"She's going to find out eventually. You might as well tell her now, while she's still—" Rose began, but Edward raced out of the house, leaving a trail of red dust from his hands behind.

My breath caught in my throat, and my hands started glowing different colors. I didn't know what was going on. Why was Edward so upset? Why did he take off like that? And what did Alice mean I'd be the 'most powerful vampire' in the world? I didn't want to be turned. I just wanted to survive this messed up world. I wanted to grow old and have children. I didn't want to be stuck doing the same thing everyday.
My body began to shake. I felt my forehead, wet sweat forming near my hairline. I shut my eyes tight and heard Alice call my name. I felt a hand pull me to sit down. I lay slowly into someone's lap and turned around. Esme's worried golden eyes looked back as she smoothed back my hair.
"What's happening to me?" I whispered.
She hushed me gently, saying, "We'll tell you later. For now, just rest." She rubbed my hair away from my face, and I closed my eyes at her soft touch.
