Chapter 2

Bella POV

The moment it happened I knew I would die. Laurent searched for me on Victoria's behalf and would kill me, this I was absolutely certain about. I felt his razor-sharp teeth at my left wrist as he started to drink my blood. The next thing I felt was pain. Pure pain flowing through my veins. I heard growling in the background and something hitting floor hard, as well as screeching sounds and Laurent's screams. I was is so much pain, screaming my lungs out in agony, though I was aware of my surroundings.

As soon as I felt someone approach me, I felt calmer and realized that someone cold picked me up and ran. It wasn't Laurent, through all the excruciating pain I knew I could trust this vampire. He laid me down and as soon as I touched the soft surface, I felt even more bites along both my wrists and my neck, felt the slicing of his teeth and the venom entering my system. Then I heard a voice I knew, a male voice so deep and soothing. I wasn't able to notice the words he spoke, bit I heard him.

It took me what felt like an eternity to point out who this vampire was, as the pain rippled through me. When I did, I felt happiness and hope rising up in me. It was Emmett. My big bear of a brother, Emmett Cullen, came back for me.

I didn't know how long I lay there, time had no significance anymore. All I wanted was for the pain to end, I couldn't take it anymore. I was in so much pain I was certain I would die from it. But I didn't. Through all my pain I heard Emmett's voice, he talked me through it though it didn't help much.

As time went on I felt a second presence, and this time it didn't take me so long to find out who came to my bedside. I felt Jasper's influence on my feelings, felt as he tried to calm me down. I wanted to takt his calm, but when I did, I wasn't able to hear Em anymore. I shut Jasper out, which was relatively easy considering my state.

I reigned in my screams, suffering silently as time went by too slow. I didn't know how long I lay there, all I knew was Emmett's voice and Jasper's presence. They both calmed me as the pain subsided slowly, and something else registered in my brain. I smelled everything: Emmett's earthy scent of wood, bonfires, wildflowers, grass and rain as well as Jasper's fresh scent of hay, leather and horses. Though I could smell anything, I couldn't make out any words. Another thing I noticed subconsciously was a certain feeling. I felt like I knew something, I knew something was about to happen. I didn't know what would happen, I only knew it wouldn't be me waking up. It didn't matter what was happening, though. I had to warn Em and Jazz, they needed to know everything would be fine.

As the pain died down and my heart did its last beat, there was only one thing I could do before opening this something would happen. It took me everything I had, but everything I could muster was a simple whisper of "I'll be ok" before I felt a twist inside me and everything went silent.


Emmett POV

I shot forward as Laurent saw the wolves and ran. He ran for his life and let Bella fall, it was everything I could do to run to her side, pick her up and run back to the my old house.

He bit her in the wrist, I could see that he concentrated on drinking her blood, not inserting enough venom into her system. She screamed her lungs out as the fire raged inside her. I ran as fast as I could, holding my breath to not let the smell of Bella's blood overwhelm me. I brought her up into my old room to lay her down onto the bed. I was afraid the venom was not enough, so I didn't hesitate to bite her again. I bit the old scar James had given her a few months ago, and I bit into the exact place Laurent bit Bella only minutes ago. I hoped she wouldn't be so angry when she noticed it was my venom that changed her and I covered her scar she hates so much. I hoped she wouldn't be angry with me for that, but I had to bite her on the side of her neck as well, hoping the venom would work more quickly near her heart.

Strangely enough, I had no problem controlling my thirst and my urge to suck her dry. Her blood tasted delicious, but I wanted to save her more than to drink from her. She screamed even more but lay completely unmoving on my bed. Once my bites where complete, I immediately called Alice. She picked up at the first ring, like she waited for me to call.

I had no time to speak, as she rushed to tell me "Emmett, let me speak. I didn't see anything until you held her and ran, so I didn't know what went on. Edward doesn't know and I hope he won't come back in the near future, I don't think it would be good for Bella if he would be there. Jasper is on his way to you, I think he can help as he has experience with newborns". She waited for me to understand everything she said before she continued, not letting me explain. "I know you didn't bite her at first, Em. I see parts of her change, she will be stunning and it will take only two days, so your venom helped immensely. The only thing concerning me is the end of her change, I only see her saying one thing: 'I'll be ok'. After that everything is gone, I can't see anymore. I don't know what will happen, but I know she will be alright and will awake".

After that, I didn't hear anything else as I crushed my phone. How could Alice tell me what she saw when she saw obviously nothing? I was so angry, at everyone coming my way. I was happy Eddie-boy wouldn't be near Bella any time soon, I didn't need him here right now. I didn't know why, but the thought of him near Bella again made me furious. And Laurent, why would he bite her when he could sense the wolves coming? Why couldn't they run faster to help her, why couldn't I run faster… If I hadn't been going out to hunt, or back to the house, I would have been by her side protecting her.

She continued to scream in agony. Raging wouldn't help her right now, so I tried to calm down by talking to her. I didn't even know if she could hear me, she would probably be furious at me for coming back like this, but I kept going. I talked for hours on end, until I heard a male vampire approaching. When it would be Edward I would rip him to pieces for making us all leave her, but luckily a few seconds later I heard Jaspers voice. "Em, its only me. Eddie-boy doesn't know, if he did he would probably run here and try to suck out the venom again". He stopped talking as I growled out "Suck the venom out again?! Is he trying to kill her?!"

I stopped speaking as I felt a wave of calm crash down on me so hard, I tumbled back and sat on the side of the bed near Bella. "Thanks, Jazz. Calm is better than rage, I think it helps if I talk to her". Jasper gave me a quick nod, concentrating on Bella as I started talking to her again. It took me by surprise as Jasper snapped his eyes open, looking at Bella in awe. "What is it, what happened?", I asked quickly, anxious something happened to Bells. Jasper looked at me, whispering "She shut me out. I tried to dose her with lethargy for her to feel like she was sleeping. A few seconds it worked, until she shut me out completely. I cannot feel anything from her, it's fascinating".

I looked down at her face, she already showed the change on her face. Could she hear us, control anything in this state? And then the screaming stopped. "It had only been 24 hours, her change couldn't be complete already?", I asked Jasper nervously. He stayed calm and answered "Yes, Alice told me. Her change will continue like this, though we don't know why. It's odd, but everything will be fine. Maybe, if she could shut me out on purpose, she can control her screams as well".

Jasper's words calmed me down, so I continued speaking to her again. I spoke without a break for the next hours, only stopping when I heard her heartbeat picking up speed. Jasper and I watched her anxiously, waiting for her to open her eyes.

When her heart stopped completely, nothing happened for a few seconds. Then we heard her whisper "I'll be ok". And then nothing happened. I felt my panic rising, terrified she was dead. Jasper tried to calm me down and explained "I can feel her again. She is ok, but not consciously here with us. Her emotions feel off, the best way to describe it is that she feels like Alice does when she has a vision". His statement helped me but couldn't calm me down completely. "Thanks, Jazz. I don't know what it could be, maybe a gift? I really hope she wakes soon…". When I trailed off, Jasper looked at me quizzically. I didn't know what was going on myself, I only knew I was absolutely terrified for Bella. So we both sat there and waited for Bella to open her eyes.
