AN: I'm SO sorry for not updating quick enough! I know it's been like a month, maybe more, but I've been SO busy at school. So here's a chapter, I'll try to make it long, and then update quicker. Sorry everyone. Please enjoy.
Chapter 15EDWARD POV
It was hard for me to adjust. Yes, I loved her more than she could ever imagine, and she was still mine forever, but I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed as I ran after Bella.
It was too late to stop her from feeding. She had already sunk her vicious, killer teeth into the animal's neck and was sucking hungrily. She looked savage, out of control, I couldn't help but feel over whelming sadness, that I had done this to Bella, my beautiful wife, who used to be so innocent, so… human, I had turned her into this horrible creature. I had turned her into this…monster.
I could not stop the feeling of guilt creeping up on me. Finally Bella stopped and turned to me, the glowing redness of her eyes dulled slowly. She turned to me, blood dripping from her mouth. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then looked down, eyes widening in horror to find the stain left there.
She turned and stared at the animal, whose neck was still weeping blood, the flesh and bone still showing. Bella sobbed, she tried to cry, but couldn't. I could see her trying to make the tears come, but they wouldn't.
She collapsed on the ground. I could only stand there. Carlisle came from behind me and picked her up.
"Come on Edward," he said coldly. He was clearly disappointed in me. I had done nothing to help her. Bella was of course conscious, but she was not moving, was not speaking, was not breathing, her eyes were open but I could see no life in them.
It was almost like she was truly dead. I felt the worst I had ever felt in my life, and finally she moved. She mouthed, 'I'm sorry.'
And suddenly a rush of thought came to me, in a clear angelic voice in my head, so familiar.
"I'm so sorry Edward."
"It will get easier over time, I promise." I replied with my thoughts.
The corners of Bella's mouth slightly lifted. I tried to penetrate her thoughts, but of course, nothing.

BELLA'S POV
Of course I could see everything, I could hear everything, I could feel everything, though I could not move. The thirst had dulled. I felt powerful, stronger than I had ever felt. Physically I was at my peak, though emotionally I was a wreck.
I wrapped my arms around my legs and pulled them into my chest (trying to stop shivering) and leaned against the seat in the back of the car, where Carlisle had placed me. He whispered something nice to me, though I did not here it.
I had lost control, so easily. I thought I would be able to resist and it was only an animal. I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I was also disgusted in myself. At the single animal, grazing around 100 metres away from the car, I had turned into a savage uncontrollable monster.
No one was saying a word, but I was communicating to Edward. I don't know how, but I could. I could hear his beautiful voice in my head, soothing and calming me, till I had stopped shaking.
I could talk to him. I don't know how, but I just… could.
"Edward I don't know how I'm doing this," I said through my thoughts.
"Do you think this is the gift you've been given?"
"No…I feel there's something more. There's just something within me that soon will be unleashed. I can feel it."
Edward was silent.
I looked up to find Carlisle staring at me through the mirror.
"I'm so sorry Carlisle, I just… couldn't stop myself. I feel so ashamed, and embarrassed."
"It's alright Bella. I understand it must be very hard for you."
I nodded slightly. But the overwhelming scent hit my nostrils again, not as strong, but still pungent. Thirst burnt through my throat like fire. My mouth was baked and desiccated. My stomach twisted with hunger.
My muscles coiled to spring, but Edward's sharp thoughts cleared my head.
"No Bella! You can resist it."
I relaxed, the smell dulled as we drove further away from it. I was safe again.
Finally after what had seemed like days of driving, Carlisle stopped the car.
"Well, we're finally here."
I found Edward had run to my door, he opened it for me and grabbed my hand. I stood up and walked towards the house. It was a massive mansion, very much like the Cullen's but a lot more modern. I was at my new home.

AN: YES, short I know. I'm so sorry everyone, I feel really bad for leaving it this long, but I never wanted to do this story half-arsed, so I wasn't going to quickly write up a horribly written chapter just to say I updated. But yeah sorry it took so long. I promise I will update quicker from now on. Hope you enjoyed, please review.
