Little Bella

Chapter 8

"Will this make me sleepy?" I asked Daddy, cringing mentally.
"Well, um... yeah," he answered, looking kind of sheepish.
I sighed, taking the pills and cup of water from him. After throwing the pills into my mouth, I quickly downed the water in 2 gulps. Almost immediately I felt the leaden drowsy feeling running in my veins and just like that, I was out like a light.

Esme's P.O.V
Poor girl. She was beaten and abused so badly, I have no idea who would say no to her. She is adorable. Just after Bella fell asleep, the door opened and Edward walked in.
"So? Why are we taking her home with us? To a family of vampires?" he lowered his voice at the word vampire.
"Who can't resist her? She was beaten!" Carlisle's voice was hard, a rare thing for him.
"Fine," growled Edward. "But I'm going hunting with Jasper."
"Fine by me," I told him loftily, my eyes drifting towards Bella.

With a hiss, Edward turned and left the room. OMG! I'm her mother now! My dream just came true!!! I couldn't stop thinking those words, I was too ecstatic.
"Mommy..." Bella mumbled in her sleep. I just about fainted. Then she spoke again. "Daddy... Mommy... Bella... my family..."

I was too happy to express my feelings. So I walked into the bathroom, closed the door and started jumping up and down, squealing in delight. After about 15 minutes, I had calmed down enough to stop squealing and jumping to go sit beside Bella again. Carlisle was gone. Bella was twitching, as if in pain. I gasped and held her hand tight, as if it could help her. It didn't. I watched her face anxiously, ready to call Carlisle at any sign of distress.

Bella's P.O.V
I was sitting on my mattress at home, checking my injuries. They weren't the worst, but they could be fatal. Then the door opened gently, and Sarah was there.
"Sarah!" I cried, but all that came out was a strangled whisper. She softly shut the door and rushed gracefully to me.
"Oh Bella. Sorry I left, but..." Sarah sighed.
"I don't care!" I whispered fiercely. "As long as you're here-" I was interrupted by the door slamming open. I gasped. It was Dalton. And surprisingly, he had a gun in his hands.
"You thought you could get past me?" he hissed menacingly at Sarah. Then he lifted the gun and shot her in the head.

Sarah slumped over, obviously dead. I screamed and scrambled away from him, but I wasn't gonna get very far. He grabbed me by the throat, squeezing. I choked, my face probably turning blue. There was no hint of remorse in his face. Then he hit me, and all went dark.

I woke up screaming. Mommy was there, looking alarmed.
"What's the matter?!?" she asked loudly. Then Daddy burst in.
"D-D-Dal-Dal-T-Ton..." I stuttered in between my tears. "He.. k-k-killed m-me and S-Sa-Sara-Sarah..."
"I'm so sorry, sweetheart," murmured Mommy, stroking my hair.
"Shh, darling. Go to sleep. It's night, and you'll go home tomorrow morning," Daddy reassured me.
"But... my d-d-dreams..."
"We'll keep them away," smiled Daddy.
I nodded, and closed my eyes. Fatigue overcame me, and all was dark.
