{Hospital}
     (Azira's POV)
  I sneezed at the scent of bleach and chemicals as I look around the ward area Bella was brought into, she had regained consciousness a little while ago in the ambulance before reaching the hospital and her father, Chief Swan, got here in a rush after he heard what happened. He's chewing Tyler out right now who's in the sectioned spot next to us, I hum to myself as secretly scout out the staff and sections of the hospital that I've seen so far, 'No sign of David yet.. or should I say Leslie Clark..' the gears turn in my mind as I think of how to get information out of anyone of the staff without unintentionally tipping David off that he's been found. My concentration is broken at the sound of the doctor as he arrives to give Bella a check up and treat the scrape on her arm, taking a good look at him, I think 'Seriously, another vampire? Wait, Dr. Cullen.. oh right, the "Father" of the Cullens kids. Mr. Foster Dad/Matchmaker as Jessica likes to call him.. well damn, he a fine dad though..' my expression remains calm as I greet him back when he greets me, keeping polite before remaining silent at the side as he treats Bella's scrape.

  As I walk into the ward area to give the report on Isabella Swan's condition, I'm met with the most amazing scent I've ever smelt which sparks a strange sensation within me, it seems to get stronger the closer I get to the section Isabella is set in and as I raise my gaze to the side, my eyes collide with metallic grey ones that send a jolt of electricity through my body, as if on instinct I take in every detail of the dark skinned female before me, 'What beautiful eyes.. an impressive lady at first glance.. and that aura, I'm guessing this is the Azira the others were talking about..' I greet her, 'Greetings. I hear you're the brave lady who saved Bella from the accident? I'm impressed.' if my heart was still functioning, it would be beating out of control as I heared her melodic low voice, "It's no big deal, I was somewhat close to where she was so I acted on impulse. Just glad she's safe and nothing too serious ended up happening." She says with a calm, polite tone yet something tells me that tone is not all that genuine. Giving her a nod, I proceed to engage in conversation with Charlie as I tend to Bella's scrape, it's at this time that Bella speaks up towards Azira, "You saved me? Weird, I could've sworn it was Edward. I.. remember seeing a pale, male hand against the car seconds before I passed out.. it looked familiar to his.." slight worry of her suspicion starts to build in me but at the very second, Azira responds with something that catches me off guard.

   Azira answers with a somewhat deadpan expression, "Girl, please. That boy was all the way on the other side of the parking lot from where you were standing, I yanked you from your blind spot at the same time some man from the school cleaning staff who was a few feet away from your car got to you and shoved you down in an attempt to get you out of the way. The hand you saw which dented the van belonged to that man as a result of an adrenaline rush in the moment, I think he's in a different ward since his arm is fractured from that action and the only reason it worked was because Tyler's van was losing momentum by the time it reached you." hearing her words, I would have also believed her too had Edward not called and given me a vague explanation of what happened. She goes on to add as she rests her hand on Bella's shoulder, "I think you got disoriented during the whole fray of what happened, you're memory might be a bit jumbled since you passed out less than a minute after hitting the ground, you might have been staring at that Edward guy a bit too long prior and spaced out before noticing the whole out of control van." Bella stutters in slight embarrassment at the last part and gets into an awkward banter with Charlie as he gets on the topic of boys with Bella.

   (Azira's POV)
  After manipulating the hell out of Bella's mind, I bid my goodbyes to her and her dad as well as Dr. Fine body- I mean Cullen before leaving the ward area and going down the hall. Passing nurses and other doctors as I hid my presence completely using my energy shield, getting to the staff offices and going through each silently without worry of being seen before I find something useful and decide now would be okay to leave, going back in the hallway and dropping my energy shield when I'm in a safe spot to continue on like I'm just leaving. Once out of the hospital, I get in my car and drive home, ready to set the next step of my plan in motion this weekend.
