Chapter 7
Death wasn't coming fast enough, unlike the mysterious footsteps, which were basically running now until they ceased. I thought maybe the person was gone, but then I heard someone gasp by my side.
Everything felt so cold, it was worse than my pain. I thought I would maybe die by the cold than by the loss of blood.
"Oh, god. What do I do now?" I recognized the voice as Dr. Cullen's. Then I felt his cold fingers on my skin: my arms, my face, my neck.
"Please, kill me" I whispered so low, I thought maybe he hadn't heard me
"Rosalie, I can't, I'm going to make it all go away" he said closer to me
"There's nothing you could do" just by whispering I could feel the life slip out of my body
"There's one thing, if I don't do it, then you're going to bleed to death" I felt something cold slip over my body, it felt like a coat.
My body still felt very cold. I wanted to be warm. I had no more energy to continue talking to him. I felt cold arms go around my waist and I thought maybe he was going to hurt me too, but I had no more strength to fight him. He pulled me to his chest and carried me bridal style.
The next thing was the most amazing and scary thing that I had ever lived through in my life.
He ran with me at a supernatural speed. The cold wind hitting against my face was practically killing me. I couldn't keep my eyes open and I began to whimper from the spikes of the wind. I felt like I was flying and I got more scared.
"Don't worry, Rosalie, it's going to be over soon" he said clearly as he cuddled me closer to his chest.
I knew that he was going to try and save me, but I didn't want to be saved. I wanted to die.
A couple of minutes later, it felt like forever, I felt the wind stop along with the flying sensation. I opened my eyes to see if I was dead, but I was in a room with bright lights on the ceiling. Then, everything was warm and I could feel the pain beginning to dull. I was grateful that I was beginning to slip away.
"Rosalie, you have to stay awake, please" he begged as he teared at my clothes. What was he doing? Did he just bring me here to hurt me too?
"Please, stop" I whimpered
"Please, Rosalie, you got to let me help you" he said. I could feel some tugging at my legs; it was like he was stitching me up.
After a couple of minutes, it seemed like he had given up and I was already closing my eyes. Both he and I knew that once I closed them, I wasn't going to open them again.
"I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do" he said as he leaned down my face.
I thought that maybe he was going to rape me too, so I just continued to cry. Then, I felt a sharp pain at my throat, he had bitten me.
I screamed out in pain and shock. And just as fast as he had bitten me, a fire started to burn me, starting at my neck. It was like hell; maybe this was hell disguised as earth.
Then I felt the pain start again at my wrists and ankles. The numbness was gone and now my whole body was on fire.
"Please, please, just kill me!" I screamed at him, my strength coming back
"Rosalie, I'm so sorry" he said lowering his head next to mine
"I don't care!" he grabbed my hand and held it between his
"What have you done to me?!" I screamed as I tried to act brave, but I couldn't. Just like I couldn't help thrash. My back would arch from the pain and I would move my head from side to side to find comfort. I didn't dare move anymore.
"I'm so sorry, Rosalie, but I had to"
"Had to what?!"
"Turn you into a vampire, like me and my family"
This man was crazy; he thought that he was a vampire and that I was becoming one too. But vampires didn't exist; he just wanted to make my last minutes alive more like a living hell.
I could hear him talking in the background, but I could only focus in the pain that wouldn't kill me.
I would sometimes get some phrases, like:
"We're vegetarians, our private joke; we don't drink human blood, just animal blood"
"You have a choice; you don't have to follow our style of live"
"We move around a lot, so probably when you're one of us, we'll move to another city"
"Carlisle, we're here…what's going on?" a woman's voice interrupted him. I recognized her as Mrs. Cullen. She was with her brother, Edward. They both looked from me to the doctor and then back again.
"Oh, god. I can't believe you did this, Carlisle" Edward said in a harsh tone and throwing me a dirty look.
"Please, kill me, please…I beg you!" I screamed to them
"Oh, dear…" I heard Mrs. Cullen say when she averted her eyes away from me
"What happened to her?" she asked.
After what seemed like two heartbeats' time, I heard Edward mutter profanities under his breath
"That son of a bitch, who would've thought?"
"Who? What happened?" she asked again getting impatient
Dr. Cullen was about to speak but Edward cut him off
"That's ok, I'll tell her" he put his hand on her back and directed her out of the room
How could've he known what had happened? He hadn't been there with us.
As soon as they left, Carlisle continued talking to me
"That's Esme, my wife or as we call them in our world, my mate. And that's Edward, her brother, but not really, that's just a show"
As soon as he said their names, I began to scream
"Esme!" they both appeared next to me in a flash
"What's wrong, honey? Do you need something?" Esme said smoothing my hair away from my sweaty forehead
"Please, kill me!"
"Oh, honey, it'll be over soon, just two more days, hold on" she said in a sweet whisper
Only one day had passed and it seemed like a thousand years had. I couldn't take it anymore. Part of me hoped that what Carlisle was saying was true, but I had been raised in a society, where those things were shunned.
Sometimes they would take turns staying with me, Esme and Carlisle. They had told me to call them that, by their names. Edward had even refused to be in my room. Esme would tell me how my looks were improving, not that they needed it. She said that all my wounds were healed, but I couldn't believe it, the fire was tearing me apart.
Every time I would scream out in pain, which was very rarely because it didn't' make a difference if you did, Carlisle would apologize.
They continued to remind me that only one more day until everything was over. But to me it had felt like a hundred lifetimes.
Finally the moment of truth, she is becoming a vampire. I hope that I was able to portray that experience up to your expectations, my dear readers. I would really love to hear your thoughts in this most important turning point of the story.
