What happened next I can't be sure of. Few things were for certain. I was transfixed on the base with Emmett crashing toward me, to get the ball thrown to first, and Alice running, filling in the gap too quick. They were going to crash -- with me in the middle. It was going to be a Bella sandwich.
With a sickening squelch, my ribs snapped, my lung collapsed, and my nose broke. I was numb for a split second and then pain and blood started gushing through my body. I couldn't breath. All the breath was knocked out of me. The blood was flowing thickly out of my nose. A feeble gasp escaped my lips before I collapsed to the ground. No cold, strong arms broke my fall. My mind blanked out as I heard growls. Then something icy pressed against my bleeding nose and I felt fire pierce my brain. My eyes snapped open just as Jasper's wild face was torn from mine.
Another fit of pain washed through me, forcing me unconscious, though I could hear harsh snarls through the deep water. Through the pain I could smell blood. It's rusty salt smell making me gag until I went limp.
I couldn't see, hear, or smell anything around me, but I could feel. I could feel the pain that was white-hot and ice-cold at the same time. I could feel my feeble heart's desperate beat. The faint rise and fall of my chest with one lung keeping me alive.
The pain wasn't controlling my body; It was controlling my mind. My body was fighting against it and I could hear the war going on inside. It changed the world from ivory to ebony...white to black…and back again…shifting...shifting...always shifting…
The monster inside me tore at any available thing. Fire and ice seared together through my veins. The monster was winning, but I was still deep down somewhere, the monster pushing me farther and farther within. My memories burned themselves out of my mind. Tears receded to my body in crashing waves. No, not my body, Its.
ITs body.
I was not a monster, It was. But the monster was trapped inside me. Controlling me, the real Bella.
"But we are one now!" a voice sneered, a voice in my mind.
"NO!" I screamed hysterically. I didn't want to go. Didn't want to be a monster. Not a monster. No…
"Yes! You are I and I am you! I promise you I will make your life a living hell!"
"No..." was my feeble response. But I was losing. I gave into defeat.
My heart beat for its last time as I let old Bella slip away…

You like? It was fun writing this chapter but it was hard to describe the pain. Do you think I described it well enough? If not, explain what could have made it better.
