She stirred. Finally her eyes opened, I could see the ocean in her deep blue eyes. Crystal clear.
"Where am I,"she asked in a delicate soprano voice.
"General Hospital," I answered her.
"Who are you?"
"My name isn't important, but I'll tell wewe that my first name is Edward."
"Why am I here?"
"I found wewe nearly beaten to death in alley. I brought wewe here. Your right radius is broken in three places, but I think you'll be able to go nyumbani soon."
"Are wewe an angel?"
"Hardly," I couldn't let these words get to me, couldn't let them remind me of the one I lost.
"You're very handsome, and you're eyes are the most beautiful color of gold. Why did wewe stay. I mean, not to be rude, but wewe didn't have to stay with me."
"I wanted to. I wanted to make sure wewe were okay, I couldn't leave wewe like I found you. wewe looked so broken and fragile." Not to mention the way I feel, like there's some magnetic pull, like you're the center of the universe and I'm being pulled toward your gravitational center. I looked away from her penetrating eyes.
"Can wewe give me a number to call," I asked but she just looked at me like I was crazy and I reheard what I just asked and knew it sounded like a pick-up line,"so I can call your closet relative so they know you're in the hospital."
She looked down,"I don't have a closest relative. I'm an orphan and I don't have foster parents anymore."
"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize. I'm sorry."
"Don't be, the reason I was in the alley was because of them. My parents were druggies and both of them overdosed when I was 13. The stupid idiots. They owed some powerful drug-lord thousands of dollars and now I have to pay for it. The drug-lord is making me literally pay $956,247 for all the drugs my parents aliiba from him. But there is no way I can afford that.
"That was why I was in the alleyway. I was talking with one of his croonies, giving him some of what my parents owed, but he wasn't just after the money, he kept hitting on me, but I turned him down and that is when he started beating me."
"I'm so sorry, I should've gotten there faster, I could've. I heard your scream, but I just walked, I didn't run."
"Don't worry about it, at least I'm okay."
Just then the doctor walked into the room.
"You're awake, well let me check your vitals and we'll see how much longer wewe have to stay here."
"Cool."
I sat as still as a statue, waiting for the doctor to finish.
"Looks like wewe should be able to go nyumbani tomorrow. I'll be back later tonight to check on wewe again."
I exhaled in relief, I didn't realize I was holding my breath. I read what the doctor was thinking and growled. I couldn't believe he could think like that about a girl that was a quarter of his age. I glared at him.
He just looked at me like I was crazy.
"Are wewe her boyfriend," the doctor asked. From my peripherals I saw her blush.
"No, I'm just a friend."
He looked from her to me and then walked swiftly out of the room.
"Do wewe want me to stay," I asked her.
"You don't have to if wewe don't want to."
Then the nurse walked in with zaidi pain meds. She injected them into her tubes. Then walked back out without a sekunde glance.
She started to fall asleep. Her last thought was of me.
"Where am I,"she asked in a delicate soprano voice.
"General Hospital," I answered her.
"Who are you?"
"My name isn't important, but I'll tell wewe that my first name is Edward."

According to Twilighters Italia & Lion Lamb:
New Moon will not be shot in Volterra but in Montepulciano
Despite advertisements, anticipations and every kind of proposal from the major and the township, New Moon will be shot in Montepulciano because the locations are "more beautiful for the movie" than Volterra."
And, they were nice enough to post pictures of possible locations in Montepulciano. Although the movie may not be filmed in Volterra, these locations look accurate to the descriptions in the book.
