Healing with the moon

Chapter 4 Bella P.O.V (rewritten)

My eyes became heavy as my focus switched from the television to the clock mounted high on the wall I don't know what it was but something was telling me that I had to stay away. I jumped at a soft rapping at the door, the small hand taunting me that the eleventh hour had just passed. I could not hold back the gasp of horror as my older sister slumped into my arms.

I shouted her name as I tried to get her light frame into the house. To say I was scared was an understatement I was terrified. I carefully lay her on the sofa just as she had done when I had fallen sick when I was younger, I grabbed the blanket from the end of the sofa and dropped it over her pailing skin. I ran around the small room my tiredness instantly forgotten as I looked for my phone. I let out a sigh of relief as I heard the annoying ring tone, I ran to it almost dropping it as the plastic slammed into my hand.

"Bella, what's going on, are you alright, my vision it was, Bella?"  It took me several seconds to raise that it was Alice talking and what she had said as her fast words flooded through my ear

"I-um she, I don't know" I incoherently babbled on trying desperately that something was wrong but I just couldn't

"Bella what wrong" I released the breath that kept getting stuck in my throat as I hyperventilate when I heard Carlisle's voice

"I-um worried she's here but something" I sped threw my words not even pausing for a breath until I was interrupted

"Bella I need you to take a deep breath in... out... in... out that's it, now what's going on"

"She... She is here but I don't know what happened b-but something is wrong, please I need you" my eyes started to blur as my breathing picked up again 

"I will be right over Bella just try to calm down for me" I felt safe with the thought that Carlisle would be here soon

Something about Hermione's frame told me that were ever she had left was dangerous, something told me that I had to protect my sister just as she had protected me, I ran around the house locking the windows and closing the curtains before returning to my sister's side

"Bella" Carlisle's unsure voice rang through the house I slowly looked up as he entered the living room, I instantly ran to him, dampening his shirt as I cried into his shoulder "Bella what's going on who else is in the house"

I noticed his nostrils flair as I assume he picked up the scent of my sister "she just came and collapsed as I opened the door" using his full speed he dropped my sister's suitcase instantly appearing at her side, it was only now that I realised that the door must have been left open and in my worry, I had forgotten to close and lock it

He gently took her wrist in his hand showing truly how small she was, "don't worry I locked the door" he looked up at me, for just a moment before focusing back on his patient, as he dashed from my sister to his black bag his face became more and more grave until I could not take it any more,

"Carlisle what's wrong" I slowly made my way over to the sofa so I could better see what was happening to my sister

"I think that she has internal bleeding, broken ribs and countless other injuries " I carefully raised her thin shirt revealing scars and bruises that painted her stomach like some sick canvas but the thing that truly hurt was being able to count her every rib, "it's a miracle that she is still alive she needs a hospital, I don't have the equipment here"

Hermione let out a low groan as she slowly started to try and move, I lightly placed my hand on her shoulder trying to keep her still, "no, no I-no hospital" I could hear her shallow breathing and her pain-painted face made me want to cry  "hospital, dangerous" several coughs erupted from her chest 

I carefully stroked her head out of her eyes it was full of dust and it had deflated making it more strait like mine

"Carlisle is there anything you can do without going to a hospital"

He quickly went to his bag and produced a small vile with a transparent liquid inside and a needle. He filled the needle as he approached her, she let out a squeal as she recoiled backwards trying to avoid Carlisle her eyes holding pure terror fixated on the sharp silver end of the needle. "It's alright, Carlisle only wants to help"  her eyes flicked between  me, Carlisle and the edge of the needle still refusing to move

Carlisle completely dropped to his knees making himself seem vulnerable as he slowly got closer, "I promise I am not going to hurt you" I felt my last drop of hope leave my body, Carlisle placed the needle next to her on the sofa before, slowly taking her arm inspecting the scars that littler her arm as Hermione's eyes found mine her face quickly scrunched up and she pulled her arm away, I noticed Carlisle slowly slip the needle into his pocket.

As much as I disagreed with his actions I was grateful for them as I witnessed the pain in her face fade away as she fell asleep "somethings wrong isn't it" despite already knowing the answer there was a part of me that didn't want to believe it that needed Carlisle to say that it's true

"Bella she is very hurt it is dangerous for me to treat her here" 

"Please god no, there has to be another way"

He looked away as if my desperate face pained him "PLEASE CARLISLE" I was sobbing and could barely see through the streams of tears flowing down my cheeks

"I am sorry Bella truly I am, but it is too dangerous without a hospital" I felt like I was going to throw up as my legs gave way, as my brain concluded that whether she lived or died I had lost my sister anyway.

Carlisle blurred to my side before I could hit the floor and held me as I sobbed into his shoulder. He slowly helped me over the chair as I begged him to save her.

"Edward is here," he said "you should explain to him what is happening"

"Bella"  I practically launched myself into Edward's shoulder, I wanted to be here for my sister but it hurt too much to not be able to do anything. I wished it was me not my sister who was in pain and dying.

"Carlisle what do you need," Edward looked over to his father obviously hearing his thoughts of my sister's condition until Carlisle let out a sigh

"I will try Bella but there is a high risk that your sister will die" venom had built up behind his eyes, Carlisle and Edward's conversation had clearly continued as Edward nodded his head and helped me stand before guiding me to the front door

I stared longingly at my sister and Carlisle fussing around her, I felt apathetic and could not continue as Edward sat me in the car trying to process everything that has happened in the last few years
