THIS IS A BELLA AND EDWARD STORY.
I do not own anything. These characters belong to Stephanie Meyer, I am just playing with them.
This story is based off of countless other fanfictions. A few of them are "and so the lamb became the wolf." by UntitledAlsoUnknown and "in the full moons light" by stopthemadness, "things we aren't" by thirteenohtwo, "eventide" by tweedledeestwin, and a part of the later chapters, might come from legacies (in the vampire diaries show series) but, you'll have to read to find out.
Chapter one. -tuesday- March 1st
I hadn't felt right lately, for the past two weeks or so, I had felt oddly warm and sore.
Charlie was out fishing for the day with Harry and Billy. He left at around 6AM.
I had a theory on what Edward was, and I wanted to ask if I was correct. But I was doubting whether I should ask or not. Would he be upset?
Edward and I had decided to go on a walk in the forest near my house. It was nice, the scenery was gorgeous, the leaves falling from the trees, the birds chirping, the liveliness of the forest was lovely.
The sun was starting to set, as the full moon rose, creating such a stark contrast in the sky. The colors around the sun and the moon battled against each other in the sky.
Even though both of them were so different, they were beautiful together. But destined to leave each other, fated to only watch each other from a distance, to never be close to each other. Just missing the other by minutes.
I didn't know how to bring up vampirism, how to explain to Edward that I wouldn't care if I was right, that I wouldn't care if he killed people daily, as long as we were together, as I didn't think that I could bear the loneliness of the moon. To only watch Edward from a distance, to know I would never be able to hold him again, would surely drive me insane.
"We should get you back home, it's getting late." He said, letting go of my hand to look at my face.
I didn't want him to let me go, but I didn't argue. I grabbed my hand in his, determined to be as close to him as I could, because as far as I was aware, not gravity, not a solar system, nothing could keep me and Edward apart.
"Okay" I said after a long pause, as I had forgotten to answer during my inner musings. I needed to tell him, and to make him realize I didn't care what he is, only who he is. So, I turned back towards the house, knowing that I would tell him on the way back.
"Hey, Edward?" I asked, while looking up at the sky. The full moon was reaching the top of the sky, and would in a few seconds, basking the small town of forks in its beautiful glow.
I tugged Edward closer, as I felt my leg become sorer than before.
"Yes Bella?" He asked while allowing himself to be pulled.
Then, the pain became unbearable, my leg hurting so bad that I sank to the ground.
A loud crack echoed through the forest at the same time that pain rocketed through my leg. I felt as if my leg had been ran over by a truck, only for it to reverse and run over my leg again.
Tears escaped my eyes as I let out a gasp, feeling my other leg go through that same acute pain.
"Bella?!" Edward sounded scared and alarmed, as he walked closer.
I let out a blood curdling scream as my entire torso broke at the same time, my ribs, and all the other bones I couldn't name in my pained state. Probably a lot though.
My arms started breaking, and it felt like someone had put me in a giant blender, turning it on the highest setting.
"Bella, what's going on?!?" Edward asked, moving the hair from my face so he could look into my eyes. I saw fear and pain in his eyes, but I couldn't respond.
My spine hurt, I knew that, but it was dull compared to my skull. It felt like someone was chipping off little pieces. My skull broke into hundreds of tiny pieces, and that was all I could focus on, not seeing my skin sprouting fur, my fingernails elongating, or my teeth growing and sharpening.
My clothing tore as my body reshaped itself, but modesty was the last thing on my mind.
As I looked up, I was no longer the girl known as Bella Swan. I was the animal within her. The parts of herself she had hidden away, her true self, her instinct.
As I looked up, I saw a stone press resembling a statue. Bella Swan wouldn't like what I was about to do, but I wasn't Bella Swan.
The predator was wide eyed as it slowly backed away, and I knew that this predator wasn't used to being prey. It would be now.
I tackled the statue like predator with no small amount of strength, its mouth dropped open before it disappeared in a blur of white.
I scanned the nearby forest for it, and saw it with its back against a tree, but I didn't look at it's face. I slowly stalked the predator, growling deep in my throat as I walked closer.
Epov.
I stared up at the sky, watching as it became twilight.
I heard a loud crack echo through the forest, it took me a moment to realize the sound came from here, and an even longer moment to realize that the sound came from Bella.
As I realized, another loud crack echoed through the air. Without thinking I rushed towards Bella's side. "Bella?!" I asked, alarmed.
My Bella let out a blood curdling scream as multiple small cracks came from her torso in unison.
"Bella, What's going on?!?" I asked while moving the hair from her face, needing to see her eyes that often told me what she was thinking. I looked into her eyes, they were unfocused, and the only thing I could see in them was pain.
I closed my eyes for a minute, praying to every God I could think of that Bella was going to be alright. Not just for Bella's sake, but for mine too. I was an essentially selfish creature, and I knew I couldn't live without her.
I opened my eyes, due to the sudden lack of noise; Bella's screaming had stopped.
But Bella wasn't there anymore. In her place was a Jaguar. The only indication that this was my Bella was the chocolate brown eyes, but not even those were the same, as these ones held no compassion, no love, not even fear. Just predatory instinct.
My eyes widened as I backed up. I barely had time to think before the jaguar that used to be Bella Swan pounced at me.
Maneuvering at superhuman speed, being careful not to harm Bella, I ran out from under her, and so my back was pressed against a tree about 20 feet away from my previous spot.
Bella didn't flinch, she faced toward me, and started stalking me like a predator would prey. Is that what I was right now? Prey? Would Bella remember this in the morning?
Bpov -wednesday- (canonically this is Thursday) March 2nd
I awoke in the forest. I saw a spider on my leg and slapped it. Apparently too hard, as my leg now sported a bruise. I watched in shock as the bruise healed before my eyes.
I immediately stood up, realizing that whatever happened, shouldn't keep me from school if I wanted it to be inconspicuous.
I walked to my house and entered through the thankfully unlocked back door. I showered as fast as I could while still riding my body of the grime it had accumulated during my mysterious night in the forest.
I made bacon and eggs for breakfast. I made ten eggs and a whole package of bacon. I expected to have leftovers, what I didn't expect was to eat 7 eggs and over half of the package of bacon.
I drive to school, somehow not being late, And made my way to class. I slept my way through most of the school day, and before either knew it it was lunch time. I looked to the Cullen table, surprised to see only Edward there.
I sat at my usual table, not participating in conversation even a bit.
Before I knew it, I was in biology. The door opened as Edward walked inside, his scent wafting towards me.
Edward sat down, his chair as far away as it was the first day I had seen him. But his expression was different, he didn't look like he was about to kill me this time. He looked cautious.
"Edward?" I asked.
"Yes?" He answered in such a small voice that made him seem as vulnerable as a small child.
"We should talk, Bella. As soon as biology is over. Do you remember last night?" Edward asked.
I shook my head no, and that was all we said during biology.
As soon as biology was over, I lead Edward outside. Once we were in the privacy of my truck, he started explaining.
"Last night you were in immense pain, your bones were breaking and reforming, and you turned into a Jaguar," he said. "and you tried to attack me" he whispered the last part.
"I'm sorry. I don't remember any of that… I remember walking back to the house, and then… nothing." I explained.
I drove to my house in silence, Edward sitting in the passenger seat as still as a statue.
As soon as I parked, I looked at him, I looked into his eyes. Gravity shifted, my entire being was content being with Edward. Gravity didn't hold me to earth, Edward did. Protecting Edward and making sure he was happy was my only purpose in life, His approval meant everything. And I knew that as long as I was with Edward Cullen, I was at home.
My bones started breaking. The acute pain shot through me, and I writhed in the truck. Edward undid my seatbelt.
Edward. I didn't want to hurt him.
Don't attack anyone. Don't attack anyone. Don't attack anyone. I chanted -like a spell?-
The transformation felt the same as last time. And before I knew it, the girl who was Bella swan had been shed away with her human form. But this time, I was a small cat.
Epov.
I watched as Bella's bones broke, again. I picked her up. Running into the forest.
Bella's screams stopped, I looked to where I had put her, expecting a Jaguar, but finding a small brown cat, about the size of a kitten. The cat's fur was the same as Bella's hair.
Instead of backing away, Bella walked into my lap, although I could tell that she wasn't the human girl, and that she had the mind of an animal.
I wonder what changed to make her approach me instead of attack me?
"Bella?" I asked.
"It's me, Edward." I said.
Bella jumped slightly, and as I turned my head, I saw awareness creep into her eyes.
A smile lit up my face.
"Bella?" I asked her.
She responded with a small mew.
I chuckled.
BPOV
I looked up and saw a beautiful creature, I walked over to it, jumping into its lap. I knew I needed to protect it.
"Bella? Bella, it's me Edward." It said.
I came back to myself, no longer relying on instinct. My best guess is I was doing it due to unknown circumstances, maybe something similar to a fight or flight response.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
I tried to respond, but ended up letting out a small mew.
Edward chuckled, and moved his hand so it was cupping my head, I rubbed my head against his hand in response, causing him to chuckle again.
He used his thumb to pet between my ears, causing me to purr in contentment.
"Hmm, you're a cat this time, last time you were a Jaguar." He mused.
"Do you wanna go to my house for a bit?" Edward asked me.
I nodded my head, unsure I would be able to deny him anything.
He took a deep breath.
"Close your eyes" he told me.
I did as he said. I felt air rush past us at an unusual speed, until it stopped.
I opened my eyes, seeing a mansion-like house that was varying shades of white and gray.
Out of all the meeting the parents' situation, I think this one is the worst.
As Edward walked inside, I heard Alice mumbling something about not being able to see something.
"Edward, what happened?" Alice yelled worriedly.
Alice's yelling hurt my ears, so I pushed my face into the crook of Edwards elbow to try to muffle the sound.
I heard a gasp come from Alice, and I stuck my head out, looking for whatever shocked Alice.
"How? Animals are scared of us…" she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
I must be what surprised her.
Just then the rest of the Cullen's walked into the room. I stared at them.
All of them looked at me and Edward in disbelief.
"It's hard to explain." He said.
He looked down at me and asked. "Can I tell them?" I nodded my head yes, confusing all of the rooms occupants.
"So uh, yesterday me and Bella went on a walk, and then her bones started breaking, and her bones reshaped themselves.
And then she grew some fur, and became a Jaguar."
"She also tried to attack me, but she doesn't remember anything about it" He explained.
"She chased me up a tree." he muttered. Earning a booming laugh from Emmett.
"And today after school, we were talking about what happened yesterday and then her bones started breaking again," he continued.
"Then she turned into a cat." he said as he scratched behind my ears, causing me to purr.
Edward put me down into the ground, where I sat down, looking up at the six people, all very tall from my point of view, might I add.
"Can she turn back?" Carlisle asked.
"I should take her home, Charlie will be back soon. But maybe Bella can come back again soon." He said.
Alice petted me on the head. "Bye bye" she said.
Edward picked me up and took me home.
Once we were in my room, I tried to turn back again.
Human I thought to myself.
My bones started to break, it hurt, but I let it happen instead of fighting the pain. That made it quicker.
"Are you okay?" He asked. He was sitting on my bed.
"Yea" I said. I looked at myself, I was sitting down weirdly on my bedroom floor, naked.
I think me and Edward noticed at the same time, because suddenly he was standing, with his face against my bedroom wall.
"Do you want me to go?" He asked, his voice muffled a bit due to his face being against the wall.
"No. Just in case, whatever just happened, happens again." I said.
"Okay." He said.
"I'm gonna shower and stuff." I said, grabbing clothes and walking to the bathroom.
"Okay"
I went out of the bathroom, dressed.
Me and Edward went to the kitchen, I made myself a large bowl of spaghetti.
I went to bed not long after, exhausted after such a long day.
MARCH 3rd THURSDAY.
I woke up and got ready for school, I ate a large breakfast quickly.
I walked outside, and saw Jacob black. I was happy, until I realized he smelled, and looked different.
He didn't smell human.
