Her frozen heart (REWRITING)

chapter 16

Bella's POV:

I can hear everything.
And all I can smell is soil, that and a lemongrass and honey scent.
I can hear and smell perfectly but I can't get up. It's dark but I can still see the furnished wood above me and the cushioned silk bottom.
It hasn't taken me long to know that I am in fact buried.
And that Aro lied to me.
The burning feeling that made me pass out as soon as I kissed Edward has only just faded out and all that is left is a burning sensation in my throat.
I have come to the conclusion that I am a vampire.
And that my change has lasted much longer than the 3 days it should have...
This has only taken me about a minute to know this.
And now I'm brain rambling...

I give a quick kick to the top of my coffin and a load of soil spills on top of me so I brush it off and scrape my way out.
I really must look like a zombie because I'm climbing my way out of me grave.
I quickly tie my hair back up and brush off the remaining mud.
I decide to go for a hunt before I go back to see the cullens because I don't want to loose control.

After my hunt which appeared successful because I only had a smear of animal blood around my mouth and a slight rip in my dress.
I make my way back to the Cullen house.

I quickly look through the window.
Everybody is laughing with Tanya, even Edward. The same way they would've with me.
They are happier without me.
That's okay, all I wanted was for them to be happy.
I turn around and run, I don't want to intrude if they're better off without me.

Edward's Pov:
Today, Bella has been dead for 3 weeks. Carlisle decided to invite the Denali's over to lighten the mood.

A few hours later we are sat in the living room laughing with Tanya over what had happened to her sister Kate  when they played dares.
It was then that I smelt a vampire. One I had never smelt before.
I know everyone else smelt it because all at once we stand up and go outside.
I see a brunette in the distance and she's running away.
Carlisle nods his head at me and I start running after her.
It's impossible, she's faster than me.
Bella... was the only person I knew who was faster than me.
I run back defeated.
"There's no use. She's too fast." I say.

"I think we should track her"  I hear Rosalie.
"Good idea Rose." I say.
They give me questionable glances but tell me to continue.
"Let's track her."

With that we all split up.

Bella's pov:

I start running and I hear footsteps so I decide to go full speed. I eventually loose whoever was on my tail.
Before I know it I find myself in Italy.
It's night time so I don't need to hide.
I walk into the Voltori castle.
"Hey Bells" Jane squeals.
"Hey Jane! Can you take me to Aro please?"
"Only if I can get you changed first"
"Sure" I tell her as I get whisked away to her room.
Jane dresses me in red and black dress and she curls my hair.
She puts on matching red lipstick and heels.
It's then that she let's me look in the mirror for the first time.

Woah...
My hair is darker and my skin is flawless.
I look beautiful. And that is not something I often describe myself as.

Jane leads me to Aro, Marcus and Caius...
