Bella's Point of View

As I lay there motionless, the pain seared through my body. Heat. Burning. Fire. It began in my hand and coursed it's way through my veins, spreading fast, as the adrenaline in my body caused my heart to beat faster and faster. I couldn't stop it. I knew that it could not be stopped. I had a vague understanding of what was happening around me- Carlisle crouched beside me, opening a black doctor's bag. Edward, holding my hand with the most painful expression on his face. Commotion further away but still in the same room. I could hear tearing and growling. I knew what was happening. I knew what was happening to James, the vampire that had done this too me. I knew what was happening to me and that made it even worse. Not because I didn't want it to happen. I did. I knew very early on that I wanted to spend forever with Edward, but I wasn't ready yet. I hadn't finished school- where could I go? Surely as a newborn I could not continue high school with hundreds of available human surrounding me. I hadn't said good bye to Charlie, Renee or any of my friends. Would I have to leave now and never see them again? Would I have to pretend I was dead? And worst of all, I had not said Goodbye to Edward. I knew I would see him again... But I wanted one last human kiss, One last embrace in the cold arms of my vampire boyfriend. I hated being clumsy and weak, but I enjoyed Edward looking after me- to some extent. He could be very over protective, maybe even controlling, but his strength and my fragility was a defining factor in the dynamics of our relationship. How would it change when I too became as strong as he did? A few emotions filtered through my body. I was so angry. Betrayed. I was grieving- not for myself, not for my life, or my family, but for what I had lost- the chance for the man I loved -not a crazed tracker vampire with a grudge- to change me.

These thoughts pulsed through my head at what felt like a million miles an hour. My face was scrunching up and my body was convulsing against my will. My limbs had a mind of their own as I flailed around. I was sure that I was being stabbed repeatedly by a sharp knife. I thought I would die. I thought that maybe Edward had been too late. I thought that James was successful in his plight to kill me. I was convinced that there was too much of his venom in my blood and that this was the end. But I also thought that maybe I was hoping this were the truth. The pain was unbearable- could I really put up with this for 3 days? I was weak, clumsy little Bella... I had been stupid and gotten myself into this mess. I couldn't make it through this.

I felt the cool hard embrace of Alice as she rested my head on her lap. She was sitting behind me, holding my neck against her knee in what must have been intended as a restraint. I opened my eyes to Edward's Face. I could read so many emotions on him, Fear, Anger, Regret, Sorrow, Pain, Shock.

"Bella, my love. Oh God Bella. Bella..." He cried. His words spoke with an air of tragedy behind them. He knew what I was going through right now, and I knew how much this was killing him.

I tried with all my might to muster up a reply, something to express to him that everything would be okay. That I would get through this, and that I loved him with all my being. "Edward..." I whispered. It was all I could say before I was interrupeted by one single shrill, ear-piercing scream. At first I thought it was Alice who was screaming- was James back for round two?-only her voice could reach such a high pitched level. But when she reached her arm around and muffled the sound by putting her hand over my mouth, I realised it was me. I broke out into pathetic, short sobs as she rocked my paralysed body back and forth.

"Shhh Bella, its okay... It's going to be okay. We're right here with you.." She soothed into my ear.

"Carlisle, please... Do something. Anything" Edward begged.

I began to become unaware of my surroundings. Darkness was beginning to envelope itself around my body, smothering me. Blocking my senses and pulling me into another world.

"Bella, I've just injected you with morphine. I'm hoping it will make this process a lot less ..." Carlisle's words faded away as my eyelids drooped and my body relaxed.

"Bella, I love you" was the last thing I heard. That soothing voice, I knew, was Edward's.


I'd never been sedated before. I'm sure in a normal situation, like a broken leg or a psychotic episode, it wouldn't be so bad. But being turned into a vampire over a three day period wasn't a normal situation. I had a lot of time to think. While I could hear everything that was going on around me, I wasn't able to move, and I certainly couldn't reply to anything they said. I could still feel pain. A steady, burning fire was pulsing through my body but it was slowing. It wasn't as intense as the day I was bitten, but it was uncomfortable. I assumed the pain was slowly, so slowly decreasing because my heart was slowing down. Eventually it would come to a stop and my transformation would be complete. I would be dead. Undead. Born again. But most importantly I would be with Edward.

His thoughts were what kept be distracted. I wanted to scream out in pain at every chance I got. I'm sure I would have lunged for the 1st person I saw and tried to harm them, but I wanted so badly for this to go well. I was terrified of what I would be like when I eventually woke up. Would I be some crazy blood thirsty newborn? Would I try and attack the humans in forks or would I try and attack the Cullens? I didn't want to be that sort of vampire. I wished that I could skip past the 1st year and go straight to good stuff- starting a life with Edward. I was so eager to begin the rest of my life. A life that would last forever. Would I remember everything? What would I look like? I was certainly looking forward to being more beautiful that human Bella. I hoped that Edward would still feel the same way about me. I wanted so badly for this to be over with. I knew that when I woke that it would take time. I also knew that Edward would probably never forgive himself for letting this happen to me. I was going to do everything in my power to make this perfect. Hmmm power... would I have a power?!


Alice's point of view.

Edward. I waited for his response. I already knew what it would be of course, but this wasn't a time to let him know that. I loved my brother so dearly and I was horribly worried about him. I knew he would be in the same spot as he had been for the past 2 and a bit days. In a chair, next to Carlisle's examination bed, holding Bella's hand. He refused to leave her side. I knew he was punishing himself for this. It was typical Edward behaviour, but it wasn't his fault. Heck, even I didn't see it coming until it was too late. But of course, in my opinion it wasn't too late. I always knew Bella would become a vampire. I wanted so desperately for her to be my sister and for her to be part of our family. I loved her so much. As far as I was concerned, this was meant to be. But I knew Edward wouldn't see it that way.

"You're right, I don't." He muttered from the second floor.

I sighed, and picked myself up off the couch where Jasper was slumped over, watching the sports channel. I leant over to kiss him on the cheek as I made my way up to the room where Edward waited.


Edward's Point of View

I hear both Alice's footsteps and thoughts before she entered the room. You should go hunt, or you could come and watch some TV and relax a little.

"I'm not leaving her side Alice" I muttered under my breath as she entered the room. I knew I was being rude to my family and I was so thankful to them for their patience and understanding through all of this- but at this point I was beyond caring.

"I don't know about that" she chimed. Do you really want her waking up to THAT? She gestured towards me. I looked down and realised that I was in the same torn, blood-stained clothes I was in when I found Bella in the ballet studio. The smell of her blood hadn't even crossed my mind until Alice brought it up. I had been so distracted, or should I say focused... All I could think about was holding my Bella in my arms and making sure she was safe. She had totally consumed every thought in my head. Every function, every need, every desire had completely left my body and been thrown out the window. I knew only Bella. And she was all I had. All I wanted.

"Maybe you should take a shower. Get changed" She interrupted my thoughts as she rested her hand on my shoulder. If I had been able to shed tears, I knew I would have. Jasper must have felt a change in the ambience because he was running into the room before I could even sense his thoughts.

"What happened? Edward are you ok?" I looked up at him and felt a wave of calm flood through me. Jesus, Edward.

I knew what Jasper was doing but I wasn't even angry. This was the first time I had felt anything but anguish in almost 3 days. I broke away from Alice's grasp and stood up.

"You're right Alice. I'm going to go get..." I stammered. It's ok Edward. I'll watch over her.

I paused to kiss Bella's forehead before reluctantly exiting the room and making my way to my third floor bedroom.

The fast and hard pressure of the shower did little to de-tense my stone skin, but I still found the process of showering somewhat soothing. I wondered what Bella was going through. My poor Bella. I reached out to hold onto the shower head as the water passed over my body. I hated myself for letting this happen to her. How could I do this to her? Surely she couldn't have wanted this. And even if she did want this, would she still want me? What would the change do to her? To us? I craved her soft warm skin. I wanted to hold her in my arms, protect her. I briefly wondered what she would look like. I hadn't noticed her body change much while I watched over her these past 3 days. Maybe she wouldn't change that noticeably? She would be stronger, though. My mind allowed thoughts of the benefits of Bella's strength to enter. She would be stronger. She would be the same as me. The slow realisation of what this meant for our physical relationship was unceremoniously interrupted by Alice's thoughts. She was having a vision. I saw her first through Jasper's eyes. She stook completely still, her eyes wide and glazed over. Then through Alice's mind- Bella running through the forest at full speed, smiling and laughing as she looked back at me, trailing behind her. She stopped abruptly when she realised what lay ahead of her- A camping site. She turned back to look at me, here eyes blood red and he lips pulled back over her teeth.

I hear a loud crack before I was brought out of Alice's vision by water spurting out crazily from the wall in all directions. I had ripped the shower head off the tiled wall. I shook my head before quickly turning off the taps and standing in the shower. My beautiful Isabella. What would happen when she needed to feed? I knew how much she hated the Idea of hunting- on human and animals alike. My shoulders hunched and I sighed when I thought about what this would do to her. I dragged a towel over my wet skin quickly and pulled on a pair of green khaki pants and a while pull over sweater. I paused at the threshold of my doorway and tried to put on a strong, confident facade, for my Bella. I knew my family would see straight through this. But I also knew that Bella would be frightened and scared, and that she needed me.

My concentration had betrayed me... My ears pricked up as I heard a series of gasps and then a flurry of thoughts.

Oh my Gosh, her arm moved...

Is she waking up?

Edward! Get down here!

I was there before I could even realise my legs had began to move. Each member of my family was congregated in Carlisle's office, but they moved towards the walls as I entered the room. This time, I had to consciously remember to put one leg in front of the other as I slowly moved towards Bella. My mouth opened in shock as I saw her slowly blink repeatedly. I was standing over her face as her eyes opened one last time. She stared straight into mine for what seemed like forever, until the only word I needed to hear came out of her mouth...

"Edward".
