Chapter 28
Transformation
Edward took me to a secluded house.
We would stay here until my funeral, and everything all was over. Then we would move to Vancouver with the Cullens until my year as a newborn was over and then return to Forks where I would have to stay in the house, or someone might recognize me.
But I would be close to Charlie ... and I wanted to be!
Edward moved our suitcases into a room and then joined me in the small living room.
He looked at me overjoyed.
"Soon nothing and no one can separate us, my angel."
The next second he stood in front of me, pulled me into his arms and kissed me passionately.
He carried me into the bedroom where we indulged in our passion.
This - we both knew - would be the last time for a long time.

"Okay! Give it to me already."

"Are you really sure?" he asked again.
I nodded to him and took the pill.

"I love you!" were his last words before biting my neck.
I felt a short pain, but after that nothing more!
Everything around me went dark as I closed my eyes. However, I felt Edward holding my hand and my heart began to race.
I couldn't move, wasn't in control of my body - which made me feel quite insecure! The only thing I was really aware of were Edward's soothing words and his hand, which I felt in mine. My heart beat faster and faster, it almost sounded like a steady tone. Then - after an endless time - it stopped beating.
And I opened my eyes ...
