Through the nausea and the dizziness I saw something that gave me a sudden final shred of hope. His eyes merely intent before now burned with an uncontrollable need. It was the blood. Spreading across my shirt pooling on the floor his thirst must be raging. He wouldn't be able to torture me much longer now. Let it be quick I thought before the darkness took over.
I floated weightless in the black abyss drifting on the nothingness. No pain reached me here no worry no doubt. It was utterly silent in the darkness. Why did I want to leave this place? I couldn't understand the urge I had to leave but something called me from the quiet. It tugged at me like an anchor pulling me down and I fought against it wanting to stay.
I heard it then, my name spoken with fear. Someone shouting, Edward my angel he was calling out to me. He was apologizing his pain echoing loudly in my quiet place shaking me rippling across my skin. His roar of anger and then a sudden pain as I began to fall, plummeting my stomach churning.
More pain now my arm lighting in the darkness flames of fire licking across my wrist dancing over my skin. I screamed out in pain. "My hand is burning!" My eyes burst open but something red blurred my vision. Why didn't Edward put out the fire? "Stop the fire!" I screamed.
Carlisle spoke and it was then that I understood, "He bit her."
James had bitten me, the fire was his venom. I was turning.
Edwards bellowed, "NO!" ripped across my thoughts.
"Let it happen Edward. It's meant to be I've seen it." Alice prompted him.
"No, I don't want this!" My angel roared.
"Then suck the venom out." Carlisle advised.
Finding the will I forced the words from my burning throat, "Let me change." The pain was excruciating and another scream ripped from me.
"Carlisle, I.." Edward hesitated. "I don't know If I can." I could hear the agony in his voice it tore at my laboring heart and I felt the tears streaming down my cheeks.
"It's your choice Edward. I can't help you I have to stop the bleeding or she will die."
Pain ripped up my leg and I screamed Edward's name. This time when my eyes opened I could see clearer I could see the indecision on Edwards face. And then the sudden determination before his mouth closed over my wrist. His eyes lit with fire and the pain began to recede as I fell silent. The pain lessened and I began to feel heavy, numb.
"Enough Edward, You're killing her."
Those words the last thing I registered as the thick blanket of darkness fell over my mind.
Edward Pov:
From the first bite as my teeth touched her warm soft skin and my tongue lapped the hot wet copper of her blood I was home. This was my Bella here in this exact moment of time this is what I loved what I craved not the girl just the blood. I had resisted for so long loved her as best I could but deep down I think I had always known. I wanted nothing more than I wanted this moment to last forever as I drew deep on her wrist and lost myself to the flavor. It was obvious to me immediately that this was where Bella would die my lips wrapped around her fragile wrist I would savor each drop. Alice met my eyes as I fed, she knew that I would kill her if they didn't stop me.
Bella Pov:
"You are a big fat cheater!" I shouted slamming my fist into the tree and smiling in satisfaction as shards of bark splintered in all directions.
"I am not fat, I am Adonis no man can compare to me as you well know it. But seriously Bella you knew that your newborn strength would wear off eventually. Now you are just another pint sized vampire. " Emmett strutted around his chest puffed out like a peacock. I answered by shooting him a rather un-lady like finger gesture.
"You just wait until she figures out how to control her new powers then you will be back to whining and mopping about how Bella kicked you ass." Jasper teased laughing when I sent a small rock flying across the field to ping off the side of Em's head.
"No fair using your gift. I don't have a power so it shouldn't be allowed."
"All's fair in love in war Emmy." Rose laughed.
Giggles caught our attention and I turned to see Edward chasing Tanya around a large snowball in his hand. "You better not hit me with that!" She hissed before ducking and weaving through the trees. "You can run but you know I'm faster." Edward called after her.
"Are you alright Bella?" Rose asked coming to stand beside me her perfectly manicured hand gripping my own. Things had changed a lot since James had bitten me. Many things, one of the good things though were my new found friendship with Rose.
"I'm fine Rose really." Alice quirked a brow at me questioningly. "Seriously guys I am fine. With a heavy heart I reflected on the last two years. Waking to find myself a vampire. Every bit the mindless blood hungry newborn I had heard about. The Cullen's had taken me under their wings teaching me everything, helping me learn to hunt and control my urge to kill. I could proudly say that I had never tasted human blood although the desire was still there and very hard to resist. Jasper was my biggest supporter as we struggle together keeping one another sane kindred souls in our hungers.
The hardest part had been my anger at Edward. Not at my change, no I had wanted that so badly. Had wanted nothing more than to be turned and live out my forever with my perfect angel. Yes things had changed a lot. That night James had bitten me Edward hadn't been able to resist the call of my blood, and I didn't even blame him for that. How could I when I understood the bloodlust now for myself. Edward had tried to suck out the venom that night but had lost control draining me to the point that when the others finally forced him off me they hadn't thought they would be able to save me.
I traced the scars at my wrist the overlapping crescent shapes of their teeth. . Each of them had bitten me that night, well all but Rose and Esme because they had been in Forks watching out for Charlie. My dad, he still didn't know where I was or what had happened to me. I longed to see him again to explain to make it right somehow.
"Is it still cold?" Alice asked reaching out to touch my mark.
"Yea, I think It will always been cold." I answered honestly.
"I think it's the fact that you were bitten by six different vampires in the exact same spot it's more concentrated there." Jasper chimed in wrapping his arm around my shoulder in a brotherly hug.
"Even with our combined venom we weren't sure that we had stopped Edward in time." Jasper said his eyes lighting with hunger as he remembered the pleasure he had felt when Edward had taken my blood.
"Stop looking at me that way you big creeper, and let's go find something to hunt." I teased him punching his arm as I ran off.
We hunted, we fed, we split up, and now I sat in my room looking into the night. Sleep was a thing of the past, and that left a lot of time for reflection. Tonight it seemed I was lost in the fact that I was forever seventeen young and beautiful. Funny they say careful what you ask for, I guess when I made my wish I should have put something in there about happiness. I wasn't unhappy per say. I just wasn't really happy either. I had lost Edward, but gained forever in the process. Forever as the third wheel in a lot of situations. Alice had Jasper Emmet had Rose Carlisle had Esme, and now it seemed that Edward had Tanya. In all my dreaming I had never seen this possibility.
Turning from the window I thought again on my dad. Wondering how he was, needing to see for myself I logged onto my computer and waited Impatiently for the screen to load. Its funny when I was alive it had seemed to take a long time for things to happen now that I was aware of time so much differently and I moved at such a faster pace I found out I was the world's most impatient vampire.
When the screen finally loaded my chest tightened, the search for my father online had found a photo of myself, or the human me. Missing was written in bold letter Isabella Marie Swan. I read the information and my stomach dropped. Last seen, wearing, height, weight, age, reward, and a number to call with information on my whereabouts. My hand trembled as I drew out my cell phone and dialed the number listed.
As my finger hit the talk button the phone was ripped from my hand Alice having snatched it and pocketed it. "Bella you can't."
I wanted to shout at her to scream, but she was right I couldn't put him in danger. He was going to get past my disappearance in time. He was better off not knowing... right?
"Bella, I know you're hurting and we all wanted to wait to tell you this until we were together but we are planning to go back to Forks."
"What?" My mouth dropped open and I watched the others pile into my room their faces lit with excitement for me.
"I sent word to Aro, as you know he is very fond of you Isabella." I nodded at Carlisle's words thinking back to the time we had spent with the Volturi in Italy after my change. I had grown very close to Jane who I frustrated immensely with my shield, and Aro adored me like his daughter but he also saw me as a powerful weapon. He had helped me learn more about my abilities, and that not only was I a shield I also had the ability to move things with my mind.
"Aro has agreed to allow you to see your father Bella. Only him though, not your mom. He said that it would be up to you to ensure the safety of our kinds secrets but that he trusted your judgment in the matter." I snapped my mouth closed to swallow the dry lump in my throat. The fact that Aro granted this wish to me was beyond a big deal.
"He of course wants you to know there is a price involved. If Aro should ever have need of you for any reason you are to come to him immediately." Carlisle finished in a warning tone. I knew what that meant. If Aro went to war in the future I would be at his side as protection.
It was a huge massive gigantic risk to allow a human to know about our kind. Still, to be able to go home to see my dad and explain to him that I was alive. To have a relationship with my father with him knowing why I never aged. It was more than I had ever hoped for. In all reality I had thought to watch him from afar never to speak to Charlie again.
"When can we leave?" I asked anxiously.
"We are ready when you are. But there is one more thing we need to address." It was Edward who spoke now his arm tight around Tanya.
I watched him step forward and her cling to him his long graceful fingers curving on her hip and my dead heart clenched. A wave of calm touched me and I shot a thankful glance at Jasper.
"Bella I want to bring Tanya back to Forks with me. I neglected her for so long when I thought… Well you already know."
I clenched my fist and slowly uncurled my hand counting to ten. "Of course you would want your mate by your side." I said with much more calm, than I was feeling. "I appreciate the fact that you asked me, but I have no say in regards to you both. I would never wish you unhappiness." It was hard to say the words aloud, but it was true even though I felt hurt and abandoned I wanted him to be happy.
"Thank you Bella for understanding." Tanya said coming close and kissing me on the cheek. I thought snidely to myself about ripping those blonde locks out, as she whispered in my ear. "I hope someday we can actually be friends." Ugh sucker punch to the soul for being so mean to this nice girl. I gave her a genuine smile in return. Before turning to face Esme and Carlisle.
"I want to leave right now. I know it's sudden…"
"Sudden for you maybe." Alice said with a laugh as she pointed to the corner of my room and my packed bags. I shook my head, there were times when she annoyed me with her precognition and others like right now when I was grateful for it.
"The plane is ready. Bella we will be along in a few days, I would like Alice and Jasper to accompany you for support. Please be careful Isabella, don't forget that he is human and this will be a lot for him to deal with." Esme said giving me a quick motherly hug goodbye.
"Thank you all so much. I will see you soon." I promised before picking up my bags and walking through the door to face my past. I hoped deep down that I would be able to find the peace that I had felt lacking. Maybe closure with my dad would allow me to move on from the pain I felt about Edward, and I could learn to be happy again.
OK so there is a taste of what my new story is about. Let me know what you think. My followers are aware that I fun around with a notebook writing all the time whenever an idea hits me. So I do have more written and am still going but I wanted to post a little bit and see what your response are to it before I go any further, also I am going to be looking for a Beta. If you are interested please email me, I'm sure you can tell by reading this chapter that my punctuation is horrid, I am a run on speaker so my spell check says a run on sentence typer as well. Anyhow thank you all for reading and review if you would like to read more.
