Chapter Two
Bella was getting ready to become Bella Cullen. It was all she had wanted for the last two years and yet now she felt like a part of herself was empty. It was like when Edward left her only she had left Jacob. She had to choose and stop devideing herself into two different parts. She had chosen her first true love over her second and she was not completely sure that she had made the right decision.
An Alice boncing with glee opened the door to the apartment they had rented for the occation. She smiled at Bella and then frowned when she saw the tear stains on Bella's cheeks.
"I knew this would happen, it was unfair of them to force you to choose between them. I am glad you picked Edward however." Alice said to her.
"Me too, I love them both but I thought I loved Edward more." Bella said. "I am so sorry I shouldn't be crying on my wedding day."
"You thought you loved Edward more?"
"Yes, now I know I love them both equally but they both bring out different parts of me." Bella said and Alice smiled sitting down with her on the bed.
"I had a sister in my past life, but if I remembered her I could think of no better person to be than you. I am so glad that you are going to be my sister Bella. Everyone is you made the right decision you know."
"I know but that doesn't make it any harder." Bella replied and Alice pulled her close.
"Just know that you are making the right decision and I can't see you making any others anymore." Alice said to her.
"Come on I want to marry Edward and become a Cullen in every respect." Bella told Alice.
"Alright Bella let us depart." Alice said and together they went downstairs at a human pace.
Everyone Bella had ever know were downstairs. Jasper was the best man and Alice the bridesmaid. Everything was perfect and together they pleged to spend all eternity together. Then they kissed each other and the music started it was Bella's lullaby. More than anything it was their song.
"Come now you have to dance at your own wedding." Edward said his eyes dancing becoming both topaz and opal. Bella relunctantly took his hand and he carried her across the dance floor they were dancing but it felt like it was just the two of them in the room and no one else. Then the song ended and the moment was over although they continued to dance until together they climbed the staircase to their room.
Edward started to kiss Bella all over wispering to her, "Bella Cullen, Bella Cullen." Bella looked back at him with only love in her eyes and repeated his name as well,until together their names merged and became one then in the heat of the moment Edward bit Bella on the ear.
"Don't remove it Edward I want this I want you." Bella said and kissed him as the fire took her over it grew slowly but she didn't care she relished the flames of her body giving her forever with her love fire bloomed from her blood and soul she was the flames and she wasn't she was everything and she was nothing. The flames were her choice and so she embraced them pain and love becoming one in her mind. Until slowly the flames inside her body slowed and stopped she was a vampire now and would be with Edward forever.
When I became aware of myself oncemore I was in the forest lying on some kind of grass and all the Cullens were around me and I could hear their thoughts.
"I wonder if she is still too much of a cluts to have some tests of strength I wouldn't mind putting my self against a new born, just in a friendly manner of course Edward I would never hurt Bella." Emmet said his mind was like his person strong and self assured and yet it carried something of a boys.
"I wonder what Bella's talent will be." That came from Jasper he too was self assured but there was also a trace of the soidure he once was.
"I do not know what her but I can see that it will change her life forever." Alice said and to my surprise she could see all that Alice had ever done as a human. She knew stories that she could share with Alice now which meant that she would never have to go shopping again.
"I can't belive she chose our life, true it was out of love but still." That came from Rosalie, I saw a part of Rosalie she had never seen before she saw for the first time what the others saw in her. Rosalie was loyal to a falt and her love for Emmet was just as strong as my love for Edward. She enjoyed the adventures as much as Emmet although she would never admit it.
"I can't wait to welcome her to the family properly once she is completely aware of her surroundings and awakens from the final sleep." Esme said and all that love filled my mind.
"She never cried out once in all that time after all that pain. I am so glad that Edward found what I found in Esme." Carlile said and I could sence his compassion and his love for the family that he had created a family that he had never had as a mortal.
"Bella, I am so sorry Bella will she forgive me? What if she won't then again she said that she wanted this." Edward was confused and ratiaded that confusion but also love and I understood that he would always be there for me. "I should have told her about Jacob but I only caught it after the battle that he was bonded to my Bella."
I opened my eyes slowly and instantly everyone in the room was staring at me. "What?" I demanded. "Can't a girl sleep without everyone watching her?" Everyone laughed but it was nervious laughter. "By the way Edward I am with you and I will stay with you, but please there will not be secrates between us do not even try. Oh and Emmet as soon as some people give me room to breath I am up for a match. Rosalie I am sorry I was standoffish towards you at times, let bygones be bygones? Why would I cry out I chose this life, I have nothing to fear from some pain. I knew what was happening to me and I felt that fire before. Just to warn you I can read minds."
"Minds?" Edward said and everyone echoed the thought.
"I can also tell things about you that I did not know about. For instance Emmet you love to wrestle because your brothers and you had weekly wrestling matches." I said and Emmet smiled at me.
"Right little sis, perhaps we could do that again sometime?" Emmet asked hopefully.
"Let me get used to being a vampire first Em." I replied and everyone stared at Emmet shocked.
"What it was my nick name." Emmet said defencivly.
"Edward I can tell you are nervous about me reading minds." I told him. "I will try not to read yours if you don't read mine, however could we possibly go away from here, I kind of need a vampire moment." Everyone laughed at this as I entended.
"Alright then, we will have to walk at human speed however, my lady." Edward said and took my hand helping me to get to my feet. I felt stronger than I had ever felt in my life, for once I felt in charge of my own body instead of the other way around. I caught a scent on the air it smelled good, great in fact, I ran as fast as I could what was that oder and then I saw them, a girl and a boy they were scarcly older than I was. I stopped stunned, there were people here why did they take me to a place with people after just waking up. Then the girl saw me and smiled.
"Hello, would you like to join us I can tell that you are hungry." The girl offered and pointed to the pot, not wanting to be rude I sat down with them and tried some of their food. To my surprise although it was not blood I found myself enjoying the pasta they gave me. It tasted good and well like pasta not like durt at all.
I washed the dish they had given me in the stream and thanked them. "Anytime," the boy said. I then walked slowly out of the clearing and begain to run once more although half my mind was on what I had found out, I could eat human food although it did not give me sustanace. I continued on until I smelled something else, it was a meaty smell and when I approached I found that it was a bear. I dove on the poor animal and drank it dry, I then moved a tree to cover it. I smelled something else coming yet farther on, it was a mountain lion we grappled again and I tasted it for the first time it was so good. Then I saw a deer and drank its blood and then finally I finished off with another mountain lion. I then ran back at top speed to where my family was waiting for me.
"Bella," Edward cried when he saw me I must have been drenched in blood but he didn't seem to care he hugged me close to him.
"Well I didn't think that you would manage to have Carlisle's command over your body but I am glad you were and so too I think are the parents of those two campers." Esme said. "I am so proud of you and she too was hugging me.
"Sorry Bella, I didn't see them when I chose this place." Alice said to me.
"It is alright it is not as hard as you say it is actually. I think I know what my talent is I can have other's talents. I can also block their talents from me." I told them.
"You can do what?" Everyone said horrorfied.
"You heard me so you better play nice." I told them jokingly.
"She can also revoke someone's talent." Alice said and everyone stared at her.
"Permanatly." I asked.
"No, for as long or as short of time as you want." Alice replied.
"Wow Bella, that is so cool your like wonderwoman." Emmet said.
"She was always wonderwoman to me this just makes it more interesting." Edward said.
"So like you could play with my talent and give it back to me when you are done?" Emmet said.
"No, you would keep your talent and Bella would mirror it." Alice replied and then I had a question.
"So is this just for living vampires?" I wondered allowed.
"You can answer that question yourself." Alice replied and I stared within myself for the first time.
"No for dead ones as well, any vampire that has ever lived or even any new born." I answered myself within the priviousy of my own mind. "Rosalie are you sure you want a baby?"
"A baby?" Rosalie said and her mind became a confusing mix.
"Bella why did you offer that?" Emmet said going over to Rosalie.
"Because I think I can give it, it would be a vampire though, do you mind?" Bella asked. "It can also be any age you want, although it is better if it is pretty early on, otherwise it might be a grown man or woman with no memories. I can give you a child if you want it, if any of you want it, but I need to make sure that you are sure first." I said and everyones' minds went into turmoil.
"Bella we can have children?" Edward asked overjoyed.
"We all can, but it can't be through the normal way." Bella replied. "They will be biologically yours, although I can't garrenty about how they will come out. I think they stop growing when they reach the combined ages of their parents or when they are bitten by another vampire."
"Interesting, well we will have to think about this, we already have so many children, we don't really need more but to have someone related to you by blood." Carlisle shook his head amazed at the possibility.
I knew what I needed to do I let down my guard and talked to Edward mind to mind. "I don't think I am quite ready to become a parent would it be alright if we gave it a few years first?"
"Of course Bella, I do not mind at all the mere possibility that we can have children thrills me." Edward said to her and kissed her hard hugging her close to her. "I am so glad that I will never have to worry about crushing you again."
I smiled up at him a look of love in my eyes. "Emmet do you want that match I will only use my newborn strength to make it an equal match. I do not know much about wrestling but I am willing to give it a try."
"Not isolated enough, however we could arm wrestle." Emmet said to her.
"Very well." I said and gave him my arm together we sat down on the grass and begain to wrestle, after four hours everyone was engrossd in the game.
"Give in to me?" Emmet said.
"Is that really what you want Emmet?" I asked.
"No, if I am going to win it needs to be without you giving in." Emmet said to me.
"Draw for now?" I asked I was enjoying the match but I could see the hunger in Emmet's eyes.
"Draw." He agreed and together we drew back and were on our feet in a moment.
"Ready Jazz?" Alice said and together they went off in the oppisite direction of the two backpackers.
"Thank you Bella, for offering me children. I am sorry that I was so standoffish, but at first I felt like I needed to protect my family. Then I didn't want you to transform because you were giving up your life."
"Yes I was giving up my life but also starting a new one with Edward. I suppose that I knew that this was the only way we could be together forever." I told her.
"I understand, you go about your life and then wam somebody comes to you, I got this big baby and you got Edward but we both got something that many people wait their whole lives for."
"Go hunt, I am getting hungry anyway, Edward come let us hunt." Edward agreed and we were racing through the forest together forever.
