A/N:That only took forever. I had to read Twelfth Night (Shakespear) in a weekend. Sorry it took so long!

Inferno
I woke up in a daze. A shock went through my body when the pain registered. The burning started at my neck and spread through out my entire being, mind, body and soul. To my unfortunate dismay I didn't slip into unconsciousness as I had hoped. I was completely aware and alert through the entire thing. I did my best to keep quite but every now and then I would scream. I did all I could to muffle it with a pillow, but the scream was still incredibly loud. Or maybe my senses were just being heightened.
I couldn't tell what day it was or how long I had left in the transformation. The days just blurred together. Carlisle was with me the whole time. He seemed to act guilty for what he did. I had no idea why. I told him I wanted this.
I opened my eyes to the sunrise. I felt strangely wonderful. I felt like I could run a marathon or something. Though I'd probably fall. Never mind.
Fingers touched my back. Carlisle. "I am so sorry, Bella. I know my repentance is unforgivable. But please forgive me."
"Forgive you?" I didn't understand.
"I lost control. I attacked you, Bella. I hadn't fed since we left England. I was alright outside, but when we were in an enclosed space…your scent and yo-your blood pumping through your veins… it drove me mad," he stammered. "I lost control, it will never happen again."
The memories played out in my mind. Carlisle attacking me, feeling shocked and pained, whispering his name so he would stop, Carlisle stopping abruptly and him repeating over and over again, "What have I done? What have I done?"
"Oh," I said stupidly. There was nothing else to say. Then I remembered, "Of course I forgive you, Carlisle. This is what I wanted. I can live to see Edward now."
"I thank you immensely for your kindness and understanding. Please, If you will, tell me more about Edward and the rest of my family," Carlisle asked me.
