A/N: ok, ok I know it's been ages since I posted, but I have had so much going on and it'd take forever to tell you. So...where were we?...oh yeah. Bracken told everyone her only cure was to be turned by a vampire and become a werevamp, Alice turned her and after 3 days in hell for her, Bracken awoke a brand new shiny werevamp. Now, what will happen next?
Chapter Nine: This is only the beginning
Everyone noticed the change in Bracken with happiness, Alice was the happiest of them all. Carlisle spent hours in the study filling nessicary paperwork, Esme fussed around the house cleaning. Emmett sat crossed legged in front of the T.V playing halo on his Xbox, without turning away from the screen he asked "What was it like, being turned?". Everyone looked shocked at Emmett's less than tactful question and blunt and casual way he'd asked, the transformation was definitely hard on Bracken and so everyone had made a silent promise to each other to leave the subject alone... everyone but Emmett. Bracken looked around at everyone's shocked expressions and giggled quietly "relax guys, Emmett has asked a fair question". Emmett smiled and nodded at everyone "see, fair question". Bracken nodded and took a deep breath "it was horrible...actually horrible isn't the word to describe what I went though, there is no word to describe" Bracken shook her head. Everyone watched as Bracken carried on, her happy expression dropped "you body burns from the inside out, you have an ache in your heart so bad that you know the only way to stop it is to remove it, so you do...with your hands. But you know its wrong so as well as trying to dig out your own heart your trying to tear your arm off to stop it, your muscles have a life of their own, your limbs start throwing themselves all over. Once all that is over...the pain I mean, the burning continues. It's relentless, and it goes on for what seams like forever. You can't see, and you can't hear much, you lose all sense of time.
Everyone stared at Bracken in shock at what Bracken had said, Alice would have cried if she was still able to. Bracken cupped her cheek with her hand and smiled at her lovingly "but everything I went through, the heat and the pain, none of it mattered to me...because my only thought was you". Alice smiled and kissed Bracken "I love you" she whispered, Edward shook his head and stood abruptly. Everyone watched Edward with disgust as he stormed out of the house and ran off into the forest, while everyone was angered by Edwards reactions to Bracken, Bracken knew why Edward was acting this way...and understood. Bracken smiled at everyone "he needs time to come to terms with all this, his mind and values are still in the early nineteen hundreds", Emmett growled and stood "excuse me" he said quietly before he raced out of the house.
Emmett raced after Edward, stopping when he found him in a small clearing, sitting on a fallen tree. Emmett walked up behind him and grabbed the back of his shirt, slamming him over and over against a tree nearby. Edward tried pulling out of Emmett's grasp, Emmett held firm and slammed him harder, splitting the tree. "Stop being a prick!" Emmett yelled, Edward pulled out of Emmett's grasp and moved away from him "Alice has gone against everything that's right" he replied calmly. Emmett stepped back, shocked that his brother believed his own words "you really mean it". Edward straightened his shirt and nodded "of course, you can't tell me this is right Emmett. It must be stopped, Alice should never have turned Bracken". Emmett shock his head "so Bracken should have been left to die?", Edward looked away, refusing to answer. Emmett growled "Bracken fought her own brother to save Bella, without asking for a thank you off us. We owe her, you owe her"
Edward turned away from Emmett, he knew Emmett was right but the words would not come to his mouth. Emmett kept watching Edward, not taking his eyes off him for a second. Finally after what seamed like hours, Edward looked up at Emmett with a broken expression "Emmett... I... I can't, I'm sorry but this still feels wrong to me". Emmett threw his hands up in frustration "what about Alice? She's your sister for Christ's sake, Bracken is a part of us now, the venom bonds us together". Edward shook his head "it's still wrong, and it's my opinion...I'm sorry", Emmett realised that no amount of talking right now would convince Edward that his way is wrong. Emmett shook his head slowly and sadly, looking at Edward one more time before walking out of the clearing at human pace. As soon as he was out of the clearing he raced to the house, stopping in the middle of the living room he looked at everyone sadly. Bracken stood up and nodded "It's ok Emmett, thank you for trying. But this is something that Edward has to come to terms with on his own".
Silence filled the room as the youngsters looked at each other, unsure what to say to make the situation better. Bracken walked to the 52" T.V and picked up the two X-Box controllers, throwing one to Emmett "come on, I'm gonna kick your ass at Halo". Everyone watched in amazement as Bracken and Emmett erased all the tension with a simple computer game. Everyone relaxed instantly and watched Bracken and Emmett compete in computer game after computer game. Alice smiled as she saw Bracken bonding closely with Emmett, Jasper started teasing the loser, who was always Emmett. Alice, Rosalie and Bella laughed as Emmett got angrier and angrier at Jaspers taunting. Bella could see Emmett swearing under his breath, Bracken finally let Emmett win after beating him for two hours straight. Emmett stood up stretching theatrically "well after sitting down for two hours I need to go lift some weights" and ran off at vampire speed, Alice dragged Bella off for yet another makeover, much to Bella's protests. Rosalie went off to see what Esme was doing, leaving Jasper and Bracken alone in the room. Jasper moved to sit closer to Bracken who suddenly looked nervous being left alone with the man whose wife she basically stole.
"Bracken, there is no need to be nervous around me anymore" Jasper said in a calming voice "I have no ill will towards you". Bracken relaxed at hearing those words but still spoke in soft whispers she knew only the two of them would hear "I thought you would, I thought out of everyone in this family, you would be the one to hate me the most for what I have done". Jasper smiled reassuringly at Bracken "and what did you do exactly? Rescue Bella and get yourself nearly killed and disowned for it? Hide your illness from the ones you have grown to care about? Make Alice happier than I can ever make her? Bracken I and the rest of the family can never hate you for what you have done and brought to the family" Bracken looked confused at Jaspers words " I don't understand what you mean, and why does Edward hate me if I have done nothing to hurt the family?", Jasper sighed "Edward is old fashioned, he is afraid of things that are new and different. But you are our family now whether he likes it or not, you are our sister now". With those words left in the air, Jasper stood up and walked off at human pace to work out with Emmett in the gym. Bracken was left stunned and happy at getting complete acceptance from everyone...everyone except Edward.
A/N2: might not upload another chapter till after Christmas day, like 27th or something. I'll try and get another chapter up quickly, but I'm kinda having trouble linking ideas right now. Got some big stuff coming up but I need small things to like them up. Any ideas? Anything you want to happen? Let me know and I'll see if I can stick it in. As always, reviews are love and I love you all
