Chapter 3 – An Eternity

Rosalie:

I stroked his forehead, wishing I could alleviate his pain. He thrashed around for three straight days; I didn't leave his side once. I could hear his heartbeat slow in those last few minutes. Then, it completely stopped.

I expected him to open his eyes after the heartbeat stopped, but he did nothing. It was like he was – oh God!

" Carlisle! Help! Carlisle!" I shook him gently. " Please wake up. You have to wake up." Carlisle rushed into the room, along with Edward. Carlisle looked concerned. He came by my side and examined the man. I wrung my hands up in knots as I watched.

" Why isn't he waking, Carlisle?" Carlisle looked up at me and asked, " That's all you were worried about? Rosalie, every vampire is different in how they wake. Edward here took fifteen minutes before he would wake up from the transformation."

I looked at my feet; I feel stupid. Edward said softly, " You're not stupid. You were just worried for the man." I looked up at Edward and thought thanks to him, knowing he would receive the message. Carlisle said, " Well, Rosalie, let us know when he awakens. Are you going to explain to him, or should I?"

I looked Carlisle square in the eye before stating, " I'll tell him." Carlisle nodded solemnly before stating, " Ok." Then, they were gone. I gently took the man's hand and squeezed it. I waited.

Then, I saw his eyes flutter. My breath hitched. His eyes continued fluttering until – finally – they opened. He looked around, and sniffed the air once. I giggled at that. That caused him to direct his attention to me. He whispered, " Where am I? And who are you?"

Emmett:

I heard myself ask, " Where am I? and who are you?" I honestly didn't care about the first answer. I was looking straight into the eyes of my angel. She smiled – flashing ultra white teeth – and said, " You're in my family's home. My name is Rosalie."

I smiled, glad to finally know the angel's name. She giggled and looked away. It was the woman from the dream, but it couldn't have been a dream. It felt so weird. I asked, " What happened?"

Rosalie's face turned grim as she explained, " I was running when I heard you, and saw the bear. You had just been attacked, and were losing a lot of blood. I picked you up and brought you to Carlisle. I didn't want to make you like this – like me – but it was the only way to save you. I truly am sorry."

I felt my eyebrows knit together as I inquired, " What are you?" She looked away; it had been the question she had hoped I wouldn't ask. Finally, after she recomposed herself, she whispered, " A vampire."

My eyes widened when I heard the statement. Then, it dawned on me, " You changed me into a vampire? To keep me from dying you changed me into a vampire?" Yes, I was happy to be alive, but a vampire?

She suddenly looked away and stated icily, " Yes, I turned you into a vampire. I didn't want to – but I had to. It was the only way you would live." Then, she stood abruptly, and ran lightening fast through the door.

Rosalie:

He hates me; I could tell from the way he looked at me. And it's all my fault. I should've just let nature do what it needed to do. I shouldn't of made him like this. He probably wants to kill me. I understand if he does; I just damned him to an eternity on earth.

You know you want to review! :)
