The first thing I felt was the pain that still surged through my body. I was still not totally connected fully to my whole body. After a while, I could hear and feel the fire on my skin. It surged through my blood and pumped through me. I couldn't scream out, I couldn't move.

The car jerked to a halt and I felt I was being picked up by cold, gentle hands. I could hear my angel's voice.

"Bella, stay with me. Please stay with me, don't leave me. Not again, please love."

I wanted to tell him I was there, that I was always with him, and never again would I leave him. Screaming it in my head, praying that my words would find my lips but they didn't. Helplessly I lay in his arms, not able to comfort the only person I ever longed never to hurt.

A cooling shadow fell over me, making the fire just smolder against my skin. I could hear all of them. All the ones I loved. They had been talking but silence fell over them when Edward and I came in.

"Edward, you finally made it." Carlisle.

"Everything will be ok Edward." Esme.

"What's wrong with Bella? What happened to her Edward?" Alice.

Then all was silent. A cool hand felt my forehead and then moved down my cheek.

"Take her to your bed Edward, I will get my stuff and see what's wrong." Carlisle again but his words made me think. Didn't all vampires go through this much pain? I wanted to wriggle out of Edwards arms and ask what was wrong. My body and lips where still out somewhere in a universe I couldn't reach.

The bed I knew so well, with its gold and black beddings. It felt so wonderful to be put down. Through my nose I could smell the heavenly sent of Edward. We had spent so many nights together, cuddling in this bed. It brought me comfort, plus, a cool body lay next to me, still holding me.

Another voice came to my ears.

"Edward, she won't slip away if you let her go. I have to do a checkup and I can't have you in the way." No! I wanted him next to me, with me, holding onto me. I yelled, screamed, doing everything I knew how. Yet, I still didn't know how to get my muscles to move my lips and body.

"No, the mark is on the other side. I am not letting her go." I calmed down; Carlisle would never go against what Edward wanted.

"Fine, help me to get her in a position so I can see it." I was being moved and my head tipped to my right side. Bringing a new wave of pain and my body convulsed again. I was loosing it again.

"Carlisle, please, did I do it wrong? Is she going to die?" His voice, so pleading, I wanted to kiss him.

"No, she won't die, but, she has done something that I have only read about. I thought it wasn't real, a fantasy." I snorted, so far, Edward and I had killed almost every fantasy imaginable. I couldn't believe he was still surprised. "She has become one with her vampire self. She will never change, or anything like that. She will just be Bella in vampire form."

"What? Carlisle, you have to be kidding. There's no possible way that it could happen. How could you even tell?" My dear Edward, no faith.

"Look at the mark. It is suppose to be a crescent from the poison. She has a crescent and a star linked to it." There is no mistaking that symbol; it had appeared in my dream. Carlisle must have put pressure on the mark because I huge, smoldering, wave of fire was running over my body. I screamed and I finally found my lips. The scream reverberated through the room and I lost it. All control lost and I slipped into the darkness.

I woke to a drum beat on the door and yelling.

"No Alice, you can't come in! Carlisle said no one is to come in!"

"Edward, that's not fair! I want to see Bella, I want to make sure she is ok!"

"No Alice! Just go back to your room and give her some room." Edward growled and I heard stomping feet leading from his door. He sounded so exhausted and exasperated, guilt filled my heart.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. I heard it through my ears and realized I could say something.

"Bella, love?" His voice was hollow and unemotional, so I guessed that I had talked a lot. He probably gave up a while ago.

"Love? Of course I love you, why would you question my love?" I smiled.

"Bella, your here!" His reply confused me.

"I have always been here Edward. Always feeling your touch and hearing you talk. I would never leave you, ever. How could you think that?" I was so sad that he had thought I was gone, also appalled at the fact that I might actually could have left him.

"Oh Bella, please, never do that to me again. I though I had lost you and that I had actually, actually killed you."

He swept me up into his arms when he sat back on the bed. The sensation was different; it was, almost like normal. Like a normal human but his touch was still a bit cool. I swung my arms around him and in my victory over my body; I took a whiff of his sent. I smiled, it hadn't changed.

"You still smell like Edward. Do I smell like Bella?" I put my head in between his neck and shoulder.

"Even better. I missed you love, all of my being missed you."

"How long was I out of it since Las Vegas?"

"From that night…"He stroked my head. "About four days."

I jolted away from his body, opened my eyes, and looked him in the eye. Very few times had I seen Edward surprised but this was one of those few times. He almost fell off the bed but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back up.

"Edward?" My heart sunk when I realized behind his golden eyes, was fear. It caught me off guard and I let go of him, turning my head away from him. I scooted to the edge of the bed and put my hands in my lap, making a fist. Tears where welling up in my eyes but I just stared at the cast that use to be my right hand.

A cool body leaned against my back and I could feel his breath on the side of my face.

"I'm sorry, your eyes, they are the most beautiful violet color I have ever seen in my life. I was ready to whisk you away to Alaska to eat penguins. Not to see the most beautiful person on the inside end up being even more beautiful on the outside." His arms locked around my neck and he pulled his body closer. My senses went numb and I turned around without unlocking his arms. He was only in jeans and without a shirt. A shiver ran down my spine as I went against him and kissed him.

Just as he kissed me back and his hands were moving down my body, the door slammed open. Both of us looked at the figure in the doorway that seemed to have an angry aura melting the doorway.

"Edward, don't be so selfish! You're not the only one who was worried about Bella." Without even thinking about it, I had Alice in my arms by the door.

"Alice, please forgive him. I was being selfish, it was me. I should have come out as soon as I had the strength to. I'm sorry." She swung her arms around me and nuzzled against my chest.

"I could never be mad at you. Oh Bella, you scared us so much. I could never see if you made it or not and I thought you where gone. I missed you so Bella."

I turned to Edward. "We will have to continue this conversation later." His smile widened and I laughed at the childish look he had on his face. He was mine and now I could be with him forever. We both got our wishes and no one could take that away from us.
