Chapter 35 Answers
Edward's POV
I was slowly reaching toward Carrie's hand. I actually stopped because I was so hesitant. What if Carlisle was right? I would be getting my hopes up for nothing, but I still couldn't help the feeling that I had, that I should, touch her hand. Ever so slowly my hand got closer and closer to hers until mine was hovering right above hers, then I wrapped my fingers around her hand. As soon as my skin came into contact with hers she was surrounded by a bright light. I had to turn away because the light was so bright, but as quickly as it came it was gone. I turned to look back and was in shock at what I saw. Carrie was sitting up in the bed her mouth wide open in a gasp, but she looked so different. Her skin tone matched ours, she looked not as skinny from starvation as before but she was more slender looking. She looked completely different. I just couldn't describe it because it was so different from before. She just looked even more beautiful, like the beauty I had seen each time I had looked into her eyes. Speaking of that, they were clenched shut tightly. I heard the others gasp as well as they saw what had been left behind by the light.
"Carrie," I whispered softly as I reached toward her shoulder. As soon as my hand came into contact she disappeared. She soon reappeared in the corner of the room, her hands up as if to keep something away. I also noticed then that her hair has become quite long, around her knees in length and she was taller, probably closer to 5'9". "Carrie?"
"Easy Edward, she is not too sure of anything right now. She's a newborn, remember that," Carlisle said as he moved closer to Carrie while Jasper and I did the same.
"Alright Edward you want to move to her slowly, you don't want to startle her. She is not in her right mind right now," Jasper said quietly as he kept an eye on Carrie. I looked toward her again and noticed that her arms were now wrapped tightly around her middle as if she was in pain and her eyes were still squeezed shut. I slowly continued to move closer to her with Carlisle and Jasper behind me, but she didn't seem to be aware of us. Her thirst is probably too dominant at the moment. I slowly approached her and when I was close enough I reached my hand out to grab her arm, but as soon as my hand came into contact with her arm she took off running.
I followed after her quickly. It took me no time at all to catch up with her with my speed; she was only about a hundred feet into the woods surrounding the house. I quickly ran next to her and went to tackle her but ended up shoving her to the ground instead. When she got up she looked in my direction with a snarl on her face; her eyes a bright blood red that were darkening every moment, expressing her extreme hunger. I was just looking at her in worry for she was so far gone. I was really thirsty as well since I haven't had a drink since that first night. Carlisle has expressed concerns about that since he mentioned that my eyes were black in color. I just said that I wouldn't leave Carrie's side and would feed when she was better.
I noticed that she was about to try and run again but I managed to cut her off before she got too far. I grabbed hold of her and slammed her into a nearby tree. I held her body against it with my own. I grabbed hold of her wrists tightly and held them above her head. "Come on Carrie, snap out of it you're stronger than this," I said to her. I could tell that she couldn't understand what I was saying to her and I could feel my self control slipping as well. Her scent was just so much more tantalizing now. I thought her scent was pleasing before, but now it is just divine without the scent of death clingling to her as it does slightly with a living beings. Now it was that of a pure, untouched, unpolluted forest. Carrie just continued to struggle and I let out a growl to get her to settle down. She continued to try to fight against me but I just voiced my displeasure at her actions. She eventually calmed down and bared her neck to me with a whimper. I leaned forward and took in her scent while letting her know that I was pleased with her actions, though in the back of my mind I was unsure of why I was doing what I was doing. Before I could stop myself though I found myself biting her neck where I had earlier, marking her as mine. I was brought out of my haze though when I felt her do the same along side of my neck, but I didn't pull away as she drunk some of my blood. In fact it seemed to calm her down.
I could tell that the others were coming so I pulled away and Carrie did as well while licking her lips clean of blood and I did the same with mine. Surprisingly the blood didn't disgust me this time like it did before when I first bit her. I backed away from the tree pulling Carrie along with me. The others came to a stop about twenty feet away. "Is she alright Edward," Carlisle asked me.
"She'll be fine. Somebody go get two large deer and bring them here," I told them while keeping my eyes on Carrie and a tight hold on her wrists. I could tell that Emmett and Jasper left since they are the two of the better hunters. Carrie just moved closer and I heard her take deep breaths taking in my scent. She still seemed to find comfort in my scent. I watched as she moved to stand on her tip toes and I stiffened when I felt her tongue come in contact with my skin. It dawned on me then that she did in fact bite me and I was bleeding and she was cleaning up the blood. I just watched as she stood there with her eyes closed cleaning up the blood. I saw that she was bleeding as well but I didn't move to clean it up. I had to take care of her thirst first, these actions are not truely hers and I needed to get the one I loved to come back to me, and in order to that I need to first get the beast in her now to calm.
Jasper and Emmett soon returned and dropped the deer at their feet where they stood half way between us and the others. Carrie jumped a bit at the sound and hissed at displeasure at them. I turned toward them slightly and said, "Get the smell of the blood in the air; we need to get her to drink." I heard the sound of flesh tearing and I could smell the blood coming from them. Carrie could as well as she began to sniff the air. I slowly lead her over to the deer and forced her to her knees by getting down on mine. I leaned forward and licked the bite wound to get her attention. When I was sure I had it I moved so that my mouth was next to her ear. "Drink," I commanded her as I moved her closer to the blood. I knew that in this state right now she had to do what I said since I have bit her as mine, my mate. Part of me was slightly disgusted at what i did and what she and the others woudl think but that wasn't my priority right now. I watched as she leaned down and began to feed before I moved to do the same with my deer. With this being her first feed I made sure that she got the larger deer. The entire time we were feeding me and the others kept a close eye on her but remained silent so as to not scare Carrie.
I pulled away when I was finished and watched as Carrie continued to suck the deer dry. When she pulled away she kept her head bowed so that I couldn't see her expression. We watched silently as she slowly brought her hands up and buried them in her hair next to her temples. I could hear her thoughts begin to bounce around in her mind questing what was going on, she was starting to come back to herself. Before any of us ask what was wrong she let out a gasp and clenched her hands into fists.
"Carrie, what's wrong," I asked as I wrapped my arms around her.
"My head hurts," she managed to say in a harsh whisper.
"Carlisle," I said as I turned toward him.
He came over and took the pen light out of his pocket and examined her eyes. When the light hit her eyes she closed her eyes and tried to move away from the light. Carlisle stood up with a sigh. I looked up at him questionably as I pulled Carrie closer to my chest. "My guess is that the last bit of the venom is getting to work, making its final changes to her form. That, and from her reaction to the light just now, she is getting use to seeing again. Let's get her home, she'll be more comfortable there," he said. He turned around and headed toward home the others following him. I scooped Carrie up in my arms and picked up the rear. I could hear the thoughts of how relieved the others are. They are glad that Carrie is alright and the transformation was a success. Esme was happy that she still had her new daughter. Carlisle was astounded that Carrie seemed to defy all odds and survived with how seriously she was wounded. Emmett was happy that his little sister is out of the woods. Alice was looking forward to the next shopping trip to clothe Carrie's new body. Rosalie was surprised at Carrie's looks. Jasper was quiet as always, but he was thinking of ways to help Carrie with her new form and trying to come up with ways that all of this could be explained with others. I didn't care about all of that, I was just so glad that I am able to hold her in my arms again. Best of all I get the chance to spend all eternity together now. With this thought a grin spread across my face and I placed a kiss on Carrie's head. She was still in pain but it doesn't seem to be as bad as before.
We arrived at the house and we all headed to our respective rooms, so to speak. Esme and Carlisle headed to their room, Rosalie went with Emmett to his room and Alice walked hand in hand with Jasper into his. I carried Carrie into her room and placed her on the bed. I left her just to close the door and I came back and crawled into bed behind her. I wrapped my arms around her like I have done a lot as of late and pulled her as close to me as I could get. Her hands were still clenched in her hair so I brought my hands up and gently removed her hands from her person. When her hands were removed her fingers interlaced with my own as she snuggled deeper against me. It's astounding how well we fit together now. We fit together before but now we are a perfect match. She must have gained at least three inches to her height. I brush all these thought to the side though as I held her to me and I settled in for a decent night of rest; the first in a long time.*
For the rest of the week and the week after none of us went to school. A couple of days later Carrie's pain stopped. She was 'knocked for a loop' she said when she opened her eyes and saw that she could see. She was astounded at the way that she could see everything so vibrantly and in great detail. The rest of the time we were getting her use to being a vampire. Teaching her to hunt, things like that. A big test came though when Bella made and unannounced and surprisingly unforeseen visit.
We were all just sitting in the living room and the girls were taking their turn of coddling Carrie…again. Esme was sitting in the middle of a sofa with Carrie on her right who was lying across her lap. Alice was on the other side of Carrie, holding her legs and Rosalie was on the other side of Esme playing with Carrie's hair.
"I still can't believe you cut your hair. It was so gorgeous and long," Rosalie said as she was making a small braid.
"Well you try having hair that long. It gets annoying after a while and it kept getting in the way and I kept sitting on it," Carrie said. Two days after her headache was gone and after a little hunting trip we came home and Carrie was complaining about how often her hair got entangled in the bushes and everything. Well after she had a shower to clean up a bit she grabbed a pair of scissors, walked up to Esme and demanded that she cut her hair. At first Esme was unwilling to since she had fallen in love with the new locks. But after Carrie threatened to hack it off herself, Esme, with a heavy heart cut Carrie's hair so that it reached her hips like before. "And besides it was difficult to wash also; it took twice as much shampoo and conditioner than before. After that you three formed a line behind me just to comb it out. Besides my hair is still longer than yours," she said with a small laugh. Rosalie retaliated my giving a sharp tug on the braid that she was working on, getting an 'owe' out of Carrie., not that it really hurt her or anything.
"Now behave children," Esme said as she ran her fingers through a small portion of hair that was in her lap. Just then the door bell rang which had us looking at each other in confusion. We all looked toward Alice to see if she knew who could be at the door but she shook her head in the negative. For some reason none of us could tell who was at the door. Carlisle and Esme got up and headed toward the door to answer it. The rest of us stood up in the living room to be prepared for anything. I went over to Carrie and wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly to me. She hasn't had any experience with people yet in this form so we are not sure how she will react. Carrie just leaned back against me and waited like the rest of us.
"Ah Bella, what a surprise; we weren't expecting you to be dropping by," we heard Carlisle say from the front door. We all started to panic then. Bella has the most tempting scent that we have ever encountered. It wouldn't be good if Carrie got a whiff of it, she'll probably end up in a frenzy. Our forms started to stiffen as Bella's scent reached our noses. We all looked to Carrie and were surprised when she looked as calm as ever.
"Well I wanted to know how Carrie is doing. I haven't seen her around lately and I heard that she and all of you were gone for her surgery. Well I got curious so I came up here to check it out. So there must be another reason for why she and the others aren't at school," Bella said.
"I thought as much, but I don't really think that it is a good idea at the moment Bella, for your own safety," Carlisle said quietly with slight pleading.
"It's okay Carlisle," Rosalie called out, "nothing seems to be happening." We heard a set of heels coming in our direction. Esme came around the corner looking at us curiously. We just looked toward Carrie who was still as calm as before, watching as speck of dust as it flew through the sunlight.
"They're right Carlisle," Esme called back.
We heard Carlisle say, "Alright but just be careful." I could now hear the confusion of Jacob's thoughts at Carlisle's actions. I could hear as they slowly and hesitantly came to the living room. With each step that they took Bella's scent came closer and closer but Carrie still showed no signs of being affected by it.
When they finally made their appearance Carrie finally turned her attention toward Bella and Jacob. "Hi Bella, how's it going," she said with a smile. She would have waved but my arms around her prevented that.
Bella gasped, bringing her hands up to her mouth, when she turned to who spoke. "Carrie? Is that you," she asked.
"Yep, it's me. I look pretty different huh," she said with a smile. Carrie is more carefree now after her transformation; she acts a bit more like Alice but not drastically so. She said that she was acting the way because she was so happy that the pain was finally gone. "Who's the guy with you," she asked in confusion as she tilted her head to the right slightly.
"This is Jake, you've met him before," Bella said confused.
"Well I may have met him, but I don't remember what he looked like," Carrie said a bit defensively. Of course she would have a hard time putting a name with the face even if she remembered the name, Jacobs' appearance has changed drastically with the awakening of his werewolf blood. Carrie then looked Jacob over then said with a small giggle, "Alice was right, he is cute." Jacob stiffened and blushed at her words. I stiffened as well, shocked at what she said. I tightened my arms around her more while giving a look to Alice and Carrie leaned into me more with a small sigh that only I heard.
"You can see now? The surgery worked," Bella said excitedly.
"There was no surgery," Rosalie said crossing her arms.
"It came back on its own." Bella asked confused.
"Think about it," Rosalie snapped. "Her vision is back and her appearance has drastically changed and there is no evidence of her scars. What could cause that?"
Bella looked at her confused before she turned back and looked over Carrie again. "You changed her," Jacob said pulling Bella closer to him protectively, his body tensing, ready for anything. We all nodded.
"Why, when," Bella asked quietly.
"The same day she was shot. She was dying so Edward bit her. The stress was so much that she slipped unconscious. Carrie was in a coma like state for eight days before she died," Carlisle explained.
"You mean became one of you type of die, right," Bella asked.
"No I actually died, or a part of me died at least," Carrie said adding her bit to the conversation about her.
"What do you mean by that," Jacob asked confused, as was everyone else.
'I think I'll explain that one,' I heard a voice call. The others must have heard it as well for they were looking around for the cause of it. Our attention was drawn to Esme as she let out a gasp. The cross that Carrie had given her for Christmas, which she has worn since that day, was glowing and floating a bit away from her. A flash of light shot from the necklace to the center of the room; When the light was gone a ghostly form of a wolf was left behind. We were all suddenly on defensive at the wolf's sudden appearance. The wolf did not appear to be startled as it sat there looking us over.
"Broken Wing," Carrie said from behind me. I had placed her there when I saw that the cross was glowing.
'Morning Dove, my child,' the wolf said as it bowed its head in acknowledgment toward Carrie.
"Who are you and what are you doing here," Jacob shouted. He was standing protectively in front of Bella. Alice was now standing next to him as well, but he didn't seem to notice as he kept his attention on the strange wolf. Jasper of course was standing near Alice but his thoughts so far was that the wolf wasn't there to cause any harm like it had said, it's emotions calm and peaceful.
'As Morning Dove and myself have said, my name is Broken Wing, but you can call me Sue for that is what I was called when I was alive, and I am here to answer your questions,' the wolf, Broken Wing, said.
"Who is this Morning Dove of which you speak," Carlisle asked confused like all the others at this strange phenomenon, but still trying to be a voice of calm and reason as he stood a few steps in front of Esme.
"It is me," Carrie said as she stepped out from around me. I moved to stop her but she avoided my grasp.
"You know this wolf," Emmett asked with a small growl like sound. He was slightly crouched down, arms and legs slightly spread, standing protectively in front of Rosalie whom was standing tense directly behind him.
"Of course I do, she's my mother," Carrie said as she sat down a few feet away from the wolf. We all gasped at that, especially Esme.
'Perhaps if you all have a seat I will explain,' the wolf, now known as Carrie's mother said as she motioned with her paw to the ground. We all looked to each other hesitant to do so, but with Carrie's encouragement we formed a circle, sitting right where we were standing. I took a seat next to Carrie, after picking her up and placing her a bit farther from the strange ghost like wolf and held her close to my side and held her hand with the other. The others still looked to be on edge but they seemed somewhat eager to hear what the she wolf had to say.
'I think I'll start from the beginning. My grandmother, Carrie's great-grandmother, was the last of her family, the Swift Water clan and of the Running Horse branch. The family like Jacob had the ability to take on the form of their inner animal. Mine is what you see before you, Carrie's is much the same,' the she wolf said.**
"You're a wolf," Bella asked Carrie, interrupting Broken Wing.
"Yeah I guess. I didn't really get a clear look at my animal self, but I have a feeling that I was cute though." Carrie said as she placed her head against my shoulder. Broken Wing lifted one of her paws and pointed it toward Carrie. A ball of light flew from it and to Carrie in the time that it took for me to blink. Carrie was engulfed in light and when it died down a beautiful wolf was in her place. The wolf, Carrie, looked vastly different from her mother. Instead of having dark brown fur, Carrie's was closer to a reddish brown. And despite her being a wolf her scent stayed the same and it didn't repulse me like the regular werewolf scents. As I looked over her new form I couldn't help but think…
"Wow, you kind of look like Jacob in his wolf form," Bella said.
'Really', came Carrie's voice from the wolf which had its head tilted to the side. Before anything could be said Jacob was surrounded by light as well and when it disappeared there was Jake in his wolf form. Carrie got up from my side and went over to look at Jacob. He too came forward to check her out after the confusion of his sudden and different change. It was true they did look sort of alike but Carrie's fur was a little less red and more brown tones than his. They still looked enough alike however that they could pass as litter mates if they were actual wolves. They stood in the middle staring at each other. Carrie sat down on her haunches and tilted her head to the left. 'Wow you're big.' It was true; Carrie was the size of a normal wolf while Jacob was somewhere between the size of a bear and a horse. Jacob lifted one of his massive paws and placed it on top of Carrie's head. Carrie just shook the paw off, moved back and took up a position that reminded me of a puppy that wanted to play; front end close to the ground, rear end up. Her tail was even wagging.
Her tail seemed to grab her attention as she stood up fully and turned her head around to look behind her. She seemed fascinated as she watched it wag. 'Should I or shouldn't I,' was the thought we heard. I was wondering what she meant by that when she did a wolfish shrug and proceeded … to chase her tail; It was quite entertaining to see her running in circles trying to catch her tail. I noticed that her mother and Jacob just shook their heads in embarrassment at her actions. Rosalie and I were slightly embarrassed as well while the others were enjoying the spectacle that she was creating. Carrie stopped though when her feet slipped out from underneath her and she fell to the floor.
"She's so cute," Alice gushed. Carrie's ears perked up at her words and slowly crawled her way over to Alice on her stomach, who proceeded to pet her. Jacob just moved back over and sat next to Bella. He was soon engulfed in light again and when it was gone he was once again in his human form and he was relieved that his clothes didn't rip to shreds when he changed. Carrie just slowly moved person to person and cuddled next to them for a little bit. Alice, Rosalie and Esme petted her ears. Carlisle just seemed fascinated at her appearance. Jasper scratched her lightly on the shoulder, which caused her back leg to twitch like mad and her tail to wag. Emmett pulled on her wagging tail. Carrie turned around and playfully snapped at him. I even took a turn and petted her.
Carrie was currently curled up in Esme's lap who was softly petting her fur. 'See I told you I was cute,' Carrie said as she released what I would consider a purr at the attention she was getting from Esme.
"I guess, if you call that cute," I said as I turned my head away and crossed my arms across my chest.
'Why you,' Carrie said as she got out of Esme's lap. When she was standing she then proceeded to run towards me. When she got close enough she jumped at me. When all of her feet left the ground she was surrounded by a ball of light which collided into me, knocking me on my back. When the light faded, there was Carrie laying on my chest looking down on me. "See, I told you that I would pounce on you someday."
"I see that," I said as I wrapped my arms around her. 'You should have told me sooner that you liked it on top,' was the thought that I sent her. Somehow she still managed to blush bright red. "Now that is cute."
'As amusing as it is to watch her interact with my daughter I still have much to explain,' the she wolf said. Carrie and I sat up but I didn't let her get too far away from me. I just sat up with my arms still around her so she ended up in my lap. I just allowed her enough room to move so that she could turn around and face the others and not me.
'As I was saying our ancestors had the ability to take the form of their inner animal. Carrie's great-grandmother was the last one with this ability. Most of the family was killed off long ago due to prejudice and people wanting their land, while those that remained slowly died off until the clan was no more. My father and myself have received certain gifts, if you want to call them that, from our blood,' she said.
"What was your gift," Carlisle asked.
"Her gift is kind of like Alice's and a bit like Jasper's combined. Instead of seeing the future like Alice can, she can feel it so to speak," Carrie explained.
'This is true, but perhaps an example would be better. When I was around thirty years of age I received a rush of emotions that had me feeling motherly. The next day I went out and bought that cross that you are wearing around your neck," Sue said as she motioned to the cross Esme was wearing. Esme brought her hand up and grabbed hold of said object. 'Sure enough two months later I became pregnant with Morning Dove.'
'However when I was seven months pregnant I felt that I was not long for this world. So the day of her birth I put some of the last of my energy into that necklace and made my wishes known for it to be given to Carrie when she was older. The necklace was never given to her and I watched from the home of our ancestors as she had to fend for herself by the time that she could crawl. One day while she was left alone I called her to the necklace. She found it and it has been in her possession ever since them until she gave it to you matriarch, Esme.'
"So you have been watching over her since you died," Esme asked as she pulled away a little from Carlilse to lean a littler closer to the spirit wolf.
'I have. I sat next to the stream of life and watched as she struggled to live. I cried when she could not and when she was in really bad shape I would allow a small bit of my energy to be released in order to comfort her,' Broken Wing said with a nod of her head.
"Then you must know the reason for why she was treated so harshly," I said as I tightened my grip around Carrie. She sensing my discomfort turned around and placed a kiss on my jaw and lightly squeezed the arms that were holding her.
'I do. It was written in the stars that she would live a harsh life in order to prepare her for what was to come, but her family's reasons were more personal. My sister and her children are just naturally sadistic and her father was upset that she wasn't a boy. His mother left behind a large sum of money to him when she passed, but he could only get it if his first born was a son. Thom wanted a son anyways to pass on the family name and he thought daughters were useless as well before the money came into the equation, but they were that way to her due to their greed and laziness,' she explained sadly.
"What did you mean by 'it was written in the stars' for Carrie to have a harsh life," Emmett asked.
'As I have explained Carrie is descended from shape shifters, even though the original blood is diluted, it flows very strongly in her veins. Her hardships are what strengthened her blood. It was unlocked so to speak with her near death experience this past winter. Without that blood she would have died. That near death experience fully awakened the blood in her veins in a manner of speaking,' Sue paused before she continued.
'It was done so she could fulfill the destiny laid out before her. Her name Carrie means victory for the people/ victory of the people. Her true name Morning Dove means a new beginning, a better, brighter future, and things like this. All her life she has been living in stealth which is her natural born gift but over all her gift is that of survival. And she was sent here to help you as much as she was for all of you to help her. An example of the stealth is when people could see her but not acknowledge her and the way that you could not see her through other people when you used your gift.' she said looking to me.
"She is the one I saw coming all that time ago," Alice said, which was confirmed with a nod of the wolf's head. We had all forgotten about that vision, we were too worried about Carrie.
'Now to discuss the consequences of the decision you made in the meadow," the wolf said as it turned to fully face Carrie. "You were given three choices: to stay on the side that you were on, jump in the river, or to cross over to the side that I was on. If you stayed on the side you were on you would either had been allowed to come back and live a pain filled life as a human for a few decades until the pain became too much for you to handle and you died either by suicide or your body finally giving out or died and stayed there for all eternity. To cross over you would have died and taken on your wolf form and lived with our ancestors. To jump into the river you would have died and never be given a chance to return to paradise, to give up on that part of your life forever,' Broken Wing said.
"As I told you before I didn't give it any thought. I just saw how everyone looked so sad and couldn't stand it. When I saw how hard Edward took to me dying, I felt my heart shatter and I just jumped into the river without another thought," Carrie said.
'Thus you took on your current state,' she said. 'Now you I must inform you of the decision made by the others. Usually what you did is frowned upon, but you did it out of concern for others and not yourself. Therefore you will be allowed to keep your previous gift, which allowed you to be 'looked over' by others. In addition you will be allowed to have the gift of illusions which you get from your fox relatives with the knowledge of how to use it.'
Carrie's form started to glow as Sue finished speaking. While Carrie was still glowing she began to speak again. 'Along with this I am to give you two gifts. One is a spell that will allow you and your vampire family to sleep, yes I said sleep. However this spell can only be used once a month. This is a gift from the others as thanks for looking after Morning Dove. The second gift … well let's just say you will know it when it happens.' Carrie stopped glowing a few seconds later. She wrapped her arms around herself and had a small look of puzzlement on her face as she looked over her mother.
'With this said the last of the energy has been used and I shall return to the other side, to paradise, to the home of our ancestors. Farewell my daughter, my Morning Dove. Just know that you have made me very proud.' As she said this the she wolf began to glow before she slowly began to fade away, out of existence. We continued to sit there in silence on the floor as we thought about what we had just seen and heard.
"Huh, I thought that I would be use to strange things happening around me by now," Bella said quietly. We all let out a small chuckle at that.
"I wonder," Carrie mumbled and we all turned to look at her curiously. I just looked down on her since she was still in my lap. She was sitting up straight, arms crossed and eyes closed. It appeared as if she was thinking about something. Before any of us could say anything Carrie was surrounded by a bright light that extended out from her and then shrunk back, but smaller than before. When the light was gone there was Carrie as she had appeared before the transformation, scars and everything. When she opened her eyes they were a milky color, drastically different from before where they looked burnt and red. "Well, how do I look?"
"Like you did before," Carlisle said in awe, "but the eyes are different."
"Really," Carrie asked as her eyes suddenly cleared showing the hazel from before her injury.
Carlisle got up and examined her eyes closely. "I think that we have just found your disguise," he said with a small smile as he took a seat next to us.
"What about Bella's scent," Jasper asked confused as he looked at Carrie as she took her vampire form.
"What about it," Carrie said confused as to what he meant.
"He means why it does not seem to affect you. She has one of the most tantalizing scents that we have ever come across. We are wondering why it does not seem to bother you when we ourselves had a hard time resisting it at first," I told her.
"Really," Carrie said questionably. I nodded to her inquiry. Carrie then turned toward Bella and took a tentative sniff of the air. "She does smell really nice and so does Jacob, he smells like family in a way, but I don't feel any different.
"No thirst or anything," Carlisle asked intrigued at this new information. Carrie shook her head in the negative. I heard some shuffling and we all turned to see Bella getting up off the floor with Jacob's help. We all stood up as well since there really was no reason for us to be sitting on the floor any longer. Bella slowly and nervously made her way toward us with Jacob right behind her. I gripped tighter on to Carrie's arms and the others took ready stances just in case any thing does happen. When Bella was right in front of us and Carrie didn't seem to do anything I hesitantly released my grip on her arms. Bella stepped even closer and they continued to stare at each other. Carrie gave a tentative smile which Bella returned and they met each other in a hug with the sunlight streaming in causing Carrie to sparkle.
(Not sure how to work in language part, Thinking Sue 'took over' Carrie to let Jake know that she, and the others, can be trusted. And that everything was going to be alright)
