Okay guys, I know it's been a while and I'm sorry but here is the next chapter! As always, I own nothing but please review!

By the time the sun had risen the next morning I was on my second glass of champagne and relaxing in a hot Jacuzzi bath tub filled to the brim with hot water and bubbles. My father had simply agreed to wait until tomorrow morning. His perspective was that he was doing this so that he wouldn't lose me. He would do anything to keep me safe. I couldn't hear anything besides my father snoring, but I knew that all of the vampires in the house were up and about, preparing things and hunting. Once the water was room temperature again I drained the tub and dried off before I dressed in a matching set of panties and a pair of sweats and a tank top. If I was going to endure unfathomable pain for three days then I was going to be comfortable while I was doing it. I was starting to feel the slight haze of alcohol as I pulled on my fuzzy black socks and dried my hair with a clean towel. I jumped when there was a quiet knock on my door and my dad opened it shortly after.

"Hey, Bells." My dad said quietly as he walked in and sat on the edge of the bed that I had used. "That Jasper is better than cold medicine." He said and I smiled. I remembered Jaspers gifts from the time in Arizona when I had been unable to sleep.

"Yeah. How are you feeling?" I asked him.

"Best night's sleep of my life." He said awkwardly seeing as it was his last night sleep of his life. "They said that it was gonna hurt. And that you already know what it felt like?" He asked me. I glanced down at my hand and the scars there that were almost as cold as vampire skin. I gave him a brief rundown of what had happened last year and he frowned.

"Peter is making burgers for us." He finally said with a smile as he stood. "I figure that for our last meal it's as good as anything."

I smiled and we both headed downstairs where there were burgers on the grill and buns being toasted. I normally didn't eat red meat but with a shrug I took a large bite and savored the food.

"Charlie," Carlisle said politely walking in when we were done. "Are you ready? We have morphine ready if you'd like it. It should dull the pain for most of your transition."

Charlie gave a final glance back at me before he followed Carlisle out of the room. I bit my lip as I waited for screaming but it never happened, for almost ten minutes I listened before I realized that Jasper was standing beside me.

"Do you want the morphine?" He asked me and I shook my head almost violently. "Are you ready?"

"Are you the one… are you going to bite me?" I asked him, hesitantly.

"Bella, I know that you aren't ready for another relationship just yet. I understand that you need time to heal, but part of me… instinct, you could say, is screaming at me to claim you and protect you. I don't think you get it because I want to kill Carlisle and Emmett and even Peter, who wouldn't ever betray me, anytime they get close to you. If any of them even tried to bite you…"

He hesitated and turned away.

"I will be the one changing you, yes." He said, finally and turned back to look at me. "Are you ready?" He asked again and I nodded. I stood and followed him into the room that Carlisle had taken my father and I saw him laying almost peacefully on a hospital bed and there was another one waiting in the center of the room. I abruptly turned when I got to the edge of the gurney and held my arm out to him wrist up. He smiled down at me and took my hand, pulling me closer to him. I was frozen in shock and fear when he pulled me flush against him and his other hand cupped the side of my neck. I started to tremble when his mouth moved closer to my neck and after an eternity of waiting that only lasted a second or two I felt the searing pain of venom as he bit into my neck. In the face of such mind numbing pain my legs gave out of me and I was aware of Jasper catching me even as I started screaming. I barely felt him pick me up and set me down on the gurney. My hands fisted in the sheet on it and I couldn't make myself let go of them. The pain lasted an eternity. It didn't weaken, it didn't seem to level out at any point, and it grew on itself becoming more and more painful the longer it lasted. I became blind to anything but pain and I tried to recall my most important human memories before it seemed like I blacked out to nothing but pain.

And then it changed. The pain left my extremities and intensified in my chest and head and I realized that my screams, which had lulled into whimpers and groans, had now returned full force. I couldn't contain my cries of pure agony and I couldn't think as the pain slowly left my head and centralized on my chest. Momentarily I think I tried to claw my heart out of my chest, as if that would stop the pain, before I was restrained. And then suddenly the pain was gone and I slumped back onto the gurney. It felt like waking up from a drugged sleep. I was able to twitch my fingers and hear the sounds of a house. But nothing else. No breathing or movement as I slowly regained control of my body.

"Bella?"

A voice spoke but I was having a hard time placing it. I opened my eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room.

"Bella?" The voice asked again and I found myself sitting up, and looking around the room. I saw the empty gurney before I saw the man standing by the door, his posture slightly defensive. I was on my feet in an instant in my own crouch, unable to take my eyes off of him. He was covered in scars where I could see his skin. His hands, wrists, arms and his neck. He even had a few on his jawline. And yet, I didn't feel any threat from him, like I knew that he wouldn't hurt me. He had just surprised me.

"Where is my dad?" I asked him, surprised at my own voice. It was different than it had been.

"He's with Carlisle and Emmett. They're going to take him on a hunt." Jasper said. I remembered his name, but not much else about him. I don't think that I really knew that much about him. At the mention of a hunt I brought my fingertips to my own throat. I was… thirsty.

"Would you like to hunt?" He asked me and my eyes darted around for a way out of the room. He held his hand out to me and I stared at it for a moment. I walked closer but didn't take his hand as he opened the door. Slowly I walked behind him even as he watched me. He led me outside and I stopped when the wind blew into my face just as I inhaled. There was something on the air, some scent that made my mouth water that maybe had a tint to it that made my nose wrinkle. Blood. That was the scent of blood and I wanted it, even if it smelled… off.

He didn't stop me as I was suddenly dashing insanely fast towards the scent. It took less than a minute before I found it, some sort of cat lounging on a rock in the sun and I attacked without thinking. Its neck snapped easily as my teeth pierced its skin. I took several gulps of the warm think liquid before my body seemed to convulse and I puked it up right next to my kill.

"Bells!" A new voice, this time a familiar one. I couldn't forget the voice of my own father. He dropped to my knees and rubbed my back as I emptied my stomach.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked catching up, but I heard others approaching and I was suddenly crouched down again, ignoring the blood dripping from my face.

"She puked up the blood." My father told Jasper and when I recognized the others I fell back to my knees.

"There's something wrong with it." I said shaking my head.

"It doesn't smell sick, Bella." Carlisle said quietly.

"It was wrong!" I shouted angrily at him and he took a step back even as Jasper stepped between us.

"Okay, Bella, let's go find something else." Jasper said to me, moving in my line of sight again when my eyes glared past him at Carlisle.

By the time I was puking up blood for the fourth time, all from different animals I had decided that I sucked at being a vampire. It was more painful than the first time and my now I felt like I was dying of thirst. I vaguely heard a cell phone ringing.

"Hello?" Carlisle answered.

"Where's Bella right now?" Alice shouted. It sounded muffled over the phone but I could still hear her clearly.

"We are hunting Alice." Carlisle said confused. "Are you at the Denali's? Let me speak to Carmen."

"I just saw her drinking from a human, how could you be so careless to allow that, Carlisle? You know that Jasper will-"

Carlisle hung up the phone.

"There aren't any humans for a hundred miles." Carlisle said to me when I looked nervous. "We checked the whole area."

"Maybe that's what she needs."

Everyone froze and looked over at my father who had spoken.

"What?" He asked. "Can't vampires be allergic to animal blood?"

"I think he's onto something." Peter said.

"I'm not going to kill anyone, so just forget about it." I snapped at him and he got a confused look on his face before he shook his head. "I think we should try an animal that doesn't eat meat." He repeated the words that he had spoken twenty minutes ago.

"We already tried that Peter." Charlotte sighed pointing at the elk that was lying on the ground. Emmett was digging a hole for it. Peter frowned.

"When did she kill that?" He asked, confused and then looked around. "When the hell did we get here?"

"Peter this isn't funny. Bella needs blood."

"Bella, I think you made him forget." Carlisle said quietly. "You said, 'just forget it' and he did. He's repeating what he said twenty minutes ago. Can you try it again? Maybe you can make him forget something specific."

I frowned for a second.

"You can try on me." Emmett said and I bit my lip. Jasper helped me stand up and I stayed leaning against him as I looked at Jasper. I thought for a second.

"Forget that you buried the elk." I said to him, nervously looking away from him. Nothing happened to him.

"Try to keep eye contact with him." Jasper whispered in my ear, pushing a bit of confidence at me. I took a deep breath and looked back up at Emmett.

"Forget that you buried the elk." I said and watched the dazed look cover his face. He looked around a frowned.

"Where'd it go?" Emmett asked.

"Okay, try to change the memory." Carlisle whispered, quietly.

"You already buried it, Emmett." I said to him and felt the current of something flow through me.

"Alright, what next?" He asked, looking around. "The elk didn't work."

"Alice did say that she saw Bella drinking from a human." Charlie said and I looked up at him again.

"I think he's on to something." Peter said again and I frowned. "Look, Bella, I know you don't want to kill humans but you could hunt the way Charlotte and I do. We find people who are hurting others, muggers, rapists and criminals."

"She could lose control and hurt an innocent person." Esme said shaking her head.

"We could bring someone unconscious back." Charlotte suggested. "If it doesn't work we will find something else."

"Do it." Jasper said. "Quickly though, she can barely stand."

The two of them ran off and Jasper and my father helped me back to the house. My father had apparently had a good hunt, killing an elk and a mountain lion.
