1. Awakening


As I began to regain consciousness, I felt the fire rip through me again, this time I could feel it properly as before I was numb from head to toe. But it was different this time, the same fire but something else was ripping through my throat... a new pain. Then someone spoke.

"Carlisle, she's moving "

Carlisle? I was being watched. My whole body felt different ... more smooth ... but hard like a granite surface. My fingers twitched on what felt like an operating table, I clenched my fists as the new pain ripped through me once more.

I tried to move but realised that I was being held down. I remembered again my last moments ... being held down by what felt like a ton weight. Instinct took over and I pushed off the weights that had held me down. I sat up and opened my eyes, only to see what looked like a whole new world. Everything was so bright and glossy that I wondered if I had travelled to the future or to a whole other time. Also, everything smelled so strong. One smell stood out and I found myself backing up to a nearby wall. It was the last smell I'd smelt before I passed out in the woods. The sweet smell of the blonde curls that whipped across my face. I looked around to find her. Where was I? Why was I here in this room? And there she was, half hidden by a large dark haired boy. My stance tightened against the wall, but the blonde girl didn't move. With my new eye sight, I could see everyone more clearly. Beside them stood another couple; a small girl with short dark hair to her ears and perfect features and a boy with short dirty blonde curls, he also was perfect in ever way, but with what looked like scars all over his visible body parts. Something was familiar about these people. The big dark haired guy moved forward, but was stopped by the curly haired guy. He paused then went back to his defensive position over what looked like his girlfriend. The curly haired guy moved towards me and the short girl let of a low sob that I'm sure no human would have heard. So I could hear better, see better and smell everything. The curly haired guy continued to approach me, cautiously but relaxed at the same time.

"Its ok Jasper, she won't hurt us" The short girl said in a musical voice. Everything seemed so elegant about these people. Then I realised why I was so familiar with them. The Cullen's. The Cullen's were a mystery in school; no one understood why they were always appearing and disappearing. Some say that Dr and Mrs Cullen would yank them out for hiking and camping when the weather was nice (which wasn't exactly common in Forks) , other believe that they're just real clever and don't need that much tuition. What ever the reason, the Cullen's were always the centre of attention in school. They would show up in their snazzy cars and fancy clothes; never seen wearing the same thing twice. Of course they were loaded!

The curly haired guy walked closer now, my automatic response was to back away even more but I was already against the wall. I couldn't figure out why I felt so weird (Apart from being in the Cullen's house knocked out on a metal bed)

"Its ok there's no need to be alarmed. My name is Jasper, and you've probably seen me and my family around Forks High School" Jasper. I knew his name, but somehow my brain just hadn't pinpointed it, and the others, Emmett, Alice And ... Rosalie. Rosalie.

It had been Rosalie whom I'd smelled earlier. Her sweet scent was my last memory before the black-out. I stared into her golden eyes. Emmett must have noticed that I was staring and moved her out of my view. What did they think I was going to do?

"Why-"I stopped myself. My voice sounded so ... so beautiful. Like Alice's voice had before. I didn't understand what had happened to me? My whole body was different; my skin was so smooth and hard, my senses were as sharp as ever and now my voice was like a beautiful melody. Everyone seemed to twitch at the sound of my voice.

"Don't panic. Emma... Something... Big has happened to you. You will notice a lot of changes and your physical appearance, and some in your mind. You're a lot stronger and faster than you were before and you will probably be feeling a sharp burning pain in your throat. There's a lot to explain ... I'll leave the questions to you "Jasper Sighed.

I looked down at myself. My body was so perfectly formed that I done a double take. My stomach was rock solid and flat. No muscles seemed present though there could have been a 6-pack there, it was so hard. My black combats were ripped and covered in dirt from the forest floor. My Tight blue Tee, showing off my body shape perfectly, and my white converse shoes were dotted with little drops of....

The pain ceased me once more and I felt myself holding onto my throat as if it could fall off at any minute. The others flinched as I grasped my throat and let out what seemed like a growl.

I caught a glimpse of Rosalie vanish out of the door. With my new eyes I could see every twitch. Another guy entered and I recognised it as Edward Cullen. He was followed by Dr Carlisle Cullen.

"What's happening to me? " I managed to sing out.

"You're ... Thirsty" Carlisle said, the words were so soft.

Thirsty? This wasn't thirst this was Pain! Some doctor! Just then, I caught the scent of something near by and then pain increased. I flew for the window at a speed I'd never imagined possible for a human. This time I was back on the metal bed with my arms and legs pinned down by the incredible force again. The scent was gone and a calmed myself down.

"Emma, I must explain this quickly because we must quench your thirst. As Jasper says, your physical and mental states have changed and your need for a certain type of food is growing."Carlisle Explained.

"So what's wrong with me? Do I have some kind of Food Related Disease?" I quizzed, I was so confuse.

"More of an eternity long infection" Carlisle wasn't making any sense. The pain was excruciating, and this lecture wasn't doing any good to my condition.

"There's no easy way to say this, you've been committed to a life long sentence, one that you can't escape. You're here because of-"I interrupted.

"Rosalie" I hissed.

"Yes, it is because of Rosalie that you are here. Rosalie and Bella were out hunting in the woods just off La Push. Rosalie caught your scent and tracked you down, Bella wasn't close by to Rosalie when she caught your scent, and couldn't get to her quick enough to stop her from biting you, but she did manage to get her off before... she killed you" Carlisle explained.

"Hunting? What were they hunting and why did she bite me?" I was clueless. I Heard Emmett Chuckle at my left side.

"Elk I believe, she bit you because your scent of blood was so strong. It's very had to resist hunting down a human. Only one of us has the will to do so and that is Bella. She has a special gift, as have Edward, Alice & Jasper. We're different to others who live in Forks, very different and you must keep this secret Emma as you to are now one of us. The gifts we possess are given to us when the venom spreads. Some have gifts others don't. Some gifts are pieces of your human life others not. Some don't have any gifs, like me. I sorts of created my own gift of self control as I work in the hospital. Our coven has been around for centuries alone and there are others out there, we round into them from time to time. We are immortal, and with the immortality comes eternal life. We will never grow old, we will never die. You will stay 15 for all of your existence and the only way to kill you is to rip you apart and burn the pieces. Your organs no longer work and will find no need to breathe. I know this is a lot to take in but all will become clearer when we go hunting and calm your thirst." Carlisle waited for my response.

He was still holding me down along with Edward, Alice, Jasper and Emmett. Rosalie had not returned and I wondered what she was doing. She had bitten me, made me immortal, stopped my heart from beating and made me 15 forever. Also, she had turned me into some kind of rock! My body was hard and cold and I was yet to look in the mirror.

I stopped breathing to see if I really could go without. Everything was silent. No one breathed. But I could hear the beating of something... a human heart pumping human blood. I wanted it. Then the burning was back and I was pushing to get up again.

"Carlisle she needs to hunt or she's going to try and get down stairs to Jacob" Edward said, as if he read my mind - Freaky.

"Alice is it safe to go hunting? " Carlisle asked Alice.

"Yes, should I go get Rosalie?" Alice asked Carlisle.

"Yes round up everyone but Bella, Renesme and Jacob. It's not safe for them." Carlisle Ordered Alice. It was like Military School the way everyone obeyed his commands. Then Alice was gone and I struggled to control the urge to push my way through the body's holding me down. I knew I would be able to because I'd done it before. My strength was so powerful I could probably do it with no struggle at all. Edward took Alice's place and then looked down to me. It was the first time I'd really noticed his pale skin. Unlike the others in school I didn't really pay much attention to the Cullen's, and now that I had a perfect view, I noticed how beautiful they were. It wasn't beautiful as in a childish crush; it was beautiful like a work of art. His face was the perfect shape and his golden eyes were a beautiful shade of liquid topaz. He smiled, and I think I would have stopped breathing had I been breathing in the first place. His lips again were perfect. There are no other words to describe his perfectness. Then his teeth, gleaming white and sharp... His smile turned to a frown as I noticed this. It was like he was reading my mind.

I could no longer hear the heartbeat, and the Cullen's grip loosened on me. I sat up slightly on my elbows and looked from Carlisle to Edward. Edward was Staring at Carlisle, who was staring at me.

"What?" I choked out.

"Just relived that's all, wouldn't want you killing Jacob, he's a ... family friend" Edward sighed.

"Jacob Black, from the reservation? I know him, I live near the reservation with my foster parents" I grumbled out the last words. I hated them and I was pretty sure they hated me too.

"Yes Jacob Black from the reservation. Why do you hate your foster parents?" Edward said.

"How did you know that? I didn't say I hated them." I was stunned. Had Edward just read my mine?

"Remember the gifts we were telling you about? Mine is to mind read. I can read every mind except for Bella's; Bella has something of a shield. She cannot be harmed by any other gift and I cannot intercept her thoughts. Alice however, can still see her future. Alice's gift is to see the future, which comes in handy to us when things go wrong. Just don't make any bets with Alice because you can be sure you'll lose." Edward Chuckled and Carlisle joined in. They seemed a bit more relaxed. Emmett however, still seemed tense around me. What was it about me that made them feel this way?

"Emmett is very strong, much Stronger than average. Jasper can control emotions. It helps a lot. In a room of very tense people, Jasper can be helpful. I think he's doing it just now other wise we would still be tense around you." Edward was right, even Emmett Seemed more relaxed now and Jasper Smiled Slightly From my left side. I still didn't understand what I was now. Was I gifted like them? Edward tightened his shoulders. I forgot he could hear what I was thinking. This was going to be hard, never going to be able to hide my thoughts from him. School was going to be different too. Edward tightened again.

"Emma, you're not going back too Forks High, you're not even going to be able to go home, not for a while anyway. Please just trust us for a minute love. We need to take you out to the forest" Edward exchanged a glance with the others. They all nodded in sync with each other.

The burning ripped in my throat yet again and groaned, my head rolled backwards as I fought the pain.

"We need to hurry "Jasper Announced.
