I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not. It took me along time to figure out how to write this chapter, and it's not that good, but i hope you enjoy:)

Bella POV

"BELLA?!" I heard a low deep voice.

I moaned. Everything hurt; my head, my legs, my arms, everything, especially my neck. I lifted my arm and found two crescent shaped scars, then on the other side, one scar. I put my palm against my forehead and started to rub. It felt good, but the pain didn't subside. All this time, my eyes were closed.

"Bella?! Are…are you ok?" I felt cold hands everywhere. My head, my lips, my legs, my stomach, then the touched my chest and I felt my heart beating rapid against the hands. My eyes popped open and found a pair of pale hands attached to equally pale arms attached to a body until I finally found a face. Somehow the face was familiar. I recognized it.

Its eyes, its mouth, its nose, and the hair that fell down hiding the thick eyebrows; like I was looking at a dream I had conjured.

"Bella?" I met the eyes, so dark and cold, but frightened. "Say something…say something to me." His hands grabbed my shoulders with a firm grip.

"Where am I?" I said and I heard a deep sigh come out of the person in front of me.

"You're at home. At home in our room."

"You and me…share a room?"

"Well, yeah…again, are you ok?" The eyes stared at me with the deepest concern.

"Um, well, first off…who are you?" Big black dots came in and out of focus.

"Edward, I told you it wasn't going to be good." A tiny girl came from behind a door. Her black, spiky hair matched the black of the boys' eyes.

"And you?" I asked her.

"Alice," she smiled at me, the boy, 'Edward', was still in shock.

"Alice," she looked from me to Edward and back at me, "what…" she answered my unspoken question.

"You two are married, having you ask who he is, kind of took him off guard."

"Oh…I recognize him, if that makes any difference." I smiled and looked at him.

"I'm fine." He got up and walked out of the room.

"Ok, now, can you help me get up?" I asked Alice.

"Sure." She smiled at me and helped me up off the couch. He skin was soft, softer than any skin I could remember.

"How do you feel?"

"Fine, just a little hungry."

"That's to be expected. Your transformation took a little longer than hoped for."

"Wait, what?! Transformation? What transformation? What am I? Human… I know I'm human, but what? Do I have, like, some weird power now?" I shook my arm and nothing happened.

"Um, Bella…I know this may come as a shock to you, but your not human. You look like one, but your not."

"Then what am I?" I asked slowly.

"A vampire."

"Wh-wh-what?"

"A vampire. I told you you'd be shocked. Here, let's go downstairs." She took me by the arm and took one step. In that one step we were immediately downstairs in front of what had to be other vampires.

"Bella," a woman came up to me and pulled me into a big hug. She too had soft skin that made the hug even sweeter. I looked at everyone when the woman let go. There were two boys and a man. One was tall, one was muscularly large, and the other was regularly sized with biceps. The boy named Edward was not with them. There were two ladies along with the girl named Alice. One was extremely beautiful, they all were, but she was even more so. The other was pretty but seemed softer, kinder.

"Bella," I looked up and saw the man talking. "My name is Carlisle. This is Emmett and Jasper, and Rosalie and Esme. You have been introduced to Alice and Edward." Edward walked into the room and stood by my side. Out of habit, I leaned into him and allowed his arm to wrap around my waist.

Everyone stared at me in aw while I was still trying to figure out what I had done.

"Because she is one of us, she will regain her memory faster than she would as a human." Carlisle said triumphantly.

"Come on," Edward said into my ear. He grabbed my hand and ran. It wasn't hard to keep up with him, but he was running faster than I could.

"Where are we going?" I asked when we stopped.

"Somewhere special." A clearing opened ahead of us and swallowed us without warning.

I fell.

"Ok, stay right here, don't move, and close your eyes." He said. I obeyed. Soon his arms were under me, my eyes still closed. We were running, I could feel the wind around me.

"Keep them closed." I heard Edward say when I tried to peek.

The scene changed, the sun was down and I, still human, was sitting on a blanket looking up.

"Aren't the stars beautiful? I miss seeing them; the clouds are always in the way." I tilted my head back, exposing my neck.

A scream and a growl boomed loudly in my ears.

"Bella?" Edward's arms were around me, I lying in his lap.

"Edward?" I heard a sigh of relief. I thought about telling him that I remembered something, but I thought I would leave it until I knew everything; I knew things weren't together yet.

"Now, if only I could read that little mind of yours. Then I could know what you're thinking." He smiled down at me a glorious crooked smile. I remembered that.

"You're blushing." He said, the smiled left his face and he got up.

"What's the matter with me blushing?" I asked getting up with him.

"You're a vampire. You're not supposed to blush. Blushing is for humans, but I do love the look." He looked at me, my confusion took over.

"Wait, you can read minds. That's your advancement…so what if mine is being able to blush…that's a weird one." I sat back down and looked at him, this time confusion wracked at his face.

"When you fell, did you remember something?"

"Why?"

"Because you just 'remembered' that we have advancement, mine is a form of mind reading. Yours could be blushing, but that could be a trick of the light." He said, walking over to me, human speed.

"Um…maybe…" I smiled up at him when he got over to me. He dipped down and sat on his knees.

"Please tell me what you saw."

"Um, I saw you and me. Back at the house. Then we were running and you were telling me to keep my eyes closed." I closed my eyes so I could remember. "Then the scene changed, we were here, at night, and I was saying something about how the stars were beautiful, then I heard a scream, girls, so it must've been mine, and a growl, that must've been yours." I opened my eyes to look at him, but he was over on the other side of the meadow.

"You remembered all of that… in the little time that you had fallen." He stared at me.

"I guess."

"Wow… I don't know what your power, or advancement is, but I think it might have something to do with that."

"What do you mean, 'have something to do with that'? It was just part of my remembering. I'm not a freak." His beautiful eyes turned to liquid, if they weren't before.

"I wasn't trying to imply that you were a freak, just that your little memory might have something to do with what your advancement is." He was over to me in a flash; somehow it was still fast, even with me being a vampire.

"Ok, so now what? We sit here and wait for more memories to come, or can we go into town? These clothes are just a little too human for me." I said, surprised that I had said it.

"Um, you can't go into town."

"Why not?"

"Because you're supposed to be dead."

Ok... give me ideas!!! What should Bella's 'advancement' be? cause I have no idea!!! WOOT WOOT!! ;)
