Impossible Love

A young woman stood before me. She was stunningly beautiful, her skin as white as snow with her glowing brown hair trailing behind her. Her facial features were too gorgeous to be true and her lean body could outshine any brilliant model.

I touched my lips, she touched hers. My hand moved to feel my skin, and she did the same. It was impossible to be true; she couldn't possibly be my reflection. Then I saw it: her eyes. Although they were golden, they were unmistakably Charlie's eyes. My eyes.

Smiling in satisfaction, I uttered the most conceited word that best fit my description: perfect. But no matter how hard I tried, no sound would come out of my mouth. The new Bella in front of me looked troubled, worried, and afraid that her existence was a mistake, something too far from reality. Then, within a terrifying second, she disappeared and my old form replaced her, crying like a lost child. I tried to scream but I couldn't so I began to sob miserably instead and my tears put out an invisible flame.

My pain subsided quickly and I could now make out voices nearby.

"I am a monster. Why did I listen to Bella?"

Edward's voice. I wanted to run into his arms and tell him that he could never be a monster because he was my guardian angel. But I was too weak to even open my eyes so I decided to wait until strength entered my body.

"You shouldn't blame yourself, Edward. Bella must've known what she was doing. It might be better this way," Alice spoke for me. She hadn't been there when Edward transformed me. How much time had passed while I was unconscious? An hour, a day? Was my change complete?

Edward moaned. "I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have," he murmured mostly to himself, ignoring Alice's comment. "And I say that I love her!" He laughed bitterly like a madman. "I don't deserve to live!"

I couldn't take any more of his suffering. Yearning to go and ease his pain, I opened my eyes with all the strength I could muster. My vision was the same as before. Weren't vampires supposed to have excellent eyesight?

"Edward," the word escaped in a hoarse whisper. I felt so fragile that I thought I would break into pieces at a single touch.

"Bella!" the two vampires yelled in shock. In an instant, I was wrapped in Edward's arms and Alice stared at me with a curious expression from only inches away.

Why wasn't I keeping up with their lightening-fast motions?

"Edward…" I mumbled into his cold marble chest.

His arms loosened. He gave me a wide smile.

I tried to smile back at him but my attempt was swallowed by my anxiety. "How long have I been out?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"Five minutes."

Five minutes. Transformations lasted for days.

Forgetting my tiredness, I freed myself from Edward and looked wildly around. I found a mirror inside the room and ran in front of it.

There was no perfect woman. There was only me, the old Bella Swan that I remembered so well.

Everything felt the same.

Everything was the same.

Everything was so wrong.

I screamed and this time, I could definitely hear myself. Edward rushed to my side and I began to sob uncontrollably on his shoulder.

Why wasn't I changed? Why didn't Edward's poison work on me? Why was I different? What was wrong with me?

"Bella, love, what's wrong?" Edward whispered in my ear, worried.

Couldn't he see what was wrong? "Edward, what's the matter with me? Why am I the same?" I asked through my cries.

He remained silent.

Soon, I was calm enough to stand still without shaking so much. Still breathing hard, I looked over to Alice who had been watching me and Edward the whole time with troubled eyes.

"Alice," I spoke with my trembling voice. She knew I was seeking her help.

"Bella," she said softly, "everything's going to be okay."

I glanced at Edward and he was trying his best to look happy. Nothing was going to be okay. Nothing ever worked out smoothly for us.

"Oh," Alice cried, her face going blank for a second. "Carlisle's here."

Yes, Carlisle was here. He would tell me what was wrong. He would surely fix the problem.

Soon enough, the strikingly handsome young doctor opened the door, not bothering to close it behind him. The sight of me with puffy, red eyes seemed to take him by surprise.

"Bella?" he said. He looked at Edward then Alice. "Is everything alright?"

No! I wanted to yell. No! No! No!

Edward spoke before I could respond, "Carlisle, is it possible for a human to be immune to vampire poison?"

"Why, Bella—?" He searched me and I put a hand over the newly formed moon-shaped scar on my neck. He gasped.

Recollecting himself, he said, "I don't think any human can be immune to something so strong."

Great. I wasn't even human anymore.

"Edward," I heard myself beg,"bite me again. Just in case…"

"Bella…" Edward looked pained.

We all stood quietly, Carlisle deep in thought, Alice searching for answers in the future, and Edward trying to figure out what had gone wrong.

It was all very clear now. The world was against us. Edward and I couldn't be together. This love, this passion so strong, was impossible. It had been like that from the moment we met. No miracle could change our destiny.

"Urgh," Alice suddenly groaned, breaking the silence. "Stupid dog."

Edward snarled under his breath with bitter sarcasm, "Perfect timing."

Carlisle seemed to have lost his train of thought and stared out the open door.

Even with my human sight, I could make out a giant entering the same church that held my wedding only moments ago. I held my breath and my dark frown turned into a genuine smile.

Jacob had decided to come to the wedding after all.
