Twilight Saga Eclipse Fanfiction

Transitionals: Eclipse

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the other books in the Saga, they belong to Stephenie Meyer. I do sometimes use phrases from the actual stories, they all belong to Stephenie Meyer.

I know I cut off the planning in the last chapter but there was a reason for it. This chapter is going to fill in all the blanks that we missed when Rose and Bella were talking.

This chapter is dedicated to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer, thank you for writing your wonderful story.

Chapter 21

It took longer for Rose to finally come to terms with the fact that Cissy and Anna needed to be on the mountain with me.

The fact that I would be able to use my shields again and that they would be stronger, helped, but she was still upset.

As soon as Emmett had gotten back to the house he took her out hunting to help her deal with it.

I could tell that he wasn't happy with it either. No one was.

If I knew that Anna and Cissy would be safe somewhere else, I'd send them there in a heartbeat. The fact of the matter though, was that I couldn't be sure that they would be safe.

We still didn't know why the Undermining wanted them, so the thought of them being anywhere that I wasn't terrified me. If I couldn't see them, I'd worry until I could.

That was one of the reasons why I was struggling to relax.

Edward and I had the Cullen house all to ourselves.

After Rose and Emmett had gotten back, they had taken the girls to our house. They were going to stay there with the two of them since I wanted the girls back where Charlie's house protection would keep them safe.

The other Cullens and the Denalis had gone hunting, preparing for the coming fight. None of them would get back before morning, so we had the whole house to ourselves.

No overly sensitive ears to overhear us. Charlie wouldn't be checking in on me, not like he does anyway. No little ones I needed to keep an ear out for.

Just the two of us.

Edward had already explained the rest of the plan for me.

Edward, Tanya, and her sisters, and Laurent were going to stay with me and the little girls.

As originally planned, Jacob and Leah are going to carry the three of us to the campsite after we've laid the false trail for the newborns to follow.

Alice still sees the newborns coming without the group of hunters. The Hunters will follow after the newborns.

The newborns will split once they catch the scents of the group in the field, trying to go after them from two sides.

The Wolves will be waiting for the group that goes around the trees, while the remaining vampires will enter the clearing.

The rest of the Cullens and the Denalis will be in the field, while the people of the other world will be waiting in the trees for the Hunters to arrive. If need be they will help defeat the vampires.

Once the Hunters enter the fight, Charlie and the others will join Carlisle and the others.

Turner was calling some of his coworkers to help, just be sure that the aftermath is cleaned up nice and to standard.

Everyone was looking hopeful of the outcome. Phil and his friends were going to protect the other transitional who is going to try to lure some of the Hunters away.

I was hopeful, but that didn't change the fact I was worried.

I wanted to yell at the wolves, most of them were still children, and a few of them had imprints, soul mates who would be heartbroken if something happened to them.

Gi and Phil were both away from their son, Cody needed them.

There were so many people who were risking their lives to help us.

"Bella if you don't stop worrying about it, I'm going to call Jasper."

I sighed and turned over on my side to face Edward.

We were relaxing on his bed. I wasn't ready to go to sleep yet, but couldn't bring myself to get up and do anything. Edward was fine lying beside me, but clearly not if I didn't stop worrying.

He got up and gestured for me to come sit on the end of the bed, before disappearing into his closet. "For this one night, could we try to forget everything besides just you and me?"

That wasn't a hard request to agree to, though I knew that forgetting my fears would be much easier said than done.

When Edward came back out of the closet he took a seat beside me on the bed. One hand was closed around something, the other reached for my hand and wrist, the one wearing my charm bracelet.

"I have something that I'd like to give you. That I'd hope you'd wear." He opened his hand.

Sitting in his palm was a beautiful crystal heart. It was cut in a million facets, so that even in the subdued light shining from the lamp, it sparkled.

"It was my mother's," he confirmed my thoughts.

He put it on the charm beside the one for my mom.

I blinked back the tears, smiling up at him. "Thank you, I love it."

"I thought it was a good representation." He laughed genuinely. "It's hard and cold, and it throws rainbows in the sunlight."

I rolled my eyes before offering a kiss.

His lips met mine chastely.

"You forget the most important similarity," I murmured. "It's beautiful."

"My heart is just as silent," he mused. "And it, too, is yours."

My heart fluttered at his words, as if it was accepting them for the first time, instead of the umpteenth. "Thank you. For both."

I ducked under his arm, leaning into him and he wrapped his arms around me.

We were once again resting against the pillows at the top of the bed. Just the two of us snuggling together.

Edward kissed the top of my hair, his hands brushing at my face. I held him tighter in my own embrace.

This was so different then what I was used to. Usually, there was always someone else in the house. I couldn't recall any time when it had really been just the two of us. Even when I had to go on business trips, Alice and Jasper were usually staying in the same hotel. Their incredible hearing during those times made it where I couldn't see it as just being Edward and me.

Now though, being alone with him here, it felt very different.

It was silly, but I felt the slight chill of nerves crawling up my spine.

Edward immediately sensed the change in me. "What's wrong, Bella?"

I chuckled softly, the nerves building even more. "I'm sorry," I replied quickly.

I shouldn't be this nervous around him, especially right now. After we were married I'd have reason to be, but not right now.

"You're blushing."

My hands went to my cheeks. I hadn't noticed the burn, which only caused me to blush even more.

"Please, Bella, the suspense is painful," he pleaded with me.

I shook my head trying to clear my mind and waved my hand to the empty room. "We're alone, it just made me think about after…"

Edward lifted an eyebrow, silently asking me to continue.

I buried my face against his chest and laughed nervously. "It's different. I couldn't help but think about how it's going to be after the wedding. During our honeymoon."

I lifted my head just enough so I could peek at his expression, wondering if he too would become nervous. He was just as experienced in this as I was.

His eyes darkened slightly with concern and his lip hardened into a stiff line.

I reached up, my hand resting on his cheek, the other brushing at his furrowed thoughtful brow.

His arms tightened around me slightly and he met my gaze. "If you're still wanting to get married while you're human, as long as your transition lasts, I don't think that's possible."

His words surprised me. We were talking about the same thing, just dancing around the actual subject.

"I don't understand."

He sighed. Leaning his head back he closed his eyes instead of staring up at the ceiling. "Bella, you know I want you that way, but I could hurt you."

I snorted which I hurriedly tried to hide behind a cough.

Edward's head snapped forward and he glared at me. "It's not possible right now. Later, when you're less breakable. Be patient, Bella."

I tried really hard not to laugh at him. His glare deepened though and I really had to bite my lip.

He reached out and free my lip from my teeth.

I stroked his cheek. "You silly, silly vampire."

He took my hand in his and I rested my head on his chest. "You still don't seem to understand my transition, Edward. You don't have to be as careful around me anymore. I'm not as strong as you, but I'm strong enough that you don't have to worry about breaking me."

"That doesn't change the fact that I do," he admitted.

I shook my head. "I'm a lot stronger than I look, Edward; I promise."

He didn't say anything at first but he eventually sighed. "The thought that I could hurt you, that's too big of a risk for me."

I didn't roll my eyes. I could tell that this was really worrying him. And yet he wasn't worried about the coming fight anymore. "You don't have to make me any guarantees. If it doesn't work out right, well, then that's that. Just let us try… only try."

I glanced up at him. He was torn, and it was written clearly on his face.

"It's not like you won't have an information box with you wherever we're going. I really believe you can't hurt me."

Maybe that wasn't what I should have said.

He reached over and pulled off one of the iron flowers on the bed frame.

I smirked at him and pulled off a second one, startling him. I hid my shock as best as I could. "I can do that too. Believe me now."

I watched as Edward's resolve formed. He smirked at me and crushed the flower in his hand opening it up to reveal nothing but the sand equivalent of what it used to be. "Can you do that?"

I pushed myself up and kissed his nose. "No, but he can't do that to me so you shouldn't worry."

He pinched the bridge of his nose but I moved so I was right in front of his line of vision. "Remember the night after my first training session for my strength. When we finally got to talk about how you were able to be near me, while I was bleeding."

I climbed into bed, but there was something I need to talk about with him before I could fall asleep.

"How did you manage it," I whispered in awe.

Edward brushed at my hair curiously. "What do you mean, Bella?"

"Today, you stayed by my side even though my hand was bleeding. It should have been too hard for you to be in the same room, and yet you didn't seem to struggle with it."

His eyes flashed slightly with understanding. He reached for my good hand, leaving a gentle kiss on my skin.

"I got over the desire for your blood."

I was shocked. "I didn't really think the desensitizing would really work."

He smiled down at me. "It wasn't like that, Bella." His eyes burned with pain. "I lived through an entire twenty-four hours thinking that I was going to lose you forever. That I wouldn't be able to save you. That changed the way I look at a lot of things."

His hand cupped my cheeks lovingly, his eyes bored into mine. "My entire being shies away from any course that could inspire the type of pain that I was suffering through before finding you alive in Volterra. I was so certain that you'd be gone before I could get to you."

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my forehead against his, just like I had that night.

"Alright, Bella, we can try." He sighed breathlessly.

I met his gaze and smiled warmly. How could I love him even more than I already did?

Author's Note

This chapter was such a struggle for me to write, and as you might have noticed, I used quite a few phrases from Eclipse. This type of writing, I really struggle with.

I have a few questions for you this time.

1. Do you think Carlos and his mate are going to make an appearance during the battle?

2. Any guesses to how I might be changing up the battle besides what is already mentioned. (There is going to be a big difference, but at the same time, the aspect is staying the same. If that makes sense.)

3. What do you think about Victoria and her plans? Did I stay true with her character? How does she know the Hunters?

SNEAK PEEK #3 (Christmas Problems 400 words)

Zafrina was working with me again, trying to project my shield, but as always I couldn't push it very far from me.

I was dreading every new attempt to work with the shield. It was even harder to manipulate than it was when I was human. If only I could I could get a feel for it.

I thought back to what we had learned before. I focused on trying to protect. I let it build in me.

I vise wrapped around my heart squeezing it tightly. I dropped to my knees, startling Zafrina and the other vampires who had gathered to witness my training session.

"Bella! What's wrong?" Kate reached out to me but I waved her away.

"Bella!"

I glanced up and saw Edward hurrying out of the house with Carlisle. The paused briefly taking in my pained face before they both appeared at my side.

Edward knelt in front of me, one hand cupped my cheek the other he placed over the one I had over my heart. "What happened?"

I took a deep breath so I could answer him. I tried to clear my mind, to come up with an answer but there wasn't one.

I didn't know what had caused the pain. If Anna had been touching me I would have assumed she was showing me that something terrifying was coming. The sensation for Terror was a feeling of tightness around the heart. Anna wasn't with us though.

Fear goaded me though.

"Where's Anna?"

We all glanced around the yard, knowing very well that Emmett had said he was going to play outside with her.

Neither were in sight.

"Emmett!?"

"I'm playing hide and go seek with Anna," we heard coming from the other side of the house, most likely in the trees at the start of the driveway.

"Where did you leave Anna?" I hissed at him.

Emmett walked around the side of the house. "She's not even twenty steps behind you." He pointed to the groups of trees behind us.

I rounded the tree instantly, coming to a halt when I saw her.

Anna was laying on her side. Her energy had almost completely been drained. She blinked up at me.

Carlisle carefully picked her up. He carried her inside, ignoring all the questions from our guest. Each one stared from him to her, then to me. All silently wondering what had happened.

Until Tomorrow,
