Tomas's POV:
My mind was far from the thought of human blood when I smelled it. The most delicious smelling thing that I had the pleasure of experiencing. Even if I had tried, I couldn't resist the urge to go follow the scent. I finally saw what the source of my temptation was. Stumbling through the woods was a girl, a human girl, of about eighteen years of age.
I frowned and stepped back instinctively. I had trained myself for years to only drink from animal blood. I could never forgive myself if I killed her, an innocent human whose only crime was to tempt me with her delicious scent. But how could I resist? I was thirsty, very, very thirsty, and she was the only appetizing thing that I stumbled on in this entire god-forsaken place.
I sighed, and followed her. Surely I was allowed one human every once in a while. Finally she tripped and didn't get up. I crept silently near her and placed my mouth above her neck where the most delicious fragrance was rising into the air, polluting it with its sheer glory.
"Just do it," she mumbled. I sprang back in surprise.
"Please, just kill me now," she said. Shaking, I walked silently back to the girl. I rolled her over onto her back and looked into her eyes. I was astonished at the amount of pain and agony I saw there.
"Please," she whimpered, her whole body trembling. I nodded and positioned my mouth above her neck once again. With venom practically dripping from my mouth, I sunk my teeth into her warm flesh and drank. The pleasure was overwhelming. Never had I experienced this feeling when feeding off of humans.
"Edward," the girl mumbled. Her words snapped me out of my daze. How could I do this to an innocent human? She had family and friends and a life, and I was taking that all away from her because of my own selfish desires. I pulled away quickly, then realized what I had done.
Now, because of me, this girl was destined to become a vampire. She couldn't see her family or her friends or family again anyway, despite my good intentions. Not now. Not ever. And it was all my fault.
"No!" she yelled franticly, writhing in the pain. "No! Please, no! Just kill me! I can't live for eternity like this!"
I was both saddened and puzzled at her words. How did she know that she was going to live for eternity?
I picked her up, and started to run. The house was only about three hours away if I ran very quickly. I ran faster in those three hours than I had in my entire five hundred years of existence as a vampire.
"Tomas!" my wife, Elizabeth yelled out joyfully. I could tell that she was surprised that I had come home so quickly after our fight. Never had I come back in less than twenty-four hours.
Elizabeth ran to me, prepared to leap into my arms until she saw the girl that I was holding with the utmost care.
"What in the world did you do?" she asked, her topaz eyes wide. She stared into my eyes and gasped in shock as she saw the blood-red streaks of color, tainting the gold of my eyes.
"You bit her!" she yelled, backing away from me. "How could you? She's not even close to death!"
"Elizabeth, honey, I can explain," I said quickly. Elizabeth glared at me.
"Bring her inside," she said coldly. Then she turned around and ran back to the house. I sighed and followed.
I gently set the girl down on the couch, watched by the anxious eyes of my "daughter" and "son".
"Who is she?" Annabel, my adoptive daughter asked, eyes wide.
"Yes, Tomas, who is she?" Elizabeth asked, her hands on her hips.
"I-I don't know," I said, hanging my head sadly. Annabel walked over and patted my back.
"Isabella," the girl choked out. All eyes turned to her. "My name's Isabella Swan, but I prefer Bella." She gasped in pain, and let out a terrible scream, and then fell silent.
"So, Tomas, do you want to tell us all how you "saved" this girl?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well, you see," I started nervously, "while I was running through the woods near Forks, you know, that small town near La Push where all the werewolves live-"
"We know where Forks is," my wife said coldly.
"What happened, Dad?" Ethan, my adoptive son asked, frowning slightly, and looking over at Isabella, or Bella I should say.
"Anyway, I was running through the woods, and as you know I hadn't fed for awhile, so I was very thirsty. All of a sudden, I smelled Bella's scent, and never before in my existence had I smelled such a wonderful scent as Bella's, so I followed her."
"Surely you could have resisted," Elizabeth interrupted.
"I'm sure I could have, but do you remember the policeman that smelled so wonderful to you that you couldn't bear to let him go past you without drinking his delicious blood?" I asked gently. Elizabeth hung her head in shame. I took my hand and placed it under her chin, and raised her head up so she could look into my eyes.
"It was exactly like that," I said quietly. She nodded in understanding.
"Anyway," I said, continuing, "Bella finally tripped and just laid on the ground, so I crept up silently behind her and was about to drink her blood when she said, 'Just do it. Kill me now.' I was so surprised that I leaped away from her. After I recovered from the shock, I positioned myself once again over her neck to drink her blood, but before I did, I looked into her eyes and saw immense pain and suffering. So I drank some of her blood before I realized that what I was doing was entirely wrong. So I stopped, and pulled away, then I realized what I had done, and brought her back here, and now here we are."
"I wonder why she was suffering," Annabel said sadly. I put my arm around her shoulders.
"Perhaps now the pain will go away," I said gently, smiling a little at my gentle little Annabel.
I gazed at Bella sadly. She was only about eighteen. She still had so much life to live.
The next three days were tense. Elizabeth had forgiven me and spent much of her time by Bella's side as I did. Annabel and Ethan were by her side as well as soon as they got back from their school.
Finally, she screamed one last time, and opened her eyes.
"Where am I?"
Author's Note: Ah yes, don't we all love a good Bella-gets-turned-then-meets-Edward-years-later story? I know it's not exactly an original idea, I hope you read it anyway! I'm sorry if some things are confusing. Even though I've already got the next few chapters written, I would be happy to edit them to explain better. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you stick around until the end of the story! And it would mean the world to me if you reviewed!
