Falling For You ~Edward Cullen~
Chapter 1
Hi guys!!!! hope you guys will like this story :)
I don't own Twilight or the characters expect for "Arianna Cullen" and I will not take credit for Arianna's transformation , Bella's transformation. I don't own any of the paragraphs in between the *. It's all from Breaking Dawn. I wanted to make it as similar with Bella's transformation so I used those from the book so I will NOT take credit for it.
Just saying again the paragraphs between the * is not mine it's from the book. Everything else is mine. so now THAT'S all cleared up..... ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
Arianna's P.O.V
*Let me die, let me die, let me die.
And for a never-ending space, that was all there was. Just the fiery torture, and my soundless shrieks, pleading for death to come. Nothing else, not even time. So that made it infinite, with no beginning and no end. One infinite moment of pain.
The only change came when suddenly, impossibly, my pain was doubled. The lower part of my body, was suddenly on fire too. Some broken connection had been healed. Knitted together by the scorching fingers of the flame.
The endless burn raged on.
It could'have been seconds or days, weeks or years, but eventually time came to mean something again. I could feel the control of my body come back to me in increments, and those increments were my first markers of the time passing. I knew it when I was able to twitch my toes and twist my fingers into fists. I knew it but I did't act on it.
Though the fire did not decrease one tiny degree- in fact, I began to develop a new capacity for experiencing it, a new sensitivity to appreciate, separately, each blistering tongue of flame that licked through my veins- I discovered that I could think around it. I could remember why I shouldn't't scream. I could remember the reason- though it isn't't much of a reason- why I'd committed to enduring this unendurable agony.
This happened just in time for me to hold on when the weights left my body.
To anyone watching me, there would be no change. But for me as I struggled to keep the screams and thrashing locked up inside my body, where they couldn't hurt anyone else, it felt like I'd gone from being tied to the stake as I burned, to gripping that stake to hold myself in the fire.
I had just enough strength to lie there unmoving while I was charred alive. My hearing got clearer and clearer, and I could hear the frantic, pounding beats of my heart to mark the time.
I could count the shallow breaths that gasped through my teeth. I could count the low even breaths that came from somewhere close beside me. These moved the slowest, so I concentrated on them. They meant the most time passing. More even than a clock's pendulum, those breaths pulled me through the burning seconds toward the end.
I continued to get stronger, my thoughts clearer. When new noises came, I could listen.
There were light footsteps, the whisper of the air stirred by an opening door. The footsteps got closer, and I felt pressure against the insides of my wrist. I couldn't feel the coldness of the fingers. The fire blistered away every memory of cool.
"Still no change?"
"None"
The lightest pressure, breath against my scorched skin.
"There's no scent of the morphine left"
"I know"*
"Can you hear her?"
"No. I think her brain is not working yet?" My brain? My brain is working fine, thank you very much, I wanted to say. But I can't trust myself not to scream. Then I heard a chuckle. Then another female voice "If you say anything, I will rip you bit by bit." the girl said menacingly. There was a chorus of "What happened?" "What did she say?" A very appealing voice spoke up. I think it was the same on who chuckled. "Rose is very jealous of the girl. She's upset that someone is finally more beautiful than her." the boy said still chuckling. I heard a growl, followed by laughter.
"Not here Edward." a voice warned.
"She's coming around!"
Finally, I felt like I could control myself so I slowly opened my eyes. Everything is so clear! I can see dust on the ceiling. What happened? OMG! I was attacked by a-a-a thing....oh right it was a mountain lion! Did I become a ghost? Maybe that's why I can see everything so clearly. Oh no! what about my family? my mom, my dad and my little sister they'll be devastated! "Hello, how do you feel?" a voice snapped me back to reality.
My head snapped to the direction the voice was coming from which was from my right was 7 very beautiful people lined up by the wall.
The blond man who I assume was the one who spoke is handsomer than any movie star I've ever seen. He also has a very kind face and I'm assuming he's around his mid-twenties.
The woman standing beside him has caramel colored hair, slender but round and has a heart shaped face. It was like Snow White in the flesh.
The boy standing next to her has honey colored hair and is covered in crescent shaped scars, his face guarded.
The other boy beside him is very muscular with dark brown curly hair. Very burly and big.
The last boy had tousled bronze hair, lean and he was more boyish than the others who looked like they could be in college.
The girls were the exact opposite. The blonde one looks like a model on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition with long wavy blonde hair and is astonishingly beautiful.
The last girl was pixie like. She had sharp features, black spiky hair and I noticed is very short.
They don't look anything alike but they all have the same pale skin, perfect face and beautiful golden eyes. And they also kept their distance. I wonder why that is? I thought.
"I feel fine" I answered. My voice shocked me a little bit, it's still the kind of the same but there's a slight tinkly bell sound to it. They seemed surprised.
"You must be very thirsty" said the man that spoke before. "I'm Carlisle, this is Esme, my wife" he pointed to the heart-shaped face woman "Emmett" he pointed to the big brawny one "Rosalie" the beautiful model "Jasper" the guarded one "Alice" pixie girl "and last but not least, Edward" the bronze haired cutie.
The burning in my throat came back now that he mentioned it. "Hello, I'm Arianna and yes, I am quite thirsty. But....ummmm... where am I? Wasn't I attacked by a mountain lion and died? Am I a ghost?"
As soon as I said those last words, they all burst into laughter. I looked at them in confusion and I am a little offended since I was being serious.
"No, sweetie you're not a ghost" said Carlisle. "Actually I guess we have some explai-"
"You are a vampire." Emmett interrupted him.
"A what???" I shrieked. I'm being serious here and they're just making fun of me!
Jasper blocked Alice protectively. I assume that they're dating the way he protects her.
"Oh Jasper, stop being so over protective! Arianna won't do anything, she's just shocked. I would be too if I was in her place." Alice said walking around Jasper.
Then they took turns explaining. How I was attacked by a mountain lion in the woods and they found me there -while hunting- the lion about to finish me off when they saved me. Carlisle thought that it would be such a waste if they let me die so they turned me to save my life.
It took a while for me to process all of that information in but I guess it's reasonable. "Ok then, so I'm a vampire. Now what?"
They stared at me in surprise.
"You believe it?" Jasper asked in a shocked voice.
"Of course I believe it. Unless you're telling me right now that you're lying." I replied. "So I'm still very thirsty, what am I supposed to do?"
"You need to hunt. Edward will accompany you." Carlisle spoke up. "But before you go I think you should see yourself first." he showed me the huge mirror in the corner of the room. Seeing my reflection in the mirror truly shocked me. Not that I'm bragging or anything but I'm more beautiful than usual. My hair was silkier, my skin was pale. My eyes,oh, my eyes! they weren't golden. My eyes were a deep burgundy color.
"My-my eyes?" I stuttered.
"It will be gone in a few weeks. You just have to drink animal blood." Carlisle said.
Animal blood? But I love animals! I don't want to hunt them. But I guess if it means that my eyes will turn gold, I'll hunt a few. "Ok then can I hunt now? cuz my throat is literally burning right now." They all left the room except Edward. He looked at me like he expects me to do something. He led me to the window. "Just jump out and we'll be on our way." he said in a very quiet voice with an edge to it.
"Of course! Take the window when there's a door downstairs." I said sarcastically. He narrowed his eyes at me "It's faster" he jumped and I held my breath. I expected to hear a sickening crunch of bones but I heard nothing. I looked down and saw that he landed quietly looking up at me expectantly.
I took a deep breath and jumped. I landed on my feet surprisingly without breaking anything.
"Come on!" he snapped.
"Jeez. What's with the attitude?" I asked. He glared at me and ran very fast. I ran after him surprising myself yet again because I actually caught up to him.
This will be an interesting hunt......
