Chapter 26

Bella Pov:

I opened my eyes slowly feeling exhausted, and starving. I wanted to eat I needed the warm blood in my veins to feel. I slowly moved to sit up, and look around I was alone in the bed I shared with Carlisle. I couldn't remember a single time that I had been in this room without him, and the room seemed massive without him in it.

I slowly moved to my feet, and to the door making my way holding the wall to keep my balance. Why was I so weak? I didn't know that vampires ever got sick or weakened by anything. When I reached the bottom step I could smell Carlisle in the other room, and he smelled wonderful. Intoxicatingly delicious, and I lost myself to his sent.

I wanted to taste his skin to lick his neck where his head was turned in conversation with someone, who he spoke to I didn't care I needed to be close to my man to have my mouth on him. Nothing else mattered to me, I could feel myself being pulled lured towards him and I went along with it he was the only thing that mattered.

When I reached his side I ran my hand up his neck and into his hair lifting myself higher onto my toes I nuzzled his neck. I could see the vein under his pale skin the blue tint of his freshly fed blood hiding beneath. I could smell the musty scent of the elk he had dined on as well as the venom he had coursing through his system and it was calling to me.

Leaning in I licked over his jugular and tasted the slight metallic twinge before a rush of desire pushed me on, the next thing I new I was being pulled off Carlisle by a lot of strong hands that seemed to be having trouble stopping me. When I opened my eyes I could see two very clear pinprick marks on his neck that now dripped with a crimson red. I had bitten Carlisle?

Throwing my hand over my mouth with a gasp I fled the room running away from myself. From the look of confusion in his eyes, from the accusations all around me. When I stopped I had somehow tracked a group of deer and was in position to take one. I followed on with my desire to feed now less out of hunger and more out of fear that I would hurt someone if I didn't feed.

As I tackled the poor doe to the ground she kicked her feet as I sank my teeth, I drank her dry as I ached inside for her mews of pain. Better this poor animal than Carlisle I told myself when she finally stopped kicking. Sitting back I looked at the dead animal in my lap and the bloody mess I had made all over myself. I had always been in control, never felt any temptation to hurt anyone, maybe I was just like all other newborn vampires.

Or worse still maybe I was more dangerous even more of a threat because how many vampires hunted and fed on their own kind. With a sob I ran my hands over my face before stopping at my blood soaked lips at the tiny sharp sting on my fingertip. Gently I pressed and came in contact with two very sharp teeth that now protruded from my parted lips. Something was wrong with me… The others didn't have fangs like this.. Oh god what am I?

Carlisle Pov:

When Bella had walked into the room I had watched her move towards me as if in a trance. She looked different her hair slightly paler still with a thin long strand of white falling from her temple her eyes still that strange white blue as well. But, at least she was awake. I had even greeted her when she came to stand at my side elated to see that she was up, and no longer sleeping. When she had kissed my neck I had taken that as a greeting, but I quickly had changed my mind to think that perhaps I should instead take her back upstairs for some privacy as she intimately cuddled my neck causing me to rage for her.

Then within seconds I felt a sharp sting of pain and let out a surprised yelp as she bite me. Alice, and Rose who had been standing nearby while I spoke to Alistair who had only moments ago arrived sprang into action pulling Bella away from me. Alistair had a strange look on his face and Jasper who must have felt something in Bella's emotions had ran into the room his face worried.

"She needs to feed!" Jasper shouted.

"Oh God.." Bella gasped out and then in a flurry was gone from the room..

"Bella!" I shouted after her moving to chase her as Alistair grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"No, leave her. I understand now." Alistair said with his eyes full of wisdom, he was able to sense the powers another person possessed and having been near Isabella he clearly new what she was capable of.

"What is going on?" I shouted at him wanting to follow her not stand here and have a Dr. Phil moment. I needed to find, and comfort my mate to show her that she hadn't hurt me only startled me. If she needed my blood then Damnit she could have whatever was there.

"She needs it.. Not human, vampire." Jasper was muttering his face confused.

Everyone started talking at once and I turned again to leave tired of the chatter.

"Carlisle my friend wait, Jasper has the right of it. Bella is vampire of course, and she is a telepath as well although she has the power element as well. Rare indeed it is to find one who can control nature in a sense. But as I was saying Jasper could sense it before I could that she needs your blood well not yours necessarily but that of a strong vampire to replenish the energy she expended practicing her powers."

I listened as Alistair went on, "I have only met one other like her and it was long ago. The power to harness the element hers being water or ice as you can see by her changed appearance uses a lot of her strength and although she can survive on animal blood the mixed blood of a vampire who has fed coursing in their veins with the venom they produce gives her the added nutrients, and strength that normal blood would not. She is a rare gem indeed my friend, and one that I look forward to meeting properly."

"Carlisle I can feel her pain from here, she is so confused and ashamed.. Go to her." Jasper said interrupting Alistair.

Without another word, I left running through the house and into the fresh air. I picked her scent out immediately she smelled like nothing else, a mixture of flowers, and ice and I knew I would find her with ease…

Bella Pov:

As I sat their thinking of doom and gloom and all the things that could have gone wrong when I had been changed so suddenly without preperation I felt the shift in the air around me. Someone was coming lifting my head I took a deep breath and tried to pinpoint who it was.

A slightly sour apple and cinnamon smell hit me as I twisted to my fighting stance, vampire.. And not one that I knew..

"Well Well what have we here.. Finally separated from your protectors are you." A shrill voice hissed. I knew that voice, and I also knew that I was in deep shit. I was facing the one person who I knew for a fact wanted me dead, and I was in no condition to face her alone.

"Victoria.." I hissed back as she landed in front of me, her red eyes flaming she had fed recently I could smell the blood and see it in her features she was shockingly lovely considering she was such a royal bitch.

"Its so good to see that you are up, and about. I had worried I might have killed you prematurely last time that we met." She said her voice laced with hatred.

"Your not strong enough to finish me off." I spat back at her. Even weak I new I would be able to give her a run for her money.

"Oh la la … Grow a back bone did you?" She asked as she moved to crouch low..

"I am so bored this shit with you.. Can we just fight already?" I said just to shoot another little jab at her.

When she sprang I was ready, I twisted and she missed me by the barest of an inch between us. This time I wouldn't go down without a fight, and she wouldn't break the weak human I was going to kick her ass..
