Preface
Takes place near the end of New Moon, Edward is asking her to marry him scene…
…"No way. Nineteen I'll do, but I'm not going anywhere near twenty. If you're staying in your teens forever, then so am I."
He thought for a minute. "All right. Forget time limits. If you want me to be the one- then you'll just have to meet one condition."
"Condition?" My voice went flat. "What condition?"
His eyes were cautious- he spoke slowly. "Marry me first."
I stared at him, waiting... "Okay. what's the punch line?"
He sighed. "You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke."
"Edward, please be serious".
"I am one hundred percent serious." He gazed at me with no hint of humor in is face.
"Oh, c'mon," I said, an edge of hysteria in my voice. "I'm only eighteen."
"Well, I'm nearly a hundred and ten. It's time I settled down."
I looked away, out the dark window, trying to control the panic before it gave me away.
"Look, Marriage isn't exactly that high on my list of priorities, you know? It was sort of the kiss of death for Renee and Charlie."
"Interesting choice of words."
"You know what I mean."
He inhaled deeply "Please, Bella?"
(n/b: this is where i start writing)
I stared at Edward with a blank expression and an open mouth as if I hadn't heard any of the past conversation and was brain dead. Ok so he was serious about wanting to marry me, so I suppose I have to give him a direct answer or something along those lines right? My mind was completely frozen, as I slowly put together the words of his sentences so that it made sense to my brain. I said the first thing that came to me.
"Um Ok."
"Ok… Ok as in yes as in you'll marry me and be with me forever?" said Edward; he was clearly a little surprised at my quick answer after all that rambling on about why I shouldn't marry him.
"Yes… yes I'll marry you Edward Cullen." By then I snapped back into reality realizing I was going to be Edwards's wife and had a huge grin on my face. He to smiled and bent his head down to kiss me until I pulled back at the last minute after going over the past conversation in my head.
"Wait, you said you'd change me, like right now if I said yes so…change me."
"Bella not n-" I glared at him and cut him off.
"Edward Cullen you said you'd change me right NOW if I agreed to marry you so change me damn it!" I whispered sternly. He looked at me expressionless for a second before smiling that crooked smile I love so much. He was propped up on top of me leaning on one hand when he bent down and gently kissed me on the lips for only a second. The other hand cupping my face, then moved my head gently to right so the left part of my neck was exposed. And before I could comprehend what he was doing I felt his inhumanly perfect teeth easily sink into the flesh of my neck.
I jolted and struggled against Edward for the pain wasn't like anything I've ever felt or could compare it to. Edward held me down and I felt his cold, hard skin under my nails as they were digging into his back trying to prevent me from screaming, still knowing that Charlie would wake if I did.
"Shh... I love you." Edward whispered into my ear trying to sooth me. He knew I wouldn't be able to hold my screams of pain for long so he scooped me up into his iron grip and flung us out the window obviously headed for his house.
This was it, Edward had bitten me, and I was finally going to become a vampire.

Alice, Rosalie and I as casually as possible, glided into a large room inside a huge town like Scottish castle, full of loud mostly older men, chugging down ales and ales of blood and celebrating the end of another day with their mates. The scene resembled a pub full of drunken middle aged and older men getting pissed after work before returning to their homes and partners but in this case it was a pub full of drunken looking vampire men getting pissed on blood and looking like losers. These men disgusted me; actually anyone in the Volturi disgusted me. So I tried not looking at them and turned my attention to the eye signals Alice and Rosalie were giving me from the opposite side of the room.
Rosalie was rubbing up against a tall, large man who was a guard to the large cage behind him. Rosalie's job was to distract him long enough to let Alice break the lock to the cage, and get the imprisoned vampires out into the hallway and into our truck waiting for us outside the castle walls.
Nothing we haven't done a hundred times before so this should be a piece of cake as long as we remain unsuspected so I was casually walking around the room, looking for any suspicious faces all the while glancing over at the girls at the cage every now and then, making sure everything was going according to plan.
After a while the guard Rosalie was distracting seemed to be getting a little bored with her, and slowly started turning to the cage behind him to check the prisoners. I could see Rosalie struggling to keep his attention on her, which slightly annoyed her because of course she thought she was the most stunning thing on the planet, and all men couldn't keep their eyes off her. So why shouldn't this old brute be any different?
Rosalie glanced over at me. I could see the panic forming on her face and it was a plea for me to take action. So I did. I chucked my shirt off, leaving me in a light blue not too revealing but sexy bra, black short shorts simply for comfort, and knee high black leather boots. As soon as the top came off I had attention of all the men in sight of me and had the attention of every man in the room. I stepped up onto the bar and strode across it crunching glasses, ash trays and anything in my way. I treated it like a cat walk, trying to distract everyone from the sight of the cage in the corner of the back of the room, but mostly trying to re-grab the attention of the guard who was about to spring Alice, who was not done yet with the lock..
My attempts did not go unnoticed by the guard, he turned back around to face me and grinned and cheered with all the other drooling old vampires of the Volturi. I looked at the guard and he gave a slimy grin from across the room. I thought he was disgusting but of course I couldn't show him that, so I gave him a cheeky smile back. Little did he know, by this time Alice had successfully open the cage door and was one by one signaling people from inside the cage to walk hastily around the walls over to Rosalie waiting for them at the door. None of the men heard anything over the sound of the cheers and the music, or saw anything while staring at me still strutting back and forth doing my 'cat walk'.
Alice raised her eyebrows to me at the door signaling for me to join them so to many men's disappointment, I put my shirt back on, hopped off the bar, and as casually as I walked in, I walked straight out.
Outside in the hall I joined Alice, Rosalie and a large group of newly turned vampires who had been shackled at the wrists as props for our escape plan.
"Good save." Rosalie said to me referring to my bar strutting two minutes ago. I winked at her then we all walked down the long halls until we came upon another guard blocking our door way to the outside of the castle. Alice took the lead of the group and stepped up to the guard.
"These prisoners have been requested by another Volturi covern house and this has been ordered by the leader of this covern house himself." Alice spoke fearlessly and with determination with an expression almost bored, like she would be glad to get this over with. It was clear she didn't want any trouble from this guard.
He looked at her suspiciously, so she flipped her short black hair to the left revealing a small tattoo of the letter V behind her right ear. He begrudgingly moved aside and let us through.
As soon as the doors of the magnificent Scottish castle (home to hundreds of Volturi members) closed, a large black shipping truck drove up and the doors at the back swung open. Rosalie and Alice helped the group of vampires into the back then Rosalie got in too. Alice joined me in the front seats where I pecked Edward on the cheek before he sped off away from the castle.
"How'd it go?" said Edward keeping his beautiful golden eyes on the road.
"Oh you know, touch and go there for about two seconds, but nothing us women couldn't handle." All three of us chuckled and Edward nodded with a smile. I noticed Alice in the corner of my eye rubbing off the fake tattoo of the V in annoyance. All of us hated wearing even a fake one of those hideous Vs, representing you as part of the Volturi.
"Can't wait to just get home n relax with Jaz." said Alice. I smiled and looked back at the road rapidly passing under the tires below us.
