You don't know me very well if ya'll think I'd REALLY kill Bella!
E POV
"Go fetch." Rosalie smirked and threw the stick against Dean's head; he was trying to keep calm before but, Rosalie pushed him over the edge. His body shook vigorously and I knew what would happen.
My body twitched toward Bella to save her but I hesitated.
If I went to save Bella… Lizzy would be the one hurt. And if I let Lizzy be hurt- Bella would surely despise me for the rest of eternity… But I couldn't let him hurt Bella herself!
I looked at Bella and horror was clear in her eyes- except the horror wasn't for her own demise. The look was directed towards Lizzy- I'd never seen Bella so utterly horrified. That's when I knew, I had to choose the choice that had now become obvious.
It killed me to leap at Lizzy and leave Bella to be ripped apart by that monster. I pushed her into the brush to shield her eyes- she was the lucky one.
I could only watch as the boy changed forms, so terribly close to Bella, she cringed and tried to protect herself but of course, it was all in vain. The giant claws met with Bella's neck as her cries were silenced. At that moment- I felt nothing but pure hatred for the pathetic little pup.
That mutt hurt Bella- he was no longer worthy of life in my book.
I desperately wanted to hunt him down as he ran back to La Push with his tail between his legs- but Bella's attempts at breathing drew me toward what was more important to me. I was vaguely aware of a figure falling out of the bushes.
I huddled over her as Carlisle tried to slow down the bleeding.
The wound is too deep- it can't be stopped!
Carlisle thought anxiously as his hands pressed to her throat.
No… no, it can't be possible! Bella can't- won't die!
"Let's bring her inside." Carlisle said aloud. I grabbed her and whisked her into the house. I heard Rosalie come up behind us, slowly…
I set Bella down for Carlisle to work, and turned on my heels to face Rosalie; fire burned through my body- and I'm sure she saw it in my stare.
"Gosh stop being so mad! I was only kidding! It was a joke!" (AN- If you think this is OOC, then go read "miscalculation" in the "extras" section in the "New Moon" section on Stephenie Meyer's website.)
A snarl ripped through my lips and I lunged for her head- ready to rip it off.
I got on her back and started clawing at her head; I was going for the kill when I felt Emmett's and Jasper's arms wrap around my neck and waist. They dragged me off her back, with me kicking and breaking the floorboards.
"You evil blonde b-"
"Edward! We need you over here!" Carlisle called over to me. I growled in frustration- I saw Bella's crumpled body and my attention was caught. I hovered over her as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her heart stuttered ever three seconds.
Carlisle was rushing to do everything to save her- everything but the thing I knew would save her. I fought with myself before on whether to change her or not- but now there was no room for doubt, no room for indecision.
Bella's heart stopped beating altogether- I was out of time.
I pushed Carlisle out of the way and sunk my head to the open gash on her neck. I dug my mouth as deep as it could get into the wound- and bit. I brought my head back up and licked the wound shut, to seal in the venom and blood.
I shoved my hand to her chest and punched her heart to start beating again; nothing. I pushed harder and harder, but with no results.
Something outside caught my attention for a second.
"Please Lord…. And I ask in Jesus' name, Amen."
Bella's heart suddenly beat to life under my finger tips; it was faint but I wasn't going to let it slip from my grasp.
I bite into her arms and legs and kept sealing the wounds, and with every bite, her heartbeat got stronger and clearer.
I was filled with hope and light- as well as guilt. I promised myself I wouldn't damn her to this life, but of course all that was out the window now.
I'd bitten as may place I could, until her blood started to get too thick to have any outside force. I pulled back and sighed, I had the feeling of unbelievable exhaustion overtake me. I sank to the ground.
Forgive me Bella… please…
I heard footsteps behind me.
"W-will she be… alright?" Lizzy asked in a soft voice.
"No."
Horror filled her thoughts.
"Why? Is she… gone?"
"No, she's going to be a monster like I am, she'll have to live I the shadows for the rest of eternity- so No, she will not be alright." I spat flippantly.
I closed my eyes and heard her sit down next to me. "You're not a monster… she's getting what she wants… you know that." This girl had a one track mind.
"Lizzy… I'm sorry to break this to you but, you're just a child, you don't understand the gravity of becoming a creature of the night…"
"I'm sorry to break this to YOU, but it's not as big of a deal as you think it is. Edward, you're too close to see all angles of the situation- your too opinionated, I have a view to see both your reasons, and Mom's. And I'm telling you, you're blowing all of this way out of proportion." She completed.
"I need to be alone right now." Was my brilliant rebuttal, I felt her get up and retreat upstairs.
I remembered something.
"Why isn't she screaming?" I asked- Carlisle walked back over to her. Speculation clear in his eyes as he examined her.
"I'm not sure- it might be because of the morphine I tried to give her earlier. Maybe she's not even in pain at all, hold on to that hope Edward." He smiled shyly and ran upstairs.
I groaned and slipped my hand into Bella's and prepared for the wait.

Not much time left.
Alice thought as she passed by. I squeezed Bella's now cold hand in my own.
"Just a little bit longer Bella- it'll be over soon." I whispered in her ear. I'd paid so much attention to Bella over this past three days. Trying to take not of every twitch her body made- but she made none.
I thought about Lizzy, for once.
Oh, no.
"Get Lizzy out- now!" I shouted, louder than necessary. They didn't need explanation.
Alice came downstairs.
She's… not here. She thought timidly. My head whipped around and I glared at her.
"What do you mean 'not here'?" I snarled.
She… went to see… him.
"WHAT?!"I shouted in her face.
"EDWARD FREAKING GET A GRIP! YOU WANTED HER OUT- SHE'S OUT!"
"Will someone tell me what's going on?" A heavenly voice sang.
I slowly turned to see Bella- pale white and red eyed- sitting on the edge of the table she was once laying on. I couldn't stop my jaw dropping at the sight of her as an immortal- she was every bit as glorious as she was as a human, maybe even better looking. IF that were even possible.
I saw the planes of her angelic face…. The lusciousness if her chocolate brown hair… her curious eyes as they stared in awe and racked over my body…
If I were human- I would have blushed like Bella- used to. A bit of sadness settled into my heart, I would miss that.
She cleared her throat, I wasn't sure why- it certainly wasn't a necessity.
"Well… will someone tell me what's going on? And why did you send Lizzy away…"Ah, she didn't know of the newborn stage.
"Bella, you're a newborn- you shouldn't be this logical, this much in control. When you catch the scent of a human… I'm afraid you'll go into a frenzy…" I looked down shamefully. "I didn't want you to…" I trailed off, unable to finish.
"Oh…" She sighed sadly. "When will I have that much control to see my daughter again?" Sadness overtook me.
"I-I'm not sure…" I lied. Her face dropped into the palms of her hands and small sobs rocked her body.
"But she went to see Dean." Alice interrupted. I made a cut-throat motion with my hands and waved my hands trying to silence her.
"She is?" I expected an angry tone to color her voice, but she only sounded curious.
"Yes… she is." I answered, expecting an explosion. "But don't worry, we'll forbid her to ever see her or you again, you have my word." I tried to reassure her.
Her eyebrows furrowed. "Why would you think I'd want that? Jeez Edward, it was an accident for Christ sakes!"
"You say that now… but you're still a newborn Bella, what you say now cannot determine your actions later-"
"Me being a newborn isn't relevant to the situation!"
"It has EVERYTHING relevant to the situation!"
"WILL YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP! The whole future just disappeared! I think we might have a certain someone come by." She turned to me. "Edward, don't kill him, and Bella," She turned to Bella, "Make sure you kept Edward from killing him. It'll take all your newborn strength and focus to hold onto him, so it will be safe to be around him."
"And what of Lizzy?" I answered.
Alice whistled and suddenly everyone's hands were on Bella holding her, disabling movement. She didn't struggle- she must think this was necessary to see her daughter.
I heard footsteps approach the house, one lighter and one heavier. The door clicked open.
Show time.
