I awoke in pain, pure agony. A fire was burning through my veins, making in nearly impossible to breath without crying out. I tried to move my hands, to thrash around. Something to stop this searing hot fire dull down, but I couldn't move any part of my body. My eyes widened in fear. I must be paralyzed. Or at least this was hell. That's it. I died and now I'm in hell. Tears were building in my eyes. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Edward, Esme Alice, none of the Cullen's. My tears fell now and continued harder as I remembered what happened how ever long ago. I was shot. Edward was to late. He couldn't have saved me. Tears fell harder. I was in my own pain. Not of the fire but of the loved ones I lost. I screamed in aguish and tried once again to break my bonds, they wouldn't budge.

Two cold hands started soothing my face, dulling all the pain that was there not moments ago.

"Edward?" I panted.

"Shh Bella, yes honey it's me. Who else?" I was dazed as his heart melting crooked smile returned. It's seemed like forever since I last saw that. I smiled up at him, tears leaking from the corner of my eyes.

"Bella, it's alright. Don't cry, please don't cry. It'll be over soon."

"Edward, I'm not crying because I'm in pain, well that's part of it, but I'm happy. I thought I died. I thought I would never see you again." I confessed. I closed my eyes and bit my lip as a wave of pain pummeled into me. Edward kissed my forehead.

"Silly Bella," he chuckled, "don't you remember what happened?"

"No. I don't. I thought you were too late to save me."

"Bella I did save you, not how I would've liked but you'll be fine." It took a moment for that to register in my mind.

"Edward, do you mean…?"

"Yes Bella," he answered stiffly, "you'll be a vampire in a few hours."

"Aren't you happy?"

"Bella! Of course I am I just didn't want to damn you. I'm now the cause for your lost soul. I'll never be able to forgive myself."

I scoffed. "Edward…I'll be fine… I love you… and now I…get to spend…eternity…with the one…I love." It was getting so much harder to control the pain.

"Sleep now Bella. This is the hardest part of the transformation, and the most painful. If it looks like to much for you to handle, I'll have Carlisle sedate you until it's over." He tenderly kissed my lips and started humming my lullaby. The pain subsided as the last of the pain vanished.

'I'm almost done.' I smiled and that was the last coherent thought before I was submerged in a never-ending pit of black abyss.

My eyes slowly opened. Anticipation seeped through my being. I had utterly no idea what to expect. Would I be as gorgeous as Rosalie? Or would I still be plain old human-looking Bella? I cringed and hoped it wasn't the last one. This was my chance to be close to Edwards equal. If I look like I had before, they would be an even more reason for us not to be together. I was tired of waiting so I opened my eyes the rest of the way and was met by a pale faced goddess. Myself. I gaped at my own reflection in the mirror. I couldn't believe it was actually me.

"You always looked this way to me. I'm just glad you can finally see it." I have missed that voice for three longs days. I turned to my right and caught site of my own Greek god holding the mirror for me. He smiled and I smiled in return. He bent down and ever so lightly kissed my lips. I didn't want a butterfly kiss. I tried to deepen it, but when I went to tangle my hands in his hair, my arms stayed where they where. Edward felt my struggle and looked at me quizzically.

"Edward, I really am confused as to why you're being so careful and why I'm tied down to the bed." I looked at him expectedly waiting for an answer.

He laughed. LAUGHED! I couldn't believe him. I glared and he tried to calm down.

"I'm so sorry Bella; it's just that you're so impatient even now." He continued to laugh as I looked at him, purely offended at his remark. "Don't take it the wrong way Bella, truly. It's fine. Oh and your tied down because you were thrashing around to much and we didn't want you to get hurt anymore than you already were." He hung his head, as if ashamed that he had saved me.

"Edward Cullen you look at me right this instant." He looked up and I continued. "Don't you for one second think that I hate you or even are mad at you for what you did, it was the only way and I understand that. Plus now that I'm a vampire we don't have to be as careful." Wow, being changed really boosted my confidence. "Now kindly untie me so we can do this the right way."

He laughed again but abide to my wishes. Once untied I jumped up and kissed him back with as much passion as I could muster but he merely held me at bay.

"Bella, calm down. You know id love to but Alice is going to kill me if I don't get you in the family room soon so she can see you. I just got you for eternity so I'd rather not end my existence."

I smiled and hugged him as tightly as I could. "I love you Edward."

"I love you to Isabella. Forever." We held each other until we could hear Alice screaming for us to come down. We laughed and went down to assure that Alice wouldn't come up and end either of our existences.
