A/N: Tonight, this story just popped into my head and I decided to write it down, see if it would go anywhere? I think it is… The chapters won't be long but hopefully this story is updated daily or every other day for your entertainment.
***But I will ONLY continue this story if I get a DECENT amount of REVIEWS. So the continuation of this story fully lies in the hands of its readers.***
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Twilight saga. That belongs to Stephenie Meyer! This story if for non-profit, just for fun!
Chapter One – The Attack
All I remembered was soaring through the woods in my exuberant fast pace chasing down my favorite animal, the mountain lion. We ran over and down hills; I enjoyed playing games every now and again while hunting down my prey, so I allowed the cat to believe that he was escaping the beast that was tracking him down. I let this go on for twenty minutes before my thirst overrode my sinister game and I ran with all my might and caught the mountain lion in thirty seconds. I snapped the cat's neck, lowering my head above its neck. Then I sank my teeth into its jugular vein and began sucking the blood out of its body.
What happened next I did not expect. Even now I could barely remember what happened. I was drinking the blood and suddenly I was grabbed roughly from behind and held in a man's grasp. He waved in front of my face a silver syringe that was filled with a blue liquid. He covered my mouth with his hand as he shoved the needle into my chest right through my shirt. I could recall gasping and wanting to scream but his hand muffled my cries of pain and help. Feeling myself grow limp in his grasp worried me. I felt myself growing tired… tired! In over eighty years never once had I felt tired.
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I heard the anxious voices of my family and was vaguely aware of someone running their hand through my hair. I couldn't find the strength to open my eyes or do anything, so I was content in the peaceful darkness listening to my family converse.
"…has turned human." I heard Carlisle trail off, his voice perplexed.
"How, how is this possible?" My mother murmured. I could hear the concern in her voice.
"Everything I want Edward always gets," I heard Rosalie spat, slamming the door closed behind her.
"She's lucky she didn't wake him," Esme mumbled. I understood why my mind-reading power was currently not working, but knowing my mother, she was probably calculating my sister's punishment in case she had woke me up.
"The results from the samples of venom I took from Edward prove that somebody injected a poison of some type into his body. I still cannot say what that poison is but when it reacted to the venom it changed Edward into a human. He's got blood in him, the exact scent I remember from when he was my patient back in 1918," replied Carlisle.
"So Edward's human…" Emmett drew out the conclusion slowly.
"Yes," answered Alice. "I wish the vision would have happened a few minutes before it had, then maybe we could have prevented that man from hurting Edward."
"You can't control your visions, Alice. This isn't your fault," Carlisle said comfortingly. "Alice, will Jasper be all right around Edward once he's back from hunting?"
As soon as my father voiced the question, alarm bells rang out. If I truly was human and I wasn't just fantasizing this conversation up, then Jasper would be a threat to me. Would he be able to control himself around me? He could barely control himself around Bella who's been around for over a year now.
"It will be difficult but I haven't had any visions of him attacking Edward. I mostly just see Jasper holding his breath for awhile, not breathing. To make it more comfortable, Jasper and I may go on more frequent weekend trips so Jazz can get a break and relax."
Great… Now I was separating my family from each other for the third time and this time around, I wasn't at fault but I still felt guilty as hell. Though Jasper and I were never extremely close and did not have many similarities to bond from; I still loved my brother dearly, and I'd be damned if I was the one to cause him to suffer.
"That would probably be for the best, Alice." My father sighed, and from nearly a century of living with him I could picture him running his hand over his face feeling the bitterness of defeat.
"What are we going to do?"
"I don't know, Esme. Obviously one of us will have to tell Bella about this."
"I will," I heard Alice volunteer without hesitation.
"That's settled. I'll have Emmett and Rosalie go to the grocery store and stack up on lunch meats, dairy products, vegetables, and fruits. Also, Emmett, make sure to pick up toiletry items for Edward and…" My father trailed off. His silk-like voice sounded strained. That was an odd sound, considering vampire voices never usually faltered.
"And what, Carlisle?" questioned my teddy bear of a brother.
"Carlisle, you're a doctor. I can't believe you can't bring yourself to tell Emmett a simple fact." Alice seemed shocked and amused. I wondered what her vision was…
I heard my father exhale a dry chuckle, "I was just going to say that now since Edward's, in all accounts, a seventeen-year-old boy his hormones are going to be raging. And I have no doubt that he and Bella will test the waters now that he will know there's no way he could hurt her. So, Emmett, while you're out, buy your brother some condoms."
I felt my body vibrate as Emmett's hysterical laughter rang throughout the house. I would so have to thank my father for that once I awoke. Was it not bad enough that I was suddenly human, but he felt the need to embarrass me in front of my obnoxious brother?
"Sure thing, Carlisle!" Emmett continued to laugh as I heard him amble out of the room. He was probably on his way to find Rosalie and leave for the local grocery store.
"Alice, when do you see him waking up?" My mother asked. Suddenly I knew who it was stroking my hair… the tender strokes that brought a welcoming cool sensation to my skin… it was Esme.
"Well he's already awake per say. He's conscious but not fully conscious, if you know what I mean?" At that moment I was pretty sure her eyes had turned to Carlisle's. He must have nodded in consent because Alice continued, "Edward heard our entire conversation but he's still not at the point of consciousness to open his eyes yet."
"Honey, is there anything else from the results you got that can help us better understand Edward's predicament?" I smiled inwardly at my mother's unyielding affection.
"I'm sure he's in pain. Transferring from vampire to human in less than three hours… We go through pure hell turning into vampires for three days. I can't even imagine the pain Edward must have gone through and is in having transformed in three hours."
I was confused. I don't remember any pain… But if I was a human why did my throat burn so badly? Humans don't crave blood.
"His screams tore my heart apart," mumbled Esme as her hand now stroked my cheek.
That explained why my throat burned. I screamed during my transformation. But I wonder why I wasn't hurting now? Besides the dull ache that racked by body I truly felt no pain at the present moment.
"Why isn't he moaning or groaning in pain now?"
"Esme, Edward's a human now. Their bodies are able to do miraculous things to shield themselves from pain. His body has probably gone into shock… a healthy sort of shock while he's unconscious. Well half conscious, but what I am saying is that his body has allowed itself to go numb until he is fully alert. I pray that the morphine I've given him will help dull the severity of the pain. But even as a doctor, there's only so much I can do to help prevent the pain."
Carlisle sounded so defeated. I truly did not like that, not at all. My father was a strong man. He wasn't supposed to feel useless. The morphine he gave me must be working. That must be the reason I only feel a dull ache, not full-blown aches. I wanted to wake up and let my family know I was all right, but I didn't have the strength to at the moment. My mind was becoming exhausted and I was aware of the black spots that were overpowering my awareness. I was only now able to pick up a few words of what they were speaking to me. They were asking me to wake up or squeeze their hands, hell even blink, but I just couldn't. I knew I was disappointing them, but at the moment, all I wanted was to fall back into that dark abyss of nothingness and let myself drown in its peacefulness. And that's exactly what I did, before telling myself that the next I came around I would wake up for my family.
Well, is anyone interested in me continuing this? Unless I get a decent amount of reviews, I will discontinue this. But I have much planned for this story that just popped up into my head tonight!
Chapters may or may not be longer than this one. So please don't go asking me to make chapters longer… This story is my layback type of story since I have two major stories: Somebody's Miracle and Breath of Heaven, that I am currently working on.
So REVIEW if you want more! I know I want to write more so I'm CROSSING MY FINGERS for REVIEWS also!!!
Thanks,
