It felt so good the burn was gone I wasn't in pain. For some reason I was afraid to open my eyes, maybe the burning was just me dying, maybe I was in hell, maybe Edward wouldn't love me as a vampire. I sucked it up and opened my eyes. I could see particles in the air that a human wouldn't see and hear things like the leaves rustling outside and bugs moving around.
"Love! I'm so glad your ok. I missed your voice, and your brown beautiful eyes." Edward was talking so fast that any normal human would not be able to comprehend anything he was saying but I knew everything he was saying for once. I didn't no what to do all the Cullen's were looking at me like I was a animal in the zoo and it was aggravating me, I didn't like that much attention.
"Guys she is getting very aggravated. Edward say something so she doesn't kill us all." Everyone glared at Jasper. I was getting angry but I wasn't going to kill anyone.
"Oh Bella you look beautiful not that you weren't beautiful before but you are on a whole new level of beautiful." Alice said smiling at me.
"Thanks." When I spoke a gasped because my voice sounded so lovely it sounded just like Alice's voice except a little more low pitched. Everyone laughed at my expression, it was pretty silly my hands over my mouth. I was embarrassed but for the first time ever I couldn't feel my cheeks getting red.
"Bella you should hunt your throat must be on fire." Now that Carlisle mentioned it my throat was throbbing.
"Sure. Yea. Let's go. But I don't know how." Again they all laughed at me and I didn't understand why. Then I realized Edward once told me it came natural like instinct.
"So little sis what do you want to hunt?" Emmett asked with a huge grin.
"Umm. I have know idea. Anything to make the burning stop."
"Come on love we will find something soon." Edward smiled at me and grabbed my hand and we took off running. It was amazing I was going as fast as him and I wasn't crashing into trees. It was the first time I have ever run or walked or anything without tripping. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks and looked at me. They seemed horrified I didn't know why but then I smelt an amazing sent that sang to me. I realized it was human and I took off running in the other direction. I don't know why but I knew I could never harm a human. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
"Bella! Bella! Wait!" Carlisle ran up to me. "I have never ever seen a newborn react like that. No newborn should ever be able to resist that smell some of us have a hard time resisting that." he looked so impressed. Who knew all I had to do to impress a vampire family that only eats animals was to deny my thirst for human blood.
"O. I don't know I just knew it wasn't right for me to attack." they all seemed so amazed at me. It was silent as they all stared at me and again if I could have blushed I would have. Edward broke the silence and I was so grateful for him doing that it was starting to get a little bit awkward.
"So shall we continue?" He asked. Everyone nodded and we ere on our way.
A few miles away I smelt a pack of deer and without even thinking I took off the instincts kicked in and it felt so natural like I had been doing this for years.. I snuck up on the deer and pounced. It wasn't as good smelling as the human sent I smelled. It was still good though. The burning subsided and we all went back to the Cullen's house well I guess my house now too. Everyone went off doing their own thing, Jasper and Emmett played chess, Carlisle was up in his office researching something, Esme was sketching a design for a new house she was going to build. Alice and Rosalie went shopping because they felt I needed a new wardrobe since I was a vampire now and beautiful. That left me and Edward, we decided we would go for a walk so we could talk about us and how life is going to be for now on plus I had some questions that might embarrass me if others heard, stupid questions that would make me look stupid that only Edward could answer without laughing at me.
"So Edward, what did you tell Charlie and everyone what happened to me?"
"Bella I don't want you to hurt. I don't think I should say just yet."
"Well fine but just tell me did I die, runaway, kidnapped what?"
"Umm you 'died'." he sounded hurt like just that word and a reference hurt him.
"Edward don't worry about it I understand." he just smiled at me and we continued on walking at human pace holding hands and walking silently. It was strange because I seemed to know where every root or twig was I didn't trip once. I broke the silence with one of my stupid questions.
"How often do we hunt?" he smiled it aggravated me I thought I could ask him without sounding like an idiot but I guess I was wrong.
"Well love, whenever your thirsty or the burn is unbearable, really you can hunt when ever you want." I just nodded.
"Edward for once I wish you could read my mind. It would be so much easier to explain how much love I have for you. There are no words to explain it and no way to show you."
He smiled at me and kissed me so passionately that it made every kiss we have ever shared together look like a kiss that you would give to your grandma but not really because that would be creepy. For once it was so nice to not have to pull away because I couldn't breath, and there were no boundaries that we had to be afraid that were crossed. I was stronger than him. It made me giggle to think it was my turn not to hurt him.
"Why are you laughing?" he asked when he pulled out of the kiss.
"Nothing I was just thinking."
"I wish I could read your mind. I thought that maybe when you were changed that I would be able to. Guess not." he seemed disappointed. I kissed him again and we kept walking.
We came upon a river, Edward and I sat in the grass n the bank of the river, when I caught a glimpse of myself in the waters reflection. I gasped I was beautiful it was strange to see myself so naturally pretty because Alice hasn't touched me with any sort of brushes yet, I had no make up on, my hair wasn't done, I was just naturally beautiful. My hair was now down mid back and had a bit more curls and waves to it, my skin was perfect no flaws what-so-ever. The only thing I hated was the fact that my eyes were red. It made me shudder because Victoria's eyes were red they were the last pair of eyes I saw as a human. I remember thinking that her eyes made her look like a monster and they terrified me, that meant I had eyes of a monster.
"Bella, what are you thinking you look mad. Should I give you space?"
"No Edward, don't leave me I am fine really." I don't think I sounded believable. "One more question." I smiled and he nodded to give me incentive to ask. "When will my eyes be like yours."
"Depends if you don't drink human blood or not. A few months to a year I would say with the self control you have. If you don't drink human blood your eyes will gradually get darker then they will become brighter like mine." he explained with a smile.
I laid back closed my eyes and concentrated on wishing Edward could read my mind so he could know just how happy I was to be able to be with him forever. I heard him gasp.
