Edward's POV
I looked into Bella's eyes which were wide. We all knew what was coming, she tried to smile encouragingly. I admired her bravery; a transformation is not an easy thing.
"Are you ready?" I asked and she nodded. I reached for her hand and she stretched it out. I took it and pulled her towards me. She didn't resist, instead she let her body go limp like a rag doll. I cradled her in my arms and rested my lips on her neck. I felt her body stiffen slightly. I slowly pulled back my lips so my teeth were resting against her skin. She shivered. I was hesitant; she was going to be a vampire, I wanted that. But still I didn't want her to go through that kind of pain, the fire in your veins. I finally decided that she was strong enough to handle it so I bit down, gently. Her blood was so sweet, tasted so good. I wanted it so badly, but I remembered my purpose so I let the venom penetrate. I pulled back to look at her. Her eyes were wild and glazed and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, plastering her hair to her forehead. She started trembling uncontrollably. She clamped her lips together and I knew she was trying to hold back the screams of pain. Keeping her cradled in my arms, I leaned down and whispered in her ear,
"Let it out, Bella." Despite her pain, she nodded. She screamed. I shut my eyes and braced myself for her next scream. She screamed and the she started gasping. She shut her eyes and tried to relax. All I did was prepare myself for living in Hell for three entire days.
A few days later
During the last few days I never left Bella's side. Never eating, never feeding, I kept her cradled there in my arms. During the last few days you could see the gradual changes in her. Her skin turned from ivory to white, her eyes from warm brown to a bright, vigilant red and her skin from warm temperatures to cold temperatures. Her skin was icy and cold. Right now, I could tell that the pain was slowly subsiding. After a few more hours the pain had gone. Her hands, weak, clung onto me and I held her tight, burying my face in her hair. We sat silently and I was thinking when she said,
"It seems that I have inherited your gift, the ability to hear peoples' thoughts." I stared at her in shock. Then a smile spread across my face. She smiled back; I scooped her up into my arms and carried her into our bedroom. Yes, we're married. I laid her down on the bed and sat down beside her, stroking her hair.
One decade later
We have been forced to go to school AGAIN. We have to go to Blue Oak High School. So this morning, everyone is in a hectic frenzy to get ready for school, Alice, Bella, Jasper and me. Bella was dressed in that dark blue blouse I loved and black jeans. And she was combing her hair when Alice burst into the room.
"Hurry up Bella! We're going to be late!" Bella nodded and set down the comb. All three of us went downstairs where Jasper was waiting. We all ignored breakfast. Naturally, we're all vampires, we don't need to eat. And might I add that my Bella has already perfected her self-control. I am so proud of her but maybe her disgust of blood makes it easier. Anyways, we all walked to the silver Volvo and slipped into the car. Me driving, Bella in the passenger seat in front and Alice and Jasper in the back. I turned up the music and started driving to school, ignoring all speed limits.
