Chapter 7

EPOV

I awoke to a fire burning through my veins. Without my control, my arms started thrashing around and my legs were kicking in the air.

"Put it out!" I yelled. Suddenly, Emmett was by my side.

"It'll be alright man, just calm down." he directed me. Calm down! Was he serious? How could I be calm when this horrific pain was running through me!

"What's happening?!?!" I hollered at the top of my lungs, still thrashing around.

"I'll tell you when it's finished." he replied. When it's finished? Well, what's the it? I probably would have figured it out sooner but my brain was consumed with the awful burning. I can't describe that powerful pain. It's too harmful for words. After minutes of trying to think, something clicked in my head. I'm becoming a vampire.

"No! Stop it!" I yelled. I noticed Alice, Carlisle, Jasper, Rosalie, and Esme had all appeared in the room. "I can't be like you! What about Bella?! Stop the transformation!" I demanded, although I knew it was no use, and that it couldn't be stopped. I was becoming a vampire, and I could never see Bella again. I stopped kicking around just then, I deserved the pain.

CPOV

"I'm so sorry Edward." I told him before walking out of the room. The others followed me. "I need to go check on Bella." I got in my car and drove to the hospital. Charlie was there in the waiting room.

"Carlisle! Is she going to be alright?" Charlie asked frantically.

"She'll be fine, Chief Swan. Just a broken arm or leg, and I think she might have a little head injury, but not much." I told him, then walked off to Bella's room. We got her all fixed up.

"Carlisle?" her voice was soft and horse.

"Yes, Bella. I'm here. Get some rest." I directed.

"How's Edward?" she gasped between breaths.

"I don't think now's the best time to tell you." If she thought Edward was dead then she might lose hope.

"Tell me what?" She demanded. Her breathing increased and the heart monitor jumped spastically.

"Bella, Bella, calm down. He'll be fine." It was all I could say to get her to calm down. If she didn't, in the conditions she's in her life might be in danger. Technically, he would be fine, after 3 days.

3 days later…

Emmett's POV

"Hey bro!" I exclaimed, sitting down next to Edward. "Looks like the pain's all gone!" I said enthusiastically.

"The pain of the transformation, yes. The pain of loosing Bella, that'll never go away." he replied depressingly.

"Oh, well, I was talking about the transformation anyway." I told him. "So, remember when I said I'd explain things when it was over?" He gave me a dumb look.

"I think I've already figured it out Emmett." I let out a laugh. "The only thing that matters to me is whether Bella is safe or not, and Carlisle already told me that she is." Was he going to go around moping like this all the time?

"Most likely." Edward said. What was he talking about?

"What?" I asked.

"You asked if I was going to mope around all the time, and I said most likely."

"Edward, I didn't say that, I thought that." This was weird. "Carlisle!" I shouted, and he was by me in a second. "Edward's hearing my thoughts!" I complained.

"Hmm… Edward, I think you have the special talent to read minds." said Carlisle matter-of-factly. Edward just sat there.

"Cool…" he said depressingly.

EPOV

I could hear everyone's thought of sympathy swirling around me. Poor Edward. thought Esme. I hope he cheers up soon. Thought Alice. Edward! Hi! Was Emmett's ridiculous thoughts. I looked at him and I could tell he was concentrating on making sure his thought got through. Do you hear what I'm thinking now? I gave him an idiotic look.

"Edward, are you thirsty?" Carlisle suddenly asked me. I was. I was very thirsty. I was craving human blood. No, I was needing it. Stop that Edward! I told myself. Two sides of me were battling against it. Carlisle could sense what I was going through cause he interrupted my thoughts.

"There's a pack of deer a couple miles into the woods. There shouldn't be any humans near the area." I got up and followed him out of the room. He took off running and I ran after him. It was amazing, the speed. I ran faster, and felt the wind blow against my cold, stone-hard skin.

Meanwhile, in the hospital with Bella…

BPOV

Today was the day I finally got out. I already knew the first thing I would do, and that was check on Edward. Nobody would tell me what was wrong with him for the past 3 days that I've been trapped here, and I've been worried sick. Everyone kept telling me that he was fine, but for some reason I didn't believe them, although I desperately wanted to.

"Bells…" Charlie crept in the door.

"Hey, dad," I replied. "Can I leave now?" He could see the impatient look on my face, and he knew exactly why I wanted out.

"Look Bells… there's something I think I should tell you before you leave."

"Yes?" I asked. I seen a worried look on his face. "What's wrong dad?"

"Well, it's Edward. I'm sorry to tell you this honey, but…" My heart thumped harder and harder every second. PLEASE be okay. I thought. I waited for him to tell me. "He… passed away…" Just then, it felt as if the world stopped spinning.
