CHAPTER THREE
That morning I woke up and the largest smile was plastered on my face. I kissed Edward, as soon as I was fully conscious, in a way that I knew would break all the rules that he had previously used. These rules meant thing to me now though. They would mean even less in just a few short hours when Edward bit me.
"What's with the excitement this morning? If I would've known I would greeted like this every morning I would have promised to change you months ago, postponing it of course, until later," Edward said with a crooked smile, my smile.
"I know, I couldn't help myself," I confessed, "It's just that this has been the day that I have been dreaming of for so long. I can't remember any other dreams."
"Oh really? So you've been dreaming of me like this?" It was then that Edward had pinned me down on the bed attempting his most frightening vampire impersonation. Too bad for him I knew he made a lousy murderer.
"Oh yes, I've been frightened every night in my sleep over that exact image." I tried to lace the response with as much sarcasm as possible, but it just fell through having been said through a giant smile.
He kissed me, more softly this time, and let me push him off the bed, flying backwards onto one of his chairs. "Are you sure you haven't already been bitten by Jasper? You already have the strength of a new-born," Edward mocked. With that I went down the ancient spiral staircase to greet the rest of my family.
Everyone was gathered around the enormous dining room table by the time Edward and me arrived. Everyone was still smiling, a little more genuine though then the day before. Everyone but Rosalie though. I could still see that she could not understand why I would choose the lifestyle, which she considered eternal damnation. I liked to believe that afterward though, when she could no longer attempt to persuade me out of my decision, and would finally accept me.
"Bella," Carlisle began in his sultry mature tone, "Today is your day. You get to choose the who, what, where and when. So, what do you choose?"
"Well," I began, staring into Edward's beautiful eyes, "To answer the first, Edward. The second, bite me."
Everyone had a good laugh at what I thought was old and dry nineties humor. Maybe my humor would never age either?
I continued, "The where, well, wherever Edward believes me to be safest. Lastly, right after breakfast. I'm starving."
As I gulped down my orange juice Edward was in quiet deliberation on the setting of my transformation. In the end it was decided to be in Edward's room. Unlike his room in Forks, there was no wall of glass that I needed to worry about breaking. Also, they believed that that is where I would feel the most comfortable. And they were right.
After breakfast, Edward carried me up to our room. Emmett was humming a funeral procession in his head but apparently stopped when Edward gave a low growl from his throat. When we got to the room it was only Edward, Carlisle and myself. Carlisle was there to help with the pain medicine and of course, make sure that I was not killed. I felt no fear though. My safety would no longer have to be Edward's concern.
"Are you ready for this Bella? You know that this is your last chance, there's no turning back from here," Edward explained. As I looked into his eyes I saw the fear, the concern and the love he had for me more then I have ever felt when I have been in his presence.
I replied as calmly, simply and quietly as I could, "Yes."
And with that, I felt Edward's cool mouth on my neck, carefully and irrevocably making eternity a reality.
I know, I couldn't sleep so I decided to write another two chapters. My friends would totally be ashamed. Please let me know you're comments. Because if I am completely ruining the book I could totally make this the ending. I hope not though ... I think I have a stellar idea for a few more chapters at least. Just let me know!
