Now, it was just predator and prey.

Edward's POV

My prey was stupid. It should've moved away, yet it kept coming closer. The delicious smell of freesia was wafting off of it like a tidal wave. I gave a victorious smile. This would not escape me, would not be able to. Also, by the looks of it, it wouldn't even put up a fight. Aww what a sweet snack. I took slow, deliberate steps toward my prey; I wanted to drag this out as long as possible.

"Edward, please stop. You're frightening me." Who was this Edward? I suppose it must've been talking to me. I let out a tremendous laugh that echoed off the trees.

"That's the point darlin," I said in a sickly sweet voice. I took another few steps toward it until I was only a few inches away. I picked up it's wrist and inhaled. Oh, it was the best thing I'd ever smelt. I could just imagine the taste. Enough with the games, I wanted that sweet blood now. I pressed my lips to it's neck. Its hammering heart almost drove me mad. My vampire teeth esily tore through the soft, almost transparent skin.

Bella.

My Bella. It all came rushing back to me. The creepy guy I saved her from, the dark flower, the meadow, the kiss, the fall. I instantly jolted back. I just bit my Bella, my reason for existance.

Bella's POV

This wasn't my Edward. His eyes were cruel and dark and his smile rivaled one of a serial killer. He kept stepping closer and closer until I could feel his icy breath on me. My heart was going at a dangerously fast speed and ever worse, I knew he could hear it. I wanted to cry or scream but I wouldn't let this monster have the satisfaction. I just held my breath and waited for the attcack that was surely coming. Then, he bit into my neck.

Fire tore through me. It burned as if somebody was torching me from the inside out. I let out a blood-curdling shriek. I couldn't breath, I couldn't feel anything except the agony. I heard a scream that didn't come from me.

"Oh God no! Please Bella, forgive me. I'm so sorry!" I heard an angel's voice say. It sounded far away but I could hear so much sadness in it. A voice that beautiful shouldn't be tainted with pain. I opened my eyes and saw a blurry image of a God. It was Edward, my Edward. His eyes reflected what I was feeling inside. I mustered up all the strength I had.

"I love you Edward." It was almost inaudible but I knew he would hear it. I wanted him to know that before I was burned alive. The pain intensified and I blacked out.

Edward's POV

"No, no, no, no, no!" I shouted and uprooted a large tree. This couldn't be happening. I either had to kill her now or wait for the venom to finish. I'm sure she already thought she was going to die, but I would never allow that. She made me feel so alive, so human. As much as I loved her, I couldn't change her. She would hate me if I did. She would be bloodthirsty stone, just like I was. I couldn't damn her to this life. I didn't know what to do; I couldn't kill her but I couldn't turn her into the living dead. There was only one person I needed to talk to. I dialed the number on my cell phone.

"Bella's in trouble. I'll be there in a few hours." Then, I hung up the phone. I gently picked up Bella's convulsing body. I could smell the venom and hear the drumming of her heart. With that, I ran. I ran faster than I ever had before. I would be blurry to even vampire eyes. I glided across the earth, passing state lines and into Canada in a couple hours. At last, I made into Denali and into Tanya's house.

"Carlisle!" I called. We needed to move fast if there was any chance of fixing this. He was at my side in an instant.

"What happened Edward?" he said in a calm voice I knew too well.

"I accidentally bit her. How do I fix this? I can't do this to her!" He pondered for a moment and then his eyes turned hard.

"You're too late. The venom is already changing her system. You wouldn't be able to stop the process now." I died. Not only did I damn Bella's soul, she'll hate me for eternity. In fact, I'll hate me for eternity.

"Ok," I said in a disconnected voice that didn't belong to me, "Is there a place I can put her until it is complete?" He nodded and showed me to a small gust room with a bed and a chair. I placed her on the bed.

"I am so sorry Bella. I never meant for this to happen," I said and kissed her forehead.

Bella's POV

When I came back into conciousness, the pain had doubled. I could only feel the intense heat. I was slipping away, there was no reason to endure this slow, painful death. Well, except for Edward. He was the only thing I would live for. Edward. He did this to me! He bit me and turned my insides into molten lava. How could he? I loved him so much and he does this to me? Edwad Cullen could die in hell, and I would be very happy to put him there.

I burned, and as I burned I thought of Edward. My resolve would waver everytime I pictured his face, his voice, his kiss. Although, it strengthened every time the fire intensified. If I was going to tell the truth, I wasn't mad. I felt betrayed. The question that ran through my mind every few seconds was: How could he do this to me? It felt as if I burned for years, decades, centuries. Time seemed irrelevant and the pain never eased even a fraction. I was going to burn forever.

Edward's POV

"Carlisle," I called, "It should be over by now. What's wrong?" His eyes seemed to have been asking the same thing.

"I'm not sure. Usually it takes three days to happen. It's the fourth day already. Maybe it's because she was healthy so its taking longer for the venom to work. Don't worry son, listen to her heartbeat. It's strong, she'll pull though." Even though Carlisle wasn't my real father, he was real in all the ways that counted. He knew exactly what to say. Once he left the room, Bella's fast heartbeat skyrocketed. That was a sure sign that the transformation was almost finished. If I was alive my heart would beat out of my chest. I wasn't ready to face her yet. She shook and then jumped out of the air and landed on the side of the bed.

Her eyes were dark red and watched every change in my body. Her stance was one of a cobra about to strike. The face she wore was unreadable. Her lip was curled and snarls were errupting out of her. They were so menacing they even had me frightened. Bella was terrifying. The snarls stopped and I thought that maybe she would be less intense.

"How could you do this to me? I loved you Edward, I never did anything wrong to you! How could you torture me like this?" she shrieked. It was filled with anger, hurt, and betrayal. My worst nightmare came true. Loved, as in past tense.

"Well?" she screamed again when I didn't answer. What could I say to her that would make her see?

"I-I-I never meant for this happen. Bella, please believe me when I say I never wanted you to suffer that. When you tripped and scraped your knee, the blood drove me insane. My monster that killed so many people came alive and took over. Only after I had bit you, did I finally snap back to myself. I ran all the way to Alaska to try and reverse what I had done. But by the time I got here, it was too late. I am so sorry Bella. I love you and I know nothing I say or do will ever make up for what I did it you," I whispered the last part. I couldn't even look at her. I didn't want to see how she would get angrier at my pathetic excuse. I didn't hear her walk over to me, but I felt her grab my chin and tilt it up to me.

"Ok Edward," she said with hard eyes. It might've been my deranged wishful thinking, but did I see love and forgiveness deep within them?

Bella's POV

He sounded so sincere in his apology and it did make sense. But he was right, there was nothing to make up for what he did. I wouldn't admit it to him now, but I was still hopelessly in love with him. When he said he loved me, my dead, cold heart melted. I knew I trusted him completely, loved him with all of my being, but I couldn't tell him that yet. He couldn't get off the hook so easily. I saw his sad look as he started walking away. Oh no, what had I done? I just scared off the only thing I cared for.

"Edward, wait! I'm sorry," I said. So much for not letting him off the hook. His smile lit up his whole face.

"This way," he said as he held out his hand.

Author's Note: Hi everybody, hope you had a great holiday season. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. I actually never plan my chapters, as I'm sure you can tell, but I really like this one. I decided to have her changed because if she died well the story would be pretty much over. I wanted Bella to get mad for a while since she never chose her transformation, but don't worry their relationship will be just fine (: Although, when I was at the end of writing this I had a great idea for the next few chapters. It's about Bella kind of going through her rebellious phase and becoming evil-ish. Tell me what you think should happen next! Anyways I'll stop rambling (: Please review and check back for updates!
