This is my first, so please don't eat me if it's bad...

Prologue
Edward's POV
Thump...2 seconds passed... Thump... 5 seconds... Thump... 9 seconds...Thump.
As the last beat of her heart ended, I was filled with such pain, I collapsed, every thought but one drowned out by it. Bella. It ran through my head, alone, as my family around me worridly. I wanted to tell them to move, but couldn't find the words. They were blocking my view...
Bella's POV
As the fire increased ten-fold, sweeping through me, my back arched off the table, but I allowed no other part of my body to break rank and betray me. I would not let my pain hurt Edward any more. Finally the pain eased, and I realized it had really only been a few minutes. I was a vampire now. In the next second I heard a voice. Bella. It was familar, but...more somehow. It took me a minute to realize that the voice held part of Edward's voice in it. It was as if some one had taken his beautiful voice, and had added a million more perfection to it. It was so much more and yet it was still his, my Edward's. Which meant he was near. I opened my eyes eagerly.
