Well, we are starting to wind down in terms of chapters in part one. Just two more after this before getting to part two. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's take it slow and let me explain this format: as always, the italicized writing means Edward is speaking and the normal-style writing, in this case, is for Cara's narration. In the case of bold italics, this informs you that they are speaking together (I wish this could be read in the form of a poem... it would be so beautiful and haunting, if I do say so myself). This is from their point of view during the days of the change where they are cognizant to nothing other than their pain. It is important to note that since Cara was the first to be bitten, Carlisle took much more blood from her, making her weaker than Edward and feel more pain. Although they're both basically on the same page. And of course the word pain will substitute for the sound of a heartbeat and the ending dots mean their hearts have stopped. It will all make sense soon. Be sure to comment my lovelies!
...
It was fire.
It had to be fire.
I felt the flames burn my body.
It happened so quickly that my life didn't even have the time to flash before me.
My mind burned.
The fire seeped into every fiber of my natural being.
It clung to my organs and ran through my veins,
Boiling my blood.
The flames burned unapologetically,
For days.
It crippled me and broke me—
As it healed me and strengthened me.
There is no way to explain the hurt and power I felt.
It was torture.
It was empowering.
I was invincible.
I was broken.
Somewhere far off, there was a scream that chilled me to my very core.
I knew it was my scream,
But could not recognize it.
The fire made me suffer,
But it was the screams that killed me.
As I lay in bed, every breath…
Every heartbeat was pain.
Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain.
I knew she was dying.
Pain, pain, pain, pain.
And he could not be saved.
Pain… Pain… Pain… Pain…
With every slow heart beat,
Pain… Pain… Pain… Pain...
I felt a glimmer of hope.
Pain…
If…
Pain…
When I perish,
Pain.
I know she will be there.
Pain.
And finally,
Pain.
We will be together.
Pain…
But for right now,
Pain…
There was just pain.
Pain…
Pain.
Pain.
Pain.
Pain.
