The day was perfect. Well, perfect for Edward and I. We were in Port Angeles wondering around the stores and restaurants. Edward said that I should spend as much time with people as I can now because when I'm a vampire I'll have to be away from them for a long time.

"Do you want anything to eat?" He asked me, his breath tickling my ear.

I shook my head, "Not yet, we just got here and I ate breakfast two hours ago." I said rolling my eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" Edward asked me.

I looked around deciding where to go when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around to be greeted by a woman in her mid-twenties. She was extremely beautiful, with sharp features jet black hair and pale skin, and she wore sunglasses so I couldn't see her eye color.

Edward growled as he saw her staring at me, and I froze as she took of her sunglasses. Her eyes were blood red just like the eyes of James, Victoria, Laurent and all the newborns. She gave me a kind smile when she saw my fear and laughed at Edward's growl. "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt Bella, Edward."

I could feel my features unfreeze into a confused expression as Edward remained rigid by my side. "How do you know our names?"

She gave a light laugh, "I know a lot of things about you two, Isabella Marie Swan soon to be Cullen, and Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. I know about your family also. I also know why Edward can not read my mind, or yours." She smiled knowingly at Edward. "I know your wishes and desires, your hopes and your dreams. I will also make one of them come true."

Ok, this was weird. Some strange vampire comes up to us knowing all about us, and is going to help us? I was not scared, only confused. "Why?" I wondered aloud.

"You two have had so much thrown at you, and will also have more thrown at you, so you both need one thing to have when you do not have each other." She gave me a soft smile and I could only wonder what her strange words held. "Edward, give me your hand."

"Excuse me?" Edward growled out.

"Do I have to spell it out for you?" She rolled her eyes dramatically. "Give me your hand." She said with such authority that Edward held out his hand palm up. Woah, this lady was more bipolar than Edward. "Bella, I'm going to give you quick instructions, so listen carefully." I nodded as I made sure I was paying close attention to each word that came out of her mouth.

"I will help you put Edward into the car, and I will give you the keys. Ignore the speed limit and go to the Cullens' home. Wait out six days and he shall be fine and perfectly healthy. It will only last for two weeks so make the most of it. It will take another three days to go back. Alright?"

My head was spinning. What was going to happen to Edward? What would last two weeks? "I am confused, what do you mean…?"

"There is no time to explain, Edward, this might sting…" The woman rushed out as she touched the middle of Edward's palm. He immediately fell to the ground with a cry of pain when her skin made contact with his.

"Edward!" I fell to my knees and grab his hand where she touched it. There was nothing wrong there, no mark or anything.

"Bella," He choked out between cries of anguish. "My hand, Bella, make it stop!"

I looked up at the woman, "What have you done to him? What is happening?"

She did not answer me, but picked up Edward and placed him in a passenger's seat in a black Porsche. "You can keep the car. Don't worry, it is not permanent but unfortunately it lasts for six days. I always did hate that part…"

"What are you talking about?" I screamed. Tears ran down my face as I heard Edward's cries for help.

She shook her head and shoved keys into my hand avoiding contact with my skin. "No time to explain," she said quickly, starting to leave.

"Wait!" I grabbed her hand, surprisingly she did not pull back. "At least tell me who and what you are."

"I am December," she answered, "and I am an Angel of Death." I gaped at her for a moment as she disappeared into the buildings and crowds of Port Angeles. I honestly would have been more surprised if I was not already preoccupied with my love.

Keys gripped tightly in my hands, I dashed to the side of the car and jumped into the driver's seat. With the tears streaming out of my eyes and my hand shaking, it took me a couple tried but I was able to stick it in. Wiping the tears from my eyes, I tried, as best as I could with the love of my life screaming in pain right next to me, to calm myself down enough to drive. Once I could see, I drove faster than maybe even Edward has ever driven. Even then it seemed like the car would not go fast enough. Each of his cries made me push harder on the gas pedal, and pray that I would not get into an accident. This would definitely not be the time.

Fifteen minutes later, I reached the house. I jumped out of the car and started screaming for help from anyone. Alice was at once by my side, she, Jasper, and Esme were the only ones home. Carlisle was at the hospital and Rosalie and Emmett were who knows where. "Bella? Bella, what is wrong? Where's Edward? Where did you get the car?"

I started rambling on through my sobs and tears, "Edward is in the car, Alice I don't know what happened, there was this girl, she told me to come here and all these other things about six days and she gave me the car and Alice I don't even know what's happening to him! She said she was an angel of death, is he dying! Oh my god, he's probably dying, oh Alice," I cried each sob becoming harder than the first, as I heard Edward cry out saying the pain was getting worse. Was he dying? How would I survive if he left this earth? Would I be able to?

Esme, hearing my hysterical crying, came out and at once started comforting me, "Oh Bella, quickly Alice, get Jasper to put Edward on his bed in his room." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jasper pick my Edward and take him into the house while Esme carried me inside and to the living room. "Jasper, please try and calm Bella down, I fear she is going hysterical."

I felt an overwhelming surge of calm enter my body and I embraced it, clinging to it as if to save my dear life. If only to pretend everything was alright.

I stopped crying and I was able to calm down a bit, "Bella?" Alice asked cautiously. I nodded for her to continue. "Can you please tell us what happened?"

I winced as more of Edward's cries rang through the house. I told them every single detail, not missing one part. After I was done I waited patiently for their responses.

"She said it would be over in six days, right?" Esme asked.

I nodded, "She said to 'Wait out six days' she also said that she always hates this part where it lasts six days. What is happening to him?"

"I have not the faintest idea, Jasper did you call Carlisle?" Esme asked him, her face contorted with worry for her 'youngest' son. Jasper gave her a nod. "Thank you, maybe he will be able to help us solve this."

"I am going to go by him," I told them and went up the stairs toward Edward's cries.

I knelt by the bed he lay in and kissed his forehead as he screamed, tears ran down my face as I whispered "I love you" into his ears multiples of time.

"Bella," He croaked. "Bella, please stop it, please." He screamed in torment.

"Stop what? Edward what hurts?" I asked frantically, looking at his hand where his pain started.

"The fire, the fire, it's so hot it's cold Bella! Please, put it out!" He cried, and I cried along. My heart tearing to shreds as I felt helpless beside him.

"I can't Edward. I'm sorry." I looked all over his hand and his wrist. Something caught my eye. There were blue lines. Bright blue lines, like the ones that matched my wrist. They looked almost like veins, as if blood was pulsing through his body towards his heart. I carefully placed my fingers on his wrist.

There was a pulse, the flesh was warm.

"Bella?" I heard a voice calling from the door way, I looked up to see that it was Carlisle.

"Oh Carlisle, thank God you're hear, Edward-" I started.

"Yes, Alice told me, do you have any idea what is happening to him?" He asked kneeling down beside me. I shook my head.

"No, but feel this," I said, placing Edward's wrist in his hands. His eyes widened.

"There is a pulse, and it is warm." He said astonished. I nodded.

"He said that there was a fire, but it is so hot it's cold. Carlisle, what is happening?" I asked, confused by it all, and then I froze as he became thoughtful.

Edward always said he liked how I was warm, and human.

"Carlisle, he is turning into a human."
