Disclaimer: As much as I wish I could own it, I don't. Stephenie Meyer owns the wonderful Twilight series.
When I awoke, my body felt cold, and hard as marble. I lay there a moment, trying to remember what happened. It all began to slowly come together, piece by piece in my mind. I remembered the pain, the excruciating unforgettable agony I suffered. I remembered slipping into and out of unconsciousness, as the venom slowly coursed through my body. I remembered that, during the time I was conscious, I screamed, pausing only to take necessary breaths. I remembered the look of pure agony on my angel's face. But the memory that stood out the most, was the fact that Edward changed me. I was finally a vampire. My wish come true. At that, I opened my eyes.
I know I shouldn't have been, but I was surprised that my vision was so much clearer. My eyesight had improved immensely. I was sure that my other senses had as well.
I sat up and looked around. I was in his house, in Alaska. In our house. We had only been married for a couple of weeks, so it was still hard to get used to the 'our' concept. Everything that had always been his, was now mine. I guess all his stuff was mine before the marriage, when he first realized he loved me, but now that we were married it was more official.
Edward had bought the house before we faked our deaths. He bought it before the marriage. We moved here right after our wedding. The rest of the family was going to take care of our 'deaths.'
Ah, the wedding. That was the best day of my life. That was the day we pledged our love to each other. That was the day we made love with each other. I still had a hard time grasping the concept that he was mine. All mine. I didn't deserve him, I'd always known that, but I still had him. That fact never ceased to amaze me.
The pain that occurred during the transformation was a horrid one, a pain that could not be compared to any other pain. It was indescribable. But it was definitely worth it. I would go through that pain millions of times for Edward. Thank goodness he couldn't read my mind. I'm not sure how he would've reacted if he heard that last one.
Speaking of Edward, where is he? I wondered in my mind. I was almost positive he wouldn't leave me during my transformation. In fact, despite my protests, he promised me he wouldn't leave me once during it. Don't get me wrong, I want him with me all the time, but I love him, and I didn't want him to see me in that much pain. I knew it was sick, but a small part of me was kind of glad that he didn't want to leave. That same part was angry when I awoke and he was nowhere to be found.
I got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. I walked to the door of the bathroom, hesitating. I wasn't so sure that I wanted to see how I looked, with those horrible red eyes. They had a terrible meaning to them. Those red eyes meant that I was a young vampire. A newborn. Uncontrollable, wild, and bloodthirsty. That's what those eyes meant. Besides, I wanted Edward to be first to see me as a vampire.
I walked past the bathroom door and out the front door. I wondered where Edward could possibly be. He wasn't in the house. I walked past the pond behind our house, and into the forest that took up much of our land.
I sighed. I already missed the rest of the family. They had come with Edward, to make sure that he wouldn't lose control, and left soon after.
A little ways into the forest, I heard a muffled cry. I stopped in my tracks and listened to it. I followed the sound through the forest, surprisingly graceful. I dared not make a sound. When I reached the source of the sound, I stopped.
My angel. My beautiful, beautiful angel.
Edward was hunched over, sobbing dry sobs. He kept repeating the same thing over and over, like a broken record player. "I'm sorry love. I'm so, so sorry." The whole scene was heartbreaking. He regretted his decision, I knew that much already. I looked down on his form, curled up in a ball. He was completely unaware of his surroundings. Right then, for probably the first time ever, I actually wished I could cry. How annoying. I cry when I don't want to, but I can't when I do want to.
I walked over and sat down next to him. I faced him and began to speak. "Edward, don't. Stop. Please," I begged. I tried to make my voice strong, but it came out in a whisper. As soon as my voice made sound, his head turned to look at me. He drew in a sharp breath. Oh God, how ugly am I?! I thought that that turning into a vampire enhanced your beauty, not the other way around.
He finally spoke. "You-you-you're so beautiful!" he exclaimed, stuttering in the beginning of his sentence, and answering my unasked question. I knew that if I were human, I would be turning ten shades of red at the moment. I looked down and bit my lip.
"Thank you," I replied, still looking down. I was shocked. My voice was almost as beautiful and velvety as his and Alice's. Of course, no voice could come close to his - his was incomparable, a beauty that could never be duplicated. But my voice was still more amazing than I thought it could ever be.
"Not that you weren't beautiful before, it's just that you're beauty is enhanced when you become a vampire, and now you're even more beautiful. I never thought that could happen, and, and…" he began anxiously. I chuckled to myself. Always such a gentleman. I had never seen him so tongue tied before - he made me curious. I grabbed his hand and we ran back to the house. I ran all the way to the bathroom. I stopped in front of the mirror and gasped.
I was beautiful! My facial features were striking. I had lost a little bit of fat on my stomach, and my curves were sharper. I wasn't as pretty as Rosalie, but I was still breath-taking. I groaned.
"What's wrong, love?" Edward asked me. His voice was full of concern, but there was a hint of regret still in it.
"I'm beautiful! That's what's wrong!" I shouted. "Unwanted attention," I grumbled to myself. I hated to be the center of attention.
Edward chuckled. "Do you find this news amusing, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen?" I questioned him using his full name. He hated that.
"Absolutely, Isabella Marie Swan Cullen," he responded confidently. I grimaced. I hated my full name, even more than he hated his. I huffed and walked away. The effort was useless, though. I couldn't stay mad at him for more than five minutes, and he knew that.
I went into our bedroom and went to the closet to change. I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I took a look in the mirror and sighed. I would need a new wardrobe. These clothes fit in all the wrong places. Alice would be thrilled. I, on the other hand, not so much.
Edward came up behind me, and his arms encircled my body. He kissed my neck, but I interrupted, suddenly asking him a question. "Edward, why did you leave me, during the transformation? I woke up, and you were gone."
I felt him tense behind me. "The pain, was unbearable. Seeing you like that, and knowing that I put you through that. I just couldn't take it. So I went to the forest, and what seemed like seconds later, you found me. it must have been a day later though." His voice was pained, and I instantly regretted asking him that question.
I turned around in his arms and put my arms around his waist. He hugged me back. "Edward, please. You didn't do anything but grant my wish, and I am so, very grateful for that. Now I can be with you for all eternity, with no one getting in our way."
Little did I know how wrong those words were. Little did I know, that in the future, we'd have to go through so much together, again. Little did I know that new complications would arise, trying to break us apart, forever. We would soon be struggling for our existences, the existences of those we loved, and struggling to keep our love strong, once again. Struggling more, than ever before.
Wasn't the past was enough? Wasn't what we had already gone through enough? Would it ever end? I guess the answer was no.
A/N-See? I told you it was longer. Sorry about the cliff-hanger, I just couldn't think of any other way to end the chapter. I changed the plot so many times in my head. This chapter is so different from what I had originally written on paper. That's what always happens when I transfer things from paper to computer. The story changes completely. I'm not completely sure what complications will arise, but trust me, they will.
