"Bella," Edwards soft voice whispered, "are you sure you want to do this?" I nodded my head vigorously. Edward had asked this question a million times, and each time my answere was the same.
Of course I wanted him to change me. Of course I wanted to be with him to be the one to change me.
Of course I wanted to be with him forever. Edwards golden eyes were filled with indecision, and even a little pain. I knew that he had an internal battle raging, about whether or not he was willing to get rid of my soul for his own selfish purposes (or that's what he thought any way.) I, on the other hand, knew that Edward still had a soul, and that I would still have a soul after he changed me.
My mind flew back to earth when edwards cold lips brushed across my warm ones. He drew away before I was ready for him to, and took my hand. "Carlisle told me how much morphine to give you, so the pain shouldn't be nearly as bad as it was for the rest of us. I'll be with you the whole time, Bella. I promise."
He sighed deeply, obviously he had more to say. "Bella, you can still change your mind, you know. I will love you forever, even if you aren't a vampire. My love for you will not ever end."
"I know, Edward," I whispered, "but I've made up my mind, and I know that this is what I want. I know what I'm giving up, but I also know what I'm gaining. I'm gaining eternety with you. And even though I'm losing some things, it's still worth it because of you. That's how important you are to me, Edward." I met his gaze, trying to read his smoldering golden eyes. He nodded, and took out a needle, filling it with a clear liquid.
I laid down on the bed, and he injected the liquid into my arm. It stung, but I knew that I would be greatful for the medication in the days to come.
Giving me one last kiss, Edward leaned down to bite me.
Edwards POV I had asked Bella, pleaded with her even, to change her mind about becoming a vampire. She deserved so much more than the life I could give her, she could do so much better than me.
Of course, I was happy that Bella and I was would be together forever, because I loved her with all of my existence, but I just wish that she didn't have to lose her soul in the processe.
I leaned down to kiss bella, feeling her warm lips on my cold ones for the last time. I slowly brought my lips closer to her neck, closer to the moment that would change her entire life. I paused for a moment right above the tender skin on her neck, then opened my mouth, and bit her.
I bit Bella. I bit the love of my life. Bella's body went rigid, and she started whimpering. I could tell that she was in pain, but I couldn't tell how much. I waited there, beside her bed, for the rest of the night.
It was not until that moring that she first started to become more agonized. The morphine was starting to wear off, and Carlisle had told me not to give her more. We didn't know what the side effects would be. It broke my nonexistent heart to hear her pain, to see the agonized look on her face, but still I sat there, determined that I would keep my promise to her, that I would not leave her for the three days that she needed me the most.
