Chapter 8: The New Life (Emma)
Would you have ever chosen a life that would have given you immortality and beauty? The key to the foreverness that you dreamed of. The passage that held your youth intact and gave you the body and the face you wanted. Loads of people I know would trade their souls for it. But that's it isn't it ? Your soul is the asking price. In return, you got what you wanted but also become one of the world's most dangerous predators.
And what if you had to go throgh hell to that sort of a life? Would you? I wouldn't. Not when the boiling white hot pain seared through me, racing through my veins, the feeling of being burnt alive would have hurt less compared to the crucifying torture I was going through. Screaming and writing didn't ease the pain, the venom ran through me, undiluted.
And I find myself begging for the pain to be taken away. Someone, anyone just fucking take the pain away," I scream inside. To just take it away and restore peace in me. It feels like an eternity. I can feel someone holding my hand, tightly. A grip I could never mistake. It comforted me that he was here for me. And then I hear the Cullens. I felt Carlisle's cold hand grasp my hand and very gently brush his fingers over the silvery cresent like bite.
Tell me you can get it out of her, please," Jacob says in a pained voice.
Jacob," Carlisle says, in a strained voice. The venom is too deeply embedded in her. I can't get it out of her. She's already 'changing',"
I want to scream like a banshee when I hear that. I didn't want this. What did I do to actually deserve something like this?
We need to move her. People will be here soon and we have to get her ready," Edward says, his voice full of guilt.
And then I'm being carried by warm hands. I know its Jacob and I just want to stay within his grasp. He felt so full of life, so warm, so real whereas I felt empty, cold and hollow. I was in the Cullen's house. It smelled sweet and felt cool. I could feel the scorching hot pain leave me. Slowly fading off my fingertips. But the burn in my throat wasn't gone. I actually felt thirsty. I could smell water but it didn't smell so appealing. It smelt wrong. I could smell chocolate, flowers, earth, and other scents but it smelt normal.
I think she's ready. Look at her. She's so beautiful and so calm. And her heart its as vibrant as ever," Alice says excitedly.
I could hear people moving around, shushed up whispers and I could hear everything so well. Like my ears were blocked all these while.
She's ready. She would be opening her eyes any moment," Carlisle says, softly.
I open my eyes slowly. Everthing is so clear. My eyes narrowed down on a dust mote moving about in the air. My eyes seem to see everything clearly. Like my hearing, my sight felt like I was half blind all this while. And the Cullens, under my gaze they were even more beautiful.
It's quite a bit to digest isn't it?" Carlisle says, soothingly.
I nod and look at them blankly.
You're one of us now," Edward says with a warm smile. Like a sister. We're here for you,"
Thank you, really. I just... I... I'm so overwhelmed. I mean, I feel so strange," I admitted.
It's normal. You'd feel different," Alice says soothingly.
I smile and get up. I feel so thirsty, maybe a bit hungry. Is that normal?" I ask.
The Cullens expressions change. The thirst part is definitely normal but the hungry part? Not so," Emment says with his eyebrows raised.
Well, why isn't it normal?" I ask, defensively.
I'm actually not sure. Because in all my life, I've never heard a vampire say they're hungry, Emma. Thirsty, yes but not hungry," Carlisle says soothingly.
I, well, do you know why?" I ask, timidly
Of course I don't, Emma," Carlisle says.
So does that mean I won't be normal?" I ask puzzled and angrily, because already I am a vampire and then unwanted complications seem to pop up.
Nope. I think you would be fine. Maybe there's an exception to you. But I can't seem to explain it. Maybe there wasn't enough venom in your body? But that would be impossible as well," Carlisle says soothingly.
But the word blood clicks a thought in my head. Maybe, Just maybe because I'm not exactly normal.
I, guys, There's something I have to tell you," I say, nervously to all of them.
What is it, sweetie?" Esme asks gently, holding my hand. Everyone is staring at me, giving me their full attention.
I take a deep breath. I actually need my, um, how do I say this ?" I stutter.
Your what?" Edward asks. Alice swoons suddenly, her expression in a daze.
What? What did you see?" Jasper urges. Edwards gasps, looking at me with a wide- eyed gaze.
Is it possible ?" Alice asked softly.
Yes. I'm one. But I'm not going to do anything to you. You're my family," I splutter out. And I meant it. They were family to me, meaning alot to me.
What the hell is going on people ?" Emment bellowed.
Shutup Emment," Alice hissed.
I'm not going to shut up when you tell me too. It's my mouth, I do whatever I want with it," He yells.
Emment, calm down. I'll explain," I shout over his ranting.
He calms down and immediately their attention is riverted to me.
I'm a witch," I say slowly. I open my mouth to continue but Emment cuts me off.
You're a what?" He asks, his tone suggesting that what I were saying were absolutely ludicrous.
I'm a witch, you...," I control myself and keep myself from shouting out something I might regret.
Emment! You shouldn't infuriate her like that. She's only a couple of hours old," Esme scolds.
It's okay, Esme. I'm fine. My,um, wand. It's back at the Swans. Could you get it ?" I ask, looking at Alice.
It's already here. Do you want me to get it for you ?" She asks.
I nod and she dashes out of the room and in back with my bag. She hands it to me. I open the zip and dig in looking for my wooden box and I take it out. And then slowly I open it. In it is a long elegant piece of wood. Hawthorn and phoenix feather, Twelve and a quarter inches long, swishy and excellent for Transfiguration.
Well this is it. This is my wand. I give it a slight swish and gold sparks erupt from the end of my wand. The Cullens look at me bleary eyed.
May I have a closer look Emma?" Carlisle asked.
I nodded and handed the wand to him.
Does Bella know about this?"Edward asks.
Yeah, of course she does," I say, nodding.
And Jacob?" He asks me.
Jacob. The wave of desire runs through me and I feel the need to be around Jacob.
Where's Jacob ?" I ask.
Alice face falls, Edward snarls, Esme gives me a sad look , Rose snarled and Jasper narrowed his eyes.
What ?" I ask alarmed. What's happened to Jacob?"
He's fine, Emma. Don't get alarmed," Edward says shortly.
No. You're lying to me," I say feeling scared. Something has happened to him,"
No, Emma. Sweetheart, nothing's happened to him,"she says, trying to assure me.
But I could see the worry in their eye's.
Tell me," I insist.
He's fine, Emma. Really," Alice says looking me directly in the eye.
Then where is he?" I argue back.
And then Edward's phone rings. He picks it up and answers it quickly.
Is Jacob alright?" He pauses and then continues. Yeah I heard what happened. Could he come see her at least?"he asked, his tone pleading. He continued talking, pausing along for a while. Come and see her,Jacob.( My heart soared) You can't hold it up against her like this. It's not like she wanted for this to happen," he pleaded with Jake. He paused for a minute.
And then... I thought she was your fucking imprint? I thought she meant the world to you and you would love her no matter what she were. So why are you bloody holding a grudge against her now? Because she's one of us now?" he yelled on the phone. All of us looked at him stunned. We never heard him swear before.
But I felt confused. Jake, holding a grudge against me? That was impossible. I didn't want to sound delusional but he wouldn't do that to me now,would he? I need to see him now. And I stand up. I feel strong, hard like granite, the new found feeling felt intimadating. I turned, looking sideways and saw the wide-framed windows.
I'm sorry, Esme,"I thought as I ran towards the window and through it, crashing through the glass and jump. My feet hits the ground with a soft thud. And then I race to La Push beacuse I can hear them shout my name and I needed to see Jacob. I can feel them hot on my heels but I didn't care. Ignoring the burning hotness in my throat I race to La Push. And when I've hit the border of La Push I can hear a strange hear beat.
Guys stop. It's just, Emma," I hear a rough voice shout.
Sam,"my mind confirms as I analize the voice in my head.
I turn and there a bunch of werevolves at Sam and Leah's side. Sam gives me a forlorn look whereas Leah beams at me happily, winking at me. I smile back at her and then catch scent of my favourite scent. That woodsy, husky smell of Jacob Black. I smile and my heart leaps. I feel thrilled at the thought of him. I know the Cullens are here as well, behind me. Where's Jacob?" I ask Leah, in my high ringing soprano voice.
She winces slightly.
Emma, let's go. We'll see Jacob later,"Alice says, gripping my hand and trying to force me away.
I'm over here. Why are you here for?" a harsh farmiliar voices over.
I turn around, the stinging wind slapping my face with such atrocity. Jake's face is hard and harsh. In the middle of the forest, I stand facing Jacob with the rest of them circling us, the Cullens on my behind and the pack flanking Jacob's.
What do you mean by that?" I ask, crushed by his coldness.
He turns and gives the pack a look. Some privacy would be good," he says, acidly.
I turn to the Cullens. Sometime alone, please?" I ask, plastering a smile on my face. Alice hugs me and they give me encouraging but full of pity looks. And then run gracefully and swiftly out of view.
I turn to Jacob with the smile still plastered on my face. So,I heard you had a problem with me," slipped out of my mouth before I could stop myself. I immediately regret it and want to apologise to him but I stop myself.
Jacob raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth to say something.
(Jacob)
So, I heard you had a problem with me," she blurted out with a cool smile on her face. Then instantly, for just a microsecond her expression changed. Regret vanished fast with the smile back on her face.
A tiny shard of the hope in me vanished. She's just like them. First the filthy blood-sucker steals Bella from me. And then now Emma's one of them. And I know this is not my Emma. She's become a vampire. Yeah, as a matter of fact I do," I say, cooly.
Well, what's wrong, Jake?" she asks, her eyes suddenly soft. What about me is not good enough for you?"
I looked her in the eyes. You're a vampire," I say with disgust. I can't do this. I can't be with you,"
But why?" she asks. I'm still in here,"she says pointing to her heart.
I just can't all right. You're not my Emma," I yell at her.
Why just because I'm a bloody vampire?" she yells back. And it's not like I bloody wanted this, Jake, And you know that,"
I know that. But I can't deal with you being something I despise," I say trying to calm myself down.
She looks at me, her fiery red eye's boring back into mine.
I can't do this," I say, slowly.
She stared at me. So you're saying you can't love me anymore?" she asks bleakly. After all we've been through, Jake. Do you really want to do this to us?"
I look away, avoiding her eyes. She's at my side instantly.
We can make this work. I can give you some space Jake. And..," she says.
I don't want to make this work,"I cut her off. It's over, Don't you get it?"
She remains silent.
I mean look at you," I say harshly. You're a vampire, something I hate the most in the world,"
It's not something I wanted,"she shouts in frustration.
I know, okay?" I yell back. I know but I don't care,"
Why don't you ?"she asks softly.
I sighed. It's over, Emma," I say, slowly.
She looked like she might cry but of course she couldn't. She stood there under the sun, skin sparkling like a thousand diamonds and stared at me with the fiery- red eyes.
Then she walked over to me and took my hand. I prepared myself for the biting coldness and burning sickly sweet scent but nothing. Her skin felt warm against mine and her scent was balanced perfectly in between her original spicy floral scent and the sickly sweet vampire scent, making it deliciously frangrant.
She placed something cold on my hand and turned around and walked away slowly. Then with one last look, she left within seconds. I glanced down at my hand. There shining in all it's glory was my mother's engagement ring.
