"How much longer?" I hear a worried male voice call out.
"Shouldn't be more than a few days now." Another voice responds.
A few more days until what? I want to say but it's like my body has a mind of its own and is refusing to respond.

"Do they always look this sick?"
"Yes Edward. Keep in mind she's literally dying."
"We shouldn't have done this...there had to be better options than this..."
"What's dons is done. There is no going back now. Her transformation is almost finished..."

After what felt like an eternity of darkness my eyes finally fling open. I'm greeted by the beautiful sunrise. The morning glow is peaking through the trees and pouring into Edwards room.
"She's awake." I hear Alice's voice from downstairs.
Woah! When did my hearing get so good?
I turn towards the door and see the Cullen family desperately trying to fit in the door way all at once. They were bursting at the seems to see the new vampire.
"Bella?" Edward creeps towards me. His hand reaches out to touch my face but he seems hesitant. Like he's worried I'll crack like glass.
"Edward...how do I smell?"
Edward breaks into a fang filled smile. It feels so good to hear him laugh again.
"Bella, how are you feeling?" Carlisle asks tentatively.
"Good. Better than good actually. But um...how long was I out?"
"About a week." Says Esme.
"What?! Oh my gosh! Dad! He's probably freaking out right now! I've got to get home!"
My head is so clouded with thoughts that I don't even bother to go through the door. Instead I leap out of bed and make a beeline for the window.
"Bella no!" Carlisle reaches for me but I'm too quick.
I burst through the floor to ceiling window and tumble into the forest below.
