CARLISLE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO STAYED calm. Centuries of experience in theemergency room were evident in his quiet, authoritative¹ voice.

　　"Emmett, Rose, get Jasper outside."Unsmiling for once, Emmett nodded. "Come on, Jasper."Jasper struggled against Emmett's unbreakable grasp, twisting around, reaching toward his brother withhis bared teeth, his eyes still past reason.

　　Edward's face was whiter than bone as he wheeled to crouch² over me, taking a clearly defensiveposition. A low warning growl³ slid from between his clenched⁴ teeth. I could tell that he wasn't breathing.

　　Rosalie, her divine face strangely smug, stepped in front of Jasper—keeping a careful distance from histeeth—and helped Emmett wrestle⁵ him through the glass door that Esme held open, one hand pressedover her mouth and nose.

　　Esme's heart-shaped face was ashamed. "I'm so sorry, Bella," she cried as she followed the others intothe yard.

　　"Let me by, Edward," Carlisle murmured.

　　A second passed, and then Edward nodded slowly and relaxed his stance.

　　Carlisle knelt beside me, leaning close to examine my arm. I could feel the shock frozen on my face, andI tried to compose it.

　　"Here, Carlisle," Alice said, handing him a towel.

　　He shook his head. "Too much glass in the wound." He reached over and ripped a long, thin scrap⁶ fromthe bottom of the white tablecloth⁷. He twisted it around my arm above the elbow to form a tourniquet⁸.

　　The smell of the blood was making me dizzy. My ears rang.

　　"Bella," Carlisle said softly. "Do you want me to drive you to the hospital, or would you like me to takecare of it here?""Here, please," I whispered. If he took me to the hospital, there would be no way to keep this fromCharlie.
