Why?! Why was this happening, how could this be happening to me. Janelle, my beloved, was dying in my arms. Words echoed inside my head, I didn't know their meaning. I only caught the last verse.

"Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse

I belong,

I belong, to you, alone"

I realized it was a song, but in a different language. I looked at Janelle was I hearing her thoughts or something?

"Janelle is that you?"I asked. The verse repeated itself.

"Janelle?!" I asked again. She began to lift up her hand I held it in one of mine.

"Tanner," she whispered, "I belong to you."Then her figure went limp in my arms. I could feel her pulse, but it was slowing fast. Suddenly anger flared inside of me. How could I just sit here and watch her slip away from me! Isn't there something I could do!

I stopped. *epiphany!*

I could help her, I could save her. I could change her, turn her into a vampire. But the change was supposed to be really painful I'm probably going to feel guilty forever but, I'm out of time. Slowly l bent over, and held my lips above her neck for one moment. What if I couldn't control myself? But like I said, I'm definetly , out of time. So I just bit her and hoped for the best.

The venom that was already in my mouth surged into her body. Her heart rate picked up, and I knew there was no going back now. Quickly I pulled my head back, a searing burn had just flared in my throat. I wasn't sure what to do now. I couldn't just sit here in the snow, but I didn't have anywhere to go. I didn't even know where we were. I decided to take look around. Still holding Janelle I stood up. She was whimpering softly, and I realized if she started screaming someone would find us out here. I really shouldn't have bit her, but she was going to die. What else could I have done? Maybe this is a dream? It could be, I mean we were in a damn book!

I wandered aimlessly through the forest, Jenelle's cries were getting louder, but still not loud enough to attract attention. I knew this couldn't be Forks, there were way too many people . I seemed to be on the outskirts of the city, I saw a sign next to the road. It read, Welcome To Alaska. Alaska? So it must be before they went to Forks .But I'd never even been outside of Sherwood, much less across the continent!

"Look Jenelle we're in Alaska."

Janelle's reply was another whimper, I cringed. Each time she cried out I felt like knives were stabbing me. I went back into the forest. Absent mindedly, I began talking to her. I told her how sorry I was, and told her that it would be over soon enough. I talked about how confused I was right now. I asked a lot of rhetorical questions like: why do you think we're here anyway? Every time she wailed in pain I felt like I had to make it up to her somehow. I began telling her about my life before her. How blank and empty my life used to feel. I told her she was my whole world and that I could never let her go. And that I felt so selfish for putting her through all this.

, mansion, and w Eventually I just decided to sit down again. After a few hours I heard footsteps behind me. I didn't run, someone would've found us eventually. I felt hand on my shoulder,

"Hello there son," a man said. I turned to see a face I immedietly recognized. Carlislie Cullen, the Carlisle Cullen. Behind him I picked out Alice, Jasper, and Edward Cullen. I wondered what they were doing here, but then I realized it was their book.

"Hi," I mumbled. Janelle let out low moan, and I clutched her closer.

"You better come with us," said Carlisle. I guessed Alice saw this coming, that's why they weren't asking questions. I followed them to their house-uh mansion, and went inside. Janelle's hands were tightly grasping my shirt. Alice bounced over and introduced herself, she really did have pixie like qualities. Of course, me being fourteen I was about the same height as her.

"You can put her on the couch," Alice told me. I had to pry Janelle's fingers off of my shirt before gently laying her down. I looked out the window and saw the sun suddenly come from behind the clouds.

"So who are you anyway?" Alice asked. I realized then that we needed a cover story, no one would believe the real thing. Using my new vampire mind I quickly thought of a tale to explain how we got here. I had to describe about the attack, why we were with a vampire in the first place, and why my eyes were golden already . All this took a half a second to think.

" I'm Tanner ,"I said, "and uh-that's Janelle," I indicated to the girl on the couch. But she isn't just some girl. I was disgusted I could even think something like that. All of a sudden my feelings for her grew, I remembered why I changed her, why it was absolutely necessary.

"Umm Tanner?"Alice snapped me out of my thoughts,"

"Oh, what?"

"How were you changed?"

"Well, me and Janelle lived in California but where kidnapped by some insane man. He took us here, to Alaska, and changed me. He told us all about vampires and drinking blood, but I never wanted to kill humans. He talked about other covens that lived here and drank animal blood, so that's what I began hunting. We were held captive until I learned he was going to kill Janelle, there was a huge fight and we barely escaped with our lives." she listened intently through the whole story.

"And you changed her?"she finished. I nodded. "You had enough control?"`

"Yeah , I guess I did."

"She'll be alright now, if I was her I'd be very grateful." Then she popped up and left the room, without another word.

"Strange pixie," I muttered.

"I heard that ," came a call from the stairs. I chuckled, and my gaze went back to Janelle. I went over and sat by her side. I knew that's where I'd always be, or at least I hoped.
