I stared at the girl, confused about where she came from. She didn't look like she had been in the woods for a while. She had no scratches, nothing wrong. She was wearing a nice shirt and jeans. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail. She looked vaguely familiar.
"Hi, sweetie. Are you lost?" I asked her in my sing song voice.
"No. not really. I found who I was looking for."
"Who me?" I asked her. Why would she be looking for me? "Where are your parents?"
"Your friends just killed them."
That's why she looked familiar. She was the kid of Henry and Elizabeth. I started to back away slowly. I had no clue how a child vampire acts.
"My parents were going to give me leftovers, but I guess I'll get the first bite." She sneered and jumped at me. I screamed. Jake came back, but it was too late. I had been bit. Leah jumped out and attacked the girl before anymore blood could be taken.
My hand burned. I screamed even louder. Jake took out his phone. He talked for a minute, then hung up. He looked down at me, tears in his eyes. "Bella, I'm so sorry. I never should have left you." All I could do in response was scream.
Suddenly, the Cullens came running towards me. Edward came by my side and grabbed my hand. Carlisle started examining the bite. Alice was sobbing, and Esme and Rosalie were trying to comfort her. Jasper was a good distance away, trying to control himself, the smell of my blood obviously enticing him. Emmett was yelling at Jake, telling him this was all his fault.
Carlisle suddenly stepped back. "We're too late. Nothing can be done. Bella is transforming now, whether we like it or not."
"No!" Edward yelled. He looked at me in despair. I tried to tell him it was all right, but I was having trouble shutting up. At least now Rosalie couldn't hate me. I didn't choose for it to happen. "I'm so sorry love. This shouldn't have happened. It's all my fault."
I pushed myself up, struggling against the pain. "No. It's. Not."
