Little Bird: wow, thanks lol hope you like this chapter

Where the title comes from: it's the song "How To Save A Life" by The Fray. Since they're kinda saving her, I thought it fitted.

Chapter 12

How to save a life

A few days passed. Anny was getting worst every hour. When she wasn't crying, she was screaming in her sleep. None of the Cullen knew what to do. Rosalie tried to comfort her but it worked only half of the time. Anny didn't even want to go see the chef about Jeremy's problems. She said it would do nothing.

The 5th day, the Cullen "childs" were back at school and Carlisle was at the hospital. Esme was supposed to look over Anny, but the young teen was crying silently, alone in her room. Esme was out of the house, working in her garden, when she smelled blood. It wasn't animal blood, it was human and the smell was coming from the house. She ran to the main bathroom, where the smell came from. What she saw broke her heart.

Anny sat on the floor, half naked, with a knife in her hand. There were large cuts on her wrists, along with many other on her arms and chest. She had even cut her stomach, where the baby was supposed to be. There were tears falling on her cheeks and she shook her head, making them fly in a few directions, when Esme tried to take the knife away from her.

-Don't touch me...

-Anny please, give me the knife... We'll get this baby out of you and you'll feel better, but don't do this...

-I said DON'T TOUCH ME!!!

She screamed again and again while Esme ran for her phone. She called Carlisle and Alice, who said she'd give the message to the rest of the family. In a matter of minutes, everyone was back at the house. Emmett took Anny in his arms and Rosalie kept the knife away from her. The blood was still flowing from her cuts and most of them had a hard time dealing with it. Jasper was out of the bathroom with Alice, but Anny could hear him grumble. Emmett soon let her go to help his sister, while Carlisle took his place. Rosalie was looking at Anny with sadness in her eyes.

-We can't help her...

Rosalie's head shot up to look at her father's face and she glared at him.

-You're the doctor, Carlisle. You HAVE to do something!

-She's already lost too much blood, I can't do anything beside transform her.

They all heard Emmett screaming from outside.

-Then do it! I'm gonna let her die!

Rose shook her head sadly.

-Rose?

She sighed and kneeled next to her father.

-Do it.

Anny felt Carlisle pushing her hair away from her neck.

-It will hurt, but not for long. I'm sorry, Anny.

-Dr. Cullen? What are you...?

She never said the rest of her question as a scream came out of her mouth. Carlisle was biting her and a fire was spreading through her veins. She felt some of the blood she still had in her body being sucked by his mouth. She tried to move, but Rosalie kept her on the ground. The last things she saw were two golden eyes looking at her, almost wet from sadness.

****************************************************

Anny woke up in a blur. The fire in her body had calm down after many hours. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the light and she felt different. She didn't have much memory of how she'd arrived there, but it didn't bother her. She felt different. She looked around herself.

Everything was bright, but not in a bad way. She had no problems seeing every color and shapes, even in the darkness of the room. As she turned her head, she saw Rosalie in her boyfriend's arms right beside her. The blonde smiled at her friend. She still had sadness in her eyes, but there was a hint of something else. Hope, maybe? Another thing that caught Anny's attention was the smell. It was like a thousand distinct odours were floating in the air.

Rosalie tried to take her hand, but as soon as their skin touched, Anny jumped backward. She felt the wall right behind her. There was at least three metres between the bed and the wall, how could she jump there? Carlisle entered the room.

-Oh, hi Anny. I'm glad you're awake.

His voice was a murmur, but she heard him like he was talking normally.

-Why was I...?

She stopped talking and put her hands on her throat. Her voice was as clear as the crystal and it was more melodious and feminine then it ever had been. She looked around herself, feeling panic rise in her chest. The rest of the family entered the room at that moment and Edward answered her silent questions.

-Carlisle saved you.

She frowned.

-There was no other way to keep you from death. He bit you and the venom transformed you. Surprisingly fast, I have to say.

-The... venom?

She was still surprised by the sound of her voice, but she couldn't keep herself from questioning everything. It was so... weird.

-Look in the mirror. And try not to break a wall, if you jump back again.

She frowned again, but went to the mirror anyway. She let out a short scream when she saw her eyes. Her hands flew to her face.

-Why are my eyes red? What happened to me?

Rosalie got up and walked to her. Anny forced her body to stay still.

-They'll get gold like ours in a few months. Well, if you decide to drink animal's blood, anyway. They'll stay red if it's human.

-Animal's blood? Human's blood? I'm... I'm a vampire?

Every member of the family smiled. It was a shock. As she tried to recover from it, Anny heard a beat. It sounded like drum, but in a slow, magical way.

-What is this sound? I already heard it somewhere...

Edward jumped in front of Bella, protecting her. Jasper did the same, while Emmett put his hands on Anny's arms. The young girl looked at them, surprised.

-What? Did I say something wrong?

Edward and Jasper relaxed, both looking at her curiously.

-You don't smell her blood?

Anny sniffed and shrugged.

-I do, but it's not... appealing.

She smiled sadly to Bella.

-Sorry.

Everyone looked at her.

-What? Why do you keep looking at me like I'm an alien? I'm not that weird!

She turned to Carlisle.

-Am, I? Dr. Cullen... Am I a bizarre... vampire?

It was hard for her to say the word.

-No, I think you just are special. You want to come with me in the city? I know it's early for you, but I want to see something.

*********************************************************

They were walking on the sidewalk, when Anny stopped abruptly. Carlisle put his hand on her arm.

-What is it?

-I smell blood... it smells so good...

She turned her head to see Jeremy getting in a store. Emmett and Jasper, who were behind her, each took one of her arms. She groaned, trying to get out of their grip. After a few minutes, she stopped pulling and they released her. Carlisle seemed torn between smiling and sighing.

-I think we discovered your power.

-Power? Like Edward.

Behind them, Edward shook his head.

-It was only one person, Carlisle, I don't think it can apply to everyone of them.

-What are you talking about?

Both Edward and Carlisle watched her in silence. After a few long second, Edward spoke.

-Carlisle thinks you only want to drink the blood of people who "merit" it.

-Like bad people?

-Yeah.

-Cool!

They all frowned.

Yeah, you got it, Anny is now a super-vampire lol I just had to give her a power;) and don't think it's over yet, there's still 1 or 2 chapters to this part of the story!
