I stared out the front door where all the beautiful vampires stared, growling.

Edward's eyes had turned black, but I wasn't scared of whatever was out there, it didn't bother me because I had my family.

Edward grabbed me, and pushed me behind him, ready to fight for my life.

The vampires formed a wall around me and Edward for protection, but I didn't want any of them hurt, they were my family.

I heard light footsteps approaching the first room we were in, and I started to panic. What would they do to my family?

I heard growls coming from the other side of the room, and I quickly looked over to the three vampires staring at me and my family.

"Hello. I am Laurent, and this is James and Victoria," Laurent said, pointing out the other two vampires by his side.

"Hello," Carlisle said with caution, "this is my family – Emmett and Rose, Alice and Jasper, Bella and Edward, Esme, and I'm Carlisle."

I couldn't believe he pointed us out in groups, and that I was in one of them.

The blonde vampire, James, stared at me, but not with caution, he stared at me with thirst, but I quickly pushed the thought aside.

James stared at me, and started to growl, and Edward mirrored him.

James and Edward were both in a protective crouch, but I was frozen, and couldn't move.

Alice jerked me out of the way, and that was enough to throw me onto the couch, but I just lay there, stunned.

James launched himself at me, and Edward pushed him away, throwing him into the wall.

Alice was by my side the next second, picking me up.

She handed me to Edward, and took his place to fight James off.

Edward kissed my head lightly, flew out the door, and through the woods at inhuman speed.

The wind started to blow the opposite direction we were running, and blew my scent back to James. Edward felt the wind shift, and quickly ran faster, making me dizzy.

He ran till I was sure we were in Canada, and finally slowed, dropping me to my feet.

I tried to find something to grab, but the only thing I could find was Edward. He was holding me up, to keep from falling over, when he suddenly looked up like he heard something.

He sat me on a rock against a tree, and walked off slowly, at human speed, not leaving my sight.

He sniffed the air, looking for James' scent, and when he looked like he found something, he walked slowly, but cautiously through the forest, still in my sight.

I felt someone's presence behind me, and slowly turned to face the eyes looking at me, cautiously.

I looked into the bright red eyes of James, and the bright red hair next to him of Victoria, and that sent me into a panicked scream.

Edward heard my scream, and came running back to me at full speed, trying as hard as he could to get there to make me safe again.

James inched towards me, and I slowly backed away, but before Edward could get to me James grabbed my hand, holding me against a tree, and bit my hand. I screamed in pain, and Edward reached me before James could kill me, luckily for me.

He threw himself at James with all his strength, throwing James against the side of the tree, causing it to snap and break. Edward and James lay on the ground next to the broken tree, fighting each other, but I screamed in pain again because my hand was burning.

James had bit me, and Edward was too busy fighting him to save me.

I was going to be one of him, or die.

My life flashed through my mind, and I saw my mom, Charlie, Edward, the Cullens, James, but I quickly blocked out James, I didn't want him in my mind.

The burning fire was getting worse, and the only things I could do was scream for help, or hope for death to come.

I was hoping death would just kill me so I didn't have to feel the burning pain in my arm that was now flowing through my whole body.

I felt cold hands touching my skin, and hoped it was Edward here to save me from this pain.

"It's okay, Bella. I'm here," He soothed, "it's too late," He sighed, and picked me up.

He carried me for the same length of distance that we ran the first time, but we were at the house sooner than I thought.

"Carlisle," Edward said, "is it too late?"

I heard footsteps walking over to me, and touch my burning arm.

"I'm sorry, Edward," Carlisle apologized, and I could hear the sadness in his voice.

The burning got worse, and worse, before I could take no more. I was able to hear everything now coming down stairs, and I wanted, more than anything, Edward by my side.

As if by cue Edward walked up the stairs, and into the room I was burning in. He sat next to me, and rubbed my arm, soothing me.

I counted his breaths to wait for the time to pass, and about four-thousand breaths later, the burning slowed.

It was slowing, and I was thankful to finally be able to avoid the burning fire, and find the cool, ice hand drawing designs on my arm.

I heard everything going on around me now, but there was one thing missing inside me. My heartbeat.

My heartbeat was missing, and then I remembered I never heard Edward's heartbeat because vampires don't have hearts, and that sent me into a deep, dark room that was soundless.

I opened my eyes to the room that I had been placed in for the time I took to change. I looked around the room, and I could see everything in detail, Especially Edward.

I jumped up swiftly, and looked around the room with my new eyes at the seven vampires staring back at me with fear.
