Blood Moon

Chapter Eleven

Alice had known there would be tears, she saw them trail down Bella's cheeks, she knew there would be pain, she saw it in Bella's eyes, but she hadn't been expecting the rage that seemed to radiate from Bella's body and words.

"I'll kill him!" she vowed violently slamming her fist down on the dining table, "He is not doing this to me again!" she swore.

The Cullen's all stood silently staring in awe at her, they had never seen her look or act like such a…vampire. Out for blood, the raging fire in her eyes was bloodthirsty, and the scary half smile was like that of a crazed person as she promised what she was going to do to him.

"Bella he'll be in Italy by tomorrow, he's on a plane right now" Alice said calmly.

"So, we go after him, rip him to pieces and bring him back here before we reassemble him so I can kill him" Bella said as if it were the most rational solution.

Alice sighed, "You're a human Bella you can't just walk in there and drag him out, and he won't listen to any of us," she reasoned.

"Nothing is going to stop me from getting at his throat" Bella told her shaking her head.

Emmett smiled, "I always knew you were meant to be a vampire, and your words prove it," he laughed.

Suddenly Bella smiled happily, already thoughts were racing through her head, Alice flinched and stood still as a vision passed before her eyes, after a few seconds she looked at Bella in shock, "No Bella you cant" she whispered.

Bella shook her head again and looked at Alice ignoring all the confused vampires surrounding them, "It's the only way Alice, you said yourself I cant just walk in there, but if I'm a vampire I can" she said softly.

"But Bella, Edward doesn't want…" But Bella interrupted Alice's warnings.

"There's no other option" she said coldly with impatience, "Edward wont come back on his own, he wont listen to any of you" Bella eyes turned sad for a second, then Alice saw the pleading look in her eyes, "I lost him once Alice, and I barely survived…I cant do it again" Bella held back the tears forming in her eyes as her throat turned suddenly raw with emotion.

"You obviously saw it, so its going to happen…right" Bella convinced her, "For once Alice give me the option of choosing my own future, trust me" she pleaded.

Bella, Carlisle and Alice arrived in Italy some several hours later; it had been a surprising unanimous vote that she be allowed to become a vampire, with the exception of Rosalie.

Bella had then told Alice of her plan, in Italy she would be changed and then as soon as possible they would find Edward and bring him home, Bella had no illusions of how long it would take before she was able to control her new-born vampire state, Alice had told her the possibility could be months but that in the vision Bella's eyes had been blood red but her clothes the same as were Edward's.

She never told Bella the full extent of her vision, of Bella confronting Edward in front of the Volturi, only that she had been the one to change Bella. She had a feeling Bella would be ok in her new born body, as if she wasn't taken by the dangers of a new vampire, but in control somehow.

They found a lavish hotel just inside Italy near the Volturi's vicinity, Bella saw the large suite and was amazingly unsurprised that the Cullen's could afford this. She splashed her face with water as she freshened up in the bathroom, when she finally emerged she saw Alice with a look of worry on her face while she sat on the large four poster bed, Carlisle stood next to it.

"You know it will hurt" Alice cautioned, Bella sat down next to her unafraid, "I know but the only thing I'm worried about is you" Bella confided.

"That's why she'll be stepping out while I change you" Carlisle said calmly taking Bella's hand and leading her to the bed, Alice gave Bella one last hug before making her exit.

As Bella laid down on the comfortable bed she sighed, "I had always hoped Edward would be the one to change me, not because I wanted to make it harder on him, I just knew if it was him that did it I would know that he truly wanted me to be with him" she told her future father-in-law.

"He does" Carlisle said as he leaned over her, "Close your eyes" he instructed, she obeyed and took a deep calming breathe, "Now think of something else" he told her.

Bella let her lips curve up into a smile, "How about punching Edward?" she half joked. Carlisle gave her a soft laugh, "I'll have to cover your mouth so the hotel don't hear you cry out" he told her then did exactly so. She closed her eyes tightly and within seconds of anticipation and wonder she felt a sharp agonizing pain that made her scream under his stifling hand, and as tears filled her eyes she thought of her life, her family, Jacob, and Edward before finally passing off into the darkness of the undead.
