Chapter 6
Bella
Dark.
It was dark, that's all I can remember after the pain subsided. No light, no sound, no warmth, no cold just dark. The last day of my life is fuzzy. I remember Edward and trees; the scent of mint, pine and damp moss intertwined; a pain and sadness that hurt worse then my body ached. Words and emotions swirled together, the last thing I can remember was being alone and then not…… Jacob? Was he there too? I can almost make out his figure hovering above me. I'm not quite sure what was happening to me. But I am sure of this: Something is happening; something big. What, I just don't know.
I'm now standing alone in a field, our field. There is no breeze or sounds, just deafening silence and an unnatural stillness. It's bright out but not sunny or warm, it's cool and dry.
It's Spring time I think, the field is covered in a blanket of thousands of tiny blue flowers. For-get-me-not's. How ironic, seeing as how I can't even remember how I got here to begin with. Edward has only taken me here one or two times at best, it's a long way from home and I'm not sure if I'll be able find my way back.
There seems to be a breeze passing through the trees in the distance. I can see a faint tremor moving through the leaves and branches, a quiet noise that I can't make out follows soon after. I stare curiously out into the distance wondering what was out there and what was soon to come.
Another tremor and rumbling sound of some kind pass over the trees again. It's still faint but audible, it sounded as though it was moving towards me.
Again.
This time was louder as though something heavy was dropped on the ground, as the tremor falls through the trees a small vibration passes under foot.
Again. Closer.
More of the forest dances in front of me as the sound now echo's after it. The vibrating from beneath the earth intensifies.
Again. Louder yet.
The entire forest surrounding the field trembles as far and wide as I can eye, the thundering sound trying desperately to catch it. The vibration pushes through the far end of the field creating the illusion of a blue wave to form. Birds flutter away to safety from their homes by the hundreds, as other woodland creatures scatter from the earth. As the next ripple tears through the trees and earth, the sky darkens and an angry wind picks up quickly, blowing now against my skin so hard that I have to shake the hair away from my face so I can see.
The next time it passed through the field, the noise that immediately followed was so loud that I had to cover my ears. This storm was growing intense and dangerous I thought as I instinctively took a step backwards.
Again.
The sound matched the movement this time and I could see the ground shift and then split as if a lightening bolt has struck it. It was so strong that when it reached me, it lifted me from my spot as it expanded and contracted.
"Run." Edward.
His voice was crystal clear, if my eyes were closed I would have believed he was beside me.
"Run Now." he pleads.
Distracted by his voice I almost miss the sight of the trees simultaneously begin to fall from the earth unleashing a tidal wave of destruction barrelling down towards me, fast. With each of it's ripples everything I saw before me fell into oblivion.
As I gasped at the sight, the air instantly knocked out of my lungs and---
"RUN!!!!!!" he screamed.
I turned abruptly and ran for my life. Another terrifying thundering sound that resonated through the air was in perfect alignment with every beat of my heart. As everything came crashing down around me, I realized then that the sound echoing throughout the air that I was hearing was in fact my own heart.
The waves continue to chase after me as the world before me plummets from beneath my feet, I leap into the air before falling into nothingness.
Jacob
I don't remember when I fell asleep but I remember with certain clarity awakening to the sounds of Bella's screams, taking me by such surprise that I nearly fell out of the chair I had fallen asleep in. I ran over to her and looked down at her, she was thrashing about, clenching and unclenching her fingers as though she was trying to grab a hold of something. She continued to scream torturous, blood curdling screams as she twisted her body from side to side while arching her back from the bed. It looked as though she was being pulled from her body while trapped inside her own frightening nightmare. It was disturbing to say the least. When I felt for her pulse she was burning up with a fever so high that she was literally hot to the touch. After several minutes I finally found her pulse and it was erratic and faint.
It was happening. Bella was changing.
I felt a lump form in my throat as I walked over to my chair and pulled it across the room up beside her bed and held onto her hand.
I wanted to leave several times but I didn't. I couldn't. It wouldn't have been right to have left her alone to die. Like that. So instead I sat and watched in horror as tears silently fell from my eyes, and for the first time in many years I prayed. I prayed that God would make this end as soon as possible.
During the next four hours she had successfully managed to kick her covers off of herself, no matter how many times I put them back on her. Thirty-two times. Just before dawn her breathing began to slow considerably and soon after became shallow and wheezy. Through my fingers on her wrist I could feel her pulse quicken one last time before it began to fall slowly from her body. One last breath and with the final beat of her heart, Bella was gone.
Her body relaxed and for the first time in a long time she looked peaceful. I kissed her on the forehead as I patted her hand that I still held in my own and then brought it up to my face. My tears were interrupted by the rapid fall of her body temperature. In less then a minute she went from almost burning to being ice cold. I sat up abruptly and looked at the color drain from her face and then followed it's trail down her body to her toes.
Now this part was just plain weird. Her toes started to sparkle in the light now shining in from the window as it crawled up her body it grew and with it, what I can only describe as a ripple rolled through her body and as it did Bella began to change.
At first it appeared that it was just mending her broken bones but when you looked closer you could see her body change slightly. Her lanky frame was being replaced by a softer more defined curvaceous figure. Her legs almost seemed to lengthen a bit too when they took shape. Her hips widened and waist narrowed. When it trailed up to her bust I adverted my eyes. I-I assume they too… you, know….. "blossomed". The only colour returning to her face was a deep shade of pink settling over her lips. Her hair smoothed out and her wavy curls became more prominent and shinny.
It looked like a better older version of herself, like what she would have looked like in a few years. Minus the sparkling-pasty skin of course.
As I looked back down at her face, her eyes opened and then focused on mine.

I love the RHCP's anyone irl knows this, and won't be surprised to see them here. The lyrics can be found on the you tube videos (in case you're curious).
