I layed as still as I could, gripping the cold table beneath me, as the fire continued to burn the charred corpse that was my body. I didn't open my eyes, though I wanted to see the face of my beloved, the one who set me on fire, and the love of my extended life. After counting to a thousand thirty seven in my head, I started to listen to the conversations going on around me, all about me it seemed. How I was doing, how long it would take, what would my reaction be to my new look. I couldn't wait to see how much I'd changed, if I really had, or to see Edward with perfect vision. Of course my vision had always been imperfect, I'd be able to see everything with perfect clarity. I couldn't wait to see him though, to feel his skin, wondering if it was still so smooth to the touch. If it would be warmer, or the same, it would be interesting.
I felt something warm wrap around my hand, I could tell it was a hand, hoping it was Edwards. Picturing his perfect face and his crooked smile with his golden honey eyes.
That's when I felt it, the fire leaving my fingertips and toes, I could hear Brad Paisley's voice sounding in the distance. I new Edward didn't like country, so it must be coming from the free way. Wow, I could hear that far away, it was amazing. I could smell such amazing scents, some too amazing to describe. It was amazing. I heard the joyous whispers from below and five different sets of feet heading in my direction.
The fire slowly receeded from my limbs toward the center of my body, where my heart started beating more frantically than before. So much to the point that it made my chest ache. I felt the fire squeeze my heart, causing excrutiating pain. Until the fire faded and my heart beat it's last note. Finally, I was free of pain, except there was a burn that rivaled the fire in my throat, I was terribly thirsty.
I opened my eyes, watching tiny dust motes winding through the air, and seeing all the colors coming from the light above me. I sat up, almost instantly, smiling to myself. I turned my face towards the most exquisite of all the smells, smiling wider at Edward.
I wanted to embrace him and kiss him all over, but I didn't want to embarras myself or him, so I just hugged him and kissed him full on the lips.
