The buzzing noise reverberating in my head arose me from the darkness.

I believed I was dead, for there wasn't the tiniest of the hint that gave it away that I might be alive, not in the slightest ,especially after the several fatal wounds I received .

And then, there was the pain .Maybe pain would be a mild word , nothing that could least describe the physical torture I was forced into.

But it was at the least, assuring that I did have a chance after all.

Eventually , after loosing track of time and hope, the constant buzzing in my empty dark mind changed to whispers .

Though the voices were quite familiar, I wasn't in a state to simply recognize them ,no matter how hard I tried and only ended up exhausted every time .

And I gave up on that too and simply lay on the soft cushions...waiting.

Waiting and listening even though the whispers around me made not the least sense.

There were times, when I was shut out from the whispers and silence reigned my head ,scaring the hell out of me .

But no matter how blur my memory seemed , there was one single feeling, more like a need...a need to survive as though something awaited me when I would open my eyes .

I didn't know what it could be but it definitely seemed important ...important enough to fight the agony. I had to stay alive for what? I never knew and so I continued my silent battle .

The heaviness on my eyelids lifted gradually , and I finally succeeded in opening my eyes only to rapidly blink at the sudden brightness blinding me temporarily.

After the slightly disoriented state of mind , I gazed up at the plain white ceiling above .

I could hear voices in the room .

Renesmee?

And...

Maggie?

The sudden blow of memories flooding into my brain gave me a headache but it was relief that I opted for .

I tried to swallow and felt my dry mouth.

With a sharp intake of breadth the movement of my neck brought, I glanced to my right where I could make out vague figures shuffling around as they spoke.

"-wonder what gave it away though."

"Maybe ,she had mentioned it before-"

"No! Knowing the danger it might put him in - hardly ! It must have-"

A shocked gasp from Renesmee interrupted Maggie's words .

"Nessie, something wrong ?"

There was only silence that followed the question while I desperately tried moving my hand- one which wasn't wrapped in an arm sling .

"S-She's awake?!"

I shifted my eyes to the girls, who entered my vision and now where clearly gushing out a stream of words which I couldn't quite catch.

Maggie squealed with joy making me wince and a minute later stormed out of the room saying she was going to call Seth .

Renesmee turned to me with a bright smile.

"How do you feel?"she whispered .

Opening my mouth with a Herculean task,"Fine."I croaked .

" He's gonna be relieved knowing you're awake ." she said taking my hand in both of hers .
