A/N: Alrighty everyone. This is going to be ongoing short stories for approx. the next twenty days. What I've decided to do is write a quick little story using the Breaking Dawn Quote of the Day. They are NOT my theories on what I think will happen, they will just be in a story. So, without further ado, (drum roll) The first BDQ

A basement. Somewhere in the Cullen's house that was new to me. It was much different than the rest. Not bright and open, nor inviting. The basement was mostly stone, columns of cement holding up the ceiling, it as well, made of cement. With Edward leading us down a hallway to a door, I clung close while looking in all directions. Alice, who was behind me, kept up at an unusual pace. We got to the door which was made of some sort of metal I had never seen before. Edward turned the long handle downward and proceeded in.

I was about to lose something, not a material item, but my mortality. Odd, it seems, not a lot of people get to lose something as precious as that. Yet, I was more happy to lose mine than anyone would ever know. I entered the room to see that that it was pretty much empty except for a table in the middle. I stared closely at the table, then to Edward.

"It's scary I know, you don't have to go through with this. It's like is like a bottomless pit of emotion and I'm scared myself. For you, and for Alice and for the rest of my family." Edward said. "I think I'm ready and I think you are as well, but Bella, I love you so much. I know this is going to hurt, but I'm going to do the best I can to stop the pain faster." He walked toward me with a smile that made me weak. I embraced his hug and kissed his cheek.

"I am in love you so much, and I know you'll do everything you can," I said and he pulled me tighter up against his body. I breathed him in. Edward picked me up weightlessly and set me sitting down on the table. Edward backed away, and stood silent.

"Bella," Alice sighed, "you are going to be fine and we'll do everything we can. I love you like the sister I never had. When this is over, this will make us both stronger. Both mentally and physically. So please, if there is any doubt in your mind… get rid of it because you have to trust us." Her smile comforted me as she bored into my eyes.

"I know," was my only reply.

I lied down on the table looking to the lights above. They were very bright and I squinted. The door opened and I peered over to who it was. Emmett and Jasper poured into the room. They stood beside Edward who started talking to them fast enough that I couldn't hear. Soon, that would change.

"Good luck, Edward," Emmett said, as he took his steps toward me. He made his way to the top of the bed where my head was. He looked down and grinned "How are you feeling?" he asked. I smiled back, at least I could see now that he was covering the lights.

"Quite alright, considering I'm about to die." Emmett's smile disappeared, as did mine. "Maybe that wasn't the right way to put it."

Emmett let out an internal laugh. I closed my eyes and he put his hands on my shoulders. I couldn't move from my midsection up.

Jasper stood at my feet and looked up through his blond hair.

"Ready?" He asked.

I made a head motion which most likely resembled a nod as he grabbed my feet. I realized I was ticklish but I couldn't move my feet from his grasp. Edward moved into the left side, Alice on the right.

"This is it," I heard Edward say in a low whisper. The room was silent and still. All my muscles tensed up and my breathing heavily increased. Edward grabbed one of my hands and held it at his side. I clenched my teeth together waiting for the worst. I remembered the burning sensation when James had bitten my hand, I could almost feel the tears welling.

Edward grabbed my other hand and pulled it upward, probably to his mouth. I closed my eyes as hard as I could, waiting. And then, they both fell. The pressure on my shoulders and feet were gone as well. I opened my eyes to see Edward backing away and Emmett and Jasper with emotionless looks on their faces.

"I can't do it!" Edward screamed. "I can't do this. Your too precious." He shook his heard furiously and hit the wall. It cracked a bit.

"Edward…my voice trailed off. "It's ok."

I looked around the room, to Alice. She stood there, thinking. She opened her mouth to speak.

"I don't think you are going to do this, Edward," she said, pointing to her head.

Edward shook his head, obviously more calm than he was a second ago.

"What am I supposed to do?" He asked Alice, but he was looking at me.

Everyone thought for a while and no one said anything. Finally, Alice looked up with a smile.

"I know you want to change Bella, and you also don't want to change her…So, I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."

"You want to decide who will change Bella into a vampire over a game of rock, paper, scissors? Edward said, pure disgust echoing from his voice. He looked at Alice, then to me, then back to Alice. "Why you don't you just tell me who wins?" He said.

Alice's eyes widened "I do. Excellent."

My life had come down to a mental game of rock, paper, scissors. Alice won. This was a scary thought all itself. Though I wanted Edward to change me. I saw his usability, and decided that Alice would be able to do this. It was back to the table. I felt my shoulders and legs being held down again. Edward held my hand as Alice reached for my wrist.

"Your going to be fine," Alice assured me as her teeth gladly sunk into my veins.
