Chapter two:
Tightness
Ed POV
I followed my brothers out of the house at a slower rate than I normally do, I was reluctant to leave my wife and daughter, after Nessie had come done with the flu, it was the first time that she had ever been ill and I know that I was overreacting, but my parents died from the flu and I almost died as well, but I knew that the flu she had wasn’t as bad as the one in 1918, it was just the common flu.
‘Come on Eddie, we’re meant to be hunting, try not to worry so much’ Emmett thought to me.
“Sorry.”
“We know you’re not really, but try not to worry about her so much, she’s in the best hands.” Jasper added, knowing what I was feeling.
“Yeah, I guess your both right, let’s hunt them.” I said to them both, before speed up, so that I was now ahead of them.
I couldn’t help but still worry, no matter how much I tried to push the feeling down.
“Hey!” They both called out behind me and then we all laughed as they tried to catch up with me.
We had been running for about five minutes, when the tightness in my chest started caused me to stumble backwards and clutch my chest, as I caught the breath that I didn’t need.
Emmett and Jasper ran over to me when they show me stumble and hold my chest, as they were both within sight.
“Edward, are you ok?” Jasper asked, feeling the uncomfortable feeling that I was feeling.
“Umm, yeah I think so.” I answered, rubbing my chest to try and ease the tightness that didn’t seem to be going away.
“What was that?” Emmett asked. “You almost fell over, bro.”
“I don’t know, I must just be more uncomfortable leaving Bella and Nessie than I thought.” I paused for a few seconds, “I’m alright, let’s go.”
“Alright”
“OK”
They both agreed, and then we all took off running again.
We stopped after about five more minutes, so that we were about ten miles away, and I was just about to take a bite into a mountain lion, when the pain in my chest started caused me to stumble backwards and I wrapped my arms around my chest, as I tried to catch my breath as the pain worsened, and I couldn’t help but let out a whimper of pain.
“Edward, what’s wrong?” Jasper called over to me sounding worried, running towards me as he felt the amount of pain that I was feeling and Emmett followed, also wanting to know what was wrong, as he had heard my second cry of pain, which came just after Jasper came into my line of sight and then I fell to the forest floor as Emmett then passed through the trees, as the pain grow worse and I streamed out louder.
“Edward!” They both called, when they saw me fall to the ground and start to wither in pain. Pain which felt worse than the pain that I felt during my change.
I could no longer hear any thoughts around me, due to the pain, but I could feel my brothers picking me up, and murmuring things to me that I could no longer understand.
B POV
I sat down in the space on the bed that Edward had been sat in before he left and started running the damp cloth over her face, arms and chest.
Me and Carlisle watched as Ness murmured something in her sleep and then whimpered as she rolled over and was silent once more.
“She’ll be OK Bella.” Carlisle reassured me.
“I know, I’m manly worried about Edward.”
“You don’t have to be, he’s just worried about Nessie.”
Esme walked into the room then, carrying a glass of water and a white cup of blood, with Rosalie and Alice following close behind.
“We thought that you might what to try and get Ness to drink something, so she doesn’t get dehydrated.” Esme spoke.
“That’s a great idea Es.” Carlisle said, taking the glasses from her.
Edward and the boys had been gone for about twenty minutes now, and Esme, Alice and Rosalie were now comforting Ness as I paced the room.
I stopped pacing when the slight tugging sensation started in my chest and the breath that I no longer needed caught in my throat and I had to sit down at the desk in the corner of the room.
“Bella, are you alright?” Carlisle asked, quickly walking over to me when I put my hand to my chest and sat down.
“Umm, yea” I frowned as I answered him, “I just had the weirdest feeling in my chest but it’s gone now.”
“Are you sure, that isn’t normal, Bella?” Alice asked, sounding concerned.
“Yeah, I-”
I cut myself off by letting out a high pitched screamed as I fell from the desk chair clutching my chest tightly, as the pain started to consume me.
“BELLA!”
“MUMMA!” was the last thing I heard before everything went dark and I could no longer hear or see anything.
