A/N: Warning. Seth will probably be OOC, because I have a really hard time matching the way characters act to the way the real authors make them act

She wasn't even screaming, but on the inside, I knew it was torture for her. Bella was lying on the operation table in that blue dress and silver high heels. The room had been cleaned up of the blood, for my sake and Bella's, for opposite reasons. Everyone kept telling me the danger I was in by being near Bella, but of course I didn't listen. Didn't need too; I knew I was going to be just fine.

"I get what you meant by 'wait and see,' now," Edward said as I entered the room where Bella was.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but you would have freaked," I said, grimacing. "Sorry about the throw up in the foyer, by the way."

"It's fine." Edward sighed. "You couldn't control it."

I got word from Jake that Seth was literally almost dying to see me again, but couldn't due to patrols. Before Jacob imprinted, he was all like 'live with it' with the Seth wanting to see me issue. Now that he knew how Seth felt, I was able to see him again.

~~Flashback~~

I was sitting on a rock outside, presumably the one Bella kills later on, just staring at the dark woods. It was only hours after Bella 'came back from the dead,' as I liked to put it, and I'd finally calmed down enough from the stress I'd had afterwards to act sane enough to go somewhere without supervision. Like I needed any. Well, anyway, I was sitting on the death-sentenced rock when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. Seth.

"Hey, I thought Jacob wouldn't let you come?" I asked as he sat down next to me.

"Well, after the guy told me he'd imprinted on Bella and Edward's kid, I told him I'd imprinted on you," Seth said. "And he understood the separation anxiety I was going through, so he let me visit you."

"That's good." I sighed. "Maybe I won't kill him after all, after I'm changed."

"Wait, changed? As in, into a vampire?" Seth asked incredulously.

"Can I trust you with a secret?"

"Of course." He smiled.

"Well…" So I told him my story—or what I could remember of my life, up until when I found out I was in the world of Twilight. I told him that something big with the Volturi would happen, and that if they knew that I knew about vampires, they'd kill me. I even told him how I knew about this stuff. It was silent for a while. "You don't believe me, do you?"

"Oh, I believe you," he said. "It's just kinda…all messed up, but I believe you."

I grinned. "Thanks."

Awkward silence, once again. Seth said, "Are you really sure you want to be changed?"

I nodded. "It would be smart, and safe. I mean, I know vampires and werewolves are natural enemies, but it would ensure that I'm not hunted down. You know what I mean?"

"Well, as long as you're happy…"

"I'm sure about it," I smiled. "But that won't keep me from loving you."

"You love me?"

His question surprised me. "Of course. It's obvious that you love me."

"Hmm, then I have a present for you?"

"Oh? And what's that?"

He leaned in and kissed me. I don't know how to describe it—blissful, romantic—like I said, I don't know how! Before I knew it, I found myself kissing him back. We could've just done that for hours, but unfortunately, we had to come up for breath.

"Get a room, you two," Jake voice made me jump. Seth and I turned around to see Jake with a smug look on his face. "I know you two were enjoying yourselves there, but I need Seth back on patrol."

Seth stood up reluctantly. "I'll see you later, Erin."

"See ya."

And he turned and ran into the forest.

"I appreciate your help, by the way." I looked at Jake, and noticed he was grinning. "But you could've given me a warning about the imprinting thing."

I blushed, and then realized he was talking about Renessmee. "I did warn you, but you were too angry to listen."

"Whatever, bloodsucker-to-be," Jake muttered, and then he turned and ran back to the house. 'Bloodsucker-to-be?' That was weird. I smiled to myself before following him; I was never going to wash my face again!

~~End of Flashback~~

"You don't need to worry about her," I said, then yawned hugely. Sleep. Why did I sleep so much?!

"Go get some rest," Edward told me. "And I do need to worry about her, because she is my love."

"Whatever." I yawned again, exiting the room, and crashed in a random room with a bed in it. I fell asleep instantly. Unfortunately, I had another dream.

-Dream—

I was standing the in baseball field—again. What was so special about this place? I was a vampire, like in the other dreams, and the Volturi was gathered in front of our odd crowd. To my left was Seth in his wolf form and to my right was Bella, with Renessmee on her back. In this dream, though, I was aware of my powers, sort of. I was able to read minds, and beam thoughts to other people. I was also a mental shield, like Bella, but I could choose to block specific people, and I could beam my shield to other people. There was another power, though, but that one remained unknown for now.

Suddenly, I was hit with a spasm of pain. It was like I was burning from the inside out. My eyes were closed tightly, so I couldn't tell where I was. The burning stopped as quickly as it came, and when I opened my eyes, I was hundreds of feet away from my allies. Jane was standing over me with a malicious glint in her eyes.

"You will join the Volturi," She hissed, and pain enveloped me once more before my dreams turned to black.

-End of Dream—

When I woke up, I was screaming, and my neck burned really badly. I kept screaming, not understanding what was going on. I didn't realize my eyes were shut tight until now—I opened them with difficulty, and saw Carlisle standing over me looking sympathetic and anxious. The bastard had bitten me!

I gasped, trying to control the screaming. "Carlisle—" Gasp! Don't scream! "—why?!"

"I'm sorry," he said, and I got the feeling he meant it. "But when Bella is a vampire, I don't want her attacking you."

"You—" Gasp. Almost screamed. So much pain! "—bastard! She will—" Pant. It burns! "—have complete control—" Argh! Make it stop! "—of her thirst!"

Carlisle looked aghast. "Then I am truly, very sorry. I wish there was something I could do, but it's too late."

"You're evil!" I managed to gasp out. "You—" Burning, I'm burning! No, get a hold of yourself, girl! "—should have—" Ugh! It burns! It hurts! "—consulted with me first!"

"You're handling this very well," Carlisle said, trying to change the subject. "You are able to finish a whole sentence. Fascinating."

"Look—" Metal screaming! Make it stop! "—Dr. Fang!" I gasped as the pain moved on from my throat, spreading throughout my head, making me dizzy, and spreading down to my arm. "If you say—" Dizzy, so dizzy. I'm on fire! Wait, I'm dizzy… "—'Fascinating,' and relate it—" Pant. Pant. "—to me, you're gonna be—" Owie! Oh, ow, ow! "—dead meat, if you do it—" Dizzy. Why do I see black spots? "—one more time!" I groaned, getting dizzier.

I heard commotion behind Carlisle, "Carlisle, what have you done?" It was Jacob.

"Jacob, I was doing it to protect her from Bella," Carlisle explained hurriedly. Then added to me. "Erin, you need to quiet down."

"I'm trying!" I gasped out, realized for the first time I'd been practically on the verge of screaming. "Go away!"

"Seth is not gonna be happy," I heard Jake mutter as he and Carlisle went out of the room, closing the door.

I suffered in silence—literally. I controlled myself as much as Bella did. Just close your eyes, stay silent, and don't do anything! It hurt so badly, though…

"Erin?" It was Seth. What was he doing here? "Are you ok? Can you hear me?"

"I'm fine," I practically hissed out, keeping my eyes closed. "It helps to ignore it." Yeah, like that was so easy.

"I'm gonna tear Carlisle apart—"

"Seth, no." I gasped out. "It's fine. I wanted this anyway, right?" I was forcing the words out. It was like the venom was burning my existence away. My whole body was burning.

"Yeah, but not against your will," Seth said. Poor kid, he sounded like he was gonna cry. Surprisingly, I felt myself falling asleep—that was new.

"I'm falling asleep," I gasp-mumbled. It hurt so much, yet I was falling asleep. That's when I realized there was a cold hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. Jasper," Seth said.

"Thank you," I breathed out before I fell asleep.

I woke up when my body wasn't capable of sleeping any longer. Thankfully, this was near the end of the change; I could feel my heart racing, trying to fight off the venom.

"Oh good, it's almost over," I heard Carlisle sigh with relief.

It was just like Bella had described it in the book—a battle that neither venom nor heart could win. The fire in my body was slowly dying down, while my heart beat so rapidly, I thought it would explode out of my chest. The burning retreated from my toes and fingertips, and quickly went for its final attack—to kill my heart. As the fire retreated from all parts of my body, save for my heart. It beat its last beat like a hallow thud. One more thud, then all was silent except for the three heartbeats in the house—Seth's, Jacob's, and Renessmee's. No one was breathing except those who needed to breathe. I could hear all the way to the highway, but I ignored it.

The people in the room with me were waiting for something, but I didn't understand what. I scoffed in my head, realizing my stupidity. And I opened my eyes and gazed in wonder at the world around me.
