Chapter 10
BPOV
Alice walks in just as I'm getting out of the shower. She has my new dress in her hand.
"Good morning Alice." I smile.
"Good morning Bella," she smiles back. "Let me help you with this."
"Thanks."
"So are you ready yet?"
"Shockingly, yes. I thought I'd be a wreck but I am so relaxed."
I step into the dress; Alice zips me up and ties the top behind my hair.
"Is Edward okay?" I ask.
"Yes, oddly he is just as calm as you are. I think he has found his peace with it. You blessed him out." She giggles at the end.
I breath a sigh of relief as she whips a braid into my hair and ties a rubber band in to keep it.
"Simple and beautiful." She chirps.
"Thank you Alice." I peck her on the cheek.
"You are welcome sis." She returns with a hug. "Let's go." She takes my hand and we walk downstairs together.
As we get downstairs, everyone was hard at work preparing but the second my foot hit the floor Edward's head snaps up. I smile at him and slightly bow my head to the side; I feel my face heat up. I don't have time to register anyone else in the room before Edward runs at vampire speed to my side.
"Umm," is all he says?
"Did I just render a vampire speechless?" I laugh.
His eyes looked me up and down.
"I like it." He grins.

I hear Bella's heart and it is steady, like today is any other day. I have to look at her, she smiles and bows her head to the side slightly. I see the blush flood her face. Then the dress captures my attention, and it was no wonder Alice blocked me. Bella was an angel in a vampire's house. It is a white dress that tied right under her hair and flowed as she walked; I look up and see a braid in her hair. It seemed to finish of the whole thing, showing her bare shoulders. I swear I could see her halo. I feel myself harden.
'Edward calm down please?' Jasper pleads
I put my hand on the small of Bella's back to lead her to the table were the rest of my family had gathered, I feel skin...I internally groan.
Edward, come on man...Focus!
I give Jasper an apologetic look and Emmett just smirks at me.
We get to the dining room and I pull out a chair for Bella so she could sit to listen to Carlisle explain the specifics. As she sat down Carlisle begins…
"Ok Bella you know you will not be able to be around humans for a time right?" Bella nods. "Alright now you need to know this will take three days and you will be in the most unbearable pain imaginable."
"I will do what I can." Jasper promises.
"And none of us are going anywhere." Rosalie adds.
"Okay." Bella takes a deep breath, smiles and nods.
Carlisle cleares his thought.
"Alright, Bella, are you ready?"
"Yes let's do this." She stands up, I instantly took her hand in mine and the whole family walks to Carlisle's office.
BOPV
After Carlisle went over what was going to happen and I had everyone's assurance that they were going to be there, and help as much as possible we all get up, Edward takes my hand and we all head to Carlisle's office.
When I walk in I see a bed covered with pillows not a desk.
They won't let me be uncomfortable.
This thought makes me smile as Carlisle motions for me to lie down. As I lay down the family ~my family~ gathers around me. I look into all their eyes and stop at Edward's eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you too."He is so calm it shocks me.
The cold hands brake my gaze, they are all finding their own place to bite. Carlisle is on the inside of my elbow, on one side and Esme on the other, Alice and Jasper each have a wrist, Rosalie and Emmet take my ankles, as Edward climbs between my legs to lean over me I know he wants my neck. I turn my head and close my eyes to relax. I feel them all suck a little bit, I don't understand why, but then seven sets of teeth sink in at the same time, their tongues following licking over my cuts. The burn hit right away and I shot my eyes open and then all went black. The fire starts almost immediately I could feel it searing through my veins. Carlisle was right, this pain is so unbelievable. I want to die, but then the pain is gone I relax, but a short time later its back.
What the hell is going on where does the pain go? Why doesn't it stay away I want to die. Edward, I'm doing this for Edward.
I see my family's faces flash before my closed eyes. My pain fires on getting stronger and stronger with lapses in the pain. They only last a few minutes at a time. I suffer like this for what felt like eternity, praying the whole time that it would stop. I try to focus on the end result; this gives me the strength I need to continue. Out of nowhere my heart speeds up beating so fast and hard I think I feel it hitting my ribs.
"It's too soon what went wrong Carlisle!" Its Edward; he's upset about something, what was too soon?
"Listen to her son it's the final beats." My father-in-law's words give me hope. I'm almost done but what is too soon?
"I can feel it, it was quick but also much more painful" Jasper adds. "She fought it the whole way pushing me out. I couldn't hold on for more than a few minutes at a time because of her."
"Edward look!" Alice shrills.
I feel the fire start to subside and my heart began to slow down. Everything around me is clearing up. I could feel every thread on the pillows and blanket, I could hear the rain outside, every leaf as the wind shook them, and the smells where overwhelming. With all the distractions I still feel like my throat is on fire, and wondering what Edward is supposed to see. Then my heartbeat became more distinct…
Thump…
Thump…
Th…um…p
Th…u…m…p
Th…u…m
I open my eyes to see my husband standing right here, looking at me like he didn't know what to say. I sat up, swung my legs over the side of the bed, and that's when everyone else caches my attention, they all look shocked. Edward looks back at Alice, then beck at me with a smile on his face.
EPOV
We all bite Bella as planed. As my family gathers around her I take my place on top of her to bite her neck. Bella knows exactly where I'm going, so she turns her head to give me better access. When we are all done I sit in a chair right beside her, and plan on staying here for the next three days, as the rest of my family gets comfortable in their own places.
Bella stays quiet I take her hand and hold it. While we wait Jasper helps Bella by taking her pain but I see him struggle. He seems to be able to hold on to her pain for only a few minutes at a time. I am so thankful for my brother.
"Edward don't get too comfortable where you are I see something different for her I just can't pin point it." Alice is frustrated.
"Will she come back to me?"
"Most definitely but it won't be in three days." I hate how smug she sounds sometimes.
"How long Alice?" I growl
"I'm not too sure but you know Bella, it has to be done her way."
It's a day and a half later and Bella's heart told me she is ending the transformation, I panic.
"It's too soon! Carlisle did it work?"
"Listen to her son it's the final beats." My father tried to reassure me, but Jasper felt my doubt.
"I can feel it, it was quick but also much more painful, she fought it the whole way pushing me out. I couldn't hold on for more than a few minutes at a time because of her." He points his head a Bella.
"Edward look!" Alice shows me Bella waking up and sitting on the side of the bed… changed. Relief shoots through me.
Then Bella's heart slows and stops in mid beat. I stand up and she opens her eyes, she looks right at me! With no warning she sits up and swings her lags over the side, to sit on the edge of the bed. It was Alice's vision! I couldn't help but look at Alice then back to Bella and smile.
Carlisle starts to speculate what happened.
Hum… I wonder if it was the mix of venoms that sped it upI wonder how the pain was…
I stop listening right there. The thought of Bella in pain was just too much for me. I still can't hear her though.
"Hum…" I'm frustrated.
"What?" she's concerned.
"Nothing love, I just thought I'd be able to hear you is all."
"Oh well try this." She closes her eyes as if to concentrate. Then…
'I love you more than ever Edward, but I think I'm thirsty'.
I shoot my eyes open.
"Bella I heard you!"
"Good. I can hear a thumping can we go please my throat hurts?"
Everyone is silent minds and voices, too shocked to speak. I drop my head and huff a laugh.
Only Bella could shock a room of vampires
"Edward, I think you should believe her I can't feel her at all now." Jaspers panic brakes through my shock.
"What!"Now I am completely confused.
"Ok, I really need to hunt can we ponder this later please?" She is begging now.
"Bella how in the world…" I can't finish my thought.
"I don't know Edward but if you don't show me how this works now, I will figure it out alone." With that she jumps out the window and we all follow. When we hit the ground she's already running, and running fast, towards a scent she picked up.
Bella was strong but I guess I never knew how strong. She's taking to this life like it was normal for her. Out of nowhere Alice had a vision and I see what she was seeing. It tells me I have to get to Bella before she ran across humans. She may be strong but is she really that strong?
ok review tell me what you think i'm close to the end.
