Author notes: A big thanks goes out to SG51169 for helping me with this chapter. I am not fond of this chapter at all. It was a huge pain in the butt to write. I swear as this fanfic is coming to an end it's getting harder to write these chapters.

I absolutely, positively can't believe that the last chapter generated so many responses. To be honest, I had planned on Emmett changing Bella for a month or so now. I'm so glad it was well liked.

The next chapter will be out a little bit later. I'm getting sick again and I don't have Dr. Cullen to care for me so I have to suffer. So yeah. Enjoy this one.

Chapter Thirty-Three

A fierce snarl caught Emmett's attention as he finished with Bella. Injecting the venom that is, not eating her. It was a hard task for him to do. He wanted to drink her blood. He had started to but remembered in the middle of his moment of temporary insanity that he was trying to save her and not kill her.

His eyes were golden with a hue of red from the human blood in his system. He would have to go hunting later, if he survived the wrath of his brother. Where was Jasper when you needed him?

Hearing his mate's cries of pain sent Edward into overprotective mode. He attacked his brother, snarling. All thoughts of reason went right out the door. The only thing on his mind was to protect Bella. He sent Emmett out the window and went right after him.

"Edward!" Esme shouted at her son but it felt on deaf ears. "Alice, is Jasper almost here?" Oh, how she wished Carlisle was here.

"He'll be here in ten minutes." Alice said as they watched the two boys fight without any playfulness. Emmett was trying to dodge Edward trying not to think of the next move. Edward grabbed Emmett by the throat and slammed him into the ground with such force it caused the cement below them to crack and leave an imprint of Emmett's body.

He smashed Emmett's head into the ground harder than before, causing his brother to lose consciousness.

Edward bit at his throat, planning to rip his brother's head off when he was knocked off Emmett. Rosalie ran to Emmett and ran a hand down her husband's face as Jasper tries to bring Edward under control. Edward snapped at Jasper.

Calm, Edward. Being angry isn't going to help Bella. Jasper said mentally to his brother as he sent waves after wave of calm, tranquilizing peace to Edward. He also sent waves of lethargy towards him. Wave after wave of calm and lethargic feelings came over Edward until he couldn't struggle anymore and fell limp in his brother's arms, half conscious.

"Edward," Jasper started to say, trying to decide on what to say. "Edward, you need to get a grip on yourself. Bella needs you." At the mention of Bella's name, he became a snarling beast again, trying to pull away from Jasper. The urge to kill his big, burly brother was back and stronger.

How dare Emmett decide to change Bella. It wasn't his choice to make and for taking that choice away, Emmett had to pay. Jasper held Edward in a tight hold. Edward's rational thought process was overridden by the protect-Bella-at-all-cost mode. Jasper knew he saw Emmett as a threat that had to be eliminated.

He also knew that once Edward had calmed down, he would regret killing his brother, and so Jasper did the only thing he could do. He knocked Edward out by sending strong waves of calm and lethargy feeling towards him and felt his brother fall limp in his arms again.

"Best keep Emmett away from him for a while, Rosalie." Jasper said as he took Edward up to his room and dumped him on the sofa. It was unnerving to see a vampire unconscious.

Downstairs, Bella's screams could be heard as she begged someone to stop the burning. Jasper could hear Esme trying to sooth Bella, promising it would be over.

"It'll be all over soon." Esme said softly as she brushed Bella's hair out of her face. Bella leaned into the cold hand, trying to find relief, but found none. The burning sensation continued, causing her young human daughter to let out a little scream.

"Make it stop, mama!" Bella cried as she squeezed the hand she was holding as tight as she could. The others tried to block out the sound.

Outside, Rosalie was tending to her husband, brushing his curly hair back and stroking his face gently. He was still lying on the ground, recovering from Edward's attack. Emmett was sure he was facing certain death at the hands of his brother and he was surprised at how strong he seemed. He was supposed to be the strong one.

"Emmett, why did you bite her?" Rosalie asked as she continued to stroke his face. "What made you do such a thing?" She and Bella weren't close like Bella was to the others. They argued and butted heads a lot like some siblings would, but she loved Bella and didn't want to see her go through three days of pain. In fact, if it weren't for the Volturi, she'd try to stop anyone from turning her little sister into a vampire.

Emmett finally opened his eyes and looked at Rosalie. "To save her." He whispered, softly. "Edward wasn't doing a great job at protecting her from the Volturi scum. He was just putting off the inevitable. I don't want to lose my baby sister. I love her too much."

Rosalie smiled and kissed him. "At least you did something right." She was rewarded with his goofy grin. She smiled back, then frowned when he winced. "Edward bit you. He wanted to tear your head off. Jasper stopped him."

Emmett groaned. "He's not going to forgive me. Not for a while." Rosalie didn't say anything, instead just helped him up. Emmett pulled her close and hugged her, kissing the top of his mate's head. "I love you, Rosie."

"I love you too, Em." She whispered.

After a while, Jasper eased up on the hold he had over Edward and watched him carefully as he woke up. Edward stirred and opened his eyes. "Jasper…?" Edward said as he became aware of what's going on. He could hear Bella's soft whimpers and Esme's words of comfort. He could hear Emmett talking to Rosalie and Alice on the phone with Carlisle.

"Now, are you going to behave?" Edward nodded. "Good. Now go to Bella. She needs you." Edward got up from his couch and ran a hand down his face, he still felt tired. Jasper led Edward to Bella's room where they had put Bella.

Edward didn't leave her side once he was there. He laid next to her, holding her close as she went through her transformation.

Emmett came in the room and saw Edward. He hung back for a few moments before coming forward. "Eddie?" his voice was hesitant as he stepped a bit closer, but backed away when he heard a low snarl coming from Edward. Yes, his brother was still mad at him. Emmett left the room, dejectedly, and went to Rosalie.

Edward snuggled close to Bella, kissing her forehead. He wasn't looking forward into looking into those red eyes, and he knew he would miss those dark brown eyes of hers.

Oh well, at least the Volturi wouldn't do anything… right? He thought uncertain of his thoughts.

She woke up with a clear vision. Everything was brighter, clearer. She could see the dust particles in the air and she could taste them. She heard the voices downstairs clear as if she were there. The sounds of birds outside singing and the squirrels that were burying their nuts and acorns for later.

"Edward? What happened?" She asked, confused. "Why am I in bed?"

Bella had no recollection of the past three days. Her mind had simply blocked the unfortunate and painful event. A mind, even a vampire's mind, was a complex thing. It would do what it needed to do to protect itself. Edward frowned.

"Bella…" Edward said softly, "You're a vampire."

To be continued…

End notes: I was watching the Volturi clip on youtube, where Felix slams Edward into the floor, hard. If you watch carefully, you could see that Edward looks like he's about to lose consciousness from the force, but manages to keep awake. So that's how I figured that, yes, it is possible to knock out a vampire with the right amount of force.

Jasper can knock out Edward cus he's just so awesome with his awesome emotion controlling skills.

Anyways review. Make me feel better and tell me this isn't a crappy chapter.

PS: Do you know how hard it is to write a chapter that doesn't have Carlisle there to help calm Edward down? Very hard.
