Chapter 10: Immersed

LILY POV

Rosalie remained in her shell shocked position. It would have been funny if the situation wasn't so serious.

"I mean seriously. Lighten up, all of you." Now I was just irritable. I proceeded to hop smoothly to my chair and began to push, quite skillfully, myself with my fingertips until Bella stopped the chair.

"Did you plan on floating up the stairs?" she asked sarcastically. I could tell she wasn't going to let this go.

"No, I was going to teleport actually." I shot back. Rosalie suddenly turned and flew past us without a word.

"Aren't you hilarious." She muttered and got me up the stairs. "I should have my own show." I snapped. She was suddenly kneeling in front of me.

"Any of us could easily kill you. I didn't think it was that bad when I was human and dating Edward. Now I see how dangerous it really is. Rosalie is right, you are being irresponsible." She said, hands over mine.

"Yeah, but you DON'T. If you think before a sprint I told myself I was going to fail, do you think I would do well? You're beating him up with out even realizing it. Yes, it's dangerous and all that, but in case you hadn't noticed, I got beat up by a vampire a barely a week ago. I know how dangerous it is thank you very much." I angrily wiped away a tear that had formed with a casted hand.

Bella let go of me like I had electrocuted her. "And as for this stupid freaking-" I pulled harshly on the clasp and mentally assaulted the damn necklace around my neck. "It has got to go." Come off, you stupid worthless piece of-

Suddenly something from the necklace assaulted me with such force, I froze. Dead still, vampire lives flashed by me. Hundreds of vampires I saw burned, ripped apart and hunted down.

Then, I watched ashes being put in a hand. The hand closing around the necklace. Ashes blowing out from the cracks in the hand and began to take shape, a body.

Features came into view, and clothing. Thoughts from the resurrected vampire filed my mind, its last few minutes, and the searing pain of the fire. Their past life, friends, their creator, the hunt, the attack.

Edward's face danced in front of me, protecting that weak little human. We danced in tight circles, once and after a while; he got a tiny part of me. I heard Riley fighting that mutt. The increasing heartbeat of the girl-Bella, made me look at her. She was holding a rock, holding at the crease of her elbow.

What was she doing?

In a flash, Edward was on top of me, and I felt his teeth graze through my neck. Disconnected and disoriented, I felt parts of me come closer. Into a pile. Riley joined me. Then pain, just all over, searing…burning…

BELLA POV

I lept away from her. How could she say that?! "And as for this stupid freaking-" She pulled harshly on the clasp and stared intently at the beautiful piece of jewelry around her neck.

Then she froze. She was as still as a vampire, and her eyes turned white. Her hand stayed frozen around the amethyst charm. Suddenly, Edward gasped and grabbed his head. He fell to his knees.

I hadn't seen him in pain like that since he felt Jacob attacked so long ago. I ran over to him as Carlisle sped out of the house and began to try to find out what was wrong with Lily.

"Edward, what's wrong!" I cried by his ear, holding him in my arms. He rocked and shuddered. Whatever Lily was seeing, so was he. Alice cried out from inside and had to almost carry Jasper to the porch. He was doubled over in pain.

Alice had a vision and we all patiently had to wait.

LILY POV

I followed Victoria's life, trapped in her identity. I saw her life, and I was her. I felt her pain from the transformation. I tasted the sweet taste of human blood. Felt the speed, the strength. Watched my own skin glow in the sun. I met Laurent and James. I wandered with them, fought with them, fell in love with James. I killed two men from Forks, drank their blood.

Then I was at the baseball game. I smelt Bella's scent in the breeze. I broke into the high school, hunted Bella-tricked Riley, built my army-

I was trapped, but all I could register was this was the woman James wanted me to bring back. To bad, she already had been resurrected. She had been the last one before the necklace came to me.

The assault continued, unrelenting, endless. Every aspect of her life sunk into me like it was meant to be there.

BELLA POV

Edward actually threw up, and Jasper did soon after. "Talk to me Jasper, talk to me!" Alice cried, smoothing his hair, his face, and his clothes.

"So---m-much" Jasper man-screamed. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lilly shudder.

"So much what? Emotion?!" Alice said frantically.

"P-p-p-pain-" Jasper spit out.

"Edward. Tell me who you're seeing!" I said, almost mimicking Alice. Emmett and Rosalie hovered, unsure what to do.

Edward and Jasper and Lilly gasped for breath at the same time.

"Edward!" I cried, my voice going through at least 3 octaves.

"…Vic…vict-victoria." He managed to wheeze. I froze. She. Was. Dead. Right?!

After a few more minutes, Edward and Jasper collapsed with exhaustion, Lilly too. They moved. She didn't. I held Edward up; if I was human, I would be bawling my eyes out.

None of them spoke.

Then Lily stood up. Ramrod straight, eyes still sightless, she began to spew words, phrases.

"Mom, just call the cops! He can't hurt you anymore, I won't let him! Dad, don't you touch her again-" Then she breathed heavily like she was running. "Who are you, are you the police?! Go to the house over there, my dad is going to kill my mom-help-help…What are you doing! Get—off-"

Then she screamed bloody murder, still standing. Carlisle couldn't even move her. It was like she was glued to the floor. She started to narrate almost, her voice changing drastically with different characters.

"Victoria! You little Bitch! I'll kill you too! Where are you…you can't hide from me-" Then she choked, like she had been stabbed. She did this all with a deep, guttural voice.

Then she changed to smooth as velvet. "Damn-she's changing. Damn it-"

Then she collapsed. Like real faint and hit the floor. When Carlisle opened one of her eyes, it was red, like a newborn vampire.

"Emmett, get her upstairs." He managed to spit out.

Well. I hope you can kind of piece together my version of Victoria's transformation. Even after proofreading at least three times, it doesn't seem that easy to understand. Any questions, review. But it was fun to write. XD
