Devil in a Sweet Kiss [Twilight Fanfics]

Emptiness Inside Her

Quiet. Silent. Eerie. 

The constant beeping of the heart monitor was the only loud sound in the room. There was, of course, the soft breathing of the bedridden girl and the frequent delayed sounds of the oxygen pump. There used to be echoes of shoes running passed the closed door to the room, once when she had been placed in a hospital and not her bedroom now.

‘I’m sorry. There seems to be no chance of your daughter ever regaining mobility. Her entire body is paralyzed for the rest of her life…’ 

She remembered those words. They would never leave her mind, haunting her and making her cry. She had been this way her entire life. How could that ever change?

No one knew why fourteen year old Isabella Swan was unable to move her body since birth, or why at the very least she was able to breathe without the pump for a limited amount of time or was able to move her eyes. But that…was all she was capable of doing. 

She lay in that bed, trapped and unable to do anything.

Later that year, a miracle had happened. Bella was able to move. And by move, she was able to move freely. But there was a secret to how she could –after all, she was supposed to be paralyzed for the rest of her life. And it was something Renee, Phil, and Charlie knew no one could ever know.

Bella was telekinetic.

She was able to move things with her mind. They saw her do so in the room, trying to help herself when no one was around or when she didn’t want to trouble them. More commonly, she used it to try to communicate with them.

Two years later, Bella was able to perfect it the point where she could completely move her body around with her power. Unfortunately, the current doctor that was working with her was getting too close to figuring out their secret, so they knew it was time for her to move on to another doctor. They all decided it might be a good idea for Bella to move to Forks, Washington to live with Charlie.

“Are you sure you’ll be fine, sweetheart?” Renee asked worriedly.

“Really, we could move to the next state over instead of having you move all the way over there,” Phil added.

Bella shook her head, “It’s alright, guys. It’ll be good for me, I think. I have a good feeling about this.”

“If you’re sure,” Renee gave in uncertainly.

Bella gave them a hesitant smile before going to her plane. Several hours later, she was in Forks, already feeling the jetlag and hoping Charlie would be there already. She was in luck; she could already see him standing up excitedly with a poster board proclaiming her name.

“Hey, Dad,” she greeted him awkwardly. He gave an awkward smile back, reminding her that she had a lot more in common with Charlie than admittedly her mom. Not that she didn’t have to take care of both of them.

“Hey, Bell. You ready to go?”

Bella shrugged, but wobbled as she took another step closer. Alarmed, her dad leaped forward to make sure she stayed upright.

“I’m okay, I’m okay.”

Charlie didn’t look like he believed her, but he didn’t question her. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve already set up your first appointment with your new doctor. He’s got a really attractive family; you’d know who they were right away.”

“Really attractive, huh?” Bella tried to sound interested, to avoid feeling a headache coming on from the fact she had to already face a doctor.
