Chapter 2
I didn't move from his side throughout the screaming, thrashing, panting, and the "Please! Stop the burning!"I held his hand and didn't avert my gaze away from his angelic face, even whilst in pain. I told him over and over how sorry I was and that he was going to be okay and the pain would soon go away. I felt so helpless, just sitting there not being able to doing anything to help him.
The change was halfway through its course and, he had learnt that screaming wasn't helping. So I told him what was happening to him and what he was soon to become. "Help me! Please!" he screamed. "Just let me die!" every time he screamed I told him again how sorry I was, and held his hand tighter.
It was the third day and he hadn't even looked at me. He just laid there breathing deeply. He was going through the final stages of the change, his eyes were going scarlet red, and his wounds and scars were all gone. His face, once tanned, now a deathly white. I ran my fingers through his, and felt his silky smooth skin against mine. His once warm, soft skin now cold and hard like stone.
After so long of waiting, his heart took its final breath before becoming silent. I looked at his face as he was adjusting to his new body. He sat up abruptly and took in his surroundings. Then what felt like years rather than days, he finally looked at me. I sat there, waiting for his reaction. My worst nightmare flashed through my mind. What if he hated me for what I did to him, for not letting him have a choice? I grimaced at the thought. But he just stared deep into my eyes; I couldn't do anything but stare back. His face stretched into a grin. Relief flooded through me, I couldn't help but smile.
"Is this heaven?" he said as he looked around with a curious look on his face. "It doesn't look like heaven" I smiled as he looked deeply at me. "Are you an angel? You're beautiful" If I was a human, I would have been blushing. I looked down at the floor and a giggle slipped past my lips.
"I'm not an angel, and this isn't heaven. I'm Rosalie Hale, and I'm a vampire. And so are you."
Emmett POV
I looked at her as she said the word vampire. I vaguely remember hearing that I was becoming a vampire when I was burning, I'd just assumed that I was either dreaming or hallucinating. Looking at her, I didn't know that vampires looked so... beautiful. "Can you tell me your name?" she smiled gently, which made it even more difficult to speak. "Emmett Johnson" I was surprised to hear my voice, it sounded clearer and more elegant. Her smiled widened and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Just then I heard someone walk in the room, I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't heard his footsteps, I was so caught in her beauty, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"Rose?" A voice from the doorway suddenly said. Rosalie suddenly looked at the man and nodded. He turned his focus to me. "Hello, I'm Doctor Carlisle Cullen"
Carlisle told me all about how he came to be a vampire and about the rest of his family, Esme and Edward. And how I became what I am, a vampire. Whilst he was talking, a tall man with light brown hair quietly came in and lent against the door frame with a slight frown creasing his brow. This must be Edward. I wonder what his problem was. All of sudden his frown turned to a slight grin. Doctor Carlisle turned to look at him. "Edward, this is Emmett. Rose found him in the-"
"I know." He said abruptly, his grin vanishing from his lips. I saw Rose from the corner of my eye, turn to face Edward and glare at him. I must have looked confused as Edward looked at me and chuckled lightly.
"I can read minds." He said sounding completely serious. My brow creased as I took in the information. This guys a good liar. I thought to myself.
His grin returned to his face. "I'm not lying." I looked at him in shock as his face still held a grin.
Lucky guess. Ok what am I thinking now? I thought to myself again, and watched his face as I thought about taking down a huge grizzly bear, like the one that almost killed me, and draining it of its blood. As I thought of the warm blood, trickling down my throat, it brought on a burning that I didn't notice was there, until now.
"Rose, you might want to take him hunting now." He said as he looked at Rose. "And take him somewhere with grizzly bears" he added whilst grinning and looking at me through the corner of his eye.
I looked at him "Ok, I believe you. Now can you stop the burning in my throat?" I said as I turned to look at Rose. She then looked at Carlisle, who then nodded "Take him deep into the forest, far away from the village. Edward you'd better go with them, just in case." Carlisle said and looked at Edward. There was a long silence and then Edward nodded. Rosalie came and stood next to me and took my hand, and smiled at me gently. "You ready Emmett?" Even though I had heard her voice before, it still blew me away when she spoke. I couldn't speak, so I just nodded and smiled back. I heard Edward scoff under his breath and then walk out of the door. All of a sudden we was running deep into a forest.
