I thought about the wild mood swings�察�the difficulty concentrating�察�and whispered�察 �I'm not sure about
that。;
He nodded seriously�察�and then his jeweled eyes glittered with interest。 ;It seems like we did something
right with the morphine this time。 Tell me�察�what do you remember of the transformation process�拭─�
I hesitated�察�intensely aware of Edward's breath brushing against my cheek�察�sending whispers of
electricity through my skin。

;Everything was。。。 very dim before。 I remember the baby couldn't breathe___;
I looked at Edward�察�momentarily frightened by the memory。
;Renesmee is healthy and well�察─�he promised�察�a gleam I'd never seen before in his eyes。 He said her
name with an understated fervor。 A reverence。 The way devout people talked about their gods。 ;What
do you remember after that�拭─�
I focused on my poker face。 I'd never been much of a liar。 ;It's hard to remember。 It was so dark
before。 And then。。。 I opened my eyes and I could see everything;
;Amazing�察─�Carlisle breathed�察�his eyes alight。
Chagrin washed through me�察�and I waited for the heat to burn in my cheeks and give me away。 And then
I remembered that I would never blush again。 Maybe that would protect Edward from the truth。
I'd have to find a way to tip off Carlisle�察�though。 Someday。 If he ever needed to create another vampire。
That possibility seemed very unlikely�察�which made me feel better about lying。
;I want you to think!to tell me everything you remember�察─�Carlisle pressed excitedly�察�and I couldn't
help the grimace that flashed across my face。 I didn't want to have to keep lying�察�because I might slip up。
And I didn't want to think about the burning。 Unlike the human memories�察�that part was perfectly clear
and I found I could remember it with far too much precision。
;Oh�察�I'm so sorry�察�Bella�察─�Carlisle apologized immediately。 ;Of course your thirst must be very
uncomfortable。 This conversation can wait。;
Until he'd mentioned it�察�the thirst actually wasn't unmanageable。 There was so much room in my head。 A
separate part of my brain was keeping tabs on the burn in my throat�察�almost like a reflex。 The way my old
brain had handled breathing and blinking。
But Carlisle's assumption brought the burn to the forefront of my mind。 Suddenly�察�the dry ache was all I
could think about�察�and the more I thought about it�察�the more it hurt。 My hand flew up to cup my throat�察�
like I could smother the flames from the outside。 The skin of my neck was strange beneath my fingers。 So
smooth it was somehow soft�察�though it was hard as stone�察�too。
Edward dropped his arms and took my other hand�察�tugging gently。 ;Let's hunt�察�Bella。;
My eyes opened wider and the pain of the thirst receded�察�shock taking its place。
Me�拭�Hunt�拭�With Edward�拭�But。。。 how�拭�I didn't know what to do。
He read the alarm in my expression and smiled encouragingly。 ;It's quite easy�察�love。 Instinctual。 Don't
worry�察�I'll show you。; When I didn't move�察�he grinned his crooked smile and raised his eyebrows。 ;I was
under the impression that you'd always wanted to see me hunt。;
I laughed in a short burst of humor ��part of me listened in wonder to the pealing bell sound�� as his words
reminded me of cloudy human conversations。 And then I took a whole second to run quickly through
those first days

with Edward!the true beginning of my life!in my head so that I would never forget them。 I did not
expect that it would be so uncomfortable to remember。 Like trying to squint through muddy water。 I
knew from Rosalie's experience that if I thought of my human memories enough�察�I would not lose them
over time。 I did not want to forget one minute I'd spent with Edward�察�even now�察�when eternity stretched
in front of us。 i would have to make sure those human memories were cemented into my infallible vampire
mind。
;Shall we�拭─�Edward asked。 He reached up to take the hand that was still at my neck。 His fingers
smoothed down the column of my throat。 ;I don't want you to be hurting�察─�he added in a low murmur。
Something I would not have been able to hear before。
Tm fine�察─�I said out of lingering human habit。 ;Wait。 First。;
There was so much。 I'd never gotten to my questions。 There were more important things than the ache。
It was Carlisle who spoke now。 ;Yes�拭─�
;I want to see her。 Renesmee。;
It was oddly difficult to say her name。 My daughter�察�these words were even harder to think。 It all
seemed so distant。 I tried to remember how I had felt three days ago�察�and automatically�察�my hands pulled
free of Edward's and dropped to my stomach。
Flat。 Empty。 I clutched at the pale silk that covered my skin�察�panicking again�察�while an insignificant part
of my mind noted that Alice must have dressed me。
I knew there was nothing left inside me�察�and I faintly remembered the bloody removal scene�察�but the
physical proof was still hard to process。 All I knew was loving my little nudger inside of me。 Outside of
me�察�she seemed like something I must have imagined。 A fading dream!a dream that was half nightmare。
While I wrestled with my confusion�察�I saw Edward and Carlisle exchange a guarded glance。
;What�拭─�I demanded。
;Bella�察─�Edward said soothingly。 ;That's not really a good idea。 She's half human�察�love。 Her heart beats�察�
and blood runs in her veins。 Until your thirst is positively under control。。。 You don't want to put her in
danger�察�do you�拭─�
I frowned。 Of course I must not want that。
Was I out of control�拭�Confused�察�yes。 Easily unfocused�察�yes。 But dangerous�拭�To her�拭�My daughter�拭�
I couldn't be positive that the answer was no。 So I would have to be patient。 That sounded difficult。
Because until I saw her again�察�she wouldn't be real。 Just a fading dream。。。 of a stranger。。。
;Where is she�拭─�I listened hard�察�and then I could hear the beating heart on the floor below me。 I could
hear more than one person breathing!quietly�察�like they were listening�察�too。 There was also a fluttering
sound�察�a thrumming�察�that I couldn't place___
And the sound of the heartbeat was so moist and appealing�察�that my mouth started watering。

So I would definitely have to learn how to hunt before I saw her。 My stranger baby。
;Is Rosalie with her�拭─�
;Yes�察─�Edward answered in a clipped tone�察�and I could see that something he'd thought of upset him。 I'd
thought
he and Rose were over their differences。 Had the animosity erupted again�拭�Before I could ask�察�he pulled
my hands away from my flat stomach�察�tugging gently again。
;Wait�察─�I protested again�察�trying to focus。 ;What about Jacob�拭�And Charlie�拭�Tell me everything that I
missed。 How long was I。。。 unconscious�拭─�
Edward didn't seem to notice my hesitation over the last word。 Instead�察�he was exchanging another wary
glance with Carlisle。
;What's wrong�拭─�I whispered。
;Nothing is wrong; Carlisle told me�察�emphasizing the last word in a strange way。 ;Nothing has changed
much�察�actually!you were only unaware for just over two days。 It was very fast�察�as these things go。
Edward did an excellent job。 Quite innovative!the venom injection straight to your heart was his idea。;
He paused to smile proudly at his son and then sighed。 ;Jacob is still here�察�and Charlie still believes that
you are sick。 He thinks you're in Atlanta right now�察�undergoing tests at the CDC。 We gave him a bad
number�察�and he's frustrated。 He's been speaking to Esme。;
;I should call him。。。�察─�I murmured to myself�察�but�察�listening to my own voice�察�I understood the new
difficulties。 He wouldn't recognize this voice。 It wouldn't reassure him。 And then the earlier surprise
intruded。 ;Hold on!Jacob is still here�拭─�
Another glance between them。
;Bella�察─�Edward said quickly。 ;There's much to discuss�察�but we should take care of you first。 You have
to be in pain___;
When he pointed that out�察�I remembered the burn in my throat and swallowed convulsively。 ;But Jacob
!;
;We have all the time in the world for explanations�察�love�察─�he reminded me gently。
Of course。 I could wait a little longer for the answer�察�it would be easier to listen when the fierce pain of
the fiery thirst was no longer scattering my concentration。 ;Okay。;
;Wait�察�wait�察�wait�察─�Alice trilled from the doorway。 She danced across the room�察�dreamily graceful。 As
with Edward and Carlisle�察�I felt some shock as I really looked at her face for the first time。 So lovely。
;You promised I could be there the first time� �What if you two run past something reflective�拭─�
;Alice!�察─�Edward protested。
;It will only take a second� ─�And with that�察�Alice darted from the room。
Edward sighed。

;What is she talking about�拭─�
But Alice was already back�察�carrying the huge�察�gilt´framed mirror from Rosalie's room�察�which was nearly
twice as tall as she was�察�and several times as wide。
Jasper had been so still and silent that I'd taken no notice of him since he'd followed behind Carlisle。
Now he moved again�察�to hover over Alice�察�his eyes locked on my expression。 Because I was the danger
here。
I knew he would be tasting the mood around me�察�too�察�and so he must have felt my jolt of shock as I
studied his face�察�looking at it closely for the first time。
Through my sightless human eyes�察�the scars left from his former life with the newborn armies in the South
had been mostly invisible。 Only with a bright light to throw their slightly raised shapes into definition could
I even make out their existence。
Now that I could see�察�the scars were Jasper's most dominant feature。 It was hard to take my eyes off his
ravaged neck and jaw!hard to believe that even a vampire could have survived so many sets of teeth
ripping into his throat。
Instinctively�察�I tensed to defend myself。 Any vampire who saw Jasper would have had the same reaction。
The scars were like a lighted billboard。 Dangerous�察�they screamed。 How many vampires had tried to
kill Jasper�拭�Hundreds�拭�Thousands�拭�The same number that had died in the attempt
Jasper both saw and felt my assessment�察�my caution�察�and he smiled wryly。
;Edward gave me grief for not getting you to a mirror before the wedding�察─�Alice said�察�pulling my
attention away from her frightening lover。 Tm not going to be chewed out again。;
;Chewed out�拭─�Edward asked skeptically�察�one eyebrow curving upward。
;Maybe I'm overstating things�察─�she murmured absently as she turned the mirror to face me。
