Note: This is the same story as spring Equinox, only from Bella's point of view. The author and I have collaborated to create this for you.

If you haven't read the first chapter of Spring Equinox, here is it:

Waking Up

“Bella? Bells, wake up, please.” 

It was a voice I would recognize anywhere. Jacob's words danced around my body, his heat keeping me blanketted with warm.

I was too weak to lift my head. This was unusual. I had been a vampire for a while now. This should have given me the strength to jump out of bed and see why Jacob sounded like he was in agony. I yearned to reach out and rub my hand against his face and push the hair out of his face but I knew it would burn. I opened my eyes and searched the room from my dormant position. I felt blind. The world was fuzzy and blur, nothing came together as a whole. The entire room was just a mixture of dull colors. The door felt a thousand miles away, the screws on the doorknob were barely visible to my unseeing eyes.

“Jake? Jake! Where are you? I can’t see!” I jumped up and fell onto my pillow with a loud thump. "I can't see!"

The top half of the bed flew up, folding my chest to my thighs. I screamed out for help but my breath caught. I hadn’t taken a breath in a long time. Incoherent thoughts made their way through my mind as I thought of an explanation for what was happening.

Something was wrong. I tried to figure out what it was as Jacob helped me with the bed. Could something have happened to Renesmee? Why am I lying down? Was I sleeping? 

The idea was ludicrous. Vampires never sleep. My thoughts became unintelligible as a man spoke silently above me. Cold metal pierced my skin and made its way through to my vein. The feeling was all too familiar. I was at the hospital. Maybe I had fallen and Carlisle was fixing me up.

That still doesn’t make sense. Vampires have senses sharper than pins. We don’t fall. Not even I could fall in my immortal body. I was graceful, agile, sturdy.

How did I fall asleep? Why was I in so much pain? How come when I reached for Jacob’s hand my arm fell flat and instead of screaming all I could do was cough? My world wasn’t making any sense. Nothing was right. Although I felt the gigantic hand of Jacob's pressed against my cheek, I felt alone, isolated. Like the world had moved on, neglecting me, only coming back to get me when they figured out I was missing. Everything was too far from my grasp and nobody would come any closer. Surely Edward and Alice would be here. How could they just leave me by myself? Rosalie would probably be dressing up Renesmee. Jasper would have a hard time being here because of the smell of blood.

Was there any blood?

I sniffed the air. All I could smell was plastic. It was too strange. It was like all my senses had been snatched away from me and I was a couch potato. I used all my will power to sit up. It didn’t take long for me back to fall against the bed. This time it wasn’t quite my fault .

“Bella! You’re awake! I’m so happy. I didn’t know what to do. I thought you were dead. You were barely breathing. Why did you jump off that damn cliff? What the hell would make you try to do something like that? You could have died, Bella!"

“Wait a second, Jake. I need to see Renesmee. Now. Where is she? Tell Edward to bring her," I breathed, barely audible.

I watched Jake’s scrutinizing face fall much too quickly with my poor eyesight.

“Renesmee?” he whispered, as though it were Pig-Latin. “What is a Renesmee?”
