Blackness and fire, that were the only things that I knew existed. The ever burning flames were melting my body, turning it into something new. I knew exactly what was going on. I was turning into a vampire. To prevent going crazy from all this pain, I willed my mind to think back to how this happened. I had just visited Jacob, who broke his promise by telling me that we couldn't be friends anymore. When he broke the last piece of my hearth, and the gaping hole in my chest was back, I ran back to my truck and started driving back home. It wasn't long before my sight blurred from my tears. I stopped at the side of the road, clutching my chest and crying.
After about ten minutes, the door of my truck opened. "Leave me alone Jake! You made clear that you didn't want me anymore. No one wants me anymore!" I yelled, without looking up. However, the voice that answered me wasn't the one I expected.
"Welcome to eternal night then." sneered the high pitched voice of Victoria, just before everything turned black. Not long after that the fire started. I knew Victoria had bit me, but why hadn't she killed me instead? Wasn't that her plan all along? I didn't have time to think any longer about that question, because my hearth started to collect the fire in my body, withdrawing it from my limbs but making the pain so much worst in my chest. My hearth started beating like crazy, racing like a train. However, my hearth couldn't keep up with this pace, so it wasn't long before it made its last beat. Ending in a last thump and taking the fire with it.
I slowly opened my eyes, not sure what to expect. I noticed I was lying in a meadow. It wasn't our meadow, but it had the same size. Slowly I took in my surroundings with my new eyes. I was amazed by how much I could actually see. I took a hesitated breath, and was bombarded by all the smells. From the grass and flowers I was lying on, to the small wildlife around me. Combining it with all the sound I heard made me flabbergasted.
Only then I noticed a piece of paper bound to my shoes. I took it carefully, not wanting to destroy it with the new strength I knew I possessed. Opening it, I managed to catch the faint scent of cotton candy mixed with chili peppers. Not really a smell I enjoyed.
I started ready the note:
My dear, dear Isabella,
Hearing that you have nothing left anymore, I decided that there wasn't a greater punishment than to live with it for eternity.
Welcome to eternal night,
Victoria
I noticed that it was written in blood, probably my blood since it had the very faint smell of strawberries and freesia.
At the thought of blood I noticed the faint burn in my throat. Nothing I couldn't handle, but I decided it was smarter not to test my limits and hunt.
Taking a deep breath, I noticed the smell of something warm. It wasn't entirely appetizing, but it would quench my thirst. I sprang up to my feet and started running to the smell. As I neared, I saw a lone deer grazing. Not taking the time to think what I was doing, I launched myself at the deer and sliced its throat with my sharp teeth. I quickly drained it.
My thirst satiated, I started to think on what to do now. I couldn't go back to Charlie. It was way too dangerous with me being a new born vampire, and he would surely notice the changes in my appearance.
Maybe I could find the Cullens. With me being a vampire, maybe I now was good enough for Edward. But I had no idea where to find them. But I remembered something about Alaska. Didn't they have family there? At least I would have a starting point. My decision made, I started to run.
Alaska, here I come.
