control�察�to attack the enemies or outrun them。 To avoid the pain。 Always human and weak�察�the only thing 
I'd ever been able to 

do was keep going。 Endure。 Survive。 

It had been enough up to this point。 It would have to be enough today。 I would endure this until help 
came。 

I knew Edward would be doing everything he could。 He would not give up。 Neither would I。 

I held the blackness of nonexistence at bay by inches。 

It wasn't enough�察�though!that determination。 As the time ground on and on and the darkness gained by 
tiny eighths and sixteenths of my inches�察�I needed something more to draw strength from。 

I couldn't pull even Edward's face into view。 Not Jacob's�察�not Alice's or Rosalie's or Charlie's or 
Renee's or Carlisle's or Esme's。。。 Nothing。 It terrified me�察�and I wondered if it was too late。 

I felt myself slipping!there was nothing to hold on to。 

No��I had to survive this。 Edward was depending on me。 Jacob。 Charlie Alice Rosalie Carlisle Renee 
Esme。。。 

Renesmee。 

And then�察�though I still couldn't see anything�察�suddenly I could feel something。 Like phantom limbs�察�I 
imagined I could feel my arms again。 And in them�察�something small and hard and very�察�very warm。 

My baby。 My little nudger。 

I had done it。 Against the odds�察�I had been strong enough to survive Renesmee�察�to hold on to her until 
she was strong enough to live without me。

That spot of heat in my phantom arms felt so real。 I clutched it closer。 It was exactly where my heart 
should be。 Holding tight the warm memory of my daughter�察�I knew that I would be able to fight the 
darkness as long as I needed to。 

The warmth beside my heart got more and more real�察�warmer and warmer。 Hotter。 The heat was so real 
it was hard to believe that I was imagining it。 

Hotter。 

Uncomfortable now。 Too hot。 Much�察�much too hot。 

Like grabbing the wrong end of a curling iron!my automatic response was to drop the scorching thing 
in my arms。 But there was nothing in my arms。 My arms were not curled to my chest。 My arms were 
dead things lying somewhere at my side。 The heat was inside me。 

The burning grew!rose and peaked and rose again until it surpassed anything I'd ever felt。 

I felt the pulse behind the fire raging now in my chest and realized that I'd found my heart again�察�just in 
time to wish I never had。 To wish that I'd embraced the blackness while I'd still had the chance。 I wanted 
to raise my arms and claw my chest open and rip the heart from it!anything to get rid of this torture。 But 
I couldn't feel my arms�察�couldn't move one vanished finger。 

James�察�snapping my leg under his foot。 That was nothing。 That was a soft place to rest on a feather bed。 
I'd take that now�察�a hundred times。 A hundred snaps。 I'd take it and be grateful。 

The baby�察�kicking my ribs apart�察�breaking her way through me piece by piece。 That was nothing。 That 
was floating in a pool of cool water。 I'd take it a thousand times。 Take it and be grateful。 

The fire blazed hotter and I wanted to scream。 To beg for someone to kill me now�察�before I lived one 
more second in this pain。 But I couldn't move my lips。 The weight was still there�察�pressing on me。 

I realized it wasn't the darkness holding me down�察�it was my body。 So heavy。 Burying me in the flames 
that were chewing their way out from my heart now�察�spreading with impossible pain through my 
shoulders and stomach�察�scalding their way up my throat�察�licking at my face。 

Why couldn't I move�拭�Why couldn't I scream�拭�This wasn't part of the stories。 

My mind was unbearably clear!sharpened by the fierce pain!and I saw the answer almost as soon as 
I could form the questions。 

The morphine。 

It seemed like a million deaths ago that we'd discussed it!Edward�察�Carlisle�察�and I。 Edward and Carlisle 
had hoped that enough painkillers would help fight the pain of the venom。 Carlisle had tried with Emmett�察�
but the venom had burned ahead of the medicine�察�sealing his veins。 There hadn't been time for it to 
spread。 

I'd kept my face smooth and nodded and thanked my rarely lucky stars that Edward could not read my 
mind。 




                                                                                                              Page 223

Because I'd had morphine and venom together in my system before�察�and I knew the truth。 I knew the 
numbness of the medicine was completely irrelevant while the venom seared through my veins。 But 
there'd been no way I was going to mention that fact。 Nothing that would make him more unwilling to 
change me。 

I hadn't guessed that the morphine would have this effect!that it would pin me down and gag me。 Hold 
me paralyzed while I burned。 

I knew all the stories。 I knew that Carlisle had kept quiet enough to avoid discovery while he burned。 I 
knew that�察�according to Rosalie�察�it did no good to scream。 And I'd hoped that maybe I could be like 
Carlisle。 That I would believe Rosalie's words and keep my mouth shut。 Because I knew that every 
scream that escaped my lips would torment Edward。 

Now it seemed like a hideous joke that i was getting my wish fulfilled。 

If I couldn't scream�察�how could I tell them to kill me�拭�

All I wanted was to die。 To never have been born。 The whole of my existence did not outweigh this 
pain。 Wasn't worth living through it for one more heartbeat。 

Let me die�察�let me die�察�let me die。 

And�察�for a never´ending space�察�that was all there was。 Just the fiery torture�察�and my soundless shrieks�察�
pleading for death to come。 Nothing else�察�not even time。 So that made it infinite�察�with no beginning and no 
end。 One infinite moment of pain。 

The only change came when suddenly�察�impossibly�察�my pain was doubled。 The lower half of my body�察�
deadened since before the morphine�察�was suddenly on fire�察�too。 Some broken connection had been 
healed!knitted together by the scorching fingers of the flame。 

The endless burn raqed on。 

It could have been seconds or days�察�weeks or years�察�but�察�eventually�察�time came to mean something 
again。 

Three things happened together�察�grew from each other so that I didn't know which came first�此�time 
restarted�察�the morphine's weight faded�察�and I got stronger。 

I could feel the control of my body come back to me in increments�察�and those increments were my first 
markers of the time passing。 I knew it when I was able to twitch my toes and twist my fingers into fists。 I 
knew it�察�but I did not act on it。 

Though the fire did not decrease one tiny degree!in fact�察�I began to develop a new capacity for 
experiencing it�察�a new sensitivity to appreciate�察�separately�察�each blistering tongue of flame that licked 
through my veins!I discovered that I could think around it。 

I could remember why I shouldn't scream。 I could remember the reason why I'd committed to enduring 
this unendurable agony。 I could remember that�察�though it felt impossible now�察�there was something that 
might be worth the torture。 

This happened just in time for me to hold on when the weights left my body。 To anyone watching me�察�

there would be no change。 But for me�察�as I struggled to keep the screams and thrashing locked up inside 
my body�察�where they couldn't hurt anyone else�察�it felt like I'd gone from being tied to the stake as I 
burned�察�to gripping that stake to hold myself in the fire。 

I had just enough strength to lie there unmoving while I was charred alive。 

My hearing got clearer and clearer�察�and I could count the frantic�察�pounding beats of my heart to mark the 
time。 

I could count the shallow breaths that gasped through my teeth。 

I could count the low�察�even breaths that came from somewhere close beside me。 These moved slowest�察�
so I concentrated on them。 They meant the most time passing。 More even than a clock's pendulum�察�those 
breaths pulled me through the burning seconds toward the end。 

I continued to get stronger�察�my thoughts clearer。 When new noises came�察�I could listen。 

There were light footsteps�察�the whisper of air stirred by an opening door。 The footsteps gotcloser�察�and I 
felt pressure against the inside of my wrist。 I couldn't feel the coolness of the fingers。 The fire blistered 
away every memory of cool。 

;Still no change�拭─�

;None。; 

The lightest pressure�察�breath against my scorched skin。 

;There's no scent of the morphine left。; 

;I know。; 

;Bella�拭�Can you hear me�拭─�

I knew�察�beyond all doubt�察�that if I unlocked my teeth I would lose it!I would shriek and screech and 
writhe and 

thrash。 If I opened my eyes�察�if I so much as twitched a finger!any change at all would be the end of my 
control。 

;Bella�拭�Bella�察�love�拭�Can you open your eyes�拭�Can you squeeze my hand�拭─�

Pressure on my fingers。 It was harder not to answer this voice�察�but I stayed paralyzed。 I knew that the 
pain in his voice now was nothing compared to what it could be。 Right now he only feared that I was 
suffering。 

;Maybe。。。 Carlisle�察�maybe I was too late。; His voice was muffled�察�it broke on the word late。 

My resolve wavered for a second。 

;Listen to her heart�察�Edward。 It's stronger than even Emmett's was。 I've never heard anything so vital。 
Shell be perfect。; 



                                                                                                                 Page 225

Yes�察�I was right to keep quiet。 Carlisle would reassure him。 He didn't need to suffer with me。 

;And her!her spine�拭─�

;Her injuries weren't so much worse than Esme's。 The venom will heal her as it did Esme。; 

;But she's so still。 I must have done something wrong。; 

;Or something right�察�Edward。 Son�察�you did everything I
