A/N: Hey, thanks everyone for reviewing! I'd been so worried that no one would review that I threatened one of my beta (Thanks Nicole!) that she better review so I don't look like a looser or she'd "feel the madness of my fury". Which doesn't make sense at all, but whatever. A couple things that I forgot to add last time- 1. Emmett is 20 (like in the book) and Bella is 17. 2. They're both changed in the year 1935; two years after Rosalie. You'll find out their history and how Bella knows so much in the next ch.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight-I just have fun bending the characters to my will!

Chapter 2- Ed POV

We arrived at the house we were currently 'living' in about 25 minutes later. As Rose and I raced into the house, Carlisle came down with Esme, who quickly ran back up the stairs at the sight and smell of the bloody humans. I heard in her thoughts that she didn't want to accidentally attack them.

"Carlisle, please change him! We found these two humans in the forest being mauled by a bear. Please, Carlisle, please!" Rose begged, while grabbing the man from me and thrusting him into Carlisle's arms.

"Calm down Rosalie! First, the girl needs to be put somewhere that she won't be able to hurt herself from the pain of the change. Edward you do that and I'll…change the man." He said with a sigh. Carlisle really didn't like taking lives, even if they were on the brink of death.

I took my angel up to my room and tied her down with some rope I'd randomly found, and sat to think. Would she even make the change?

I woke up to light. Not just any light, but I could see the whole rainbow in it! Where was I? I immediately tensed when I heard several light footsteps coming to where I was.

I tried to think back to what I could last remember, but it was blank. I knew that my brother Emmett and I had been attacked by a bear while in the forest, but I could tell that I wasn't dead. How could I be when I felt so alive? Someone must have saved us, but how did they save me?! I had intentionally thrown myself in front of the bear, so Emmett wouldn't get killed…I was on the edge of death!

Suddenly, I realized that I had been thinking faster than I ever had in…well, regular life. Because I had thought all of these things in between the footsteps that were walking to whatever room I was in. Something must have happened to me; something I wasn't sure I wanted to become. I was a vampire.

Ed POV

I ran to get Carlisle the second I could tell she was 'waking up'. He had just finished with the man when I arrived. Fortunately he was too out of it to scream in pain and hurt our ears-and befuddle my mind even more.

As Carlisle turned to me he mentally asked what I was doing down here when I should be restraining the girl. Esme and Rosalie were in the room as well, cleaning up the blood, so I decided to go on with my astounding story.

"Maybe you should all sit down," I calmly requested, not belaying my inner nervousness. They all gave me strange looks, but complied.

"Something amazing has happened. Rosalie, you were with me when I bit the ang-girl, I mean. That was about 45 minutes ago now. And-well, I don't know how to say this, but…she's waking up right now."

Carlisle's eyes widened, Esme's mouth hung open, and Rosalie's eyebrows rose-the greatest sign of surprise we'd ever seen on her face after we had told her she was a vampire. Everyone's thoughts were all jumbled up, making me even more confused, until Carlisle said, "Alright. We should have Esme, Edward and myself go up and break the news to her. Rosalie, you stay here and watch over the human."

We ran up the stairs, but it occurred to Esme that the girl might be scared if we were running at vampire speed. As we were approaching the door, I heard her moving a little in my bed and then all movement stopped when she must have heard us outside the door. I expected to hear thoughts of confusion, fear, even anger, but not nothing! Her mind was blank to me. I quietly told Carlisle this, and he thought it would make our job of convincing her harder, but we'd manage. (b/c Edward can tell them if she's buying it or not, and what would convince her)

Slowly, at human speed, I opened my bedroom door. She had her back to us, but we could visibly see her tense. "James?" she questioned I a melodic, yet very frightened voice. Immediately I was angry at whoever this 'James' was, that he was so special as to be the one she called out to first.

"No," answered Carlisle softly," We are the Cullens-would you please turn around so we can talk?"

"It's alright, I understand," she said but turned around anyways. I gasped.

In front of me were some of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen. A blond man that I'd guess was no older than 30, a soft, kind looking female that I assume is his wife…or mate, since my suspicions had been confirmed by their beauty, old-timey accents and the wisdom I could see in their eyes. Lastly, I looked to the other male-and gasped. He was beautiful! The face and body of perfection, or what I now imagined perfection to look like: deep, sentimental, golden eyes, wild bronze hair, and a wonderful crooked smile.

Well. I had thought that Rosalie was Edward's mate, but apparently I am proven wrong. I hate being wrong! Grrr Edward. This is like love at first sight, though! So that kind of makes up for Edward's making me be wrong....But what did she mean by, "I understand?"

************************************************************************

Esme POV

Oh! I couldn't be happier, it looks like Edward has found his one true love! I could tell that he didn't much care for Rosalie, and it hurt me that he thought he had to pretend for Carlisle and I, but I can see why he did it. I'm glad she looks like she's just as much in love with him! And she's so beautiful, too!

Ed POV

After several seconds had passed, all of us in shocked silence, Carlisle decided to tell her about what has happened to her.

"First of all, what is your name?" She seemed to jolt out of her thoughts and answered simply, "I'm Isabella Swan-McCarty. But just call me Bella."

"You know, Bella means beautiful!" I said dreamily, while staring at her. I knew I sounded like an idiot, but she's so…I can't even begin to explain it!

Edward! Esme mentally scolded me. You're probably scaring her! I thought I taught you better! After I looked properly chastised, she looked to Bella and said, "It's so nice to meet you! This is my husband Carlisle and I'm Esme! Oh, and this is our adopted son Edward (pointing to each of us in turn). We also have Rosalie, who is downstairs looking after your…um, friend?"

"He's my big brother, and his name is Emmett. It's nice to meet you, too."

"Well Bella, we have something sort of shocking to tell you. You are-" and Carlisle was abruptly cut off.

"I know. There's no need to explain to me what I already guessed. You are vampires-but you're different compared to the others. I would guess that your eating habits are not the same."

Everyone was, once again, gaping open-mouthed at her. How could she know what we are? Esme thought.

"Wait." Carlisle said, "What do you mean by 'You are vampires?' You do know that you've become one, too, right?"

"Yes." I stated, suddenly looking and feeling miserable. "I had to turn you, or you would have died! I swear I wouldn't have done it unless those were the conditions! Please forgive me. I am utterly, sincerely, and completely sorry for doing this to you."

"First of all, I forgive you-er, Edward. And second, well this might shock all of you! I would not have died; not truly. I know that you have questions, but I'd rather wait until Em is up. I'm gonna assume you had to change him as well, correct?"

"Well-yes," Carlisle spluttered, "But-"

"When Emmett is awake!" Bella thundered. "He doesn't know the whole story either."

************************************************************************

BPOV

Two days later, Emmett woke up. I was glad he did, because I missed hearing his voice and all the pranking we did to one another, as well as our dad. And also because the girl "Rosalie-you may not call me Rose" was driving me absolutely insane! Her only saving grace was that she seemed to have a thing for my brother. Maybe I can get him to make her be nice to me-or at least not so rude.

I was there the second he was awake, and ready for him to find out what he'd-well, in some ways we'd-become. "Carlisle," I called out softly. Immediately he, and the rest of the Cullens, were by my side.

"B-Bella?" Emmett said in a soft voice. "Where are we? Are we in heaven?" he asked when he caught a glimpse of Carlisle. "Are you God? 'Cause you definitely look like him! And are you an angel?" he asked Rosalie. I chuckled at that, but apparently no one else found it funny.

"I am Carlisle. This is my family-Esme, my wife, Rosalie, my adopted daughter, you obviously still recognize Bella, and this is my adopted son, Edward."

I watched Emmett's eyes widen when he heard Rosalie's 'beautiful' name, and I could just imagine that he thought it fit her because she was as lovely as a rose. Behind me, I heard Edward snort. Suspicions confirmed!

When Em turned to see who had made the sound, he gasped and cried, "Lucifer! Get thee away from my sister!" Edward, who wasn't quite prepared for my brothers theatrics, looked shocked.

"He's just joking, Edward. Don't worry, anyone who knows you could tell that you are such a good person. So, don't listen to him."

"Well, Emmett," said Carlisle, "we have to tell you something. Do you remember that you were attacked by a bear before you woke up here?" At this, he nodded. "Then you'll remember that my daughter and son saved you-from the bear. But not from death. Even I, one of the top doctors in the world couldn't save you. Both of you were at death's door, so we turned you into one of us. You are now a vampire."

Oh, great. I can see that mischievous twinkle in Emmett's eyes! He's going to cause a scene, and probably unknowingly make everyone feel guilty! Before I could stop him, he boomed, "I'm a WHAT?"
