Chapter 1

"Are you sure?" He asked as I stared into his beautiful golden eyes. Of course I was sure I wanted to become one of them, but for some reason my response was delayed. My only real fear was the intense physical pain that was about to come. The transformation was going to be a horrible pain, but nothing could be a worse pain than having to grow old and continue not being worthy of Edward's love.

"Yes Edward, you know this is what I want. I love you more than anything including my humanity." He just looked at me and smiled that wonderful crooked smile that always melted me like butter. He leaned down and kissed me passionately. He had never kissed me with such fierceness and that worried me. Was he not going to love me as much after I was a vampire? When I wasn't warm and fragile and smelled irrestable to him? He somehow saw the worried look in my eyes and he asked "Whats wrong Bella? If you don't want to do this, I totally understand." "No Edward its not that, its just….." "yes?' "Well I was worried that…. Well maybe once im not human you wont want me as much." He looked at me like I was a maniac. "Bella how can you even think that? You will always be my truest love, even when your just like me." I smiled a huge smile and nodded "I'm ready."

With that he leaned down, gave me one final kiss, and moved his mouth to the hollow of my neck. I took a deep breath and prepared myself. Edward tensed, and finally after what seemed like hours of suspense, he sunk his razor sharp teeth into my flesh. I could feel a cold trickle of venom slowly creeping into me. The morphine Carlisle had injected into my system only lasted a few minutes, then came the most horrible burning sensation that I could ever imagine. There couldn't be a God, because if there was one, he wouldn't allow such an intense agony to even exist.

Edward held me tight to keep me from shaking violently for what could have been a second, a day, or a thousand lifetimes. I couldn't tell. Time ran together in my painful agony. After an immeasurable amount of time, all the fire and hot red pain turned into cool blue daydreams. Edward and I in our meadow, Edward and I floating in the ocean, the sky turned pink and orange with the setting sun. "Bella" I heard an angelic voice say. I wished I could respond but the coolness covered me and pulled me down like snow on tree limbs in the Winter. I wondered I had any control over any part of my body so I tried to move my fingers. "Carlisle!" The voice called out. I could tell that Carlisle was in the room. He smelled like latex gloves and honey. I wondered if I had the vampiric sense of smell. "Carlisle she's moving." "I see, well it won't be long now. Should I call in the others?" "Yes im sure they'll want to see her." With that I heard five other vampires enter the room. Each one had their own smell. Suddenly I could feel my entire body again. There was no more weight pulling me down. I opened my eyes to the beautiful world around me and to my new life.

Should I continue or what?…
