A/N: This begins with Bella and Edward both going out when they are human… I dunno, I might put a prologue in later… Please review! I do not own Twilight… Unfortunately, I can't write nearly as well as Stephanie Meyer.
Bella's POV
Wow. I can't believe I'm walking through the forest with Edward Mason! The leaves crunched under our feet and I stared at the beauty of this meadow once again. Edward brought me here for our five-week anniversary.
"It's beautiful, Edward." I murmured. I looked up at him, and he smiled. "You've only said that, what, one hundred times?" He laughed, tickling me and running off.
"Edward!" I laughed, chasing after him. "Darn you for being on the track team!" I yelled after his retreating form. I sat on the ground, winded.
"There's only one thing that can compare to the meadow," Edward said, walking back over to me and he sat down. "What would that be?" I asked, kissing him on the nose. "You." I felt the heat flushing to my face.
"Not really." I said, looking away. He smiled, packing the remains of our picnic away. "I still don't understand how you could trip and scatter the plates this far away from where we were sitting!" Edward laughed and I cringed, getting up and brushing myself off. Tree roots are my worst enemy. Really. And speaking of tree roots…
"Ouch." I moaned, examining my hands and knees. "What am I going to do with you?" Edward laughed picking me up and gently kissing my knee.
"Feel better now?" He murmured, rubbing his head on my arm. "A bit. But I think I know what will make it feel even better…"
General POV
Alice froze, a vision cloudy in her eyes. Emmet and Jasper continued to paint the house…. Badly. Alice's distress seemed to reach Jasper because he jumped from the height of the latter and was by her side in a flash.
"Everyone! Alice is in trouble! Come quickly!" Jasper yelled franticly. Everyone was around Alice in a flash. Her eyes finally unclouded and she started to shutter dry tears.
"They're coming… They'll ruin everything!" Alice sobbed.
"Alice, what did you see?" Carlisle said calmly. "Alice, it's alright dear." Esme said pulling Alice into her embrace. Alice took a deep breath.
"A coven. They're coming. But they've spotted their pray, in the meadow. My friend, Bella, and her boyfriend are in there. Bella cut her knee; the scent is driving them mad. They'll be killed! We have to help Bella, Carlisle!" Alice whimpered. Carlisle looked grave.
"Alice, where is the meadow?" Carlisle asked urgently. She looked up, fire burning in her eyes. "I'll show you." And they all sprinted off after Alice.
Bella's POV
We looked up at the sky, the sunset pouring many beautiful colors over the trees and clouds. "I love you Edward." I whispered into his chest. He smiled and sat up, pulling me into his lap. "Now do you realize how beautiful you are?" He smiled, the fading sunlight sparkling in his green eyes. I smiled, and looked off into the trees.
"Edward." I whispered. "Yes, love?" He said looking at me curiously. "Do you know who is around us?" He frowned, and froze as he looked around.
"I sure don't know them." He whispered back. There were two people, extremely beautiful people, like Alice and her adopted siblings. But their eyes were a deep burgundy, and they were crouching, like wild animals, ready to attack. One of them laughed.
"I call dibs on the girl," I shivered, fear paralyzing me. "She smells good… Flowery, perhaps?" The man grinned, inhaling deeply. Edward glared and moved in front of me. Suddenly, I was flying through the air, the man I top of me.
"Edward!" I shrieked. My leg cracked and searing pain coursed through my body. Edward let out a muffled yell, and I screamed again. The man was on top of my, inches from my face. He smiled, all his brilliant white teeth showing. He bit my hand, and I screamed, searing pain going through my hand and arm.
"Bella!" Edward yelled. As black started to invade my eyes, I saw Edward on the ground, with that stupid women on his chest, his arm in her mouth. These are extremely weird people.
General POV
They raced through the woods, hearing the startled yells from Bella and Edward. They sped up, spilling into the meadow and knocking the other vampires off Bella and Edward. Carlisle went over to Edward first, taking his vitals. Emmet started to rip up the red head women on top of Edward and Jasper and Alice teamed up on the guy on Bella.
"Bad choice." Jasper whispered into the ear of the other vampire before ripping him into pieces. Esme gathered wood silently, piling it onto the scattered remains of the other vampires. Alice looked at Bella, pushing back her hair, and holding her breath to prevent her thirst from getting to her.
"Bella? Are you ok?" She whispered. Bella's eyes flickered and she moaned. Carlisle sighed. "We're to late. He's already been bitten." Edward started to moan, his whole body shaking. His scream echoed around the trees. "Someone needs to stop him from screaming!" Carlisle said frantically, rushing over to Bella.
"Her leg is broken…" He murmured and then he sighed in disgust. "She's been bit already too." He secured her leg as she started to wail. "Edward!" She shrieked, wiggling around in pain.
"Alice, help me secure her. Then we'll bring them to the house. Emmet, please bring Edward. Esme, could you help me with Bella?" Emmet lifted his friend somberly, his hand clamped over his mouth. Esme lifted Bella onto Carlisle's back gently, and scouted up ahead. Jasper gently held Alice to his chest, and they started running, keeping out for further danger the forest could bring.
Bella's POV
Fire wracked through my veins for three long, endless days. I felt like I was being eaten alive, burning, my flesh peeling away. But on the third day, the pain started to melt away. I became more aware of where I am… Although I had no idea where that would be. But I did see a familiar face.
"Alice? Where are we?" I mumbled, the last of the pain dripping away. "Bella! Wow! I've been worried sick about you! Don't worry, everything will be explained in a minute. We just need to wait for Edward to come round." That reminded me.
"Edward!" I yelled, jumping up to my feet… without stumbling. Something fishy is going on, I can tell. "Alice…" I said, and she laughed. "As I said, we'll explain every thing in a minute. She ran up the stairs, going by in a flash of impossible speed. I blinked, rubbing my eyes, when I noticed someone at the far side of the room.
"Edward, I said gleefully, running over to him with the same ghastly speed as Alice. "Wow." I murmured. Edward was now pale as a daisy, his features more perfect then before, if that was even possible. He even smelled good. I leaned over, gently pecking him on the lips. Just then, his eyes flickered open, and I felt him smile under my lips. His eyes were pitch black. Do mine look like that too?
"Bella." He murmured, stroking my cheek. "What happened to us?" I sighed, looking out the large window in the room. "Let's go upstairs… They said they would explain everything. I'll race you up there." I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively and he laughed. We raced up the stairs at our unusual speed, and stopped, seeing all the people situated on the couch. I waited for the heat to rush to rush to my face… but it didn't. That's weird.
"Edward, Bella, please come sit over here." Said a man that I recognized to be Dr. Cullen. I've been to the emergency room a couple of times. I looked over at Edward, who was clutching his hands to his head. "What's wrong?" I asked, concerned. "Everyone… Please stop talking! It's so loud!" He said. "Edward, no one s talking." I said gently, worried. Dr. Cullen looked puzzled.
"Edward, what are we saying? What do you hear?" Edward dropped his hands and looked at Dr. Cullen. "You're all saying how you hope we're ok… Except someone is talking about someone named Rosalie, and I don't want to hear anymore of that!" Edward said, putting his fingers into his ears.
"Emmet, maybe you should go into the other room." Dr. Cullen said, trying not to laugh. The big, muscley man got up, looking sheepish and walked to the other room. "Thank you." Edward sighed, plopping onto the couch, and pulling me onto his lap. "So, is anyone going to tell us what's happened?" I asked. Dr. Cullen smiled.
"Let's start with names. I'm Carlisle, Bella you know Alice, this is my wife, Esme, Jasper and Rosalie are over there and Emmet just left." I nodded, amazed at how similar they all looked. "You see, when those people bit you, venom got into your system, which resulted in you-" "Becoming like this." I finished. He smiled "Yes. But you see, they weren't normal people… They were vampires."
