A/N: All right, here it is my loyal readers. The last chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 20
Bella POV
Edward kissed me softly and my heart stuttered. This was it. He was going to change me. I knew I would be in excruciating pain, but I wasn’t a stranger to pain. I could handle it. I hoped that I could be like Carlisle and be silent through the change. I knew if I screamed and showed how much pain that I was in it would only hurt Edward and cause him grief. I wanted to spare him as much as I could. This was hard enough already. Besides, I doubt that it would help to scream.
I memorized how Edward’s lips felt on my own. Carlisle had said that our human memories fade with time. I wanted to remember my human lifetime. Especially the time that I had spent with Edward. That was the happiest part of my human life. He said that he caused me pain and suffering but I disagreed. He brought love and warmth into my life. He brought me into a beautiful family full of love and compassion.
I decided that I would remember every part of my human life as I changed. I didn’t want to lose anything. Including the time that I spent with James. It had changed who I was as a person and I had a feeling that it would be important later.
Edward’s nose ghosted along my cheek and down my neck. I shivered as he sucked lightly on my neck causing my heart to race. The last one to do that was James. I had to keep in mind that this was Edward and not James. Edward would never hurt me. At least now I would bear Edward’s mark as well.
He whispered, “I love you, Bella. Forever.”
I braced myself for the pain and closed my eyes. I felt his teeth pierce my flesh and I resisted the urge to cry out. Edward was already torn up enough about this. I know he blamed himself. I know that he felt guilty about the whole situation. I didn’t need Jasper’s gift to know that. I felt the life slowly draining from me. It felt strangely intimate sharing my blood with Edward. It made me feel good that he could finally taste me. I knew it was something that he struggled with ever since we had first met. It comforted me to know that after this he wouldn’t have to fight with himself anymore. I stayed perfectly still the whole time. I trusted him implicitly.
He pulled back slightly from me and ran his tongue over the wound which soothed the throbbing pain. Already I could feel the familiar flame spreading in my veins. I felt him move and then I felt his teeth sink into my wrists and ankles. Again, I stayed still. Afraid that if I moved I would lose the grasp that I had against the onslaught of pain.
I felt the bed dip again and someone pulled me into their arms. Edward. Already I could distinguish his scent. Honey and lilacs and sunshine. It was soothing as it blanketed my body and engulfed my senses.
Pain flared all around my body, burning hotter and hotter still. How hot could it get? I felt like I was being roasted on a spit. The small amount of fire that I had felt when James bit me was nothing compared to this. But it was an even trade. I would suffer anything for Edward. I would walk the fires of hell itself for him. I would endure the burn. This was Edward’s venom. It made me his and not James’.
Now the venom was circulating my entire body. There wasn’t one place that didn’t feel like it was on fire. My nerves were raw and felt like they were being shredded. I resisted the overwhelming urge to scream as the pain coursed unyieldingly through my small frame. It was tortuous.
Edward smoothed my hair back from my sweaty face. He said, “Carlisle, she is too quiet. Did I do something wrong?”
I could hear the worry evident in his voice. I wanted to tell him not to worry, that I was okay but I didn’t trust myself to speak. I let Carlisle ease his fears. “No,” he reassured him. “You did everything correctly.”
Jasper said, “She is in pain, Edward. I can feel it. She is just absorbing it.”
Emmett said, “ Bella is tougher than she looks, Edward. Think of everything that she has been through. She was a walking disaster as a human. I’m sure she learned how to tolerate pain. She is making me look like a pansy though. I screamed like a little girl during my change.”
I wanted to laugh. Emmett always took things as they were, he never held anything back. I admired that. He wasn’t afraid to say what he was thinking. He was the best older brother a person could have. I felt extremely blessed.
I kept my lips firmly sealed shut despite the urge to laugh at Emmett’s comment. I was afraid if they parted for one second that I wouldn’t be able to contain the screams threatening to burst from me. If Carlisle could do this, then I could do it.
I felt someone take my hand. Jasper. The pain eased a little, the edge going away making it more bearable. He was taking some of it from me. I wanted to tell him to stop it. He shouldn’t suffer any of my pain. Tears welled up in my eyes. How had I gotten so lucky that a family full of wonderful people cared about me so much. Edward wiped my tears away as he whispered soothingly in my ear.
“It’s alright, love. It will be over before you know it.”
In the back of my mind I realized how these would be the last tears that I would ever be able to shed. It was sad to a certain degree, but in my mind I was gaining more than I was losing. Even if we had to stay in Volterra for awhile. Aro wouldn’t be able to keep us here forever. If he thought that I was going to play servant for my whole immortal life then he had another thing coming.
Ugh! How much time had passed? It felt like forever. I distracted myself with my memories. Locking them away forever in my mind.
I remembered my childhood. Visiting Charlie in Forks. The fishing trips that we took and making mud pies with Jacob. The heat of the desert and my scatter-brained mother. The more I remembered the more I realized that my life didn’t really start until I moved to Forks permanently. Until I met the Cullen’s.
I remembered the first day that I had seen them in the cafeteria. The first day of biology with Edward. How puzzled I was at the way he was acting. The day in the meadow when he showed me what he really was. The first time that he had run with me. Our first kiss. Meeting his family and the way that he played the piano. Falling asleep with him holding me and how his smooth glass-like lips felt on my skin. His amazingly delicious scent that made my mouth water.
Then the fateful day in the clearing. Playing baseball and the appearance of the nomads. Lying to Charlie to keep him safe. Running across country with Jasper and Alice. The phone call from James that changed our lives. My escape from the airport to trade my life for the life of my mother. The relief that I felt when I realized that she was safe. The horror when James had announced his intentions for me.
The helplessness and anger that I felt when James raped me. The fear and confusion when he tried to make me like him. I stored it all away for a later date. I don’t know why I felt compelled to remember those horrible things. It should be a relief to get rid of those memories. But for some reason I couldn’t let it go. I couldn’t shake the feeling that they would be important later.
I remembered calling Carlisle and the guilt I felt for putting them in danger. Meeting Aro for the first time. The confrontation between the Cullen’s and James. His destruction. Then the appearance of the Volturi. Waking up and Emmett cooking for me. Then the scene in the throne room. They may regret making me a vampire someday. My powers would only to amplify and get stronger. I could only hope that I wouldn’t accidentally hurt the ones that I love. I would bide my time. I wanted complete control of my gifts before I went about gaining freedom for myself and my family.
Time passed slowly. I had no idea how long I had been burning but it seemed like an eternity. I knew it was a small price to pay in exchange for an eternity with my love. It was a gift that I welcomed with open arms. I started to count his breaths to signify the passage of time. He was still there pressed against me. The coolness of his skin felt good against my own flesh that felt as if it was being incinerated from the inside out.
My thoughts turned to Charlie and Renee. If I had any regrets it was the fact that I could never see them again. Never have any contact. It would be too dangerous for them. They would never know what happened to their little girl. They would never get any closure. They would be left forever wondering if I was alive or dead. It broke my heart to think of the heartache that I was causing them.
I felt someone take my hand again and squeeze it gently. Waves of tranquility and calm swept over me. Jasper again. I concentrated on feeling grateful to thank him as I still didn’t trust myself to speak. Another squeeze told me that he got the message.
I went back to counting Edward’s breaths, thoughts of the future swirling in my mind; wishing that I would finally stop burning.
Edward POV
I was worried and anxious. Bella was too quiet. It was unnatural. Carlisle reassured me that I had done it correctly. Jasper said that she felt the pain from the venom. But yet she was so silent and still. Every change I had seen had involved a lot of screaming and thrashing. Sometimes you had to restrain the person so that they didn’t injure themselves. I screamed all throughout my own change. The pain had been intense, terrible. The most excruciating thing that I had ever felt. Bella did none of those things. It was only the gentle rise and fall of her chest that gave away the fact that she was still alive.
She was pale before, but now she was vampire pale. Her skin was harder. Her human scent had all but faded. She still smelled the same but the burn no longer flared in my throat when I inhaled. I would miss that, as strange as it sounds.
Time passed slowly. I couldn’t wait for Bella to wake up, for us to start our lives together again. I knew that we would still have some issues to work out. The last moments of her human life had hardly been pleasant. I would be there for her though. No matter what I would never leave her side. It was how I would begin to repay my debt to her. I would heal her and make her whole once more. She deserved happiness and I would do everything in my power to give that to her.
Bella’s heart began to race. What was happening? I looked at the clock. It hadn’t even been a full two days yet.
“Carlisle…?”
His brows were furrowed and a look of concerned plastered on his face. “I’m not sure Edward. Every change is different. And Bella’s circumstances are definitely unique. The only thing we can do is wait and see.”
Worried couldn’t quite describe how I felt. What if something had gone drastically wrong? What if she was really dying? What if I was too late? I couldn’t even contemplate a life without her. It would be pure torture.
Bella’s eyes were fluttering and her fingers were twitching. That was a good sign. It was the first movement that I had seen from her since she started the change. Her heart rate increased further. It sounded like her heart was going to explode. It was one long continuous beat, like the whirring of helicopter blades. This was it. Her final human moments.
I felt so conflicted. I felt sad and happy at the same time. I felt terrible that Bella was losing so much. But the other part of me was rejoicing at getting what I felt so guilty about wanting. I had been alone for so long, surrounded by happy couples. I wasn’t even aware of how lonely I had been until Bella came into my life.
I held my breath as Bella’s heart stuttered. It beat twice quickly. Then it beat once more, echoing in her chest. Then there was silence. Bella didn’t move and she wasn’t breathing.
Oh, no. Please don’t let it be true. I couldn’t survive without her.
“Bella…?”
I reached out tentatively and touched her hand. Her eyes flashed open and less than a fraction of a second later she was crouched against the wall snarling horribly. I could feel that strange energy pulsing in the air again. I could have slapped myself. I had frightened her. I knew newborns were volatile. Bella would be even more so due to her experiences. I had to calm her down and quick lest she lose control of her gift.
I walked slowly forward with my hands up in surrender beside me where she could see them. She kept her crimson eyes on me, still growling harshly as I approached.
“Bella….Love….It’s me….Edward.”
End Note: Before you light the torches, gather your pitchforks, and try to lynch me just let me explain why I ended this with a cliffy. This story is entitled Human Pet. Bella is a vampire now. Which is the start to a whole new story. Yes, I will be writing a sequel. I’ve entitled it Volturi Pet. I hope that I have not turned anyone off by the ending to this story. I really feel that it would take away from the theme of this story if I continued once Bella was turned. I hope that you will stick with me for the sequel. It will be as good as this one. I have lots of ideas. Thanks to all the loyal fans that have read this fic from beginning to end. Thanks for the awesome reviews. I loved each one of them. Please feel free to review and let me know what you would like to see in the sequel. Again, thanks for reading. It’s been a hell of a ride.
