Chapter 1

(Jasper POV)

Aro kept rabbiting on about how Elizabeth was a fantastic and beautiful person and that we are lucky to have her. I didn't want to listen to this nonsense! I needed to find Elizabeth, she must be agonising pain after her battle with the three Death Eaters.

"We know we are very lucky to have her as part of our family. Although we should be going because she did have a three on one battle with three Dark Magic wizards and soul sucking creatures, so she is probably in immense pain. She often hides her pain, trying to make other people her top priority. We shall have to leave to go help her seen as we don't know how extensive her wounds are." Carlisle said, he obviously thought that Elizabeth was badly injured.

The Volturi said their goodbyes and we left, apparating into the main living room, Elizabeth's favourite room in the house.

What we saw rocked my world and shattered it.

Elizabeth was lying on the floor, blood pooled around her still and pale form. Her body was covered in deep cuts, her eyes wide and slightly crazy. That man, Severus was nearby, it was clear he had done what he could to help her.

"I'll leave you to it. Floo me when you need to." He said, his sorrow over whelming his sneer.

I rushed over to her, I didn't care about the blood. I felt no blood lust around her. The others must have because it was just Carlisle, Elizabeth's family, and myself in the room. She was nearly dead, but I could hear a faint heartbeat.

"We have to change her." I mumbled, my emotions were going wild and I could feel the despair of everyone in the room. If I could cry, the entire room would be under water, filled with my tears.

"Jasper, it will be very painful for her and I don't know how the venom will mix with her magic-" Carlisle started to say

"I don't care. I can't lose her." I said, and it was true. If she died, I'd go to the Volturi and beg for death and if they didn't give it to me, I'd break the law and make a scene in front of a large group of humans.

"Okay then, did you want me to turn her or did you want to try?" Carlisle asked, I knew he'd always take my wishes into account when changing my mate. I didn't feel the blood lust, but I didn't want to risk it, I was the newest vegetarian after all.

"You do it. I don't feel the blood lust around her, but I don't want to risk it. We both know how susceptible I am to human blood." I said, taking a hold of Elizabeth's hand. I knew it would do nothing to help her, but the skin to skin contact defiantly helped me. It calmed me to know she was still here, I could feel her faint heartbeat.

Carlisle slowly, or at least it seemed slowly, leant down to bite her neck. I had to try and control my instincts that told me to rip Carlisle into pieces.

I could hear Elizabeth's family crying and sobbing around the room, I knew this must be hard on them and their emotional response were pretty much the same- sad, scared, sorrow, despair…

Carlisle came up from her neck and told me we needed to clean and dress her. It would also be best to have her lying down properly, somewhere with less blood.

Hermione and Luna came forward, offering to do that, knowing what kind of clothes she'd want to wear. I had to say goodbye for a while, but I knew I would see her soon.

(Hermione POV)

I stood back with the others as Carlisle and Jasper changed Elizabeth. I knew it was the only way forward. She was dying and the only way to save her was to change her, but she was still going through a lot of pain.

When Carlisle said about washing and dressing her, I knew it would be a job for Luna and I, we were the girls who had been with Elizabeth the longest.

I got my wand out and levitated her up to her connecting bathroom. We took her worn out and ripped battle suit off. I was difficult as it clung to her body like a second skin. Kind of like a wet wetsuit for a human, but more difficult. We used a cleaning spell, but then gave her a quick was anyway, just to be sure.

After we had cleaned her we wrapped her in a towel and levitated her into her bedroom. We laid her on the bed, she looked like she was sleeping. Usually a person writhes in pain and screams, but it looks like her magic had put her into a coma during the transformation. Interesting.

"Come on, let's find her something nice to wear." Luna said, grabbing my hand and skipping into Elizabeth's wardrobe.

It took us about an hour to find something nice that we thought she'd like. It was perfect. It was a light green, knee-length summer dress. It fitted her well. It was a lining of elastic just under the bust so it helped show off her figure. We brushed her hair, and watched in amazement as her wounds stitched themselves together, repairing.

Once her body was in one piece, we put the dress on her, with matching underwear. She looked amazing. It was a shame she would lose her bright green eyes, but at least the colour still suited her- even if she was a Gryffindor.

(Jasper POV)

The two witches had spent about two hours dressing her upstairs. It was both amazing and worrying that her transformation was so calm. Then venom should have been burning her body up already. I kept wondering if we had done something wrong, but I knew we didn't. It must have been her magic or something.

We had taken her back to our house, far away from the blood that now stained the floor of her house. She was put on a metal table in the back room. I sat by her side, never leaving. I wanted to be there when she woke up. I didn't feed, but she was more important. My family begged me to leave and go hunt, but I wanted to be here when she woke up. I knew it usually took about three day for the transformation to complete, but as Carlisle said earlier, we didn't know the venom would react with her magic. I could be speeded up or slowed down.

It had taken 14 hours for her to finally change. I never left her side and squeezed her hand when she opened her eyes, her bright Green eyes.

A/N: Okay, this is chapter one. I was going to wait a while to start this and post all the chapters in one day like I did the first one, but its Sunday and I may as well start it now. The amount of follows and favourites, and the awesome review left by Padfootette, so here it is!
