Authors Note: Okay, so since Bella is now unconscious, this will be from Edward's point of view. Just a warning. So let's get with the program! TV Static
I watched as Bella rocketed towards me, and, as always, I was careful not to hurt her. Just a caution when you're a vampire in love with a human. She shot through my arms into the water. I spun around quickly, diving under the water to get her, praying with all of my un-beating heart that she was okay. I quickly found her, but just as I did, her head hit a rock.
I could feel my face contorting into a pain filled expression. I saw the light fade from her eyes as she slipped into unconsciousness. I wrapped my arms around her torso, kicking off the rock that had hit her, making it burst into pieces, pushing me towards the surface.
I quickly jumped out of the lake, silently cursing myself for letting her slip through my arms. I could have caught her. I could have not let her go. I should have seen this coming! I sprinted towards home, when suddenly Bella's aroma became too strong to bear. She was bleeding.
"Damn it!" I yelled. I stopped breathing, and continued home. Hopefully Alice would have seen this and had everyone but Carlisle out of the house, or not breathing. I was right. Carlisle stood at the door, the rest of the house empty.
I handed Bella off to Carlisle, and we ran inside to do anything to help.
'Bleeding, a cracked skull...not good.' Carlisle thought. He looked at me and spoke one thing matter-of-factly.
"Edward, you must change her." I refused to believe this. I didn't want this life for her. Bella didn't deserve to live like us, not being able to come out in the light, never to eat, sleep, or do anything remotely human.
Sensing what I thought, Carlisle skipped ahead of the questions. "Edward, if you don't do it, Bella will die." If I could cry, tears would have been in my eyes when she hit her head.
"I-I can't! I couldn't do that to Bella!" I moaned.
"But you must, and quickly!" He urged me. With a choked sob, I picked her up, memorizing her in her last moments of humanity. I leaned in and sunk my fangs into her system, Carlisle pulling me off once I had done what was needed.
Those next three days were agony for me. The first day, all she did was scream. I didn't leave her side once, incase anything happened. I hated seeing my Angel in such pain. It took all my strength not to scoop her up and hold her, sobbing with her agonized screams.
On the second day, strange things started happening. Randomly, things would disappear, and then appear hours, minutes, or seconds later. Her body flickered in parts. Her arm would blink solidly, turning clearer. Her legs would twitch, and be gone from sight completely. Her screams had lowered down to whimpers by this point. She seemed to relax and sink into the couch in my room when her body flickered out completely. We knew she never left because we could still see her general shape through her cornflower blue tank top and blue jeans.
I took her hand in mine; rubbing soothing circles when ever the whimpers grew into hysterics.
By the third day, only the things she was touching would disappear. As her whimpers grew to hysterics once more, I rubbed circles into her palm, but suddenly my arm disappeared! I dropped her hand and yelped. I could still feel it, and soon it flickered back solidly. But then I looked at the floor.
Her fingertips were now resting on the carpet, but the floor was now invisible! I could see into the kitchen where Alice sat. She happened to be looking up, and saw through to my room. She, just as I had, screamed in surprise and shock.
But as the third day came to a close, I no longer heard a heartbeat, and the room was now colder, the heat that once radiated from her body now gone. She stirred sleepily, rubbing her eyes, now a deep black, and looked at me. Her lips seemed a little more full, her skin milky white, just like mine.
As she stood up and walked to the mirror, I noticed she still had a bit of her klutziness. There was now a permanent twinge of a pastel pink on her cheeks, giving the illusion of blush, forever plastered onto her face.
She gasped at the look of herself, and soon she was wrapped in my arms, and sitting on my lap. She giggled as I kissed my way along her now cold jaw line. I'm sure that if she was still human, her whole face would be red.
"How are you feeling Bella, my sweet?" I whispered in her ear. She gasped at how clear my voice now was to her.
"F-fine!" She gasped at the silken sound of her voice, but it sounded ever the same to me. "Edward, what happened?" She asked, staring up at my face, which had now grown darker.
"You hit your head, and I had to change you to keep you living." I said darkly, regretting that we had ever gone to that damned lake. "Oh." Was all she could say.
We sat there, watching the sun rise into the sky, but that suddenly blinked, making her yelp. "What happened to the sun?" She asked. "You." I said quite simply. "Carlisle." I said, sure that he would hear me.
He was up here in a flash. "I think we need to test Bella's abilities. Invisibility of the highest order." He nodded, and headed out the door, rounding up the family and, with us following, headed out into the forest surrounding our house.
