Preface
My life is wonderful, I am with Edward and my beautiful daughter Rensemee. She is happy and safe with my best friend Jacob. I don't know how everything got so amazing. There is one problem though. Charlie. How to tell him about me as a vampire. What would my new family come up with to get me out of his life?
So far they had just told him I went missing, but that wouldn't do. Charlie was still convicted I was still alive. I will miss him so much, but I had to make sacrifices for him. To keep him safe.
What to do?
Night time came. Another night for me as a vampire. What would I do? I thought while sitting on the bed in my husband-Edward, my daughter- Rensemee and my, little cottage ."Come on my darling" a float voice came from just outside the bed room wall. "It's time I show you what us Cullen's –now including you - do at night."
I stood up and walked to Edward. He and the rest of my family were all waiting outside for me. " Rensemee isn't here" I noted. "Don't worry dear. She is safe with Jacob at Charlie's house. What we are going to do isn't really for her" Edward answered. I nodded and followed them all into the woods. It was dark and everything seemed to sound a lot louder and appeared closer. This must be a vampire sense I decided. I looked up and noticed Edward staring at me with a smile. "I know, the senses take a while to getting use to ". I smiled and took his hand which was exactly the same temperature as mine.
Emmett appeared next to me with a sparkle in his eye. "Hi", "hello Bella", he replied, "So has Edward told you where we are going yet?" "No, not yet. Can you please give me a hint or something...?" I asked. My big brother looked at Edward, He smiled but then shook his head. "Nope, sorry Bella. Edward doesn't want me to spoil it for you." I groaned. Edward bent down and kissed me, his pale white lips softly against mine. I felt comforted and safe. I knew I shouldn't need to feel safe, I could defend myself now, but still, having Edward at my side made me feel wonderful.
Suddenly a strong sent rushes up my nostrils. I pulled back from Edwards face. Everyone had now turned to look at me. They couldn't smell it yet I realised. The sent was familiar yet strange. I couldn't work it out. Alice gasped with fright with what she just saw in her visions. Edward could also now smell it. "What is it, what's that smell?" I managed to get out of my dry throat. All of the Cullen's faces were now back on me. All with fright. I stared into Edwards's eyes, that's are when I realised what it was. The smell of a human, one I knew. "Angela" I choked out. "Yes" Edward replied silently. "She's here in the woods, and she's hurt herself". My face filled with shock and resentfulness. What could I do? I couldn't hurt my best friend. I looked up into Edward's eyes. " I can't hurt her. She is –well was- one of my best friends." Carlisle came up to Edward and I. "Bella, we need your help then, because you are newborn you can smell things better than any of us. We need you to tell us how far away she is and how badly she is hurt."
I understood. I need to concentrate on that smell and nothing else. I closed my eyes with difficulty and sniffed. The sent was amazing. Like honey freshly made. Then I got the distances. I opened my eyes, and said to Carlisle " she's only 5 miles away and she's only got a little cut on her leg." I started to shake. My whole body was pulling me to go and get the blood. But I had to resist.
My mind was confused, I fell to the floor shaking even more vibrantly than before. I tensed all of my body to stay where I was. Not go running after my best friend to kill her. I tightened my eyes even more and tried to block off all smells around me. Everyone rushed to my side. Edward came closer but I heard Carlisle say "be careful Edward, she's only newborn remember. You might not want to go so close." With this, Edward listened and backed off a bit. My eyes flew open and I stared into the direction of Angela. All of my family now back off even more. I could feel all of my muscles tenses up. I could only think of one way that I might escape this. I had to cut off my smell sense. The only way that I may be able to do with was to make my shield wrap even more tightly around my whole body. That way I won't be able to smell anything. I put all of my energy I had left into my shield. It might not work, but I had to try I pushed it out over my body and tightened it. I was still looking straight head, all of the Cullen's dead still.
My shield worked, but as it did my whole face body tightened. "What's happening to her?" I heard Edward ask anxiously. " I don't know, I've never seen anything like it" Carlisle replied just as anxious as Edward had. I put full concentration back into my shield protecting me from attacking Angela. My smell, touch, sight, taste and hear suddenly cut off altogether. I was blinded of everything. My body couldn't take it anymore I looked up into the direction of Edward's eyes. That was the last thing I saw...
