I screamed. I screamed out of pain, for it was the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life. My body felt as though it was being slashed with a knife, as if it were on fire. Carlisle jabbed a thick needle into me, injecting something that I hoped would ease the unbearable feeling. I felt like I was being skinned alive.

I could feel my eyes turn red, and as I looked into Edwards eyes, I screamed even louder. His expression was the worst I had ever seen it. Like Jane was torturing him a thousand times worse than ever before. Emmett was holding me down on the couch, and I noticed the excited expression had disappeared from his face completely.

Alice was holding my hand, trying to explain everything was going to be alright. I could barely hear anything she was saying through my screeches and screams, however. Rosalie's hand was on my cheek, and surprised as I was, I couldn't get any words out. The pain was too much to bear.

Eventually, I realized what Carlisle had injected me with was morphine, and the awful, unbearable, burning sensation subsided slightly...but even then, it was the worst pain I had felt in my entire life.

For three days it went on like this. After the first, I realized the screaming wasn't accomplishing anything, so I stopped, though I let out a cry every time the morphine would wear off.

Once in a while, one of the Cullens would leave the room. Edward, however, stayed with me the entire time, the same look on his face for three days straight.

The three days felt like an eternity, though I could feel the pain slowly leaving my body after a while. I tried to sit up, but Emmett would hold me down. The pained expression slowly started to fade away from Edward's face, as well, when he noticed that everything was coming to an end.

Suddenly, with a final attempt to sit up, I broke through Emmett's hold. He gasped, surprised that I could. I looked all around the room, watching everyone's startled, but curious eyes as I slowly stood up.

"Emmett," I said, my voice oddly musical, "Arm wrestle. Let's go."

Emmett let out a booming laugh, and Edward smiled, happy that I remembered his challenge.

I won easily, all 5 tries. He eventually discovered that challenging me to a re-match was only making himself look more humiliated. He stormed off, upset that he was 'beaten by a girl'.

Alice came up to hug me and peck my cheek. Esme did the same. Jasper was finally able to hug me tightly, which I was glad he finally could do without thinking of killing me. Carlisle smiled, and Rosalie looked more upset than ever. Finally, Edward slowly walked up to me.

"Congratulations," he murmured, stroking my cheek, before he kissed me. I kissed him back, smiling as I did so because I couldn't feel the cold anymore.

Suddenly, I pulled away, an odd sensation coming over me. "I'm...thirsty," I declared, and everyone laughed. I had quite the surprised expression though, I'm sure. I couldn't believe what I'd just said.

Alice raced upstairs and came back down in a matter of three seconds, and offered me some blue contacts. I didn't realize what they were for until I looked in a mirror she handed me, and saw that my chocolate brown eyes were now the colour of Rosalie's red convertible.

"Purple eyes are better than red ones," Alice explained as I popped them onto my eyes.

Edward then took my hand, and we all went outside.

All the smells hit me like a woosh. I could smell things I never had before, like trees, gravel...even the different scents in the air. An old couple walked by and I could smell rust... and salt. The smell of blood. The smell that I detested with a passion. I one that usually made me pass out and vomit.

The entire family held onto me, scared I would jump the old people and suck their bodies dry. I, however, didn't even try to break their grasp. I didn't understand it. The blood still smelt unappetizing to me. Edward looked at me, and his frightened expression soon switched to confused. The rest of the family then realized what had happened, and stared at me with the same face.

"Bells..." Alice said carefully, "Why didn't you even- I mean, usually newborns can't even resist- how come you didn't try to-"

But Carlisle interrupted her, an intrigued look on his face."This," he explained, "is the most interesting thing I've ever witnessed."

The family let go of me, all still staring.

"I don't understand it either!" I exclaimed, still talking in that weird, musical voice. It sounded like a piano. "Why am I always such a freak? I was a human who married a vampire. I threw away my human life to become one. And now that I am, I don't even want to drink blood!"

I was surprised when there were no tears streaming down my face. I realized why soon after.

"You are not a freak," Edward contradicted. "This is actually wonderful. It makes all of our jobs much easier." He smiled his crooked smile, and I couldn't help but smile back.

We then walked into the forest. Ok, maybe I wasn't such a freak. As a big brown bear walked around, I felt my lip curl over my teeth, and a small growl escaped. Suddenly, I was ravenous. The family smiled at eachother, and backed off to let me make my first kill.

I walked slowly, closing in on it. As a branch cracked beneath my weight, the bear spotted me and tried to run. I was too quick, though, and I pounced on him before he could take a step. I sunk my new, shiny fangs into him and sucked out the delicious liquid that he was filled with.

When I was done, I turned around to my family. They all smiled, especially Edward. We all searched though the forest, feeding on the different types of bears and foxes. When everyone was done, I hadn't nearly had my fill. When I had killed many, many more animals, I was finally ready to go back. Emmett, still slightly upset about losing the arm-wrestling match, challenged me to a race back. I agreed, because I knew I couldn't run fast and I would probably trip a hundred times before making it back.

We started, and I felt like Edward must have picked me up or something because I was going faster than I ever had before. Plus, seeing as how my face didn't meet the dirt once, I couldn't have believed I was running with my own two feet. But when I saw the stone house beside me, I slowed down. I went to jump off of Edward's back, but I realized nobody was even close to me. So I really had been running! My clumsiness was finally gone!

I was just about to walk into the house when I saw a house cat prancing along the street. Venom filled my mouth, and before I thought about it, that cat was already dead and I was sucking the blood from it.

Huh. Guess they weren't kidding when they said I wouldn't be able to control myself.

(Ugh. Trust me, I didn't have fun describing what Bella felt as she was being changed. But that is what happened to her. On a lighter note, I have already wirtten a few more chapters but they don't cover what I want to in the story, so expect lots more. Also, keep reviewing and reading! I love all of my readers :) xoxo-L)
