(a/n…Hi everyone. Sorry we didn't talk to you before in chapter 1, but we are still new at this. So, we didn't use Bella in this story, as you already know, because she annoys us. This is the only one that she isn't in and obviously the sequel. Sorry the chapters are so short. But as the story goes on we think they will get longer. Our other stories' chapters are definitely longer, we will have a titanic/twilight crossover up soon. We are coming to a close on it and will put the first chapter up when it is finished. Enjoy and PLEASE review, we would greatly appreciate it.)

We disclaim EVERYTHING that sounds familiar. Unfortunately Twilight and Edward and Emmett and Jasper and… isn't ours. :(

Chapter Two

*** The Change ***

~ Edward's POV ~

My speedometer was creeping toward 95mph when I realized I had no idea where I was going. I had been planning to go back home, but that would have meant turning left out of the hospital lot, where I turned right.

"Oh, well, Edward," I said to myself. "You need to go hunting soon anyway, might as well make it an extended trip."

The idea of getting away from the girls agony pleased me.

I turned on the Volvo's stereo system and popped in my newest obsession, Debussy. I cranked the volume up as loud as it would go and proceeded trying to force myself to relax.

"Buzz…Buzz."

My shiny, silver cell phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and read the name on the caller I.D.

Carlisle.

'Of course,' I thought.

"Yeah," I answered into the tiny speaker.

"Where are you?"

"I'm headed north on the highway. I'm going to the Denali's to hunt.

"Son," he replied, "come home. You should be here when she awakens."

"No!" My voice was raising in volume now as I thought of the suffering the young girl would have to endure. "I have no wish to hear the innocent pleading for mercy in her mind." I was calming now, making myself realize Carlisle would only do what he felt was right.

Silence.

"I'm sorry Carlisle, I lost control. I just don't wish to witness the girl's pain."

"Very, well," came the reply. "Call us when your anger has subsided.

His response was calm as he hung up. I would spend four days with the Denali. That would be sufficient for Krystine to have woken up and had everything explained properly to her.

As I neared Port Angles, twilight was consuming the earth, the safest and most depressing time of day for vampires. For after twilight, darkness would encase us and leave us alone with our thoughts, while the rest of the world slept.

~ Carlisle's POV ~

The taste of human blood filled my mouth. So sweet. I had done this many times before, yet each time breaking the bond between my mouth and the human's flesh seemed more difficult. The time for me to stop was drawing nearer. I felt the venom from my bite seep into the veins of the human girl at an increasing rate. I drew in one last mouthful, and then ignoring all of the instincts my body naturally threw at me, tore my mouth away from the young woman's neck.

I looked around the room as I broke the trance human blood always left me in. I was alone with a convulsing young girl. The agony she was now in, made me suffer greatly. Knowing that I had put her in such pain made me reconsider my choice. After I had gone through my reasons for changing her, and reasoned with myself that I had made the correct decision, I remembered what I must do to ensure the change would take effect correctly.

I called Alice in from downstairs.

My family and I had brought Krystine to our home for her change so as to not raise suspicion. Also so when she woke up, she would not go on a feeding frenzy at the hospital.

Alice opened the door and I saw immediately saw the restraint she had to put herself to not pounce on Krystine. It was for this reason the rest of my family was downstairs in the first place. Edward was the most controlled around blood besides me, but since he was out, Alice would have to take his place.

"Restrain her Alice," I gently commanded, gesturing to the leather straps on the table. She and I both proceeded in tying her limbs to the metal table.

Krystine's convulsions were becoming more erratic now. Her non-restrained limb was thrashing and her back arched as she let out a shrieking howl of pain.

My mind had now shifted into full doctor mode. All my urges as a vampire were ignored and my enhanced senses were used to aid me in my struggle to comfort the girl.

I had been observing her for nearly seven days and was now noticing her full beauty as her body came to life with pain.

"Now inject this into her main arteries," I instructed, holding out the syringe of venom my family and I had gathered previously.

Alice did as she was told, holding her breath the entire time. I could tell that she was having difficulty restraining herself by this point. Her dark eyes widened as she drew in a breath, smelling the blood that seeped from the bites on her neck as well that which leaked from the punctured wounds of the needle.

Alice neared closer to Krystine's forearm. Her face was only an inch from the point that leaked the human's blood.

"Alice!" I said as calmly as the situation would allow. I reached towards her in an attempt at restraint as her face moved closer. We reacted with such intense speed, humans, I'm sure, wouldn't have known we had moved. Before I could get to her, however, Alice had thrown herself against the wall.

"…Carlisle…I…" Alice stammered trying desperately to fight the very nature of her being.

"Go," I said giving her permission to end her struggle. With a final look of gratitude, Alice sprang gracefully towards the door. I was sure she was going to the woods to find Jasper.

Once again I was alone with Krystine. Her thrashing had subsided and, though I lacked Edward's ability, I was sure she was silently praying for death.

I alone, would have to remain with Krystine for the next three days. For the strong scent of her blood, brought back foggy human memories of the caramel shop down the road from my father's house when I was a boy, would keep the rest of my family away until her transformation has been completed.
