~Esme's POV~

I wrap my arms around my mid section and hug them there for a second. I have no where to go now that everything's happened. I don't have a husband now but I also don't have a house. I guess I'm walking down the road now in the rain of spring. I think of everything that I remember from my life. There were those 7 names that I can't seem to place in my life. If I were to have another child, and it was a girl, then I would name her Isabella. Carlisle though is another good name too. I stopped in my tracks when I heard a twig snap in the forest. I turned to see a man in his early 20's step out. He had honey blonde hair, perfect features, but when he looked up his eyes were red. My breathing hitched a little but I wasn't scared.

"Esme?"

"How do you know my name?"

"I'm Carlisle." I gasped and ran to hug him. He found me. Before I could get to him he disappeared.

"Can you maybe not do that, I was recently changed and my bloodlust isn't that great." I nodded my head in understanding. I slowly approached him and touched his face to make sure I wasn't dreaming. His skin was smooth as silk; he was real. Carlisle leaned into my touch and smiled.

"I don't know how but I missed you, so much." I smiled but it faded when I felt violently sick. I think Carlisle could tell and he automatically pulled back my hair and I threw up next to where we were. I could feel something moving around in my stomach but it wouldn't come out. I was dry heaving when I was done.

"Maybe we should go somewhere more private." I just nodded.

It had been almost two days and we were at a mansion waiting on someone Carlisle said he knew. I was wearing a plain looking gown that was an emerald green with jewels adorning my neck and waist. Carlisle was looking like a King with his dashing good looks. We were waiting in the sitting room, playing chess, when a young woman that had brown hair and amber colored eyes. The other woman had black hair that stuck out in all different directions. Both had on fancy gowns but they were slim looking ones that weren't really puffy.

"I see you've found Alice."

"And you've found Esme. Well all who's left now are Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward."

"Don't forget about Tiffany." The woman just nodded her head.

"Where are my manners, Esme my name is Isabella; Bella for short. This here is Alice and you already know who this guy is." Isabella came forward and shook my hand but didn't let go.

"She hasn't been changed?" She turned to look at Alice who was looking at me hungrily.

"Sebastian, take her to the gardens until I come out." A servant came into the room and asked for my hand. Bella let go and I was whisked to the gardens. Do the servants know they're vampires? I decided against asking in case they didn't know. I found some roses that looked simply divine. I picked one up but didn't realize they had thorns.

"Ow!" I brought my hand up to see blood pouring from an open wound in the middle of my hand. Sebastian came by my side with alcohol and bandages. He cleaned the wound up and wrapped it tight.

"You should be more careful, Esme." I jumped when I heard her voice. I looked behind me to see her looking intently at my hand. She took my arm and led me to an upstairs bedroom.

"Lay down, this will be painful-"

"Where's Carlisle?" She looked at me shocked but left and was back with Carlisle in tow.

"I'm guessing you want him to change you?" I shyly nodded my head. Carlisle came close to me and breathed on my neck, making me shiver. Bella cleared her throat and Carlisle bit down on my neck. I only felt fire going through my veins and screamed. It was painful.

"Come on Carlisle. She'll be fine."

"I'm staying." Carlisle. He would endure my screams?

"Well, that's your decision." The door closed and I felt him hold my hand.

"I know it's painful but it'll be worth it." He then kept telling me all the experiences that I'll have and talked about the vampire laws and the Volturi. They sounded so cruel. They only care about vampires that have powers and will stop at nothing to get them. Even if that means destroying their coven.


More time passed and I could feel the fire get hotter than it already was. I could hear everything around me, I could feel the sun on my skin, I could sense another presence in the room; four presences actually. Everything was quiet. No one dared breath, no one moved. I slowly opened my eyes and saw every dust particle going through the air and germs that were on the ceiling. I sat up and saw Bella, Carlisle, Alice, and a man in chains on the floor. Bella jerked on the chain and he gasped out and looked at me. He must've looked like he saw a goddess. I guess I was the goddess. I stood up and started strolling over towards him.

"He's all yours." Bella said then threw me the chains. I caught them easily and brought him up off the floor. He looked scared when I reached him and tried struggling. I yanked on the chain and he stopped. I must have broke his neck because he wasn't looking straight. Oh well. I brought my mouth to his neck and started drinking his blood. I stopped when I couldn't taste anymore blood. He slumped down to the floor and Sebastian took the body down to the basement to burn it.

"Are you all better?" I closed my eyes and opened them again and nodded. I felt like I was in a trance doing that. I decided to ask later.

"Now, let's go see how Emmett is doing."

"Emmett?"

"Yes, I found him mutilated by a bear and was about to be finished off. I brought him back and changed him. We all need to move though. I'm not risking anything by leaving you all here. Sebastian!" Bella yelled.

"Yes my lady?"

"Bring up another criminal." He left without another word. We followed her to another room where a young man was lying on the bed. I could hear his heart speed up and stop. Sebastian then came in with the criminal and handed him to Bella. He motioned him out and he shut the door on his way. Emmett sprang from the bed and growled in the corner at us. Bella threw the criminal in between us and he started intently at the criminal. He stalked towards him and shot out and broke his neck. He started drinking the criminal's blood and held onto him tightly. I could smell the blood was gone so he threw the, now dead, criminal away. Bella grabbed the dead body and went to find Sebastian.
