2 months later…
It's been two months since the incident with Demetri and we've yet to have another run in with the Volturi. I didn't feel totally safe yet but that would come soon. Carlisle agreed to turn me and make me part of their family. I'm excited and scared at the same time. On the one hand Alice will officially be my sister, I adore her already and she and Jasper are so kind to me and always make me feel welcome. On the other hand I'm afraid of the future. What will happen to me once I become a vampire? I also worry about my memories. Will I forget everything about my life as a human or will I still remember everything? I don't know that I want to remember either. I've felt so much fear in my life recently. Maybe it would be better to forget. Either way, Carlisle will turn me tomorrow. Everything will be different, I hope I don't disappoint everyone, they've risked so much for me.
"Are you ready?" Carlisle asked me as I lay on my bed. Today was it. I was finally going to become a vampire and a true member of the Cullen family. "I'm ready." I spoke with conviction and smiled at Carlisle. I was truly ready to begin my new life with the Cullen's.
Carlisle nodded and gave me the bite. The pain was beyond anything I had ever imagined. My whole body was on fire and I could feel myself screaming but could do nothing to stop it. I didn't want to worry my new family but I really couldn't control myself. The fire lasted for what seemed to be an eternity. When it finally ended I felt so relieved.
When I opened my eyes everything was remarkably clear. I could see everything. The way the sun glinted off my skin distracted me from exploring the rest of my new body. I heard a chuckle from the doorway and snapped my head up to find the source. What I saw took my breath away. Alice stood there looking like those marble statues you see in Greece. She would have taken my breath away if I still needed to breathe.
"I just want to officially welcome you to the Cullen coven Gianna." Alice spoke in her tinkling voice with her radiant smile. I smiled back at her, overtaken by my happiness. It was then that I realized everything was going to be ok. I didn't need to be afraid anymore, I had my family and more importantly Alice to keep me safe and teach me how to be a vampire and protect myself. I vowed then that I would repay them for taking me in and making me part of their family. We would be happy, I would make sure of it.
