Hi ya! Sorry it took me so long to update. I couldn't figure out where to start. Then I wrote it, went to bed and knew it wasn't good enough for you guys yet (not to mention long enough! Only 687 words!). So I planned to edit it this morning but my mum took me to this thingy and we were out for most of today! I came home and edited it, added a couple of paragraphs, fixed up mistakes and finally! Here it is! Enjoy!


Chapter 6: Heat

Rosalie's POV

This was it. I was actually going to be human again! I watched Edward bring out the metal box I was going to live in for the next few days, or weeks. I glanced at Emmett. This had to be hard on him. We both knew, though we hadn't talked about it, that I wouldn't be able to stay with the Cullens after I was changed and though it broke my non-beating heart, I had to leave.

I pushed that out of my mind and focused on checking out the metal box.

"It doesn't look very comfortable." I remarked.

"Esme wanted to pad it but the material with just burn and make the box smoky. Once you're human you'll need all the oxygen you can get and upholstery smoke isn't going to help that." Carlisle replied.

I noticed there were holes in the top.

"What are the holes for?" I asked Carlisle.

"To let smoke out."

"But you just said…?" I trailed off, knowing he'd understand my confusion.

"We tried to reduce the smoke by not putting in comfort but we're not going to make you take your clothes off."

"Ah." Thank you.

I saw Esme go over to Emmett and murmur something to him. He got up and came over to me. I smiled at him and he smiled back, but it was a sad smile.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too," he replied and his voice broke. This was goodbye.

I kissed him and got into the box Edward was holding out for me. I couldn't see anything but black when Edward shut the opening and it got hot when he and Jasper placed me in the fire but it wasn't too uncomfortable. Yet. I could feel the heat building though. It was different to being changed into a vampire. That fire was sudden. I could feel it spreading through my veins and I could trace the fire. Pay attention to it. I knew this would be different, possibly even more painful than the first time. I could, I would handle it though. I finally had a chance to be human again and I would not blow it. The smoke from my already burning clothes was tortuous and I was glad Jasper had added the holes.

I thought of my last days with Emmett as a distraction. The times we just sat in the trees, looking at the view. That last hour we spent together on the mountain. I thought through all of our life, day by day. My perfect vampire memory remembered every second. I remember laughing at Emmett when he was a newborn. He was so strong! I lay there for hours, or perhaps days, going over my life and hoping I would remember it.

I remembered being frustrated and angry when Edward didn't follow me around like a lovesick puppy. I remembered the first time we met Alice. Boy, did she surprise us. I remembered saving Emmett from that bear. Emmett. I remembered Emmett. He had been my rock from the start. Whenever I got mad over something trivial, he'd made me see that. Whenever I needed comfort, he'd given it to me. Whenever I'd needed an actual rock, he'd gladly curl up in a ball and stay still for me. We'd had such fun times over the years. Knocking down those houses, knocking down those trees, knocking down Edward in a two-on-one fight. Going to high school again and again and again. Building papier-maches. Trying to hide something from Alice and Edward for a week. All those good times. I was swept away remembering them.

Then it started to get hot, too hot. I felt sweat trickle down my face from my forehead for the first time in 70 years. I pressed my fingers together and was shocked to find my flesh was soft. I dug my nail into my finger and it hurt.

Then something I had not expected happened. It felt like my veins were melting. Was this supposed to happen? Carlisle hadn't mentioned anything about it. Then again, no one knew what it'd be like. Then something occurred to me. Blood. The venom that went through my veins the first time dried it up, but maybe it didn't evaporate. Maybe it froze it. Now, the heat was melting it and the blood was coming back.

It started to get really hot. Unbearably hot. The melting in my veins had stopped now. It was too hot. I was burning. I started to scream. I wanted to get out. I had to get out or I'd die. My heart started to feel like it was melting. It hadn't started beating yet but I couldn't pay attention to what might be happening.

My heart thudded.

I could feel my flesh burning where it touched the metal and I screamed in agony. I could no longer hear the crackling of the flames and there was a light coming from the darkness.

This is it, I thought, I'm dead. I actually dead!

I couldn't hear much; it was like I was deaf. I couldn't hear much, but I could here something. I was alive. But was I human?

I was pulled out into the bright light. I stared around in confusion. It was so blurry. I tried to remember what happened but it hurt my brain. I could feel my heartbeat going.

"She's alive," said a voice I didn't recognise.

I tried to remember who that was, but it hurt too much. I swayed and collapsed.

"Rose? Rose?" said another unknown voice.

Then I was consumed by darkness.


So how was that? Please R+R! When I get reviews I get happy! When I'm happy, I write this story! Also I will be adding new people to the story (don't worry, it'll make sense) so people with good or consistent reviews can name a character!
