But, without further argument, he took me in his arms and sprang lithely from my window, landing without the slightest jolt, like a cat.

The reasons I was so certain were that, first, I was standing in a bright shaft of sunlightthe kind of blinding clear sun that never shone on my drizzly new hometown in Forks, Washington Keep Reading.

Centuries of experience in the emergency room were evident in his quiet, authoritative voice.

It didnt help my outlook that Edwards face was smooth and remote as he kissed my forehead quickly and ducked out my window.

EVEN when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise.

It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does.

I wondered how long that had been going on without me noticing.

Billys wheelchair couldnt maneuver the uneven ground separating it from the house.

Jacob started pulling the first bikethe red one, Keep Reading.

The heavy bike wobbled underneath me, threatening to knock me sidewise.

School, work, and Jacobthough not necessarily in that ordercreated a neat and effortless pattern to follow.

I got nosy, checking to make sure that Billy had taken him to a doctor.

Billy said he had, but, for some reason I couldnt nail down, I didnt really believe him.

After the surprise wore off, my heart would start to race and my palms would sweat; I couldnt really breathe again until Keep Reading.

Something scratched against my window again with the same thin, high-pitched sound.

I still wasnt sure if I was domg the right thing, but Id made a compromise with myself.

When they appeared, striding out from between the trees, they werent what I was expecting.

It was slamming me against more rocks; they beat against the center of my back sharply, rhythmically, pushing the water from Keep Reading.

He was standing about six feet back from the door, his nose wrinkled in distaste, but his face otherwise smoothmask like.

The walls were off-white, the floor carpeted in industrial gray.

Common rectangular fluorescent lights were spaced evenly along the ceiling.

My mind was dazed and slow; strange, colorful dreamsdreams and nightmaresswirled dizzily around the inside of my head.
