Isabella's POV

So it's been two days now since my hypothermia and envenomation events. I stretch, looking over at Noah who is currently sitting on his bed looking at me.

"What time is it?" I ask him with a big yawn that I try to cover.

"It's like noon, lunch will be ready soon, go into YOUR ROOM and take a shower and get dressed." He tells me, heavily emphasizing "your room".

I frown, just thinking about the spider in there sends a shiver down my spine, I think I may have to move to a new room.

Noah laughs at me as if he can read my mind, I throw one of his pillows at him but he catches it in mid air.

"There are no more spiders in your room, Dom had an exterminator come and spray some non toxic shit around the house and your room, he went through your whole room top to bottom. Your room is now like chernobyl for bugs, nothing will survive in there for the next hundred years." He tells me and I laugh, that does make me feel better.

My mood turns serious, I need to ask him something, it's bothering me.
"Noah, have you ever meet my tutor Marcus Black?" I ask him as I sit up in his bed.

"Yeah, of course, he tutors Nick and I sometimes for final exams or if my grades drop Dom always makes weekend tutoring sessions as part of my punishment. Why do you ask?" He looks at me with a curious expression.

"I don't know, at first impression I just don't like him." I say.

"He's strict and has always had a stick up his ass but he's been a descent tutor for Nick and I over the years, I've never really had a problem with him and as far as I know Nick hasn't either. That being said if he ever says or does something to you, you just tell us and we will kick his ass, got it?" He says with a smirk but I have a feeling he would love to beat up Marucs for any reason.

"Yeah, thanks Noah" I say smiling at him, he did make me feel better. I jump up throwing my arms around him and giving him a loud kiss on the cheek, catching him by surprise. He flips me back onto the bed after my mission is accomplished and tickles me. I roll away and run out of his room still laughing. I run straight into my bathroom, I've gotta pee something fierce...I've only been holding for what...22 hours!

After I am done showering, I do a quick butt check, it's still a little tender but only slightly pink. I finish getting dressed and head downstairs to the dinning room for lunch. Everyone is down here seated.

"Hey Bella, how are you feeling?" Elijah asks as he stands up and comes over giving me a hug and kiss.
"How is the bite, does it still hurt?" "May I?" he ask indicating he wants to move my shirt collar to the side to view the bite on my shoulder. I nod, allowing him to see it.

"I feel okay, the bites still tender and sore, I'm mostly just still tired" I reply

He nods to me "That's normal to be tired and it may be several days before you feel completely normal again, just rest when you feel like it and drink lots of fluids, okay?
Come on let's get some food into you, young lady." Eli says ruffling my hair. I smile and take a seat next to Luca.

"I'm so glad your awake, Bella, this house is boring without you." Luca says jokingly.

"Yeah, right" Noah says "Just because she attracts danger everywhere she goes doesn't mean we're boring!" He laughs "I mean who walks into the woods and brings back a spider?!"
