Ok, once again, I don't own Twilight or any of it's characters. So, since the last chapter was so short, I figured I'd try to get this one up sooner. But I'm gonna need some more reviews if I'm gonna know whether I'm doing this right. I need more comments and suggestions! So PLEASE R&R!! well, anyways, here's chapter 3.
Recap: Before I could register anything more in my mind, my lungs were aching, and I was knocked to the ground with a thud.
At some point, my Edward had caught up with Emmett, had caused him to realease his grasp on me, and had sent him through the glass wall. I heard it shatter and an earthshaking bang as the hit the ground.
Just as the loud crash of the shattered glass died down, I heard a loud, booming, laugh coming from outside. I layed on the floor a few more moments, trying to regain my breathe as I noticed Edward rise from the floor beside me. The entire time I was worrying as to whether Emmett was ok. After all, he had just been pushed through a glass wall. But of course, I was once again overreacting. Of course he was fine. He was, after all, a vampire; indestructable in almost every way.
Edward walked over to the wall, stuck his head out and frowned when he noticed how funny Emmett thought this whole ordeal was. "That was not in the slightest bit funny, Emmett" He stated sternly, before, he himself, jumped out the window to the ground to help Emmett out of the little crater he had created. "If you ever do anything to hurt her or put her in mortal danger like that again, I will make sure you suffer a long and painful death." Edward's words portrayed the appropriate message, but the irony was clear. Even I couldn't help but lightly giggle to myself.
"Yea, yea, yea. Been there, done that." Emmett smirked, lighting up the situation. Even Edward was lightly smiling as he realized the implications of his words.
I was standing myslef up from the ground, when I felt a cold, reassuring arm on my shoulder. I turned around to Esme's kind, motherly smile. "Are you alright, dear?" She asked showing care.
"Yea. Don't worry 'bout me. I'm fine, just kinda had the wind knocked out of me. For some reason or another I still have to breathe." I only slightly whispered the last part, but, sure enough, Esme had heard.
"Don't worry. It shouldn't be long." She reassured me. She was always, secretly, so as to not draw attention from Edward, very keen on my change, and I couldn't help but smile as she recomposed her face as Edward came back inside. She was clearly trying to hide any evidence of what we had just discussed, but, me, being the horribly slow-witted human, didn'tt realize; I had a huge smile plastered across my face, and Edward eyed me curiously, before looking to Esme, as if probing her mind would give some clue as to why I looked like that.
Esme must have been hiding her thoughts, because Edward's face twisted into a look of confusion. I knew that Esme was probably one of the worst people in the family at hiding her thoughts from Edward, and that she would eventually run out of things to think about. Unfortunatly, Edward was also aware of that, and, being the stubborn Edward he is, continued to stare at Esme, hoping for her to break down. The tension was almost tangible, as Esme's face started to look worried. Worried that she would let out our little secret as she ran out of thoughts, but, as quickly as that happened, her face turned smug. I eyed her curiously before hearing Edward.
"Woah...ok. Fine. You win. Edward out. You know, some things I'd rather not know...or see." He said as he shuddered before walking up to me, grabbing my hand, dragging me from the room, and pulling me into the living room. I went to sit on one of the loveseats, but Edward just pulled at my arm, motioning to the chair at the side of the room. He sat down, gracefully as ever, and motioned for me to join him. I gladly took a seat on his lap before craning my head around to stare into his beautiful eyes.
"So, would you mind explaining me why we're on the chair, when there are two perfectly good love seats and a couch in this room?" I questioned, curious as to why he'd chosen the chair.
"Well, the rest of the family will be joining us momentarily, and I wouldn't want to take their places." He stated simply as if it was the most obvious thing ever. I eyed over the room one more time before it dawned on me. The two loveseats were for Alice and Jasper and Carlisle and Esme, while the couch was for Rosalie and Emmett. All of the couples, in the last roughly 90 years shared a seat. Edward, being single, had his chair all to himself.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, don't tell me you had to sit in this lonely chair for the past 90 years and watch everyone else on the couches together." It almost seemed sad.
"Ok. I won't tell you." He replied, smug.
"Oh, Edward. I can't believe you had to be alone for that long." I simply refused to believe it.
"It's true. But let's think about now. Let's think about you and me and just being together. Now. And for the rest of eternity." He said as he began to kiss a trail up and down my jaw. "And I suppose we could get a loveseat now, but this is just as enjoyable." His lips were numbing and sent loving waves through my body. I twisted my head to kiss him full on and just as I did I heard a loud 'ahem' from behind me.
I turned around to see Emmett grinning like a mad man.
"I hate to interrupt, but we were going to have a family meeting, were we not? That is, unless you would like to postpone it?" Emmett could be so immature.
"No, Emmett, that will be quite unecessary." Edward replied before I could.
Suddenly, I realized that I had absolutely no idea what this whole family meeting was about. I looked up into Edward's eyes, hoping they would give something away.
He noticed my confusion and replied "Don't worry, my Bella, you'll see." And with that, he turned his attention to the rest of the family that was enterring the room.
They all took their places and everything fell silent. It seemed like forever before someone finally spoke up. The noise seemed so strange to my ears after that silence, and at first, I didnt recognize it. I couldnt even make sense of what they were saying at first, until everything settled in, and I realized that it was Carlisle who had spoken.
"As you all know, we are here to discuss Bella's transformation." He began professionally. "Bella, are you still sure you want to do this? It will be very painful, and once you make this decision, there will be no going back." He warned, turning his attention to me.
I simply nodded, not capable of actually composing a proper sentence.
"Ok. Then with that being said, we need to consider some of the precautions. Edward? Any suggestions?" Carlisle questioned.
"Actually, I was wondering if we could possibly give Bella morphine to ease the pain. I don't think I couls stand to see her endure this full on." Edward said, his voice no where near as composed as it usually was.
"I have thought that idea over, Edward, and I believe that it could possibly work for the first while, but once her heart stops, the morphine will be of no use, and the most intense pain begins after the heart has stopped. We can give her morphine for the beginning, but I'm afraid that is all we will be able to do." He stated matter-of-factly, getting straight to the point.
"I understand." Edward said, and it almost seemed asif this new information caused him pain.
"I also believe we will have to chain Bella down. She will most likely be thrashing in pain, and we simply cannot allow her to somehow hurt herself in doing this. Please understand that the chains are meant to help you, Bella."
Once again, I nodded.
"Are there any other points that anyone wishes to discuss?" He inquired, in an attempt to pull this meeting to an end.
There were severaled 'no's and 'not really's from the room and it was then that I realized exactly what was happpening. I was going to be changed. Right then and right there. I feeling of excitement shot over but tme hat was instantly replaced by a sick feeling. I reassured myself that this what what I wanted before standing to face Edward again.
His eyes were full of uncertainty.
"Don't worry about me Edward." I said, trying to ease his nerves. "I'll be fine. I love you more than anything in the univers and this is exactly what I want." I reached up on my tippy toes to give Edward a final kiss before I was changed. As if Edwar sened this, the kiss became infinatly more passionate. It was full of love, lust, desire and left me dizzy. I heard Emmett whistle from behind me and my face shot red. Edward, reluctantly pulled away, giving me my favorite crooked smile, before recomposing his face and turning toCarlisle.
"I think it's time"
