Moonlight

Awakening

RosaliePOV

" When are they going to get here?" I shrieked. I was freaking out. Emmett was lying on a table, ready for the bite, but I couldn't do it. I knew I would kill him and Bella and Jasper would never forgive me. I would never forgive me. Also Edward and Alice would never forgive me for making their mates so unhappy. Then Carlisle and Esme would be disappointed. That would be the worst one. I strived everyday to make Carlisle and Esme proud of me. I had never tasted human blood. That is why this would be so hard.

" They will be here soon Rosie. Calm down. I trust you. I believe you can do it without their help. Please I want you to change me," Emmett said from the table.

" I can't," I whispered fearfully.

" Please Rosie," he murmured. The morphine was starting to kick in so maybe he won't feel it.

I was about to answer when I heard a car pull off the main road and start the long drive to the vineyard that Emmett had rented out for us for our honeymoon. Suddenly, I wanted to be the one who did it. I wanted it to be my venom that ran through the love of my life's veins. And I knew I could do it.

The car was coming closer and I could smell everyone but Jasper and Bella.

Quickly, I ran to Emmett.

" I'll do it," I said, my eyes shining. Emmet grinned and then shut his eyes.

" I love you," he whispered as I sunk my teeth into the soft skin of his throat. The taste of the hot red liquid washing over my teeth and down my throat was unbelievable. It was like nothing I had ever tasted before. I vaguely heard the doors open and then shouting but all I could taste was the sweet, sweet liquid. Then Emmett stirred feebly and something snapped inside of me. I was killing my husband. I took one last, savoury gulp and detached my teeth.

" Rose?" Carlisle asked. He was in a running pose halfway towards Emmett and I.

" I did it," I breathed.

" Yeah, you did," Carlisle said smiling. Alice squealed and ran towards me giving me a massive hug.

" I knew you could do it," she whispered in my ear. I grinned and let her go. Edward was leaning against the wall, smiling.

" You did good Rose," he grinned. I beamed.

Then the screaming started. I shuddered and looked over to my love. His face was all screwed up and he was screaming louder than anything I had every heard.

" Oh Emmett, I am so sorry. It'll stop; soon, it'll stop. I promise," I whispered in his ear and stroked his bronze curly hair.

" He can hear you Rose," Edward said in my ear, " All he is thinking is your name over and over,"

I smiled gently and continued stroking his hair. Edward sat with me for ages telling me everything that was running through Emmett's mind. It was mainly my face but occasionally Bella and Jasper's faces would pop up. When Bella's came up, I would have to hit Edward, as he would keep replaying Bella over and over and wouldn't listen to Emmett's thoughts for me.

Esme had wanted to call Bella and Jasper but Edward and Carlisle had voted against it. They thought it would be best to just let them be until we got home.

Emmett never stopped his screaming or wailing. I was dry sobbing by the second day, but I knew it would be over soon. Alice had seen Emmett waking up at 3:30am tomorrow and that was 4 hours away. Soon, Emmett would be all right.

" Two minutes," Alice called and Carlisle, Esme, Ruby and Jade ran into the dining room.

Carlisle and Edward stood in front of Alice and Esme who guarded Ruby and Jade from Emmett. I didn't move.

" 3…2…1," Alice whispered as Emmett's eyes fluttered open.

" Emmett baby. It's me Rosalie," I whispered. Emmett seized up and jumped off the table, landing in a crouch. He looked gorgeous. It was only his crimson red eyes that detracted from that. His eyes scanned the room quickly, looking for any danger and then he straightened up. Edward stayed in a little crouch so Emmett's mind must have been going a hundred miles an hour.

I started to walk over but Edward growled. I froze just as Emmett leapt towards the twins, hidden behind Esme and Alice. Carlisle grabbed Emmett just before he landed on Ruby. Emmett was growling, snapping his jaws at Ruby. Edward and Carlisle were struggling with his intense newborn strength. I ran over to help. As I grabbed Emmett's wrists, he stopped struggling and turned to look at me.

" Rose," he said quietly.

" It's me baby," I smiled.

" She smells so good," he murmured.

" I know baby, but she isn't food. You remember her don't you? That's Ruby. And, this is Jade her twin. They are hybrids. Remember," I said carefully pointing out Ruby and Jade.

" Yeah, I remember. Now that I have calmed down they don't smell as good," Emmett admitted.

" Exactly. Now how do you feel?" I asked.

" Fine, but my throat is burning. Really bad," he emphasised.

" Let's go hunting," I sang. Emmett smiled and we all smiled back.

" Okay," he grinned and we ran out of the doors. I could hear Edward and Carlisle behinds us.

*****

EmmettPOV

Hunting had been so much fun. I had though I could run fast before the change but now I see that I was so slow. Being a vampire is so interesting. You can see everything. I mean, Rosie's face is just so much more beautiful than I had ever imagined. And Esme's and Alice's. And even Ruby and Jade are quite beautiful. The red on their cheeks just lights them up.

" Emmett can you come in here please?" it was Carlisle. I walked to his room (very quickly might I add) and sat down on the spare chair. Rose, Edward, Esme and Alice came in after me and stood around. Alice sat on the floor. The twins walked past the door on their way to town. They wanted to do some shopping while they were in Paris.

" Now Emmett, I am going to ask you some questions and I want you to do your best to answer them. When a human gets changed into a vampire, their human memories start to fad and already they will be a little hazy. I am just going to jog your memory a little and make sure you remember the things that you need to remember," Carlisle said. I nodded and turned my attention away from Rose's beautiful face and onto Carlisle's questions.

" Now how old are you?" he asked. Well that was certainly basic. I wonder if all the questions will be this basic. If they are I should ace this memory test. Oh no what if I fail. I must remember everything. Oh no, what if I have forgotten something important.

" Emmett focus. Just calm down," Edward said from his position at the wall.

Of course he heard all of that. I took a deep breath as Rose came to sit on my lap. My mind went blank as I stared at her gorgeous face. Her deep butterscotch eyes…

" Emmett, stop memorising Rosalie's face. That certainly won't disappear," Edward said slightly bored. I wonder why. No wait, I need to concentrate. Now what did Carlisle ask me. Oh that's right.

" 18," I answer confidently.

" Have you finished school?" Carlisle asked.

" Yes,"

" What is your mum's name?"

" Renée,"

" What is your dad's name?"

" Charlie,"

" Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

I froze. Did I? Wait of course I did.

" Yes, Isabella and Jasper and I used to have another little sister who was Bella's twin but she died when she was five in a house fire. Her name was Renesmee," I said shaking a little. I remember that fire a little too clearly. Then Bella's face popped up in my mind. She was very pretty but that was through human eyes. I need to see her through vampire eyes.

Edward moaned as Bella's face popped up in my mind. Oh that's right he was dating her. And Alice was dating Jasper.

" Very good Emmett," Carlisle said, " Now, is there any memory that you are having trouble recalling?"

" Where did I live before we came to Forks?" I asked frowning trying to remember but all I saw was the sun.

" Australia," Esme answered.

" Oh that's right. Now I want to see Bella and Jasper. Now," I said and started for the door.

" Wait," Carlisle said as Edward appeared before me blocking the door. I was surprised by his sudden movement and growled.

Wait he was my brother.

" Sorry," I mumbled. He shrugged.

" Now why can't I see my siblings?" I asked slightly angry.

" Remember the burn you felt near Ruby and Jade?" Carlisle asked. I nodded, my throat burning just at the memory.

" Well Jasper and Bella will smell like that but a hundred times worse. Even better than that bear smelt," Carlisle explained.

I groaned.

" When can I see them? I want to see them. You all sit here like you own the world when I can't even see my family," I bellowed at them. Edward and Alice growled and advanced on me. I narrowed my eyes and went into my hunting crouch. If they wanna fight, fine. I'll fight them.

" Stop, Esme called. None of us stopped.

" You think you are so cool, both of you with your supernatural powers. At least you can see your family," I snarled.

Edward stopped.

" I am missing Bella just as much as you are, maybe even more as I can remember more. And so is Alice with Jasper so just calm down and grow up," he hissed and walked back to the wall.

" Sorry," I mumbled when I realised that Edward and Alice would be in pain too. Alice nodded while Edward just snorted.

" Come on babe, let's get some fresh air," Rose called taking my hand. Already I felt better. Hmm, Rosalie. She is so fine.

Edward coughed and stalked out of the room. I grinned at him as he walked past, projecting thoughts of Rose at him. He growled softly. I laughed. He was disgusted at Rose and me. Hah. Well, let him be disgusted. I have the best girl in the world.

" I disagree," Edward called as I heard him start to run.

I laughed and Rose and I ran to a quiet place in the trees. We stopped and Rose turned to me. Her lips were just waiting for me. I leant forward, breathing in her scent…

A/N: Hah, Emmett is a vampire... Finally... LOL... More surprises to come...
