Last chapter:

The pain was taking over me. I tried to push Marcus off of me, but it did nothing, it made him bite down harder. I couldn't focus anymore and I fell right into purgatory itself. I could hear the outside surroundings, but the fire coursing through my veins reminded me of hell.

Chapter Twelve

Enmity

The minute my eyes opened, I could feel heavy venom in my mouth. I was thirsty. It was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I could smell something sweet in front of me. I longed for it. I tried to get up, but Jane held me down.

"You can't eat our pilot." She fumed. The venom was oozing in my throat. I needed to eat.

"We figured you'd eat the Carlisle way." Alec sneered at me. I looked up at him then and he pointed to a bathroom. We must have been on a personal jet. I got up gracefully, for the first time in my existence. Before I opened the door I could smell it. It wasn't nearly as appetizing as the pilot was. It wasn't even really appetizing at all. I looked into the room and there was a small goat. I scowled at it as I opened the cage. I thought I would be confused and need Edward or Alice to show me how to "eat" but it came naturally. The need to drink was taking over my body. I closed the door in the little room and let the goat run. I was speeding off after it, the thrill of catching it, was so much more satisfying than the actual blood it's self. When I was done I threw the carcass in its empty cage and decided Jane and Alec could clean it up. I went to wipe my mouth, but it was clean.

Every part of my body that Marcus had bitten me was sore; this had to be a "bonus" from changing the fast way. I flinched remembering the pain that was inflicted upon me less than five hours ago. Suffering like that felt like a lifetime. I went to sit back in my seat. I couldn't believe it. I was a vampire. I'd finally get to be with Edward forever. The thought made a humongous smile spread across my face.

Jane and Alec were about ten rows of seats ahead of me. I could tell that they were up to something. I could feel something wrong coming from them.

Maybe I wouldn't get forever with my Edward. I sighed longingly. I couldn't think like that. Even if they did kill me, I had decided to die for him a long time ago; it wouldn't make a difference now. The moment I sighed, they both turned their head towards me. They had the same expression on their face. They both seemed to be annoyed and furious that I was on the same plane with them. Then they both turned back towards each other quickly and began whispering something inaudible, even to my new advanced hearing.

I wondered if I looked any different. Of course I'd have red eyes now, but would I be as perfect as Edward? That couldn't be possible. Could I get a body like Rosalie's? I almost laughed aloud nothing could turn me into that. I touched my stomach and it was hardened. I was no longer the skinny soft girl. I smiled. I had more coordination now! And I would never fall again! That thought made my smile grow.

Our plane ride was silent only giving me time to think. What was I going to do about Charlie? Would I ever get to see him again? Or Renée? Jacob and I definitely would no longer be friends—nothing could stop it now—it was inevitable. I buried my head into my hands. This wouldn't go over real well with Jacob at all. I thought of the last time I'd actually talked to him. He just called to make sure I was still a human and then hung up on me. I wonder what he'd do if he could see me now. Would he kill me? I hated that we couldn't be friends because of this. It was ridiculous. I loved Jake and he was my best friend and I had to give him up, because we were enemies now. If I could have cried I would have. Maybe there was still hope. Maybe our friendship would prevail over this stupid treaty over this stupid natural enemy thing. No. He was right, I had made my choice a long time ago; I just never wanted to admit that the choice I made would cause Jacob—the one who picked me up when I fell—so much pain. The plane ride seemed endless because I couldn't sleep. When we finally landed I could have jumped from excitement. I wondered how Edward would react when he saw me. I wondered if Alice had seen this coming. I hoped Edward would understand and forgive me, for the whole wedding shenanigan. I hoped he'd still love me. I had hurt him so much, but he had to understand. I would get on my knees and beg for forgiveness. I would chase after him for decades if that's what it would take for him to forgive me.

Once we landed, I turned to Jane and Alec. I nodded as if to thank them. They both stared hatefully after me as I ran—at human speed—to my truck that was still parked at the airport. I had never been happier that the sun was blocked by the clouds. I turned on my radio as I "sped" to Edward's house. "Be My Escape" was on and my smile grew. I could actually marry him now! I looked at my wedding finger and my grin grew. I was at his house now. I was glad that I had avoided humans. I could smell them every where I went, I had to force myself not to breath. It was the most annoying thing—trying to keep from natural instincts—but I knew it was necessary for all of the humans to live. I pulled into his drive way and instantly I knew—I didn't know how I knew, but I did—I could see it all right in front of me, they were gone, they had started the war anyways. I was terrified. I couldn't believe it! I told him not to do anything stupid! I told him I went away to save him! I was furious with him.

I pulled out and my truck was hollering at me as I tried to push it over fifty. It was taking too long, I was anxious; I couldn't let them do this! I couldn't let them kill each other! I pulled over and ran. I ran faster than I'd ever run before it was exhilarating. I could feel the win push by me; it was better than being on Edward's back. Adrenaline was pulsing through my veins, I had to stop them somehow I had to stop them.

It wasn't until I was halfway to La Push that something tore into my side. I could feel blood—must have been from my human days—gushing out of me. I turned around to see Alec and Jane whooshing all around me, circling me. My dream flashed in front of me and I realized, I had been a vampire in my dream, but it never meant that the Cullens had to be the ones to turn me. I was in pain, but I couldn't let them kill me, without stopping the Cullens from getting hurt by the wolves.

The need to find Edward was coursing through my veins. I needed to find him. I had to keep running. I had to. There was no other option. There was nothing else I could do. I was about eight yards ahead of Jane and Alec and I knew I had no where to go. If I went straight I'd run into newly acquired enemies, enemies that used to be my friends. If I turned around I'd run into them. I was in the middle of a war now, and I was cornered into death, another one, one that I wouldn't wake up from. There was no time for any more choices. No time to plan out my next move, leaving Edward was the stupidest thing I'd ever done, I had caused the war in my dream, not from the Cullens turning me, but from me leaving. I had to find Edward. I just had to. I couldn't die without remembering him perfectly, not this time.

I was running again. I ran straight into Alice. Her eyes were huge when she saw my red irises. She was fighting Paul and I could see the marks on her. I frowned and asked her, "Where's Edward! You guys have to stop!" She didn't have time to answer me she had to fight off Paul. Everyone was fighting, even Carlisle and Esme. I could smell something, it was distant, it was blood, but it didn't smell good at all. It smelt disgusting. It was the grossest thing I had ever smelt. My side wasn't gushing blood anymore; I could feel venom pouring out. It hurt to run, but I had to keep going.

I saw him then. He and Jake were both in our meadow. Jake was on the ground bleeding profusely and Edward was biting into his shoulder. I gasped aloud and pulled Edward off of him. I kneeled down beside Jake and he transformed back into a human.

"Jake are you okay?" I breathed heavily into his ear. He looked up at me and the sun was setting over my shoulders; it was twilight.

"Am I in hell?" he breathed out.

I chuckled softly, "No, I'll miss you. You have to stop them Jake, this is wrong."

"You're one of them." He sobbed and ran off into the distance. Edward looked at me then and realized who I was.

"Bella!?" His voice was the best thing I'd ever heard.

"Edward!" I jumped up and flew into his arms. "I'm so sorry. I had to, I thought I had to, you have to know I love you." I kissed him. It was an actual kiss for the first time. It was nothing close to being chaste, neither one of us was holding back. He was holding me and then something—someone—knocked him down. Jane stood over him and made him shake and writher in pain. Alec came from behind me and I could feel him ripping off a piece of my flesh. It wasn't like the burning hell of being turned; it was like someone freezing a piece of your skin off of you. It was so cold I was shivering as I clenched my side.

"She'll suffer more if he dies first." Alec grimaced. Edward was trying to compose himself from crying out. Jane was keeping her evil eyes on him and I couldn't stand this. I couldn't let them kill him. I loved him too much for him to die; I'd been through too much for him to die.

"NO!" I cried out in agony. The thought of Edward not existing rippled through me, cutting me deep, hurting more than anything that had ever hurt me. Adrenaline, fear, and pain were coming from me with waves and all I could think was not him. No not him. The unexpected happened. Everything stopped. Time itself was stopped. I looked out at Jane and Edward and everything was frozen in place. Alec was about to try to rip off another piece of my flesh but he was frozen from moving. I didn't think. I just stared at Jane and I stared at Alec and I pulled all of the pain that I'd ever felt and I thought of what Edward must have been feeling and I hurled it at them—I didn't know the mechanics of it—but I hurled it at them with full force. I was so dizzy at that moment that I fell and I blacked out.
