New Life, Same Purpose

The pain was inevitable, and I've never know it would burn me from inside out. Of course I've experienced the flame before, but the venom had been sucked out before it would transform me then. At the moment, no one was going to stop and take the pain away. I didn't know if I was screaming or not, it wasn't like the pain would go away if I did scream. The pain seemed to increase ten folds as time passed, and for me it was excruciatingly slow. Perhaps Jane was here to control my mind; perhaps my mind was unprotected now. Whatever it was, it was burning me from inside out, and I was still pretty much alive to feel the agonizing flame.

The flame burst more as second ticked by, and I had longed giving in to the pain and stopped struggling against it. There was no use to struggle against the inferno, not when it was burning you yet still keeping you alive. A miracle happened after the long moment of pain, I felt numb; numb to the core. I could only feel my body twitched, but that was the only reaction that I could ever get. The fire had left my body, but it was gathering around my heart; assaulting it. If I thought the pain around my body was painful, then it wouldn't even compete with this pain. How long was I suppose to feel the most intense heart burn that probably ever existed in the history of human kind?

Gradually, my heart beat slowly came to a stop. Was it over? Was I successfully dead? I dared myself to open my eyes, and I thought I was in Heaven, even if everything was black with a little lighting. Even though it was dark, I could see everything so clearly. The clear patterns decorated on the rough wall of the small cave. The droplets of water and the molecules of them in the air. Everything was so beautiful as I gazed at those patterns and molecules in amazement. Did I actually die? The gentle wave of the ocean answered my question, and I know then that I had been changed into a vampire. That was when the thirst burned into me, and my predator instinct took control when I heard a sound nearby. I jumped to my feet and crouched down in a defense position, my lips pulled back to reveal my glistening white teeth as my eyes – that were now blood red – looked around in alert. They landed on a tall man, and instantly a warning snarl rippled out from my mouth.

"Easy now, Bella." The man mused, and I snarled at him again. He looked familiar, but my brain was on auto mode.

"Thirst?" He grinned before blurring out from my sight then reappearing again. Then the scent of blood hit me, and all of my senses were on that particular blood bag. My reflexes were good; better than good when I had successfully caught the bag when he tossed it my way. All coherent thoughts escaped my mind as I sunk my teeth into the bag, sucking out the cold liquid that was satisfying my needs.

I finished the bag within short minutes, but that was enough for me to think clearly. The man that had provided me with blood was Aro, and that blood bag was more likely to be human blood. Realization hit me as my eyes widened in disgust, yet my body didn't react negatively towards it. The blood was sweet when I stopped and reflected back to the taste of it. The one thing that I know was that it satisfied the predator within me. I was disgusted about my thirst, but I know that I couldn't avoid; I could never avoid the inevitable.

"That was human blood that you gave me!" I hardened my gaze at him, but that only got him to be more amused. However, he paid me no mind when he turned his head to the side, his lips parted as he spoke.

"Come see the new Volturi member."

My eyes moved from Aro to look beside him, and I gasped as she came into view. "Alice? What are you doing here?" Shock was the right reaction because I couldn't quite remember what had happened before I was being eaten by the raging flame.

Alice looked at me with guity, and that got me confused. She didn't answer my question and I found myself starting to lose control of my emotion.

"You didn't keep your words." She turned and quickly snarled at Aro. I didn't understand what she meant, but it better be not about swapping the deals.

"She seems to accept the blood bag willingly, and she didn't object the content of it." Aro replied, proving that it wasn't what I had thought of.

"You should hunt for her. I'd doubt that she'd want to taste it again!" Her tone was disapproving, and really she couldn't be any more perfect for worrying about me.

My emotions calmed down but I wasn't relaxed. I still didn't know why she was here, and had she been watching my transformation? I felt myself whimper, and both heads snapped towards me. Aro seemed to hesitate, and I didn't know why. Alice was different, she danced up to me without much of a hesitation and stood before me with a worried look.

"Are you still thirsty, Bella?" She asked, but the look in her eyes all told me that she already knew the answer.

"No." I replied, and she seemed to be relieved.

"That's unusual." It was Aro's turn to speak, so I turned and gave him a questioning look. He caught on, and shook his head with a sigh, before waving his hand at me. "You should be thirst, since that one bag wouldn't be enough for you."

It wouldn't be enough for me? Was I supposed to go on a killing rampage to force the thirst down? I didn't dwell on that much, because I remembered why I was a vampire. My purpose was for Aro and his Volturi member to leave my daughter and family alone. So the sooner we get out of here the better. I looked down on Alice, engraving her soft, beautiful features in my mind in case Aro wanted to brain wash me – not that I know anyone could. She looked back up at me, then her eyes glazed over and I know that she was seeing my decision. I took this advantage to get away.

I blurred past her, grabbed onto Aro's forearm – and nearly ripped it off him – as I dragged him out of the care in less than a second. Because I was a newborn, Aro couldn't keep up with me, and so I was left to go easy on him. That didn't help when Alice caught up to us, and pounced on me so that I would stop. I noticed that she put a lot of strength on that pounce, because I hit the ground after the impact.

"You can't go without saying goodbye." She spoke, and I could tell that she was trying hard not to sob out.

"I don't want to!" I replied stubbornly, but I know this wasn't the time to be stubborn. Already, I felt tears were forming beneath my eyes, but I know that they wouldn't fall.

"Why?" She croaked out while sitting up behind my back. And because I was stronger than her, I easily flipper her over and stood up.

"Because I might see you again." The words left my lips in a quiet whisper, although I know that she would be able to pick that up very easily.

She quickly turned and looked at me, her eyes dazed over for a moment before she beamed at me with that smile that I loved so much, and I realized just how much I loved it so. "Yes! We will meet again!" She confirmed, and I had a bit of hope that I actually will see her again.

"I'll see you…around." Yes, even though she wouldn't be coming to Italy for no apparent reason. Well, the reason would be me, but I didn't want her to use that excuse all the time, but really I would be happy that she would use that excuse whenever she'd visit me, or maybe plan to.

She nodded, and I turned to join Aro by his side. He looked amused, but I know that there was something that he was hiding from me. The feeling that I was receiving every time that his eyes landed on Alice, and they locked gaze like that, they were hiding something that I wasn't suppose to know. Either way, I would find out, soon or less.

"Let's go." Aro said and ran off towards the direction of the city, I think. And as I was going to run after him, I heard Alice said.

"I'll see you tomorrow Bella!"

What the? I quickly turned to see her giggled at me, before disappearing into the woods. What was I going to be doing tomorrow? And why should she be there? I frowned before following Aro's trail towards the city, and I was right, and this was going to be hard. I thought that I would be isolated from the humans for a while, but it looked like I was going to be dealing with them. If that blood bag smelt so good to me, then their fresh blood was going to be smelling more delicious.

"You should be fine." Aro came beside me, and if I was still human I would have jumped. I looked over at him, and raised an eyebrow.

"You fed me human blood, how do you know I would going to be fine?" I asked with a small growl. Despite the fact that I actually liked the blood, it was still unacceptable that he had fed me it without much of my…lack of consent.

"If you can control yourself enough not to go on a rampage, then I think you are going to do well." He chuckled and proceeded towards the hotel that I remembered vaguely that I had been here with Dimitri before. So once the scent of human hit me, I could feel my venom began to drop upon my taste bud. Why did Aro have to test me?

I shot him a glare, which he seemed to be amused about it as we strolled towards the hotel. I had to stop breathing in order to not sniff any of their delicious blood, and go on a rampage. Well, I was in control of myself so that shouldn't be a problem…I hope. The hardest part was when I walked inside the hotel, that was when the stuffy room came into my utter most living nightmare. The room was stuffy in human scent, and I could hear everyone's heart beat and the blood flowing through them. It wasn't a good place for a newborn like me to be in, and Aro was testing beyond my limits. I didn't look twice as Aro as I bolted out the door and into the woods for some fresh air. Dimitri would find me anyway, since he could make out my scent amongst those humans.

I sat myself down on the fallen wooden log, and guffawed up big fresh air so that I would get rid of the human smell. Well, it wasn't like the thirst that the scent had brought in had been extinguished. I sighed and tried to focus on anything but human blood, and how sweet it would taste. All of that thought left me at once when the image of Alice popped in my mind. I smiled inwardly as the image of her breathtaking beautiful face smiled back at me. I guess my lust – or love – for Edward really had blinded me.

"Fancy meeting you here."

I growled when the voice pulled me out from my imagination, and I turned to meet the eyes of Dimitri. "What? It's not like it's hard to find me." I think my changing into a vampire had changed my personality, completely. Or maybe it was the fact that I was invincible now, and that there was no need to be afraid of anyone, let alone Dimitri.

"Feisty, you weren't like this when you were a human." Dimitri chuckled before offering his hand towards me. I looked at his hand, then back up at his face before raising an eyebrow. He got the message and withdrawn his hand as I stood up.

"Things changed, not everything will stay the same." I replied blankly, and he nodded before he walked off to a different direction. I followed him, while thinking back of what I just said. Things were changing, only because I had became a part of the Volturi. Things were changing because I no longer loved Edward. Things were changing, because I had hope that me and Alice might be together, or that just be in my fairy tale, the one that would be keeping me alive while I work for the Volturi.
