Thank you to the people who gave me reviews! I never expected to get any! They made me so happy and made me want to write more! Thank you again!
For when she wakes up, I got a bit of inspiration from Breaking Dawn when Bella becomes a vampire.
Everything, was so absolutely, and amazingly CLEAR!
I could see everything in sharp, well defined detail. It was almost like changing a television from regular, to High Definition. The difference was amazing.
After I had had my eyes closed for so long, the light in the room should have blinded me. But that was my old eyes. With these enhanced ones, I could look directly into the light, and not be blinded like I should be.
The room was lit with a single bulb, hanging directly in the centre of the room. I could see the tiny, brightly glowing filament inside, as it created an almost rainbow effect. It was quite beautiful, and I saw an eighth colour I had never seen before.
The ceiling was wooden and I could see all the individual grains in the wooden boards. I was enthralled by this new sight, but I had idea where I was. I guessed that the Cullen's had moved me while I was changing. I shouldn't have been surprised- they wouldn't just leave me in the forest would they? I must be in the Cullen mansion.
I inhaled, and it felt wrong, but relieving at the same time. And I could smell everything as well. There were delicious scents nearby, and I recognised them as my family, though much more concentrated then before I was changed.
I could also hear everything. But no one was moving, and no one was breathing- except me. I was slightly disconcerted again by my lack of movement. It was strange, but I was sure I would get used to it. After all, I had an eternity, right?
Then I sat up in a fluid, fast movement that surprised me- I had never been so graceful all my life. When I was still human, I had been so clumsy, just sitting up would have made me off-balance, but obviously, being a vampire had changed me completely.
Then I looked down, and saw my family. Jasper and Emmett were at the front, Alice peered out from behind Jaspers elbow, a small, encouraging smile on her petite face. I could see Carlisle and Esme behind her, and Rosalie stood half behind Emmett, a curious expression on her beautiful face.
They were all even more beautiful now, with my enhanced sight and I gazed at them all in absolute wonder. Then, I spotted Edward, standing a little way away from the others, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide and... amazed?
If I had thought Edward looked beautiful before, it was nothing to how he looked now. I could even find words to describe him and my own mouth fell open with awe and I couldn't look at anything next.
I was frozen for almost a minute before Edward moved towards me, slowly, with measured, cautious steps. He held out his snow-white hand and he seemed wary, even frightened of me, of what I could do.
I took his hand in a lightning fast movement and he pulled me to my feet. I also noticed our skin was the same temperature now. It was strange- I was so used to him being colder than me.
I expected myself to feel light-headed at the sudden movement, but my balance was perfect and I stood on the floor next to the table I had previously been lying on. My pyre.
"Bella?" he asked. His voice was even more incredible now, if it was possible. I could listen to it forever and a day.
I just leant my head slightly to one side.
"Love, I know its disconcerting, but you'll get used to it." he promised me, his voice soothing and relaxing.
Would I? I couldn't imagine right now ever being used to something like this.
He must have sensed my disbelief, because he smiled at me reassuringly and told me, in a voice that held nothing but truth and sincerity, "You look stunning, by the way."
I raised an eyebrow, and looked at the other Cullen's for confirmation. I noticed Alice was missing, but I had barely registered that before she reappeared in a flash, a full length, gilded mirror in her hands.
"If you don't believe him, take a look a yourself Bella. Then tell us you don't look beautiful." Alice trilled of in her usual high, wind-chime voice but it still sounded so different to when I was human.
I was still sceptical as I looked in the mirror, but my breath caught when I saw my reflection, and not just because of my vivid red eyes that reminded me so much of Victoria's hair and sent a stab of fear into my gut. It was because I was beautiful!
My skin was even paler than before, if I hadn't seen vampires before, I would have thought it was impossible, and my hair, darker now, was now made of full, bouncy curls, that glimmered in the light. My mouth, reddened by the transformation and plumper than usual, actually fell open at the beauty of this strange person in the mirror. It was me, but then, it wasn't. I was focused on the eyes, the vivid flames that seemed to almost glow scarlet...
"You're eyes will change soon, love." Edward told me, sensing my shock easily as I stared in horror.
I looked at him questioningly, wondering exactly how long that would take, but was caught up in the beauty that is Edward once again. My mouth fell open, and I was dumbstruck. Silent.
He looked at me, curious as to my astonishment and I whispered, "I love you."
He was surprised, but pleased, "and I love you too, my Isabella." he replied, his voice soft.
I smiled shyly at him, uncertain of what to do. But he did it for me when he stepped fluidly over to me and placed his arms carefully around my body. Again, I noticed that he was no longer cold, that we were the same temperature, and that he no longer felt like stone. He was almost soft... I then threw my own arms around him with unstoppable enthusiasm and hugged him as tight as I could to me. After what had happened, I never wanted to let him go.
"Ow. Bella. Ow." he complained, trying to shift himself in my grasp.
I instantly let him go, worried I'd hurt him. He just gave a nervous chuckle, "don't worry, love. You're just a bit stronger than me at the moment- you are a newborn after all."
It took a while for that information to sink in. I was stronger than Edward. It was strange- surreal almost. It just didn't seem possible, I had been so used to being so much weaker- and clumsier- around him it just seemed...
my train of thought was cut of when I suddenly felt his soft lips pressed tenderly to mine and all thought flew out of the window. Wave after wave of desire swept through me and I clutched myself to him- remembering in the back of my frenzied mind to be gentle as I kissed him back.
I may not have needed oxygen now, but I sure was panting like I never had before. Edward had never kissed me like this. But I suppose he had had to hold out on me when I was human. He was kissing me with the same amount of ferocity, and I bowed my body against his...
I remembered then that we weren't alone and I pulled away from Edward, waiting for the tell-tale blush to spread to my cheeks from the embarrassment. But it never came- I would just have to get used to that.
The Cullen's all looked rather uncomfortable as they looked at us and I just grinned sheepishly at them, waiting for Emmett's teasing, but it never came as it was then, I wondered what the outcome of the battle was, as it had slipped my mind when I had woken.
"What happened?" I asked.
Everyone instantly knew what I was talking about and became cautious and much more sombre, and I was instantly aware that something had happened, something very important. My muscles tensed and my eyes narrowed as my nostrils flared. "What happened?" I asked again, my voice lower, almost a growl.
"Bella, love..." whispered Edward cautiously. I just fixed my glare on him and he flinched fractionally.
"Tell me." I ground out.
"Bella, it was one of the wolves..." he told me slowly.
My heart, if it was still beating, would have stopped. Which one? Not Jacob? Please not Jacob!
I felt the calm being forced upon me and I looked at Jasper suspiciously but I accepted the calm, I needed to stay focused.
"Who?" I asked, my voice calmer but underlaid with anxiousness and fear.
Edward clearly wasn't going to say anything, so I turned to the rest of the Cullen's.
"Who was it?" I asked again, my fear and anger mounting up a notch.
"It wasn't Jacob." Carlisle reasurred me, trying to sooth my on-edge nerves.
I let out a sigh of relief, but it was almost gone as quickly as it appeared. It may not be Jacob, but it still meant someone else had been hurt. Who was it? Quil? Embry? Sam?
The anxiousness mounted to a peak I had never experienced before and my heart- what was left of it anyway- was in my mouth. I couldn't even breathe and I was glad I didn't need to as Edward told me what I needed to know, even if I didn't want to hear it.
"Bella, love. It was Seth."
A/N: I thought this would be a good place to end it. Please review- constructive criticism welcome! Tell me if its rubbish or worth continuing.
