New Beginnings Chapter 1: The Transformation
It was their prom night and Bella and Edward were dancing outside
"I could have been one of you by now" said Bella.
"I don't want to do that to you" said Edward.
"Think about it Edward, if I was a vampire as well you wouldn't have to protect me all the time, I would be able to protect myself and you wouldn't have to be gentle with me" said Bella.
"You've got a point" said Edward.
"I do?" asked Bella.
Ok, where?" asked Bella with a suprised look on her face. She didn't expect Edward to give in so easily. "My house." replied Edward taking her hand and leading them to the parking lot and into his Volvo. He sped back to the Cullen's house in under 5 minutes. They walked together into the house and into the Living Room where Carlisle and Esme were sitting. Bella blinked and suddenly everyone else came back as everyone was seated, Edward looked around at his family. "Bella has convinced me to change her, but what does everyone else think?" asked Edward.
"Well you already know my vote" said Alice.
"Yes I do, thank you Alice" said Bella.
"Yes" said Jasper.
"Yes, it'll give me someone else to wrestle" said Emmett.
"Are you sure this is what you want Bella?" asked Carlisle.
"Yes more than anything I want to be with Edward and all of you forever" replied Bella.
"Then I vote yes" said Carlisle.
"Me too" said Esme.
Rose sat quietly on the sofa and we all looked at her, waiting for her response.
"Well?" asked Edward after a few moments.
"I just don't think that it's a good idea." She snapped.
"You're human and giving it all up to be this." She said motioning to herself.
"I would give anything to be you right now." She stood up and took a deep breath.
"But it doesn't really matter what I think. So just do what you want." with that, Rosalie ran from the room and we heard her bedroom door slam.
A couple of hours later Rosalie came out of her room and she heard Edward and Bella talking in Edward's room."Edward, I love you more than anything but I don't want to do this without Rose's support" said Bella."I love you too and I understand" said Edward. Rosalie was starting to dry sob hearing this and knocked on Edward's door once she had calmed down. "Come in, Rose" said Edward."Thank you, could I talk to Bella alone for a minute? Please?" asked Rosalie."Of course, I'll be right outside if you need me, Bella." replied Edward as he walked out and closed the door behind him."I'm sorry Bella, I didn't realise how much you and Edward love each other and how much you want to be with him forever. I'm just jealous of your situation. But if you really want to do this, I may not be happy about it but you have my full support. We can still be friends and sisters" said Rosalie."Thank you, Rose!" said Bella as she hugged Rosalie.
A few minutes later Edward came back in
"Great news Edward, Rose has given me her support!" said Bella.
"I know, I'm proud of you Rose" said Edward.
"Thank you" said Rosalie as she left.
"Now Bella, I think you should get some sleep and then eat some breakfast in the morning to keep your strength up for the change" said Edward.
"Good idea" said Bella as she laid down on the couch.
"Go to sleep and I will tell everyone that I'm changing you tomorrow, I'll be back soon" said Edward.
"Ok" said Bella as she fell asleep.
Edward went downstairs and everyone was sitting in the Living Room
"Bella and I have agreed that I will change her tomorrow after she has had her breakfast, I think we should do it in my room" said Edward.
"Where is Bella now?" asked Rosalie.
"She's sleeping, she is exhausted and she needs to get her strength up for tomorrow" replied Edward.
"Good idea" said Carlisle.
"Alice, I want you with me and Bella whilst she is changing so that we know exactly when she will wake up, Emmett and Jasper I want you two there when she wakes up, just in case" said Edward.
"Of course I will" said Alice.
"We'll be there" said Emmett and Jasper.
"I will be there to make sure you do it right" said Carlisle.
"Thank you" replied Edward.
The next morning Bella woke up in Edward's arms
"Morning" said Edward.
"Morning" said Bella.
"Let's get you some breakfast" said Edward.
"Good, I'm starving" said Bella. Edward and Bella made their way to the kitchen where Esme was making some breakfast for Bella.
"Morning Bella" said Esme.
"Morning Esme" said Bella.
"Here you go Bella, eat up you need keep your strength up for the change" said Esme.
"Good idea" replied Bella as she started to eat. After Bella had finished her breakfast, her and Edward went into the living room where everyone was sitting
"Are you ready to be changed Bella?" asked Carlisle.
"Yes I am" replied Bella.
"Let's go upstairs to my room then" said Edward as he and Bella started walking upstairs. Alice and Carlisle followed them up.
When they got upstairs Bella laid down on Edward's couch
"I'm ready" said Bella.
"Ok, take a deep breath" said Carlisle. Bella breathed deeply
"Ok now Edward bite" said Carlisle. Edward bit Bella's neck releasing venom into her system
"Bite her in more places, it will make the change quicker" said Carlisle. Edward obliged and bit Bella's legs and arms
"Good Edward, now comes the wait" said Carlisle.
"Thank you, Carlisle" said Edward holding Bella in his arms.
"We will all go hunting now, but we won't go far" said Carlisle.
"I'll stay here with Edward and Bella, I'll go hunting with them when Bella wakes up" said Alice.
"Ok, good luck" said Carlisle as he went out of the room. The next 36 hours went by with little change but then a few hours later Bella's appearance started to change, her skin was getting paler, she was getting even more beautiful than she already was
"This is going to be a relatively quick change" said Alice.
"How do you mean?" asked Edward.
"I just had a vision, I'm seeing her a lot clearer now, she will wake up in 12 hours" said Alice.
"That's quick, could you go and fetch Carlisle for me please?" asked Edward.
"Sure, I'll be right back" replied Alice.
A few minutes later Alice returned with Carlisle
"What is it Edward? What's wrong? asked Carlisle.
"Alice said Bella will wake up in 12 hours, that's a little quick, isn't it?" asked Edward.
"Not necessarily, I have heard of quick changes before" replied Carlisle.
"That's ok, I was worried that I'd done it wrong" said Edward.
"No you did it perfectly son" said Carlisle.
"Thank you, Carlisle" said Edward.
"I'll go and let everyone know when Bella will be waking up" said Carlisle. Carlisle left the room and Rosalie walked in
"How's she doing?" asked Rosalie.
"She'll be waking up in 12 hours, but the problem is I can tell she is still in pain" said Edward.
"She'll be ok, she knew the change would be painful, she's growing more beautiful already" said Rosalie.
"Thank you, Rose" said Edward. The next 12 hours eventually came to an end, everyone was in Edward's room for the big moment, suddenly Bella's eyes flickered open.
