I do not own any of the characters or any aspect of the twilight saga, Stephanie Meyer does, who is awesome; this is just for recreational purposes.
Sorry it took me so long to update but I had a severe case of writers block, lol. Although I think it was worth the wait if I do say so myself, . Please enjoy and review!
What am I?- Chapter 2: I bet you never saw an exploding vampire.
The pain...
Nothing but the pain...
Just excruciating...agonising... unbearable pain.
Indescribable.
Finally I was sort of aware of my surroundings. I began to wonder. How long had it been? Where was Edward? Where was I? What was I?
Then Edward, it had to be, no one else's voice could be so perfect, spoke.
"Bella? Bella can you hear me? Oh, what kind of a monster am I?" he asked, tortured.
Then another voice answered a high tinkling sound. "You're not a monster Edward. You are stupid though".
Alice.
"Alice can't you see anything!? Anything at all!? " Edward said, it sounded like he would sob if he could.
Alice sighed. There was silence and then she let out a cry of frustration.
"It's too hard, I see her briefly and then everything fades out of focus."
"Well what could you see?" Edwards's anger came across through the words.
"Well, she looks normal, normal for a vampire anyway," Alice added.
Once again silence.
"You probably can't see her properly because that dog has infected her," Edward answered her thoughts I assumed. When he said the word dog so much hate coursed through the word. He meant Jacob, of course he meant Jacob, I mean look at what he had done.
I finally understood Edward's reluctance to change me. I wasn't ready for this. In fact, before I knew what I was going to be. A vampire. Strong and beautiful.
Now what would I be? A half vampire, half werewolf hybrid?
Then the pain withdrew from my fingers and toes. The relief was overwhelming, knowing that the pain was retracting, however slowly.
Hours past, the pain died back, creeping slowly towards my heart. My heart beat got faster until it was as fast as a hummingbird's, and then, nothing.
I took a moment appreciate the lack of pain, then I rose and opened my eyes, I was aware that I had done so in less than half a second.
In front me was Edward, my angel, my world, my heart.
I was finally able to take in the beauty of his face completely; I was overwhelmed by the urge I had to kiss him fiercely. Unfortunately though there were more pressing matters to attend to.
"Bella," His voice was filled with both relief and fear.
The rest of the family stood before me after Edward had spoken, they were all so beautiful, I mean they were beautiful to me when I was human but just....wow.
Was human. That was going to take some getting used to.
Edward started to tentatively step towards me, Jasper and Emmett put their hands on either of Edward's shoulders to hold him back, but he shrugged them off and continued towards me.
"Edward," Jasper warned," I don't really think you should risk it". I looked to Jasper to see that he was cover in crescent shaped scars, I looked to my own, the crescent on my hand was luminous, I tore my eyes away.
"Risk?" I asked. Then I gasped, was that my voice!? It was so, for lack of a better word, pretty.
I looked to their faces, each terrified for Edward.
"Um, seriously guys I feel fine, I won't...attack you guys or anything." I insisted.
After a lot of persuasion my family accepted that I wasn't about to attack anyone anytime soon.
A relieved Edward strode across the room and scooped me into his arms and kissed me, it was the best thing I had ever experienced. All too soon, he stopped, he looked confused.
"Bella, you're hot!" Edward said, eyes wide.
"Well, why is that such a shock?" I said taken aback," Aren't people supposed to be more attractive when they turn into a vampire? I mean I know I wasn't very pretty when I was human, but-"
"Bella how many times do I have to tell you? You're beautiful in any way shape or form, human or not! But that's not what I meant, you're hot, you feel hot, well warm....like a human". He replied.
"Huh, what's that about?" Alice asked.
Carlisle stepped forward, "Well, I'm guessing that because Bella has both Vampire and Werewolf-"
Edward growled.
"-Genes in her, the Extreme cold of a Vampire and the intense heat of a werewolf have cancelled each other out to create a human temperature".
Edward was in awe, he stroked my cheek and I was pleased to note that it still sent a thrill through my whole being.
After Alice showing me how "awesome" I looked, Jaspers continuous questioning as to why I wasn't tearing their heads off right now, Carlisle examining me to see if I had any other "wolfy" qualities and Alice and Rosalie, (incidentally Rosalie seemed to be acting much more warmly to me since my transformation) whisking me away for an emergency fashion meeting as Alice called it, Edward suggested that we go hunting.
We hunted for hours on end, was less unpleasant than I thought it would be, especially as I felt that I needed to do absolutely anything to quench my burning thirst.
The time I spent alone with Edward was interesting, to say the least.
We spent the night in a cottage designed by Esme, she was going to give it to us after the wedding, but, well I guess we needed it now.
The next day Edward and I raced back the Cullen house to find Jacob Black confronting the whole family.
"Bella! Are you ok!? I'm so sorry I was just stupid and desperate and reckless! I'm so sorry!" Jacob yelled to me, although with my new enhanced hearing I would have heard him if he whispered.
Jasper was holding Jacob back; he was trying to get to me.
Edward was seething, "filthy mongrel!" he cried, but before he could get anywhere near Jacob Emmett had grabbed him.
The two were struggling to escape their holder's grip, Edward was growling and Jacob was shouting curse words.
Alice rolled her eyes and put her hands over her ears.
"Stop!" I yelled, even when shouting my voice was beautiful, wait, no time to be vain Bella!
There was silence, everyone turned to look at me.
"Jacob, don't worry its okay, your werewolf bite didn't affect me at all except make me warmer, I forgive you." I said calmly.
Jacob looked relieved, but was that a flicker of disappointment across his face?
"Besides, why do you care so much about a blood sucker anyway?" I said, mocking him.
"You're not an ordinary blood sucker, unlike the rest of these pieces of scum!" As soon as he said it I could tell that he regretted it. Although that didn't matter to me.
I just stood there, feeling so angry that it was indescribable. How dare he!? How dare he insult my family? He doesn't even know how kind and loving they are. How can he say that he loves me if he can't even accept the people closest to my heart?
Before I knew what I was doing I was crossing over to Jacob, I was there in under a second. Nobody dared stop me, knowing that I would just push them aside with my newborn strength. Jasper backed away, crossing to Alice to protect her, which was just pointless because she wasn't to one I wanted.
"Jacob Black, why are you doing this to me?"
I was so livid.
"I just forgave you for trying to turn me and you insult us!"
I was screaming at him like I'd never done to anyone before, damn these vampire mood swings.
"Who do you think you are?"
No wait this was more than just a vampire mood swing, I could tell, I mean I was practically trembling.
"I know who you are; you're just some annoying little boy who doesn't want me to be happy unless he is!
No, I was actually trembling, fiercely, what the heck was going on?
"Well I'll tell you something Jacob, if you ever come near me or my family again, I'll...."
Oh no.
"....I'll".
"Bella?" I heard Edward ask, terrified for me.
Then it happened.
I felt my clothes rip off me as my whole being expanded. Then it was as if my body was ripped open, fur exploding out from inside me. Then I stood there, on four legs, as tall as a horse but of course not. I knew what I was.
A werewolf.
I just didn't know what to do so I let my instincts take over, and I ran into the deepest part of the forest, so I could do something about this.
