**Thanks to Chattgirl4 who gives awesome advice, and PTB for their phenomenal betas!

**Please Review. This is my first fanfic and all helpful comments are appreciated!

**Twilight = Stephenie Meyer. Twilight ≠ Me.

**Very special thanks to Solar Eclipses, who encouraged me to write and inspired me with her own fantastic stories,
Sins of the Piano Man and Lovers in Disguise.
She's an amazing author and a friend.
If you aren't reading her work, you really should be! **

I froze when I entered the great room. Panic started to swell in my chest - I needed to find my voice quickly. My heart pounded, and I hoped to God I could silence the panic attack coming, just this once.

Take just a few more steps, Bella.

I stood in the middle of the great room surrounded by the five vampires I'd traveled so far to see.

"I know it's a lot to ask, and I'm sorry that I have to ask you, but I've run out of options." I shifted my weight from one leg to the other. "For as long as I can remember, I've always felt out of place. Then Edward found me, and I finally fit in somewhere."

The speech I'd practiced all the way here went out the window. "What I feel for Edward goes far beyond love. I know I'm meant to be more – that we're meant to be more. He says that while I live, he will live, and when I die, he will die. That simply can not happen." The words tumbled out of me in a rush. I shifted my weight back and forth. For the first time, I realized that it was freezing cold in the house. Was that why my insides shook?

"Please, please consider changing me! I can't go on like this, and I don't have anyone else to ask!" I lowered myself to begging. Whether it was because of the lack of sleep or the now-or-never feeling that was stuck in my stomach, I didn't care.

The five of them stood perfectly still. No one spoke. Only I breathed.

"I will consider your request, young one."
