Chapter 1: Distance

Alice's POV

I was flying down the highway knowing I was too late. Charlie was dead! I still couldn't get that vision out of my head. When I had called no one answered. I needed to check on Bella even if that dog stood in my way. I turned my head slightly and looked at Edward. His face was completely blank but his eyes were full of guilt. We finally arrived at her house. Edward was out of the car before me. The dog, Jacob, appeared out of no where. My noise burned with his scent. "What do you want?" Jacob snarled. Edward growled at him and stepped in between them. "We came to check on Bella."

We heard about…Charlie" I explained. "She's fine!" as he said this he gave a slight shudder. "Can we see her?" I asked carefully not wanting to start a fight. Not here not now. Jacob narrowed his eyes, "I don't think that's a good idea." "Please" I watched as his shoulders sagged and gave in. "She's not in the best condition." "We didn't expect her to be!" Edward hissed. Jacob threw him a cocky smile and opened the front door.

"Bella!" Edward yelled before we were even in the house. No one answered. Jacob's face grew worried and Edward saw this. Edward ran up the stairs and flew into her room. It was empty. "Where is she?" I asked as Edward flew all over the house. She wasn't there. "She should be here!" Jacob cried his eyes frantically darting all over the place. He took out his cell phone and called her.

Ring. We saw her phone light up on the coffee table in the living room. "What if..?" Jacob shook his head before finishing. "Victoria has her!" Edward said reading Jacob's thoughts. "You don't know that!" I cried not wanting to believe it. "What else could have happened?" Edward growled. I didn't want to believe it but suddenly a feeling of foreboding was over me and I was suddenly filled with doubt.

Bella's POV (Italy)

I was trying to calm my nerves as Heidi led me down the hall. It's what I want! I kept repeating this over and over in my head. Heidi opened the door and I walked into a study. Aro, Marcus, and Carius were waiting. Heidi nodded her head to them and shut the door. I began to shake uncontrollably. Aro's was the first to speak "Are you ready?" I nodded slowly beginning to relax. "Marcus will be the one to change you" I turned my head towards the black haired vampire.

He seemed like a zombie and I suddenly wished I could make him better. He held my gaze as he approached me. I closed my eyes and felt his cold marble hand brush my hair off my shoulder. I braced myself for the pain as I felt his false breath on my neck. Suddenly he sunk his teeth into my flesh. I began to drown in the pain. I screamed as he released me. I fell to the floor and began to shake uncontrollably.

Marcus knelled down by me. He watched me writher in pain as the venom raced threw my veins. "It will be over soon." Marcus soothed as I let out another bloodcurdling scream. I saw Edward's face in my mind before another seizure of pain coursed through my body. I screamed again and then nothing.
