CHAPTER 1: The silence is touching my Soul
Coming out of Spar three guys jumped her, one hold a knife to her neck, one took her handbag, and she tried to scream, but the one in her neck sassed “quiet bitch or you will die tonight screaming.” They dragged her to an alley nearby laughing and sneering “How bouta little fuck, bitch, I’ll fuck you then I’ll rip you apart.” The one guy was saying laughing, howling like an animal. She struggled not going to give up with a fight the guy with the knife dragged her down and almost fell over ‘n waste drum. At that moment Bella found her footing and she ran. The fatty guy caught her on the jacket and pulled her backwards. She struggled out of her rain jacket ripping it, lost her balance and fell forward landing on something hard. Pain struck like a red lightning bolt sending a thousand painful spikes up her spine. Then there was darkness and a throbbing headache.
She looked up in a haze and sees this beautiful woman an angel telling her to relax that everything will be ok and that she still had a lot to do before she can die.
When she woke up for the second time there was a lot of lights and pain and a god of a man.
“Good evening Miss Swan, my name is Doctor Cullen. Do you know where you are?” he asked.
She tried to sit up but the pain in her head escalated into a brilliant inferno and she just groaned and lay back. Dr Cullen touched her gently with cold hands telling her “Just relax Miss Swan everything is going to be alright.” She felt a burning pain in her arm and then nothing.
The next morning when Bella wakes up William was sitting next to her bed holding her hand looking very worried.
“Hi love, why so gloomy.” Bella asked him.
William smiled “Lovely I’m so glad you’re ok, what happened!!!” “Three guys tried to rob me and I tried to run away but slipped on the wet floor and fell. Then an angel told me I’ll be okay. How did I get here?” Bella replied.
“Petra found you on her doorstep lights out; she immediately took you to hospital and called me.” William said.
“When was that?” Bella ask.
“Three days ago, my love. You have a concussion and a cut in your neck.” William answered.
The door opened and the doctor came in with a smile “Aah good morning Miss Swan, how you are doing this morning?”
“I’m doing well and want to go home.” Bella replied.
“So soon?” Dr Cullen chuckled “Well we still need to send you to do a MRI, it’s just a precaution, and we need to check that head injury of yours, luckily it’s a closed head injury, but I’m a little bit worried about the headaches. So Miss Swan I’m going to take you ring and earrings and give it to Mr Botha for safekeeping. Is there any questions?
“Is the MRI really necessary?” Bella asked her heart rate increasable picked up and a cold sweat is starting to form on her head.
Dr Cullen frowned “Miss Swan please try to relax, we want to make sure there is no problems later on” He touched her arm softly looking with his unique golden eyes right at her. Bella feels faint hearted this god of a man really has beautiful eyes. “Its ju...just that I’m claustrophobic” Bella stuttered a little. Dr Cullen smiled “Of course Miss Swan, it will ...” Bella interrupted him “Please Dr Cullen call me Bella” He smiled at her “Bella, just relax, I’ll give you something to help you too relax.” He touches her shoulder and press the call button a nurse appear at his side, “Doctor?” “Nurse Jenny, please get me a mild sedative for Bella for the MRI.” “Bella I want to look at that cut on your neck quickly before Nurse Jenny returns.” He bent over Bella taking off the bandage “The cut is healing very nicely.” Nurse Jenny returned and injected Bella before she could even say a word.
The silence is touching my soul, just before the screaming starts, ah this must be heaven. Block, block two steps back, one step to the left – go fast penetrating his heart. Blood is so soft, so tasteful like a glass of vintage red wine. I look at my hands and they covered in life, wasted life. I look at my love and all around me, they are all dead. He’s coming for me, I can’t run but I need the sword at least, I need to run. Nothing make sense, I am lost.
Bella tries to get up but a hand holds her down, she can smell the blood, bearing up at their graves they want to get her, grabbing at her. “O hell I killed them all, no, leave me be. No!” With a shock she suddenly sits up straight seeing her angel smiling at her comforting her, she lies back the angel disappears and the door opens a bronze haired man appears with doctor Cullen looking around frantically while moving very fast to the window. Bella is only half awake the drug induced feeling making her groan out. A cold hand touching her arm, a sharp pain and only blackness that follows.
The next morning Dr Cullen came in and smiles at Bella “How are you feeling Bella?” While taking her pulse and looking right at her.
“Fine” Bella replied a little defensive. Dr Cullen frowns “Any dreams?” Bella’s pulse starting to quickened under his fingers.
“Everybody dream Dr Cullen, where you going with this.” Bella replied testily. “So, what was your dream about?” Dr Cullen asked soothingly.
“I don’t really remember” Bella replies vaguely.
Dr Cullen smiles “Bella do you know that you talk in your sleep?” Bella blushes apple red “What did I say?” She asks dropping her eyes shyly. “You were screaming, what did you dream about, Bella? It is quite natural to dream especially after what happened to you, it’s your subconscious that’s trying to deal with the situation. So please tell me, what did you dream about?”
“Ok, I don’t know the specifics but I remember that I was in some kind of war, and there were a lot of people dying. Not necessarily being shot but there was a sword with a crest on, and somehow I knew what the crest means. There were people dying and it was my fault, I think I was in hell. Do you think that’s possible?” Bella asked Dr Cullen.
“I think this thing that happened is affecting you more than what you want to admit. Secondly it will be in your best interest if you talk to somebody about it, I’m not finished.” Dr Cullen replied holding his hand up when Bella wanted to interrupt.
“I know a very good Psychologist of course you can choose who you want to.” Dr Cullen said.
Bella looked at Dr Cullen and she only sees sympathy in his golden eyes “Ok, who is he?”
Dr Cullen laughs “Dr Esme Hale she specialized in traumatic cases, just like yours.” Bella looks at him “Is she nice?” She asks shyly.
“Very much, I already made an appointment for you at 2 o’ clock; I understand that the police want to see you regarding the robbery a lieutenant Karel? Dr Cullen said.
Bella’s face lit up “Karel, go figure, ok I will go and see him.”
“Do want a layer, Bella?” Dr Cullen asks softly. Bella looked confusedly at him “Do I need one?” she asks him. Dr Cullen handed her a card “I don’t think so Bella, but please if you need one call this number.”

Bella looked at the card and smiles at Dr Cullen “Why are you being so nice to me doctor?”
Dr Cullen looks right at her “Bella, please call me Carlisle, anyway we Americans must stick together, don’t you think so?”
Bella blushes again smiling shyly “Defiantly Carlisle, were you from?”
Carlisle replied “Well I and my family travel a lot but we lived in Forks; it’s a little town in Washing ...” Before he could complete his sentence Bella interrupted him “Forks, Washington, my dad lives there, his chief of police, Charlie Swan.” Carlisle laughs “Chief Swan I know him, he’s a good man.”
“Yes, he is, I haven’t seen him in a while” Bella replies sadly. Carlisle smiles softly “Yes Bloemfontein is quite a long way from Washington.” Bella looks at him “Yes, it is but he and my mother divorced when I was still young but I visited him on holidays, and then I got the scholarship and now I’m so far away from all my family!” Carlisle touched her arm and replies “I’m sure you will see them soon any way you are free to go now.”
The door opens up and a girl rushes in she has the same golden eyes as Carlisle with spiky black hair “Hi dad, o you must be Bella, hi I’m Alice we are going to be best of friends.” She rambles on while skipping to Bella and kissing her on the cheek. Carlisle groans “Bella this is my daughter Alice.” Bella looks shocked at him he can’t be old enough to be a dad, can he she wonders and what is it with this girl, although she seems very nice.
“Hi Alice, please to meet you.” Bella answers shyly. Alice laughs and it sounds like bells “Bella the pleasure is all mine, believe me. But I belief my dad said that you can go home now and I’m here to drive you and take you out to lunch afterwards.” Bella looked quite shocked at Carlisle and then at Alice “thanks but,” Before she could complete her sentence Alice opened up the bag in her hands taking out clothes replying “No need to thank me Bella, I bought you some clothes to wear to the police station and I’m going to drive you otherwise my dad is going to let you stay here” Alice threatens. Bella looks at Carlisle and he told her softly “Just do as she says Bella that always helps, anyway if you have any headaches or if you feel nauseas please call me immediately, be safe and remember your two o clock appointment.”
