TURNED
"Ok. Ok... Right….I'm ready. Let's do this and get it over and done with."
In my mind I was thinking of every reason to back out now, to back out of the terrible and excruciating pain that was about to come. In only a few minutes, my whole body would be filled with a fire burning sensation. For three days I would be in absolute agony which no one could do anything about. I guess this is what you get when wanting to become a vampire. Maybe I should have just listened to Edward and his words of wisdom. Why would I want to become a monster? Well I knew why. I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with my Edward Cullen.
"So this will only take three days maximum right?" I said gazing into Dr. Carlisle Cullen's eyes. Edward was beside me, holding my hand a little bit too tight, which made me feel even more uneasy.
"Yes. It should take no more. Bella, you will be alright. You are in good company. Nothing will go wrong." Carlisle said in his most confident voice.
I felt like a patient in a hospital about to undergo a very challenging and difficult operation – which was what was happening anyway.
I stared into Edward's eyes trying to find that everything would be alright. He gave me my favourite crooked smile.
"Bella," he said, "I love you."
"I love you too."
Edward intensely pressed his icy cold lips against mine. A tear escaped from the corner of my eye. I took in my surroundings for the last time. The last time I would be human that is. We were in the middle of nowhere. All that could be seen were trees and plants. It was a perfect day, blue sky, warm weather, fresh air.
"I'm ready," I lied. Well, I was ready, but the fact that the changing was only a minute away scared the living hell out of me. I thought of Charlie. I told him that I had gone away with the Cullen's on vacation for two weeks. When I came back to gloomy Forks, nothing would ever be the same again.
Edward kissed me once more on the cheek, and then slowly traced my jaw line with his lips, which he then lowered to my neck. Sharp teeth sank into me. I let out a small scream. Alice, who I'd almost forgotten about quickly held my hand. She had been so quiet.
"I'm here. We are all here. Don't worry." She said in her smooth voice.
I quickly drifted into unconsciousness.
When I woke up it had felt like hours. Surely it would have been more painful.
"What's happening? It's been ages and I don't feeling that bad at all?" I said curious.
"Bella," I heard Edwards worried voice "It has only been not even half a minute"
What? I thought. Then the feeling came. It started at my neck and then went straight through my arms and torso, through to my legs and feet. They felt as if I was on fire.
"Argh. Make it stop. Help!" I screamed as loud as my voice box would allow me too. Tears came streaming down my cheeks. The pain was unbearable.
