Chapter One

BPOV

As the taxi rounded the corner, I saw it. The ballet studio, but it looked different somehow. Probably because the lights were out and everything looked much smaller than it had when I was little. Also, it wasn't my mom that would be helping me; it was me that was helping her. I had spent the whole rid here preparing how to save my mother from the sadistic vampire.

A voice distracted me from my thoughts. It was the taxi driver, "Hey, lady. Are you gonna pay me, or what? You owe me 20 for making me drive all the damn way here." Someone's a little grumpy I thought. I took my wallet out of my back pocket and handed the driver a twenty. As I looked back to the ballet studio I saw him. James was at the window his finder raised, motioning me to come forward, to him. And Renee, I quickly added.

I said thanks to the driver, Ted was his name, and he nodded his head quickly, telling me to get out or it would cost me extra. I got out and shut the dorr behind me. I slowly walked over to the door but it was already open. James stood in the dorr frame, ushering me to come in with his whole hand this time. I stepped forward and went into the studio. "Bella, how nice to see you again. Sorry it's on such horrid circumstances." His voice was rather sexy, but was nothing compared to Edward's angelic choir.

"Where is my mom? I want to see her now. Take me to her." But before he actually stared to walk he said, "Your mother? She's still in Florida with her nice husband, Phil, is his name right?" How did he know? But that, I needed to worry about until later. Now, I need to know why the heck he said Renee was still in Florida.

"What do you mean, she's still in Florida with Phil? You said on the phone that she was here!" I suddenly realized I was screaming.

Why would he lie to me? Reality came crashing down on me and I began to run, but he was too quick for me. He knocked me off my feet and I did a full flip in the air, landing on my legs rather hard. My knees buckled as he came up to me to anser my question. "Oh, is that what I said? Well, I guess I lied." He smiled as he kicked my leg and broke it. I screamed and he laughed.

"Now, now, Bella. We don't want anyone to come investigate, now do we?" His hand flung to my mouth and I thrust my hand trying to cover my mouth.

It was no use though, because he just grabbed it and saw the cut I had gotten a few minutes before from getting a money cut. His mouth started watering with venom. I tried to yank my hand out of his grasp but it just hurt every time I tried. This time, I yanked so hard that I winced from pain. James once again smiled and laughed. How evil can this vampire get, I thought.

Suddenly, there was a crashing from behind as I saw Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Edward, and Emmet come through the wall. James hissed at them and he said, "I have to do it quickly!" What the hell did that mean? Did he mean kill me quickly? I braced my self for the final blow, the blow that would kill me. But it never came. All I felt was his teeth crushing the skin on my hand as he bit me. If getting bitten by a vampire was this bad, I thought, why doesn't Edward just do it now? What's he so scared about? Then, I felt it. In my hand was this burning sensation. Now it was spreading to the rest of my hand, now to my arm.

I heard Edward next to me saying, "Carlisle, I can't do it. Why can't you do it?" I didn't hear his reply because fuzziness had come over my senses, making my hearing fuzzy too. Now, the fire had spread throughout my entire arm and was spreading through the rest of my body quickly. I wanted it to stop. "Edward, it burns! Make it stop! Edward! The fire!"

He kept saying, "It'll be alright, Bella. It'll go away soon." I could hear the hurt and pain in his voice, which I could barley hear at all. Then, a sudden darkness consumed me and, I felt all of my limbs collapse ad my body was still. The burning stopped for a while but then, it picked up but it was even more painful than before. It just going on like this and after a while my senses were coming back and I heard Carlisle tell someone that they had to move me because there were classes in here in the morning.

Finally, the burning stopped and I mumbled Edward's name. "Carlisle, will she hear me if I speak to her?" I think he nodded because he replied saying, "Is the burning gone, Bella? I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's my fault; I'll never forgive myself. I'm so stupid, and I'm a coward."

Now, I could feel my energy and strength returning to me quickly and now I could sit up. We were still in the ballet studio, but everything was so much clearer than before. Is this what it was like to be a vampire? I reached my hands out for Edward but he wasn't there. Had I still missed him leave, even with theses eyes? Suddenly he was behind me. "Let's go home, Bella" that was ll I heard before I was on his back soaring through the streets of Phoenix.

A/N: Sorry it's such a long chapter but I had to get everything that happened at the ballet studio in.

I'll update tomorrow or the next day. Thanks! :)
