Chapter 5 – Awakening

Where am I? Is this heaven? I can't open my eyes. Thankfully the fire had died down. Now it's only a numb pain at the back of my throat. I could easily ignore it. I think I might have been moved from wherever I was. What time is it? It feels like a year has passed. Are my friends ok? Who was that woman?

I was beginning to feel antsy. I couldn't move from this spot. URGH… If this is heaven then I want my money back. It sucks. "It's about time. They should wake up soon" I heard a man's voice that was smooth and velvety. I still prefer Edward's voice though. Ahh…Edward. Is he in heaven too? The woman got him right?

"You can open your eyes now, Isabella." How'd he know my name? Now that he mentioned it, I could feel my arms and legs again. My eyes flew open instantly and saw an angel standing before me. Hey it is heaven! I looked around and saw my friends laying on the ground slowly moving, opening their eyes. They were all blood red like the woman's eyes.

All of them looked different. Even more perfect if that was even possible. Especially Edward. He was perfection personified. I blushed as he stared at me. My mind wandered to my eyesight which seemed to have improved ten folds. I could see dust particles floating around. Wow. I must have been blind before. I could see everything clearly. I refocused on my friends who also must have discovered the perks of heaven as they looked at everything in wonder. This didn't look like heaven though. It looked like an old house that had been abandoned centuries ago.

The woman from before stood at the doorway smiling smugly. "Daniel give them the run down of everything I'm going to check on the others." The angel, apparently his name was Daniel nodded and cleared his throat grabbing all of our attention. From the corner of my eyes I saw Edward frowning, like he had a headache. Hmm.. I felt absolutely fine. Come to think of it, all my bruises had been healed and now I had flawless skin too.

Then Daniel spoke, "I know this is all new to you but we have to do this quickly. We don't have much time. You guys have been changed to vampires." He said it like he was talking about the weather. We all looked at him, bewildered. Was this guy insane?! Vampires don't exist! "That's ridiculous! Is this some kind of joke?" He smiled sadly and shook his head, handing me a mirror. Perplexed, I looked into it and gasped. That woman staring back at me couldn't possibly be me. She had gorgeous chesnut hair that hung in loose curls which framed her heart shaped face perfectly and curves in her body that I never had. However, her eyes weren't red like the others. They were like pools of chocolate that shone in amazement.

My eyes…They're not red..

"Yes. You seem to be the only one. You might have great powers." Daniel said wistfully as though reading my thoughts.

Looking at our confused faces, he continued..

So Daniel, explained to us everything about vampires. Eventually we believed him. Edward was the first. He didn't talk at all. He just observed all of us but looked slightly frustrated when he glanced at me. What did I do?

Daniel also told us that the woman from before was Victoria. She was planning on taking out the Volturi because they killed her mate. We were all outraged at this. She took away our lives and gave us this woebegone life just for revenge? What the fuck?( I can't really complain. This life was probably better than living in a closet, constantly getting beat up by Charlie.) She must be mentally unstable! He also said that she wanted vampires to rule the world or some shit. I would have left when I had the chance but I knew I was "hungry" as Daniel called it. I might harm some other innocent people and I wasn't going to do that.

No one dared to talk. If we planned our escape now, Victoria was sure to hear with her super vampire ears. They were going to take us hunting soon. I guess we could plan then. They told us to survive on animal blood for now if we hunted on humans half the town would be gone. The Volturi might come to investigate.

So that's where all the missing students went. About 10 were already gone before we were changed.

"Why Forks!? Why us?" Rosalie asked harshly.

"Forks was where James lived his whole life and was killed here. Victoria thought it would be appropriate" Daniel said darkly. James was actually a human when Victoria fell in love with him. He knew too much about vampires so the Volturi ripped him to shreds. Now their building a freaking vampire army?! "The reason why we chose you is because I've observed everyone in this town and you people are the most promising. All of you probably have a power. We'll develop it later."

It's official. They were completely nuts.

"We don't want to live in secret anymore. Why should the vampires go in hiding when we're so much stronger than those pesky humans? We shouldn't be afraid at all!" Daniel continued. It obviously was a sore topic.

"Their back. We can go hunting now." He said guiding us out into the forest that was beside the run down house.

"Why can't we meet the others?" Jasper inquired. Yea..Why couldn't we meet them? We were all vampires anyway.

"You'll meet them after hunting. We're afraid you guys might attack them. All of you are stronger since your newborns" Daniel replied.

"Psssh! I couldn't hurt a fly!" Emmett chortled. "See?" He then punched a tree lightly which burst into a million splinters. "Oh."

Daniel chuckled and brought us deeper into the forest.

AN- LaLaLaLa...It'll be great if you guys reviewed? =D
