A/N: Alright, so I didn't do a disclaimer before, but obviously Twilight, and all it's amazing characters belong to none other than Stephanie Meyer. I kind of like this chapter, because it's the reunion and all post-transformation. Oh, and the majority of the rest of this fic will be in Bella and Edward's POV, but I might mix it up a little. Okay, so review! Oh and thanks to those who reviewed last time: zuzuviolence and WakeMeUpWhenItsTimeToGoToSleep. Keep it up!

The pain had stopped. At first I had thought I had just become immune to the never-ending fire that spread through my veins, but it made sense that the pain had to actually stop at some point. I opened my eyes to assess my surroundings, and was a bit overwhelmed to find seven faces staring at me almost expectantly. They seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember exactly why. I scanned over each one searching for someone who I knew, my eyes passing over a large, grinning man who had his arms wrapped around a beautiful blond woman with a scowl on her face. My gaze then went to the couple in the corner of the room; a handsome blond man who appeared a bit older (though not by much) than the others, and a woman with kind eyes and flowing brown hair. My eyes then darted to the rather jumpy girl with short spiky hair and the much calmer blond male at her side. Then my sight finally settled on the last face in the room, which happened to be attached to a body that was lying down next to me and embracing my own. I squirmed in his grasp, and tried to get a better look at him. A mess of bronze hair sat atop his head, with a few pieces drifting over his vibrant golden eyes which held a look of concern that seemed out of place above his shining smile. That crooked smile was the most familiar thing I'd seen so far. I closed my eyes for a moment struggling to remember the name that was attached to it, but a cool hand cupped my chin and lifted my face upwards. The golden eyes met my own once more, and suddenly memories of this man flooded back to me, which was more than I could say for the others.

"Edward?" I prompted. His eyes lit up as soon as the barely whispered name left me mouth. He nodded, his grin growing even larger and his pools of gold brightened as they filled with relief. I didn't understand why, but he pulled me in to a tight embrace. The others in the room all placed small smirks on their faces, and filed out of the door. When Edward finally pulled away, I looked at him with a questioning look. "Who were they?"

A hint of concern reached his eyes once more, but his gentle smile never fell. "That's our family Bella. You don't remember?" he asked, his dark eyebrows knitting together. I closed my eyes once more and searched through my mind for something I could present about them, but all I saw was Arizona, my house in Forks, then Biology class, and then Edward and I together on numerous occasions. None of those memories included the family which had just been so concerned for my well being. I looked up towards Edward's patient eyes and meekly shook my head in response. I looked away in shame and expected my cheeks to grow warm as they always do, but my skin remained cool. "Do you remember what happened Bella? Why you're here?" he calmly asked in a smooth, gentle voice. His hand absentmindedly traced over the scar I noticed on my own. I lifted the scar towards my face, inspecting the crescent shaped mark, and then suddenly my eyes clenched shut and my hands tightened into fists as flashes of memory flooded my mind.

He squatted down in front of me, a sick smile across his face and tilted his head a little examining the broken mirror behind me. "That's a very nice effect," he said. "I thought this room would be visually dramatic for my little film. That's why I picked this place to meet you. It's perfect, isn't it?

The memory disappeared, and a more painful one took its place.

A set of teeth sunk in to my hand, adding more pain than before, but the teeth were ripped away. Unfortunately, the burning that followed was worse than any bite could have been.

I peeled open my eyes, nauseous from reliving the experience, and Edward pulled me towards him cooing gently. I didn't even release how jagged my breath had become until he told me to take deep breaths. I hid my face in his strong chest. So, I was a vampire. I'd never see my family again...

I tightened my embrace around Bella as her tearless sobs echoed through my chest. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think she just realized what happened. I'm just glad that the physical pain is over. I thought I'd kill somebody after staying by her side while she screamed in anguish and writhed in pain. I shook my head to clear away the angry thoughts. Bella was alive, and she was here with me now; that's all that matters. Bella stopped shaking and I pulled away a little and tilted my head down watched her face for some sort of explanation, but I didn't have to search long because she spoke willingly.

"I'm sorry," she said shaking her head. She's sorry?? Why in the world is she sorry? "I didn't mean to freak out like that, it's just…I remember now. James, the pain…"she grimaced. She raised her gaze to me and even though it wasn't the first time I'd seen them, her newly darkened eyes shocked me. "James…"she started. "Is he dead?"

I nodded. "Don't worry, James is taken care of," I said. I decided it was better not to tell Bella about the wolves or Jacob yet. She didn't seem to remember them, and besides she had a lot to think about right now. A grim smile appeared on her face and she nodded in relief.

"Edward…"

"Yes, love?"

"I'm thirsty." Her statement made me nervous. I knew that she trusted me to keep her from doing anything she'd regret, but I secretly dreaded leaving the house. She was a newborn, and who knows what sort of power she has up her sleeve. I sat up on the bed and folded my hands together.

"Okay," I started cautiously. "We can go hunting together soon. But first, I think you should get some practice in attacking. I'm sure everyone would love to help." I was hoping that by spending time with the Cullens and Hales, Bella would remember more about them. I looked back to where her head still lay, and she seemed anxious about the thought of being with the others but agreed. I smiled and pulled Bella up to a sitting position with me. "You don't have to be nervous, love. I'll be by your side at all times. Nothing will happen to you," I promised. She looked at me and smiled, and then did something that surprised considering the circumstances. She leaned in and gently pressed her cool lips against my own, almost urgently. I reciprocated the action after recovering from the shock, but as quickly as she had initiated the kiss, she pulled away. I sighed and looked up puzzled.

"Someone's here," she said matter-of-factly. I raised my eyebrows in surprise and then sure enough three taps were placed on the door.

"Yes?" I asked, not masking the shock in my voice. The door opened and an excited as always Alice bounced in.

"Tonight will be a good night to practice, because there's a storm coming!" she exclaimed. Pesky psychics...
