Chapter 8 - A Change of Diet - BPOV -
It has been a 6 months since I have awaken to my new life, my new beginning. I was so frightened at first, but once my beloved explained we would be together forever then that is all I need and what ever else happens is just a luxury. Our new companion was very nice, Dr Carlisle Cullen, he amazes me, how he can tolerate so much blood when a person is dies and still help them. He makes me want to be a better person and try his different lifestyle. He is the father figure that I do not have any more, I remember when he took me and Edward out for our first Hunt, we have been trying to hunt not as often now but still being careful to make sure we don't slip.
- Flashback -
"Welcome to the family, Bella, Edward, we must go and hunt now. There is to much of a danger for someone to recognise Yourself or Edward so we will be moving as soon as we have come back from hunting. I will need to make some quick errands to the hospital to hand in my resignation and then we can head off" Edward squeezed my hand in reassurance and told me it was going to be ok. I liked the Idea of a vegetarian diet, I don't think I could forgive myself if I killed an innocent person. All I could think about is what if it was a Mother's child, Husband, Wife. No I would not do that to someone and I knew Edward and Carlisle will help me. Edward had already told me that he was willing to give this lifestyle a go and all he wanted was to make me happy. As we walked out the door Carlisle lead us north toward the Forest. I was amazed at how fast we could go and still not miss any piece of information. I found that Edward was much fast that Carlisle which he explained was because of the newborn fact and also how some people bring across special features of when they were human. We came to a stop and was told to close our eyes, He then told us to open our ears and listen very closely. Once we had discovered that there was 5 deer's about 500 meters from us he then told us just to relax and let our hunting instincts take over. Which did not take long, At first when he told us about hunting I was mortified at the thought of drinking blood, but I understand now how nice and relaxing it tastes
- End of Flashback-
We now live in Wisconsin in a small 2 bedroom house. Carlisle took the first 6 months off after he turned us just to make sure we fit in, and is about to start his new Job at the hospital In two weeks on the Monday. He takes every very slowly just in case we slip but I can tell it's getting on Edward's nerves as all he wants to do is go out and finish his schooling. I don't mind that much, Every afternoon Edward gives me a lesson on how to play the piano, I am making very slow progress but he is patient with me. We also have started learning Italian since that is where the Voltaire live and if for any chance we had to go their Carlisle wanted us to understand and be able to speak for ourselves. I am slowly getting use to not having to go through all the routine human moments, and I am very grateful for that. No have to eat every few hours, or have to sleep at night. There is so much we can do and learn now that we don't have to sleep, We are constantly either learning or reading. I worry about Edward sometimes, the first month was the toughest for him, to accept his parents deaths and also have to understand that in 50 years time all the people we once knew will be dead if not earlier Carlisle explained to us that soon we will be able to go back to school once we have full masted how to cope being around humans without ripping their heads off and drinking their blood. We have two weeks to learn about how to be human again, before starting school. We decided that is would be best fo Edward and myself to redo a year of schooling before moving onto the final year since we do not remember much and don't want to fall behind.
We are sitting in the living room after coming back from a hunt when Carlisle walks in smiling. "Now, I think it is time we start on some helpful lessons on fitting in when you go to school. I know it has not been long since the both of you have been human but when you transformed you stop simple habits that humans will notice. The first thing I will teach is your strength, You both have mostly already gotten use to this and can open a door or cupboard without ripping it off it's hinges but shaking a humans hand or giving a hug is something else altogether. I want both of you to walk up to me in Human speed, Introduce you selves and shake my hand or give me a quick friendly hug." I start to feel a bit nervous, Edward was more in control with his strength than I was, hence why he is always telling me to relax a little when giving him a hug to tightly. If I hurt him when hugging him at vampire strength, then how am I going to go doing it at human strength to Carlisle. Edward senses my panic as I start to freeze up but gives me a little hug and helps me up. Edward walks over first over towards Carlisle, and gives a little smile goes to shake his hand while introducing himself "Hi, My name Edward Cullen It is nice to meet you." Carlisle smiles and steps back. "Good, your strength on your hand shake is very good but you need to work on your speed walking over here. Try again" After another 20 tries and a frustrated Edward he finally gets it to Carlisle satisfaction and turns to me for my turn. After another two hours later I too make it to satisfaction, I must say it is so frustration to not be able to do something so simple as walk across the room and shake someone's hand before. I mean I was Human only six months before and now I can't do something as simple as that. The days past during the week with more lessons, some as simple as subtle movements like blinking, breathing, or well pretending to breath since we will not be when we first start school just in case and Switching legs when standing which made me feel really silly. It was the day before we start school and we just came back from taking a walk in town to test how well we will do tomorrow. To say I was nervous was an understatement but being to amazing person he was Edward comforted me and reassured me that I will do fine. Him and his amazing will power to be able to adapted so quickly to this new lifestyle. He told me that he believes in me and no matter if I or him slip that Carlisle will move without being upset as that is what family is for. "I love you Bella, With all my heart. Try not to worry as I will be with you the hole time." He gives me one of those crocked smiles and we walk out the door to hunt one last time before school.
