Disclaimer: Fun Fact! My name isn't Stephanie Meyer.

This chapter is dedicated to Sarkule because she said she'd go and read INVX's work (which I suggest you do). Thanks. Also, I'm switching something around so that now as soon as you drink the animal blood your eyes are golden instead of waiting a year for it to slowly change to golden.

Chapter 25 (By the way, this is Bella's point of view now.)

I took a deep breath. Yes. I was nervous. Of course I was. I was about to be bitten and changed into a vampire. Of course, I'd been waiting for this day for so long, but once it came, I was still scared

My mind was racing. I was lying on an examination table in a room that had no mirrors or windows. Just a door, two chairs and the table.

Edward entered the room. He sat down beside me in one of the chairs and took my hand. I turned my haed and looked at him. He smiled at me. "You ready?" He asked.

"Yes," I said. He stood up, quickly. He bent over me and kissed my forehead. I slammed my eyes shut and clamped my teeth together. Any moment now, he would bite into me.

As I had predicted, he swept my hair away and bit down on my neck. I cried out in pain.

"Bella?" Edward asked, frantically.

"Edward!" I cried. My neck started to burn. Then my head. Then my chest. Then my arms. Then my torso. Soon, my whole body was engulfed in flames. It burned. I wanted the fire to be put out. It was like a very painful itch that couldn't be scratched.

"Edward, make it stop," I sobbed. "Make the fire go away."

"It'll be fine," He soothed me. I held my hands out. Edward grabbed one. My mother grabbed the other. I was in so much pain I didn't notice her come in.

"Don't leave me," I said, in tears.

"We won't," Edward and Rosalie said in unison. I shrieked and everything blacked out.

I had woken up every so often in the past three days. I was in so much pain. But then… on the last day… it stopped. The burn was gone… mostly. Only in my throat did it remain. It was my thirst. I sat up quickly and looked around. There I saw Edward, his eyes black, and my parents, their eyes a dark ember. They hadn't hunted. They were waiting for me.

"Bella?" Edward asked. I looked at him.

"Edward?" I responded.

"Holy shit!" cried Daddy.

"Emmett!" cried Mommy.

"What?" I asked.

"Bella," said Daddy. "You're gorgeous."

I crumpled my eyebrows. Edward turned me so that I faced a mirror. Daddy was right. Who was the unfamiliar, yet stunning face that looked back at me? I didn't recognize myself I was so pretty. I looked around my new face to find a feature that was similar to what I was before. I looked and looked and found one thing: my upper lip was slightly larger than my lower one. I was still there. Deep down, I was still there.

I looked back at Edward. Somehow, his glorious face was even better than it was before. He took my hand and pulled me to him. He pulled me into a hug that would have crushed me just a few days ago. He no longer had to be gentle with me. It was me who had to be gentle with him.

I squeezed his hand lightly and smiled up at him.

"Ow," he said, "That hurt, love."

"It did?" I asked, in my unfamiliar chime-like voice.

"Yes," He said, "You're so much stronger than I am now."

Daddy laughed. "Fun, fun," He said. He held his arms out for a hug that I couldn't deny him. I let go of Edward's hand and want to embrace my father. I realized that his hug no longer was cold. We were the same temperature now. I didn't need a sweater to hug my parents anymore. I turned to my mother and gave her a hug. She lightly kissed the top of my head and I grinned, as if I were five years old again.

The burning ache in my throat returned and I placed my hand on my neck. "Is that my… thirst?" I asked.

"Yes," said Edward. He grabbed my hand "You need to hunt."

I nodded my head slowly and looked at my parents. "You're coming too?" I asked.

Mom grinned at me while Dad said, "Someone has to teach you how to hunt a bear!"

I giggled my bell-peal giggle and started to walk out of the room, my parents and Edward trailing close behind me.

My first hunt. Oh Joy.

Okay, Okay, Okay. I know that this chapter is EXTREMELY short and I haven't updated in a million years, and I'm sorry. It was the best I could do. Forgive me?
