BPOV

I'd always known being bit by a vampire would be extremely painful. Yet as Edward's sharp teeth penetrated the thin skin of my neck, taking my blood; I knew I'd never felt such bliss. It had happen in a blur, Aro held me ready to change me himself; when I heard Edward's possessive snarl.

Now a beautiful heat was coursing through my veins, and I felt Edward sobbing against me.

"I've killed her. I've killed her." He moaned as he crumbled with me to the ground.

I wanted to comfort him and tell him I was okay, but I was numbed by the pleasurable fire that was spreading throughout my body. I heard Aro assuring him that he couldn't have possibly have killed me by drawing as little blood as he did. Still, he mused to himself; he had never heard anyone endure the transformation so quietly. I knew what he meant, the burning grew more intense and pressure inside of me was expanding rapidly, I bit my lip. It was so good.

Soon a want consumed me. I yearned to follow the blaze within me to release. My heart pounded within me, the wonderful flame had encompassed it and it exploded with one last beat. I could not hold back screams as gratification tingled my every nerve. Edward squeezed me tighter.

"I'm so sorry, Bella."

I opened my eyes.

"For what?" I asked as I moved to stand. Edward stood gaping at me.

Bewilderment could not begin to describe the look on every face in the room.

I wondered why everyone was staring at me; I thought that maybe my transformation had gone horribly wrong. I had thought it went smoothly, it was painless even. I felt fine, in fact since I'd thought of it, I never felt better. I felt graceful and strong. My eyes could see everything vividly. So many scents filled my nose each distinguishably beautiful. My ears rang with sounds undecipherable by the human ear, and as I thought of hearing I realized I could hear the voices of everyone in the room although no one was speaking. I felt like I could conquer the world; easily. Edward spoke first.

"Bella, your eyes…"

"I know. They're red…" part of me had known he would dislike this part of me when I changed.

"No… They're … actually… not a color I've ever seen before. Like every color put together but separate… I can't describe it…." Aro interrupted him.

"Yes, Bella, I must concur with Edward. You are utterly amazing; never in 3,000 years have I seen a transformation such as yours take place. I must know; what was it like?"

I thought back to the sweltering, sauna like heat that had pushed through my veins.

"It felt pretty good."

"Pretty …Good…" Aro and everyone else for that matter gaped at me unbelievingly.

I'd figured my screams had tipped them off to the truth.

"Okay, it was undeniably the best feeling I've ever physically had in my life…"

More gaping and bewilderment. Aro spoke again.

"Putting the most obvious oddities aside; I was wondering if you being changed are still…. How should I say… unresponsive? Would you be so kind?" He reached out his hand.

I grasped it confidently, strangely I didn't fear him then as I had only hours earlier. Upon touching him I felt a strange surge all over my body. Looking at him I could see the disappointment in his mind. How he had hoped to see inside of my mind. It was as if Aro, himself was telling me things, then it registered that he wasn't telling me anything, I was seeing it in his mind. I abruptly dropped his hand. He looked frustrated.

"I'll assume Jane will still be inept as I. Jane…?"

Before Edward could object, Jane focused her menacing stare upon me, furrowing her brow. I stared politely back and felt the surge that appeared with Aro again. Abruptly, Jane fell to the floor, screaming and convulsing as if she were having a seizure. "Stop!!!" she screamed, "Please!!!" she was in a strange agony. I couldn't help but watch her in wonder at what was causing her sudden pain. I turned to face Aro as he laughed and approached Jane as she lay quivering on the floor.

"Aha… Oh, darling I simply must know what it feels like to have your own power pain you so!"

When he touched her hand, something strange crossed his face. His mind said fear. Trying to appear unshaken, Aro whispered menacingly "How VERY interesting." Something weird was going on, I looked to Edward but his thoughts were as jumbled as mine were. I tried to sort through them.

"Incredible… she shines without sunlight and her eyes…beautiful…mine… Did she just reverse Jane's power? Aro can't honestly be afraid; it's impossible… I wonder if I can hear her now…" With his last thought something happened; in place of the surge I felt a tingling…

"Bella, is that you?" He'd detected me in his head.

"Maybe…" I said sheepishly, ashamed I'd been found filtering through his thoughts. I didn't feel bad for long as I soon discovered him doing the same. "So…It was really that good for you?" He was referring to my change. I decided I didn't like him seeing in my head so I shut my end. "Hey! Did you cut me off?" Edward sounded surprised and I saw the annoyance in his mind. "You're still in my head! You're not playing fair!" Our mind game was cut short by Aro's voice which was now warm and sweet.

"It seems that our Bella is more talented than I could have ever expected." As he spoke I saw the motive in his mind. Although he was extremely disappointed that I had taken his ability; he reasoned that Edward and I must join him. This was why he now addressed us with a politeness he didn't feel. Then I saw his greatest fear; his coven would realize he was powerless. Seeing this as my upper hand; I tucked it into the back pocket of my mind.

"That however is trivial at this time; he lied. Bella, my dear I am sure you are uncomfortable with thirst. Dmitri, could you please retrieve something to relieve her palate?" In his mind he assumed my newborn thirst as a means of control. I thought about that for a moment, and then I concluded. "No thanks I'm not thirsty." I spoke truthfully; examining myself I hadn't found any sort of want that I could associate with blood. "Some vampire I am…" I thought out loud snickering.

"Ha! Not thirsty!! Ha ha!!" apparently all three of the Volturi leaders found this hilarious. "Dmitri! Caius called in between guffaws, bring it in." Dmitri entered the room with a young boy, a toddler; his scent marking him as human, I saw the fear in his mind although it was also written plainly on his face. A feeling I'd never felt before consumed my being as I effortlessly ripped the boy from Dmitri's grip. Swiftly, Edward crushed me to the floor; his entire weight upon me. I violently pulled myself from him. I was enraged, he couldn't stop me.
