Ch. 49 – Am I dead?

  *Jasper's POV

  "Who... are you?" My happihat she finally woke up vanished as I froze in shock. I felt Annabell's love but it was clouded by fusion.

  "You... don't remember?" I mao ask, feeling my throat tighten. "Carlisle!" Calling out, I knew he wasn't too far and would hear me. Annabell reached out and caressed my cheek again. "Oh, angel..." I couldn't help a pained sigh. Did I lose you after all? I thought c her hand with my own to keep her warmth on my skin for a little longer. If I ever thought my heart could start to beat again, now I wasn't sure I had one anymore.

  Annabell was sad now and tears were leaviraces on her cheeks. "Please... don't cry." I whispered wipiears away.

  "I know that I know you..." She started, slowly. "But I ot recall anything about you except for your voice..." She hesitated before finishing. "...and how I feel about you." I knew what she was feeling. She felt the same love like this m and I could only imagihat the love she felt but currently had no background to, was the main reason for her fusion.

  I opened my mouth to say something but just then Carlisle hurried ihe room. "Jas-oh Annabell you're finally awake!" He excimed, notig Annabell's opened eyes, fusing her even more.

  "And who are you?" Asked Annabell warily, tensing. "Did you e to kill me again?" Again..? Carlisle looked shocked for a moment before a realization lit his face.

  "Annabell, what do you remember?" He asked carefully.

  "I... I don't know." She felt little anxious, frowning. "There was darkness, nothing. I had a dream of sorts. Only it didn't feel like a dream. I was fighting vampires. I think... I was killed." That sounded like eter told me about dy Michae's death. Her frown deepened. "Am I dead? Ugh, no... my body hurts too mue to be dead or I somehow deserved to end up in hell." She answered her owion. "I know that you are a vampire. Did you e to kill me too?" Asked Annabell again.

  "Ann... you know I am also a vampire but you didn't reae this way." I said, perplexed. "Carlisle is a doctor. He treated your wounds." She turo face me.

  "But that's impossible! I feel the warmth of your toud your presence is pletely different to any other vampire I've met." Annabell looked utterly lost, pletely fused. "What even happeo me? In that 'dream' I got only bitten once, but now I hurt all over. Unless I really am dead and the pain is some kind of punishment."

  Carlisle looked at me and I shook my head. "You fell dowairs at school. You survived, but you have broken your arm, leg and suffered a severe cussioo a blow to your head as you fell. Which seems to be apanied by a loss of memory." He answered her. "It be only temporary." Said Carlisle, turning to look at me. "But it could be also perma."

  I didn't know what to do. Still holding her hand in mine I felt just as lost as Annabell. There was a ce she'd never remember me.

  Most important now is for Ao heal. I was trying to set my priorities right and think of what led to her healing her ankle before. She thought that dy Michae did it but then said her power healed her on its own... "Annabell, you try using your power?"

  "How do you know about it?" She looked little shocked now, fag me.

  "Because you used it on me before, my love." That caused her to go from shock to being pissed off.

  "I don't know who the hell you think you are but stop messing with me! First you cim to be a vampire without having stonelike cold skin and now you joke about my power, nobody is supposed to know of!" She stayed quiet for a moment, seemingly remembering something. "Unless..." Again shod utter disbelief but also realization appeared in her emotions. "You're not messing with me? Are you saying that I hit you with my light before?" She asked, little suspicious.

  "Yes, you did. You ummm..." I wasn't particurly happy about reminding her of that but I needed her to trust me. "...were savier from me. Because I thought he hurt you and I was about to kill him." She gasped. "Well that's just stupid!" She excimed. "Peter would never hurt me." That statement shocked me.

  "You remember Peter?" It hurt that she remembered him and not me, but it gave me a hope. It meant she didn't have a plete amnesia and maybe we could find a way to the memories she lost.

  "Of course I remember Peter. He was like a father to me. Wait, are you saying he's back?" She was surprised and hopeful. "Peter?!" She called out loud. Rosalie with Emmett left to let school know about Annabell's 'act', pick up Emmett's car ao hunt. Peter left me aloh her, but stayed close by, so it didn't take long for him to show his head in the door after Annabell called him.

  "Yo, you finally up baby girl?" He asked jokingly, feeling huge relief seeing her awake.

  She chuckled while Peter made his way to the other side of her bed, opposite from me. "I told you I'm no baby." Theurned serious again. "Peter, do you think I trust Carlisle?"

  Peter looked little fused by her question but given the se I arrived to earlier, he looked thoughtfully at the man iion. "Well, he is the doc that patched you up, Annie. All the things sidered..." He turo look at me. "...I think you ."

  "Hmm, ok." Annabell went quiet for a sed. There was loneliness in her emotions. "Peter? Why did you disappear after Chris died? And why the hell did I think he was a human at some point?"

  Slightly taken aback, Peter asked carefully. "So you remember now? I think Jane pyed with your memory after was Chris killed. She always wanted a normal life for you, hon. That's also why she asked me to not tact you anymore." That somewhat enraged her.

  "No way! How could she do that? I've never been nor will be normal... I 't believe she did that." Annabel's anger morphed into sadness again. Then she realized something. "Peter, you'd never hurt me, right?"

  "Of course." He answered without hesitation. "Why you o ask?"

  "See?" She turo me triumphally. "There's no way I used my power on you. Especially since you cim to be a vampire." Stated Annabell.

  "Umm..." Peter looked from her to me and back, fused. "You did, A was a little misuanding but I'm seriously gd you hit him and not me. Don't tell me you fot." He gave a little nervous chuckle.

  Annabell was shocked. "Oh my god, I could have killed you! How could mom do that to me?" Tears started to form in her mesmerizing emerald eyes, making them shine. "But that means..." Fag me now, her emotions were such a fusing mixture that I couldn't pinpoint any major one, until regret with sadness won. "I'm so sorry. I 't imagine how it must have made you feel to have your mate fet about you..." Whispered Annabell as her tears overflowed and she reached to pce her hand on my cheek again.

  "All that matters, is that you are alive, my angel." I whispered back, gently wipiears. Suddenly she looked like she got an idea, feeling slight excitement, hope aermination.

  "Did I really hit you with my light then?" Asked Annabell again. fusing me.

  "Yes, you did." I firmed. "What-"

  She interrupted me excitedly. "I may be able to fix what mom and the fall did to my memory!"
