"You were merely wishing for the end of pain

the monster said.

Your own pain.

An end to how it isolated you.

It is the most human wish of all."
.
The moment I woke up, laying in my sisters arms, feeling her tears on my face, I realized something was wrong. "Bella?" I questioned and she looked up at me, pulling me to her quickly and hugging the life out of me, when I caught her scent and hissed, pulling away and hitting the wall on the other side of the room.

"Holy shit!" She gasped, looking at me as if I had grown another head. "You have fangs!" She shouted and I lifted my hand to my mouth, feeling my teeth that were now very sharp.

"What the hell?" I questioned, looking in my bathroom mirror and seeing dark veins under my eyes. "How...how am I a traditional? I didn't drink any blood before I killed myself...how-"

"You Killed Yourself! You Asshole!" Bella shouted, beginning to hit me with everything she could reach. "How could you do that to me!? To Renee!? Did you even think-"

"Yes! I did! You wouldn't even look at me, you were so caught up in Edward Cullen, the vampire who abused you! Maybe not physically but he was controlling you and berated you when you didn't listen, he was mentally and emotionally abusive and you are pining over him like a lost puppy! You wouldn't let me help and you refused to acknowledge the fact that I lost someone I love as well! An entire family of someones, just like you, you left me alone to deal with my pain and shattered the only thing that gave me some semblance of peace." I pointed to my studio and the look on her face was heartbreaking.

"Hope...I'm so sorry sissy. I'm so sorry! You tried so hard to keep me from Edward and I wouldn't listen, none of this would have happened if I had just trusted you. I'm so sorry!" She sobbed, pulling me to her and crying into my neck. I held my breath for the next few moments, knowing she needed me and putting up with the burning in my throat until she calmed down. "We need to get you blood...fuck the Cullen's diet for now, we'll go to Port Angeles and you can drink from someone, finish the transition, okay? I can't go on without you, I need you here with me, please?" She begged and after a moment I nodded. She pulled me down the stairs and shouted to dad that we were going to see a movie together. His voice seemed to perk up at this as he yelled back that it was fine and I quickly put the window down in the truck as not to harm Bella in the confined space. "Have at it." She told me and I nodded, jumping out and taking off down the street. I came across a man attempting to rob an old women and quickly pulled him into an ally, sinking my newly found fangs into his neck. The taste was something I never would have imagined, it was amazing. I couldn't imagine ever denying myself this astounding taste and I knew at that moment that I never would. As I felt the man take his last breath a horrible pain exploded in my brain as I felt fangs begin growing from my bottom row of teeth as well. I pulled out my phone to see my face and noticed my eyes were now bright yellow, making me look very much like what Carlisle had described as a hybrid, apparently after the original hybrid disappeared the entire species was gone...this can't be possible...can it? How can I be a hybrid when I'm not a werewolf and I didn't drink any vampire blood, even if I did vampire blood doesn't change werewolves, it kills them...I quickly sprinted back to Bella's truck and showed her exactly what was going on, making her grin happily at me. "This is awesome and you know it. You're totally bad ass now! No one will ever mess with you again!" She was very excited as we began driving back home, stopping for McDonalds along the way. "Don't abandon me okay?" I looked up at her shocked. "I know you must be happy, excited that you get to begin eternity and all that but please? Don't leave me behind..."

"Never." I promised, swallowing my food. "After graduation, I'll turn you, find a witch and get you a daylight ring. You and I will travel the world together, a force to be reckoned with. We're sisters and we're going to start acting like it again! It wasn't completely your fault, I know we both grew apart when we got together with Jasper and Edward and for that I am sorry. No boy will ever come between us again, I promise. When we're both immortal we will find the Cullen's and destroy your idiot ex-lover...deal?" She nodded, grinning before biting into her food.

"Are we not killing Jasper as well?" I shook my head.

"In the long run he did what he thought was right and I can't fault him for that. He didn't lie to me and tell me he hated me to make me mad, he didn't take all my memories with him, he just gave me a normal breakup and I can't be too mad, let alone murder mad." She nodded, continuing to eat as we drove towards home.

"You know I still don't understand the whole 'turning off your humanity' thing, but I like this Hope very much." Bella told me as we hopped out of her truck and walked towards the school the next day. Jacob had decided he was done with Bella and I explained to her that it was because he was a shifter, I could practically smell it on him. I was currently wearing tight black skinny jeans and a halter top with a mesh shirt over it, combat boots and a leather jacket. I slung my messenger bag over my shoulder and walked towards the school with Bella, who I had dressed in red skinny jeans and a black tank top, with her signature hoodie over top. We spent the rest of the day as the talk of the school, still sitting at the Cullen's table but now eating and talking to each other until a boy walked over, sitting beside me. I could tell he was going to start flirting so I reached into my bag and pulled out a pair of scissors, grabbing his pony tail and slicing it off, handing it to him.

"Here you go. You no longer confuse me with your she-male looks." I stated, putting the scissors away and watching the boy walk away, horrified.

"I'll say it again, loving this Hope."

"I don't know if I like it. I mean when I think about it, I would still defend you if not just because I know you're my sister and I should, but I also feel that if you got hurt, I wouldn't care all that much. That sounds bad doesn't it?" She nodded.

"But I can deal with it, knowing you won't let anything happen." She shrugged and I nodded. "What do you say we leave early? Go to Port Angeles, you can get some blood and we can see a movie." I was stunned at this proposition and couldn't help the grin that overtook my face.

"I've corrupted you Bella, I should be ashamed, but I'm too proud to be ashamed." We stood, walking out the side door and out to her truck, taking the rest of the day off.

Another month has passed and Bella and I were closer than ever, even without my humanity. Bella confronted Jacob. That didn't go well. She now knows for certain they're shape shifters (who call themselves werewolves, or at least they used to until they met me) after she slapped Jacob and he phased, nearly killing her in the process. We all get along very well since they believe I don't kill humans and only drink from blood bags, and it will stay that way as I don't need them trying to run me out of town. I had helped them kill Laurant and was currently trying to chase down Victoria whenever she came around for my sister. We had been spending a lot of our extra time down on the Rez after rekindling an old friendship with Paul Lahote. When Bella had come down as a child they were very close, and the 3 summers I spent here we had grown close as well. It took him a while to get over the vampire thing but he had after realizing how protective he felt over me. He had let the vampire thing go if not just to make sure I was safe.

"Come on, it'll be fun." Bella proposed and I sighed, knowing I would give in. "Come on, don't let the mutts out do you!" She insisted and I nodded, agreeing to her proposal. We ended up at the cliffs after school on Friday and went cliff diving. I didn't need to breathe, however Bella did, and when she wasn't anymore I pulled her onto shore and began giving her CPR as Jake ran to us.

"She wanted to cliff dive, who was I to say no?"

"The Immortal Hybrid! You Know It's Dangerous!" I shrugged, helping her into the truck where she clung to Jacob for warmth. I was slightly colder than the average human so I knew I couldn't help with her issue. "There's a vampire, I'm getting you out of here."

"Wait, that's Carlisle's car! I have to go in!" She insisted and I sighed.

"How do you even know? They have 50 million cars!" I shouted, running towards the house with her and opening the door to see...ALICE!?
