A total of five days and Bella had not made a peep. On day 3 Carlisle had declared Bella's spine fully healed and Rosalie had wasted no time in carrying Bella upstairs and bathing the both of them. She'd then proceeded in placing them both in clean clothes and confining them to the bed. The window opened to rid her room of the remnant scent of Tanya who had clearly unpacked her and Bella's things when they'd arrived from Forks.
It was not that she had anything against the blonde coven leader. She absolutely loved Tanya and did see her family. That being said, she did not want one of the first scents Bella would wake up smelling to be Tanya's. Illogical, maybe, but her inner beast simply did not care about any of that.
She knew the presence of the others venom in the brunette made it so that they need to make sure Bella was changing okay. So she let them visit two at a time and touch her to calm their own inner vampires. After all, Bella did no just have one sire technically speaking.
The Denali's wisely did not venture past the steps of the first floor despite she and Bella being on the third.
Bella was fucked.
She'd burned herself once on an open flame….this was not the same thing. This felt like the fire had liquified and seeped into the very marrow of her bones and burned outwards never losing its intensity. She knew what the Cullen's had told her; a blazing inferno. Bullshit, this was like being sent to hell and then having God throw hell in the lake of fire. Yeah, two different things according to the Bible and the Lake of fire made Hell seem like a warm summer afternoon. This shit burned so much she wouldn't be surprised if she woke up a pile of ash with eyes. She didn't even know where her body parts were, she just felt like a flaming fucking mass. Also no one mentioned the feeling of the fire feeling like a snake in their veins. She'd never ask them to describe shit to her ever again.
Bella knew Rosalie was with her and while it did nothing to soothe the fire it did soothe her pained mind. Allowed her to have rational thought despite the flames that licked at her psyche with fervor. She hoped the blonde wasn't talking, because even if she wouldn't be expected to; she'd feel awful for not replying.
Time seemed impossible to track, she had no idea how long it had been but she knew it was enough time to relive her life several times over. As well as develop hope that she wouldn't be the first paraplegic vampire in existence since she could very much feel the fire in every part of her body down to her toes now.
It had been a jarring feeling, not being able to move her legs, feel them, or looking down and seeing the giant sheet of glass the had nearly cut her in half. She tried not to think about the way Rosalie had looked when she'd found her. That specific mix of relief and horror was not something the brunette was a fan of in the least bit. Except she failed miserably because apparently she liked to be very thorough in reliving her existence.
She could feel from time to time, the blonde touching at her mouth clearly wanting her to scream but there were very few things in life the brunette would deny her blonde goddess. Hearing her scream in pain and agony for however long it took for the change was one of those few. The moment she'd felt Rosalie's teeth pierce her skin, she'd clamped her mouth shut and vowed that she would only open it after the pain of the change had ended. Also she wasn't really willing to open her mouth, she was sure the initial movement would cause her a lot of pain and she was good on that front.
She was also vaguely aware of people coming and going. Touching and kissing her, but really she was more curious about the 5 downstairs that didn't even attempt to come upstairs. She didn't know how long she'd been like this but she knew they were down there. In fact, they'd been down there since they'd arrived. She knew that, just not the why….she couldn't focus enough to ascertain it.
The fire began to recede from her toes first and she panicked afraid that she was slowly losing mobility of her legs. That was until she quickly realized that only the feeling of the fire had receded and she could very much feel her toes. Even if she couldn't fathom actually trying to move them at all right now. She took it as a good sign though, that the end was near, and there would be an end to this mind numbing fire that resided within her.
Rosalie raked her fingers through Bella's now darker locks. Not much had changed physically about her mate aesthetically. She'd already been more attractive than any vampire they'd ever come across when she was human. Other than the slight paling of her skin, darkening of her already red lips, Bella's changes were hardly noticeable. One couldn't perfect perfection, so the venom really didn't have much work to do as far as she was concerned.
She appreciated that the freckles remained, only lightning to keep their subtibility against the paler backdrop that was her skin. Her Bella was still mind numbingly beautiful but the familiarity of it made the blonde feel better for some reason. Like she wasn't loving someone completely different.
Due to the exceptional shape Bella ahd kept herself in, other than changes in skin texture and the removal of a few faint scars by human standards, Bella's physical body appearance hadn't changed either. She still had that same perfect athletic build and curves, like she said, other than minor changes and the healing of Bella's spine and shoulder there wasn't much to change which is why she was beginning to worry.
The knock on her door pulled her from her thoughts,
"Come in" she replied knowing full well it would be Carlisle
"Edward and Jasper are beginning to worry….we all are, but Jasper can pick up your panic and worry" what he was really saying was she never let anything slip when she was blocking the two.
It wasn't like it could possibly be from her lack of feeding as Emmett and Jasper had gone hunting for her twice already and brought back thermoses full of blood.
"We've heard stories about vampires going crazy in the 3 days it takes to go through the change. It's already been twice that for Bella"
"Bella has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Why should this be any different? Have faith in your mate Rosalie" Carlisle soothed
"It's not like she was very sane to begin with before" Edward replied. The door was ajar so she heard him perfectly
"Excuse me?" the blonde demanded
"This is the same girl who vaulted a table and nearly gutted her shifter childhood friend because he called you a leech" Edward replied
"Then she went all 'Hey batter batter swing!' on that other one" Victoria added
"What?" Kate hissed
"Neither on those two were her friends" Rosalie hissed
"Yes, maybe so, but she did grow up together with one of them" Edward huffed with a roll of his eyes
"Bella doesn't take kindly to people insulting me" Rosalie replied with a roll of her eyes. The brunette as if knowing she was the subject jerked before settling again.
"Check her heart. She's rather warm, but I think it's nearly time" Carlisle noted as he removed his hand from her leg.
The blonde inclined her head before lowering it to Bella's chest,
"It's already beginning to sputter, I don't understand" the blonde mumbled as she quickly moved out of the bed.
Mate or not; it was not wise to be that close to a newborn when they woke up. The others were soon barreling into her room and lining up against the back wall.
"What do you mean?" Carlisle questioned
"I had my arm behind her back. I could always feel her heartbeat like that when she would sleep. There is something else thrumming in the same spot that feels just like her heartbeat used to" Rosalie quickly explained
"Perhaps the same thing that keeps her so warm. Somewhere between a human and one that is fevered" Carlisle explained
"That's my Jelly" Emmett smiled proudly.
Bella bowed off the bed and the vampires present could almost see the last time her heart sputtered a beat before she was crashing back down onto the bed motionless. They watched as Bella did the typical body check, working from her toes on up, before finally taking in a deep breath.
What no one was prepared for was the brunette practically disappearing and reappearing in front of Rosalie in something less than the blink of an eye. So fast that not even with their advanced senses could they register the movements properly.
Bella buried her nose into the source of the roses, mint, cream, and cinnamon scent. She knew it was Rosalie even is she had not yet opened her eyes yet. She was simply taking her time reacquainting her senses one by one as to not overwhelm herself. She knew that to be the best way to adjust to her new body and all it's new features.
Rosalie watched as a still shut eyed Bella pulled her nose back and simply opened her mouth to breathe it all in. A contented purr rumbling it's way up and out of Bella's mouth. Eyelids fluttered open and burnt topaz met pale silver with streaks of pale blue.
"Rosalie" the brunette breathed her voice still that sensual rasp the blonde loved
The newborn took in the perfection that was her mate. Her human eyesight not nearly good enough to capture the complete essential physical beauty of a one Rosalie Hale. Her hands flexed with the need to touch the vampire in front of her but she controlled herself to figure out appropriate speed and strength.
The first time was too fast and she shook her hand in silent reprimand before adjusting to a more appropriate speed. The first touch was too soft but she continued to add pressure until she knew she wouldn't shatter Rosalie's skin. She'd just woken to this life and didn't want to have to go kick her own ass for harming her mate.
Speed and strength somewhat mastered, Bella's hands skated everywhere in wonder. Rosalie's skin felt like the finest silk cool but not cold. She could tell there was a difference in temperature between her and the blonde but it did not actually affect her.
Rosalie felt more overwhelmed than Bella seemed and she was the newborn. It honestly felt like she was being caressed by the finest silk that had been warmed to pure perfection. She was starting to feel like putty in Bella's hands. Ensnared in the newborns hypnotic gaze, she was so very happy she'd kept her exotic eyes because it was so Bella in every way possible.
Jasper, sensing where this would eventually lead to, decided to step in. It was best to feed the newborn now than to put it off. She was clearly faster than any of them could dream of being and more than likely just as equally strong and he was sure her senses more than likely matched as was usually the norm. He was sure no one wanted her picking up a scent that they themselves had yet to pick up and race off leaving them clueless and her on her own.
Clearing his throat the soldier caught both the vampire's attention. Bella's head tilting before pouting as if she knew what he was going to say, but according to Eleazar she probably already did. She'd already displayed that by actually slowing down her movements and adjusting her strength to physically interact with Rosalie without being prompted to,
"Maybe we should get you fed. I'm sure you're thirsty" he smiled. She gave him a noncommittal shrug as if she was but it wasn't a pressing matter.
"Do you not feel the burn in your throat Bella?" Carlisle questioned
"No, but I guess I'm thirsty" the brunette noted. It kind of reminded her of the need to drink water without the dry mouth affect.
Rosalie was the first to move easily pulling the brunette's attention who turned to follow her without prompt,
"Well I guess Rose is Bella's trump card when she gets sidetracked" Edward chuckled as they watched the blonde leap her balcony landing with a barely audible thud followed by the brunette who landed without a sound
"Please when hasn't she been?" Alice giggled. The pixie following Bella over the balcony along with the others before being smacked with a vision of a very territorial Bella. The first hunt was important to a vampire especially a mated pair. Family and kind-of sires or not it was best not to be around for the show.
"We'll come with you halfway. Just to make sure you've gone far enough and then we'll meet you back at the house" Edward announced after having picked up on Alice's vision.
Meaning the brunette had more than likely already worked out how to let the pixie see her future or already knew it would happen and decided to let Alice see the vision as forewarning before she gave herself over to instincts...he had a sneaking suspicion it was the latter. He didn't think Bella would be too concerned with learning how to let Alice see her through visions when she was clearly invested in following Rosalie through the woods.
"Try not to run ahead until we give you the okay" Carlisle informed to which Bella simply nodded her agreement.
Then Rosalie was taking off to set the pace with Bella step for step behind her, eyes zeroed in on the blonde's ass in a pair of form fitting jeans.
"Somethings just never change" Anna chuckled as they followed behind.
They made sure to spread out to make sure nothing caught Bella's attention and steered her away from following Rosalie although they all doubted anything had the chance to.
Rosalie could hear her family bid her a farewell and picked up speed until she was deep in the Alaskan wilderness where no human would dare come. At least no human who wasn't either heavily delusioned or planning to live past sundown. That included those explorers and extreme survivalist humans. She didn't care what anyone said, they had to be a certain level of sanity to willingly put themselves in terrible situations.
Gathering her thoughts, she took a moment to control herself knowing she needed to at least get Bella fed before she could release the cacophony of emotions within her at seeing Bella finally up and about.
She couldn't stop herself from touching though,
"Close your eyes" the blonde coached, her thumb reaching up to caress Bella's gorgeous cheekbone, "What do you hear?"
The brunette's head tilted as her hearing ranged out. The question was what didn't she hear because there was so much. For a few moments she was completely overwhelmed but she stuck with it letting instincts guide her,
"I hear a lot. There's a river that way" Bella noted pointing further northeast. The blonde strained her ears but could pick up no such thing. She was sure not even Esme could as her range was only a few feet further and if it was the river Rosalie thought Bella was talking about...then Bella's had at least a full mile range advantage on Esme.
"Any heartbeats?" the blonde prompted the brunette to give her something to focus on.
The one's in the immediate vicinity were frightened but the further away they were the calmer the heartbeats seemed to be.
"Yes"
"Deep breath, what do you smell?"
"You" the brunette hummed contentedly and the blonde smiled indulgently
"Other than me"
"It's musky, a little bitter,...it's a herd of moose" that the blonde could detect more than likely heading for the river. She didn't bother to ask the brunette how she knew it was a herd of moose. At this point, she knew it was just Bella's powers at work.
"Go get them" she encouraged and then her newborn was gone actually kicking up a bit of wind as she took off.
She didn't bother trying to track Bella through scent, she already smelled like the woods they were in. She simply just followed the pull that led her to Bella without fail.
By the time she found the brunette, she'd already finished one moose and had moved over to the second one. Wisely she circled around and approached Bella from the front as to not make the newborn feel as if she was being sneaked up on. Of course Bella didn't startle but simply beckoned the blonde closer, before offering one side of the moose's neck to her. She new mates sometimes shared meals but it was unheard of for a newborn to do such things, but then again Bella hadn't been the typical newborn since she'd awoken.
The older vampire approached slowly giving the newborn plenty of time to change her mind all the while her eyes stayed locked on the hypnotic swirling of pale blue and pale silver of Bella's eyes.
It was single handedly the most intense moment of her entire existence as their teeths sank into the neck of the moose simultaneously. The blood tasted the same yet different as if it was somehow charged. Her chest rumbled with continuous purrs to match Bella's own as they drank hungrily from the moose until there was no more.
They pulled away their moose blood stained mouths hung open as heady moans erupted from both of their throat. It had to be one of the most vampiric sights the bonde had ever been a part of. In that moment her panties dampened and then Bella was on her, their lips clashing in a hungry and all consuming kiss.
She felt herself being lifted and quickly wound her legs around Bella's waist, one of the brunette's hands securing itself to her ass while the other wrapped around the back of her neck to hold her head in place.
Her back met a thick tree trunk. A groan of protest from the old tree as Bella clearly had enough presence of mind to not put her straight through the tree. The kiss had each of its moments; hungry, sweet, and loving. A pouring out of their emotions for the past 8 days that they hadn't had the chance to verbalize and then it was none of those things as it turned downright animalistic and possessive.
Saucy Alert!
There was no battle for dominance as it simply was not needed between the two. Simply circumstantial if ever at all. Even still, Bella did all the possessing. Her tongue plundering Rosalie's willing mouth mercilessly and then there was ripping fabric as clothes quickly fell to their hands, impatience, and shear strength.
Bella was the one to finally break the kiss. Her eyes chaotically and hypnotically swirling as she reached between them and coated her fingers in the blonde's wetness. The moan that left the brunette's mouth as she licked her fingers clean had the blonde shuddering to a near orgasm already,
"Rosalie" the brunette husked looking between her engorged member and Rosalie's core. She knew what the brunette wanted...permission to skip the foreplay and just fuck her brains out up against this tree.
"Fuck me Isabella" the blonde moaned. Which quickly turned into a cry of sweet release as her orgasm rocked her as Bella filled her to the hilt for the first time in 10 fucking days. It had been far too long for either of them.
She had no time to catch her proverbial breath as Bella's hips set a hard and punishing pace as her mouth quickly found one of the blonde's nipples.
She felt one of Bella's soaked fingers press against her virgin asshole and felt a thrill shoot through her that ripped an orgasm mercilessly from her body. Her teeth found their way into Bella's collar and it seemed to do the trick as the brunette's own orgasm was ripped from her as she found her teeth buried in the blonde's left collar.
End of Saucy!
The blonde had one last coherent thought before her brain checked out on her; they were going to be out there for a while.
Bella growled hungrily and the tree groaned in weak protest.
Yeah, they'd be out there for some time.
For a very long time.
