Sorry for the wait, my grandpa is super sick and things have been hectic. (I'm in the process of moving to Arizona,) Now, without further adieu….. Chapter four!
Time passed so slowly, if at all. Minutes felt like days and hours felt like weeks. I felt like I was being burned alive from the inside out. Once Carlisle bit me, all I could feel was the pain. Everything was on fire. I thought I was screaming, but I could hear no sound. I was too frightened to open my eyes in fear that the fire truly was around me. I would have gone mad if it weren't for the cool hands I could feel on my face, neck and arms.
When at last I had the courage to open my eyes, despite the pain it caused me I could see my angelic family all standing there, never leaving my side. Then, another wave of pain hit me. This time it felt like all my bones were breaking and re-forming into stronger better versions of the old ones.
But suddenly it was as if someone hit a pause button. Everything just stopped, but it seemed to be in slow motion. I started to sit up, but my heart felt as is suddenly a cord had been tightened around it. I gasped as it started beating faster and faster, I thought I would explode from the pain. Then everything was silent, my heart had ceased its beating. I slowly opened my eyes to the new world around me.
When I opened my eyes everyone was there. They all looked so worried. "It's okay," I said and gasped. My once plain voice now seemed melodic and beautiful. Everyone smiled at me when they realized I was fine. "Hey Jessie, do you want to see how beautiful you look?" piped Alice to my left. I didn't realize that my looks would change.
"Sure," I smiled then I hopped off the bed, wait hopped? I looked down and sure enough I was standing on my own two feet. "Oh my gosh!" I started screeching. "I'm not paralyzed anymore!" I couldn't top smiling and jumping around like an idiot. Esme came over and put a hand on my shoulder, "careful dear you don't want to create a hole in the floor." I looked down to see that there was a dent in the floor where I was standing. "Oops," I giggled, "I guess I don't know my own strength."
"Can we get a move on?" said Rosalie who was standing next to Alice in the doorway. "sure, sure," I said. I walked over to the mirror and was astounded by what I saw.
My once dull auburn hair seemed to almost glow. There was a permanent flush to my cheeks that made me look more human than I ever had when I was sick. I was still pale, but then again all vampires were pale. My skin was wonderfully blemished free and tight. I had muscles and curves. I was feeling pretty darn good about myself. That is until I saw my eyes. I was told they would be red, but it was still a shock. I could almost see a fire raging in my eyes. I turned around to smile at everyone and tell them my thanks when the thirst hit me.
I thought someone had suddenly taken all the liquid out of my body. My throat was so dry. "I need some water," I gasped. The Cullens just looked at me sadly. "Dear," said Esme," Nothing can stop the thirst, except for blood. Emmett can take you hunting, he's very good."
"Okay," I said "can we go now? This pain is almost unbearable"
"Sure thing Jess," said Emmett, "let me just go change and we can leave."
My first hunting trip was about to happen little did I know that it would change the course of my life forever.
Emmett and I ran to the woods. It is still an amazing feeling to be able to use my legs. Emmett said we would just get a couple deer today and we could get some bigger game when the whole family went on a "camping" trip.
I was just getting into the whole "hunting" mood, when Emmett tackled me to the ground covering my mouth and nose. He told me to stop breathing and stay where I was. I was too freaked out not to listen to hi. I had been waiting about five minutes when Emmett came rushing back to where I was.
"What was that all about?" I asked him.
"There were some humans not too far away, being a newborn you would have attacked them on instinct. No matter what your conscience told them. I can't believe you didn't though. One of them had a cut and it was hard for me to contain myself. Didn't you smell anything that seemed really good?"
"No, I did smell something that smelled really gross. It was kind of like rust and salt. It made me want to gag."
"Oh my god, I think you have a resistance to blood Jessie. I mean, why else would you not have killed those poor people?"
"It would make sense, especially since I really don't like blood. With the whole blood disease thing, it's not something I want to think about."
"Wow, this is amazing. We have to tell Carlisle about this."
"If you don't mind I'll just stay here and find a deer or something. The thirst is really bothering e and I want to see if I even like animal blood or if I have an aversion to that too."
"Okay works for me. Come back to the house when you're ready, I know everyone will have tons of questions for you."
I wandered through the forest until I spotted a deer. I ran up to it, quickly but silently. I just wanted to get it over with, so I bit into its neck. I could feel the warm liquid running into my mouth but I found it disgusting. Not wanting another taste I spit it out on the ground. Sadly the venom on my teeth had already killed the pathetic deer. I was confused though, why did I have to be the different vampire? Maybe I still had human needs when it came to nourishing me.
To test my new theory, I jogged over to the nearest stream and took up a mouthful of water. The cool water instantly relieved the pain in my throat. I couldn't stop drinking the wonderful liquid. I must have been really dehydrated. "Wow, you must really be thirsty," a beautiful voice said from behind me.
Hahaha you thought it was over didn't you? Well it's not I wanted to be ice and make the chapter long since it has been forever since I updated last.
I turned around to see a beautiful bronze man with long black hair and dark eyes behind me. But, something was wrong, the moment he saw my eyes he just freaked out. "No, no, this can't be happening!" he said repeatedly. "I finally imprint, and it's with you?"
"Imprint? You mean like what werewolves do?"
"Yup," he said sarcastically.
"But you don't smell disgusting! Carlisle said I would know if I ever ran into a werewolf because they would smell horrible to me. But you actually smell, really good."
"That's weird," he muttered, "you don't smell bad to me either. I thought you were a lost camper at first, At least, until you turned around. Then I saw your eyes… You're a new born aren't you?"
"Yeah, I was living with Carlisle Cullen, he was my doctor, I was going to die soon because of the blood disease I had. The Cullens then told me about what they were and we made a decision to turn me. But I'm different from the others,"
"In what way?" the strange boy/werewolf asked. He seemed to be at ease with me. And I with him. Something was happening between us and I wasn't exactly sure if it was a good thing.
"I find blood repulsive," I replied.
He looked shocked at first, then happy. "So you would never drink blood? Not even from an animal/"
"No, not at all. But, I wanted to ask you about the imprinting thing."
"yes." He almost looked nervous.
"Doesn't that mean, I'm like your soul mate? Don't you have intense feelings for me?"
"well yeah. That sums it up pretty well." He was moving closer to me now. I wanted so bad to close the gap between us. It was like a magnet was pulling us closer and closer together. Suddenly his warm hand was on my cold cheek. He leaned in closer then abruptly pulled away and looked behind him. "Some of your kind is coming," he said regretfully," I should get out of here."
"Will I see you again?" I asked.
"Of course, meet me here tomorrow around sunrise." Then he gently stroked my cheek and started to walk away.
"wait!" I called, "You might want to know, my name is Jessie. I don't know yours though."
"Jacob," he said, "my name is Jacob."
