Chapter 2

(Elizabeth's POV)

I could feel the venom cursing through my body, by I couldn't move or talk. It hurt like a cruiartus did, but it didn't attack your magic as well. Speaking of which, I think my magic and the venom were bonding together, my magic putting me into a magically induced coma while the venom worked with the help of my magic. I don't think this had happened before. My magic was very smart and powerful, so I think it know that this needs to happen for us to survive. I wonder what will change. I hope my eyes stay green. If there is anything I'd want to stay the same, it would be my eyes.

I was barely aware of what was happening to me. I couldn't feel anything because of the pain the venom was causing. I vaguely realised that I had been dressed and moved, but other than that, I was completely oblivious to what was going on. I could feel the change coming to an end. It felt too soon, but I don't know. I could feel my magic pulling me out of the coma- at least I knew my magic stayed with me instead of being destroyed by the vamp venom.

I felt a small amount of pressure around my hand and I felt my eyes fluttering open.

Jasper was the first thing I saw. He was beautiful. I heard him gasp slightly.

"What is it?" I asked, my voice slightly rough from lack of use.
"Your eyes…there green…a dark green…" He breathed, his lips slightly parted and his eyes a dark gold. He needed to feed. I heard light footsteps coming towards the room. I knew it was Carlisle, I don't know how, but I knew. Maybe I just recognised his spell from when I wasn't a vampire.

"How are you?" He asked as he stepped into the room.

"Not bad. I feel the burning, but it's not so bad at the moment. How long has it been?" I asked, shocking the two vampires in front of me.

"Fourteen hours. Are you sure about the thirst?" Jasper asked, evidently confused.

"Yes, I will go hunting in a few hours or so. Just to let you know, I still have my magic." I said, wondering if I had a gift or even if my magic was my gift. "Jasper, you look hungry, did you want to go hunting now instead?" I asked, worried for my mate. When was the last time he ate? He nodded solemnly. "Okay then." I said, getting off the table and holding my hand out to my mate at a human speed that also seemed to shock them. "I may as well start trying to move at a human speed." I said, and was suddenly glad that I couldn't blush anymore. Only when we reached the window we were going to jump out of did I realise that I was wearing high-heels. "Who the hell put high heels on me? I know I'm blood short, but still! Stilettos? Really?! I like the dree though. Love you Hermione, Luna. Alice, Rosalie, we will be having word." I said, the last bit in a voice I only ever used when facing an enemy in battle. It was my 'shut up and get ready to die' voice. I laughed softly as I took my shoes off at vampire speed before taking Jasper's hand in mine and jumping out the large widow that was more like a door.

We landed on the floor then ran off towards the forest. I paused at the river, wishing there was a bridge or something. To my amazement, a small bridge appeared above the water. I stepped on it cautiously, not knowing if it was stable seen as it looked to be made of light, like a weak patronus charm. It became solid beneath my feet and I walked across it, the bridge disappearing behind me. This must be my gift. I wished for my green eyes and I got them. I wished for a bridge and I got one. I didn't want one that would stay forever because the others might be upset with me, so I got one made of light. I wanted to test this theory so I cheekily wished for Jasper's shirt to vanish. I giggled when it did.

"What? Where'd my shirt go?" He asked confused as we made our way into the forest together.

"I wished it away." I said smiling brightly at him and taking his hand once again. "Did you want it back?"

"Yes please, Darlin'. I would prefer it if you didn't magic my clothes away. Not while we're feeding anyway." He said, smirking at me.

"I didn't use my magic. It seems to be my gift. I wished to keep my green eyes and I did, I wished for a bridge and I got one made of light. I wished for you shirt to vanish and it did. It wasn't my magic, but I know that my magic and the vampire venom mixed together so I could keep my magic. My magic even put me into a magically induced coma during the change. I think my gift is that because of my crappy non-vampire life. I think that this is our creator's way of an apology." I said, strolling in between the trees.

"You believe we have a creator?" Jasper asked quietly.

"Yes. I have died before and I came back. I was given a choice, Jasper, and I think I made the right one." I said, leaning up to kiss his cheek, letting him know how I felt. "Did- did Severus tell you all the last thing I said before the change?" I asked nervously, looking down at my bare feet, wondering if he knew how I felt about him already.

"No. He left quite quickly after we arrived. He tried to save you, but couldn't." Jasper said, his hold on my hand getting tighter. "Why? What did you tell him?" He asked, I took a deep unnecessary breath of fresh air.

"I…I told him, 'tell him I love him', him being…you." I said, letting go of his hand and running deeper into the forest, leaving a shocked vampire behind me.

All thoughts of Jasper left me as I let my instincts kick in. A wild lion was prowling around getting ready to devour a stag. If only the lion knew. I raised my hand and concentrated on my magic. I twisted my wrist and the lions neck snapped, just as was about to pounce, causing the stag to run away. Never mind. I'll just have to make do with the lion. I sank my fangs into the lion's neck, and briefly wondered if you could turn an animal into a vampire…not that I would of course, it was just a…interesting thought. I finished draining the lion and was happily full, but drained a stag anyway, even if it made me feel bad emotionally. I walked back to the river to either find or wait for Jasper to finish hunting. He wasn't there so I sat back on the grass and started thinking about the prophecy and what I knew of the Cullen family. I didn't know them much, but I new a few things about them. For example, Carlisle enjoys reading so I would guess he wasn't exactly young, he was orgignally English, he has never feed off human blood, and he is a kind and caring creature, always wanting to learn more. Esme and Rosalie seemed to want to have children but couldn't, which was a terrible shame, but I may be able to help with that in the future… I sat there in my thought for a while waiting, I was so absorbed in my thoughts, I didn't notice Jasper come out of the forest, walk over to me, sit down next to me, or even put his arms around me until he whispered five little words in my ear.

"I Love you too, Elizabeth"
