Chapter 9
BPOV
Suddenly, I opened my eyes at the feeling of awful, gut wrenching pain. I writhed in agony, barely aware of someone lifting me off the wet ground and running. I kept screaming, and then I was aware of something.
I was being changed.
After all, what other explanation could there be? I had never felt anything as terrible as this before, except for when James's venom was in my hand. After this realization, the pain didn't seem as bad.
I twisted and screamed, hearing people talk around me.
"What did you do?" Jacob roared. "No! She becoming one of you! STOP IT!"
"We can't stop it!" Edward's voice was tainted with unexplained anguish.
"She would have died!" Alice defended. "Bella, it's going to be okay, ssh, you're going to be fine, ssh." How would I have died? Everything was so messed up, and I couldn't get my thoughts straight.
Why was the pack there? Were they still fighting? Why were they arguing about me?
"Did you want her to die?" Alice demanded.
"It would have been better than…" A girl's voice that I didn't recognize.
"No." that was Jacob. "I would rather her be a bloodsucker than dead."
"Jacob she could kill people!" Sam interjected.
"I know how to deal with newborn vampires, I've seen them, and they are stoppable." Jasper said. There was an underlying meaning to his words that I didn't understand. "We will take her right now out of the city."
"What, do you think that will somehow solve all the problems?" The girl asked. "Her sudden disappearance will just cause new ones!"
"We've been down this road before, we know how to handle it." Edward said. A cold hand wrapped around mine as I screamed again.
"How long will she be like this?" Jacob asked.
"Three." Edward sighed.
"Minutes, I hope." He grumbled.
"Not quite."
"Ah!" Jacob snarled. "She has to be like this for another three hours?" He complained, sure he was correct this time.
"No, Jacob." Carlisle explained. "Three days is the norm."
"Three days?" He asked in exasperation. "Can't you make it better?" At that point, I let out another scream. I was barely aware that I was doing it anymore; it felt like a way of life. Edward squeezed my hand tighter, and I could tell that he was in pain.
I writhed in pain, incredulous that this kind of pain could ever exist. I tried to breath, but no air would hit my lungs. I yelled out again and again, trying to breath, and sobbing into the ground.
"We have to get her out of the city." I could hear Carlisle say. "Before she wakes and wants to…feed."
"Get her out of the city?" Jacob's voice was tortured.
"Well of course." Alice spoke. "Otherwise she'll attack someone. We may not be able to stop her if she gets out of control."
"But, does that mean I won't be able to see her again?" Jacob asked. Then, my heart hurt just as much as the rest of my body.
"We're sorry, Jacob, but that is what is going to happen." Esme said. "We can allow you to say goodbye to her, but we need to move now." There was a pause where nobody said anything. Then, someone must have acknowledged the offer, because Rosalie spoke.
"Then let's go get our things and pack." She said. "Do we have a cover story?"
"Not yet, and it won't be easy, as we have just come back." Emmett said. "If anyone has an idea, now would be a great time to let us know."
"Edward, are you coming?"
"In a minute, Jasper." He whispered. Then, I heard many engines starting up, and tires against pavement as they drove away. "Bella, I'm going to be right back, in less than ten minutes, okay?" I did my best to nod, but I don't think I got the idea across.
"Bella, hi." This was Jacob. "Um, I really hope this is what you wanted, like the bl—they told us. I don't really know how I'm going to be able to…you know…without you. I'm really going to miss you." He sighed yet again, and I wanted so bad to tell him everything was going to be okay, to not worry, because this is what I wanted.
But every time I opened my mouth to say those reassuring words, I could only scream in pain. So I gripped his hand, trying to say that I could hear him and that I would miss him as well.
"I know that I will never be able to forgive myself." He continued. "I got angry, and that started the fight which led to…well…you know. I am so sorry."
"Can you…" He began. "Are you listening?" I squeezed his hand again. He squeezed it back, and then he was gone. I felt awful pain, worse than the venom running through my veins. Jacob was gone.
Forever.
Okay, so that chapter was more of a filler than anything, but I hope you enjoyed it anyways. And also, sorry for the lack of updates.
If I get 30 reviews, I'll update!!!
