"Good morning, sunshine." Alice greeted. "Morning." I responded in a hoarse voice. I opened my eyes reluctantly, I was exhausted. "Breakfast will be served in ten minutes." Alice mused. "Someone made me breakfast?" I said shocked. Alice giggled and rolled a wheelchair to the side of the bed. "I'm not using that." I stated. Alice glared and spoke quickly.
Just when I was going to question Alice, Jasper and Edward appeared. "Hello, my name is Jasper. Its a pleasure to finally meet you." Jasper said kindly. "Same here." I replied. I felt anxious and excited at the same time, I wanted to become like Edward. Edward looked at Jasper and after a few seconds Edward shook his head in disagreement with whatever Jasper told him.
Alice smiled and took Jasper's hand and they headed downstairs. "What were you thinking?" Edward asked cautiously. "The truth?" I questioned. Edward nodded and carried me to the wheelchair. "I was thinking about becoming a vampire." I confessed truthfully. Edward let out a low hiss and his face became angry and hard. "And that makes you anxious and excited?" Edward gritted through his teeth.
My eyes were focused on the floor as I responded to his question. "I already told you that I want you always. Its the only way we can be together." Edward shook his head and knelt down besides me. "Your just a kid, you don't understand the sacrifice or the strength that is takes to be like us. Its in a vampire's nature to want to drain a human but we resist the temptation. When your a newborn you have no control over your actions." Edward paused briefly letting it all sink in.
"Its not a lifestyle I wish you to have." He continued. "Forget it." Edward said coldly. I bit my tongue knowing that I couldn't win with Edward right now. I'd have to wait and find a new tactic. I rolled my eyes and huffed letting Edward know that he won this fight. Edward smiled responsefully and rolled me out his room. Before this year was over I would become a vampire and there was nothing anyone could do to change my mind.
When we reached his kitchen none of the Cullens were present. "Where is everyone?" I asked looking right at Edward. "They thought that we'd like some privacy." Edward said with a smirk. I giggled and took in the smell of the delicious food that was set in front of me. "Wow. This smells amazing." I said. Edward sat next to me while I ate. After a few bites it hit me that I was wearing the same clothes for two days. "Crap." I mumbled. I looked down and to my surprise I was wearing black shorts and a yellow tank top.
"Alice went back to your house and picked up a few of your belongings." Edward said. He chuckled at my expression. "Bella, you look lovely. Though I must admit it is taking a great deal of strength to resist you in those clothes." Edward teased. My face blushing immediately at Edward's comment. Edward touched my hot face and smiled. Edward took me back upstairs and let me have a human minute. I brushed my teeth and quickly brushed threw my straight hair.
When I came out of the bathroom Edward was lying down on the bed with his eyes shut. He looked so peaceful and perfect. I smiled as I approached him, he got up and with an impossible speed carried me on the bed. I rested my head on his chest while he played with my hair. I loved every second I spent with Edward but I couldn't help but feel that my time with him was limited as long as I was human. I fell asleep instantly.
I woke up screaming and trembling. "Its ok, love. It was only a dream." Edward whispered. I hugged him as the tears poured down my face. When I calmed down I sat up and looked away from Edward. "What was your dream about?" Edward asked curiously. I shook my head and moved to the edge of the bed. I raised my hand stopping Edward from assisting me to the wheelchair. Edward ignored my attempt and lifted me up by my elbows. I looked at Edward and he froze. Something in my eyes must of told him that I needed to be alone.
He let go and just stood there motionless. I sat down on the wheelchair and rolled to the bathroom. I rinsed my face with cold water and let the tears fall freely. I couldn't believe what I dreamt, it was so horrible. The look on Charlie's face; the sound of all his bones shattering sent a chill throughout my entire body. The look she gave me as she approached me. My heart started pounding as the image of Victoria ripping Edward limb from limb played repeatedly in my head.
My body began to tremble and I fell out of the chair and started shakinging uncontrollable. I couldn't move or scream, I had no control over my body just my mind. Edward rushed in and held me down, it wasn't until Edward called Carlisle and didn't want to move me that I realized I was having a seizure. I felt a weird sense of comfort that Edward was with me. I felt my body calming down as I felt Carlisle inject me with something, a numbing sensation washed over my body causing my eyes to close.
"Forget it." I heard someone say faintly. Those were the last words I heard.
