Chapter 29

"Rose, darling, we need to get you out of here, please come with us." Emmett said, reaching his hand out for Rose to grab.

Looking up, Rose saw Emmett reaching for her. Fearing for his safety she pushed his hand and him away with all her force, causing Emmett to fall backwards stunted . "Get the hell away from me!"

Watching all of this unfold, Bella held Gracie close to her chest and walked backwards back into the Nursery, keeping a close eye on Emmett.

"Rose, please talk to me, we need to figure out what happened in order to help you. Please talk to me." Emmett cried, placing a hand on her back, hoping to give her comfort. He felt her body begin to vibrate and she let out a small growling that grew louder and louder. "You can growl all you want, but I am not going anywhere. Now tell me what is the problem."

Rose stared at him for a moment, before looking back at the whole in the wall, looking at Gracie. Bella saw here warm golden eyes have transformed into a pool of deep red. She was thirsty.

"I love you Rose, but you understand." Bella whispered, before turning around and quickly existing the Nursery. She was halfway down the hall when she heard the deep growl come from deep within Rose.

"Rose! You can stay right here!" Emmett demanded, holding onto her, before slamming her into the ground. He softened his grip when he saw Rose's face have the look of shock.

"Please leave." She said softly, unwilling to meet his gaze.

"No, I am not going anywhere." Emmett protested, trying to pull her up into his arms, but she fought him off.

"No! You don't understand! I hurt her, she is bleeding!" Rose shouted through tearless sobs, her body shaking but she gave up, allowing herself to be pulled into Emmett's chest where she felt safe.

'Please, just tell me what happened." Emmett pleaded.

She nodded into his chest and took an unnecessary deep breath. "I was in the nursery, holding onto Gracie. I was trying to understand what was happening to Alice. When we all realized he turned back time on her, and turned her back into a human teenager, that's when it happened.

"I looked up and he had lunged at me. All I could see was his pale face, his sharp fangs and his robe, which suddenly engulfed me. I couldn't see anything or move. I felt Gracie was still in my arms and somehow this monster had wrapped us in his robe and was bringing us somewhere. He dropped us off in this room." Rose gestured around her with one of her hands, while the other one stayed glued to Emmett's chest.

"There were no doors or windows, I wasn't sure how we got in or out, or how long we were in his robe. He told me he would let me go if I gave him Gracie. I couldn't do it Emmett. I didn't care what happened to me, but I couldn't just give up on her and everything mom has been doing to get her back.

"He told me I would regret not giving her to me. I called him on his bluff, telling him if he left us in there then he would only be hurting Gracie and that would ruin what the Volturi had planned. It got darker in the room and I couldn't even see my own hand that was in front of my face. I thought if this was the worst thing that was going to happen then it was doable. I knew once you guys figured out we were missing you would find us. Somehow his voice was everywhere, bouncing off the walls of the dark room and rikashay inside my head. He kept taunting me, telling me to take a bite, to hurt her, asking me if her blood smelled good. I know I have control but I held my breath just to be safe. I can't risk her safety anymore.

"I felt a lightning bolt of pain ring through my entire body, it felt like I was transforming all over again only backwards. I felt my bones begin to unfreeze and I felt my heartbeat shaking my chest. My blood was pumping through my body once more. It has been 80 years since my body has done this. I was human." Rose paused to take a breath.

Emmett could feel furry rising up inside him, but couldn't help but feel confused. "Rose, you said 'was', you are no longer human. You and I are the same temperature, you have no heartbeat. I promise you are a vampire."

"I know I am." Rose said ashamed. "I knew he was turning me human, but I couldn't understand why, till I felt the pain return. He was turning me back into a vampire. Emmett I am a newborn again."

Emmett understood everything now, he turned her back into a vampire so she wouldn't have her control anymore. One inhale would be all it took. "Oh Rose, honey you are okay, I can promise you that."

"No, I am not. I still hurt her I tried to hold my breath for so long. I was so thirsty and her heartbeat was like drums pounding in my ears. I had this intense urge to….to…" Rose fell back into tearless sobs, unable to say what she truly wanted.

"You wanted to breathe, you wanted to taste her blood, you wanted to kill her." Emmett finished for her.

Rose nodded in agreement. "Emmett, you know know what kind of monster I can be."

"You are not a monster, you are my beautiful, sexy, intelligent, clever, brave and courageous wife. You have an incredible story with many ups and downs, and that story only grows. Soon this will only be a part of your story." Emmett said, holding back his town tearless sob.

"But, what do we do now?"

"Well, we need to get back home and talk with Carlisle, maybe he can help you." Emmett offered, while standing up, helping Rose to her own feet when his face suddenly fell.

"What is it?"

"Esme! She is in labor, they took one of the car's to get back home."

"Oh gosh! Hopefully they make it in time." Rose said, excited to meet her sister. "Maybe before we go home, we could haunt, I don't feel safe around our new sister while she is human and I am like this."

"Anything for you Love."

Emmett grabbed Rose's hand as they ran as fast as they could through the castle and out the door. Emmett made a mental note, seeing that Bella took the car. It was for the best, besides a long run might be good for Rose right now.
