A/N- Hey everyone! So sorry about the little incident on the last chapter (updating it wrong). So I know a lot of you didn't appreciate the cliffy so here's the rest of it!

Hotredhead, Alyssa, SurferGirl711- Thank you for letting me know about the mistake. If you hadn't told me… I probably wouldn't have noticed and had a lot more angry reviews/readers.

twilghtfan78- I'm not going to try and count the really's. But I do really really really really really appreciate it!

Happycookbook- Don't worry… you'll see…

Pain and darkness. That's all I could register. They twisted together then tore apart, thrumming all over my body. I groaned and the sound seemed to reverberate through my body. I thought I heard James talking to me sometimes, but I was never sure. Eventually the pain died out and the darkness was the only thing I knew.

When I was convince I was dying the pain returned, this time worse than before. I screamed, the sound almost bursting an eardrum. The pain turned into a scalding flame that engulfed my body. Since time seemed to be warp I didn't know how long I was burning, but eventually the pain numbed all of my senses and once more I knew nothing but darkness.

oOoOoOo

The sensation of being painless surprised me. I had been in pain for so long I wasn't expecting to not be in pain. I did a mental check list of my body, wiggling my finger and toes. Slowly I opened my eyes. As soon as light entered through my eye lids it seemed as though every other sense came crashing down on me. I screamed when all of the sounds erupted in my ears and all of the sites overwhelmed my eyes.

"Cerys?" Someone said as they held me down. I threw their hand off of my arm and jumped into a defensive stance. Without thinking I pounced. When I finally realized what I was doing I looked down, to find James under me with surprise clearly written all over his face.

"James?" I asked quietly. I retreated off of his form and found my way to a corner. I could hear other people running to the room. I looked up at the door to see the Denali clan and the Cullen's father peering down at me. "James? What's going on?" I cradled back on my heels and wrapped my arms around my knees. I thought I should have been crying, but instead it felt like my eyes were just gagging. "My throat burns!"

Before I knew it James had me pulled in his arms and was pouring a sweet, thick liquid down my throat. It tasted so good, that I grabbed the cup and tried to drink more. I even tried to lick the cup clean. "More!" I cried when James pulled the cup away. Someone gave him another and I finished that one as well. I was finally calming down as the burn in my throat lessened. I looked at everyone in the room and then up at James. "James, what's going on?" I asked again.

"James, I think you should explain this to her." The Cullen vampire said. He ushered everyone out of the room, leaving me with James again.

"James?" I whispered.

"We were driving back to your house after the prom. You were falling asleep, but had asked me if I had enjoyed myself and was happy I went. I said of course, naturally, and then you went back to resting your head on the window. You told me you loved me and I said I loved you too. Then within only a few seconds a car plowed into your side.

"It carried us into the other side of the street before we were able to be stopped by a stop light pole. The crash should have killed us both, but almost killed you. The impact had crushed your ribs, a few of them piercing your lungs. None of them had pierced your heart, but there was a lot of damage to you other organs as well. I had to change you at the site; you wouldn't have survived the trip to the hospital. I couldn't lose you like that, not to a car crash."

"So I'm a vampire." I asked. I was still in my corner, but James had let me go, gotten up, and was now sitting in a chair across from the room.

"I had no other choice." James replied.

"What about a body? I mean, don't they want a body?" I asked.

"We made it so the car burned completely. I got you out and started to change you while the others made sure the car burned just to its frame. There can't be a body now." James explained.

"My mom?" I asked quietly.

"Torn up, but already planning a closed funeral for both of us. Tanya and Kate have been staying with her and helping. They've convinced her to let them pay. They also told her I was an orphan so she wouldn't look for any of my family."

"Mom." I cried in anguish. "Who did this? Who caused this?"

"Some people from your school. Apparently we weren't the first to leave, like we thought. Some people had left earlier in the night and went off to get drunk. They were just joy riding when they crashed into us. When I knew you had enough venom in you, I went back to the crash site and almost had the first one in my grasp when someone, I think Eleazar stopped me. He pulled me back and took me back to you.

We all brought you back to Alaska. Tanya and Kate immediately returned to your home to help your mother, but Eleazar and Carmen went to see Carlisle for help. He's had the most experience with the change so we thought it would be a good idea for him to be here."

"So it was Edward's father?" I asked.

"It is. He is also a doctor so he can get blood for you. If we didn't have that cup then you'd probably have wiped out a town by now. Plus he made sure your body healed correctly. We didn't want your bones to heal awkwardly just so we would have to re-break them."

"Really? I'm that dangerous?" I asked.

"Newborns are extremely dangerous." James explained. "It's hard to control the urges, hence the reason you can't see your mother again."

"What about when I control the thirst?" I asked.

"It will take years, if not longer for you to control the blood lust." James explained.

"James? I'm scared. I don't want to be a threat to the humans." I cried out. I ran over to James, making us almost fall backwards on the chair. James wrapped his arms around me and let me dry cry into his chest.

"You won't be. We're all here to help you." James replied. "We'll learn to be vegetarian together."

"Do you promise?" I asked. James nodded and kissed my shoulder. For the first time his lips weren't cold when they touched my skin. They actually felt warm and comforting, instead of cold and startling. I couldn't help it, but I moaned at the simple touch.

I twisted in James' arms and started kissing him passionately. James' arms were wrapped tightly around my waist. His head was tilted back as I kissed him. I moved again, so I could straddle his waist. We moaned at the contact.

"James?"

"Yes?"

"Fuck me." I growled. James just grinned before taking me to the bed and doing just as I requested.

oOoOoOo

James led me out of the room and into the living room. As we were walking down the hall I came across the mirror and stopped, surprising James. James just looked quizzically at me, but waited. My complexion was completely clear. I had a few acne scars already, but they were completely gone. My teeth were perfectly straight and white. My hair was silky smooth and shinny. But what caught my eyes the most were my eyes. They were a deep ruby red, just like James'. I looked up at him through the mirror and studied his face as well.

"James, my eyes? They're like yours."

"All newborns have red eyes."

"What kind of blood did you give me when I woke up?" I asked.

"It was human. It will ease the pain faster than animal blood."

"So you killed someone for that?" I asked. The idea of someone dying so I could drink their blood still scared me.

"No, like I said before, Carlisle was able to get the blood from a local hospital." James replied. I nodded and relaxed in James' arms.

When we finally made it to the living room, I first saw Eleazar and Dr. Cullen standing next to the mantle talking quietly. As we walked closer to the room I saw Irina, Laurent, and Carmen all sitting on the couch. Irina was in Laurent's arms and laughing at something Carmen said.

"It looks like James finally finished explaining everything to Cerys… and I mean everything." Laurent joked with a grin. Thank god I couldn't blush anymore because I knew I would have if I could.

"How are you feeling?" Carlisle asked.

"Fine. Just a little heart broken over not seeing my mom again." I replied.

"That's good. Do you know what kind of life you're going to commit with?" Carlisle asked. Everyone's attention seemed to be on me and I joked on the answer.

"We've agreed to attempt the vegetarian life." James said.

"Really?" Carlisle said from the mantle. I think his surprise was more over James' decision to become vegetarian than mine.

"Really." James replied.

"But you just bit Bella only a few months ago. Plus, your eyes are still red." Carlisle replied.

"I had a relapse before the prom and almost one after." James explained. "I didn't want to have a break down in the prom and possibly hurt Cerys. I couldn't take any chances."

"You were worried more for me than anyone else in the prom?" I asked.

"Of course." James kissed the side of my head. I sighed into the touch and was sad when he pulled away.

The phone rang and shocked me out of my reverie. Carmen was the first to the phone and mumbled a few things into the receiver. Even with my better hearing I couldn't hear what she was saying or who was on the other end. Carmen hung up and walked back to the living room, choosing to stand next to Eleazar rather than sitting back on the couch. That was when I realized that Eleazar was staring intently at me. It made me uncomfortable and I tried to bury myself in James' chest.

"The funeral is in 2 days." Carmen announced.
