A/N: Here is the next one! Tell me what you think! :)
Bella
It's been a couple more weeks and two funerals have been held, one for Charlie Swan and the other for Renee Swan. They were both gone and all I had left was Elizabeth and Edward who both had gotten worse for wear. Elizabeth kept trying to tell me to take care and be healthy. Grow up to be something amazing. I would stop her and tell her, 'Just you wait. You'll see me do something good, even Edward.' Then I would have to go. I missed the smile Elizabeth sent me. And that was the last thing I had said to Elizabeth Mason for when I came back the next day she was gone. And now it was just Edward. We were now both orphans but we still had each other for now.
Edward was doing worse a few days after Elizabeth died. When I was there he would try to act all cheerful and happy but I could see the forcedness of it. I would smile sadly that he would fake just for me. I would stand and kiss his forehead.
"I love you." I whispered into his ear, and pulled away. I tried walking away but my wrist was grabbed but the hold wasn't too hard. I turned and faced him and saw him with a slight real smile slight grimace on his face.
"I love you too Isabella. Please hear me out. If I die, I want you to move on. I want you to live your life as you would have with me. Please for me love. Keep the ring, to prove that even when I die I still love you. And maybe just one day I will see you again and that ring will show to me who exactly you are if your beautiful face doesn't first." He said looking right into my eyes that had tears going down them. All I could do was nod due to the lump in my throat. He let go of my wrist and I looked at him one more time then walked out the door.
I went right home and took a bath. I got into a night gown and went to bed. I had many nightmares about Edward being gone. Walking in and seeing him not there anymore. I woke up with a start and got ready for the day. Putting on a dress and pulling my hair into a tight bun. It was something quick and easy to do. I walked out and headed to the hospital not noticing the stares or pointing people were doing. The pitying looks from the older people and whispers from the younger. I walked straight in and right to his room only to see nothing. I just stood there, staring, in denial. I couldn't believe it. My recent nightmare had turned into realty. I started shaking then I heard sobs coming from somewhere. I didn't realize it was me. I fell down onto my knees and put my head into my hands. I couldn't believe it, first Edward Sr., then my parents, then Elizabeth and now Edward. One of the elderly came and picked me up and sat me on one of the beds and sat with me while I cried.
When I stopped I looked up at him and asked him one thing, "When?"
"Last night." He said and I nodded.
"I need to go home." I said and stood up. He stood up with me to stabilize me just in case I started swaying.
"Do you need someone to walk you home?" He asked me with concern on his face. I just shook my head. Not able to reply. "OK. I am so sorry for your losses Ms. Swan. I hear you were about to get married?" He asked and I just nodded.
"Excuse me, I am sorry but I do need to head home now." I said and walked out of the hospital.
I knew I had tears on my face but didn't bother to wipe them off. I knew I wouldn't be able to do what Edward asked. I knew I would only love him and not move on. How could I? He was the one I loved with all my heart and won't stop until I die. I will try to be happy, but that is the only thing I can really do. I took a deep breath when I walked into my house. I knew it was early but I was so emotionally tired that I went up to my bed without even changing clothes and fell into a fit full sleep.
It's been a whole year since Edward, Elizabeth, my parents, and Edward Sr. had died. I was also now seventeen. I wasn't what Edward had asked me to be. I didn't really talk to anyone anymore, but I hardly talked to them even before Edward died. I would force a smile all the time. And the only time I would truly smile was when I was thinking about them, my love and family. Oh how I missed them dearly. How I would do anything to see them again.
I sighed and decided to take a walk out in the woods. I walked and walked and didn't realize how dark it was getting because the trees were so thick where I was. I heard a noise and stopped. I looked around to see if I could see if there was anything but didn't see anything. I took a deep breath. 'I am probably just hearing things.' I thought and turned around to head home when I heard the noise again. And faintly you could hear someone walking or running closer. Then I felt something on my neck. Like something had bite me. Then I felt the pain, the scorching pain that felt like you were on fire. I held in my screams so no one would come out here and have to deal with the same fate as me.
It felt like forever but really it was three days. My heart stopped beating and when I opened my eyes everything was so much clearer and I was able to see so much, every little speck of dirt and every little line on a leaf that was far away. I heard a noise to my right and hopped up. I heard the things heart racing and ran over to it and jumped up into a tree. I breathed in and smelt its sweet scent from all the way from the tree. I focused on its neck and lunged. I sunk my teeth into its neck through the fat and fur and tasted the blood. I drained it dry then pulled it away. I saw it was a mountain lion.
I looked down to check my clothes before what I had just done really sat in my mind. I gasped and ran off to the nearest water hole that was nearby. When I ran I had a split thought that I was running faster than I ever had. I stopped near the waterhole and I looked down and my eyes went wide. The reflection in the water did too. I raised an eyebrow and the reflection did also. I realized it was me. She now had bright ruby eyes and was even paler than what I was. I backed away from it and really checked my clothes this time. I didn't have any tears or anything on it but it was really dirty and I could do with a bath for my hair.
I didn't know for sure what I was but I did have a feeling it wasn't good, and it was something I had believed to be a myth like a Vampire. That is the most likely explanation since I just drank an animal's blood and because of my new speed and strength.
I took a deep breath, even though it felt a little strange to me now and I could smell the earthy scent around me, and then ran off towards where I thought town was.
