A/N:I'm baaack! Here's chap 4. Enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Sinking
"Bella, do you want to become a vampire? Wait, before you answer. Do you know what that will entail? You will have a thirst for blood—"
"I would drink animal blood, like you," I interrupted.
"Yes, of course, but there is no turning back if you do this. You will live for all eternity. Are you prepared for that?" he asked me in all seriousness.
"If that's what I have to do to be with Edward, I'll do it."
"What about the pain, Carlisle? You haven't told her that for—"
I interrupted Marianne, "For three days I'd be in excruciating pain. It's like burning alive." I shivered at the memory.
"Bella, have you felt pain such as that before?" Carlisle asked.
I nodded and explained about my run in with James, the evil vampire who tried to kill me last year. I to them that James bit me and how Edward saved me.
Marianne took a deep breath after I had finished and said, "He must really love you."
I blushed and nodded.
Silence fell over the room for a while and Carlisle asked, "Would you like me to change you?"
I looked at him shocked, "Wh-what?"
"Would you like me to—?"
He was cut short by a terrible shudder. I took me all of two second to realize what it was. "The iceberg."
I cannot even begin to describe what happened on the Titanic. You've seen the movie you know what happens. I'll restart the story to where Bella, Carlisle, and Marianne are in the lifeboat and about to board the Carpathia in Bella's POV. (the ship that came to help Titanic)
Carlisle, Marianne, and I sat in a lifeboat with sixty other lucky passengers. I was freezing, but that was nothing compared to what I felt inside. I had just watched the Titanic sink. I watched how it split in half and crush hundreds of people under its weight. And how the Titanic's other half dragged people down with it. I heard all of those people's cries after the ship was completely submerged.
I covered my ears and shut my eyes tight to tears wouldn't fall out. Marianne was rubbing my back trying to comfort me. She was taking this a lot better than I was. Carlisle was just in a daze. It must be a shock to him to see that I was telling the truth.
We saw the Carpathia's rockets over the horizon a little after four o'clock in the morning. We started to board just as the sun was rising. There were only about seventy survivors. We found a place out of the sun to sit and for me to rest. We had to put blankets over Carlisle and Marianne's heads to keep the sun from exposing them.
It took two days and two nights for the Carpathia to reach New York. When we got of her (ships are girls, I'm referring to the Carpathia) there was a sea of people. I assume they were family of the people on board, but most were reporters.
Carlisle had already set up a place to stay and Marianne was planning to tour New York City and then move on to Boston. She promised to stay until after I was turned, so she could see me and come help me through the pain. Apparently Carlisle offer still stood. I was glad of it. I told her to come and see me anytime. And after saying her goodbyes she went to see the Statue of Liberty.
Carlisle took me to his hotel room and as I walked in Carlisle whipped over to me and sunk his fangs into my neck.
Sorry this was so short! I hate short chapters too, don't worry. I tried to be a accurate as possible for this, did research and everything. (very little research, but who needs to know that...?)
Review. Thanx.
