I could hear faint voices in my ears. Calling for someone ….

I wanted so bad to shut the voices out, but they kept on ringing in my ears.

"Robert… Robert…."

Instead of listening to that annoying voice, I decided to shut everything out.

I stopped my breathing and my train of thought.

I would have continued on like this, but I felt a tightening in my chest. I could feel my face form a slight frown as the tightening turned into a dull burning feeling. I was starting to feel uncomfortable now and began grasping what felt like cotton sheets in both hands. Were the sheets supposed to feel this rough under my stone like hands? Weren't they supposed to feel smoother?

My side thought was abruptly stopped when chest buckled and I reflexively gasped for air as my eyes flew open in surprise.

What the hell was happening?!

"Robert!! Oh my Gosh! Are you ok?" I heard a familiar voice ask me. In fact it sounded very familiar….

"Geez Rob!! You freakin' scared the crap out of me!! Why the hell would you jump out in front of a car and not move out of the way, dammit!"

My fluttering eyes rolled over to the voice beside me and I almost screamed in shock.

Bella.

My Bella.

It was exactly my Bella before she was turned into a….. Vampire.

What the hell?

I tried to push myself up to get a better look, I guessed that it would take awhile for my perfect vision to catch up with this madness, but as I moved my arms, I felt an unnatural pull that seemed to begin from within my skin. I looked down to find several needles protruding out from my arms. All of which lead to an IV. My eyes bulged.

"Robert! Lay back down! The doctor is coming." Bella said franticly as she watched my jerky movements.

"Bella… Bella what's going on?" I asked, completely confused.

"Oh my Gawsh… Robert… what did you just call me?" Bella stared deep into my eyes with shock covering every aspect of her face.

"Bella. You're… Bell…a……." It suddenly snapped for me. Everything that had happened before I had gotten here.

The crash.

The void.

Robert.

Asura.

I watched dizzily as a man in white entered the room as Bell… or whoever that girl was, began talking to him in panic.

"He called me freakin' BELLA!!! Are you sure he doesn't have a concussion?!" she nearly screamed.

"Calm down Ms. Stewart, I'm sure he is just a little fuzzy. It's nothing serious. Only a few bruises and a broken leg and arm." He said sternly.

"But he called me Bella! Bella!!"

"Calm down Ms. Stewart and let me talk to him." The doctor said as he rolled his eyes and turned to me. "Mr. Pattinson? Can you hear me alright?" He asked carefully. I nodded in response. "Good! Now is there still any part of you that hurts?"

"No." I said, trying out my voice. It was weak and thick as if I had been asleep for a very long time.

"Good! Good! Well, seeing as how you are all patched up, I think you can sign out if you'd like!"

"Sure."

"Yes well, I'll send a nurse in to help you get dressed; and don't worry, I'm sure she will be well behaved and have no cameras what so ever with her." He added with a chuckle.

"I'll make sure she doesn't." The Stewart girl whispered to me, but still loud enough for the doctor to hear.

Why the hell would a nurse bring a camera to help me change?

Oh yeah… I'm a movie star. Right?

XXXX

Having the… nurse change me, was what I would imagine being the equivalent to being frisked in slow motion.

She was way to close to me during the entire process.

Her hands sometimes lingered on certain parts of my body and grabbed others (no, not THAT part - you perv - . But close).

I could swear she ran her fingers up and down the length of my body. Twice. When I didn't have my shirt on.

Really the only thing that disturbed me from being violated in a hospital was that the nurse was no younger than fifty.

As we came out of the room with me in a wheel chair, the Stewart girl, whom I learned to be Kristen, insisted that she take me to car waiting for us outside of the hospital. The nurse begrudgingly surrendered (thank GOD!) and Kristen wheeled me to the elevator.

"Are you really feeling ok Rob? You seemed really out of it when you woke up." She said worriedly as we made our way down to the lobby.

"Yes. I… I just need some time to get… accustomed I think." I said quietly more so to myself than her.

"Accustomed? To your own body?" She snorted, "Really Rob. You were only out for a few hours." She smiled teasingly down at me.

I smiled back, but not before I noticed something vital. She said 'To your own body.' But that was just it. This wasn't my body. This was Robert Pattinson's body. I was just a temporary resident. A new wave of shock entered me (or Robert… or… whoever!) as we entered the lobby to sign out.

I noticed, as I signed my name, two large men stand on either side of us and greeted Kristen and I.

"Hey guys." Kristen said brightly. "Ugh. It's going to be brutal trying to get through that, huh?" She nodded toward the door where hundreds of people who were screaming and yelling with cameras were trying to break through the arms of the police that kept them from barging through the door.

"We, have to get through…. That?" I asked hoarsely.

Kristen raised an eyebrow at me.

"Were you expecting anything less?"

I just stared through the glass panels at what seemed to be our oncoming demise as Kristen pushed us forward with the two men at our sides.

As we made our way out, the shouting became louder and louder.

When we finally went through the last door, the noise was deafening as multiple microphones were shoved into my face with random people asking random questions.

Through all that chaos, I noticed a bit of sunlight, actual direct sunlight was touching my skin. I quickly flinched back from it. I didn't want anyone to know that I was a vampire….

Another realization hit me.

I wasn't a vampire anymore.

I wasn't…. a vampire…....

Not a… Vampire.

I hesitantly placed my hand back into the sunlight and looked at it carefully. There was no abnormal shimmer as if I had diamond embedded skin. Instead, it just looked a bit brighter because of the light. I looked around in awe to see if anyone else had noticed my skin in the sunlight, and for the first time in a long time. They hadn't.

Something else had dawned on me. The ache in my throat that I had long since grown accustom to, was gone. And for the first time in over a century, I could actually feel my heart beat.

…….Robert's heart beat.

Even still, it felt good.

I felt good with the body I was in.

Half of me was still marveling as Kristen helped me into the car. The other half was wondering how Robert was handling his new life…
