Summary: Bella is in a semi-conscious state from James’ attack. Suddenly, she is aware of a voice of an “angel” calling her. The “angel” is Edward. Soon she realizes, although she is barely conscious, that Edward, Alice, and Carlisle are all in the room.
Carlisle begins treating her numerous wounds when suddenly they realize that James bit her. Unless they suck out the venom Bella will be turned into a vmpire. Carlisle can’t suck out the venom and treat Bella’s wounds at the same time so it falls to Edward to do it. At first he is afraid he’ll be unable to control himself, but with a final resolve he is successfully able to do it.
Before Bella finally passes out, she tells Alice about the video where James tells of his history with Alice. Bella finally loses consciousness in Edward’s arms as he carries her outside.

Important Information Learned:
Edward was able to suck the venom out of Bella and not drink her blood uncontrollably.
