"We shouldn't have done that!"
"We had no other choice; she would have died otherwise."
"What if she didn't want this life?!"
"We made a decision to keep our mate alive, now we have to follow through with it!"
"We could have healed her, let her live as a human until she could make the choice!"
"Rosalie!" Tanya growled, tired of the argument. "Did you not see the state she was in? There was no way she would have survived that! She was practically dead when we found her!"
Rosalie snarled. "Carlisle is one of the best doctors, he would have found a way!"
Tanya threw her hands up, standing from the chair next to Bella's bedside and left the room. "I'm done arguing with you. There was no other choice and you know it. I couldn't lose our mate and neither could you, stop being so stubborn. What's done is done!" She shouted, leaving the room.
Rosalie scowled at her mate, knowing that deep down she felt the same as Tanya, but her own turning wasn't an easy one. If she had been given the choice, she wouldn't have chosen this lifestyle for herself, but thankfully she had met Tanya a few years after her turning and Tanya had made it easier.
Turning to the bed, she looked over the brunnette. Bella was indeed on the brink of death and they had been too late to stop the nomad vampire; the damage had been done long before they had chance to get there.
Bella was laid on the bed in the spare bedroom of the Cullen clan's mansion, her wounds healing thanks to the venom repairing the damage done, but she still looked so broken laid there, completely unmoving and silent. Rosalie had never seen a vampire transition where the individual wasn't in agonising pain..
She sighed, sitting down on the edge of the bed and gently letting her fingertips caress Bella's cheek. She didn't want this for her; she should have atleast had the choice.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, leaning down and placing a kiss against Bella's forehead before pulling back and leaving the bedroom. The change would be finished soon.
Walking down the hallway and stairs, she found herself in the Cullen's living room. Emmett was playing his video games and Alice and Jasper were curled up on the couch together. She guessed Esme and Carlisle were out.
"Tanya went hunting in the next town over." Emmett said, his eyes meeting Rosalie's. He gently nodded his head to the side and Rosalie sat next to him. "I know you didn't want this, but Tanya is right Rosie. Bella would be dead if you both didn't change her and losing your mate is like losing yourself. You and Tanya have each other, but you both need Bella."
Rosalie clenched her jaw and fisted her hair in frustration. "I know." She said. "This wasn't how it was supposed to be." She sighed, leaning her head on Emmett's shoulder.
Emmett paused his game, placing a comforting hand around Rosalie's shoulder. "Rosalie; you saved my life. You found me and let Carlisle turn me. I didn't have a choice then, just like Bella I was more or less dead. You helped give me this life and look at us, even without having a choice of my own I'm glad I got to be turned because me and you are best friends, I have a family and a life. I'm sure Bella wanted a better life than what she had before."
Rosalie growled lowly. "But she should have decided on what to do about that, not be forced into it."
"Rosalie," Emmett sighed, turning to look into Rosalie's crimson eyes with his own amber. "If Bella had died because you didn't turn her, you wouldn't have been able to live with yourself. I know it wasn't ideal, but she's yours and Tanya's mate and you did what was best for your mate. Stop being stubborn."
Rosalie wanted to scream, cry and punch something all at the same time. She knew that this was the only option, and she was glad she had helped change Bella to save her life, but her past just kept coming back to haunt her. She didn't want to feel this way, she really didn't, but it's just how she's always been and truthfully, she didn't want Bella going through the pain of changing.
"You're right," She relented, deciding to just let it go for now. "I'm sorry Em."
Emmett's face broke into his normal grin. "I'm not the one you need to apologise to." He said, turning back to his game.
Rosalie nodded. Tanya never took too long hunting, usually just grabbing a few blood bags to make it easier.
Deciding to kill time, she played a few games with Emmett until Tanya returned.
Tanya closed her eyes, letting out a deep breath as she parked her black Audi A8 in the Cullen's driveway. She really hated fighting with Rosalie, especially when they did it so rarely over petty things, but she hoped Rosalie could see it from her point of view.
Bella is their mate, she was going to die so they changed her in order to save her. Yes, it wasn't the original plan of getting to know the girl and seducing her, but they didn't have a choice.
Getting out of the car and walking up the porch stairs, she entered the Cullen mansion after taking a deep breath. She squared her shoulders and walked in, expecting Rosalie to argue again when she saw the blonde get off of the couch, but was delightfully surprised when Rosalie wrapped her arms around her.
Tanya let her arms snake around the other blonde's waist, holding her tight as Rosalie nuzzled her neck.
"I'm really sorry for earlier." Rosalie whispered, breathing in Tanya's comforting scent.
Tanya smiled; it was rare the blonde ever apologised. "It's alright because later we're having really good makeup sex." Tanya winked, pulling back and sauntering upstairs to check on Bella.
She leaned against the door frame, gazing at her mate. "You're awake." She said, tilting her head at the bright crimson eyes looking at her.
Bella blinked, trying to adjust to everything. It was all the same, but different. Everything had more details and was enhanced and she was very confused. "I am." She said, surprised her voice was slightly deeper than before. "What happened?"
Tanya walked into the room, standing at the foot of the bed and saw Bella's eyes darken at her close proximity and she tried to hide her smirk knowing the girl was slightly aroused. "You were attacked and on the brink of death, me and Rosalie found you and managed to turn you in time to save you."
"Turn me?" Bella repeated, tilting her head in confusion.
Tanya smiled at the newborn. "Yes, you're a vampire now."
"Hm." Bella hummed, not sure what to say. She couldn't really remember much of that night, but she figured it would come back to her eventually.
To say she had just been told she was now a vampire, Bella wasn't really that surprised. She knew Tanya wasn't ordinary, neither was her wife Rosalie, but she figured they were just weird, not vampires. She also certainly didn't expect to be a vampire herself.
"What are you thinking?" Tanya whispered, her eyes meeting Bella's in a head on stare with a curious expression on her face.
"It's weird; everything is the same, but at the same time it's not. I'm a vampire now, but what about graduation or college? Working even? Friends, family, what? What am I supposed to do? And why does my throat hurt?" Bella asked, sitting up on the bed and touching her throat. It burned.
Tanya took the bag she had off of her shoulder, opening it and grabbing a blood bag. She turned to Bella and was seriously surprised that she hadn't tackled her to the ground and drained the bag already. "You're a strange newborn." She chuckled, tossing the bag to Bella.
Quickly catching it, Bella guffawed. "Whoa! Did you see that?" She questioned, her eyes wide at catching the bag so fast. "That was cool!"
Tanya shook her head at this girl; strange indeed. "Drink up and me and Rosalie will talk to you about being a vampire, okay?" She said, turning to go get Rosalie.
Bella's face soured at that. "Oh yeah...Your wife..." She whispered.
Tanya raised an eyebrow, but didn't breach the subject knowing she had had more contact with Bella than Rosalie had and Bella still had no idea about a vampires life. "Don't worry about that Bella, I'm sure you'll understand soon."
Bella watched the blonde leave before looking back at the bag in her hands. If she were human then she would be revolted by the idea of drinking blood, right? So why was it that this blood made every part of her body hum in need? Is it because she's a vampire now, since vampires need it to live?
Deciding to just wait until Tanya and Rosalie came back to explain things, she gently opened the bag and took a tentative gulp, moaning at the taste. She quickly took a few more gulps, and a few more until the bag was finally drained and she sighed, the burn in her throat not as strong, but more like a small itch now.
Stretching out her body and standing from the bed, she went into the bathroom, yelping when she saw herself. She looked at herself, taking in her new appearance. Although she more or less looked the same, she could definitely tell that a few things were different and they made her look like a stunning model. She didn't look like plain Bella, she looked like hot damn Bella.
"Bella," Tanya called, entering the bedroom with Rosalie in tow, their hands intertwined.
Leaving the bathroom, Bella looked up and noted the two blondes. A feeling quickly punched her in the face when her eyes locked onto Rosalie's, a mind in her voice screaming 'mate' at her. She wanted to pull the blonde in her arms, wanted to make love and fuck her senseless, wanted to give her the world or anything she desired and the list just went on and on.
"W-What was that?" She stuttered, noting the two blondes looking at her rather amusedly. She tried to subtly adjust her dick in her pants.
"That was what we call a mating bond. It's what happens when you meet your mate." Tanya said, giggling at Bella's readjusting.
"I-" Bella started, completely baffled. "I don't understand this..." She sighed.
Tanya walked forwards and sat Bella on the edge of the bed and moved to sit on the 2 seater couch Rosalie had moved into place for them. Both blondes sat down and looked at Bella.
"Okay, I'll explain some things first." Tanya started, giving Rosalie's cheek a kiss before giving Bella her full attention. "Vampires do actually exist, I know, surprising but we're proof. You are now a vampire. Do you know what they are?" Tanya asked.
Bella squinted her eyes. "Like that holy water, turning to ash in sun kinda things?" She said, making both Tanya and Rosalie laugh out loud at her. She pouted.
"That's all false stuff made up by silly people. We are vampires; we feed off of blood to live, we have strong strength, tough skin and we are smart creatures. You can probably tell all of your senses have been enhanced, your looks have changed to be more alluring to lure in prey since we're predators and you can now move around without limitations. You also have a gift, we don't know what it is, but we will soon. You are what we call a newborn because you've just recently turned, but you will be most powerful in the next 1-2 years, stronger than the rest of us. Your thirst for blood will be unbearable, your actions feeding uncontrollable, your strength unable to be contained and on and on, but considering you've just woken up from your change you're handling this really well. Your control is impeccable." Tanya started.
"We don't turn to ash in sun, but it does weaken us considerably after long exposure to it. We can eat and drink normal stuff if we want to, but we have to sustain enough blood to make sure our bodies properly control it. We can sleep, once again as long as we balance our diet. We can basically do the same stuff as humans can, only we're stronger and have more abilities as long as we have a healthy diet." Rosalie finished.
Bell nodded, understanding that.
"Now you know what you are and what you can do, next is mating bonds. As you can tell, Rosalie and I are mates." Tanya said, watching Bella's heartbroken look before quickly interjecting. "However, you are also our mate. All 3 of us are mates." She hurriedly said.
Bella was silent, frowning. "So you, me and Rosalie are all mates?" She asked after a minute.
"Yes." Both Tanya and Rosalie said at the same time.
"What are mates and why didn't I feel that earth shattering feeling with you, Tanya?" Bella said, confused again.
"Vampires have mates, in other words, mates are like soulmates. You are destined to be together no matter what. Some vampires find their mates, others do not. It's not exactly rare, but it's also not overly common with our kind. Vampires consummate their mating bond with sex and a bite mark to 'claim' your mate to show other vampires that you're mated. In the vampire world, messing with mates is considered one of the worst things you can do." Rosalie answered.
"As for why you had that feeling with Rosalie and not me is because we shared that feeling when we locked eyes at the club in Port Angeles and since me being around you more than Rosalie has, it wasn't as big of a realisation because every time we looked at each other, we both felt it, we just had more time to get used to it and since you were human it kind of dulls the big feeling." Tanya said, answering Bella's question.
"Oh."
They all sat in silence for a few minutes, Rosalie and Tanya letting Bella absorb the information given to her.
"Anything else I should know?" Bella finally asked, picking at the holes in her pants.
"Vampires are governed by a very large coven called the Volturi; they are basically royalty with a lot of gifted vampires that make sure that the vampire race isn't exposed to humans. We have 3 Queen rulers who make the decisions and all of the rest are guards. We follow the rules that they set. They are a force to be reckoned with and drawing their attention is the worse possible thing you could do." Rosalie added, looking to Tanya to finish things off.
"The only other thing we can tell you about is how this will affect your life, everything else you'll learn along the way. You graduate high school in 2 weeks and I can tell you have some rather good restraint when around blood, but we'll need to work on that so you don't go berserk and kill everyone. Being a vampire isn't going to change your life; you can still do everything you planned to do originally like college and working and stuff. I do suggest that after you graduate, we relocate to my old coven in Alaska so you can learn your control without any problems, just until you can bear being around everything without going insane." Tanya finished off.
"That everything I need to know?"
"Pretty much." Rosalie answered.
"I guess it's all good then." Bella nodded, a small smile pulling up at her lips while she looked at the two blondes. 'I'm one lucky motherfucker.' She thought.
