[Jaelle McCloud]

okay this is really long. lol

The town of Hendersonville in North Carolina was a small town. Every one who crossed your path always passed with a smile or a warm greeting. Halloween was two weeks away; every house was decorated with pumpkins on their porches or windowsills. Halloween was the Caldwell sister’s favorite holiday. Candra, Mirela, and Jaelle always celebrated Halloween; their house was always the most decorative. Candra, the oldest of the three drove into town to her Wicca shop every morning at six a.m. Her shop-contained items like...spell books, homemade candles with the scents of lavender, sandalwood, and her favorite eucalyptus. Opening the window on the east side of the store, the sun shone through giving everything a magical shine. Candra placed her own home grown pumpkins on the stacks of hay stacked in the parking lot just outside of her shop.

Mirela awoke this morning with so much excitement. She grabbed her cloak and scurried down the stairs to her greenhouse. The sun was shining beautifully this morning and Mirela's concoction of plants were supposed to begin blooming. Mirela was a "plant freak" as her sister Jaelle would call her, but the truth was she just loved gardening and creating her own type of plants. Mirela was the "green thumb" in the family, anything that could be planted seemed to have a soul and would be able to speak to her.
‘
"Jaelle, Hurry or you'll be late!" She called from below.
Jaelle was the youngest of her sisters. She pulled the covers over her head, rolled over and went back to sleep. Mirela's footsteps could be heard coming up the wooden staircase. Jaelle shut her door with a flick of her hand and locked it. "Jaelle must we go through this every morning!" Mirela yelled banging on her sisters door. Finally she gave up with the banging and burst the lock off the door.”Rusvalya!”
"See what you made me do! It's going to be my head when Candra sees this. That’s the forth lock this week" She said stomping into the room. The covers were seized quickly from over Jaelle and tossed to the other side of the room.
“Now get up! You have to be at school in a half hour.” Mirela said whilst walking out the door back down the stairs. Jaelle moaned but followed orders. Jaelle was known as the adventurous, and care free type of girl; except in the mornings. Jaelle walked form her room across the hall and into the bathroom to take a shower. The hot water felt good on her cool skin. She poured out a handful of her favorite smelling shampoo and started to massage it through her hair. After her shower, Jaelle flew to her room. She tossed out clothes form her closet calling them names as they fell to the floor.” Silly, Ugly… Out of date!” She closed her closet doors and hurried over to her dresser. She pulled out a yellow shirt with sleeves that came to her elbows, and a pair of dark blue jeans with her brown foe fur boots. She quickly brushed out her hair pulled half of it up into a bun and let the rest of her curls fall across her shoulders.
Jaelle grabbed her bag and slid down the stair banister, she could feel it rocking under her weight so she hopped of and skipped three steps. She walked into the kitchen picked an apple from the tree just outside the window, grabbed her coat from the hook by the door and left for school. “Wannantoando” She whispered. Her body started to break into sparkling dust that caught with the wind. Soon her entire body was nothing but dust riding the wind.

Night before.
"Ahh" Jaelle yelled. The same dream again. It had been taunting her for the past week.
Her heart was pounding ferociously, sweat beds dripped down the side of her face.
The room was dark, and the air seemed to be so thick.
Jaelle slowly opened the window above her bed letting the cool breeze blow in. The moons glow was relaxing to look at, it gave her a set of comfort. She took a glance over at the clock. 3:30 in the morning.
Jaelle sighed.
This was the third time this week the nightmare as scared her awake.

The dream seemed so real. She was running through a dark forest, rain poring down.
Frightening screams could be heard. The she was on the floor unable to move, or cry out.
Then...nothing. She would always wake up at the same part.
"What does it mean?" She asked herself.
The wind outside started to blow wild, making her hair dance around her face.
Before closing the window she scanned the woods around her house looking for anything out of place.
Locking it shut, Jaelle laid back down bringing the covers over her head and falling back to sleep.

The pain was unbearable, I wasn't sure if I could open my eyes. I felt the pain run up my arms as everything else seemed to stop. My blood felt as if it were running fast when in face it wasn't running at all. I could hear my love in the background as the pain traveled through my body as though the poison of nations was inside of me. "Bella, wake up" I heard Edward's normally silky smooth voice now shaky call in my ear. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I was unable to move, the only reason I knew I was breathing, was because I wasn't yet dead, or was I?

A few days later, the pain was still there, but it wasn't the normal type of pain. It seemed to be a teasing burning. It was almost as if my body wanted me to feel pleasure in the transformation taking place inside of me, but I couldn't. All I knew was that what was going on inside of me should not have been there.

My breathing got slower until I realized I was not breathing at all, how could I not be breathing and be alvie. Is that possible, in any sense of the word is that possible. My body felt cold to me, and foreign as if I had not been inside my body long. I felt as a child learning to walk. Slowly I opened my eyes. Edward.... Carlise... they were there with me.

"Bella love" Edward approached me. I croached into a low postion and jumped into the corner before I knew waht was happening. I knew they wouldn't hurt me, then why was I behaving such a way. Everything was clearer. I could see the scars on them all, from various fights. I was brand new as it seemed. My limbs felt like I had never used them, nor had I just given birth to a half-breed child. I looked at my husband and approached him slowly. "The pain is over, I am new.... and I belong to you...."

(ooc: I had a really difficult time with this. Bella's transformation in Breaking Dawn was beautiful. I couldn't bring myself to change anything major. But there are a few minor details I wanted to change. Sorry. It turned out much longer than I intended.)

This is it. you can do this. Just keep your heart beating. I told myself.

Pain was coursing through my body. I could feel broken bones all over. It felt like I were being torn to peices. Actually, come to think of it, I almost was. My child was eating her way out of me. I shut my brain down. This was too much. I couldn't bear it anymore. So I went to my happy place. In my mind, I was with Edward on Isle Esme. We were swimming in the sea, both of us beautiful and strong, and glitterng in the sun. I looked up to the beach and saw a glorious figure on the sand, watching us play, and knew it was my daughter. We were a family.

A fresh wave of pain shot through me and shattered my illusion. This time it was my back. I felt my legs curl up in agony, though I hadn't told them to do so. Then the pain went away. Some part of my mind told me that it wasn't actually a good thing that the pain disappeared, but I didn't care. I went back to the beach with Edwawrd.

"Bella," the beautiful voice sounded tense, worried, "look at me."

"I am," I told him.

"No you're not, Bella, your eyes are closed." Now he sounded really worred.

For a second, I was confused, then I realized that the Edward I was looking at was not speaking. He was the Illusion of Edward I'd created for my Happy place. When I managed to drag my eyes open, his real face was even more beautiful than the one I'd created. I'm no artist.

"Bella, I have to do it now."

"No, Edward," I said, my voice was barely audible, "She's not out yet."

He opened his mouth to argue with me, but at that moment, something in the thoughts of our child distracted him. I saw his face go paler than I'd ever seen it. At the same time, I felt the flutterings inside me suddenly turn to violent thrashings. Somehow, I knew right away that my baby was suffocating.

"Help her, Edward!!" I screamed, "She can't breathe! Get her
ou--"

I heard a blood-curdling scream and realized it was mine. I felt my body thrashing as my baby fought for air. I lost consciousness for a moment, but when I opened my eyes again, Edward was still there. I couldn't see what he was doing, but decided not to try to lift my head and look.

Then, she was there. Her tiny body glistenning and wet, covered in blood. She seemed shocked, and oddly enough, releived to be free. Her eyes searched until they met mine. I reached out to her, and Edward placed her gently in my arms.

I didn't speak. I could tell that she knew me. We gazed at each other for a moment that lasted forever. Then her eyes glinted with a smile that seemed almost wicked, malicious. And she bit me....I was shocked. The pain of that tiny bite was far worse than anything I had endured thus far.

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't scream. Everything good in the world was being slowly taken away. Everything I had known and loved was gone. All that was left was pain. It seemed as though that one bite was multiplying all over me. I could no longer tell where the pain came from. It was everywhere. I longed to hear Edward's voice. I strained to open my eyes and view our child.

Finally, I gave up and focused on my memories. I removed myself from the pain, listening to the frantic, beating of my heart. It was growing weaker. I took it with me back to Isle Esme. Edward wasn't there this time. I sat alone on the beach, listenning to my heart. Every beat spoke to me, reassured me. In return, I encouraged it as best I could. I didn't use words. I sent emotion and energy into it. Time was irrelevant. I don't know how long I sat there, helping my heart beat. Suddenly the Island was alight with fire. The trees were burning, animals screaming frantically. The house was in flames. I ran down the sand away from the fire. The water wasn't there. It was all sand. There was no way to escape the fire. As I watched, it enveloped the island in flame. The shapes of the house, the trees, everything was gone. A great wall of fire pursued me. It grew longer and longer. I watched as two great arms of flame stretched out to either side and began to curve around me.

I couldn't run away. Fear held me motionless. I was helpless. The arms of fire grew until they circled around me and met behind me to form a complete circle. Smoke blisterred my lungs, my eyes watered, but the tears offered no relief. The flames engulfed me. I expected to die, but the burning dragged on. I could no longer see the flames, but I blindly felt them licking my arms, my legs. Every inch of my body must be blackened like charcoal.

The flames continue to rage. They were like a giant beast, ravaging my flesh. It consumed everything.

Just when I felt sure I would die, the heat began to decrease. I counted the seconds, guided by the beating of my heart, and followed the path of the fire as it retreated. My toes were the first to feel a releif, then my fingers. Slowly the fire was constricted. Pushed upwards along my limbs. Eventually, my legs from the knees down, and my arms at the elbows were freed from their firey prison. As the pain lessened, I become aware of sounds and smells around me. I didn't dare to open my eyes and lose what little self control I had. I knew that if I move at all, the scream of pain that I'd kept restrained all this time would be released.

I could hear voices close by. Edward and Carlisle are discussing some problem with Jacob. I listen closely, but they left the room before I could figure out what they were talking about. Edward returned sounding frustrated. I heard his footsteps cross the room and stop by my side. I could tell it was him because he had a distinctive, graceul gait. He stayed with me. A silent source of comfort. I was visited occasionally by the others. I could hear them when they went back to what they were doing. Rosalie was downstairs, snipping at Jacob, Esme was doing something in the library, Carlisle was bouncing between his study and my bedside. Emmet was watching some sports game. I couldn't hear Jasper.

The fire had reached my chest. It burned my lungs and my heart. The beating I had been relying on to keep my breathing calm and rhythmic was now beating furiuosly. Faster and faster. I felt all of the fire that had covered my body contained within my heart. I was sure it must be glowing through my chest with the flames as bright as the sun. The beating was so fast now, that it was skipping beats, tripping over the rhythm. The missed beats were getting more and more frequent. It occured to me that my life was ending. In a matter of minutes, I would no longer be human. I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to Charlie and Rene. I would be kept away from humans. For the next year or two, I would be a monster. The though filled me with fear. I was glad Jasper wasn't there to sense my emotions. I didn't want my family to know that their plan of sedating me to save me from the pain had only caused the pain to fill my head and become a nightmare. They didn't need to know that. The beats slowed. Finally becoming a dying creature, weakly giving its last efforts. The pain was nearly gone. I listenned to my heart as it died. Sentimentality overcame me and I said a silent goodbye to my human life, then turned my thoughts to the new life that awaited me.

All I needed to do was open my eyes and stand up. I was afraid that the pain would return when I did, and hesitated a moment.

"Carlisle," Edwards voice was full of panic, "Why isn't she waking up?"

"She'll open her eyes in 33 seconds. I wouldn't be surprised if she can hear us now." it was Alice's voice, full of confidence.

"Bella?" Edward sounded very close. I sensed him near me. Something warm and soft squeezed my hand. I was confused. Edward's hands were cold. So who was holding my hand?

I opened my eyes slowly. A million strange sights assaulted me in a fraction of a second. I took in every microscopic detail of the room. The grains of the wood on the walls, the brush marks on the painting hanging on the wall. the beams of light coming from the fixture overhead. The dust motes dancing in the air. I shifted my glance down to my hand. It was Edwards hand, gently clasping mine. But why was it so warm? Then I realized it wasn't warm. I was cold. He would always feel warm to me now. I noticed Emmet and Jasper standing in front of Carlisle, Rosalie and Alice. They crouched in a defensive posture. Everyone seemed wary of some threat. I jumped up and moved to assume the same posture, but found myself suddenly accross the room. I'd moved much farther than I'd meant to. It was fun. I grinned widely and turned to Edward, then remembered they were expecting an attack and turned to see what had them so tense.

The realization hit me suddenly. I was the threat. They were wary of me. I laughed and stood straight. I assumed a casual poster.

"You don't really think I'm a threat do you?"

*****

I entered Carlisle's study quietly. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Bella," he said warmly, "I need to ask you a question. Something tells me you wouldn't want Edward to hear the answer. So I've waited for an opportunity for us to talk privately."

I couldn't think of anything that I didn't want to tell Edward. "What do you want to know?" I asked, curious where he was going with this.

"I want to know what really happenned for the past those three days last week. I get the feeling it wasn't as pain-free as you said."

"Oh." I said. Yup. He's right. I don't want Edward to know this. If I could have blushed, I would have. I looked at my hands, "No, it wasn't."

"Tell me what you experienced," he said gently.

"I was on Esme's Island. It was on fire. The fire consumed everything. I couldn't run away..." I looked up and knew he understood, "I don't want Edward to know."

"I understand. You're right. It would bother him to know that he didn't save you from the pain, as he thought he did. It is better this way."

"I feel better now that you know. I felt like I was lying to my doctor."

He laughed and we left his study together, just as Edward returned with Renesme. I dashed down the stairs to meet them.

It was the searing pain that ripped through my heart. School was a lovesick desire only to be with Edward, though I wasn't sure what to say or do around him. His beauty was absolutely stunning, and it didn't help that he could read the people around me. Especially Charlie, which I feared most. Edward would be gone this weekend to hunt once more. I recall the days when I found out his true identity, for his well being he was a vampire. Something so uncalled for, something so mystical yet simple. It had come to me after some research and a little flirting with Jacob. Jacob had crossed my mind a few times, and all I wanted to do was push him aside and keep him in a drawer, locking him up and forgetting about the events we had together. Though, our friendship would never end. I knew this for sure.

The sun burst in through the screen of my window, casting a shadowy glow among my small domain. I arose from the bed, wiping at my eyes, trying to adjust to the new and bright morning as it floundered to existance. Today was a Friday, the last day I had with Edward for a couple days. I understood that he needed to feed. I ached to see him in action, yearned to be just like him, as if my heart had already crossed the bridge and made a transfer from humanity to vampire. I pushed that thought aside, knowing it would come one of these days. As some of the very human needs, I rushed into the bathroom, grabbing my bag of toiletries as I went, and got ready for school. I ripped the brush through my damp hair (noting that I just showered), brushed my teeth, and simply went with jeans and one of my favorite shirts. It would do. For a moment, I caught myself looking in the mirror, studying my features, trying to imagine what I would look like if I were a different species. If I'd have the same beauty as Rosalie or Alice, the intense gaze and stunning perfection.

Edward had arrived, and I found that Charlie was already off to work. Forks was a dangerous place now that I moved into town. It surprised me that none of these things happened to me in Phoenix, then again I didn't know a family of vampires. A coven as they called it. I raced down the stairs, my bag slung over my shoulder as I opened the door to see my true love awaiting my debut. His smile was breathtaking as he saw me. He pressed his lips to mine gently, and pulled away, my favorite smile on his lips. [black]"Good morning."[/black] He said. I could only smile. "Good morning." Whenever he entered my visual he certainly made my day, and much more.

The ride to school was same as always. It was amazing how Edward had gotten himself into all of my classes. He had the charm to do anything he wanted, and get away with it. I couldn't even imagine how boring school must be for him now. He seemed used to it, and didn't seem at all to mind it.

The classes whipped by and finally lunch came. I stepped through the line, getting my usual pizza and juice. I picked at my food, my fingers running along the stringy ends of the pizza while he gazed in my direction. "Do you really have to go?" I asked him, a begging tone echoing. He sighed. [black]"Yes, I do. Bella, you and I both know that it's not safe for me to be around you otherwise. I'll be back, and I promise you that."[/black] I believed him. I knew he would be back for me, but a part of me couldn't help but doubt that maybe I wasn't good enough for him. Why he decided to be with me was a mystery, and there wasn't a day it hasn't crossed my mind. I could see us together, having a future, just being by each other forever, and it seemed so romantic, but he would have to agree to spend it with me. I bit my lip nodding in response.

"Hey Bella!" Alice danced over. "Hey there Alice." I smiled up at the beautiful pixie like figure in front of me. She was standing just behind Edward, seeming as content as ever. "You ready to go Edward?" I knew this was where I'd have to say my goodbyes for awhile. I looked away, trying to hide my feelings. He must have sensed that I was hurting. He reached across the table and took my hand, and my eyes averted his gaze. [black]"Bella, I will be back."[/black] He promised before leaning across the table to catch my lips as I turned. Edward still had his boundries and made sure that it was just a soft touch. His cool lips felt so good, so familiar. I nodded again. "I know." With that, he let go of my hand, letting it drop to the table, as he walked away with Alice. I could have sworn there was sorrow in his eyes as he looked at me one last time, before he stepped through those doors.

........

The weekend seemed to go on forever. To occupy myself, I started off with homework after I got home. I knew I had a paper do on the facts of Shakespeare, and a Biology assignment that needed to be studied upon. Usually Edward would help me with this stuff, but he wasn't here. I was left to fend for myself. I stumbled but finally got the work aside. Other than that, I didn't really go out, just stayed home, cleaning the house, watching TV with Charlie on these special little nights. I had to come up with some story for Edward's small disappearance. Charlie believed it, only because he didn't know the real reason Edward was gone. I hated lying to Charlie, but it was only to protect my love's identity. I loved Edward, and I fell for him. I couldn't imagine how I'd take it if he ever left me. I didn't want to think about that, ever. Just the thought sent pangs of sorrow to my heart, leaving that pain coursing through my veins. I had to stop myself.

Sitting in the old couch, watching the flashing images pass by on the screen of the TV, I was completely lost in another world. In the act of reminisce. I missed Renee very much and Phil, now that I thought about it. But if I hadn't moved to Forks, known only to me as the place that was too green, I would never have met Edward and found happiness in my life. I thanked God that I had school tomorrow.

Early and bright in the morning, I was already up and nearly jumping with excitement as I woke up. I sang of praise. I was ready, and just as he was about to knock on the door, I beat him to it. I smiled brightly and pressed into his arms as I saw him. "I missed you." I held him tight, and the feel of his arms surrounding me and taking me in, told me that he had missed me too. [black]"Glad to see you're alive and well."[/black] He teased. I giggled. "Of course, silly. I made you a promise." I stretched up to touch my lips to his, and in response he leaned down.

Again the drive to school was always the same. Edward would babble on about something and I'd do my best to understand and respond to his words. My hands were cupped in my lap as he drove his silver Volvo, and I looked out the window. I felt very content and happy here, just sitting here beside him. It felt as if nothing could take me away from this. Ever. Before I knew it, he had reached across to take my warm hand in his cold one. I gave it a squeeze as I turned to smile at him, and he smiled back.

We drove up into the parking lot, he had pulled into his usual. We'd been together to long to even be news anymore. I liked that we had made it this far. It was different being with a vampire rather than a normal human being, because this was so different for us. Edward was still the same, careful, diligent and used more boundrie's than most, but only because he had to. I trusted him with my whole life, and I wanted to go so much farther, but then again, I didn't want to push him. It would be wrong to do so.

The whole school day passed quickly, an end to another day.

(Okay, that's me, regular RPing Bella, because I was seriously bored, and now this is me RPing in Breaking Dawn. So.. before and after human.)

The transformation. I knew it was happening, the blood coursing through my veins felt on fire. Just before I could feel Edward's sharp teeth tearing into my flesh, could hear Jacob screaming and everyone else's eyes on me. Something was terribly wrong. I knew I was dying, I didn't think I was going to make it. The baby.. inside of me. I felt it. I felt him. Little Edward Jacob. I wanted to comfort Edward and tell him I would be alright, but I couldn't. My mouth wouldn't say anything, just scream as the tearing flesh came about. My womb was ripping open. I had lost consciousness and faded into the black for awhile.

The last thing I remembered was being on fire, and that blaze had died. How long was I out? Was I still even alive? Did I still have a chance to live? How bad was I? I couldn't think straight, the questions in my mind had never seized, and I wanted answers more than I could say. I opened my eyes. Everything around me, was different. My senses were boosted. I could smell pine, flowers, and a mix of scents. Wet dog.. ugh. So, that's why Edward and Jacob always said I smelled horrible. It all made sense now. I was laying down in some type of bed, clean, and dressed. The ceiling had so many flaws it bothered me. My human eyes wouldn't have spotted it, so how did I spot it now? I sat up abruptly to see Edward right beside me.

"Edward?" My voice.. it sounded like a bell, beautiful and ringing. I could hardly believe it was me speaking. He looked up at me from his hands. [black]"Bella? Thank God you're alright."[/black] He took my hand, his grip firm. I wasn't at all affected by his touch. His skin was the same as mine. Much like mine was when I touched Charlie, and his cool touch wasn't there anymore. I couldn't feel it, I could only feel the numb pressure. I looked around, quite taken aback by the scenery. I now started to wonder how Edward had standed to look at me when I was human. "How... do I look?" I asked honestly. I knew I was vampire, I just didn't know what I looked like, it's not like I carried around a mirror. He smiled brightly, flashing his perfect teeth. [black]"Absolutely beautiful."[/black]

I got up from the bed, a little tipsy at first, but soon I kind of got used to the dancing movements and sways that conquered my body. Edward had led me over to a one of the long windows. I could see my reflection. The girl in front of me didn't look like me at all. I could hardly remember what I did look like when I was human. If I had a picture I could surely identify the differences. "That's... me?" In the reflection I could see Edward nod, his teeth gritted as he looked me over also. My hair seemed to have a beautiful wafting scent, and it didn't look dry like it was before. My eyes were a red color, my complexion was much more pale, and my beauty had taken over.

After taking it all in, Edward had explained to me what was going on with our baby, and for the first time I saw our baby girl. "Renesmee."We had called her. She was beautiful. By far the most beautiful thing my eyes had set on. I took Edwards hand, leaning into his side, feeling his touch, so assuring and gentle. I was so happy, I had gotten everything I wanted.
