My Bella oh how she has changed. Her chocolate eyes taken over by cold steel, emotionless. My family is still trying to calm Jasper down after he exerted himself to no avail.

"Edward, oh Edward I am so sorry if I had any idea I would have told you. I honestly believed that she was dead" Alice, my sister who had not talked to me in seventy years sobbed into my chest. She had just seen the best friend she had ever had turned into a heartless monster. I had killed my love so much more efficiently than death ever could.

Edward, Alice come to me.

Alice and I stared at each other in horror as we realized we had no choice but to follow the summoning. As we entered a hidden exit Bel… no she is no longer Bella; Isabella stood indifferently with the monster Victoria at her side.

Follow me, and do not interfere.

We followed. The Lady stood outside a new hospital the sign said "Voltura's treatment and diagnostic Hospice" Alice and I stared at each other with dawning horror as we realized what the Lady was going to do next. As we walked by a mirror I noticed for the first time that Victoria's eyed were not the crimson I come to expect but a topaz much like my own. The Lady seemed to have been wearing blue contacts to be a little more inconspicuous. She walked down the hall as though she had been there several times before and into a private room. She waved to the patient and smiled as the lady smiled back. The Lady started looking over the patient's medical charts with the ease of someone very experienced. Then I heard something that surprised me.

Diane, the poor patient's eyes about popped out of her head.

Diane, you are going to die there is nothing more I can do.

The woman's eyes swelled with tears as she heard of her young demise.

Diane, I can not heal you but you have four options I f you would like to hear them.

"Yes, Yes Marie please give me the options I have left, I'm…I'm not ready to die yet."

Diane, I can allow you to die your natural death, within the next two weeks

I can take away your pain and give you up to one year.

I can kill you now so that you do not have to suffer with you fate,

or I could change you into a Vampire which is not like any pain you have ever experienced.

It is up to you, I will be back within the hour for an answer

As the evening continued I watch with growing respect as Bella traveled the hospice giving the dying, options in there lives. Out of the fifteen people we visited that evening three opted to die right than, none wanted a natural death, eight wanted to prolong there lives, and four wanted to become vampires. Bella calmly changed the four, killed the three. Before we left she ventured to another section of the hospice at a slightly healthier bunch of people. I smelled death on many, but as Bella touched them they seemed to change, and become healthier. Alice and I watched with growing admiration as she helped these people while being emotionless. Many of the people the Lady helped were instantly released, or moved to a different part of the hospital. She had helped many people who had absolutely no hope before.

Why did Diane call you Marie?

It is the name I use at this time; you already know that it is my middles name. I wanted to use a name that was a little less dated than Bella.

Lady, how do you have such control?

Edward I have never suffered from blood lust. I can not eat animals so relieving the pain of the dieing was the next best thing.

Why can you not drink from animals?

I make me very weak; I have so many powers that require so much energy I could starve to death in the span of a single day on animal blood.

How do you heal these people?

It is one of my powers as is taking away the pain and prolonging a dying person's life. And yes Edward I do hold a medical degree. My hospital id now famous, as am I they call me the American Lady because well I am an American. I am not breaking my own rules either in a few years I will have a little girl in the publics eyes who looks just like me as she gets older.

How many gifts do you have?

I'm not sure, my gifts are always changing, and I often get more.

Why do you not cure yourself?

Because I can not. I have tried.

Why do you not just order us to become part of your guard?

Because I want my guards to truly be loyal to me, though I can order people not to hurt me, and can easily take care of myself having loyal gauds takes a lot less energy than being my own.

After what I did, why us?

For one with the "treatments" I give I certainly can not have too many humans around and there are not that many vampire doctors though I have twelve in my employment at this time. Three of your family members including yourself have can practice as MD's, and the other could be very helpful in other ways.

Then why as only the two of us?

You were once my closest friends and, Jasper was becoming very agitated. I am going to ask the others when I get back.'

Then let's go.
