Chapter 21
"Beth" my father started, "Lillie has been in an accident."
"What! Lillie!! Accident!" I couldn't form a coherent sentence. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I leaned against Chace, who supported most of my weight.
"Yes Beth, dear, we will explain fully once we are in the car." My parents hardly seemed worried about the accident. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. However, I just had a feeling that it was very serious.
We walked quickly through the airport. I was in shock. Was Lil Okay? What kind of "accident" was she involved in?" If her injuries, if she, had any, were fatal, did Carlisle or Edward attempt to change her?
We got to the Volvo. Chace and I slid into the backseat. Chace wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close to his chest. He continued to rub my back attempting to keep me calm.
Once my parents were in the car. I looked at my father and thought, "Dad, what happened!!" I couldn't speak I was still in shock.
"Beth, you have to promise me that you will keep calm and not over react. Can you do that for me?" I just nodded my head. "Well first off Lillie will be okay. So don't worry about that. However, she won't ever be the same. We had to change her. Her injuries were fatal, and since she wanted to be changed anyway and Catherine gave us permission then we went ahead and changed her."
"But Dad, what happened? What kind of accident? How did she get hurt?"
"Well
she was involved in a hit and run incident. It was night and she was
walking back from the library and a car swerved off of the road and
hit her and then sped off into the night. Alice had a vision but we
were just a little too late to prevent the accident, but we weren't
to late to save her. We gave her enough morphine and let it take
effect and then we injected the venom. She was quite because of the
morphine so she could appear dead for the authorities. Today was the
close casket ceremony. Of course Lillie was just upstairs s in
Chace's old room changing. Her transformation should be just
about complete by the time we get home. Now Beth, you know the drill
you have to seem extremely sad when in the public eye. Lillie is
supposed to be dead so she will not be able to be seen at all. Also,
she will not be able to be around humans until we are sure that she
can control herself." My father ended seriously. " By the way
Lillie was given your, room Chace., considering you have practically
moved into Beth's room. So I hope your okay with permanently moving
into her room.' My father added with a genuine smile. He was not
being a smart ass. He was being serious. He was really being serious
about Chace moving in with me. I mean I could see his point the only
thing Chace did in his own room was change his clothes, and my room
had a completely empty closet for Chace. I was suddenly happy at that
simple fact.
I was calm for the rest of the trip home. I just sat there wrapped in Chace's arms and I was content. Chace's arms was definitely my favorite place to be. He was everything I ever wanted and I just knew he felt the same way about me. My parents seemed to get that we completed each other and there was no other person who would be more perfect for either Chace or myself.
As we pulled into the garage I was suddenly pulled out of my dream world. It was time to face my best friend, who was now a newborn vampire. I didn't know if her transformation was complete yet or not. For the first time I was actually scared to see Lillie. I knew that I would have to phase on the initial meeting, just in case.
We got out of the car ad went into the house. Nobody was downstairs. Everyone was in Chace's room. Lillie's transformation wasn't complete just yet. But it was almost!! Edward, Bella, Chace, and I went straight upstairs.
It was quiet when we walked into the room. Carlisle was the closest to the bed on which Lillie laid. Her features had already changed. She was beautiful; yet still the same in a way. Chace and I went to stand by Emmett and Jasper. We were the protective force. As far as Edward, Bella and Chace were concerned, they did not want me on the "front line" but I was logically for me to be there. Not only was I the strongest in the family, I was as strong, as Lillie would be, and also because Lillie was my best friend and she would listen to me. The only way tht Chace was comfortable with me in this position was if he was there with me.
Suddenly we heard Lillie's heart accelerate and then stop forever. A groan escaped from Lillie's lips. Her eyes fluttered open revealing the blood ed eyes that only belonged to a newborn vampire.
So here is chapter 21. There hasn't been a lot of Lillie in the story, but there will be a lot more of her now that she is part of the Cullen Family! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will try to update soon! Please review! A lot!!
