Chapter 4: New Life
"Bella?" Edward asked.
"That's my name!" I chirped. This new voice, I would never get used to it.
"Oh my god, Bella!" Alice screamed. With that everyone rushed into the room. "You're sooooooo pretty!"
Everyone burst into laughter. Come to think about it I hadn't looked in a mirror since the transformation. I had to see what I looked like! I rushed into one of the bathrooms, obviously a prop. I stared into mirror looking at my reflection.
Plain Bella had flown out of the window after the transformation, welcome hot Bella. My hair, a dark shade of brown, had lightened into a burnt orange colour, my chest had grown and waist thinned, I was at least two inches taller, I had curves, my teeth were a dazzling white, and my eyes were…burgundy?
"EDWARD!" I screamed, funny, it still sounded like bells. How ironic.
"What is it Bella?" He questioned.
"My eyes are red! Why are they red?" I said nervously.
"Silly Bella!" Edward laughed. "All new vampires have red eyes. They still have a lot of human blood in them. It will take at least a month to get rid of it all."
"Oh," I said. Good, it wasn't permanent. These red eyes are creepy. Note, one more reason turning into a human eater is bad. "Hey Edward?" I asked. "Can we run some, I want to get a hold of my speed and have this unbelievable urge to run"
"Certainly my sweet, we'll run for half an hour. But then we have to get ready for school." He replied.
School, I had completely forgotten about that. What had the Cullen's said? Today was graduation! Guess after this I would have to be a personal Barbie doll for Alice. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad now that I looked good, hmmm, shopping doesn't sound so bad either. Wow, I guess this goes along with being a vampire.
Edward reading my flash of emotions chuckled. "All of us stayed with you, we called school saying we were camping and you were coming with us. Which reminds me, we should take you hunting during our half an hour of running."
Hunting, this made me nervous. What if I was no good? Don't think like that Bella; remember what Edward said, when hunting our instincts take over.
"Well let's get going, Bella" Edward said. "We'll start you easy on deer. When we get to Denali we'll try some grizzly."
"Yum! Irritable grizzly," I said remembering Emmett's favourite. That sent all of us laughing again. "Race yah" I said as I raced through the door. It was exhilarating! Soon enough Edward was by my side. When he stopped I did to.
"O.K. smell that?" He said. I nodded; it was the most delicious thing I ever smelled. My mouth was watering. "That, is deer. I want you to watch me and then you can get one." I nodded again. Hurry up, this is so enticing.
I soon got what I wanted, I neared the second deer. It looked frightened, it should be. I leaped forward and sank my fangs into its neck, the warm blood trickled down my throat. Nothing in my human life compared to this.
"Good job Bella, you seem like a natural," said Edward. It continued like this for the half hour. Edward and me hunted to our hearts content. Soon the thirty minutes was up and we headed back to the house.
"Oh, Bella," whispered Alice, I heard because of vampire hearing of course,
"Yeah"
"Time to get ready for graduation!" She screamed.
We ran up to her room and started digging through her closet. I finally found the perfect dress; it was a sapphire knee-length dress with silver sequins in the shape of lilies. It was a v-cut collar and had short sleeves.
"Alice!" I screamed. "This one is perfect!" She nodded very hyperly. We went into her huge bathroom. I had blood red, very fitting, lipstick with blue and silver eye shadow. While I was putting on my makeup Alice got dressed.
We walked downstairs to meet Edward in a tux. I wonder how much it took for that. We walked outside; a typical cloudy day awaited us. I was so excited. During hunting Edward mentioned he had a surprise for me.
"Well Bella, since you're a vampire and can't stand being slow it seems you are without transportation," Edward started. "So I took it upon myself to find you a very nice ride."
I was literally jumping. We walked to the garage and as the door lifted I gasped.
There, before me, stood a black 1998 corvette. I screamed, it was so cool.
"It can go zero to eighty in ten seconds and has heated seats." Rosalie said stepping out from the shadow.
I screamed again. Rosalie was being nice to me, I had and awesome car, and I was a vampire. Life couldn't get any better.
"Time to go Bella, you can drive." Said Edward. I screamed for the millionth time today.
"It's ok, I'm calm now." I said. I hopped into the car and told Edward to get in. I started to drive like a maniac. I can't see how I ever lived when I was going so slowly. I pulled into the parking lot of the school. It was packed.
Edward was holding my hand rather tightly, even for vampire standards. I wondered what was wrong. Then something hit me, I was supposed to be attracted to human blood. What was odd was I couldn't smell them.
"Guys, something is bothering me." I stated
"What is it?" Alice said.
"I can't smell the human blood," I said nervously.
"WHAT?!" They screamed making some people turn their heads.
"Hmmm, maybe since she was repulsed by human blood she isn't attracted to it as a vampire." Said Alice wondering.
"I hope this isn't my only power," I said glumly.
They both chuckled. "We'll see. Come on Bella we have to take our seats" Said Edward. We all rushed to the gym.
Unfortunately Edward and Alice went up pretty soon, so I had to wait in my seat with everyone uncomfortably staring at me. Time passed slowly but sure enough my name was called. I stood up and gracefully walked to the podium, I shook hands with the principal and got my diploma. The first one of many to come.
Finally the ceremony was over. Edward and Alice were talking to their parents about Denali so I was standing by my new car. As I was expecting Charlie rushed up to me, his face growing purpler by the second.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Charlie shouted. I was glad he didn't notice the change, probably too angry. "Bella you will get in the car RIGHT NOW!"
"No dad." I said simply.
"What do you mean no? I am your father and you will do as I say," He said again.
"I am an adult now, I can choose who I want." I said getting angrier. "I choose Edward."
"Bella, he broke your heart. Why are you just taking him back?"
"Because I love him"
"Bella, you either come with me or I will never talk to you again. You won't be able to come crying to me when he leaves again." He finally resolved.
"Then I won't." Those were the last words I ever spoke to him. In the years to come I would check up on him, hopefully he would forgive me.
I hopped into my car to wait for Edward and Alice. Soon enough they came over and told me to go home, I stared at my diploma, my first diploma. It was so weird; this was one of the last fragments of my human life.
Alice, who was in the passenger seat immediately, screamed, "SHOPPING!"
After she said this I was hopping out of my seat with anticipation. I was going to get so much new stuff; this was going to be so fun.
We were driving one hundred eighty miles per hour to get Edward home, pick up Rosalie, and then drive full-speed to the mall in Seattle. When we got to the house we practically threw Edward out and Rosalie jumped in.
Rosalie explained our itinerary like a military general, no stops and no joking around. We had to replace my entrire wardrobe. First we stopped in Hot Topic and picked up several pairs of jeans, shirts, and even some Fall Out Boy and Panic At The Disco CDs.
Next we walked into Victoria's Secret. I got a black lace bra and panty set with a red mesh cover up. I also got a black and red sleep wear set. The rest of the stuff was pretty much average.
Next we stopped in Aeropostale to pick up some cargo pants, a couple of jackets, and some long sleeved shirts. Our final stop for clothes and or accecories was Claires. We picked up many bottle of make up, jewlery, shoes, and hats upon hats.
Because I begged, we stopped at the new music store. Unfortuantly for me Jessica was there. I figured if I ignored her she wouldn't come over. She was too engrosed in some tacky band.
I picked up a Greenday CD, an Evanescence CD, and a My Chemical Romance CD. I also got a eight GB black iPod video. Alice and Rosalie got iPod's as well.
I payed and we exited. Alice had given me a couple of credit cards at the beginning of the day.
"Hey Bella," Alice shouted. "I got these for you." She handed two platinum master cards to me in a black leather wallet.
"Alice, I couldn't possible accept these," I replied.
"Bella, now that you're going to be a part of the family you have to have access to the family's money." She said smiling. I nodded o.k.
We got into the car after heaping the shopping bags in the trunk. Ah, life was good and getting better by the minute.
