Chapter 16

I hated to leave Josh in suspense about my immortality. It wasn't a really nice thing to do, but I didn't have all of the details yet and his father ruined my stay anyhow. I was going to accept his father's disturbance as a habit.

When I got home, I frantically searched the house for Carlisle. Who knew he could be so hard to find?

"CARLISLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. My voice wasn't as booming as Emmett's, but it was still loud enough to get everyone's attention. Where was he? I knew he was home. He HAD to be.
"Yes, Elizabeth?" I turned around to see him poking his head out of his office, where I should have looked in the first place.

"Carlisle, I need to talk to you."

"I know. Your mother already told me. Come in." He opened his door wider, allowing my entrance. Even though I had seen them before, the pictures on the wall were absolutely breathtaking.

"I need to know…how I'm going to become a vampire…"

Carlisle nodded.

"I, personally, am not an expert on the subject, as I have never witnessed something like this. But I've known people to have gone through such a thing like this." This shocked me. There were other people like me? He continued, "And I know what can trigger the internal vampire to emerge, though."

"What is it?" I wasn't sure what to expect to hear.

"When you're experiencing the happiest moment you'll ever have, a sharp, stinging pain will rush through you and the transformation will begin.

What? My happiest moment? How do I know when that's going to be?

"Please, Carlisle…isn't there a way to stop it…or maybe, maybe…" I was lost for words, completely traumatized about these news. I mean, saddest moment would make sense. But your happiest?

"Yes, there is a way…but I'm not sure. I've never come across the answer to that. I need to research it or talk to some of my old friends…"

How could he not know?

"Carlisle, you MUST find out. I-I don't know what I'll do if I start becoming…a vampire and not knowing how to stop it." To be perfectly honest, I'd rather become a werewolf. That would be more enjoyable, considering I wouldn't live forever, nor would I have to live without Josh.

"I'll find out, Elizabeth. Don't worry about it know though. Just…try not to be extremely happy in the next couple of days."

"Uhm, okay then. Thank you, Carlisle." I gave him a hug and went into my own room to complete my homework.

Tomorrow, I would have to tell Josh what I've learned. Maybe he would be fully transformed and I can meet a werewolf.

(Yes, I realize how short this chapter is, but it gets the point across! Maybe I'll be able to get another chapter in today?!)
