EPOV
The stench of wolves increased and it worried me.
Alice was about fifty feet behind me. I waited for her to catch up before heading any further.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I rubbed my chin. "Something is not right…I have a bad feeling."
"Ugh stupid werewolves, I can't see a thing," she grunted.
"Let's scout around, stick to the tress and stay close."
We darted off in opposite directions. I scaled a nearby tree and scanned the area, nothing. Then I saw them, or Alice did, and I watched as her mind processed what she was seeing.
We're in danger!
Within seconds I jumped through the tress to where Alice was. I followed her gaze to the massive compound that was no more then 100ft away. Where the woods ended stood a compound surrounded by an electric fence, guards and wolves. I couldn't tell if they were all werewolves or not. Either way there was no way to pass them. If we came to close they might smell us and we couldn't possibly take out an army of dogs.
"What should we do?" Alice asked.
"I don't know, but we need to get away from here and quickly."
Alice nodded and we bolted off.
When I was convinced we had put enough distance between us and that compound we stopped. There was no scent of the wolves or Bella, we were far from both.
Out of frustration I punched a nearby oak which splintered in two.
"Maybe we should call Carlisle?"
"No, there's no need to drag anymore of our family into this. Can you see anything…anything at all?"
"I'll try." Alice plopped down on the ground and shut her eyes. Minutes went by and I paced, finally something came through.
She couldn't see much but from what she did see we knew that they were in a house and Bella was changing.
Relief flooded my system, she's safe.
"All we need to do is find them, they're here somewhere. They couldn't have gotten far."
Alice nodded. "The fact that I saw them tells me the wolves aren't near them."
"It's strange…I wonder why those mongrels stopped tracking them. It doesn't make sense."
Alice shrugged her shoulders.
Ring…Ring…
Alice grabbed her phone out of her jacket and flipped it open. "Hello?"
Being able to read minds made things easier. I didn't need to wait for Alice to get off the phone to know that Jacob was on the other line.
"She's fine Jacob…how did you get this number anyway? Charlie…of course…what you're here? We don't need you and your rat pack…ugh fine…I'll tell you just be quiet your barking is hurting my ears."
Apparently Jacob had gotten stricken with worry and flew to Italy with two of his friends and was now searching for Bella. Having Jacob here would cause problems but we could use the extra help if we needed to get past those wolves and they might be able to find Bella. Of course Alice forgot to mention the tiny fact that Bella was becoming a vampire, this should be interesting.
Now I had to wait. I hate waiting. Meeting Jacob after everything that happened was not something I looked forward to, although, I did owe him for watching over Bella while I was off being an idiot. I knew he cared for her and now I had two guys I had to keep an eye on.
I can't just sit here. "Alice, let's go hunting, I need to break something."
BPOV
I thought the pain would never stop and then by some miracle it did and I felt alive. My body tingled with new sensations. The cotton blanket under me felt smooth and worn in. I could hear the wind rustling the leaves on a tree outside the window. The air smelled musty and each time the wind blew in it brought a fresh scent of pine.
It took me a few minutes to register my surroundings and when I lifted my head from the bed another scent tickled my nose.
The smell of fresh orchids was coming from somewhere across the room. My head whipped in the direction of the flower aroma and my eyes landed on a glorious sight.
"Jasper…" With my enhanced vision he looked like a roman god. His golden hair curled around his cheek in such a seductive manner. His eyes glistened a dark amber and his thick lashes were too perfect. He stared at me, drinking in my face.
I stretched out my arms, getting a feel for my new and improved self. "So this is how one sees the world as a vampire…I must say, it's fascinating."
I waited for a reply but he said nothing, his eyes bore into me and I could feel his desire radiating around the room.
"Cat got your tongue?"
Jasper shook his head. "No, just a little taken back."
I wondered what I looked like and if my change had made me beautiful like Rosalie.
I walked towards him, my steps were quicker then I expected, as I thought about being near him I already was. "Am I that terrible to look at?"
"Far from it, you should take a look."
"Hmmm," I purred. "I've got other things on my mind."
His emotions flooded out like a stream covering me. I absorbed in his lustful thoughts which lighted a fire inside me. Everything around us vanished from my sight, except him.
The room felt like it was breathing and moving in tempo with us. I had to have him, the hunger to be with Jasper was so intense I thought I would burst.
I tapped my fingers on his chest slowly. "I'm famished."
I didn't ask for permission and if he had said no I would've ignored his request, nothing was stopping me.
I could see the look in his eye, hesitation and desire and that's why I had to make the move. Before he could protest my lips were on his, and this time there was no holding back.
As I pushed Jasper to the floor, his arms snaked around my waist. The man smelled like an orchid and tasted like a peach, I should have been a vampire a long time ago.
My senses were heightened to a new level and every touch made my body shake with ecstasy. Any kiss I had as a human failed to compare as a vampire.
The desire was so intense I wanted to explode. My hands grabbed his shirt and ripped it off in one quick tug. Jasper growled and threw me on my back. Our eyes locked onto one another, and the passion that burned within them blocked out the rest of the world.
With one quick motion he brought me to the bed. I grabbed his pants and his hands caught my wrists.
"If you rip these I'll have to walk around naked," he grinned.
I bit my lip in anticipation.
Jasper pushed my wrists above my head and kissed my neck. My eyes rolled back into my head, everything was perfect.
My nose picked up a new scent, it was the most delicious scent I had ever smelt and it wasn't coming from Jasper. My mind changed focus and suddenly Jasper was second to whatever else I smelled.
"Bella?"
I smiled a wicked grin and flew off the bed and out the door. I could hear him chasing after me but I didn't care. I followed the scent outside to the lake, it was coming from the other side.
I was blown away by how fast I moved. I could hear Jasper yelling in the distance but he was much to slow. As my destination came into view, everything went red.
The animal side of me erupted into a frenzy. I saw myself pounce on the unsuspecting woman but I couldn't stop. I finally understood why human blood was so hard to resist. Somewhere in the back of my head I knew it was wrong but I couldn't stop. It took me less then a minute to drain her body and then I moved onto the man she was with.
There was no fighting me, I couldn't be stopped. Their blood filled my body, I felt stronger, and satisfied beyond belief. It was only until after I killed their daughter that the realization of what I had done hit me.
I stood staring at the three people I had just murdered. I promised I would never do this, that I would never be like this.
I felt sick all over.
"Bella, are you okay?"
I turned around to see Jasper walking towards me.
I couldn't answer him. I saw it in his eyes.
"It's okay Bella."
My nostrils flared. "It's not okay! I just killed these people and for what? I killed a little girl…a little girl Jasper."
"Listen to me Bella, you're a newborn, the thirst is almost impossible to fight. You need time to adjust."
I didn't want to hear his explanations, and I didn't want to look into those disappointed eyes.
I needed time to think, I needed to be alone, from everyone.
I knew I was faster, and that no matter how hard he ran he would never catch me.
At first I could still hear his pleas but they soon faded in the distance. I should have known better, if Edward was here he never would've let this happen, he knows how much I was afraid to be one of those crazy newborns. It's what I deserve for hurting him and Alice, now it's my time to be hurt.
I hope you liked my newborn Bella : )
And as always review review!
