Bella sat in the hospital bed, alone. All she could hear was the heart monitor and the oxygen tank behind her. Elena brought her in and told them what happened, and they took care of the rest. Her eyes were soulless, they had no brightness within them. It's like she died on the inside.

Ven hadn't told her about her brother, he couldn't. Not now. She has to recover and focus on her life and not what has happened to her. Sighing, he touched her hand, she winced obviously. Ven frowned at this. How could someone go through something like this when they don't know what's beyond their knowledge? Ven dragged his hand further up her arm, feeling the bite marks that had recited there. He knew Bella wanted them to heal, but he wanted to wait a little bit.

"Ven." He was knocked out of this thoughts when he heard Stefan called to him. Ven looks up to see his long friend, and he gets up after patting Bella's hand gently and walked towards Stefan, when he was far enough, he began speaking. "I got something for her, I got it for Elena when we first met, but we changed the look a little bit."

It was a talisman, it looked like the old witches, but it did change. Instead of it being a circle, it was butterfly shaped.

"Why would you do this for me, Stefan? You don't owe me that much..." questioned Ven in a sad tone, grabbing by the chain.

Stefan shakes his head with a smile. "You helped me a lot when I was new as a vampire, don't worry. We're best friends, if anything you owe me now." They both laugh and look at Bella. "Do you think she'll recover?"

Ven shrugs a little. "I don't know, I don't even know how she'll react when I tell her about her brother, I'll have to take it one day at a time." Ven explains to him. "The way she looks - I don't even think she'll live another day without our blood to heal those wounds of hers. She did lose a lot of blood."

"Why don't you give her some?" Stefan asked him, staring at Bella. "Do you think her supernatural blood will reject it?"

Ven shrugs and walks up to her, biting into his wrist and puts in front of Bella's face. Bella stares at it, and Ven pushes it towards her a little more, Bella blinks slowly, and leans towards it, quickly drinking his blood, when Ven pulled away, Bella looked at him while he wiped away his blood from her mouth. He looked down slightly to see the bite marks disappearing. Bella looked at him still and opened her mouth.

"Ven..." Her voice barely carried out from being so scratchy. Ven looks up at her, he could see a faint smile from her lips. "... Thank you." She began to fall asleep for the first time in a few days. Ven smiles touching her head and rubbing it. He could feel the dirt and oil in her hair. He felt so bad that he left her there for so long.

"Bella..." He said to her sleeping form. "I'll always be here for you, but - I can't risk you being in danger because of me..."

"Ven, don't do it yet, do it when she has the time to recover, anymore compelling and there might be permanent damage to her." Stefan suggested to him, and Ven sighs touching her head. Seeing the smile appear on her face.

"You're right..." Ven said removing his hand away from her head and began to walk out. "I'll wait until she recover."

A few weeks later, Bella looked a lot better but still very weak, she was released from the hospital and was heading home with Cloud. Cloud had told her that Zack went to the church to take care of the flowers and won't be back for a little while. Bella sighs and and agreed silently. When they got home, Cloud helped Bella in the house where she saw her cat, Kilala, sitting at the door waiting for them. She was bigger than your average cat, but she was lovable until you attack Bella.

When Bella was sit on the couch, she winced in pain, all the prodding with the needles they did. Her arm was still bleeding from the needle they had put in her, and she looked up at Cloud who just stared at her.
