(The boy's POV)

I knew I woke up, a dull pain started to throb in my whole body, but I couldn't move…Somehow I knew that would hurt as hell… and it did. As soon as I tried to breathe in it felt like there was liquid fire running through my veins. Nonetheless, I didn't stop even if the pain was excruciating.

I heard someone stood up and walked over to me, and then a cold hand was placed on my shoulder, surprisingly soothing…

"Are you awake?" A voice ringed in my ears, way to hard causing me to cover my ears, but I didn't.

The voice was like velvet, soft and worried.

'Yes' I answered in my mind, unable to speak.

Not that it would help anything.

"Good, so how do you feel? Does it hurt?" The velvet voice answered, and I jumped…well, not literally, but I was very surprised.

My eyes shot open and blinked a few times, because the torturing pain flared up again. After a few seconds the fire ebbed away and I could focus on my surroundings.

The person, to whom the velvet voice belonged, was tall. Bronze coloured hair, topaz coloured eyes, a very pale skin. A face that could belong to an angel, but his face stood anxious.

'It hurts, yeah.' I replied in my mind.

He could read thoughts, that was clear, because he nodded in answer.

Other voices broke through my daze and I looked around. Three other people were watching me, two stunningly beautiful, like the one next to me, and one slightly…different.

"What's your name?" The one next to me asked.

"J-Julian." I finally tried to use my mouth, testing my voice and if it would hurt to much, but it was bearable.

"I'm Edward." He said and was about to address the others, but I was distracted.

I had started breathing again and a delicious scent hit my nose. A need came up, instinctively. My eyes darted to the source of the smell. It was the girl that was different. My body tensed and wanted to sit up.

Edward felt this and pushed my body down with his hand, but my body seemed to be stronger.

"Bella, sit as still as possible!" He commanded the girl and she 'changed' into a statue.

I stopped my breathing again and clutched the mattress as if life dependant on it. I felt the torturing fire was high again, flaring up with every movement, but the need to bite her was higher and soon the pain was back to the throbbing ache it was from the moment I woke up. My eyes closed and concentrated on thoughts.

'I can't bite! I'll never kill a human! Never! I can't, I won't!' I started to repeat as a mantra in my head.

It felt like ages when the need finally started to slowly seep to the background. My eyes opened again and I saw Edward look at me with a stunned expression, his hand hesitantly in the air as if he wanted to hold me again when I would lash out.

I felt my hands loose from whatever I was holding, but my hands were held tight around something soft. I looked as I sat up slowly, it were pieces of the mattress, the foam and the sheets… I had ripped it off… I let it go and stared at my hands.

They were pale white and hard, like granite and I could tell by the mattress that I was strong.

Then my look shot up to the still 'statue'-like girl.

"I'm sorry." I said and dropped my gaze in my lap.

"Don't be," She replied and I looked up in her softly smiling face. "I'm used to vampires."

Realization hit me, I was a vampire… The strong need for blood, the hard, pale skin, the strong senses.

"Yes, you are a vampire." Edward confirmed my thoughts.

The beautiful girl at the table jumped up and skipped over, like she was dancing.

"Welcome to the family!" She said happily, a big smile on her angelic face.

She had the same pale skin, the same eyes as Edward, but she had black hair, messy and short. She was kinda small, but still very pretty.

"The family?" I asked confused.

"The Cullen's, like Edward, Jasper and me, Alice!" She said in a melodious voice. "And there's also Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmet and Bella!"

"Bella?" I asked, the girl at the table was definitely part of the group, but she was no vampire, I was sure of that.

"Mhm! She's Edward's girlfriend, so part of the family!" She smiled and ignored an annoyed look from Edward. "So you're Julian…How old are you?"

"Sixteen…I think." I wouldn't know if me being a vampire would affect my age.

"It won't." Came Edward's reply, and I grinned sheepishly.

I looked around the room, we were in a hotel room… the simple paintings and furniture were proof. I had a flashback of what happened before my mind got black. The back of the hotel, the bullies, the new strange voices… the ice-cold hands and pain.

"Who saved me?" I asked suddenly.

"I would rather say, doomed you…" Edward's voice came from my left. It couldn't be him, he was so skeptic.

"I…did." Alice spoke up, her eyes dark and her voice uncertain.

I looked at her, a smile settling on my face. She saved my life, even if that meant living as a bloodthirsty creature. "Thank you."

She looked confused at me. "You are okay with it? Even if I caused you all that pain and your transformation?" I nodded.

"How did you restrain your bloodlust?" Edward asked suddenly, he had probably heart my bloodthirsty comment…

"I… don't really know. Guess I really don't want to kill."

The boy at the table looked up, shocked. "He restrained himself?" He asked unbelieving. "I thought you held him."

"That wouldn't stop his lust, you know that."

"Did I do something wrong? Should I have bitten her?" I asked confused, why did they make such a big deal of it?

"No!" Edward gasped, the rest stared at me, incredulously. "It's just amazing, no other newborn was ever able to stop himself or herself from biting someone!"

"Oh." I answered for leak of better words. I saw Jasper, Alice had pointed to him when she had said his name, fuming, why I didn't know. The rest stared at Edward.
