A/N I am soooooo sorry for not updating in like a year! So so sorry but I'm gonna get on with it now so I hope you enjoy.

Bella's POV

My hunt was fruitful and I felt that I was surely full enough to change Damon without killing him. It was funny the thought of making a newborn when I was pretty much one myself. My family and I met at the house then proceeded to the clearing near the school.

I started to have second thoughts. What if I killed him? What if I crushed his bones? What if I can't stop biting him? What if I suck him dry? But I pushed them all aside. I had to do this. I won't let my petty thoughts get in the way of saving my best friends life. They really did deserve a chance for a full life. It really sucks thought that this was their last and only resorts though. As much as a Vampire life has its ups, it does have downs.

We entered the clearing and surely enough the twins and Damon where sitting on the tree stumps.
Something hit me though as I looked at Damon that in the moonlight his skin seemed to glow a rich pale white colour and his body seemed much more defined than it did in the fluorescent school lights. I couldn't wait to see what he would look like as a Vampire.

OMG what was I thinking. I was married to Edward. I had his baby for God's sake! Although he did take my baby away from me. He didn't deserve me, not at all.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Marina said something.

"Are we going to do this or not. Coz if we are I'd rather sooner than later." She expressed.

"Oh, of course." I said. "Like we agreed Tanya you take Kally to the North part of the forest near the mountains. Eleazar you take Marina back to the house, she'll be more comfortable there, and Irena you go with them. Kate you'll come with Damon and me down to the east river. Leave your stuff here guys, we'll come back for it later." And with that I wished everyone a good luck and they were gone.

I turned to the both of them but mostly Damon. "Are you ready for this?"

He hesitated for a second but then came his final answer. "As ready as I'll ever be."

And with that I put him on my back and Kate and I has a kind of race to the river just to show Damon what it was like to flit, which what the correct term for the fast running that vamps do, or so I was told.

We made it there in no time and we made a kind of make shift bed for Damon to get comfortable on out of the leaves from the near trees. You could tell he was tired because his eyelids where getting heavy even though he as struggling to stay awake.

"Go to sleep Damon. If you do it may not hurt as much." Kate reassured him.

"We'll see you when you wake up."I said.

"Do you promise?" He whispered eyes closed, nearly asleep.

"I promise" and with that I bit both his wrists, both his shoulders and his neck. After what seemed like a thousand years in just one second he started to scream.

Irena's POV

I ran through the forest with Marina on my back and Eleazar next to me. I think we all knew he was going to leave the coven soon. Maybe I could get some info out of him after we have started Marina's transformation.

We made it back to the house. It was an amazing house. I'm so glad we moved here. The house was a massive white two story house with blue shutters surrounded by luscious paddocks with heaps of trees scattered everywhere. It was my dream house. Bella had it built in ten days by a couple of nomads she met a month after she came to us, they were surprisingly nice about it, especially when they where around Bella, and we moved immediately. She said Alaska was getting on her nerves and we needed some new scenery some time or later. Within two days of it being finished we were transferred into Knox High and settling into new place.

Bella kind of became our new leader soon after she moved in because he was falling apart after his human died. It was so sad, we tried to get him to change her but he just couldn't do it. She died weeks after they fell in love, from a fire at her work place. Her name was Carmen I think.

I set Marina down on the front porch and asked her if she was ok.

"Yeah. I guess I'm gonna have to get used to it anyway right?' She sighed.

"Right you are." I chuckled. "Meet us on the first floor to your right two doors down. There are some spare clothes in the closet. Get comfy. It's going to be rough."

She sighed and put her satchel down on the coffee tabled then made her way upstairs.

I turned to Eleazar. "What do I need to get?" I asked.

Get anything that will calm her down and make her feel no pain. You'll find it all in my office behind the first book case on your left. Pull the third book on the second shelf. I keep it there just in case Carlisle comes around."

Without saying anything I turned around and ran down to the minus levels that where made underneath the house to Eleazars office. It looked much barer than it usually did, only a few books where in the cases that filled the walls. Surely enough though, behind the first book case I found a hidden case full of different drugs. I picked the ones that I knew where calming and also ones that I knew would make her numb and drowsy. Hopefully none of them would cross react.

I ran back into the living room but Eleazar was already upstairs talking to her and hooking her up to the machines.

"I feel really tired." She yawned.

"That's good. Most of the best transformations I've seen have happened to humans who feel asleep before they were bitten. But don't panic when I start to bite. I won't sugar coat it, it isn't pleasant but some vampires who are bitten in distress end up crazy or with no powers at all." He told her.

While he was talking I gave him the drugs and he sorted them out then used as many as he could that wouldn't cross react.

"I'm right here if you need me Marina. Throughout the transformation you're going to feel really hot but you will be able to talk or whisper. If you can tell us how you feel after we try different things to calm you down, it would really help. Ok?"

"Ok." She said.

"I'll leave then, it's not safe for me to smell fresh human blood, but it's going to be ok, just relax. I'll leave after you've fallen asleep." I said.

She didn't say anything just smiled slightly, closed her eyes and soon enough fell asleep.

I nodded at Eleazar and exited the room. It would only take a few seconds for him to bite so I ran to the living room and sat down on the love seat.

A few minutes later he came down and Marina hadn't started screaming yet so we just sat and chat.

"So what is your next move?" I asked.

"Pardon?" He looked confused.

"What are you going to do after you leave us?" I asked. "We all know. Plus I saw the overseas brochures in your office on the drug run."

"Oh." He said. I had no idea you guys would figure it out. I was kind of planning a sort of grab my bags and go type of farewell, with a note of course."

"So where are you going to go?" I suspected a place but I wanted my suspicions cleared.

"Probably travel to my home town. Get back to my roots and stay there for a while then, maybe, go back to the Volturi." He explained.

"You know, Eleazer, if you go back to them they'll never let you go again." I said.

"Year I know." He sighed. "But I got a letter from them a few months back, explaining that because of the increase in Vampires that they may need me soon. I hope it is the right choice."

"To be honest, I don't mind what you do as long as you're safe and you keep up the vegetarian diet. Also Aro might want to see what you have been up to so maybe you should see Lavinia and ask her if she can erase your memories of Bella they would have been curious to see how she has turned out. No doubt they would have checked out the Cullen Clan to see her. I wonder how the baby is and what happened to her. Do you reckon the Volturi found out about her?" I raved.

"I received word from Edward before we left Alaska. He told me that the baby is well and that one of the werewolf's imprinted on her, whatever that is, and that when the Volturi came they gave her to the pack and all was well. It's funny that you should mention Lavinia because she was there at the time the Volturi came."

"It is rather funny that Lavinia is around at just the right moment to spoil the Volturi's plans." I giggled.

"She is rather the sly one, is she not? Reading her powers stifles me every time; they are just so rare, like Bella's. I still cannot believe Bella has the power to absorb others powers at her own will. I'm glad she came to us because if someone had told me about her through the grape vine I would never a have believed it in my entire existence." He rambled. I sighed and looked at him.

"I wish you wouldn't go. We need you when it comes to the law and especially now that we have three newborns coming into the coven, we will need your help terribly. And when do you expect to leave? Tomorrow? Next week?"I said sternly.

"Actually I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I've already booked my ticket. I'm sorry to leave you on such short notice but it's more than I was going to give. I hope you can forgive me." He said.

"But what about your stuff you're going to have to pack it and everything than have it sent off and..." I realised how stupid I was being. "You've got it all sorted haven't you?"

He smiled. "Pretty much. I just hope I'm not making a mistake. This time there is no way out." He turned to me. "But I know though, that there is nothing left for me in this coven. And I miss my home town and even though the Volturi are more controlling than rule enforcing they are still a part of the authority and maybe I can keep them on track for a couple hundred years. I can't say this will be easy leaving you all but it is probably better if I leave now than wait until later."

"So what time are you going to leave?" I asked.

"Just before nine. I have a few bags I will take but the rest is going to be picked up soon and is being sent to an apartment in Volterra. I think I'll leave here in two hours, just to make sure that Marina is ok, then I'll say goodbye to the rest."

"But I won't know what to do, I might stuff up!" I exclaimed.

"You'll do fine it's just basics. Only use the medicine I put on the green cloth. I'll put the rest back into my case, don't stress and you'll be fine. Now why don't you go upstairs and read or do something to relax yourself. It really is going to get rough."

A/N: Thank you to all who are actually cool enough to read my book as well as this chapter. YOU are awesome!

Oh and yes Carmen was just a human in my story because I forgot about her. I promise I will do my homework and no longer muck you all up with the characters and who their partners are. SORRY :)

Lots of much needed love,

Amy xoxo
