I wasn't sure exactly where my perfect moments that I was sharing with Edward, turned into a dream.
One moment I was melting into Edwards arms, looking at his face, breathing him in, and now I was in a dark, opened field and the smell of what I could only guess was dead bodies. I wasn't alone though.
There were several dark figure in the center of the field, all dressed in black cloaks. They could only be the Volturi. I knew it was them; I could taste them in my throat.
The Volturi soldiers stood in a small circle. They were surrounding something or someone. I edged closer to them, not even thinking anything of it. I wanted to see what they were being so drawn to.
I finally saw what they were looking at. It was me, I was lying on the ground, and my Edward was crouching above me. What were we doing here?
I saw a chill open in his vivid, blood red eyes. I then saw Edward pull out a knife blade from underneath his cloak and he took it and slid it across my throat.
My eyes flew open as I bolted straight up. I grabbed and held onto to my throat, trying to get out of the nightmare. I didn't know what to think of it. Why had I dreamed that? I looked out the glass window, and saw that the sky was gray. I waited for my heart to slow down again.
The time I spent with Edward was amazing. We finally gave into each other, and it was perfect.
"Bella"
Edwards's soft voice came from beside me as he sat next to me on the bed, he pulled me onto his lap instantly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and clung onto him closer.
I was beginning to be feeling scared of what was to come. I didn't know what to expect.
The Volturi would soon be here, and there was nothing that could stop it. I knew Edward would protect me with everything he had/
It was my afterlife that made my stomach turn. I would be wild and out for blood. Would I be able to stop from killing the lives of the innocent? I knew when it came down to it; Edward would stop me from doing any aspect of harm to me. I could handle anything because I had Edward.
I trusted him more than anything else in the world.
Edward put his hands on both sides of my face and kissed my mouth gently.
"I love you Bella. I won't let anything happen to you."
I touched his lips with my fingertips.
My heart skipped a beat and I don't know why his words terrified me. I wanted this. I wanted to be one of them. I wanted to be with Edward, all of this sent chills all over my body and I knew Edward felt it.
Edward scooped me off the bed and brushed my cheek gently. I quickly dressed in a dark pair of jeans and a white flannel shirt and made my way downstairs with Edward to meet with the rest of the family.
To begin my transformation, I could already feel my heart stop.
We stood in the middle of the living room now. I felt eyes gazing at me. Waiting; waiting for something. Silence took over the room and it was Edward who finally spoke, his voice full of frustration.
"I'm taking her away, somewhere that they'll never find her." Edward wrapped his arms tightly around my waist.
I tore myself from his grasp. Knowing that he was the one to let me go, I would have never been able to get out of his grasp, if he didn't let me go.
"No" I told him firmly.
The family turned to me, their faces full of shock.
"Bella; please" Edward whispered.
The tension filled the air. I was trying to take deep breaths.
"I won't go Edward. We can't, and you know that. It would only make things worse for us. We would never know any kind of peace or happiness."
I tried to keep my voice secure. I know they heard the panic in my voice.
"Edward… It takes three days for a transformation. We don't have enough time." I finished.
Edward stared down at me, staring into my eyes. "None of that matters Bella."
I saw Alice and Rosalie flicker their eyes back and forth.
Carlisle nodded and began to speak.
"The Volturi are determined to end Bella's life...We must act now."
I was cold; I wrapped my arms around my body. I felt frozen, standing next to Edward and Emmett was on the other side of me.
I shivered. 'What happens if I'm still human when they arrive?"
"More than likely...They'll kill you." Edward whispered, he took my hands and entwined our fingers.
"Unless you--"I started, but was cut off by Rosalie.
"We don't have time for this. Edward you have to do it. Now! The Volturi will kill her without a glance."
Edward's hand caressed my cheek and his eyes were pleading with mine.
I took a deep breath.
"It's okay... What's the plan?" I asked, putting as much strength into my voice as I could.
This wasn't how I planned I would be changed. It was supposed to be perfect. Wasn't it?
"Edward will turn you here." Carlisle replied.
I tried to speak but no sound came out of me. Edward pulled me closer to his body and breathed me in my kissing the top of my head.
"When?" I asked weakly.
"Now" Edward replied, turning my body so I was facing him.
Edward traced the outlines of my face gently with his fingertips.
"Is it going to hurt?" I asked my voice cracking. I already knew the answer.
Edward closed his eyes and brought me against his chest, hugging me, holding me tighter, with his arms wrapped around me.
Edward then instantly pulled back and whirled me behind him.
There was a loud knock at the door.
Edward looked over at Carlisle and then rest of the family and nodded.
Instantly I knew what stood behind those doors. I felt my knees go weak as I grasped onto Edwards arm.
"It's Aro and Dementri, be ready for anything, they don't touch Bella, understand?" Edward firmly stated.
Carlisle then opened the door and they both walked din casually, like they didn't have a care in the world, they made no sudden moments to attack.
They walked over and stood and front of Edward, staring past him to look at me.
"Well. Well. Bella. Heart is still beating I hear." Dementri said. "We'll have to fix that."
Edward let out a low growl. "That's enough"
Neither Aro nor Dementri seemed to be phased by Edward and that itself scared me to the core.
"Dementri. Don't fuss. I'm sure we could allow more time with this, after all it would be a waste to kill Bella." Aro said.
Edward let out another growl and took a step forward, I grabbed onto his arm, not wanting to let go.
"Now. Now. Edward. Aro can break her body where she stands." Dementri growled back to him.
"Are you ready to oblige Mr. Cullen? Aro asked Edward.
Edward composed himself in front of my and reached behind him and grabbed my hand.
Dementri gave an evil grin. "Take her upstairs, we'll give you privacy. You have ten minutes...if you do not do what is asked…I'll snap that little neck of hers you love so much."
I felt the air leave my body. I couldn't grasp what was going on around me.
Edward and I stood in the middle of our room. Not saying anything. His eyes were saying all I needed to know.
We had nine minutes left.
I started into his eyes, and his were burning into mine.
"I love you." I whispered.
He smiled, it's what I wanted and needed to see, he moved his fingers through my hair.
"I love you." he whispered, it was so low, but I heard him clearly.
"Will you still love me? I asked, looking up at him, I was searching his face.
We had eight minutes left.
Edward pulled me to the bed, picked me up and sat me in the middle of the bed with him. He kissed my neck.
"Forever" He whispered into my ear.
He took my face in his hands and leaned into me. He kissed me softly, and then suddenly it was stronger, full of passion and need. Edward put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to his body.
We had six minutes left.
Edward then brought out a syringe from his pocket; it was filled with a clear liquid.
Edward took a deep breath. "It's morphine. It will help ease the….pain."
I knew Edward had a difficult time, knowing I was going to be in pain.
I could only nod; Edward took my arm and inserted the needle into my vein. I felt numbness take over me instantly, as the drug was inserted into my body.
We had four minutes left.
"Close your eyes." He begged.
I nodded, I looked at him one last time and I closed my eyes. I felt Edward trace the curve of my neck; he ran his fingers along my arms, all the way down to my wrist. He then stopped.
Edward leaned forward ad pressed his lips to my neck, kissing it tentatively.
"Edward" I whispered, tears running down my cheek.
Two minutes.
Edward's teeth then sunk into my neck. My eyes bolted back open. They were razor sharp. His teeth braced down to my wrist, taking into his mouth sinking his teeth into the same mark James had given all those years ago. I felt blood pour out of me.
My screams echoed throughout the entire house. The pain was unbearable I wanted it all to stop. I tried to keep my eyes focused on Edward, but he was fading.
Edward held onto my hands, letting me hold onto him, I was slipping into the darkness and I didn't want to lose him.
"Edward! Make it stop!" I managed to scream, throughout the pain that was going through my body.
I felt Edwards tears fell down on my cheek.
"It will all be over soon Bella." He breathed, kissing my hands.
Then blackness swallowed me. Death was coming.
REVIEWS PLEASE! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
