Sorry it took me awhile to post this but I was in California for a week and the hotel I was staying in charged twenty-four dollars for internet. No way was I going to pay that.

But anyway thanks to all my readers and reviewers. Hope you like chapter two.

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Twilight or any of it's characters. Stephanie Meyer does. But if I had a choice I would own Jasper.

Chapter Two: The Change

V-Pov

"This is gonna hurt." I told her.

I picked her up and ran my fingers deep through her back. She screamed and I let her hit the floor. She fell on her back just as I wanted her to and I picked her back up and focused on what was coming. I ran in the opposite direction of the animal. I ran as far as I could holding my breath while Bella whimpered in my arms. I really didn't want to hurt her but I had to leave blood behind they had to think something got her.

They would think an animal got her and then they would look for a body and when they couldn't find one they would give up.

When I got to Canada I stopped running. Once I was in a cover of trees I bit Bella and laid her down. I left her and went in search for a place to stay the three days of her transformation. I couldn't just have her outside screaming. Someone would hear.

Running through and apartment complex I saw a woman standing at a door with the key in it about to go inside. I ran up to her and grabbed her. I slid the key out of the door a brought her off into the forest I quickly drained her and went to find Bella.

I picked her up and carried her back off to the apartments. I fished the keys out my pocket and opened the door. When I walked in I laid Bella on the sofa and went searching through the rest of the apartment. When I found the bedroom I looked through the clothes. I picked out an outfit and got in the shower. The warm water felt amazing on my skin. I washed my hair and just stood in the water for awhile.

After getting dressed I went out to the living room and turned on the TV. I looked over at Bella and she was abnormally quiet. I haven't seen many changes myself but I know how bad that burning feeling is. It scared me that she wasn't screaming.

I touched her hand and I could tell it was cooler than what was normal. Not as cold as my skin but I could tell she was changing. I decided I would just ask her when she woke up. I went back to watching TV. I flipped through the channels. I stopped on a show called Degrassi. From the commercials I noticed the show was having a marathon of every episode of the show. To pass time I watched it. Episode after episode after episode. A few episodes in I started to like the show. By the second day I had a favorite character. At twelve o'clock another show came on I guess to let people get rest so I talked to Bella. I wasn't sure if she was far enough along to hear but I talked to her.

"Laurent stays in Denali with the vampires up there. They live like the Cullens but I'm sure they've told you about their extended family. Well he's apart of it now. I didn't think he would make it but he's living just like them now. I've seen him. His eyes are almost that strange color as theirs are. He found a mate. One of the Denali sisters. I think she's the one that's been keeping him in check."

I talked to Bella the whole two hours the other show played and when Degrassi came back on I returned to watching it.

I was watching the last few episodes of the show when Bella's heart rate started to pick up. I turned off the TV and prepared for her to open her eyes.

"This is gonna hurt." she told me.

I wasn't sure what she meant by this but she grabbed me up off the ground and ran her claw like fingers down my back. I screamed and she threw me to the ground and then picked me back up and started running. I was confused but I was in too much pain to think of her reasons. She ran and ran and ran. We stopped in the forest it didn't look much different from where we just left but I'm sure it was. Victoria laid me on the ground and sunk her teeth into my neck.

I wasn't sure how long I'd been burning but I refused to scream. I didn't know where I was because I didn't open my eyes. I just laid there. At some point in time I heard Victoria talking to me. She told me about Laurent living with the vampires the Cullens thought of as cousins. She told me how she met James. She told me a lot about herself. After awhile she stopped talking and I was forced to count my heart beats to pass time. I noticed that as time passed my heart rate was picking up.

After what seemed like years of time the rate of my heart became so fast it was almost a constant thud. Then it stopped. I gave one last fighting beat and the burning was gone. I was scared to open my eyes because the way I was burning I was sure I should be just a black mark on the forest floor.

I slowly opened my eyes to, not the night's sky but, the ceiling of someone's living room. My vision was so clear I could see the rainbow of color in the light. I could see tiny particles of dust in the air.

I slowly turned to see Victoria sitting on the floor next to the sofa watching me.

"So how does everything look?" she asked smiling brightly at me.

"Bright." I answered her.

"Well I'm pretty sure your dying of thirst right now."

"No." I told her lying.

Before she mentioned it I wasn't really bothered but now the burn in my throat was hard to not notice. I didn't want her to take me hunting. I didn't want to kill people. I now understood what Carlisle meant when he said he didn't want to be a monster.

"Bella I've been there before your throat has to be burning." she told me. She thought for a minutes and came to a conclusion. "You don't want to hunt people."

It wasn't a question but I answered it anyway.

"No. We don't have to. It's not necessary. You've seen-them."

It was hard for me to say their name although now if I really wanted to I could search for them. I could find them. I had all the time in the world. I didn't want to find them though. If they wanted me they wouldn't have left and I won't be somewhere I'm not wanted. Victoria wants me so this is where I'll be.

"Look Bella that's your choice." she told me. "If that's what you want to do I won't stop you but I'm not feeding off of animals. I'll come with you if you want me to and I won't ask you to join me on my hunt but that's the best I can do."

"Ok." I agreed. I knew she wasn't gonna change her ways in one night but one day I would change her mind.

Victoria led me out to the forest and gracefully climbed to sit on the branch of a tree.

"Have fun."

I closed my eyes and listened to all the amazing sounds of the forest. I could hear things I was never able to hear before. I could hear squirrels running through the trees. I could hear a river flowing from somewhere far away. I could hear heartbeats. Six of them.

"Smells like rotten cabbage." Victoria said from her spot on the tree branch.

I opened one eye to look at her. She shrugged and I closed my eyes again to concentrate. I could hear the animals getting closer. I lunged and landed on the biggest deer of the herd. Once I had him pinned I snapped his neck. There was no need to put him in any unnecessary pain.

I sucked the animal dry in mere seconds and headed of to catch one of the others that scattered once I attacked.

One thing was Victoria was right they didn't smell to appetizing. They didn't taste any better either. The deer did satisfy my thirst though.

After dropping the dead body of the third deer I took down I headed back to Victoria's tree.

She hopped down and smiled at me. Which was a very weird gesture seeing as only a few days ago she was bent on killing me.

"Finished?" she asked.

"Uh yeah." I replied.

"So where are we headed?" she questioned as we ran.

Truthfully I didn't know where we were headed. I didn't even know where we were. I stopped running. When Victoria noticed she stopped too.

"Where are we?" I asked her.

"Somewhere in Canada." she replied. "I don't really keep track of those types of things. You need to change."

She grabbed my wrested and lead me back to the house.

I spared a second to glace at what I was wearing. I still had on the clothes I had been wearing when she found me. So not only were my clothes filled with the blood of the deer the back of my shirt bore my blood.

After getting cleaned up and changed I headed off with Victoria on the path of my new life of being forever eighteen.

So tell me what you think I would love to hear how everyone feels about the story so far. Review and I promise the next chapter will be posted way quicker than this one was.
