Chapter 4: Newborn Tyler

Tyler's POV

I writhed in agony for what seemed like an eternity before I felt the pain slowly start to fade away. As it started to fade it seemed like the pain was concentrating on one vital organ in my body; my heart.

The fire was searing through my veins as my heart pumped harder and faster against it. My heart stuttered twice before stopping completely.

I opened my eyes and I was shocked at the clarity of my vision. What happened to me? I could hear people talking in the distance, like suddenly my hearing was magnified.

I looked around the unfamiliar room and saw several people that I had never seen before. One of them looked exactly like me. They were all looking at me like they were expecting me to do something crazy.

"Who are you?" I asked. The blonde one was the one to answer "I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme, and my adopted kids Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella and their daughter Renesmee. We are the Cullens" he said. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Tyler Hawkins" I said.

"There are several things we have to discuss Tyler. First of all how is your throat feeling?" he asked. "It's burning a lot" I said. "That's normal for what you are now" he said. "What am I?" I asked. "Look in the mirror" he said.

I did as he told me and I was shocked. My skin was so pale, and my eyes were blood red.

"What happened to me?" I asked. "I saved you by turning you into a vampire" the girl named Bella said. "Vampire?" I asked. "Yes, that burning you feel is a thirst for blood" Carlisle explained.

"Why are my eyes red and yours gold?" I asked. "The red color is their because your human blood lingers in your tissues. They will stay red if you feed on humans or turn gold if you feed on animals" he said.

Feed on humans? No, I will never do that. I can't kill anybody. "You have a choice, you can stay with our family or go off on your own. We ask that if you choose to stay with us that you feed on animals. We don't hurt humans" he said. "I'll stay with you guys. I don't won't to kill people so I have no problems with your diet" I said.

We can teach you everything about being a vampire, but first you need to hunt he said.

I enjoyed the speed, the strength, everything about being a vampire. The Cullens hunted with me to make sure they could stop me if I went after any human.

The most basic rule about being a vampire is that you cannot under any circumstances reveal our world to a human, not even by accident. You and the human would be in grave danger from the Volturi" Carlisle said. "What's a Volturi?" I asked. "They are basically vampire royalty. They enforce the law with no exceptions. Break that law and they might just kill you. They would want the human dead too, or to become a vampire" Edward explained. "Okay. This means I can't ever see my family again though. I won't be able to see Ally or Caroline. Ally is the girl I'm in love with, and Caroline is my sister" I said. "Unfortunately you can't" Carlisle words just shattered my unbeating heart.

Throughout the following months I learned a lot of things about vampires and I really enjoyed my vampire life. There was something missing though. My feelings for Ally were hugely magnified after my transformation. I also missed Caroline, my mom, my dad, heck, I even missed Aidan.

I was talking with Carlisle one day about five months after when something happened. Ally, Caroline and someone who was with them were in danger. I don't know how I knew but I did. I suddenly knew their exact location to. "I have to go Carlisle! My Family is in danger! They need me now!" I shouted frantically. "What are you saying?" he asked. "I need to go to them now!" I shouted. "Tyler wait...!" he shouted but it was too late, I was already off to save my girls and whoever was with them. The last thing I heard Carlisle say was "He's got a gift. He's a protector"

I had learned all about vampire's extra gifts. Carlisle believed that our strongest traits were enhanced as vampires and some became extra gifts. I was always extremely protective of the people I cared about. That's why I defended Caroline from those girls at school a few months ago. No one messed with the people I loved and got away with it. Maybe I had a gift; which told me when someone I loved needed protecting.

I got to the alley and I saw that several men were robbing them at gun point. I also noticed that Ally was pregnant. It looked like they had gone shopping for baby stuff. One of the man cocked the gun threateningly before screaming "Hand over everything now" They dropped their wallets and just clung onto each other. "I said everything!" the man shouted indicating to their bags.

I ran over there at human pace and I grabbed the man by the throat strangling the oxygen from his lungs. "Get the hell away from them now! How dare you! How dare all of you. All of you are lowlife pieces of scum for threatening a kid and a pregnant woman. You guys are not even man enough to threaten someone who has a chance of fighting back!" I growled. I threw the man onto the floor and they all scurried away like the rats they are.

"Tyler?" Ally said questioningly. I turned around slowly. "Tyler! Oh Tyler it is you!" Caroline and Ally shouted happily before running up to me. "How are you alive? Why are you so cold and pale? Why do you have gold eyes?" Ally and Caroline kept asking. "I'm afraid I can't tell you" I said. "I guess it doesn't matter! You're back!" Ally said. I eyed her baby bump before she said "I'm pregnant with your daughter Tyler"

"I'm going to be a dad?" I asked. "Yes you are" she said. I felt myself smiling from ear to ear before I picked her up and kissed her. I rested my hand on her stomach and I felt my daughter kick my hand gently. I would cry if I could.

I couldn't help but ask myself 'What am I going to do now? How will I keep the secret now, because everyone would find out that I'm alive now'
