Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews. I am so glad you enjoyed it. These next couple of weeks are going to be quite chaotic for me so if I cannot find time to update I am sorry. I will try to update as much as possible. Thank you for all your support and patience!

Disclaimer: Seriously? Do we have to go over this again?

EPOV

I refused to leave Bella's side. She was still thrashing around in pain, but I could not find the strength to move away from her. All I could do was lay beside her.

I watched as she struggled to breathe. Tears were streaming down her beautiful face. I hated myself so much at that moment. I had done this to her. I always told myself that if Bella wanted to be with me then it would be her choice, but I was wrong. I was a selfish monster who would do anything just to hold this precious angel in my arms.

"Edward we have to leave," Alice said dropping down to my level. "Her pain will soon become too intense to handle. We have to get out of here before we raise any more suspicion."

"Suspicion," I repeated curiously. "What do you mean Alice?" She turned away from me and placed her hand across Bella's sweaty forehead.

"Charlie knows that she is home," she said caressing my loves face. "Mrs. Stanley, Jessica's Mother, told Charlie that Bella arrived home about two hours ago. She also told him that Bella was with me."

"Charlie," Bella began to mumble. "I want to go home. I have to get……" Before she could finish her sentence a sudden wave of intense pain washed over her.

"He sent out a search party," Alice continued. "Billy Black suggested that Bella may be in La Push. Charlie and the rest of the police force are only a mile away." Bella began to scream once more. Alice clamped a hand over her mouth as Jacob and Sam approached her.

It was evident that Jacob was furious. He starred at Bella with an expression filled with anger and hatred. Sam was holding his shoulders attempting to control his actions. What have you done to her, Jacob thought in his mind. What have you done to my beautiful, perfect, Bella?

"I had no choice," I said between clenched teeth. "Because of you Bella was going to die. What was I supposed to do? Just sit back and allow that to happen?"

"Bella was going to die of her own accord leech," Sam said with a glare. "She knew exactly what you were yet she refused to stay away from you. Jacob was the one who tried to keep her safe. She deserves to die."

Suddenly Sam began to think of ways to kill Bella before she turned immortal. He thought of tearing apart her body and burning the pieces. He considered ripping her heart out her chest to stop the transformation. A loud growl ripped through my chest as took a protective stance over Bella.

"Alice get her out of her," I yelled towards my sister.

"Edward wait," Carlisle said grabbing my arms to restrain me. "Sam, Jacob, please do not disturb the peace any more then you already have. It was not Edward who transformed her, it was me. I thought it was the best decision. Bella belongs with us, she always has. Please respect my decision."

"NEVER," Jacob screamed. "I will never accept this. Do you hear me? You have broken the treaty, dishonored my family, and created an abomination. For that you will die!" Through my peripheral vision I could see that Alice held Bella in her arms. Within seconds she was running with her towards our house.

"Alright Jacob," I said loosening myself from Carlisle's grip. "Kill me. Tear me apart and burn me to pieces. Do whatever you want to me, but stay the hell away from Bella. It is not her fault that this was done to her. She had no choice in the matter."

"Edward," Carlisle said in a panicky tone.

"No Carlisle," I shouted. "Let him kill me." Jacob crouched down before transforming into a werewolf. He lunged toward me the same time I lunged toward him. Just as we were about to collide we heard a familiar voice call a familiar name.

"Edward, Jacob, stop," Carlisle demanded. My father pulled me back and pushed Jacob away. "Listen. Do you hear that?"

"Bella," Charlie said from a distance. He sounded as if he were about a mile away. "Bella, where are you? Bella?" Jacob disappeared behind a tree as Charlie came closer.

"Get out of here," Sam barked. "Leave our land before we are forced to kill you right here right now." Jacob quickly joined Sam, only this time he was in human form. This is far from over parasite, he thought. You can't hide Bella forever.

"You will never touch her," I said in a fury. "If you ever come near her again, I will kill you Jacob Black." Carlisle pulled back on my shoulders and pushed me toward Forks. Let us go son, he thought. We must get back to Bella.

I turned one last time to glare at Jacob before I broke into sprint towards my home. I was at least three miles away, but I could still hear Bella screaming.

As I approached Bella's side she began to quiet down. Esme, my mother, was standing over her running a wet washcloth across her face. I sat down next to Bella, resting my head beside her own. Carlisle quickly examined her before leaving the room with Esme alongside of him.

"I'm so sorry Bella," I said as a sob escaped my throat. I starred at the now still figure. She appeared to be dead, but her heart was racing. "Oh my sweet love, look at what I have done to you."

The next three days passed by as slowly as possible. Every second felt like a minute. Every minute felt like an hour. It seemed as if an eternity had passed since Bella had last spoken.

Carlisle had filled her body with morphine so he could attempt to dull the pain. It seemed to work temporarily, but I could not be certain of this. I could tell that Bella was trying to control her pain. She no longer screamed. She only ever allowed a small whimper to pass through her lips.

A full seventy two hours had passed. Bella's heart rate had slowed down to only one beat per minute. Hearing this Carlisle approached her side. I continued to listen to the few precious beats until they finally ceased.

BPOV

I was becoming warmer and warmer. Hotter. The heat was so real it was hard to believe that I was imagining it. The heat was unbearable. It was much too hot for any human to handle.

My fingertips felt as if they were on fire. Every part of my body was scorching and I couldn't control it. I could not move my body, though I wanted to. I wanted to remove the source of the heat. I wanted to push it away from me.

I felt my heart beat with a raging fire inside my chest. I had never heard it beat so quickly before. It terrified me. Any form of pain I had felt in my life was nothing compared to this.

I wanted to die. I wanted someone to just kill me and get it over this. I wanted to go back to the darkness where there was no harm to be found, no pain. How could this type of pain be possible?

I could hear myself screaming and I hated the sound of it. Pain is just a state of the mind, I thought to myself. If I can control my mind then perhaps I could control the pain.

My body felt so numb. I was almost grateful that I couldn't move. I feared that if I could move I would surely kill the person who had caused me such agony.

The pain seemed endless. It felt as if it would never end, but I told myself that it had to stop eventually. I concentrated on counting the seconds, minutes, hours, though time no longer seemed to mean anything. It had now been nearly seventy two hours since the pain had begun.

During the seventieth hour the pain began to dull. My body no longer felt as if it were trapped under a brick house. I could move my fingers and my toes. I felt stronger, stronger then I had ever felt before.

I suddenly began to remember all the events that had led up to this moment. Jacob and I fighting in the woods, Laurent, James, and Victoria, attacking me and Alice, Sam and Jacob ripping Victoria to shreds. Mostly I remembered Edward approaching my side. I recalled the coldness of his cool skin against my palm.

"I'm so sorry Bella," I heard Edward whisper. It sounded as if he were right next to me. "I'm so sorry I did this to you. This is entirely my fault." A sudden feeling of hatred began to burn inside of me. Edward was the reason I was feeling this pain? Edward was the reason I was taken away from the pleasant warmth of the white light?

"She should be waking up at any minute," an unfamiliar voice said. "Her heart rate is decreasing quite rapidly." I listened to my heart carefully. It was barely beating. Was I dying? What did the voice mean when it said I should be waking up at any minute?

"She's going to hate me for this Carlisle," Edward said wearily. "I just…I couldn't let her go, not again." What was that supposed to mean? When had he ever lost me? He was the one who decided to leave the country in the first place.

"In time she will forgive you my son," the other voice said. "Bella knows that you love her."

My hearing was becoming clearer and clearer by the second. I heard Edward breathing slowly beside me. I heard the sound of several faint footsteps walking across a wooden floor.

"She should be waking up now," I heard Alice say. "Oh Bella, you look so beautiful."

"You made it Bella," Edward whispered into my ear. "You can open your eyes now sweetheart. It's all over." He was right. The only pain I felt was inside of my throat.

"Bella," the man's voice called. "Bella, my name is Carlisle. I am Edward's father. Can you hear me dear?" I suddenly felt a light pressure in the center of my hand. "If you can hear me then I want you to try and squeeze my hand." I concentrated on moving my fingers. I lightly grasped the object inside of my palm.

"Good girl," Carlisle said. "She is strong. Stronger than I've ever seen." I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to see what I had become. It was apparent that I was no longer myself. Everything was clearer, sharper, more defined.

"Bella, I love you," Edward breathed.

"Come on Bella," I heard Alice squeak. "Open your eyes. It's time to wake up."

"Alice don't rush her," a soothing voice said. "The poor dear has been through so much."

"You never told me she was so gorgeous Edward," a burley voice chuckled. I then heard the sound of someone slapping something. "Ouch! Rosie, baby it was just a joke. She's not half as pretty as you."

"Damn right," someone shouted.

"Rosalie, Emmett, stop it," the gentle women said.

"Edward," I heard Carlisle say. "Perhaps it would be best if we left the two of you alone." I did not hear Edward respond but all of a sudden everything was quiet. All I could hear were the steady breaths coming from Edward.

"Bella please," he begged. "I know you're scared, but I can explain. Please just open your eyes love." The agony in his voice was excruciating. I surrendered to my stubbornness and slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Edward.

"Oh Bella thank you," he said sighing in relief, "thank you for waking up." I starred around at the objects that surrounded me. Light filled the room. Every spectrum, color, and shade of the room was so distinct.

Edward was still starring at me as I sat up. My placed my hand over my burning throat. I opened my mouth and inhaled deeply. I could taste and smell everything.

"I…I…What," I said gasping as I heard my voice. It sounded like chimes. It was so sweet, and perfect.

"It's okay," Edward encouraged. "It's okay Bella." I turned to stare at him as he continued to watch me.

"What have you done to me," I said finally.

"Bella," Edward said reaching out for me. I pulled away from him. I no longer wanted him touch me. I wanted him to go away.

"Don't touch me," I snapped at me.

"Bella please," he begged. "It is not as terrible as it seems. Being a vampire isn't such a bad thing." Vampire, I repeated in my mind. I was a vampire?

"How could you do this to me," I screamed at him. "I could have survived on my own Edward? Why didn't you just stay where you were? I didn't need you to come back and rescue me!"

"Bella," Edward repeated still shocked, "please. It's not as bad as it seems. I had to do it. I had to save you. If I wouldn't have allowed Carlisle to change you then you would be dead! Don't you understand? You were going to die! What choice did I have?"

"You could have let me die," I said bitterly. "It would have been better than being here!" Edward looked away from me, his jaw began to tremble. "I hate you for this Edward! I hate you!"

"Bella you don't mean th-at," he stuttered.

"I do mean that," I said with certainty. "I will never forgive you for this!" Edward lowered his head in shame before swiftly exiting the room. A beautiful tall man with blonde hair and the same colored eyes took his place. Alice followed him into the room.

"Bella what is wrong with you," she asked me. "I know your upset, but there is no reason to act like that! Edward loves you. He only did what he thought was best."

"This is what is best Alice," I questioned her. "I'm a monster!"

"Bella," the man I recognized to be Carlisle said. "Please calm down." He pulled me toward the bed I had been laying on and sat me down. He then sat beside me. "You are not a monster. You are only a monster if you choose to be." I felt as if I should be crying but I could produce no tears.

"I can't do this," I said shaking my head. "I'm not strong enough to do this."

"You are stronger then you give yourself credit for," Alice said kneeling by my side. "Bella, you can do anything. Yes you are a vampire, and yes it will be difficult at first, but you can get through this. We will help you get through this."

"We," I said curiously.

"The choice is yours Bella," Carlisle said taking my hand. You are welcome to be a part of this family. If you decide to stay then we will help you control your thirst and live a semi-normal life. We will all assist you in any way that we can."

"But I have a family," I said with a trembling voice. "Charlie and Renée are my family. They need me. Neither one of them can take care of themselves."

"I will take care of Charlie, Bella," Alice assured me. "I hate to say this, but I do not think it would be wise to see your mother or father anymore."

"What," I said in shock. "Alice I can't do that."

"You have to Bella," Carlisle said. I held my burning throat between my hands. It occurred to me just how much of a threat I now was to parents. I could kill them in a single instant without even meaning to.

"There is no turning back now," Carlisle said. "You are what you are and you're just going to have to deal with it. Perhaps one day you can learn to embrace it."

"It's time to start a new life. The question is, are you ready to do it," Alice asked taking my hand into hers. I considered her words for a moment. Carlisle was right; there was no turning back now.

"I have no choice but to accept it," I whispered. I turned to face Carlisle and smiled at him half heartedly. "If I can't have my real family, then… I would happy to try and be a part of yours."

I had agreed to try and live their lifestyle. This required feasting on the blood of animals. I didn't know if I would be able to feast on any type of blood. As a human, I would pass out if I saw that someone had a bloody nose.

The entire family came with me when it was time for me to hunt. Edward came as well, but refrained from making any contact with me. I was grateful for this. Even though I knew I shouldn't be, I was still angry at him for turning me into a vampire. I hated him for making a choice for me that I should have made for myself.

The family had taken me to a small clearing that was close to the house so that I could hunt. We had run the entire way here. I was shocked at me speed. I could leap, jump, and practically fly. It was nothing like I had ever felt before.

"Come with me Bella," Alice said dragging me to the center of the clearing. "Now, close your eyes." I did as she instructed. "Good. Now, tell me what you hear." I listened carefully to my surroundings.

"Everything," I said eventually. "I can hear everything Alice." I opened my eyes to see that whole family was smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile myself. This was such an incredible experience.

I opened my mouth. I was shocked by the fact that I could also taste everything. Thousands of scents perfumed the tip of my tongue. One particular scent was making my mouth water. I cautiously walked toward the direction of the rich scent, the rest of the family followed. I once again closed my eyes.

"Good Bella," Alice commented. "Now, just let your instincts take over." I breathed in deeply once again. Before I knew what I was doing, I found myself flying across the field. I continued to do this until I felt something warm underneath my body.

I sunk my teeth into the creature beneath me. The moment its blood touched my tongue a certain frenzy began. I drained the animal within seconds. I opened my eyes to find that I killed a buck. A whole heard of dear were following behind it. Within five minutes I had drained the blood of the entire herd of deer. I couldn't believe what I had just done.

"Wow Bella," the boy named Emmett said. "That was….impressive." The girl named Rosalie slapped the back of his head. Through the corner of my eye I could see Edward watching me carefully. A broad smile lit up his face.

I quickly buried the carcasses, just has Alice had instructed me to. Just as we were about to go home a horrible scent crossed my nose. I turned around to see where the stench was coming from.

"Oh no," Alice said suddenly. "No! No! No!" Soon enough I saw what Alice had been so fearful of. There standing ten feet away from me was Jacob Black. He had a look of pure hatred on his face.

"Hello Bella," he called across the clearing. I stood there frozen. Edward acted quickly and stepped in front of me. He took a protective stance and began to growl. This didn't seem to faze Jacob. He only continued to walk closer. Soon enough he was standing directly in front of Edward and I.

"Step out of the way leach," Jacob growled. "It's time to take care of business."

And there is chapter 14! I hope you enjoyed it! Next chapter you will find out what sort of power Bella possess. So, what do you think will happen? How will Bella escape Jacob? REVIEW and tell me what you think!
