This is in Edward's perspective, mostly because Bella is unconscious for most of it. =D Enjoy.

Chapter 2 – Transformation

I looked at her broken body as she lay on the ground. I couldn't bring myself to look anywhere but her face; I didn't want to see anything she wouldn't want me to. I pried my phone out of my pocket, Alice had called three times and left voicemails, I would have to call her back later. I exited out of that and called Carlisle. He would know what to do.

"Hello?" He answered on the first ring.

"Carlisle, I…I need you to come to Port Angeles, as fast as you can." I said, urgent.

"What's the problem Edward?" He asked.

I paused to think of words that could describe the scene in front of me. "You need to see it for yourself."

"See what Edward? I'm sorry but you are being painfully vague. Is something wrong?"

"Yes. It's…" I took a deep breath. "It's Bella."

"Is she okay?" He asked, I could hear his car door open and shut, the engine revved to life.

"No." I said bluntly.

"Where are you?"

"At the intersection of South Tumwater Street and Marine Drive."

"I'll be there shortly."

"Thank you." I shut the phone and turned back around.

I looked at Bella's face. Her eyes were rolling around, trying to see but not being able to. Blood trickled down from her mouth, glimmering whenever the light flickered on. Her nose was broken, almost going sideways, the skin ripped from the muscle, revealing the cartilage underneath. She took breaths cautiously, holding them in for as long as she could. Of course, she wouldn't know that what she needed right now was air to support her heart and other organs, and holding in the breath was just causing more damage, but she didn't have two medical degrees either. When she exhaled, her face construed with pain. There were obviously broken ribs, if it caused her that much pain to exhale a small amount of air. Her left arm was draped over her stomach, clenching at it. Her right arm was next to her side, reaching out towards the sidewalk, unresponsive.

I walked over to it and picked it up, it wobbled in my hand. I softly touched up it, starting from the hand. Her radius was like crumbs, some parts sticking up, almost breaking the skin, if I touched them any harder, the shards would surely cut through. I left them be though, not wanting to cause her any unnecessary pain. Her ulna looked to be in the same shape, if there was even a radius and ulna left to speak of. Her humorous was protruding from the skin, but not little shards like her radius and ulna, the entire bone, razor sharp at the point and blood streaked, stuck out a good two inched from her arm. I set her arm back down carefully, avoiding places where her radius and ulna were shattered. Her lips were swollen already, and her breasts were covered with bite marks of all different sorts. There were also hickeys covering most of her chest, they ran up her neck to her face. One earlobe had almost been bitten off, which disgusted me. I had the urge to find those men and bite their ears off, watching them cry in pain as the venom seared through their bodies. I would drink their blood slowly, enjoying every minute of it.

A groan distracted my train of thought. Bella coughed once more, scattering blood on the pavement, my jacket, and myself. I kept my mouth closed and stopped breathing. I unbuttoned my shirt and wiped myself clean. I set it on top of her, to keep her body covered. Lights flashed around the corner, I looked up to see Carlisle's Mercedes stopping in front of us. He got out of his car, leaving it on and gasped as he saw Bella's body. He looked at me.

You didn't . . . did you? He thought.

"No. She was beaten . . . and raped. I didn't want to leave her, they are still somewhere around here." I looked around, there was no sign of life around, except for Bella's, but she was fading.

Carlisle put his bag down. What should we do? He asked in his mind, he was half talking to himself and me.

"Her radius and ulna are shattered completely, and her humorous . . ." I pointed to her arm. He gently inspected it. "I couldn't bear to inspect anything else, she's so . . . helpless." I ran my finger across her cheek.

Carlisle continued to inspect her body, every part of it. Edward. He shook his head. She's bleeding internally, badly.

I walked over to see what he meant. On her stomach was a patch, it looked like a bruise, but it was a reddish-purple. Carlisle pressed down, and the spot got bigger. He bent his head down to it and inhaled deeply. I did the same, it smelled like blood, but the worse thing was is that you could hear it slowly leaking from her organs when you pressed on it. Only vampire senses could have heard a noise that discreet. There's only one way. Carlisle thought.

A picture of Bella came into his mind. She had snowy white skin and blood red eyes. Everything was perfect again, her nose perfectly straight and her lips perfectly plump like they used to be.

"No." I growled at him. "Save her." I stood up and walked over to the car, leaning my head on the frame. "I don't want her to live like that. I want her to be human."

That isn't a choice son. It's either let her die, or save her the only way we can.

I shook my head. All I could think about was how happy she could be with Mike, how she could go to the beach and soak up the sun without scaring people away.

Choose now son. You have to make a choice. Either let her die or let her live.

"She would be dying in both cases." I replied, sourly. I couldn't say let her die though, and have that guilt on my mind for the rest of eternity. "Do whatever you can!" I screamed. All of my anger washed away, I couldn't let her die! Living life as a vampire would be better than never living again. She'd be free to make her own choices as a woman.

Will you take her back to the house? Take my car, it's faster. He thought. Of course, I wouldn't let him bite her here, her screams would carry. If she had any life in her left to scream, I guess.

I picked her up gently and walked over to the black Mercedes. I laid her down on the back seat and threw myself in the driver's seat, throwing it into gear. I drove home as fast as I could, headlights off and going four times the speed limit. I reached the house, not bothering to park the car in the garage, just leaving it parked in front of the porch. Alice was sitting on the steps, her face filled with pain.

"I tried to call and warn you." She said, looking at Bella. "What are you going to do?" She asked. She stroked Bella's face, pushing the hair out of her face to get a better look. She just stared and shook her head.

"The only thing we can." I whispered. Alice pictured Bella snow white, as Carlisle had. She gasped, knowing that it was in violation of the treaty, but nothing mattered right now. She flitted next to me as I walked up the stairs and into my room. She stayed outside in the hall though, only watching. Its lack of tidiness was obvious, and I immediately felt self-conscious, even though Bella wasn't conscious enough to even know where she was. I set her down on the couch, pulling the small blanket over her, taking my bloody shirt off of her and throwing it down on the floor.

"Bella, we're going to make you better." I whispered into her ear. "It . . ." I cringed, remembering my transformation. The venom burning through my body, slowly killing all of my human cells, it's the most vibrant memory I have of my human life almost a century ago. "It's going to hurt, worse than this. It's going to make you better though. I swear, if I could fix this some other way, I would."

Her bottom lip twitched that plump bottom lip of which I'd wanted to kiss the thousand times that I saw her. Her heartbeat was weak, beating in an irregular pattern. We had to do this quick, or there would be no way for her to pump the venom through her body. Carlisle walked into the room, coming to stand next to me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

Bella's head turned to the side, her eyes were open and looking at me. At first, there was shock, and then there was understanding. Her lips twitched up in a smile, the tiniest bit, but it was there. I looked up at Carlisle, who was looking at me. He nodded.

Will you? Or do I have to do it? He asked.

"I don't think I have . . . the strength. I won't be able to stop." Bella's heart missed a beat.

You will. I believe in you. And I'm sure that Bella does too. He thought, confident in me. Confidence I didn't deserve.

"I'll kill her."

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Silence. Silence. Ba-dump.

"She's dying Edward!" Alice said as she walked in, tired of watching us try and make a decision.

"I know!" I growled.

"Then do it already, you aren't going to kill her Edward." She pictured Bella and I, holding hands together as we sat on this very couch. She leaned into me, and smiled.

Baaaaa-duuuuump. Baaaaaaaaaaa-duuuuuuuuump. Bella's heart was faltering. I didn't have much time.

I leaned in and took a deep breath. Her scent burned my throat, making an overflow of venom in my mouth. I graced her throat with me lips. I spread them, her warm skin underneath of my razor sharp teeth. I took another breath to steady me, and then bit. My teeth sliced through her skin like butter. She gasped and started to convulse and writhe with pain. Her savory blood flowed into my mouth, immediately soothing my throat, like ice to a burn. I had never tasted anything so sweet in my life; it was like sugarcane when I was a boy, if my fuzzy memory was correct. I just wanted more, and I didn't have to ask. The artery pumped the blood into my mouth, so I didn't have to put any effort into it.

"Edward. That's enough." Carlisle said, tightening his grip on my shoulder. What did he mean, 'That's enough.'? Of course it wasn't enough, I needed more . . . I wasn't even started. "Son, stop." He said, with a concerned but stern voice. I couldn't, it was impossible, improbable.

"Edward. She's lost too much blood already. Please stop!" Alice chimed. "I'm going to be really mad if you kill her, Edward. I know you can stop."

I wasn't going to stop; I couldn't until she had no more to give. I looked at Bella's whitening face, her eyes were foggy. She was so beautiful, even in death. I had to stop, I had to. There was no maybe in the decision. I forced my teeth out of her neck, and fell onto the floor, holding my mouth with my hand. I took deep breaths and steadied myself. I looked at Carlisle; he had a face of admiration.

"You did well, my son. She is changing as we speak." I looked at Bella. Her neck had scarred over, she was twitching frantically. Every twitch made her face construe from the pain of her broken bones. Her right arm, which was resting on her stomach wobbled to the ground, it hit the side of the couch, and she screamed in pain. Little bursts of blood splattered on the couch where the shards had poked through her arm.

We needed somewhere bigger than my couch, somewhere where her body could move without hurting itself. I needed a bed, a mattress . . . anything.

"We need something to lay her on, something like a mattress. Do we have anything?" I asked the people standing in the room. Carlisle and Alice were still present, but Esme and Rosalie had walked in, Rosalie standing in the doorway had a shocked expression.

"Cushions from the couches. We could lay them on the floor, making a makeshift mattress of sorts." Alice said. She had walked closer to Bella; her eyes were half here and half in the future. She was looking for a problem in the plan I had in my head. Keeping Bella quiet during this was going to be the hardest part.

Alice flitted from by my side out into the hallway, taking Esme and Rosalie with her. Carlisle stayed by my side, watching me carefully.

Alice and Esme brought up armfuls of the cushions from around the house. They laid them on the floor and then laid table cloths over them, making a way around our lack of sheets. I carefully picked Bella up and laid her on the cushions. She was still thrashing about, her breath coming in uneven gasps. Her heart was beating frantically, trying to push the venom throughout her body.

Rosalie stepped in the room, her hands full of bottles and a roll of paper towels. Esme took a spray bottle and the paper towels and took to wiping the blood off of my couch. She sprayed bleach on it to take the bloody stains off. Alice was picking up my bloody clothes off the floor, and she slipped off Bella's shoes, for what reason I don't know why. Her skin was unscathed on her feet, the only perfect spot left on her body. I looked at her feet; just thinking about how that was what the rest of her would look like when this is done. Perfect.

"Edward. Why don't you go clean up, she'll be here, we'll make sure that nothing happens to her." Esme said, eyeing my bare, blood streaked chest. I couldn't leave Bella now.

I shook my head, declining.

"Edward, you look atrocious. You need to clean yourself up, plus it will make this a lot easier on all of us, not having to look at your bloody body this entire time." Alice yelled at me, always the annoying little sister. I turned to look at her, she was right. All of their eyes, except for Carlisle's, were black as the night with thirst. Even mine, as I saw in the reflection in the window.

I got up slowly and walked out of the room, glancing back occasionally at Bella. I walked into the hallway bathroom and turned on the shower, which we normally never used. I looked at myself fully in the mirror, looking like I had killed Bella myself. Blood was streaked across my body, and my face. My throat started to burn just looking at myself. I turned away and stepped into the steaming hot shower.
