Things Can Change, Even If they're Ancient
Was I dead? I wasn't breathing and my heart had stopped but I could think. The change had worked. A scent wafted to me, my throat burned in desire. A human…my instincts kicked into overdrive. I wanted to run, to catch, to kill…to drink. Desire burned through my body like a million fires.
My eyes flew open, everything was sharp and bright. So much clearer then when I was human. I sat up within less then a second to see Edward looking at me by the door. He was in a casual position leaning against the door but his body was tense and I could tell he was ready to jump me if I tried to escape.
It was night outside and the moon helped give a reflection of me on the window. I looked the same but my eyes were a bright distracting red and my skin was pale. Instead of ordinary I was now beautiful.
I breathed in deeply smelling the new and unfamiliar scent of human blood, I tensed ready to run for the door when Edward tackled me holding me down. I fought and he knew he was losing against my newborn strength.
"Emmet, Jasper." Edward grounded it out through his teeth as I pushed him off. They ran into the room to tackle me, I couldn't get three of them off of me and I knew it.
"Let me go!" I snarled sensing the human moving farther away.
"No, this is for your own good." Edward told me trying to get me to calm down and stop struggling. I stopped struggling realising that this was my family and they were doing what was best for me. I didn't want to kill humans.
"I'm okay now guys, thanks for helping." They stared at me warily letting me get up but staying close by. Alice ran up to me when I got to the lounge, she tackled me in a hug followed by Rosalie and Esme. I laughed while being crushed with love.
"It's nice to see you guys but I'm really thirsty so can we, you know." My throat burned more as the seconds passed. They smiled and opened the door to the whole new world.
All the colours of the colours of the forest were so bright and vivid and everything was in perfect focus. I sniffed the air and smelt a small grouping of deer not to far off. My feet carried me to the outside of the clearing they were in within a minute.
"Good job Bella." Edward's voice was at a pitch that the animals wouldn't hear, his breath tingled against my ear as I stared at them. I could hear their hearts beating and the blood pumping through their veins.
"Just let your instincts take over." He whispered in my ear. I followed his instructions and just went with it. In seconds I had pounced broke ones neck and was draining the blood. My shirt was drenched in the blood of the deer, whoops. I needed some practice. My throat wasn't burning as much but I was still thirsty so I guess it was time to catch some of the deer that got away.

"You ruined a gorgeous top Bella!" Alice whined looking at the wreck of blood on my new top. It was singlet styled and dark blue with black lace at the top and bottom. It was matched with some black skinny jeans and dark blue peep toe heeled shoes.
"Well at least I didn't ruin the shoes." Alice was acting like the word had ended but if she didn't want the top ruined then she shouldn't have let me wear it for my first hunt. I'm surprised she didn't see it in a vision.
Suddenly Alice poked her head back out of her gigantic closet and threw a baby doll dark blue top with three quarter sleeves at me which I quickly put on feeling naked in just a bra. I really hope Alice doesn't expect to dress me every day.
The doorbell rang, I stiffened instantly and tentatively sniffed the air hoping it wasn't a human but who else could it be. I crinkled my nose in disgust and wanted to gag, Alice saw my face and laughed.
"Now you no we don't lie when we say werewolves stink." Her voice held amusement. Alice linked arms with me and lead me downstairs to where Sam, Paul, Jacob and Seth stood by the door awkwardly.
"Hello Sam, we were expecting you to show up soon considering the circumstances." Carlisle greeted them warmly.
"We are here to discuss the treaty; it has been broken…but under different circumstances then thought earlier." Sam was careful how he phrased his sentence and kept shooting not so subtle glances at me.
"Are you saying that there will not be a fight?" Carlisle asked carefully while I looked at Jacob confused. He flashed a grin at me.
"Billy did something unforgivable so we are offering to overlook it this time but the treaty is still the same." I was shocked to say the least and I could now understand why Jacob was smiling at me.
"Thank you Sam, it will not be broken again." Carlisle told him kindly while the rest of us stood with our mouths hanging open.
"Thanks Sam, see you around Jacob." I mumbled smiling slightly.
Who knew things can change; even if they're ancient.
