"Are you sure you're going to be alright? I don't need to hunt. I can always stay here with you."
He looked at me with those eyes that melted my heart in an instant.
"No Edward, because, you see, I have a feeling, that in the next…5-6 hours or so, the Volturi are going to come to Forks to see if you have changed me into a vampire." My words were coated in heavy sarcasm as I beamed at him. His face never failed to leave me breathless.
His eyes became colder as the thought sunk in. He was picturing it…I knew it.
"Bella, that is not funny. And besides..." his face turned into a mocking smile, "I already had Alice check on that. They won't be coming for a while"
I groaned.
He grabbed my face to make sure I looked into his eyes. I had to focus on breathing.
"Seriously Bella, are you sure you are ok?" His face was covered in a mask of worry.
I smiled as I touched his hands on my face. "Edward, must we go through this every time?! I will be fine! Now go. Go kill those mountain lions!" I laughed.
He laughed and kissed me very softly on my lips.
"Oh and by the way," he started with that mischievous grin, "Alice will be over to watch you shortly."
My mouth opened in need to protest, but he was out the door before I could say anything. All that was left of him was the subtle laugh that as now a faint echo. I was fuming.
Within a matter of minutes, Alice was honking the horn of Edward's silver Volvo outside of my house.
"Bella, come on! Rosalie and I have many things planned!"
I could hear her silvery laugh from inside.
Oh God. This was going to be a long day.
We got to the Cullen's house in less than 5 minutes.
Rosalie was in the door frame waiting for is. "Come on Bella! Let's go to our bathroom. You know the drill." She added with a devilish grin.
I muttered to myself about Edward's over-protectiveness as Rosalie and Alice pulled me up the stairs. The pushed me into a seat in their enormous bathroom and started combing my hair and applying massive (at least to me) amounts of foundation.
That is all I remember before my being started to spin out of control. My head started to throb as I began to feel unrealistically dizzy. It was like I was in a dream. My whole body started to shake as my stomach did flips in my body. I started to break into a cold sweat and I wanted to throw up.
"Oh come on Bella! Be mature! You've been through this so many times already. Get over it! I heard Alice yell.
That was all I heard before my eyes shut from the building pressure that seemed to be coming from behind them.It felt like hours….or maybe it was minutes. I have no idea.Now my body felt like it was acting on its own. I felt like I was running. Maybe I am running. My eyes slowly opened. Ahead of me I saw Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper running at vampire speed in some random forest outside of Forks. Am I dreaming?
I looked down at my feet to see what was causing the air to whip my face. I was running! Not just running, but soaring! It was like I was going at vampire speed as well….
But…those aren't my legs…
I pulled my arms in front of me. Why were they a pale lavender color?
I stopped running. This had to be a dream.
I pinched myself for a lack of better things to do in these situations.
No. this definitely wasn't a dream.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?" I screamed. Carlisle was the closest to me. He stopped at the sound of the scream.
Except, I knew that wasn't me that was screaming. That was Edward. I looked around me.
Edward was nowhere to be found.
But….
That's when it hit me.
The speed, the skin color, the pungent smell of blood…..I was Edward!
And that's when I started screaming again.
