Summary: The Cullens have many questions for why you disappeared into the darkness of the night.

 The first thing I could remember was I was cold but I could feel the flurry of blankets on top of me. I knew what this meant.

They had found me.

And they knew what had happened.

I could hear the Nurse to describing my injuries to them.

"Broken leg."

"Fractured rib and bruised lung."

These words bounced around me before willing me to open my eyes. I felt drowsy and tired but I forced them open. I could hear footsteps of people rushing around me.

"Y/N, can you hear me?" the doctor asked. I slowly nodded as I came to my senses, looking around the room.

My limbs felt heavy and weak like they were in a deep sleep.

"You're ok. You're safe now. You're in hospital and have just had surgery." She continued as I took in all my surroundings. She smiled gently before turning to Esme and Carlisle, whispered something and then left, closing the door with a gentle click behind her.

An awkward silence took hold of the room as my family exchanged looks.

Alice was on my pillow braiding my hair in small plaits, Rosalie was sitting on the bed to the right of me resting her cool hand on my blanket covered thigh while everyone else was either sitting by the foot of my bed or sitting in chairs on my left.

"Y/N, do you remember what happened?" Rosalie's gentle voice broke the silence as she began to trace circular patterns and shapes on my leg helping me relax.

I nodded gently and turned to my left looking down at the bed as I pulled and played with the bed sheet and duvet. Rosalie shifted so she was in the curve of my thighs and my head was resting in Alice's lap.

"Why did you do it sweetheart?" Esme asked. She gently picked up my hand and clasped it in her own, kissing my knuckles and smoothing over the rough cuts and scabs. Alice brushed some hair away from my face and gently caressed my cheek and grinned when I nuzzled against her hands.

"Victoria... she threatened me." I answered. My voice was coarse and scratchy and was barely audible as my throat ached. I cleared my throat before continuing and suppressed a small yawn as everyone smiled comfortingly.

"It's ok. Take your time, short stack." I chuckled at the nickname as did everyone else as Emmett spoke, surprisingly quietly.

I smiled before exhaling and taking my time. "Said she'd kill you if I didn't leave but I knew she would kill me. I'd rather I die than my family." I looked up at everyone with teary eyes.

Everyone was smiling softly and comforting me in their own way as my own words sunk in.

"I didn't see her." Alice said as I looked up at her.

"She knew about your power." I looked back down and blush filled my cheeks as I played with my IV before Carlisle picked up my hand stopping me. He clasped it in the middle of his large hands and kissed my knuckles gently.

"What did she do to you Y/N?" Rosalie piped up. I could hear the fear behind her voice but also the anger and poisonous tone behind it.

"Tortured me so she could find out about your powers."

"Oh honey! That's ok! We're not angry at you." Esme began to comfort me before I interrupted her.

"No, I lied to her. I gave her false information. But she made the decision quickly which is why you didn't see her. The torture was how I got hurt." Tears dripped down my cheeks as I looked down, feeling like I had ashamed them. "I'm sorry." I murmured as my voice cracked.

Carlisle's cool finger lifted my finger so I was looking right at him and he kissed my nose softly, making me smile slightly. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm sorry it took us so long to find you. I'm so proud of you Y/N." He mumbled and rested his cold forehead against my clammy skin.

I jumped up and threw my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. I ignored the pain in my body as I clung to Carlisle's shirt. His steel arms wrapped around me as he kissed my head and rubbed my back. Slowly, everyone else joined and wrapped their arms, joining the embrace. Emmett ruffled my hair before gently playing it. Rosalie pressed kisses to my cheek as she and Alice hugged me from behind. I yawned loudly in Carlisle's shirt as I relaxed in the hug.

"I love you so much." My voice was groggy with tiredness and muffled as I kept a firm grip on everyone.

"You need to go back to sleep my darling." Rosalie said softly and everyone agreed with her.

"Don't leave." I mumbled and tears filled my eyes.

"We won't go anywhere. Lay down sweetheart." Carlisle instructed as Rosalie and Alice moved me away from him and back into bed. They fixed the blankets and made sure I was comfy.

I grabbed Carlisle's and Esme's fingers with one hand and Alice's with the other. I laid my feet over Rosalie, trapping her as I relaxed again.

"We're going to sort this out. We'll be back before you're awake." Jasper smiled and kissed my forehead with Emmett copying his actions. They waved before shutting the door and leaving.

"Go to sleep. It's ok. We're right here." Esme comforted before I allowed my eyes to droop to a close.

The exhaustion quickly washed over me and I fell to asleep instantaneously.
