Chapter 2: Are You Real?

BPOV

The creature in the mirror was gorgeous. Simply stunning. Her mahogany hair cascaded down to her waist in soft, thick waves. Her wide eyes were a magnificent shade of turquoise, dancing in the light from the table lamps. Her full, plump lips were a glossy candy apple red. Her flawless skin was a perfect shade of ivory, gleaming in the faint light the lamps provided. Any teenage girl would kill for that face, for that breathtaking beauty.

But the most stunning thing about her? The wings that arched gracefully from her back, the feathers were all white, even and shimmering; like a vampire in the sun. It was me. My heartbeat thudded heavily in my ears, albeit very slowly. My feet were hovering three inches above the ground. That must be why I felt so light.

I raised my hand to my face and touched my lips. The woman in the mirror did as well.

"Ho-ly crow." I said simply. I turned around and flinched when my wings hit the door. I guess I would have to be extra careful with them. When I was facing my family, they were all staring at me like I had grown a second head. Yeah, I had wings now, but they didn't need to look at me like I was a mutant.

Edward's stare was scaring me the most. It was blank; like he was looking straight through me, like it had been before he left when James was tracking me. I lifted my hand waved it back and forth in front of his face slowly. "Edward? You okay?"

His eyes focused on me and he tried to put his hands on my shoulders, but they went right through them. I gasped, when his hands had passed through me, it had felt like a million little pinpricks.

"Bella! What the-?" He stopped talking when I began rising into the air. I had already been floating a little, but I was slowly going upwards. One foot, then two, until I was five feet in the air. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were jumping to grab my ankles, but their hands just kept going through me. My head reached the ceiling, but instead of colliding, it went right through.

I was officially panicking. What the heck was happening to me? As I rose through the roof of the whole house and continued upwards, I heard a shout from the ground. "Bella!" I looked down to see the Cullens on the lawn staring up at me, floating through the rain, into the night.

I didn't know if I would ever see them again, so I opened my mouth and shouted, "I love you!" I wasn't worried about anyone else hearing, the Cullen's house was just too far from everything for any human to possibly overhear.

O.O.O.O. (2 hours later)

Wow. The past two hours had been insane. After steadily rising for about a half-hour, I was in Heaven. Literally. I met God, and He explained everything to me. What had happened, why it had, and what I was meant to do for all of eternity. He had explained powers to me I didn't even know I had received. He had made me immortal, just like the Cullens. He had stopped my heart, and taken the 'taste' out of my blood, so it would no longer be painful for them to be around me. He had made my body require animal blood to replenish my energy. After he was sure that I was ready to begin my new duties, He sent me back to Earth.

I hurtled towards the ground, about as fast as Edward could run. The Cullen's house came into view, as did the seven vampires standing where they had been when I disappeared. At the angle I was falling, I was going to land in the river, and at my current speed, I was going to hit hard. Alice's head lifted first, and the others quickly followed. Their faces read pure shock, and even a bit of astonishment.

I hit the water like a cannon ball, sending a mini-tidal wave spraying towards them. When I hit the bottom, all the air whooshed out of my lungs. Even though I technically no longer needed the air, I gasped on reflex. Water gushed down my throat, choking me. I planted my feet on the bottom and pushed, launching myself out of the water, and landed in front of the Cullens.

I didn't want our first interaction since my return to be me spewing river water on them, so I turned and coughed it up. It burned a bit coming up, but I just wasn't used to not needing air. When I straightened up and turned back to them, they were all looking at me with fear in their eyes. Why would they fear me? Oh, right; my wings and halo. I remembered how He had told me to tuck them away, so I closed my eyes and did just that.

When I reopened them, Edward was right in front of me staring into my eyes. He reached one hand out, almost tentatively, to stroke my cheek. When his hand met my flesh, he gasped, whether it was from my cold skin-the same temperature as his-, or because his hand didn't go through me.

"Are you real?" he whispered, so quietly I wouldn't have been able to hear him before my transformation.

I placed my hand over his, leaned into his touch, and met his eyes as I said with firm conviction, "Yes, baby. I'm very, very real."
