My eyes snapped open, and for a moment my vision was hazy. Then my eyes cleared and I looked up to see Edward leaning over me, his face full of anguish. My body had been numb, but now it started working again, and in less than a minute I had regained control of myself and was aware of where I was.

I was in a plain white room, lying on a bed with a green and white quilt. There were all kinds of monitors beeping next to the bed, and there were green curtains over the windows. The one thing I was fully aware of was that there were tubes coming out of my body.

There was something in my mouth and I struggled to breathe, panicking. But then the tubes in my mouth were gone and I sucked in a huge breath, taking in large amounts of oxygen.

I realised it was dark, but I could see the room clearly as though it was day. Then the tubes were whisked out of me and I was in Edwards’s arms, and he was running, the wind rushing past. When he finally slowed, I saw that we were at his house. The large white mansion loomed up and once inside, Edward took me to Carlisle’s room, putting me down gently on the bed.

“Bella, love, can you hear me?” Edward asked. His voice was low, and there was some emotion thrumming underneath the words.

“What happened?” I sat up slowly and Edward came to sit next to me, holding me against his side as though he would never let go.

A second later, Carlisle came through the door and crossed over to me, taking hold of my hands.

“Bella! You shouldn’t be sitting up this soon.” He exclaimed, worry lurking in his eyes. He switched on the light so I could see and the brightness caught his skin, reflecting off and throwing diamond pinpricks onto the wall.

I looked at the wall, noticing that there were 3 identical diamond shadows illuminated on the wall. Surprised, I glanced down at my hand and saw the pale alabaster skin, the light making it shine and reflect around the room.

I leapt off the bed, gasping as I ran my hands over my face, trying to remember what had happened. I remembered everything that had happened before the change; the wedding, Jacob, Victoria, the Volturi… I spun around and looked at Edward, who was sitting on the bed a tense expression on his face, to Carlisle, standing by the bed, looking blank.
