--PREVIOUSLY!!--
"We need to get her back, she needs rest." Well vampires don't need rest so I knew I wasn't finished yet, I was just getting started.
As I was lifted from the wreckage, I began to think about different things, as I was placed onto the soft seat of what I assumes was the backseat of Edwards Volvo, I started to wonder.
Where the hell was Asher?

CHAPTER 7 - Feels Like Home
--
Where the hell am I? This doesn't feel like my bed? I opened my eyes slowly and the world swam before me. Carefully, I pulled myself up and swung my legs around to stand up. Was I dreaming? Nothing seemed real, nothing felt real. It was like I was on a cloud, light and free. But I was so dizzy, like I was about to fall off the cloud at any second. I tried to steady myself by reaching out to hold onto something, but there was nothing to hold onto. Everything was too far away. Instead I collapsed back onto the bed, or what I thought was a bed. As my vision started to clear, the room was flooded by light.
I looked over to where it was coming from and say a huge bay window that opened straight out into the surrounding forest. It looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. I shook my head and at once regretted it, feeling a shooting pain shoot through me. I closed my eyes at the pain and waited till it was gone. I could see everything clearly now, but it was still confusing me.
Why was I in Edwards room?
I looked around me again and confirmed for myself that it was his room. The many CD's and the lack of a bed were all the clues I needed to tell me that. I remembered the last time I was here, when Edward had flown me out of the window and through the trees. It was an amazing feeling, and standing here now brought it all back for me.
"Your awake. Finally, Ive been waiting ages." I turned as I heard the voice. Tinkling and soft. Alice. Her bright smile greeted me and I suppose the look on her face at least meant everything was ok.
"What's going on?" My voice was scratchy and my throat felt like sandpaper as I spoke. It startled me for a moment and I looked to Alice, hoping for an answer.
"You don't remember anything?"
What was there to remember? All I could remember was a bright light, and a lot of pain, and whispered voices all around me. As I thought about it more, images flashed through my mind, showing me exactly what had happened. My knees buckled and I felt Alice holding me up, but there was one thing that stuck out, and made me realise something was seriously wrong.
Her hands were warm.
"Wha…I mean you…and its…" I tried to form a coherent sentence as everything ran through my head over and over again.
"Carlisle is better at explaining than me, lets go find him." She kept hold of my arm as she led me out of the room and down the stairs. I could hear distant voices that echoed around me and made me feel slightly uncomfortable. I heard my name and centred my attention on the conversation.
"She's fine, really. She just has to adjust to this. Its gonna be hard at first but she's a strong girl, she can do it."
"I can do what?" I said as I walked into the room. Edward and Carlisle were sat on the sofa in the corner of the room and as we walked closer, I saw the shocked expression on Edwards face.
Carlisle stood and walked towards me, a smile flitting across his face. "Bella, how do you feel?"
"Umm…Im ok. My head hurts a bit, and my throat is really sore." He nodded and looked briefly over to Edward then back to me.
"I told her you'd be better at explaining." Alice said before smiling and walking out of the room, and I watched in amazement as she climbed out of a window and along a tree branch. I guess I would have to get used to her doing that.
I walked across the room and sat down next to Edward, noting that he was still silent and still staring at me like I was some sort of alien.
"Can you tell me what's going on? Im so confused."
"Bella do you remember anything before now? Before waking up I mean."
The images flashed through my mind again and I felt Edward wince beside me as I remembered the crash. "I was arguing with someone. But then its all fuzzy after that."
"You were losing a lot of blood." Edward spoke finally. "Nothing I did could stop it and I knew the ambulance wouldn't be there on time." He hesitated and looked at me.
"What do you…? I don't understand? What happened? Why was I losing blood?" I remembered a crash, but I hadn't felt anything. If I wasn't in pain then I couldn't have been hurt, right?
"Wrong."
"And what's up with that?!" It was more of a question to myself but Carlisle answered anyway.
"Ok Ill start from the beginning then. Edward can hear you because although you may not think so you've changed in the past few years, a lot. Your not as closed off as you used to be, meaning your mind isn't private anymore. That's why he couldn't read your mind before, because you were a secret person, you didn't like to let people in and show them who you really were. But Asher changed that." At the mention of his name I felt Edward tense next to me. Did he just growl?! "He wanted to know everything about you, so he created a new you just for him, and made it so he could know what you were thinking. That way he could be what you wanted him to be and he would know if anyone was getting in the way."
"What? That makes no sense."
"Its true though, you have changed haven't you? Become what he wanted you to be?"
Can he read my mind too? "I….I guess so. We both changed for each other, its called a relationship." Ok Bella, sarcasm isn't good right now!
"A relationship? Well if it was such a great relationship then enlighten me, where is he now? Where is he when you need him?"
Ok so the guy has a point! But that still doesn't change anything.
"He's probably looking for me…I should go…"
"He went back to Victoria." There was an awkward silence that seemed to slice through me.
"Victoria? Who the hell is Victoria?"
Carlisle stood and left the room without a word, leaving me and Edward alone to talk. It shouldn't have bothered me, but it did.
"You don't remember?"
"Im sick of having to remember things! Just tell me!"
He stood and walked across the room. I thought he was leaving but he stopped and turned, walking over to the window instead. "The ball game. Think back to the ball game."
"Yeah I remember it, you had to play in a thunderstorm. What do I need to think about? There was no Victoria there? It was us."
"James."
The name sent a shiver up my spine, and suddenly I remembered everything. The ball game was just the start, I had been safe until those three walked onto the field like they owned it. James. Laurent. Victoria.
Victoria?!
"No way!" I buried my head in my hand as it shook back and forth. "I refuse to believe he has anything to do with her! With them!!"
"He's one of them, Bella. He was planning on making you one of them too, part of their coven."
"I don't believe you." I heard my voice starting to break. Asher wouldn't do that, he wouldn't betray me like that.
"Why do you think we sent Pete to work there? So he could keep an eye on you, to keep you safe." He didn't do a very good job then did he! Edward turned to look at me, his face creased up in confusion. "Why?" Shit! "Bella tell me."
"Im tired, Im going to bed." I rose from my seat and walked quickly across the room, but Edward was quicker. He was in front of me within seconds, blocking my way.
"Bella, you don't sleep." What?
"Yeah I do."
He sighed and took my hand, leading me back to sit down. "When you crashed, you were losing a lot of blood." Oh no! The look in his eyes tells me I don't wanna hear what he's about to say. He closed his eyes and continued. "I had two choices: lose you or turn you. And I couldn't lose you Bella."
I tried to let what had said sink in, but it just seemed too weird. "So you turned me? Im a vampire now?" I couldn't help the smile that started to tug on the corners of my lips. I had thought about it before, but I never thought he would actually do it.
"That doesn't freak you out?"
Did it freak me out? I wasn't sure, maybe it hadn't sunk in properly yet. "No, it doesn't freak me out. In fact it's a good thing."
"How?"
I smiled fully now, and I could see that he was trying not to smile too. "Cos it means you don't wanna kill me anymore." I laughed, that was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard myself say.
To my surprise Edward laughed too. "Yeah that's true." He put his arm around me and I curled myself up next to him. My head was resting on his shoulder and I felt so comfortable, if I was able to I would have probably fallen asleep right there. There was nowhere in the world I would rather have been. As we sat there in silence, a thought ran through my head.
Feels like home.
I heard him chuckle slightly above me, before wrapping his arms around me tighter. "It is home."
