Chapter 14

Bella's POV.

That morning I woke up I felt amazingly better.

Edward's arms were wrapped around me in a tight hug; I was no longer hot though.

My eyes fluttered as I looked up at my angel.

"Good morning beautiful, how are you feeling?"

His face looked tired for a vampire; his eyes were darker than usual.

"I feel a lot better. You, however, should go hunt. I'll be okay. Carlisle's here." I said tracing the purple lines under his eyes.

He looked worried for a moment then smiled and nodded. He kissed my forehead and ran off into the trees.

Carlisle checked my temperature yet again and said it was 99.4.

I was glad I didn't have such a high fever anymore. It made Edward too worried about me.

I decided since I must have looked horrible to go clean myself up a bit.

I asked Carlisle if it was okay to get up and actually be active, since I haven't walked around in the past three days, he said it would be okay as long as I didn't exhaust myself out.

I looked through my ripped-up suitcase for some usable clothes; most of them were ripped into shreds.

I finally decided on a bathing suit top and some shorts. It was always so hot on the island, even at night.

I knew my way to the waterfall on my own now. Edward and I went there many times after that first day he made me jump off the thing.

Edward hated when I went anywhere alone but I always assured him I can take care of myself.

When I got in the pond I swam around trying to get somewhat clean.

Being on an island with the two hottest men alive may have some perks, but having no soap is horrifying.

After I managed to get all the sand clumps out of my hair I put on my new top under the water, I knew nobody was around but I was still self conscience. After I was changed and fairly clean I waded around in the water awhile.

The sun was out hitting the water fall perfect again. The only thing to make this moment just right would be-

Cold arms wrapped around me making me scream bloody murder!

"Relax! It's me!" Edward said chuckling.

"How. Did. You. Get. In. The. Water so quietly…?" I asked between gasps of air.

He just laughed and picked me up out of the water.

"You shouldn't be in here, you might get sick again."

I rolled my eyes.

"Edward if you don't stop worrying about me you're going to go prematurely gray."

He laughed again while running towards the beach.

He rested me on the warm sand and hugged me.

His eyes were back to the warm topaz I loved and the circles under his eyes were gone. He looked happy and less worried. Good. He shouldn't worry about me.

"Bella," Edward started, "We need to get you off this island. It's taking a toll on your health, and you've lost about 10 pounds. You're too skinny."

I blushed, he was right. I have lost a lot of weight. Most of my pants and shorts were too big for me now, and I knew I was getting unhealthy.

"I know your right… But… How are we going to get off the island?" I asked.

"That's a very good question." Carlisle said walking up behind me smiling.

Carlisle always made the strangest entrances. (A/N I had to write this because Carlisle acts like a third-wheel in this story, don't'cha think?)

"We wanted to go over the options with you if you don't mind." Edward said.

"Sure, what are your ideas?" I was curious on what things they had in mind. Maybe they would change me into a vampire!

"It's very possible for us to swim off the island. I swam all the way to France once." Carlisle said smugly. My eyes widened.

"The only trouble with that is you're much too weak to swim that far. We wouldn't even be sure where we were going." Edward said.

"What about a boat?" I suggested.

"That's the second part," Edward said, "But that is also dangerous for you. Again, we wouldn't know which way we would go, we could run out of food, you could get sick again…"

"Jeez, humans are very irritating," I said.

Edward and Carlisle laughed.

"Is there any other options?" I asked. Because I could sure think of one…

"Yes, we have another idea…" Carlisle said looking at Edward.

"No! No, no, no, no, no!" Edward yelled. "We are not doing that to her, no!"

"Edward, relax. It's her decision." Carlisle said calmly.

"What turn me into a vampire?!" I asked beaming.

"Yes…" Carlisle said quietly.

"Ooh! Ooh! Option three! I pick option three!" I said excited.

"No." Edward said sternly.

"Please!" I yelled.

Edward sighed. "So eager for eternal damnation."

"This option was to change you and live out your newborn life here, with Edward. While I leave the island and look for the way back to Washington." Carlisle said, ignoring Edward.

"That is a great idea!"

Edward was trembling with anger.

I crawled over to him.

"Careful Bella, he's angry." Carlisle warned. I ignored him.

"Edward," I whispered, facing him. "Please. This is best, I've made up my mind. I want to be with you. You wouldn't have to worry anymore."

"I'll always worry about you Bella. I can't believe you would want something like this."

"I do. Please."

Edward sighed again and looked at Carlisle.

"When should we change her?" He asked Carlisle.

"Yay!" I grinned.

"Four days." Carlisle said. "Let her enjoy the last of her human life."

Four days. Just four days and I could be with the man I loved, forever.

That night I was lying under the stars with Edward. He was quiet most of the day, stalking.

"Is this what you really want?" Edward asked.

"Yes. But you know what would make this even better?"

"What?"

"If you changed me." I whispered.

"I don't know if I can." He said, his expression was pained.

"You won't hurt me." I said.

He was quiet for awhile.

Finally he made his decision.

"Fine." He said with mock anger.

At that moment, everything was perfect, forever.


Okay, now i'm going to blather on about so random things so please read:

Some people are asking, "Why didn't Alice see this so the Cullens can come rescue them?"
Don't worry people, I haven't forgotten about Alice, that question will be answered in the next Chapter.

Secondly, I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, I had to clean my room and I had a bad case of Writer's Block. (Insert some other crappy excuse here.)

Anyway! I'm so glad you all love this story, I can't believe I got as many reviews as I did! Thank you all very very much! :D
Next chapter will be Tuesday, most likely.
Thanks and REVIEW! :P!
