"Bella didn't eat, didn't sleep. The boy, Dennis, had to force feed her for three days. A week later Armand showed up for the first time." Louis narrated as the Cullens see Armand walk into the room with a concerned face.
"Bella, starving yourself is going to do you no good." She didn't speak. "I apologize, for the rest, but they do follow the rules."
"Damn the rules Armand." She whispered. "Damn your rules. Damn your whole kind." Bella spoke with such hatred, such venom that Armand was shocked. "You ruined my life."
"There was nothing I could do."
"I don't believe you. They were afraid of you. But no, you let them kill her." Bella coughed and slowly turned to him. "Be honest, is my father still alive?"
Armand stayed silent and looked to the side. Bella began trembling and exploded. "YOU KILLED MY FAMILY. I HATE YOU MONSTERS. SO THEY KILLED THEIR MAKER YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE THEM. I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE THE OLDEST, YOU LET THEM DESTROY MY FAMILY. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL. I HOPE YOU ROT FOR AN ETERNITY." She got up and walked to the mirror over the fireplace and punched it, shattering it.
"What do you think you are doing?" Armand shouted.
Ignoring her bleeding knuckles she picked up a shard. "What does it look like I'm doing?" She held the shard up to her throat and was ready to cut when Armand took the shard and pushed her to the other side. She fell to the ground. "Why? Why won't you let me die?" She sobbed, laying on the floor. "I have nothing anymore."
Armand sighed and lifted her up, looking her in the eyes. "I will not let you die."
She glared and pulled away from him. "Why am I still here? Why are you here?"
"I spoke to the rest. They want you. Your blood smells very, sweet, to them. I told them no but your smell is driving them mad. So we came to a solution. We saw your father's thoughts before; you plan to be turned on your 17th birthday. Well, happy birthday."
Bella's eyes grew wide and she staggered back. "Stay away from me."
"I'm afraid I cannot. Please Bella."
"I want nothing to do with you Armand."
"Bella, please," his eyes were full of compassion, love. "Be turned and stay by my side. No harm shall ever come again. You will be reborn anew."
She looked at him before shaking her head. "You might as well kill me. All I want to do is die."
Armand growled and soon Bella was pushed up against the wall. She gasped in pain. "Forgive me."
"No Armand, NO." She shouted but it did not stop him from pushing her hair aside and biting down her neck. She screamed but Armand covered her mouth. The life slowly being drained from her as blood poured down her dress. When Armand let go Bella collapsed to the floor. "Now you have only two choices Bella: die or live as one of us."
"Die." Bella pushed out as she could not move. Her eyes fluttering, trying to stay open. Armand dropped down and bit his wrist, blood coming out. He then tilted her head and opened her mouth. "Death, is not an option." With that he forced his wrist on her lips, forced his blood in her mouth. She began thrashing, her eyes growing wide as she slowly began to drink the blood. When Armand pulled his hand away Bella began screaming and shaking. She moved all over the floor.
"What is happening to her?" Edward asked, standing up with concern and horror.
"Her mortal self is dying and she is turning," Louis answered fresh tears in his eyes.
When it was over her hair was now a more vibrant brown and her eyes were still brown but seemed to have lightened. Her skin as pale as usual and a new sense of beauty was added to her. Two sharp fangs hung down in her mouth. She looked around with her new eyes before looking at Armand. "Beautiful."
"You monster." She cried and launched herself at him. Two vampires came in and held her back. "How could you do this to me?" Another vampire came in with a frightened young woman. "You must feed." Armand spoke as the vampires left so it was only the three of them.
Bella looked at the girl with horror. "No, I won't do it." But it was hard to resist. The woman smelt delicious and Bella had a strange feeling of emptiness in her stomach. "No."
"Give in." And Bella's resistance fell and with force she grabbed the woman by the arm and bit down on her neck. Blood poured everywhere.
