A/N: Hey guys. I want some opinions on my new characters!!! I'm really wondering what you think of them. Keep Reviewing!!! Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. I own John, Zack, and Booker.
"Where exactly are we?" I asked, looking around. We were in the woods, but I was sure there was a town somewhere.
" Salem, Massachusetts," Booker replied lazily.
"Oh, aren't there supposed to be witches here?" I joked. "We've got vampires and werewolves…there has to be witches!"
Booker raised an eyebrow at me. I eagerly awaited his answer. A smirk tugged at his lips. "Witches Bella? That's absurd."
My jaw dropped. "Come on, you're a vampire for crying out loud! How can you think witches are absurd!" Jake sniggered.
"Really, now Bella there's no such thing as magic."
"Humph, Yeah but immortality and super strength and speed is just absolutely normal. Oh and reading minds and predicting the future is too I guess," I muttered under my breath. We didn't discuss the subject any further.
"I own a house up here, we can stay there. I told Zack of our whereabouts so the pack knows where to find us. It's going to take a few days to get the equipment I need, so you'll just have to lay low for a couple of days."
"How is…the..um….birth going to…umm..work? Jake asked hesitantly. I could tell it was hard for him to discuss the subject.
"I'll tell you later," Booker said quietly. The woods ended and we came up to the back of a big house, wait scratch that, mansion.
"Wow, your house is beautiful," I commented admirably. The house built with white bricks in a clean and polished way. There was a large window in the back that overlooked the forest. When we made our way inside my breath caught. The living room was painted a beautiful sea blue, with brown leather couches. There was a flat screen in front of the couches and a black acoustic guitar rested on its stand.
"Make yourselves at home, I'm going to go out and get supplies."
" Thanks man," Jake said as he flopped on the couch and reached for the remote. I joined him and Booker gave us one more smile before going out the door.
The next three weeks went by in a blur. The rest of the pack had joined us and my stomach had gotten very large. Booker set up a "safe room" for me when I delivered the baby. He explained the delivery as clear as he could. Either Booker or Jake would have to use their teeth to cut into my skin to get the baby out. I would be under A LOT of morphine so Booker said I wouldn't feel a lot. I would be changed immediately after the baby is out. Booker said he could feel the baby's power getting stronger everyday. He said the birth of this baby would change the vampire world forever.
Booker also told me about the Volturi. He said they would probably find out about the child eventually. I asked him what would happen then and he replied that when the Volturi come things are sure to change. I thought of Charlie everyday and wondered if my child would resemble him in any way. Then I thought of him and knew that the child would look like him in some way. It scared me to be reminded of him. To look into my child's face and see him. But I would see me as well. That made me look forward to the upcoming birth.
"Here's your breakfast Bells," John said as he handed me some French toast. Morning sickness had passed and I was craving something. I didn't know what it was, but I was craving it. I popped a piece in my mouth and spit it out, pure disgust written on my face. "What?" John asked, as he tried a piece. "Tastes fine to me," he said curiously.
Then something hit me. I scrambled to the kitchen and tried every kind of food that was supplied. The pack looked on in amusement as I spit out everything I tried in disgust.
"Hey Booker," called Zack. "We've got ourselves a little problem." Booker came in at once. I looked at him and said,
"I think I'm becoming a vampire." His eyes widened as he lead me to the couch.
"Explain please," he asked.
"Well," I started. "I've been craving something, but I can't put a name on it. Regular food disgusts me and I can't fall asleep at night."
He raised a sculpted eyebrow. "Hold that thought," he told me and left somewhere at vampire speed. A few seconds later he came back with a coffee cup with a cap on and told me to drink.
"What is it?" I said as I moved my hand to take the top off. He stopped my hand and just told me to drink. I obliged and tasted the thing that I was craving. I drank it all and eagerly pushed the cup back to Booker saying "more please." He smiled and returned a second later with another cup. After drinking three more rounds I finally asked him what it was.
"Blood," he answered simply.
"What?!" I shrieked. The pack howled with laughter. They knew all along. They could probably have smelled it.
"You're very smart, Bella. I believe you are slowly changing into a vampire. I've never seen anything like this before. I have a theory though."
"And what is that?" I answered sharply, still mad about being tricked into drinking blood. Even though it was so good.
"I believe," he began. "That the child in you, has the venom of a vampire, which it inherited, is changing you slowly from the inside. The change will be complete when you give birth. It will probably bite you when it attempts to get out of the womb."
"That is actually….sensible," I said. I was changing in a less painful way, which was good. "Umm, Booker?" I asked.
"Yes Bella?"
I held up the cup. "Can I have some more?"
He smiled. "Of course, my dear." He took the cup with a wink. I turned to the pack and smiled at them. They looked dumbfounded. I got up and walked over to where Jared was playing a video game.
He turned to me and screamed, "AHHH IT'S BELLA THE VAMPIRE!!!"
