Rosalie POV

Burning. I didn't know how long or when the burning started. I was constant pain. My only real conclusion was that I had died and gone to hell.

I thought the pain would never end, but eventually, it did.

When I woke up, I looked around and realized that I could see everything. EVERYTHING. I could see clearly the tiny dust particles in the air, and the threads that wove together to make the blanket that was covering me.

I pulled the blanket down and discovered I was wearing pj shorts and a cami. My skin was snow white and perfectly smooth.

All of the sudden Emmett burst through the door.

"Rosalie! Your awake!" he yelled.

His voice was so loud, I cringed away, but he pulled me into his chest anyway and held like his life depended on it.

The major difference I noticed was his skin was no longer hard or cold. He felt softer and warm.

"Emmett, what happened?" I asked softly.

I knew that I must have gotten hurt, but I had no idea how I got hurt.

Emmett's face fell.

"Let's not talk about that right now," he said, "In fact, let's not talk at all."

He then captured my lips in his and began to kiss me passionately. I let it drop for now, and kissed him back.

After we broke apart, Emmett cupped my face in his hands.

"Rosalie, there is something I need to explain to you," he said cautiously.

"Ok?" I responded.

"Well, you got hurt really badly so Carlisle kind of…well, he couldn't do anything to save you, so he…well…hebityouandnowyour'reavampire…I AM SO SORRY!"

"Excuse me? I'm a what?!"

"Well, a vampire?"

"A vampire?! What the hell, Emmett, do I really look that stupid?"

But as I said this, everything started to add up. Everything was louder , my eye sight was beyond perfect, and my skin was absolutely flawless, scars that I had before were no longer visible.

Emmett just sat there with a regretful look on his face.

"So I'm really a vampire?" I whispered.

Emmett nodded, "I am so sorry Rose, I am so selfish."

I took Emmett's hand in mine.

"No Emmett, you are the most amazing person I know. Never say that again, you are not selfish."

"But I am Rosalie, I dragged you into my life when I knew there was going to be serious complications and now I let you become eternally damned to this existence."

"I could never be damned to anything if I was with you. I could burn in hell, and as long as you were with me, it would be heaven."

For the next half hour Emmett explained to me all about my new existence. I learned about our diet, as well as my knew abilities. Apparently he and his family did not drink humans but sustained themselves off of animal blood instead. This made me glad, but I still was not crazy about drinking blood period. Although Emmett said that it wouldn't be a problem once I went hunting, and my instincts kicked in.

"Emmett?" I asked after he was done with his explanation.

"Yeah babe?"

"What happened to me…you know, how did I get so hurt that Carlisle had to bite me?"

Emmett stiffened.

"Rose, do you really want to know, I mean it is probably better that you don't even remember it."

"No Em, I need to know how I…well, how I died."

"Well, somehow, during school Royce, kidnapped you and took you to this desolate cottage in the woods, and that's when, well, he hurt you," Emmett carefully explained.

It all came flooding back. James. The woods. Driving back with the creepy man. Royce branding, torturing and finally raping me. All the horrific memories flooded my mind in vivid detail. It was like I was reliving the whole experience in high def.

"What happened to Royce?" I asked numbly.

"Jasper and I killed him," Emmett replied.

I just nodded. I don't think that I could completely comprehend the fact that Royce was dead. He had been my tormentor all my life and to think that he was finally gone…it was just too surreal.

"Are you mad?" Emmett asked.

"God no Emmett, you just killed the man who ruined my childhood. I am glad he's dead."

"Oh ok, well good, I mean when you didn't say anything I just thought that maybe…"

I cut him off, "Emmett, I was silent because it was so much to take in. Royce has always controlled me, and I guess I always thought of him as immortal, you know, like for the rest of my life he would always be there, controlling me and using me. Now that he is gone I just feel so free. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

Emmett pulled me onto his lap and cradled me in his arms. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulders. I felt so secure. I knew that it would be a long time before I could get over what happened to me, but as long as Emmett was with me, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Rosalie," Emmett started, pulling me out of my thoughts, "I think that we should probably go hunting now."

"You mean for blood?" I asked stupidly. I mean we were vampires what else were we going to hunt for?

"Yes, for blood."

"Ok, lets go."

We set off into the woods behind the Cullen home. Emmett took my hand and we began running at impossible speed. In no more than 10 minutes we were about 45 miles away from Forks.

"Alright Rose, I want you to smell the air and tell me what you smell," Emmett said.

I timidly stuck my nose up and inhaled.

"I smell trees and nature things, I guess?" My observations came out more like a question than an actual statement.

"Concentrate harder," Emmett urged "Do you smell anything sweet?"

Now that he had mentioned it, I did smell something sweet. The scent was mouth watering.

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, excitedly.

"Blood," Emmett replied "There is a heard of deer about a mile away. Follow me."

We took off running again, and soon we were crouched behind some brush, and a large heard of dear were about 200 feet away, grazing and lazing about. There smell was so enticing I didn't even wait for Emmett to give me further direction. I sprang from our spot and launched myself towards one of the bucks. It tried to take off, but I was too fast for it. I grabbed the animal by its neck and snapped it. Then I bit down on its throat and began greedily feasting off of it.

Blood was getting everywhere, but I didn't care. All my mind could focus on was the delicious liquid running down my throat, soothing the burning.

When the buck was completely dry I stood up and looked around. Emmett was nearby draining his own deer. He looked so graceful. He didn't spill a drop of blood, and my shirt was soaked in it. I was disgusting.

Suddenly Emmett's head snapped up and he looked at me. I cringed away. He must have thought I was absolutely feral the way I had hunted. I decided to run back to the Cullen house as fast as I could. I needed to get out of these clothes and get clean. The feeling of being dirty and disgusting was suffocating me.

I turned around and booked it for home. I heard Emmett call after me but I ignored him. I kept running until I reached the beautiful white mansion.

Yeah Rosalie woke up! lol.
