I KNOW THAT THE TALENTED AUTHOR STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS THE TWILIGHT SAGA

I was hyperventilating on the bed at 6 the next morning. I had tossed and turned in my sleep all night. I was beyond exhausted, but no matter what I did I just couldn't fall asleep. Having figured out how thoroughly screwed I was, there was just no room for sleep.
"How? How will I get out of here without them hunting me down." I thought as I sat on my assigned bed. I took me around forty-five minutes to calm myself down enough to have a normal breathing pattern, that wasn't laboured. Once I did that I lay-ed back down and thought the same thing over and over again.
How will I escape and live to see him or even his family again...
No matter how any times I thought about the question I still got nothing, but a blank mind. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples, hoping that it would help me with my thought process. After another half hour I still was drawing a blank. It frustrated me to no end, because I felt like the answer was starring me right in the face the entire time, but I could figure out what it was yet, or I was to blind to see it.
I finally gave up for the time being because I was hungry and angry at myself for not coming up with anything. I quickly sat up and opened my eyes, only to come centimeters away from Jenny's nose -which could have dented or fractured my skull-. I gasped an jumped about a foot off my bed.
"GWAAAH! Good God! Make a sound will you? You scared the buh-jeebe's outta me." I said as I put my hand over my heart to feel its erratic beat.
Jenny burst out laughing, rolling on the floor clutching her sides. If she were human she would have been as red as a cherry. After two minutes I hit her with a few pillows, she regained her composure soon after that.
"So Bella ready for the big day? Nervous" she raised her eye brows and got herself comfortable beside me on the bed.
"Well what do you think? I'm surprised the whole house didn't hear my hyperventilating. Well, of course I'm nervous but that's to be expected right? I mean its not every day that I give up my life as I know it, the love I once had, taking on a butt load of blood lust and god knows what else. So of course I'm just peachy". I rambled on while rolling my eyes at her.
"Any pointers for the newbie over here?" I sighed and looked at her hoping that she said that it's not as bad as becoming a normal vampire and that I was just psyching myself out. Although I knew that was all in vain from the moment the sentence was finished because her eyes told me how she struggled to come up with an answer to help me be hopeful, while still being truthful.
"Bella from what I know from other vampires, our change is somewhat the different. Of course there is going to be pain, but it's hard for me to explain because I haven't gone through the other way to be changed."
She shrugged her shoulders while she put a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Next she looked down at the bed and began to draw patterns with her finger. "I'm really sorry that I can't be more help. You know I'm not the serious type, so its kind of hard for me to explain things properly. Terry or Mel would be a better candidate for this then me, Bella."
"Jenny don't worry about it. So far you've been completely honest with me and that's all I've asked for, from any of you." I squeezed her hand tight before I continued on with what I had to say, knowing things were bound to get awkward after I asked what had been bugging the last couple of days.
"Jenny..." I hesitated not knowing how o say this.
"Yeah B?" She looked confused on how I switched the tone of my voice.
"Well I was wondering... Where, umm... How come..." I was trying to say it but I just didn't have the courage to ask her so frankly, it just wasn't me.
"Just spit it out girl, nothing you, have to say can be that bad" she snickered and had the world's largest smirk on her face.
"Alright, alright. What... What happened to all the other... the other Las señoras de los elementos? I mean there has to be others, right. You guys even said so, when you were explaining my... my nightmare."
I looked up at Jenny and she didn't look like what I asked her was all that serious.
"Oh why didn't you just say so? They're dead." For the briefest moment I saw pain, guilt and something else I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Bella" Rosalie asked
"Yeah" I said, not to sure what to expect from her just yet, because her thoughts were all over the place.
"Could you please hurry this up a bit, I mean we've been here for what checks her watch an hour and a half and you aren't even changed yet. Damn it, like what the hell I don't really care what you felt or thought during that time period of your life, go it?" She finished and had the tiniest smile that meant she showed a challenge.
"Rosalie Hale Cullen!" Esme shouted, to say the least I was shocked.
"How DARE you speak that way to her."
"But I-" she started
"But nothing, Bella is being nice enough to tell her our story when we have no right to it at all. She has welcomed us into her home and has been pleasant to all of us, even though some of us haven't done anything to deserve it. And young lady this isn't about you, at all okay? The rest of us want to know what her thoughts were, and how she felt about what was going on with her life. So if you don't want to listen you are excused." Esme finished her little rant and everyone just looked at her in awe and complete shock.
Who knew that warm, kind hearted Esme, the woman who could melt the coldest of hearts. Who's smile lit up an entire building had that in her? All I could think was: wow.
Rosalie was about to get up and walk out of the room when Esme spoke again.
"After you apologize to Bella for you deplorable behavior. You, my dear would be livid if she were to do something like this to you, but she hasn't been anything but inviting to you. So please sit down now." Her voice was calm but in those sentences I saw that Esme was really a vampire. Everyone was floored and looked at Rosalie, who was slowly shrinking back over to her seat.
"Sorry dear, please continue with your story and don't miss even the tiniest detail, we all are very interested in what has happened in your life when we were...away." She smiled warmly at me and I felt as if I was once again one of her children. But I now learned something : Never get on her bad side.
"Thank you Esme" I said

"DEAD?!" No I couldn't have heard her right. I said in fear of what else was to come with the rest of her statement. "What do you mean dead?"
"I mean... -sigh- they were killed and aren't coming back Bella" she whispered. It seems their deaths meant more to her then she was letting on before.
"How did they... um... if you don't mind me asking, that is" I wanted to know more in depth of what I was getting myself into. Not that I really had I say in the matter.
"He... He killed them. He said 'I want to find her, the one who will make me truly happy'" Jenny began to silently sob. I hugged her as tight as I could not knowing what else to do, one of those girls must have been really close to her.
"How many were there before I got here? Who's room was this?" They were the only questions I had the guts to ask, not wanting to upset her any further then she already was.
"This room used to be Tracy's, she could manipulate fire" Jenny had a weak smile as she said that.
"The other spare room was Rebecca's, she was my cousin" Jenny broke down for awhile after that. We just sat there, holding each other as she cried for the loss of her cousin and friend. When she was able to speak again she continued.
"They were getting fed up with Nick and they wanted out. But nobody's leaves the Las señoras de los elementos or Nick. So one night they decided to fight him two on one."
She paused to catch her breath
"I tried to stop them! I really did, they just wouldn't listen to me or Mel or even Terry. We all knew what the outcome would be, but they still wanted to try. And so he had no choice but to kill them. After they were dead things started to change. He wasn't as trusting toward us and if he walked into the room he demanded to know what we were talking about before he entered. Things were getting so bad we all were beginning to get depressed. But then something changed everything." She smiled at the last part of her sentence.
"What could change everything so drastically Jen? I mean you all have been doing nothing but smile since...since as long as I knew you guys." Then it clicked. I must have done something to make them all happier. I just wasn't sure what and I wanted know if I should also be happy at what had happened.
"Bella, you happened. You have been our sunshine, our ray of hope. You are what Rebeca predicted would happen, before their battle" Jenny said with a little to much excitement for my taste.
"What are you talking about? Could Rebeca have visions or something?" Now I was really getting confused on what had happened before I arrived here.
"Before she left she pulled me aside and told me something. She told me;
Jenny, I know I won't survive this... and that's alright. There will be another one of us soon enough. I can't tell you who she is, where she'll come from or even when she will arrive. I know she'll be the heart of you girls, there may be times were you are confused but she'll help you make it through. I love you, Tracy, Terry and Mel-Mel with all my heart. But I can't live this lie anymore alright. I know this will be hard to deal with but you'll learn to survive it. Please let her into your hearts, I know it won't be easy at first, but something tells me that it will help you guys a lot. 'Recuerde de reírse y adorar con todo el corazón pero nunca olvidarse'. (Remember to laugh and love with all your heart but never forget.)
"Do you really think that this mystery girl is me? Honestly" Could she seriously believe that Rebeca could have been talking about me? HA! fat chance of that happening.
"Bella, you really can't see yourself probably can you? I mean you are kind hearted and very selfless. Almost every mans dream, not to mention how you look girl. You may not believe, but your quite the 'hotty'" she gave me a wicked grin.
"Okay we aren't going to argue about that right now. But did you guys really have a hard time with trusting? You all have been nothing but loving, caring and trusting, or at least I thought so." I wasn't sure how they thought of me, but I knew I trusted them and would need them if I were to be able to get through this.
"Oh Bell-Bell, when you were first here we knew you were perfect. Remember we watched you before we took you. At first we thought it was just an act, I mean come on not to many people are trustworthy these days. But time after time you surprised us, and slowly you buried yourself into our hearts. And you didn't even know it." She giggled
Time Shift '
By 8:30 I was fed, dressed and ready for what the day would dish out to me. Melisa, Terry and Jenny were currently in the basement looking for "the perfect size" what ever that's supposed to mean. For some unknown reason to me I wasn't allowed to be there to help or even be by the basement.
"Hello I'm bored." I screamed from my bedroom even though I knew they would here me perfectly if I just spoke normaly.
"Hey, hey no need for screaming around here we can hear you pretty well." Melisa joked and poked me with her finger.
"Well you should at least give me a book or something I'm dying with boredom." I grumbled while I crossed my arms infront of my chest.
"You know what I think I'll go blonde, what do you think?"Melisa pondered
"WHAT?!" we all screeched
"Where the heck did that come from Mel, why the hell do you want to go BLONDE?" Terry bellowed.
"Well I thought it would work pretty well, because you have reddish brown hair, so lets just say red. Jenny has jet black while B and I have the same chocolate brown. So I thought, 'why not have each one of us represent a hair colour, because we'll each represent a different element'." she said to us as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Sounds cool to me but how do you know that I won't have the same one as you guys?" I questioned.
"Well it has always been like that Bella. Not once has two of the Las señoras de los elementos every had the same element under their control, unless they had more then one." Terry shrugged not making a very big deal about it.
"Oh I get it. It's like I could really be fire but also have water under my control or something like that...right?" I looked at Melisa while Jenny answered my question.
"Yeah, exactly like you said but those are rare cases. Only a handful of us have had two elements under our control. The people who get two elements usually don't get any other "gifts" if that happens." Jenny said .
After that Melisa went to go dye her hair a striking blonde that looked gorgeous on her. She also put in some honey low lights and bleach blonde high lights. Terry added a little more red into her hair and Jenny changed her bright red hight lights to a more of a bronzed copper. It was around 11 am by this point. Next I was ordered to get showered and to put on whatever they left on the bathroom counter for me.
So I get out of the shower a few minutes later and I see a dress bag. Slightly intrigued I slowly made my way over to see what they had left for me to wear. I unzipped the bag and at first all I could see is a lot of white, the material of the dress was something like a soccer jersey, but much softer.
As I took the dress out from the jacket, it had a glittery silver empire waist and thick straps. The bottom part of the dress flowed all around me as I put it on. The dress was breath taking, even though I had no idea what exactly it was for,it was perfect fit, clinging to me like a glove. Every curve was enhanced beyond belief, some curves appeared that I didn't even know existed on a human being. Maybe this was "the perfect size" they were looking for in the basement I thought to myself.
When I finally tore my eyes off the dress in the mirror's reflection I went to step through the door, only to trip on the hem of the dress, because it was on the tad long side. But knowing them they were going to put me in some sort of death trap like a type of heel, stiletto or wedge of some impossible height. Anyways on my way to get re-acquainted with the floor I felt to cold arms wrap around my waist.
My heart began to pound. Trying to think who could have caught me, seeing that neither Jen, Terry, or Mel were in the room at the moment. For a split second I allowed myself to have hope and wished with all my heart for that one specific person to catch me and take me away from all of this. Even if it meant staying human a while longer.
I righted myself to a standing position and let go of the breath that I had been holding (yet I don't remember when I did). I slowly closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath so my nerves weren't completely going hay-wire, but they were pretty darn close. I turned around, still having my eyes closed in fear that if I really let myself hope I would drop that much further and that much deeper. So I chickened out and threw my hope out the window knowing that if some one were to get that lucky it most definetly wouldn't be me. Miss Isabella Marie Swan.
I opened my eyes, and guess what I was right. My face only about a foot apart from Nicholas'. His eyes were clouded over in some deep emotion that I didn't know what it was but I could definitely see that it was intense. He smiled but it made me repulsed and shudder from trying to swallow the bile in the back of my throat. I wanted nothing more then scream, but I couldn't find the will to move.
Maybe he was using his powers on me?! I thought in a panicked haze, I knew he was capable of it. "What did he want? Why was he here now?" Those thoughts and others much like them were zipping and spinning around my head so quick that I began to get a tiny bit dizzy. What made me regain my senses were when he made the motion to lean more into me so I could feel almost every curve of his disgusting body near mine.
Finally able to have some sort of control over myself, I gasped at our close proximity, and immediately tried to pulled out of his death grip of a hold. Only to find that I couldn't move an inch, I would have sold my right arm if I could even get a centimeter, but no, not even that would he allow me. The fear and panic washed over me again and it must have been clearly written on my face because his smiled turn sad as he let his arms drop to his sides.With that I didn't hesitate to take a good step back.
"Bella" He breathed
"Y-Yes Nick?" it came out more of a question then an answer as I intended it to be.
"Please -sigh- Please don't be afraid of me, I beg of you"
He took a slow step towards me as to not scare me. He also out stretched his hand for me to take. I couldn't move, his actions and words seemed so sincere, as were most of his eyes. But something in my gut told me not to take his hand. I just couldn't forget what he and Jen did to Mel when she was out, without his knowledge, or what Rebeca and Tracy died for.
As soon as I made the decision not to take his hand his eyes flashed with and immense amount of anger that I wasn't supposed to see, because it was gone in a millisecond. I knew it was there though, I just knew it. I put down head, and slid my hands behind my back. He let out a small frustrated growl then.
"I'm sorry Nick. But... I'm sorry." I turned to run, hiking up my skirt. I got as far as the door frame before he was in front of me, blocking the way.
I could have cried.
"You think an "I'm sorry" is going to work?" he screamed an raised his arm and struck the door frame reducing it to nothing but splinters.
"But- But" I started tears stinging my eyes by this point. I didn't dare to let them fall
"There will be no buts here young lady" He rolled his eyes and took a few calming breathes.
"You will be mine by the end of tonight if you like it or not. Got that and I don't give a DAMN if your heart isn't in it by now, because you know what? At the moment I don't give a shit." he said all this in such a casual voice, you would think he was asking if I just got a phone call.
"Oh and please remember, that anything you do I'll know all about." he smirked at this part, and raised his left arm.
Before I knew what happened I was on the ground. I got I pretty good idea of what he did by the pain in my right cheek. All I did was look at him, nothing more, but look at the monster in front of me, as I held my cheek in both my hands. I knew there would be a bruise beginning to form but I didn't dare move. I had learned the hard way what was to happened if I even thought about getting ice for my cheek.
x. Pause of Flashback .x
SNAP!
Hold on there's no snap in my story. That is until I looked around the room and saw that every male members of the cullen family had black as coal eyes, and the females eyes were a dark brown. I wasn't too sure where the snap had come from but I was pretty sure it was the table. My fears were confirmed when I looked down at my table.
Each of them had gripped the side of the table until it had become dust. Yeah dust and they were still squeezing the living daylights out of the dust. They must not have realized what they had done, but caught on fast as they all looked down and saw their actions. If they could have blushed Carlisle's face would be as red as a strawberry.
"Come on guys this was an antique" I joked trying to light the air a bit.
"Bella how can you be joking when you just told us he just pimp slapped you" Emmet said through gritted teeth.
"Please tell me that you were alright after that and that he didn't beat you any further" Carlisle managed to say even as his eyes were as black as night by this time.
Edward seemed too mad to say anything, -I got that from Jasper's thoughts- he just pinched the bridge of his nose with his fore finger and thumb. His eyes never leaving mine for but a moment.
Alice was trying to calm down Jasper because of the emotions coming off of everybody. He too was to enraged to even attempt to speak.
"I think we should take a break-" I said and before I got the last word out of my mouth they all screamed
"No!" everyone was flabbergasted by Rosalie's response. She just looked down at the table as Esme went on.
"We need to know what happened to you honey. I know we don't have the right to ask but please, continue"
"Are you all sure" I looked each of them in the eye as they nodded.
The only one to hesitate was Edward.
"Alrighty as I was saying...Nicholas"
x. Resume of Flashback .x
Nicholas bent down by my left ear and whispered. "You will forever be mine and don't you ever forget it"
Standing back up to his and asked "Are. We. Clear?" his voice was so harsh yet it didn't go above a whisper.
I merely nodded my head and looked away from the sight in front of me. I couldn't look at him and longer for fear I would begin to bawl and that would only make his temper grow. Once he was satisfied he left me in the room by myself.
Seconds after he left, the three of them came into the room and hugged me on the floor. Terry tenderly picked me up off the floor as I cried and put me on my bed. I looked over to my bedside table to read the clock. It read 11:30 am, it wasn't even noon and I was in tears and an utter wreck. I closed my eyes, not wanting to ever move again, but knowing full well that I had to.
"Bella?" Melisa called to me. I just looked in her direction not bothering to turn my head
"I want to try something but I need you permission first" she looked a little wary of what my reaction would be.
"Mel I trust you with my life, go head" I whispered. I couldn't bring my voice above a whisper.
I felt her cold hand on my bruised cheek. It got a little bit of a tinglely feeling as she touched it, but that was what she must have meant. I mentally shrugged my shoulders, not caring what she did to me at this point as long as there was no pain.
x. Pause of Flashback .x
Snap!
"Oh come, GUYS!" I said exasperated, but to my surprise it was the women of the family who had damaged my table this time not the men.
"Hey wasn't us this time" Emmet said raising his arms in defense.
"Sorry dear, please proceed" Esme said looking guiltily at the table in her and her daughters hands.
"Bella" Alice said in such a small voice that my heart ached to see her pained, while she looked at her dust covered hands.
"Yeah Alice" I responded cautiously
"I'm sorry you had to go through that all. I know you weren't alone but still."
She got up and hugged me, but what surprised me was that Rosalie also hugged me just as tightly.
x. Resume of Flashback .x
I was startled when they all started to laugh light heartedly. I looked at them, soon realizing that my cheek was begining to feel better. I put my hand on it and looked at them questioningly. Jen went into the bathroom and came back with a mirror. I instantely took in from her offering hand and looked at my right cheek in the mirror.
I was shocked, as I saw a nasty bruise on my cheek slowly disappear.
"How?" was all I could get out.
"Well I knew that I could control any form of liquid, so why not the blood in your body?" Mel said
"wow" I breathed.
As I got up to go to the bathroom they inspected the gown on me. I fiddled with the material in my hands as they stared and told me to turn around. When I faced them again I ignored their wolf whistles and hollers. I retreated into the bathroom as they called out.
"See the perfect size" then we all broke out in a fit of laughter
Time Shift'
Around noon I ate and they did my make-up and hair. No matter how many times I asked and how many different ways I asked they wouldn't tell me where I was going. But what I got from their tight lips were that they would be coming so I didn't have to worry about being alone with Nicholas. The other piece of information was that they would all be using their powers in the ceremony. With that I was very curious.
Before we left they gave me a silver cloak much like the ones I saw Jenny and Nick in the first time we met. It saw so smooth, the silk almost like water running over my hands as I held it. I wasn't sure to why they gave it to me and not just a regular coat, but it was there customs not mine. I tied the cloak's strings around my neck and put my arms through the long sleeves.
"All right Miss. Swan turn around and close your eyes please." Jenny said to me.
Doing what I was told I turn around. Then she slipped a white silk blind fold over my eyes and put on my hood. Shockingly the blindfold blocked my vision so much that I could only tell it was light around me. Next I was ushered into some type of car. Because of the blindfold I couldn't tell where we were going, how long we'd been driving, or what time it was. Every now and then I would try to pry information out of them but no such luck, on my part there.
I most of fell asleep because the next thing I heard was Jenny's voice.
"Alright Bells, I'm gonna take the blind fold off now. Close your eyes,so you don't ruin your eye shadow and liner." Jenny said and then patiently waited for me to do as I was told.
As the blind fold lifted I gasped, for two reasons. One being now that it was night time, and stealing a quick glance back into the jeep I saw it was 10:30 pm. The second reason was because of the spectacular view.
We were at a lake that was bordered with different kinds of flowers and trees. The night's sky was black covered with stars. We must have been in cottage country because I could see stars the size of pin pricks. The full silver moon was gorgeous with all the twinkling stars around it. There were two grey clouds surrounding the moon. It looked like the moon was resting on the clouds. Next I looked down the beach, and my breath hitched, for there was a gondola long enough for for each of us to fit in.
"Alright Girls please go and change. While I help Miss Swan here into to the boat." Nick ordered them to do.
"Yes Nick" they said with bowed heads and then disappeared into the surrounding forest.
"Miss, if you please" Nick said.
It was only now that I realised he was no longer in jeans, a t-shirt and his leather brown jacket. What he usually wore around the house or the glimpse I saw of him. Now he was wearing all black, to his dress shoes to his black tuxedo coat. As much as I wanted to be repulsed I couldn't deny that the black was a prefect contrast to his snow white skin. His piercing silver eyes were like daggers, striking through me.
"um...Thank you" I said as he helped me into the gondola, I didn't make eye contact when I was speaking to him.
"Okay we're ready" Melisa said.
They were all dressed in cloaks very similar to mine, but theirs were jet black. They all had switch from their pony tails to elegant new hair-dos, all there make-up was red and white, but with black eyeliner. So I figured they would all be wearing some shade of red.
Time Shift '
Once every one was into the gondola we were off. I literally mean that, no one touched a paddle, momentarily I forgot their powers and gasped. They giggled at my antics, Melisa just winked and tapped the her side of her head.
The ride was very peaceful, but I could tell they were very excited about the events that were about to take place. When we were in the middle of the lake we slowed to a complete stop. I look to Mel, she nodded her head to my unspoken question. This is were the ceremony was to take place. I just couldn't figure out how Terry's and Jenny's control over their elements would come into play, during the ceremony.
"So this is the spot? In the middle of a deserted forest on a lake." I asked Jenny.
She snickered "Silly Bella this would be a very uncomfortable place for the transformation. Don't you think?"
"Yeah, but then why did we stop?" I was beginning to get confused. If this isn't the place then why did we stop?
Next thing I knew we were slowly being lowered into the lake. I freaked out knowing full well Terry was the one lowering us into the center of the lake. Melisa made sure no water got into the boat or on to us. When I could barely see the sky anymore we stopped moving down.
There was a cave under all the water, and it looked man-made. All the walls were slick and I had to hold on to Terry for dear life, not to trip in the ridiculous heels they had put on me. We walked about ten feet then everything was illuminated by candle light. Candles were everywhere, from being placed on the floor and little ledges to hovering around and above us .
I looked back to see the boat, but it was no longer there.
"Terry where's the boat?" I whispered even if they all could hear me, I felt that this place was sacred and only be whispered in.
"It's back at the surface. We won't need it any more. Melisa is sending it back to the beach as we speak" She most have felt the same way as I did, because she whispered to.
"Jen, how's your power got a role in this?" I whisper yelled.
"Bella How do you think you breathing sixty feet under a lake? And do you usually see things floating around or no?" She cocked an eyebrow at me, then rolled her eyes.
"Oh" was all I could think to say.
A few minutes later we arrived at a wooden door. It was a dark mahogany and had a carving of a silver star. At each point every element was represented and in the middle was the letter "N". Nick open the door and held it open as each of us went through it into the next room.
The room was a filled with blood red candles but they were all floating a big cirlce around the perimeter of the room. Then in the center of the room was a circle of white candles, in front of the white circle a few feet away was a small table with a dagger, a glass goblet filled with some sort of silver liquid and a ring.
As I turned around I saw that there was also another door in the wall.
"I wonder whats in there" I said to myself aloud.
"All in good time Bells" Jenny said and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Shall we begin?" Nicholas asked. But again it sounded more like a command then a genuine question.
With that Mel, Terry, and Jenny all took off their black cloaks. They looked like a few vixens or sirens with them all wearing red.
I took that as a signal to also take of my white cloak, and handed it to Melisa. She vanished for a second but was back with her hands empty. Next they lead me into the circle of white candles, they stood behind me in a semi-circle as I faced Nicholas.
"Kneel" he spoke. Being careful of the candles I went down on my one knee, as my dress fanned out about me.
The Ceremony began as he spoke in a weird language I couldn't recognize. I was mesmerised by the way he spoke. It was like he caressed every word before he spoke them. It was truly magical. As the ceremony proceed I felt like we were all were in another time and place. At one point in the ceremony the girls a placed their right hand on me. One on each shoulder and the other on my head, I felt power flow threw me, as they responded to what Nick had said. Later on they did the same thing but with their left hands. after about two minutes Nick began in english.
" Las señoras de los elementos, my lovely ladies do you accept Miss Swan as one of your own for all eternity?" He asked them.
I turned my head and saw them smile warmly at me. They placed both hands over their hearts and bowed their heads before they responded. (They crossed their hands to form an X over their chest basically)
"We will love cherish and respect Isabella as one of our own for now and for all eternity." they said united
I felt the warmth and love coming from them. I realized that I would never again be alone and that they would always be there for me no matter what. I felt my eyes begin to sting with tears of joy. Terry knelt down and wiped away my tears.
"Bella don't worry. Okay we love you" Jenny and Melisa nodded their head in agreement. Terry stood up and returned to her place back in the semi-circle. I turned back to look at Nick.
"Isabella Marie Swan, you have been chosen to be on of the Las señoras de los elementos. Are you ready?" He said
I took a deep breath, to make sure my voice was as confident as I felt at the moment. They all waited for my answer. "This where you belong Bella. If only for the moment this is where you belong. They love you and would give their lives to protect you with out hesitation, as you would for them in a heart beat." a little voice in the back of my head said. I smiled and said
"I, Isabelle Marie Swan am ready to become a señora de los elementos." I raised my head to look at him in the eyes the first time since the ceremony started.
He smiled at this, he reached for the dagger and I a wave of fear washed through me. But I didn't move, neither Terisa, Melisa or Jenifer would ever let something bad happen to me, so I swallowed my fear. I opened my eyes not noticing that I had shut them and saw Nick prick his finger then pour it into the goblet. He then took my hand and placed the dagger into it. I pricked my finger just as he had an squeezed the drop of blood into the silver elixir.
I was shocked that I couldn't smell the blood, but for that I was very grateful. I think I would have ruined the ceremony if I threw-up all over myself and/or one of them. Nicholas tipped the goblet to my lips and told me to drink. So I did, all of it, when I was finished I felt empowered and like I could take over the world.
He offered his hand to help me stand. This time without hesitation I accepted his hand and stood up. I turned around and was engulf in hugs from the three of them. I was so happy that I would soon be joining them in a matter of minutes.
"Bella, please turn around" Nick whispered right by my ear.
I turned around and felt his razor like teeth on the soft skin of my neck. In a matter of seconds he bit through the skin and I felt as the venom slowly flowed into me .This time was different from when James had bitten me. I wasn't feeling the burning flames like last time, this time I was paralyzed. My limp body swayed and then fell. Nick caught me and bit both of my wrists next.
"Rest while you can Bella. For I can assure you that the pain will come, it is only delayed." He whispered into my ear as he lifted me off the ground.
My dress was stained down the front with my own blood. I was beginning to smell the blood and I felt like I was going to be sick. He carried me to the other door in the room. On the other side of the door was a master bedroom. The bed was completely covered in red silk, from the spread sheet to the comforter and pillows.
A/N: Alright sorry for the delay instead of it chipping in and out my internet is completely down. I've been out of the country with no internet access. If you want to see the dresses check out my profile.
