(Jasper's POV)
I knew it was bad idea for me to go to school when I was so thirsty, but no. Alice had convinced me that she would be able to restrain me if anything were to happen. She did it all the time, but I didn't usually let myself get as thirsty as I was then. Alice didn't want to be away from me though, and so I had stupidly agreed to go to school and try my hardest not to drink anyone dry.
The day went by without anything big happening. I restrained myself easily from most of the kids at school. Of course some of them had a better scent than the others, and that made it harder, but spending time around Bella made things easier for me all the time. At lunch Edward, Alice, and I had decided that we wanted to skip our last class, and then Edward and Alice had tried to persuade Bella to come with us.
Eventually she agreed, and so after fifth hour we all walked across the parking lot towards Edward's Volvo. Alice and Edward were obviously having a conversation they didn't want Bella to hear, because they were walking right next to each other, and neither were saying anything, but every once in a while Edward would nod or say something quickly and quietly. This whole silent conversation thing always bugged Bella, but she appeared deep in thought today, and so she didn't say anything to make them stop. I walked a little ahead of the group thinking to myself and trying to catch emotions from Edward to see what they were planning.
Then I smelled it. The wonderful scent of Bella's blood came to me with such intensity that I had to go for it. There was no way I could keep myself from her blood. I lunged at her, but I realized there were two sets of arms holding me back. Bella just sat there on the asphalt looking at us as if she was waiting for something to happen. I knew Alice and Edward weren't strong enough to hold me back forever, and so I knew I'd get to taste her blood.
It had been so long since I last had human blood, but I remembered how amazing it tasted. Human blood was so much more filling than animal blood, and it tasted even better than its scent sometimes. I could feel Edward and Alice struggling, and I knew it was my chance to break free. I lunged at Bella again, and before I knew I had reached her I had bitten into her neck. She struggled, but did not scream, because she knew that would bring attention to us.
Then Edward was tearing me off of her, and Alice was helping her up from the ground. There were tears running down Bella's cheeks from the pain, and that was when I realized what I had just done. I had bitten Bella. There was no time to get the venom out of her body before she started to change. I had just taken everything special about Bella's human life. Surely Edward would never forgive me for biting Bella. There wasn't enough time for him to save her, which meant that today had been Bella's last day as a human, and Edward didn't even get a chance to cherish it like he had planned for when she was supposed to be changed.
Alice came over to me and Edward who had walked away so he could calm me down. She was supporting Bella slightly, because the pain from the venom was starting to spread through her body. Bella walked over to Edward and he picked her up. Alice looked at me with concern, and I smiled weakly at her. She shouldn't be concerned about me. I had just bitten her best friend. I had damned Bella to a life that would not be nice to her, and the emotions of Edward and Alice showed me that they knew it as well.
We walked over to the car, Edward carrying Bella, and Alice opened the back side door for Edward. Someone tossed me the keys and I got in and started the engine. When the others were in and buckled up I started to drive out of the parking lot. I tried to concentrate on driving, but in the confines of the Volvo everyone's emotions were screaming at me, threatening me so that I'd lose control again. Most of these emotions were coming from the back seat as Edward tried to make Bella as comfortable as possible.
Pain, regret, anger, sadness, longing, love.. just the things I could recognize that they were feeling as Edward held her to him whispering soothing words to her as she writhed in pain.
Edward asked me if I would go faster, and I complied. I knew how desperate he was to have hope that Bella could come out of this alive, but he knew it was impossible. I wasn't paying much attention to anything other than the emotions in the car when I felt Alice's hand rubbing my back. I sighed as I relaxed a little, and I smiled back at her.
My angel. Alice. What would I do if someone hurt her? I suddenly realized the intensity of what I had done to Edward and Bella, and I knew that I did not deserve the kind family I had found, especially Alice.
AN: Guys I thought about ending it here, but I need to add a few more details into this prologue before we get going into the real story. Ok? So here's the rest of the chapter.
(EPOV)
Bella was now laying on the couch in my room. She had passed out from pain while were driving, and had yet to wake up. That was ok though. I preferred her to be asleep when she was in this much pain. To see her eyes like that broke my heart, and I wished she had just decided to stay at school for the rest of the day. It was my fault I knew, because if I had not convinced her to come with us then she would have been sitting in her sixth hour class waiting for the bell to ring so she could go home.
Everyone else was home now as well. Alice had told them all to leave me alone with Bella for a while, so they were sitting in Carlisle's study waiting for me to come and talk to them. I'm pretty sure Alice had a vision about what was going to happen and had told everyone about it, but I didn't care. All I cared about was my Bella. My angel.
I sat like that for two days before I made up my mind about what I had to do. I could not live with the guilt I felt that I had ended her life short. She had lost her chance to say goodbye to her family and friends, and it was all my fault. I decided I had to leave. She would be so much better off without me, and so on the third day of her change everyone gathered in my room as I told them what I was going to do.
"I'm leaving." I said. They all nodded as if this was no shock to them. Alice had told them this was going to happen.
"We know Edward, and we have a plan. If you really think you need to leave her that badly. All of us are coming with you." Carlisle said. Emmett shook his head.
"I am not! I have told you this already. She doesn't deserve to be left here alone. It will cause more danger to us than it will to her. If she goes in public and loses control then everyone in Forks will know about us, and the treaty will be broken. She is after all one of us. She can't be left alone. You at least should know that." Emmett said looking at me. "I can't believe you. You say you love her, but you're going to leave her when she needs you most?" He thought.
I cringed. I knew he was right, but I had to go. I couldn't live with my guilt. I would just make her miserable. That's when I noticed Rosalie wasn't there. "Where's Rose?" I asked looking at Emmett.
"She's mad at me. She doesn't want me to stay, but we have eternity. I know I'll see her again." Emmett said "She refused to stay, but I told her I had too. Bella is like my little sister. You know that. Plus Alice had a vision that we'll see each other again." He thought and I could see the pain in his eyes.
We planned to leave for Alaska as soon as possible. I had packed everything I would need, and we were all ready to go. We stood at the door about to leave; Emmett stood there saying his goodbyes to everyone. Rosalie wouldn't look at him, and he was trying his hardest not to lose it right there.
I listened to Bella scream out in pain as the final part of her transformation was coming to an end. She would be happy without me. Emmett would take care of her, but I couldn't help but think that my heart would be even deader than it was, if that were possible.
We left the house taking all of our cars with us except for Emmett's jeep. I thought about what Emmett had said in my room as I pulled away from the house, my love screaming inside.
"Goodbye my angel." I whispered to myself.
AN: Ok guys. The end of the prologue. Emmett is staying with Bella. Edward is leaving, and they won't meet again for a very long time. The next chapter is just going to be a basic over view of what happens over the next hundred and fifty years in a few different characters points of view. I hope you like this. I thought about getting this chapter beta'd, but then I edited it myself. So hopefully it's not that bad.
Much Love,
Diger
