A Lost Bet
Fire & Ice
I hunted a lot to prepare for today. Bella trusts that I won't hurt her, but she doesn't know how hard it can be to not drain her. I can't believe I did stop when James bit her. She was lucky then. For the past week, Alice has been on watch to see if anything is going to happen when I change her, but she says things won't be clear until I do it. Which makes me feel so much better.
"Edward, you won't hurt me. You love me too much to." Bella whispers in my ear as we lie on our bed. I try to smile but it doesn't work. Bella frowns and crosses her arms across her chest.
"I'm sorry love, I'm just nervous that's all."
"Well, that's reassuring." She jokes and strokes my cheek. "Edward, you love me right?"
"Of course, love, why would you ask that?"
"Then nothing will happen to me. Except for the fact I'll be on fire. But that's beside the point. I know in three days, I'll be eternally yours." I smile at that thought and kiss her cheek and all the way down to her chin.
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you too, Edward." Alice crashes in to the room with a smile.
"You guys ready? We have everything set up." Bella perks up and nods. We both get off the bed and head on down to the guest room. Since being changed is such an awful experience we figured that she wouldn't want to have that memory in a place she'd spend some of her life- existence in.
We walk in there and there's a bed, that I bought, with clean sheets and chairs all around it. Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle will always be nearby to help hold her down from the thrashing. And of course, I'll stay by her side no matter what. Bella looks at me and smiles.
"Edward, can you step out for a second? I'd like to talk to Alice about something." I nod, following my wife's wishes, and step out side the door. I have to gather the rest of the family anyway.

Edward walks out looking slightly confused but I don't want him to hear what I'm telling Alice.
"Alice, it's going to hurt really bad?"
"I don't remember from my experiences but, yes it is."
"Well, can you promise me something?" Alice nods. "If I ask Edward to stop it, can you please prevent it? I know he'll do anything I say... and I don't want him to stop. I want this, I know I do. But sometimes... you know when someone gets caught up in the moment-"
"Bella I get it. I won't let him do anything. Trust me." I smile and give her a big hug. "And I'll tell the rest of the guys."
"Thank you Alice, you're the best sister ever!" Alice laughs.
"So are you, Bella. If only you'd be this enthusiastic about shopping..."
"Alice, can we not talk about that now? I'm about to be changed!" A knock comes from the door and I tell who ever it is, possibly Edward, to come in. Sure enough, it's Edward and he waltzes in with the rest of the Cullen family. Carlisle walks in with a medical bag in his hand and he places it on the table in the room. "What's that for?"
"Bella, I'm going to make this as painless as I can. It'll only work for part of the first day, then after that it's going to get much, much worse. You understand?"
"Okay, what is it?"
"Morphine." I nod in understanding. Carlisle is such a great father. He'll do anything to make sure I'm okay. "You ready, Bella?"
"Why does everyone keep asking that! Let's get it over with!" I joke, but only Emmett chuckles. "Come on you guys, it's not like I'm dying."
"It is like your dying. To your family." Rosalie hisses. I frown, and Edward wraps his arm around my waist.
"Love, don't worry about her. She's just really mad that you're ending the one thing she wants. Your mortality." He whispers in my ear. I fake a smile and walk over to the bed. Rosalie growls.
"I'm sorry, Bella, I can't watch this." She walks out of the room as quick as she can and everyone falls silent.
"It's okay. I understand." I say to where she was, I know she can hear it anyway.
"Alright, Bella, are you comfortable wearing those clothes?" Carlisle asks and I look down at what I'm wearing. My old shorts I brought here from Phoenix, and an A-shirt.
"Yes, I figured since I'm going to be hot... mind as well be as cool as I can be." I smile and everyone chuckles. Good, I lifted the mood up with out Jasper's help. I sit on the bed with Edward by my side and stare at my family. I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't believe I'm going to become a vampire.
This is awesome.

"Love, do you still want to do this." Bella smiles.
"Of course, I want to be with you forever." I nod and she lies down on the bed. Carlisle sets up the shots for the morphine and brings them over beside the bed.
"Alright Bella, this is to numb the pain. But, like I said before it'll only work for a little while. Then I can't do anything about it." She nods again and closes her eyes.
"Just start it. I'm ready." I look at her fragile body and touch her cheek. She smiles at my touch and her eyes open. "Thank you, Edward."
"I love you." I say to her and she leans her head in to my hand.
"I love you, too." She nods at Carlisle, and he starts the injection. Two shots later Carlisle nods at me to start.
I take her wrist, the one with the scar, bite down right on top of it. The blood pools out of it but I sink in long enough for the venom to enter her. Then I take her other wrist and sink my teeth in there. She twitches a little... and I glare at Carlisle. She's only feeling the piercing.. No pain Edward. Continue. I nod and sink down on her ankles. Her blood is so sweet tasting...
Edward! Don't even think about it! Alice yells in my head and I shake out of the thoughts.
"You have to put the venom near her heart, Edward. In order to complete it." I grimace. The thought of her beating heart stopping is unbearable. But I place my mouth by her heart and sink my teeth in. The venom seeps in and I pull out. Her heart starts to beat erratically.

I don't feel much pain only the small pinches where Edward bit me. I can hear the others talk around me. Edward is by my side and he's holding my hand. I don't know how long it's been since he bit me. But now I'm starting to feel something... the fire. It's in my arms and my legs... has it already been half of the day? It's burning even hotter now! I try to hold back my screams. I want to be strong. I want to be strong for Edward.
Oh but my arms and legs hurt so bad! I can't take it anymore. I start to move my arms and my legs to make it stop burning. But cold hands hold me down preventing me from doing anything. It feels nice against my legs... it doesn't hurt as much. I stop moving and the hands go away.
That's when I scream out in pain. "EDWARD! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE THE FIRE STOP!" Edward's hands holds my face.
"I'm sorry love. I'm so sorry."
"Make it stop. Please!" My arms and legs start thrashing about to make the fire stop but cold hands holds me down, and I stop moving again.
"Wait, I have an idea." A voice that sounds like Alice chirps up. All of the sudden I feel a heavy weight on me, but it's making the fire go away. I lean in towards the cold and try to stop my body from convulsing, but it's doing it's own thing now. And then I black out.

Alice told me to lay next to Bella, and hold her. She's starting to look really pale, paler than she was before. I feel horrible. She keeps telling to end it, but I can't. Because, I know deep inside she doesn't. This is killing me to see her in pain, and day one is almost over.
She keeps mumbling for me to make it stop, and that it still hurts. I want to make it stop for her. "Please, Edward. Please?" She shakes underneath me, I think my cold body isn't doing anything for her now. "Edward, please make it stop."
"Are you sure, love?"
"Edward! PLEASE!" I hesitate a little before lowering my mouth on to her neck.
"NO EDWARD DON'T DO IT!"
