Chapter 8: The Newborn

~*2 Days Later*~

Bella POV

The pain was dying, the fire ceasing. I wondered what it would be like after my heart stopped beating. I knew there wasn't much tie left; my heart was beating twice per minute. I was counting the seconds there nothing much to do when time seemed to tick by slower than anything imaginable. Then it stopped I could hear no heart beat, just the sounds of the ditch I crashed into. I debated on opened my eyes but I knew it had to come eventually. I opened my eyes to be expecting nothing special but then I was surprised. I could make out every detail around me. I looked around taking in everything I looked to my right and saw Mia just sitting there eyes closed like she was meditating or in a trance. But then a scent hit me. It was sweet and smelt very floral…I wanted it. My throat started burning immensely. I let out a growl that startled Mia and me. She immediately jumped me pinning me to the ground.

"You don't want that," she warned me. "It would be like drinking cotton balls or something. It is stale blood." She told me straight out. But I kept struggling against her. I eventually gave up as she coaxed me back to normal state. "Better?" she asked still lying on top of me. The fire was still in my throat but nothing like before when I wanted…blood. The thought of wanting something when I was human that made me faint was slightly terrifying.

"What happened?" I asked. I was shocked by the sound of my own voice. It was musically perfect. Mia laughed at the expression that I probably had on my face.

"You my friend wrapped my car around a tree trunk going over 100 miles and hour to get away from Victoria. You nearly died you lost a lot of blood from the impact so I bit you." She seemed upset about it but I wanted to hug her for it. She had made my life a whole lot easier. "I'm guessing you're hungry." I focused back on the burning in my throat. I nodded. "Alright," she pulled me to my feet and stood there waiting for something to happen I had no idea what to do. We stood there for about five minutes. "Did the Cullen's teach you anything about hunting or becoming and vampire?" she asked a little annoyed. I just shook my head. Edward never wanted me to be a vampire in the first place, he also said that when they hunt their senses take over and they aren't who they are. Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. I hoped I could snap out of it before I hurt someone or something. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Ok I want you to let your senses go a focus on your surrounds." It sounded stupid but then again she learned from Carlisle when hunting animals. I focused on the sounds of the forest and could hear five faint heart beats. "Do you hear them?" she asked. I nodded. "Well then go for it. Follow it, instincts should do the rest." I was slightly hesitant but listen and began running. I barely noticed the speed all I cared about was those heart beats. The smell was growing stronger too. I didn't know what it was until I saw it. Everything was so new to me. I lunged at what I knew was five deer. I lunged at the smaller one closest to me. I snapped its neck and started drinking its warm blood. Its taste was sweet and soothing as it soothed the fire. But it wasn't enough. When I finished with the first I ran after the other four that ran off chasing them down one by one. After the fifth one I don't think I could my stomach anymore. I could hear laughter somewhere and I looked up into one of the trees and let out a hiss. Mia's face went blank and terrified. Her scared face brought me back to my senses. I felt like a monster for scaring her. She had done nothing but help me and here I am hissing at her. I was a monster. I couldn't control myself. I broke down a sat on the forest floor crying. I couldn't shed the tears I was trying to. "You know its not going to be easy," Mia said sitting next to me, "Being a vampire."

"I know," said. "I just feel like a monster, I hissed at you for gods sakes!" I didn't look at her I played with I leaf in front of me which broke when I picked it up. I was too strong to even pick up a leaf.

"Trust me you're the most behaved new born I have ever seen. Even Teri and Peter had at least taken a few snaps at me by now. You are going to be alright the first year is going to be hard. Though you lost a lot of blood there is still some in your body it is going to take a while for it to disappear."

"How am I going to go back to Forks like this? A newborn would be a lot to throw at Edward. And Charlie, Oh great Charlie," I fell back to lie on back and look up at the cloudy sky. I thought about my affects of being a vampire on my family and friends.

"We can handle Charlie," She said confidently.

"How?"

"Easy I find a cop's outfit go to his house and say your crappy ass car finally went and you were in it when the car fire started. The doors or window wouldn't open and you got cooked alive. There was nothing left." I looked at her horrified.

"You had a lot of time planning that didn't you?" She shrugged.

"I had two days, after I knew you were going to live through the change I didn't need to focus on keeping your heart pumping." We were quiet after that. I wanted to learn to be calm, to be normal, that way I could go back to Forks without having anyone needing to 'train' me.

"Mia?"

"Yea?"

"Will you teach me about being a vampire?"

"I will but don't you want your boyfriend to teach you rather than a complete stranger?"

"I really don't think you're a stranger I was on a road trip with you. Edward never wanted me to be a vampire if anything I want to be a tame and completely free of attacking for human blood."

"You know how long that will take?" she was being very straight out.

"Yes, but I'm prepared to wait until I control this monster in me." I wasn't but I was willing if she would teach me.

"Fine when do you want to start this training?" She asked caving in to my request.

"Right now."

Edward POV

Still nothing, no sign of Bella. I believed she was dead now we all did, but we were still hanging onto hope that she could come back to us. We were all staying away from each other locked in our own rooms. Carlisle still went to work but school was done for us and college was still approaching. None of us wanted to go. We were planning on doing a country wide search for Bella we just had to find her for at least some closure. The door bell rang something that never happened. We all ran down stairs. Esme had answered the door with Carlisle behind her.

"Victoria?" Esme said shocked. Carlisle pushed Esme behind him ready to protect her. There was Victoria standing there with her fire red hair and a handful of newborns behind her.

"Relax, I promise no harm here. What I'm after isn't here." She seemed pleased with herself. "I came here to give you peace of mind." She remained standing in the door way.

"And what peace of mind might that be?" Carlisle asked keeping a level head. I couldn't say the same for everyone else including myself. The new born handed her a rag or some sort of clothing. She tossed it at me and scent hit me like a ton of bricks.

"Bella," I looked at what I knew was now a sweater was covered in dried blood. "What did you do?" I growled at her. She laughed.

"I didn't do anything to your precious human. All I did was watch her die very peacefully I might add." everyone let out a snarl. She raised her hands as to silence us. "I didn't have any hand in her death she did that all on her own. No human should drive over a hundred miles and hour and then slam herself into a tree. I'm afraid that little immortal child keeper of a vampire made it. She is the one who pulled your precious human out of the mashed car." Bella was with another vampire? Immortal child keeper? What was going on? Carlisle had a blank look on his face plus he was blocking his thoughts.

"What did this other vampire do?" I asked. Victoria had a big smile on her face.

"Would you like to see what happened mind reader?" she asked. She began to think about Bella lying on the ground covered in blood and glass the girl with dark golden eyes staring over her trying to stop the bleed. "As you might guess there was no heart beat and no one like's blood that isn't being pumped through the veins." Bella was officially dead. Alice started dry sobbing and Esme was to. I couldn't believe it. She was gone…forever. "As for the non-mind readers the other vampire tried to bring her back but even the living dead can't bring back the dead."

"I suggest you leave Victoria," Carlisle said. He was ready to slam the door in her face, but he was showing the best control he could.

"Very well," she turned with her little army and walked away. That was it, she was gone. No longer a threat now that Bella was gone. Carlisle slammed the door and took Esme in his arms who was clearly going to collapse any minute and brought her to the sofa.

*~ Another Two Days ~*

Mia POV

I can't believe I was doing this. I was going to tell Bella's father that she was dead when she wasn't. She was actually sitting in a living room in a ski cabin up in Canada being 'annoyed to death' by seven year old immortal brother and my parents for all intensive purposes. I had dressed in a cop suit that we had 'rented' from a local town police station not far from the accident. They would have record of the accident eventually incase Charlie went snooping but I didn't think Charlie was a snooping person. I walked up to the house in which it took forever to get Bella to remember the address. Her memories were fading but the ones of Edward weren't. The house was small but I have seen worse. I could see the cruiser outside and another older looking truck. I didn't remember Bella saying Charlie had another car. Maybe a friend was over; if he collapsed it would be alright. I stepped up the steps in my hand had a forged death certificate and in my pocket the map quest directions to get here. I suck at directions I needed a little help sometimes. I also had a box in the car I had rented, I had box with a jar of fake ashes from a fire place. Just incase he wanted to proof. I knocked on the door and I could hear the sounds of a baseball game on television or radio. The door was opened by what I guessed Charlie. He looked like a simple middle aged man who in no doubt was going to hitting his mid-life crisis soon.

"How may I help you?" he asked. He seemed alright, but broken at the same time.

"Chief Charlie Swan?" I asked politely. I guess this how it's supposed to go. A nice cop comes to the door step and tells you your only kid is dead.

"Yes that's me." I took a deep breath and began.

"Chief Swan earlier this week we found you daughter car on the side of the road." He looked at me with a blank stare of hope to bad I was going to crash it.

"You found her?" Here comes the breaking.

"I'm sorry Chief Swan the car was found burned to a husk and we found your daughters ashes in the drivers' seat. We connected you to the license plate." I handed him the death certificate." I cloud hear glass break in my head as his face turn from hope to horror.

"Charlie, are you alright?" a man in a wheelchair came down the hall behind him. That must be Billy I thought. Charlie handed him a certificate in shock.

"Where is the rest of her?" he asked. Okay this took a turn I wasn't ready for but I was prepared for.

"In the car sir."

"Would you take it to the funeral home in town I can't," I could see the tears coming from his eyes down his checks.

"Of course sir, anything for a fellow officer," I said. I don't know what to say next. They need a book 'Acting like a Cop for Dummies'.

"Thank you," he shut the door in my face. I ran to car giving him the privacy I wanted to get away from the memories he was thinking. They were painful but things like this have to be done for a newborn to give their family closure. I went off to the funeral home. I dropped off the box with the jar of fake ashes. The people were shocked. I didn't know if I handled this right. Then I ditched the cop outfit and slipped into a blue long skirt, a peasant top, a pink flip flops. Very subtle...not, but very comfy I like natural stuff. I drove on a secret trip to Forks hospital.

Carlisle POV

I had to get away from the house. The misery was affecting me and my paper work wasn't getting any better by sitting home. I sat in my office again after I finished my rounds. I wasn't waiting for a phone call from Mia anymore. I flipping through my work but it was too hard to concentrate. My family was destroyed; nothing was the same with out Bella.

"I need to see Dr. Cullen!" a voice said. "It is a family emergency." It stated. I know that voice.

"And who are you?" a nurse asked. "You shouldn't even be here."

"I'm Dr. Cullen's niece thank you very much." Well that was a confirmation. I got up from my desk and open the door. There were two nurses and a security guard cornering her. She was taking a defensive stance. I knew they shouldn't mess with her.

"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. The crowd broke around Mia as she regained herself.

"This girl is claiming she is your niece sir," the guard stated. I and Mia didn't look anything alike except for our eyes.

"Of course she is I'm sorry for the trouble," I walked over to her placed an arm around her and led to her to my office. When I had the door shut I turned to her as she attacked me with a hug.

"It's so good to see you again," she smiled up at me. I returned her hug and she released me and sat in the chair in front of my desk I took my place at my desk. "I wish this was a better circumstance, I know you probably did your best with Bella." I said.

"I did in fact that's why I am here."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm finishing staging Bella's 'death' and thought I drop by," she quoted the air on the word death.

"Staging?" I asked her.

"You really think she is dead?" What she mean that I really thought she was dead? Bella was gone.

"But Alice's vision and Victoria with the sweater," I stated. She laughed.

"You are going to trust scum like her? Not Alice I mean Victoria." Then it hit me.

"You bit her?" I whispered. She bit her lip.

"Guilty as charged, did you really think I was just going to let her die?" A hope filled me.

"I guess not, I raised you in vampire ways better than that I guess. Where is she?"

"Up in Canada learning to control herself," she said. "She wants to be in complete control. She has an amazing handle on it already but she wants complete control. I don't know what's going on in her head." Same old stubborn Bella I thought.

"When is she coming back?" I asked.

"I will promise you one year. I'll give you an exact date me and her have both agreed on with my coven of course."

"You're leader of this coven?" She laughed.

"A second in command you could say, now about this date," she continued.

"Yes, when?"

"September 13th, I promise you see will be back here with your family by then."

"My family will be ecstatic or they will think I'm crazy." She laughed and I laughed with her. "Well if Alice will see it I guess they won't."

"I wish you luck with that Carlisle but try and keep it a surprise from Edward. I and Bella have a little plan," these two were going to be trouble together.

"He might kill himself before then," I warned. "He tried to go the Volturi once already, but we locked him in the basement until he calmed down. Esme couldn't lose another one her children." She thought for a minute.

"Then tell him you must, but try say an angel will visit or something. I know there is that creative person in still there behind that lab coat and the mile high paper work." I laughed.

"I will try," she got up getting ready to leave.

"My plane leaves soon I want to make it. I have a lot of work ahead of me if she wants to be ready by that certain date," her human birthday, nice twist to the situation. I stood up with her embracing her once more.

"Until next year then, you will bring Peter?" she nodded.

"He is going to flip out that I saw you first. The little bugger is competitive."

"I'm sure it's hereditary." She laughed and walked toward the door. She stopped and looked back at me.

"See you in a year Uncle Carlisle," she laughed, "still not used to it." She opened the door and walked out the door. One year, my family could live for one year right?

Well? What you think? I'm debating on writing about the year or just skipping to the whole dramatic part
