Alright, here is the 5th chapter. It's really long, but I couldn't stop! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, that is why I'm posting on FanFiction, because I'm a fan. This accounts for the entire story as well.

Chapter 5: Preparation

Carlisle took us into his office to explain the finer details.

"We're going to cross the treaty line and use the Quileutes campfire. It won't be hot enough or an even temperature by yourself so we'll be encasing you in a metal case, Jasper's building it right now. There'll be a thermometer attached to measure the temperature and we'll watch you and make sure you don't burn."

"Why do we have to do it across the treaty line?" Rose asked.

"They have the biggest campfire we could find. I asked Sam who very graciously agreed."

Rose made a face of distaste; she didn't want to be changed surrounded by dogs.

"Now," continued Carlisle, "it won't hurt at first, but as your flesh changes and becomes weaker it will probably be excruciating. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about that. Your skin is too tough to put morphine in now and we can't remove you halfway because you'll be stuck as a half-human, half-vampire."

Rosalie nodded. She could handle pain; she still remembered it from that night in Rochester.

"As this has-"

"Hold on," I butted in. "What if it doesn't work?"

"Then Rosalie will simply spend a whole in the fire. Nothing will happen."

"But what if we can't tell when she needs to be taken out?"

"Don't worry Emmett, there will be 5 people with her the entire time."

I went to say something else, but Rosalie put her hand on me. "It's okay Em," she said.

I sat back and motioned for Carlisle to continue.

"As this has never happened before, we don't know what will happen to you after. When you became a vampire you kept some of your really strong human memories, but they were blurry. We don't know if you'll keep your vampire memories or not. Vampire memories are much clearer and I'm not sure your human brain will be able to handle it."

"And if it can't?" Rose asked.

"We might have to wipe your memory."

Rose looked at me and I knew she was thinking the same thing as I was; all our memories gone; all those years of repeating high school again and again and again; all of our hunting trips; all of our highs and lows; all of our life together; gone.

She tore her gaze away from me and looked back at Carlisle.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"How soon can it happen?" Rosalie asked.

"Whenever you're ready. Now, if you want," replied Carlisle.

"In one hour then."

So soon? I thought. Okay then, one hour. One hour with me left. And I knew exactly what we were going to do.

* * *

Rosalie and I sat at the top of a mountain, enjoying the view and the fresh air. It was nearly time to go to La Push. There was no human scent here; it was miles off the track. Rose lay in my arms, humming the tune to a song I didn't know. I looked down at her.

"Time to go," I said.

"Mmm…"

Rose got up and got dressed. I followed.

We ran down through the forest.

"I'll miss being able to run so fast." Rose commented.

"Maybe you won't remember." I said.

"Don't say that Em."

"Maybe you won't though."

We made it back to our house in 10 minutes.

Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Bella and Nessie all seemed to have already left. Edward was loading up my Jeep with things, not that we'd need much. Nessie would be staying at Jacobs house but the rest of us wouldn't need anything.

I had a look at what he'd packed. A big metal box that looked similar to a casket was taking up most of the room. I noticed it was exactly 3 centimetres bigger than Rose and had a thermometer attached to it that read 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

"Is that for me?" Rose murmured to me.

"Guess so. Looks comfy doesn't it?" I said sarcastically.

"Mmm," she agreed.

The other room in the car was filled with some clothes and things for Nessie. Not that she didn't have anything at Jacob's house. Half of his room was filled with her stuff. The pack didn't mind if she crossed the line.

How long are we going to be there? I asked Edward.

"We're not sure," he replied.

I went to get into my Jeep.

"Sure." Edward said behind me. I looked at him with a questioning expression on my face.

"I'm taking my M3." Rose answered.

I got into my Jeep and Edward got in the other side.

"Drive slow," he said.

Why?

"Rosalie wants to take her car for a last spin and I told her we'd take it slow."

I drove the car out of the driveway at 80 and only went to 100 on the road.

"Bit faster than that." Edward murmured to himself, so low I almost couldn't here it.

I notched the speed up to 120. I thought of how fast Rose would be going right now.

"She planned to try and break 300."

That'd be my Rose.

We reached the treaty line where Carlisle was waiting for us. Edward jumped out.

"Why?" He said to Carlisle.

"But it's not like our cars are going to do anything." He was having one of those infuriating conversations where you could only here Edward's side. It was like listening to a phone conversation.

"Fine. I just think it's unnecessary."

Edward!

"We're not allowed cars," he answered.

"Why?"

He shrugged.

We made our way on foot to the campfire. Jacob was there with Sam and Seth, setting up the fire. Nessie was climbing trees.

"Hey Seth, Sam, Jacob." Edward greeted.

I murmured a quiet greeting at each of them. There was a strong truce between us now, thanks to Nessie, but I still couldn't be as courteous as Edward was.

"Thanks for this Sam." Edward said. Sam nodded at him and I guessed he felt similar to me.

Alice came running out from somewhere then.

"Ah, yes. Thanks Alice!" Edward ran off.

"Rose doesn't know about the no car rule," she explained.

Nessie called in the distance for Jacob and Jacob looked up with longing.

"You go," Sam said.

Jacob ran off to her.

Alice had gone back to where she'd come from before and Seth had gone to get some more wood. Sam and I were left by ourselves.

"Uh…" I tried to think of a conversation starter. "Would you like some help with that?" I asked, pointing to the fire he was preparing.

"No thank you."

I sat there in silence. It was weird being so close to a werewolf and not ripping, or trying to rip, his head off. It was similar to the sensation I'd had when I first started high school as a vampire. We were meant to destroy them, yet we didn't.

Rose turned up on foot with Edward. Her hair was windswept and she looked beautiful.

She came and sat next to me, watching the preparations Edward and Sam were doing. When they got the actual fire started I started to feel nervous. These were my last moments with Rose.

I looked at her and found she was already looking at me. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity, yet not even a second.

"Emmett? Rose?" I was vaguely aware of someone saying my name. Wait, was it my name or not?

"Emmett?" I think that was my name, although honestly I didn't care. I was happy staring into Rose's eyes.

"Rosalie?" That rang a bell. Rosalie, perfect Rosalie.

"Em?! Rose?! Wakey wakey!" That was stupid. We couldn't sleep, so how could we wake up?

"ROSALIE!"

"Yes." I answered back breathlessly. They were saying exactly what I was thinking. Then, realising my mistake, I came to my senses. With more effort than humanely possible I tore my eyes away from Rose's and looked at the crowd gathered around us and the fire blazing in the background.

"Rose, it's time." Esme said sweetly.

Rosalie got up and talked to Carlisle about what exactly she'd have to do. I sat there, realising that she was actually going to do this. I think I'd felt that somehow she wasn't going to go through with it; that eventually she'd pull out; that she'd stay with me. Watching her now talking without hesitation I knew she'd go all the way, never mind the danger to herself.

Edward brought out the metal case that would be Rosalie's home for the next couple of days. Rosalie glanced at me before checking out the case and asking Carlisle some questions. Everyone kept away from me.

Nessie was on Jacob's shoulders, she looked close to tears. Esme was talking to Edward with a worried look in her face. Bella was standing next to Alice and Jasper was checking the fire with Sam. Seth had left, or not come back. I didn't know. Esme came over to me.

"Come on Emmett," she said. "You need to say goodbye. You need to be strong." Strong. I could be strong.

I got up and went over to Rose. She smiled when I joined her and I smiled back.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too." I replied, my voice breaking.

She kissed me passionately and got into the metal case.

Edward and Jasper put it into the fire.

"Goodbye." I whispered and my eyes pricked.

Nessie was crying in Jacob's arms now. Esme was sobbing into Carlisle's chest and Bella had joined Edward.

I sat back down and watched the flames; I sat there for days I think. I didn't move, or think, or talk. I just sat there.

Until she started screaming.

So how was that? Next chapter will be from Rose's POV. Please review and tell me what you thought! Was it too long?
