"Whisked Back"
By: lookinthestars
A/N: Hey! Thank you for all the reviews! Most of them said my story was good, but the ending was too short and I agree. My brother was bugging me to get off the computer, so I raced to finish the chapter so you could read it. Anyway, this is a redo of the ending and I will tell you when the changes begin! Thanks!
P.S. A reviewer pointed out that 30 reviews was way too much for only 2 chapters, and I agree. That was a typo, and I meant to put 13 (my lucky number). I've got 10, so here is a little gift to you!
P.P.S I will update this story and move on to chapter 2 tonight!
P.P.P.S The story I borrowed the idea from is called "Reborn". Read it, it's a great story. I have it in my 'Favorite Stories' if you want to check it out!

Chapter One:
"Seeing Red"
"No." I protested. Alice held up a bathing suit that could have passed for a tissue.
"Bella, please? Edward will love it!" Alice pressed. Still sensing my reluctance, she sighed then spoke, "Bella, you'll look amazing in this. Even if you're not a vampire. Yet." She whispered, her unreal eyes twinkling.
"But…" I muttered, trying to think of a reasonable argument, "I don't look as good as you and Rosalie do! Prove to me that I won't look like a rodent next to you, and I'll wear…that."
"Fine." Alice grunted. She shoved her pale, elegant arm into her oversized purse and dug around. She stopped, then turned to me with a dangerous smug look plastered on her face, and shoved a photo in between my eyes.
I grabbed the photo from her poised grip. My eyes quickly flashed over the picture. I smiled, and then sighed. Alice was right. I mean, who would bet against Alice?
"Ha," She replied at once, taking in my look of defeat. "Now, I'm going to ring all this up," She explained, gesturing to the pile of clothes that had accumulated during or shopping spree, "Rosalie should be out of the fitting room soon…" Alice leaned in close to me, "One she's done looking at herself. Give her another minute, and then call security."
I instantly started to combust, and giggle uncontrollably. Alice was right. Again. Rosalie had been in the fitting room for over half an hour and she had only taken an evening gown in to try own. She was obviously staring at herself.
The door of the fitting room flung open. "I heard that!" Rosalie screeched. Of course she heard it, she's a vampire with super sensitive hearing. I could tell that she was being playful and drawing attention to herself because a smile was starting to tug at her perfect lips.
Everyone in the store had turned to Rosalie to see what had caused the loud bang! A few seconds later, all eyes were still glued to Rosalie. I couldn't blame anyone, Rosalie looked stunning. Her bright red dress looked breathtaking with her pale skin and golden hair. Her gold eyes were also creating a dreamlike effect to her presence.
I glanced back down to the photo I held in my hand as Alice pranced off to the cash register. The photo was of our family, the Cullens. There were eight of us and we were all standing in front of our home in Forks. I had moved in with the Cullens after marrying Edward. I still was in contact with Charlie and Renee. My parents didn't wholly approve of me marrying at 18, but had soon after realized how much Edward and I really loved each other. That had taken Renee aback. The last time she had seen Edward, it was "just a crush."
I looked at the picture again. Carlisle, with his movie-star looks and blonde hair, was standing behind Esme, a lifelike Snow White, smirking. Rosalie stood next to Emmett. Their presence was amazing and, oh, so strong. Alice had a sweet smile on her face and held hands with Jasper, a smile tugging on his lips. I quietly gasped when I saw Edward, his auburn hair dancing, his eyes, happy. His arm was wrapped around my waist and protectively holding me to him. I was last in the picture and possibly the happiest.
My long brown hair was thrown about in the picture, by the wind, and I looked almost has amazing as Rosalie, or Alice. My arms were both around Edwards's body, my head against his chest. I was hugging myself to him, as he was hugging himself to me. We looked like the happiest couple in the photo. But, then again, we all looked unbelievably happy, even Rosalie. Rosalie and I had made amends and were close, like sisters. I'd never been happier.
"Bella! Rosalie! We should change into our bathing suits here so we can just drive to the beach and swim." Alice yelled across the store. She held bags of clothes in her hands and was standing right next to the fitting rooms.
"I'm tanning." Rosalie muttered. I giggled a little. It was almost impossible for her, or any vampire to tan. But, then again, she didn't need to tan. Rosalie looked amazing with her white skin.
"Is that where we're going? The beach?" I asked. I hadn't had a clue to where we were going. Alice nodded her head ecstatically.
"The boys are already there with Esme, setting up." She explained. Rosalie and I made our way over to the fitting rooms, passing bright clothes all thrown about. They clothes had been neatly stacked before Alice had arrived.
"Alice," I hissed, trying to be quiet. I leaned my head in, next to her ear, "How are you and Rosalie….and everyone else, supposed to be at a beach? And swim?" Rosalie and Alice had to walk into the Forks Mall wearing jackets, gloves, and large brimmed hats, covering every inch of their skin, protecting it from the suns revealing power. Rosalie and Alice's seemingly diamond encrusted skin would have definitely been a spectacle. Rosalie stared at my, trying to figure out what I was asking when Alice started to smirk.
"Silly Bella, we have our own private beach! Doesn't everyone?" Alice teased.
"Of course you have your own beach" I huffed.
We all took our skimpy bikinis and each went into a fitting room. I reluctantly took of my clothes and pulled off the tags. I slipped the bathing suit and stared at myself in the mirror after adjusting it. I had to admit, I looked beautiful. Maybe a little stripper-like, but still beautiful. The blue bikini looked incredible with my albino skin. Edward had always told me that he was very partial to dark blue with my skin, so I wore it as often as I could. I put my sweater and jeans back on, over the suit and stepped out. Rosalie had changed out of her red dress and was back in her everyday clothes as well as Alice. The were huddled together in a tight bundle, and Alice was talking franticly to Rosalie. Both of there eyes were wide and filled with excitement. They flipped around facing me, when they heard me. Alice must have been dishing out something interesting for them not to hear me sooner.
"Uhh…" Alice stumbled, trying to snap back into reality, "Could you have been any….slower?" Rosalie snorted, her lips were trying to hide her huge grin, and it wasn't working. They obviously knew something I didn't.
"Well, excuse me for not having super vampire speed" I mumbled. Alice and Rosalie looked at each other in the corner of their eyes with strange looks and Rosalie whispered, just loud enough that I could hear:
"Yet." Rosalie started to smile again at me, while Alice giggled to herself. They both broke down, roaring with laughter, leaning over, trying to contain themselves.
"What?" I asked, frantically.
"Nothing, nothing." Rosalie muttered, glaring as Alice still smiled insanely.
"Are you two on drugs?" I teased, a little curious. They both shook their heads, staring at each other, knowingly.
We left the mall and made our way to Rosalie's red Mercedes. We definitely looked a tad conspicuous. Two, unbelievably gorgeous, women were dressed for winter, and it was the end of July.
Alice drove recklessly fast towards the Cullen's private beach and we reached our destination in a little under 20 minutes. I had no clue where we were though, so I had no idea how far we had driven. All I knew was that we were in the middle of nowhere and the Cullens had a lot of land near the ocean.
We hopped out of the car and shed our shirts and pants. The car had stopped in the middle of a brightly lit forest, the sand from the beach showing a tad in the winding roots on the ground. Rosalie and Alice were ready to run vampire speed to the beach, and were waiting for me. Human Bella. Alice whispered something to Rosalie under her breath. Rosalie shared a kind glance towards Alice, then took of running.
"Come on, Bella. I'm going to carry you to the beach." Alice explained. I nodded and cautiously slipped my oversized shirt onto my overly exposed body. Alice shook her head and laughed. I hopped into her waiting arms.
"Ready?" Alice asked.
"Ready."
In a second, a wind whipped around me as Alice ran gracefully. The trees were a green blur as Alice made her way closer to the beach. She soon stopped and set me on the ground.
"It's just through those trees" Alice said, pointing to a group of evergreens. Alice then raced through the leaves and became a blur. I walked after her and pushed the trees apart. There, in front of me, was probably the most inviting thing I'd ever seen. Besides the clear, blue ocean and endless white sand, was Edward, waiting for me. He smiled his special crooked smiled and gestured for me to sit next to him. I smiled back at him and sprinted to him. The sand between my toes felt so good. When I reached him, he took me into his arms.
"Hello," He greeted me, pressing his lips to mine. I reached my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He seemed to be more flexible when it came to our physical relationship, now that we were married. He was usually okay when I pushed it farther. But he hadn't changed me yet so we never…had a real honeymoon. He was afraid of hurting me. My heart sped up and he heard that. Edward smiled in our kiss, then pulled back. I stared into his gold eyes.
"Hi," I said, snuggling closer into his chest, "Where is everyone?" I said after looking around and realizing we were alone.
"Oh. We all have our own private stretch of the beach today." He explained, grinning, "Everyone wanted to be alone, with their….spouse. The house is closest to Carlisle and Esme's beach." I snorted. Edward laughed at my reaction.
"When did you get this? We've never been here before. It's beautiful."
Edward ruffled my hair, "Carlisle purchased it the same week as our wedding," He and I both smiled remembering our day, "He thought we might like to use it for our honeymoon, but it had to be remodeled."
"So you took us to Australia," I teased, "You're losing your touch Edward." He chuckled and then we were both quiet, content with being in each others arms. I stared at my wedding ring.
"Edward?" I said, breaking the silence.
"Mhmm?" He muttered, busy tracing my lips.
"Why…Why haven't you….changed…me? You said….after we were married."
He froze.
"I'm pretty sure we're married, considering I still have nightmares about Alice dressing me up and putting on a ton of make up on me." I mumbled, trying to lighten my out-of-the-blue remark.
"Bella…" Edward thoughtfully spoke, while touching my hair, "I have…decided to change you…tonight." Edward winced as he said 'tonight'.
I sat up quickly, my face shining with hope. "Really?"
"Yes." Edward sighed.
"Thank you, Edward! Thank you!" I shouted, starting to cry. I hugged him tightly, then looked up into his topaz eyes, "I love you." Edward smiled, but his angelic face was still pained.
"I love you, too, Bella." Edward said into my hair. He lifted his head, "But first, we have to have some fun!" Edward announced, trying to mask his pain.
"Duh!" I snorted, trying to sound like a valley girl. Edward picked me up and stood. He put me on my feet and leaned his glorious face close to mine.
"And even before that, you have to take this off." He whispered into my ear, tugging on the sleeve of my cover-up. I winced, then slowly pulled off the oversized shirt and dropped it to the sand. Edward stared at my body a little too long. So, I playfully slapped him in the arm. He probably didn't feel a thing.
"Edward!"
"Sorry," He said sheepishly, holding me close to his chest, which I then noticed, was covered.
"If I have to wear…this" I exclaimed, pointing to the blue suit, " Then you have to take off your shirt!" I blushed scarlet. That definitely came out wrong. Not wrong, because it's what I wanted, but I would have phrased it differently…
He laughed, "Will you come swimming with me then?" Even if I said no, he would surely drag me along.
"Sure"
"Okay, then." Edward grinned, then shed his shirt exposing his perfectly sculpted chest. I continued to ogle at him until he grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the ocean.
"Now we're even." He said while roaring with laughter. We dove into the ocean holding hands and spent the afternoon enjoying one and others company. When the sun started to set we made our way to the house.
I changed into dry clothes and walked downstairs. The house was a modern beach house and didn't have as much charm as our house in Forks did, but it was big and beautiful nonetheless. I managed to get down the stairs without falling, but was surprised when I reached the bottom and saw everyone waiting for me. Edward looked sick.
"Bella…" Carlisle spoke to me. I turned to look at him, "Are you ready for Edward to cha-"
"Yes!" I yelped, cutting him off.
"Okay." Carlisle said. He turned to Edward, then everyone else. "Everyone else, you might want to leave." Alice smiled encouragingly at me then everyone left the room. Carlisle motioned for Edward to come closer to me. He obeyed, unwillingly. Edward took my hand.
"Bella, Edward is going to bite you now. It will hurt horribly, but you just have to stay relaxed. I'll make sure everything is okay with the transformation, and then I'll leave Edward alone with you." Carlisle explained thoroughly.
I shivered, but Edward held my hand tighter. Everything would be okay with Edward there.
"Okay. Edward?" Carlisle asked.
Edward leaned over my body and pressed his lips to mine one last time and then whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too, Edward." I said. And then he leaned down, pressed his lips to my neck, then bit me.
Pain surged through my body, much like the fire that had been only on my hand but now it was at my feet, working upwards. I screamed in pain.
"Edward! Stop the fire! Edward!" I yelled. Edward who had taken a step back, raced toward me, but Carlisle pinned him down.
"Edward! Don't! You can't suck the venom out! You put to much venom in. It's too late." Carlisle restrained him. Edward roared.
The pain was up to my head now and numbing me entire body. Carlisle was finished checking the transformation. Through what I could hear, everything was going fine. Carlisle left the room leaving me with Edward. Edward held my hand and tried to soothe me.
"Shhh. Bella. It's okay. It'll be over soon. Soon." Edward whispered. My hearing was already becoming more attuned. Edward climbed next to me onto the bed in Edwards room that they had moved me to. Edward had gotten a bed for me after I moved in. The last thing I felt was Edwards cool hand against my neck, soothing the biggest pain.
REDO:
The three days went by slowly, with me in a haze like sort of trance. I could feel that Edward never left my side, through all the pain. Occasionally, he'd whisper words of encouragement and soothing very quietly, away from my head because he was well aware that my hearing was strongly sensitive. If Edward had whispered casually, I would have heard it has an airplane taking off right next to me. He rubbed my back, and kissed my hair whenever I whimpered or thrashed about in pain. I was forever grateful to him.
I was somewhat aware of how long I had been in my transformation. I was almost positive that it had been three days since Edward bit me. I tried asking Edward how much longer the pain would go on for, but my mouth wasn't working. The burning deep down in my throat was too much to handle.
Sometimes, Alice would visit me, sitting by my bed, muttering to Edward. Edward would simply keep his arm wrapped around me and try to talk without hurting my ears. Rosalie and Emmett sometimes came in to Edward's room, too. My blurred vision told me that they'd always looked sympathetic toward me and Edward. Sometimes they'd chat with him. Carlisle came in every so often, to check on my progress with Esme. She'd push back my changing hair and cool my forehead with a damp washcloth.
Jasper never came to visit me, though, because Edward had whispered to me that the scent of my blood was much stronger and I figured Jasper couldn't handle that yet. That was also probably why Edward had never kissed me during my transformation.
All the sudden, I shattering pain swept through my body, reaching my heart. It felt so much worse then the pain that I had been through the last few days.
"Edward," I gasped, "Heart…help!" And it was true; the ripping pain meant that my heart was just about to stop. Edward jumped up and yelled,
"Carlisle! Bella's heart! It's stopping." He paced frantically around the room, vampire speed. Edward then seemed to remember I was just about to die. Uh…Hello? I'd get him back for that.
Edward sprinted across the room and took my face between his marble hands.
"Bella, just stay calm. Carlisle should be here so-" Edward soothed, cut off by Carlisle jumping into the room.
"Edward! Check her forehead. I'll make sure everything is going good and-" Carlisle shot off. Edward slipped his hand onto my head. It still felt like ice, and I wondered if that meant something was going wrong.
"She's burning up. Is that bad?" I could hear the worry wrapped in his voice.
"No, that just means tha-" Carlisle explained.
Then, my heart stopped.
Both vampires turned to look at my, as soon as they heard my heart stop. The pain suddenly disappeared and I sat up straight. Edward gasped, then grinned.
"Bella? How do you feel, do you feel thirsty? Sick? Pained?" Carlisle asked. Just as Edward reached out to me, Carlisle stopped him, "Hold on, Edward. I've got to make sure nothing is wrong with her first. Then you can have her."
Edward smiled sheepishly at Carlisle, and then gave me a strange look. He looked…evil, like he was about to do something really bad. I giggled.
"Bella," Carlisle looked at me again, "Do you feel thirsty?" Edward looked depressed. I could only imagine what he was thinking: What if Bella ruins this for us? What if she breaks the treaty with the wolves? What if she will up like Jasper, and not adjust to this life soon?
"Uhh….what exactly is thirsty? I know for blood, but what does thirst feel like?" I wondered. I didn't feel like I was hungry like I would have for not eating for three days. I didn't feel any type of hunger at all.
"It almost feels like if you were dehydrated as a human, but with a burning at the back of your throat." Edward added, jumping in eagerly.
I put my hand to my throat, expecting the thirst to break out, but I still felt nothing. Then, I realized Edward hadn't touched me as a vampire yet. Did he still love me?
"I don't feel anything," I admitted, scared something was wrong with me.
"Hmm…I'll go get the blood." Carlisle murmured. I could hear him even if he whispered, no that I has super vampire hearing. I smiled. Carlisle looked at Edward, obviously telling him something in his mind. Edward frowned, and then nodded. I looked at him suspiciously as Carlisle ran out the door.
"What?" I asked. He smiled then folded his arms around his chest.
"You still smell wonderful, Bella. Your scent may even be a tad stronger." He said, making small talk. I fought the urge to run to him.
"That's great," I teased, "But what did Carlisle tell you?" I asked, anxiously.
"He told me not to touch you yet, because he's taking out some blood that we drink if there isn't much game around." He smiled, "He thought that if I touched you, you might get lost in your senses and lose control from the smell of the blood."
I looked, away embarrassed. If I could have blushed, I would have right there. Then, Carlisle came running back into the room, noting that Edward was still not close to me. I walked up to me and spoke:
"This holds pigs blood," He said, shaking one of the two metal, sealed, containers he was holding, then shook the other, "This is humans blood," I gasped. "Don't worry. I get it from the blood bank at the hospital, not from…" He trailed off. I nodded. I could handle this, I could handle this….
Carlisle handed the metal containers to Edward, then wrapped his arms around my stomach. (AN: Just read ahead, you'll get it.)
"I have to restrain you from getting to the blood. Edward, open the pigs blood. One, Two, Three, Now!" Carlisle counted off. Edward then quickly slipped open the first metal containers lid. His eyes turned a little darker. Pure animals blood must be harder to resist when they're out in the open. Carlisle's arms had tightened around me. Everyone, including myself, was expecting me to struggle….
Nothing.
I didn't smell anything, or fight the urge of the blood because there was none.
"Bella?" Carlisle asked in wonder.
"I…I…don't smell anything." Carlisle motioned for Edward to came closer. Edward stepped forward, gazing at me with curious eyes.
"Still nothing." I thought out loud. Edward seemed to believe me, because he came forward and shoved the container up near my nose.
"Umm…." I said. Carlisle stepped back from my and told Edward something in his mind. Edward put the lid back over the container and moved onto the humans' blood. He picked up the container.
"Open it." Carlisle instructed while holding me back. Edward slipped off the lid and winced. Edward watched me closely, then moved forward.
"I smell something…" I mumbled. I could smell something very distant, but it was coming to me. Something tugged at my memory. "Eeyuck! It smells like rust…and salt!" I said stepping back. Carlisle let go of me and then moved in front of me.
"Not appetizing?" Carlisle asked me. I shook my head.
"Does rust and salt sound appetizing to you?" I stated. Edward roared with laughter.
"I think we found your power. You don't like the smell of blood." Carlisle announced, eyes wide.
"But…how will I eat?" I asked.
"You'll never be thirsty. Ever." Carlisle explained.
"Bella! That's amazing!" Edward grinned, "Ha! You told me that blood smelt like salt and rust to you when I had to save you form being blood-typed."
"So she must not have like the smell of blood when she was human…I guess this makes some sense…I have to go tell everyone!" Carlisle raced down the stair and out the front door.
"They're all at the mall, buying you gifts. Alice's idea." Edward told me. I laughed a fake laugh.
"Of course." I thought of something, "So…can you touch me now?" I asked Edward.
"I guess…" He leaned closer to me, his lips descending toward mine. Then both our heads shot up. I smelled something foul, worse then skunk. Like rotten eggs or…
"Victoria…." Edward growled. All the sudden, his eyes started to get bigger, and his lip quivered. "She wants to kill you."
"But I'm a vampire! She can't kill me!" I protested.
"Bella….there's only one way you can kill a vampire…" His thought trailed off.
You have to rip the vampire to shreds, then burn it.
"No!" I screamed.
Edward glanced out the window. "Bella, she's here. I'll protect you don't worry. I'll protect-"
All the sudden, a menacing growl filled the room. A blur of red and white entered the room and stopped in the center.
"Look!" Victoria growled, "Bella's a vampire too. How sweet. Guess I'll just have to hurt Edward first, then he can watch!" Edward roared with pain. Victoria hadn't touched him, but he was pained for me.
I stood there, not knowing how to protect myself or Edward, as he crouched into the fighting position,
"Just stay back, Bella. You can't help yet. I'll be fine." His words stung. I thought that I became a vampire so I could save him as well as him saving me, along with other reasons. Nonetheless, I backed up.
Then, Victoria, flung herself at Edward, landing on is hunched back. He roared with physical pain as Victoria started ripping at his unbreakable, marble skin. I yelped, and started to think of how to help. I couldn't. I was so disappointed in myself. I hated myself.
Edward and Victoria fought around the room, with me standing against a wall, a coward. I had thought about running, but I would never beat Victoria. She was ripping Edward up, for god's sake.
"Stop it!" I screamed, my last wave of hope diminishing, "Just stop!"
"Fine." Victoria dropped Edwards, bloody, ripped up body to the ground.
"Edward!" I screamed, "No!" Victoria shoved her hand with piercing red nails up to my mouth as I looked at Edward with horror.
"Bella…." Edward moaned, the life draining from him.
Then I felt a searing pain on my face as Victoria scratched me. I stumbled backwards onto the bed. I numbed out as she ripped my body apart.
"Bella!" Edward yelled, his swollen eyes opening and closing. "No….Bella." He started to dry sob, as well as I did. Victoria backed off me, her work obviously done. She chuckled.
"Finally." And with that, she took a match box out of her pocket and lit one. She tossed it to me. I instantly was engulfed in flames, and the last thing I saw was Victoria chucking a lit match at Edward, his face stricken with sorrow as he stared at me, oblivious to the fact that he was also dieing.
"Bella."
"Edward"
Then, we died.
I hope this was better then the original ending! Leave your opinions!
P.S. In case your wondering, vampires have blood in them. The blood is of the last animal (or human) they fed off of.
(I don't know about Bella in this story though…..)
