Author's Note: Hey everyone! I'm so sorry it's been so long since I updated. I just got back from spring break on Tuesday, and I went to Washington D.C., then New York, then Los Angeles…It was crazy. Plus, before and after spring break I had a whole bunch of schoolwork. So I'm really sorry!

Anyways…I know I've said this several times…but…THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! I appreciate everything y'all do to support me. (i.e. reviews, story alerts, etc.) And please keep it coming! I love to hear how you react to the stories, or any suggestions you want to make. And sorry for the short chapters, on Word it's so much longer! But I'll work on that. Enjoy!

Chapter Four

Exactly three hours, forty seven minutes later, Bella's transformation was complete. Her heart thundered louder than ever, her screams hair rising. She thrashed about so much Carlisle and I both had to hold her down. Then, as suddenly as it began, she was perfectly still. Her eyelids fluttered slightly, and her fingers twitched. Her perfect figure stirred slightly, and she simultaneously moaned softly.

I raced to her at vampire speed. I grabbed her hand and ran my other through her hair. "Bella, my love? Are you okay?" I whispered to her. I looked over to Alice, who was counting down how long it would be until Bella opened her eyes in her head. Five… four… three… two… one. At one she pointed a finger in Bella's direction, redirecting my focus.

Bella's eyes opened, and her new eyes were a shocking bright red. I would miss her old chocolate brown. "Bella?" I asked.

She looked at me, confusion written all over her lovely features. "Edward?" she answered. Her brow furrowed slightly. "What's going on?"

"Now, don't panic, Bella…We just have a few things to explain to you," Carlisle said, steeping forward carefully. I was glad Rosalie and Emmett had gone on a hunting trip a few days ago. Rosalie probably would not be happy that I had just created a new vampire for the family. Jasper had left to join them after school the day I attacked Bella, also, although his presence would be welcome. It would be helpful to have him around, just in case Bella, like the typical newborn vampire, had some emotional issues.

Alice danced forward. "Before we explain everything, you should probably take a look in the mirror…" She dashed out of the room before Bella could answer, a dazzling smile on her face. She grabbed a full length mirror from her room, and was back in half a second. She held it up with a flourish as Bella hesitantly climbed off the couch. She walked slowly forward towards the mirror. Upon seeing her reflection, Bella's hand flew up to her mouth in surprise. She moved her hand around as she watched her reflection; I assumed to make sure it really was her in the mirror. My mind focused on Alice's, it was growing very impatient. She was about to open her mouth and question Bella, but I held up my hand to stop her "Give her a minute," I told her under my breath.

Just then, a ray of sunshine broke through the clouds outside and shone into my room. It hit Bella, bathing her in a soft glow, making her look angelic. However, that's not what caught my attention. Bella's skin transformed into diamonds, dazzling my eyes. I moved towards her subconsciously, entranced by her beauty. I saw already round eyes widen even more in shock as she stares at her sparkling reflection. She lifted her hand up to her face and was inspecting it closely, fascinated, as I approached her. She jumped slightly when I stepped up next to her, and I slowly ran my hand down the length of her arm, amazed by the rainbows both our skin were throwing on the opposite wall. She looked up at me with round eyes. "What happened to me? I look so different…I look like…you…" She whispered as she stared at me.

"It's alright, my love. Everything's fine," I lied smoothly to her. I reached up to stroke her face, then quickly dropped my hand as she flinched away.

"Son, maybe we should explain everything to her…" Carlisle remarked softly.

"Everything?" Alice cut in.

Carlisle nodded. "Everything."
