Chapter 2: Human?

EPOV

Human? I am human? No, that's not possible. I told Carlisle this.

"I know it's not possible, Edward," said Carlisle. "But, you are human."

"No," I said again. "That's just… just…" I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it. I, Edward Cullen, have been a vampire, a predator, for almost a century. It's all I've ever known.

Suddenly, I heard the door slam open and Alice stood in the doorway.

"Edward!" she yelled excitedly.

Then, she was standing right in front of me. How did she get there so fast—oh yeah, vampire speed. But I should have been able see something like that. Let alone hear Alice come up to Carlisle and Esme's room. But I didn't.

"Oh my god, you're okay!" Alice yelled and gathered me in a big hug. She must've squeezed a little too much because I felt a huge pain swell in my chest.

Carlisle pulled Alice off me and said, "Alice, we have to be gentle with him from now on."

"Oh, right," she said sheepishly. "Sorry, I just… in my vision it looked like you were dying and I was just so worried. It was…"

Alice stopped talking and stared blankly at the wall behind me. This meant that she was having another vision. She gasped suddenly and looked back at me again.

"You're… you're…" Alice said in awe. "You're human."

I looked at Carlisle helplessly and he nodded his head. There's nothing else I could say or do. After all, Carlisle is the doctor and if he gave me a check up and discovered I was human… then I guess I am. But it's so hard to believe.

I looked back at Alice. "Yes, Alice," I said quietly. "I am…" I couldn't even say it.

"Oh my…" she paused for a second, a horrific look appearing on her face. "That means…" she leaned forward and sniffed me. I felt a little uncomfortable with Alice sitting there sniffing me like some kind of… dinner plate. I gulped nervously.

Suddenly, Alice was in the center of the room at least five feet away from where she previously was. She looked at Carlisle, "Carlisle, I can smell his blood,"

"Yes, I can too," replied Carlisle.

Alice looked behind her, "We can't let Jasper…"

"I know," Carlisle interrupted.

I gasped suddenly, aware of what they were talking about. Since I was human, though I still really didn't believe it, clean venom-less blood coursed through my veins. I was no longer the predator, but the prey. I was in a house full of predators and I was the prey. Jasper wouldn't be able to control himself around me. My new life was in danger just being in the presence of my own family. I didn't like this. I didn't like this one bit.

"This is amazing," Alice's voice interrupted my dark thoughts. "This is… wow, Edward."

Yeah, wow seemed to be the right word.

"If you don't mind me asking," Alice took a small step towards me. "How did it happen?"

"I don't know," I said. "One minute I'm hunting and the next…" I stopped. I remembered everything. The deer, the tall woman, the bright light, everything. Could it be possible? Did that woman do this to me?

I told Carlisle and Alice about the whole incident.

"Of course!" exclaimed Alice. "That's what I saw in my vision. I didn't see the deer or woman, but I saw that bright purple light and you lying on the ground screaming."

"Carlisle," I looked at him, he was pacing next to my bed. "Do you think that… woman… did this to me?" I asked.

Carlisle stopped pacing. "It is possible. But that's not what I'm concerned about at the moment."

I looked at him incredulously. "How can you say that?"

"No, he's right, Edward," Alice nodded. "We can think about that later. Right now, we need to focus on you."

"Me?"

"Yes," Carlisle said. "Stand up, Edward."

I lifted myself up, my god my body felt heavy. I planted my feet on the ground and stood up. I swayed for a moment, the room was slowly spinning. I felt Carlisle's hand on my back.

"Easy there," he said.

I felt like a toddler learning how to walk for the first time. Carlisle gave me a little push and my right leg stepped out in front of me and caught me from falling. I took another step. Then another. It wasn't that hard. I just had to put in some more effort because every step I took felt like 100 pounds. I turned around and saw Carlisle watching me carefully, but I didn't see Alice.

"Where's Alice?" I asked.

"She went to go tell the others," he said.

"Oh," I ask that next part quietly. "So what happens now?"

"Well," Carlisle walked to me. "You're human now. Although we don't know if this is permanent or not, I suggest you stay in the house for the rest of the day."

I nodded, still walking around the room testing out my new body. "What about Jasper?"

Carlisle paused. I attempted to hear his thoughts, but I got nothing. How frustrating this is going to be.

"He's going to hunt for a couple of days out in the woods,"

"All by himself?" I asked, feeling a little guilty because Emmett and Rosalie were in Africa.

"No, Esme is with him," said Carlisle. I relaxed.

Alice appeared right next to Carlisle. My god, that was really fast. I was unaware of how fast we really were compared to humans. I saw that Alice had a phone in her hand with her palm closed over the speaker. She started speaking to Carlisle, in a low voice, her lips moving faster than I've ever seen. Carlisle started speaking back in the same manner. I couldn't understand a word they were saying, let alone what they were saying.

"Damn it!" I yelled. "Just because I'm… human… now doesn't mean I'm handicap. Tell me what's going on."

Alice hesitated. "Um… well, Bella's on the phone and she wants to know where you are."

Bella. Oh my god, how could I forget about her! Something clicked in my head, I was now human. Bella is human. That meant…

"I want to see her," I said.

Alice and Carlisle looked at each other.

"I don't think that's such a good—"

"Well, too bad," I interrupted. "Carlisle, I need to see her."

Carlisle looked at Alice. She put her head down, her eyes focused on the ground. I knew she was having a vision. Of what, I didn't know. I wished I could see what she was seeing. Alice's head lifted up and there was a huge smile on her face.

She nodded. "It'll be alright."

I smiled and turned happily towards the door. I felt someone grab my shoulder.

It was Alice.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asked amused.

"To pick up Bella," I said.

"No, no, no," Alice shook her head. "You are not going to drive in your condition. Your reflexes are slower than they were before. You'll end up getting in a wreck. Here, I'll go pick up Bella and bring her here, okay?"

I hated to admit it, but she was right. I nodded and Alice flew down the stairs.

"Edward," I heard Carlisle. "I have to get to the hospital, but if you need me here…"

"I'll be fine, Carlisle," I said. "I think there's more people who need your care more."

"Well, if you're sure," he said. I nodded.

I left the room and walked into my own. I sat on my black leather couch. I am human. Bella is going to be here. What am I going to say to her?
