(Chapter 7 Review)

He bent down and put his lips against my scar and I felt his cold lips touch my warm skin for the last time.

Chapter 9

I sat up and opened my eyes. I looked around and no one was there. I tried to find my voice, but after a while, I gave up. I jumped off the bed I was laying on, and landed on the floor. That was so graceful, when it should have been clumsy.

I tried to find my voice again.

"Edward," I croaked, but yet it still sounded like bells. "Edward, where are you?" I left the room I was in and ran down the stairs. I was much faster than I thought I was. I ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

I was beautiful! My long layered brown hair slithered down my back in curls. My lips were the perfect size, and my skin was pale. I touched my face, it was like stone. The only thing that frightened me was my eyes. Their crimson glow bore deep into my skin as I stared at them in the mirror.

"This needs to be fixed. I'm thirsty," I ran out of the bathroom and heard voices in the kitchen. I fixed my hair and my dress, and everything that I could. After I was done, I walked into the kitchen. I opened the door, and there in front of me was Alice, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, and Edward.

I looked all of their faces, and then into Edward's eyes.

"Um, how do I look?" I was glad I had my voice.

"Oh darling, you look beautiful! Welcome to the family!" Esme walked over to hug me and I hugged her er back.

"Yeah, little sis!" Emmett walked over and pulled me into a bear hug.

"Yay! We can go shopping now that you're awake!" Alice came over to hug me. Everyone else embraced me and said congratulations until it was Edward's turn. Edward walked up to me and pulled me into a kiss. He was more enthusiastic, now that we didn't have to be careful. After he was done, he hugged me and whispered in my ear.

"You are beautiful, and you are my Bella. Welcome home." He pulled away and smiled and I felt like I could cry.

"Thank you guys so much! I love you all!" I gave everyone a hug again, and then Edward took my hand and we ran upstairs. We sat down on the bed in his room.

"Bella, you really are beautiful. I am so glad you are awake now. I feel like it's been centuries since I've heard you speak." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Edward, I've been waiting to see your face in what seems like milleniums. I love you so much Edward." We hugged again and I pulled away. "Edward, I'm thirsty, we need to go hunting."

"Oh yes, hunting. Well, it's dark, so we could go now, if you wanted to?"

"Just as long as you come with me," I replied with a smile.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world, beautiful." I smiled and he smiled back.

"Let's go." We ran down the steps and out the door. Edward took me to our meadow, and we sat down in the woods.

"We have to stay hidden, until an animal walks out. Then, when they've turned their head you run straight for them and your instincts will do the rest. Now go, there's a deer in perfect position."

The deer's head was turned, and I was running as fast as I could toward it. When I was close enough to touch it, I leaped up in the air and landed on the deer. My lips were at its neck, and I was finished. It had all happened so fast, I didn't even know how I did it.

I heard Edward clapping. "Good job, Bella. That's the best I've ever seen for a newborn."I smiled and walked over to him. We did more hunting, and when my eyes were golden, we left the field. We ran fast to the house, and through the back door into the kitchen.

"Bella honey, you have a visitor!" Something shot at throat, it got really scratchy and hot. My nose was tingling with a smell I've never smelt before. Edward took my hand and we walked into the front room.

There in front of me was Charlie.
