The New Isabella Swan

BPOV

Chapter 1: It was the night of Harry Clearwater's funeral, the beach was cold and windy as I walked down it, everyone was at Harry's including the pack. I was just finishing my 7th circuit of the crescent moon beach when a flickering of light out in the ocean caught me eye. As I searched for it I heard a voice behind me. And my blood froze.

"Hello Bella." Said a high soprano voice. I spun around and there she stood, soaking wet. The vampire that had haunted my dreams for ever since I'd met Laurent in the clearing….Victoria.

Her brilliant red hair blowing around her oddly feline face as she slowly stalked towards me. I wanted to say something, anything really, maybe to beg for my life or threaten her but I was too focused on the person next to her…Edward.

My memories were nothing compared to this, every detail defined perfectly, his eyes -a gorgeous topaz- were focused on Victoria and his voice, oh it was as good as him being her and without the pain that my memories caused. He was growling low and menacing at Victoria. Suddenly spiking at her next words.

"How have you been Bella? I'm sooooo sorry that I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet but your werewolf pals have been making it difficult for me." Her eyes glinted maliciously as she said this causing me to shudder. "I couldn't believe when I saw that the Cullen's had left I was so sure that Edward would never leave you, so you can see that I was generally shocked when I noticed their scent had grown old, but I see you have found yourself another set of bodyguards, hmmm you always have someone to hide behind don't you?" She cocked her head to the side as she said this as though she was trying to figure out why so many people would risk their lives for me. I myself didn't even know the answer to it.

Edward was roaring at her by now and had sunk to a protective crouch in front of me but which of course would do nothing. Some how during this I found my voice. "W-what are y-you going to do t-to me?" I finally stammered out.

"Oh well I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise would I?" She replied with a twisted smile. "When your boyfriend went and killed James I was beyond pain, I want him to feel that pain and to know what I went through because of him. I know this is a cliché but do you have any last words?" Her smile was so twisted it was more like a grimace

I said "Edward, I love you."

And with that she lunged at me.

Edward's roar of defiance was almost as loud as the sick sound of my leg snapping or my scream of pain that I was sure would reach people in Australia. She licked her lips as she stood over me and lowered a hand to my face as if to caress me, then she grabbed a fist full of my hair and hauled me to my feet but as my leg went out from me she kept her hand in my hair so that I was dangling from it. My next scream almost drowned out Edward's furious roar.

She dropped me onto the stones after that and my breath whooshed out of me. Then she grabbed the hand with James scar on it and stroked it tenderly. I heard the sound of heavy paws, Edward's furious "NOOOOOOOO!" and from seemingly far away my own scream of pain as she bit into my hand. I blacked out.

When I came to, just like when James bit me the fire suddenly took over my whole mind the pain of my leg turning into nothing. I tasted blood and realised that I had bit into my lip to stop my self from screaming. Next I heard a scream of defiance and strange metallic screeching and I knew that the wolves had finally gotten to Victoria. If I hadn't been going through torture I probably would've of smiled with relief.

I then felt hands shaking me and a frantic voice saying my name. "Bella, Bella oh God no! Bella come on talk to me" I distantly realised that it was Jake calling to me but I knew that if I replied I would start screaming again. "Is she dead?" asked Jake between sobs.

"The red head? Yeah she's dead Jake." Said a deep voice which later I found out to be Sam. "No Bella! Is she dead?" My whole body was shaking with the force of his sobs.

"No she's not Jake you can still hear he heart beat." Replied Sam. The fire had now spread through my whole body, I couldn't imagine a pain worse than it. I tried focusing on Sam and Jakes conversation to distract me from it, but also because I was confused, because surely I was dead and had gone to Hell.

"Then why aren't we taking her to the hospital?" Jacob stood up as he said this.

"Jake, it's too late."

"Damn it! It's not too late her heart's still beating!" Yelled Jake

"Jacob! Calm down!" Said Sam

"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN BELLA IS LYING HERE DYING AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" I could feel the ground shaking next to me.

"She's not dying." Said Sam in a dangerously calm voice

"She's…..not dying?" Said Jacob, the ground suddenly stop shaking. I couldn't believe what I was hearing she's not dying Sam had said, then what the HELL was going on? "Jake look at….look at her hand." Said Sam. What? What had happened to my hand? I didn't think Victoria had done anything to my hand. And then it clicked why I was burning and why Sam had said I was alive but didn't want to take me to the hospital.

Victoria had bitten me. I was becoming a vampire.

This new information staggered me. I couldn't believe that I was getting which once apon a time had been my heart's desire only six months late. I felt someone picking up my hand and then a sharp gasp. "Oh my God, the bitch bit her."

"I'm so sorry Jake." Said Sam in a grave voice.

"So what now? Where are we going to put her?" Asked Jacob

"Jake we can't let her live."

"WHAT? You're not going to kill her! The treaty isn't broken!" Yes, I thought, please kill me what's the point of going through this pain for immortality when I had no Edward to share it with?

"Jacob can we take this inside? People are going to notice us soon." Sam said.

"Fine but we take her to my house."

"Okay but be quick." Hissed Sam. I felt the ground go out from under me and a part of me thought that I should be apposed to this but since the majority of me was focused on my burning body I really couldn't care less.

I dully noticed that whoever was carrying me had put on something soft, so I guessed I was in Jakes house and on his bed. I then heard voices fairly close by. In the hall? "Jake you can't think we can let a newborn vampire loose in Forks! Our job is to protect the people NOT kill them which what we're doing by letting her live!"

"We CAN let her live she'll be like the Cullen's and live off the blood of animal's!"

I tuned out after that not wanting to listen if they were going to talk about the Cullen's. The pain was just too much. Jacob came in soon after that and sat down and the seemed to fall asleep. To past the time I started counting his breaths. 43,165 breaths later someone with very light footsteps walked in and shook Jacob awake. "Jake, wake up you got to eat something." Said a male's voice that was heavy with concern.

"Thanks Seth." It came out slightly muffled so I guessed he was all ready eating the ….cereal? How could I smell that? My body must already by changing from human to vampire.

"How come she isn't screaming? Didn't she say that the others were conscious during their transformations?" Asked Seth. It took Jake so long to answer that I didn't think he was going to and started counting again. "Billy has two theories one is that she is awake and just enduring it in silence." Jakes voice broke at that." Theory two is that when Victoria tortured her she passed out before she bit her and her body won't awaken until it's over." He said this with a bitter edge to his voice.

"What are we telling Charlie?" Seth asked.

"That she's sleeping over here for a few days, Charlie's so distraught about Harry that he barely said anything on the phone." Jacob's voice sounded dead.

"What about when she wakes up? What are we going to tell Charlie? And what if we can't control her? Will you be able to kill her?" Seth's voice was thick with worry.

"I don't know Seth, I just don't know."
