Chapter 10

Alright, I'm not sure, my decision might change, but I think I will finish this up and write a sequel. Mostly because I have an idea for a new story, and want to write the new story. But idk, I'm still unresolved. Let me know what you think.

Edward's Pov

I stood above her. She looked dead, but when I listened closely, I could heart her faint heartbeat. That's all I needed to hear. I knew she was alive; and no matter how long her transformation took, I would wait for her. She meant so much to me. I stood with her, day and night, for who knows how long. Her transformation was…odd, to say the least. She gave no shriek of agony, or cry of pain, yet I could visibly see her changing. Finally, I could see no more change in her, but she did not gain conciousness. I couldn't hear her heart beat any more. The change was complete. But she did not rise.

I waited….. Nothing.

A thick cloud of acidic panic rose in my chest. I had just found her, I couldn't survive losing her again.

"Bella?" I asked in a horse whispered. I could see her eyes moving behind her eyelids, but her eyes did not open. Relief fought of the panic inside me. There was movement, she wasn't dead.

I called for Carlisle and he came. I explained what had just happened, to him and asked,

"What does this mean?"

"I…" he hesitated, "I don't know. I suppose all we can do is wait." He left then, knowing I wanted to be alone.

I extended my fingers and stroked her cheek. As I did this, her expression changed. It looked like she was concentrating. Trying to place my touch. But she still did not open her eyes.

"Can you hear me?" I asked her. No response. I removed my hand from her face, but her expression remained intese. I stared at her. Taking in her new appearance for the first time. She was still very much the same, yet still different. She was pale, even for a vampire.There was something different about her face, but I couldn't place what it was. I stared for a long, long time, trying to figure it out. I never did.

Then i heard something.

"Edward?" Her voice. The world's most beautiful instrument couldn't hope to compare. It was a choir of angels to my undeserving ears. Her voice was the opposite of the last piece I had written. The hell-music, Alice had said. And it was.

Heaven and Hell….. In love?

"I am here." I said to her. No matter how wrong we were for eachother, no matter how undeserving I was, I would never give her up. Iwould do anything and everything for her. I slowly reached for her hand, convaying all the love I had in me in that simple touch.

Her eyes flitted open on contact. They were an entrancing black against her white skin. I lost myself in those eyes. They called me, pulling me deeper in with every passing second. I was spellbound. Even though her eyes had changed in color, the did not lose their depth. And for that I was thankful. We stared into eachothers eyes for a long time, until she said in her captivating voice,

"What happened to you? You look…Horrible."

I laughed bitterly. "Lost my life; was crushed by it, and then it returned to me." She looked confused. She sat up gingerly.

"What happened?"

And so I told her. How she and Tanya were in the crash, how Tanya had been attacked, how she had been stabbed, how I tired biting her, how I thought I was too late…

Then came the hard part, describing what it was like. Losing her. Waiting for her.

I finally finished and the look on her perfect eyes was…strange and utterly unexpected. She seemed guilty, relieved, and determined all at the same time. I waited.

"You know…You know I love you right?" she asked. She said it like I might not.

"Yes. I can't see how, but you do." The thought of her, this angel, loving me was euphoric.

"Everything I told you before…Jake---" at the sound of his name I understood what she was trying to say.

"Oh I know all about Jacob Black." I said, finishing her thought for her. She stared at me for a long time, before finally speaking.

"I love you." She said seriously. I couldn't stand it anymore. I pulled her into my arms and kissed her. I released all my passion and love into the kiss. I could now. She was a vampire. I know longer had to fight off the urge to eat her. She kissed me back, her force matching mine. We crossed all of my safety boundaries with this kiss. We kissed long and hard until finally I pulled away, breathing hard.

"I love you, too." I told her intently. "And now I have you for all eternity." I smiled at her; she smiled back.
