Thank you for the amazing reviews, they made my day!!

When I next awoke, everything was still just a haze, the pain that had formerly driven me to unconsciousness was now dulled yet not gone, I felt oddly stiff. My eyes stayed firmly shut and I merely listened to what was happening around me. I could hear Edward, my beloved savior, shouting at what sounded like the rest of the Cullen family who were all heatedly discussing something.

"I can't do it without her say so," Edward was yelling over everyone else's garbled voice. "I refuse to bite her until she wakes up."

"Edward you are being so selfish, you just don't want her changed," Alice was nearly screaming back. "You need to get over it, this is what Bella wants and it would keep her safe. I have been seeing it since the day I met her, you can't stop it from happening."

"It would be wise to do it while she is so weak, there is already morphine in her system," Carlisle said, firmly cutting across Edward.

"Not until she is awake," Edward repeated firmly. "I've seen her in enough pain because of me for one week."

"Damn you, Edward," Alice said, but Esme cut her off saying, "Edward, dear, Bella made her own decision, it was an accident."

"That was no accident," Emmett roared suddenly. "That damn mut knew what he was doing."

"Emmett," Jasper said, raising his voice more than I had ever heard him do so before. "Jacob Black retreated the moment he saw Bella's blood, taking the rest of the wolves with him."

"Edward, just do it and get it over with," Rosalie suddenly said over everyone else. "She's had more of a choice than any of us ever got, and that is more than fair."

"I said NO," Edward snarled, each word laced with venom. I attempted to find my voice, slowly opening my eyes at the same time. The voices ceased at once and every single golden eye instantly turned towards me. I could feel the dull hit of pain still radiating my back and down my arms, yet it was tolerable. My mind was muddled and very confused yet I managed to find the words I wanted to speak.

"Yes, Edward," I said, slowly and softly. The silence continued in the room as Edward bent down toward me, gently brushing my cheek with his hand. The cool was soothing and I looked into his eyes as he looked down into mine. His face was twisted with such pain that I knew if he could cry, he would. He nodded once and Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme left the room, leaving Alice, Carlisle, Edward, and myself.

Alice held my left hand gently as Edward continued to stare at me from my right side. Carlisle was adjusting the morphine drip coming into my left arm.

"I love you, Bella," Edward said, his voice husky and his face looming closer.



"I love you too," I said groggily as another wave of sleep threatened to consume me. I fought it, wanting to feel his last kiss that would feel so cold and rock solid. He bent down to my lips and pressed them gently, yet I could feel the urgency behind it. His lips parted and he held my head in his arms, after what seemed like an eternity, he gently lowered his face to my neck. I held my breath, Edward hesitated as what seemed like sobs shook his entire body, finally, I felt his cool breath against my neck. His hands began to shake as leaned even more forward and I felt his razor sharp teeth sink into my neck just above my shoulders. I gasped at the renewed pain, but it was nothing compared to the fire that followed shortly after. Within moments my veins were on fire, electric shocks jolting through them. I screamed and writhed on the bed. I could no longer see, the pain was blinding, all I could feel was Edward's cool arms against me, restraining me. His body was still shaking with his sobs.

Time seemed to stop as I was lost in the excruciating pain, eventually the pain and the feel of Edwards's arms grew more and more distant until they were gone, and so was I.

After an hour of Bella shaking and screaming, she slowed and slumped against the bed, clearly unconscious. I felt Alice's small hand on my shoulder, and I turned to look at her, she merely gave me a small smile. A smile which I did not return. Asking both of them to leave, I sat on my couch which I had moved to be along her bedside. I watched her fitful sleep, she was constantly moving, constantly moaning. The only thing I was grateful for was the fact that she would not have to endure the pain as I had. I looked at her twisted and tortured face; her face was still flushed from her movement and screaming. I wondered miserably how long it would stay until her face turned pale, never to blush again. I sat watching her, not caring about time, not caring about anything else but her.

I stayed on the couch, too much of a coward to touch her, in fear of hurting her further. Every once in a while she would calm, but this temporary relief never lasted and soon she would begin tossing again. I knew from Carlisle that this would last for a day, at the end of the day she would fall into a deep sleep unassisted by morphine. During this sleep her heart would stop and her body temp would cool, when she awoke from this sleep, the last sleep of her life, she would be a Vampire. I did not know what to think of that. There was nothing I wanted more than to have her be mine forever, yet I did not know if I was willing to pay the price of her damnation. I suppose it is too late, there is no returning to the past.

Night came and went, welcoming in the new day. I sat, stone still, by Bella's bed the entire time. Alice would check in on me (on Esme's orders I'm sure) accompanied by Carlisle. They would attempt to talk to me, while Alice held Bella's hand, and Carlisle adjusted Bella's IV. He wanted to make sure that it would eventually slow to a stop before her deep sleep. Carlisle had never attempted to stop the pain with morphine and did not want to risk the morphine interfering. Eventually the left me, and I waited out the day. The time neared to the twenty fourth hour when Bella would fall into a deep sleep. I couldn't take being away from her any longer. Slowly and carefully approaching her bed, I sat next to her. Then, with another moment's hesitation, I lay down on to her chest until I could hear the slow beating of her heart. If I could cry, I would have. I focused on nothing but the sound, wanting to 

remember it forever. Time slipped around me as I listened to the steady decrease in beating. I did not notice the day slide into the night, just as I did not notice that night slide into day again. I did notice the slow cooling of her body, the tightening of her skin and firming of her muscles, and the ever slowing beat of her heart.

I felt as though I was losing my Bella and there was no one could comfort me because my comfort, my love lay before me still as stone. Throughout the final day I kept my head next to her heart, savoring every beat. Finally as the end of the seventy second hour approached, her heart beat dropped to an all time low and her temperature lowered so that it was close to mine; to the touch she was already stiff and cold. I held my breath as her heart took another beat, then another, then it stopped. I picked my head up, horrorstruck at what I had done. I looked at her face, it was still my Bella, yet her features were sharpened with an intense beauty to rival Rosalie. It was as I looked at her face that her eyes opened, revealing the dark eyes underneath. The change was complete.

This was my interpretation of what I thought the change would be like, I didn't want to put it all in Bella's point of view simply because a whole chapter on her physical pain is BORING...but half chapter of Bella's physical pain mixed with half chapter of Edward's emotional pain equals instant reader intrest!!
