All I could feel was the blazing fire running through my body. I was not moving because it would make the fire hurt worse. I was in a black cloud of mist, or that's what it look like. I could not see. The fire was nearing my heart. I thought of Edward and his family in the meadow with myself. I kept imagining Edward. Then the fire stopped. I did not feel warm or cold. I slowly opened my eyes. Whoa! I could see everything. I saw the little fiber of hair on the plant across the room. "Bella?" A velvety voice called. I knew it at once. Edward.
"Edward?" My voice surprised me. It was soprano of Edward's honey like voice. I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I looked over my shoulder and saw my own Greek god Adonis.
"Bella I am so sorry for damning you to this life. I was just to selfish. I could not let you go." Edward's face was pained.
"Wait, I am a vampire?" I asked and Edward nodded. "Don't apologize please, I hate seeing you sad. I will not regret becoming a vampire. I may lose Charlie and Renee but I gain a whole new family. Edward, this is what I want. Forever with you." I smiled at Edward and he smiled back. I hugged him tightly and he winced. I let go and smiled apologetically.
"It just takes time to get used to, love." Edward reassured me. I felt this burning sensation in the back of my throat. I tried to swallow it away. "Do you have a burn in the back of you throat?" Edward asked. I nodded. "That's your thirst. Jasper." Edward said as if Jasper was in the room. Then I listened in and I heard everything around me, even the ants outside. Jasper came running in the room. "Can you get Bella a canteen?" Edward asked Jasper who nodded and was gone and back in one second. Jasper handed a canteen to Edward who gave it to me. I looked at it. "Don't worry, it's deer." Edward smiled. I opened the canteen and the smell hit me. It smelled so good. I put it to my mouth and drank the whole thing. The burning in the back of my throat was gone. "Better?"
"Yes, very much." I smiled at him. Just then the rest of the family came running in the room. Alice ran at me and hugged me full force while I hugged her gently. "Hi Alice." I smiled at her.
"Bella! You look drop dead gorgeous. No pun intended." Alice smiled at me then dragged me to the bathroom. She turned me to look in the mirror. I gasped. My skin was a lighter shade of white, my curves were more pronounced, my hair had auburn streaks going through it and it had more volume, my chest was larger and I was thinner. I looked at my face. My lips were full and pouty, my skin was smooth. But what caught my attention most was the crimson eyes staring back at me. It brought back all of my memories of James and his coven, Volterra. I backed away from the mirror. "Don't worry; they change to gold in a year or so." Alice said confidently. "But you give Rosalie a run for her money." Alice smiled.
"I heard that." Rosalie said. Alice and I giggled. I raced out of the bathroom. I was surprised that I didn't trip. I jumped on Emmett's back, knocking him over.
"Hey squirt!" Emmett boomed.
"Emmett, there is one thing I promised Edward. Let's wrestle." I smiled crookedly at him. Emmett beamed.
"You're going down." Emmett taunted. I crouched in front of him.
"Outside kids." Esme said. I ran outside before Emmett. I was crouched. Emmett pounced and I ducked under him so he went flying into a tree. I crouched again. Emmett swung his right arm at me and I caught it with ease. I flipped him over backwards and crouched on his chest pinning his arms above his head.
"I win." I declared. Everyone was clapping. I hopped off Emmett.
"How does it feel to lose to a girl Em?" Jasper teased. I glared at him and he fell to the ground, withering in pain. I gasped and ran to him.
"Jasper, I am so sorry I don't know what I did. I am so sorry." I said rapidly. Jasper stopped withering when I stopped glaring at him. I helped him to his feet.
"Bella, I think you have Jane's power." Edward said.
"I am so sorry Jasper. I didn't mean to hurt you." I apologized.
"It's alright Bella. You didn't know you even could do that. I am ok." Jasper hugged me. I let go of him and went into Edward's arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist. All of us walked inside. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch, holding hands.
"Children, Sam and the pack will be here shortly." Carlisle said. I tensed; the memory I tried so hard to forget came rushing into my mind. I was lying on the floor, bleeding and beaten, I was driving home naked, I was begging for Jacob to stop. Images kept flashing through my mind. Jasper sensed my fear and distress and he hugged me, trying to force calm on me but I rejected it.
"Get off me." I said emotionlessly. Jasper didn't stop hugging me. "I said GET OFF ME!" I yelled and shoved Jasper off me. Edward tried to hold me. "Don't touch me." I said bluntly. The look of hurt and pain was plastered on his face.
"Bella, sweetie, it's alright. You're safe." Esme said softly.
"I'll never be safe with him on the loose!" I screamed. Esme tried to hold me but I pushed her off. Esme looked hurt. I couldn't help it. I didn't want to hurt them emotionally but I cannot be touched. I backed up against the wall and my family surrounded me. "Back away." I said. Nobody moved. Rosalie tried to step forward but I glared at her and she fell to the ground in pain. Emmett tried to attack me but I did the same to him. I did it to all of them. "I'm sorry." I whispered. I stepped over them and by the door. Emmett was the first one to come back. He glared at me. It sent a chill down my spine.
"Isabella Swan, you are a worthless piece of shit. I don't know why we kept you around. All you do is hurt us. I cannot call you my sister. I don't believe my family is soulless, but you, yes I do. I should have just left you when I found you in the truck. You don't deserve a family or Edward. Get out of my house." Emmett said, all playfulness gone from his eyes. I let out a dry sob. Emmett's eyes softened. "Bella I'm…" Emmett started out but I cut him off.
"Save it when you find a new human." I spat then I turned and ran out the door at a blindingly fast pace. I kept running. I don't know where I am going. I smelled blood. Human blood. It smelled repulsive. I ran right past the human. I just had to get away from them. They didn't understand. I ran past the 'You are now leaving Forks.' Sign. It didn't stop me. I just didn't care. What would I do now that they hate me? Maybe I will go to the Volturi. Yes that's what I'll do. I ran to the nearest airport and bought a ticket for today to Volterra, Italy. I boarded the plane and it took off. I will always love Edward and his family.
EPOV from when Emmett says those things.
Bella had put us all to the ground in pain. Emmett was the first to recover. He got up and glared at Bella. "Isabella Swan, you are a worthless piece of shit. I don't know why we kept you around. All you do is hurt us. I cannot call you my sister. I don't believe my family is soulless, but you, yes I do. I should have just left you when I found you in the truck. You don't deserve a family or Edward. Get out of my house." Emmett said harshly, Bella let out a dry sob. I wanted to go to her, to hold her. Emmett's eyes softened. "Bella I'm…" Emmett started out but Bella cut him off.
"Save it when you find a new human." Bella spat then I turned and ran out the door at a blindingly fast pace. No! My love is gone! I started to get up feebly while Emmett helped Rosalie. Jasper was helping Alice and Carlisle was helping Esme. I finally was up. I walked over to Emmett.
"Edward, I am sorry." Emmett said.
"HOW COULD YOU! THERE WENT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE RIGHT OUT THE DOOR! YOU IDIOT! BELLA IS CATATONIC! SHE WAS BRUTLY RAPED THEN SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED THEN DON'T TOUCH HER! NOW SHE LEFT ME BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU DON'T CARE THAT I AM HEART BROKEN NOW! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF AND HURTING OTHERS! NOW I HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF MY EXISTENCE IN MISEREY! THANK YOU EMMETT!" I yelled in his face. Alice got a glazed over look again but quickly snapped out of it. "What is it Alice?"
"Bella is going to the Volturi." Alice said bluntly.
"What!" Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, and myself all yelled.
"She is going to join the Volturi. I am afraid that we will be too late if we try to stop her." Alice said sadly. No! How could Bella do this! I need her! My heart cries out to her!
