I ran until I got to an empty meadow. I sat crossed legged there just thinking of everything that had happened only hours ago. I was dry sobbing as the weather seemed to mimic my emotions. It started to rain and by now I was pounding on the ground with all my strength. I saw the ground crack under my punches. I didn't care; I just wanted to hurt, I wanted to feel pain, but I couldn't feel such things. Was I really that heartless? Had I really become the monster I feared I would become? I laid down frustrated of thinking so much and let the rain fall on my face. Once the sun started rising, I decided to leave, but I really had nowhere to go, so I just began walking without purpose. I walked for hours and still I got nowhere until I came out to a beach. It was not a nice day out as I saw the waves crashing into the beach. I took off my shoes and walked by the edge of the water enjoying it as it tingled slightly. I was walking along when I was suddenly pinned to the ground. I struggled under the tight grip as I turned around to see a big wolf; more like giant wolf. I pushed him off of me and I crouched down and we circled each other. Suddenly, before me he changed into a boy and I gasped. He looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Get off our land" He said warningly

"What?" I asked confused

"You heard me, bloodsucker!" He shouted as his skin started to tremble

"What are you?" I asked as I glared at him

"A shifter" He said as he tilted his head to one side, "Are you a Cullen?" He suddenly asked

"A Cullen? No" I said and then he smiled evilly like an idea had just popped in his head

"I guess I can kill you" He stated and he lunged at me

Before my eyes, his body exploded into a wolf form. He gripped my shoulders and dug his nails into my skin and I screamed in pain, but was still able to bite down on his shoulder. He let go of me jumping back. He came at me, knocking me into a tree and I slid down just as he came at me. I got out of the way and he broke through the tree and I took that as a chance to run. He was behind me for a while, but then I couldn't hear him anymore, so I slowed down. When I stopped I dropped to the floor and laid there and I could literally feel my open wounds closing. I just closed my eyes tight until it was over. Healing was almost as painful as the transformation.

I got up weakly and I realized that I needed to feed so I went out to the road, but nothing came. I was so weak that I fell hoping that maybe some one would come along, but time was passing by slowly as I waited. I laid there until a deer came up to me and nibbled at my hair. At first I tried to push it away from me, but it wouldn't budge. The once sour smell that came from him was now so sweet that I snapped its neck before I thought anything out and drank from the animal. When I was finished and discarded the animal body, I realized that animal blood wasn't that bad that I could give it a try. I took down a couple more animals and once I was better, it hit me... The Cullens.

I walked for a long time just thinking of how to find the Cullens, but somehow I ended up on a dirt path and I followed it until I came to a house. To my surprise it was the Cullens' home, but I stood outside. I knew that they were probably waiting for me to come inside. They were just giving me time to decide on what to do. What could I possibly tell them?.. 'Oh hey, I know I ran out on you guys and I went of to kill my parents, but I'm back now and I want to try your method.' Yeah, right; they would probably kill me themselves before I stepped into their home. Even so, my selfish side wanted to be a part of their family and so I made up my mind.

I walked up to the door and before I could knock, Alice opened it. Se hugged me in a tight embrace that would have suffocated a human.

"Oh, Bella! I knew it. I saw it!" She said leading me inside

Then she quickly let go of me and moved aside to show a surprised Edward. Alice walked to him and elbowed him playfully.

"I told you" She said

Then Emmett walked in and Rosalie followed behind him.

"Oh, so I see Edward didn't scare you away" Emmett said as he smiled and gave me a one arm hug. Rosalie just smiled from afar and then I turned to Alice.

"The others?" I asked

"Hunting. By the way, is that animal blood I detect in your eyes?" She asked with a smile and I nodded shyly and she squealed

"I knew you would come around. Now let's change your clothes" She said and in that moment both Rosalie and Alice took me into what I hoped was still my room.

I didn't know how long I was locked up in my room at the mercy of Rosalie and Alice, but it felt like an eternity. When they finally let me look at the mirror, I couldn't believe what I saw. They had brushed my hair and put it in a bun, except for my bang that lay on my left side. I wore a red tank-top with black jeans that fit me tight and hugged my curves. Lastly, I wore red sandals. I turned around and faced Alice and Rosalie. They both smiled wide at their work.

"Edward is going to love it" Rosalie said out loud and then put her hands over her mouth

"What?" I asked and Alice elbowed Rosalie

"What!" Rosalie said

"Why did you say that?" Alice said sounding hurt

"I didn't mean to" She said and they began arguing

"Can anyone tell me what is going on?" I asked annoyed and they both stared at me

Alice shook her and then I turned to Rosalie who I knew would tell me.

"He likes you" She said bluntly and then Alice growled

"Rosalie, you ruined everything!" She said pouting and Rosalie shrugged indifferently and walked out of my room.

I turned to Alice, but she followed Rosalie still arguing with her and I sighed sitting on my couch.

Edward likes me? Of all people; me?

If I could I would probably be crying by now. I mean, there was nothing wrong with it, but I was wrong for him. I clenched my hands into fists knowing that if he knew what I had done, he would hate me like the rest of his family would. I stood up, determined to leave. I opened the door and there in front of me stood a determined Edward as well.
