Sophie's POV

Jasper crept towards me. I couldn't look away from his eyes. They were black. I thought his eyes were golden? He stepped closer to me and sniffed the air. A low snarl crept through his lips. I was frozen on the ground. He leant forward into a crouch. My senses were screaming at me to run but my body wouldn't move. He bared his teeth menacingly. It was all happened too fast. Too fast for me to think. Too fast for me to react. He shot forward and lunged for my throat. I heard myself screaming as he pinned me to the floor and I heard something crack inside my chest. Then his face came to my neck and he bit me. All I could feel was pain. Every part of me hurt. My vision was tunnelled but I still managed to see a white blur knock Jasper off of me. The Bella was at my side. She was saying something but I couldn't hear her. I could only think of the pain. It began to burn. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. Why was I on fire? Why was Bella just staring at me? I wanted to scream at her, I wanted her to put the fire out or kill me, but my breath just came in short little gasps, not enough to make any noise. My lungs wouldn't let me draw in any more breath. Then Edward was there. He looked at Bella for a moment then nodded. He leaned forward towards my neck. Was he going to hurt me too? I could feel his cold lips on my neck where the warm liquid was flowing quickly. But instead of more pain it began to soothe. The fire slowly died away and I could feel myself slipping into the darkness.

A bright light? No, it was dark. Where was I? I'm dead. I'm sure I'm dead. There must be a light somewhere. I tried to get up but a sharp pain shot through my chest, I gasped and fell back down. I felt on my chest and found something plastic and hard. I couldn't move properly. So I was stuck here all alone in the dark. Great. What had happened? We were at the dance and Jacob and Quil ran out. I choked as I remembered Jasper. He bit me. What sort of normal person bites someone? But he wasn't normal; I knew that from that first glimpse I got of his wild ferocious face in the forest. The whole Cullen family wasn't normal. My mind was slowly noting odd this I had noticed about them but ignored. They were all deathly pale, their skin was ice-cold, they all had the same golden colour. They never ate; they always had some sort of excuse. Who or what were they? But did it matter now if I was dead. Or was I dead? I'm so confused. If I'm not dead then where is everybody? Just as I thought this a door I hadn't seen opened. I squinted in the sudden light coming from the doorway. A light inside the room was switched on and I blinked until my eyes adjusted. I was in my room. So I wasn't dead. Bella walked gracefully to my bed and knelt beside me. The put her hand on my arm and I automatically cringed away from it, this hurt my ribs and I cried out in pain. Bella seemed to get the hint and leant away from me. My heart was hammering. I was pretty sure she could easily kill me if she wanted. I wanted to run but I knew I would never make it two steps across the room before I fell. Judging by the speed of Jasper that night, even if I was well enough to run Bella would catch me. I remembered that night all too clearly. I wanted to forget it but I couldn't, it was planted in the front of my head replaying over and over again. Bella sat and watched me suffer while I burned. She didn't help me. But what if she couldn't, what if there was nothing she could do, an annoying voice inside my head squeaked. If Edward could help me why couldn't she. I retorted.

Bella was still beside me and I was still staring at her. "Sophie," she said in her soft voice. "I'm so sorry. None of us wanted this to happen but Jasper…" I cringed at the sound of his name "lost control."

"What's going on? What are you?" My voice sounded hoarse and my throat felt tight. I wanted to cry.

"It's hard to explain. You'll have to promise to take me seriously. Nothing I'm about to tell you is made-up." I thought this over for a second.

"Okay. Go ahead."

"Your world is full of mythical creatures. I'm…We are part them."

"Whose we?"

"My family and Jacob, Quil, Embry and Seth." I waited for her to continue. I don't think I could have spoken anyway. "We…we are vampires." I didn't feel any urge to laugh. Her expression was dead serious. I believed her. "I used to be normal like you but some things happened and I had to be turned into a vampire. Edward saved my life. He bit me and now here I am." I felt my expression turned shocked. I was bitten. Was I one of them? Bella saw the change on my face and shook her head "Its okay, your not a vampire."

"How….Why?"

"Edward sucked the venom out before it could spread and change you. When a vampire bites a person they leave venom and it begins to spread around the body, turning you into a vampire. That is of course if the vampire doesn't kill you first." I shuddered and she smiled at me apologetically. I could have died. What would have happened then? What would they have told my parents…Matt…Rhiannon? "I know this is an awful lot for you to take in but you have to know, and you must keep it a secret."

"Of course," I whispered. I was staring at the ceiling now, deep in thought. "So all your similarities, you know the pale skin and gold eyes, they mean you're a vampire?"

"Yes. I didn't realize you had noticed."

"Yeah but I never really linked them to you being vampires." Bella laughed lightly at this.

"That's good."

"So what about Jacob? You said he was part of this too but he doesn't have pale skin or gold eyes,"

"Well he's a Werewolf."

"A Werewolf! Wow. Has he always been one?"

"No. He stared phasing, turning into a Werewolf, about a year ago."

"Wow," I really had nothing else to say. I should be scared, I know, but I just…wasn't. "So what happened that night? After I blacked out?"

"We found you when Jasper was…sucking you blood." She looked at my face measuring my reaction. I kept my face calm even though inside I was mentally cringing. "Edward threw him off you. They fought a bit but they are okay. Alice, Emmett and Rosalie arrived and took Jasper away. He so ashamed of himself."

"Then what?" I encouraged.

"Then Edward had to make the decision of whether to let the venom spread or save you. He decided to save you. You have a life and you should be able to live it without worrying about your thirst or watch everyone you love get older and die." Her tone was sad. I realized she would have to deal with this soon. At least she had Edward to help her through, I would have had no one. "We took you home and we called Carlisle."

"Carlisle?"

"Edwards Dad. Well not his real Dad but he was the one that turned Edward into a vampire. He is a doctor."

"Why didn't you just take me to hospital?"

"Because you had a bite mark in you neck. Not easy to explain." I laughed humourlessly. "Edward already knew what was wrong with you. Carlisle just told him what to do."

"Okay. Apart from the …bite what else was wrong with me?"

"You broke three of your ribs. We think it happened when Jasper leapt at you."

"He was so strong." I whispered.

"Its another vampire thing." There was so much to take in. it made me tired. All I wanted to do was sleep. I yawned widely. "You sleep. You need to rest," said Bella standing up. Bella left the room and I snuggled down into my quilt, wincing when I moved my ribs. I thought about Matt, was he worried? Did he know what was going on? What about Rhiannon? I closed my eyes and slowly drifted into a dreamless sleep.
