Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, own the Twilight Saga. Stephenie Meyer does. I'm just messing with a background story in her book that she didn't go into much detail with.

Prologue: Decision

I had promised to keep her safe. My coven had vowed that she would remain untouchable until I decided to change her and keep her by my side forever. I wasn't ready to think about that yet. I needed time to think about this life altering choice, but time had evaded me.

The things that led me to this empty, abandoned ward weren't pleasant. Ever since I met her, the girl who turned my world upside down, I was fighting fate. She should have died when I first entered the room and was overcome by her mouth-watering aroma, but somehow I managed to control myself. I thought that everything would get easier once I was used to her scent, but as fate would have it, that was not so, and others would be just as tempted as me.

A whimper sounded behind me, and I turned to see my human curled into the fetal position, her eyes glazed over as she watched a future scene play out in her head. Subconsciously I wondered if her visions would be less uncomfortable if she was a vampire. The thought went as quickly as it had come, and I knelt by her, placing my ice-cold hand on her damp forehead.

"What do you see?" I asked gently, as I was supposed to do whenever she had a vision. Her hazel eyes slowly shifted back to normal, allowing me to know that she was back in the present.

"He's… he's here," she whispered hoarsely. A jolt of fear passed through me. If he was here, then I was alone in defending my angel.

My coven was supposed to be here by now! They were supposed to help me protect my mate! The monster inside me yelled furiously. They weren't here yet, though, and I was defenseless.

I was forced to make my decision now: let my venom poison her system, making her immortal and protecting her fully, and attempt to fight him off, or distract him while waiting for my family and hoping they get here fast enough. I had to make my final decision as a feral growl rippled through the room, and I spun around to see the dark red eyes of the thirsty hunter, as he slid into a crouch, preparing for the kill.

A/N: So this was just a random idea that popped in my head. I haven't read any other stories that have Bella taking on the "doctor" role in Alice's human years, so I decided to do that, but make it in present times. I'd like you to know that I'm not sure what Bella's decision will be yet. She might change her, she might not. We'll see. So, this may have a different ending than Alice's original story.

Also, this is a prologue like Stephenie Meyer does with the whole glimpse of future occurrences thing, just so ya know.

Like it? Hate it? I'd like to know, so obviously reviews would be appreciated. If I get a good response I'll continue messing with this idea.

Thanks for reading! :)
