Immortal

I watched him until he was gone, watching him twist and turn through the vines and overgrown grass.

My heart was beating faster and faster, my legs were giving way. I wouldn't let him get away. Never again.

Victoria's bloody head sat inches from my feet. The wolves snarled and ripped at the few remaining vampires. The rest of the Cullens were all looking at a pathetic-looking newborn vampire - a girl, from the looks of it.

I looked at the love of my life as he burnt Victoria's body to absolutely nothing.

''Please Bella.'' he whispered.

''No.'' I said, glaring at him, my heart still thudding hard in my chest,'' You killed her.''

''What was I meant to do?'' he suddenly snarled, glaring back at me,'' She would've killed you, Isabella Swan!''

I know, I know, I was acting insane. I should have been relieved Victoria was gone forever. But I wasn't.

I sucked in my breath, the fire on my arm growing and growing where she'd injected her fangs into me.

It had all started when I'd – very stupidly – stabbed myself in my arm.

A while later, good, old Vicky had gone at lighting-speed and bit into my wrist, right on the spot where her lover-boy, James, had already bitten me a while ago.

Nobody had seen, thank God. Why, you're thinking. Why, Bella, why?

The answer; I'm finally going to become immortal.

Edward would never, ever allow me to be like him. Well, I would be- and hopefully very soon.

The pain made my body go numb...Victoria... now that she was dead and totally destroyed, how would I ever be able to thank her for this wonderfully amazing power.

My whole body was aching as I walked with Edward to our beautiful meadow.

Edward grasped my hand and pulled me down with him, onto the soft, sweet-scented grass.

''Isabella Swan.'' he said.

''Yes?'' I said, overwhelmed with excitement.

''Will you...'' he paused.

''Go on!'' I hissed, grinning wildly.

Edward chuckled and grinned back.

''Will you marry me?''

I gasped and clutched at the ground, clawing up the soil and weeds. The pain was unbearable but oh-so-breathtaking.

''Bella!'' exclaimed Edward, staring at my sleeve.

I felt terribly nauseous as purple slime drooled down my hand.

I screamed as the whole world started spinning.

''HELP ME!'' I screeched, before blacking out completely.
