The transition from human to vampire is said to be very painful, in fact it’s so bad that "The pain of transformation is the sharpest memory they have of their human life."(TW20). When James bites Bella in TW23, we witness this clearly. She compares the sensation in her hand to "fire", and words such as "screamed", "writhed" and "torture" enhance the agony that Bella endures even at the very beginning of the transformation process. As Stephenie Meyer points out, this is at the beginning of the conversion, "Painful enough, but not as bad as if she had several bites." (PC8)
Edward speaks in awe of Carlisle’s transformation, explaining, "It’s a miracle he was able to keep silent, to stay undiscovered," (TW15) due to the agonies he would have endured. Carlisle’s conversion would have been particularly painful because "his bites were not deliberate or well placed," (PC8), therefore it took a little more than three days to become a vampire. The pain is so bad that for "every minute" of the transformation, "a victim would be wishing for death." (TW20)
Alice is unusual in that she cannot remember her transformation at all. "She didn’t even seem to notice the pain, poor little creature. She’d been stuck in that black hole of a cell for so long." (TW22)
The transformation process is simple, assuming the vampire doesn’t drain the human body of blood. A human is bitten, and the venom is allowed to spread for a few days. The actual length of time a transformation takes is dependent upon "how much venom is in the bloodstream, how close the venom enters to the heart." (TW20). The venom is pumped around the body as the heart keeps beating, and various physical changes occur as the poison moves. One of the changed that happens is the body’s "healing" (TW20) from the injuries that may have occurred to it, such as Emmett’s mauling by the bear.
"The greatest pain begins when the venom is all the way through the body, through the heart, and it starts meeting itself in the veins again and then burning them dry. It moves slower than blood because it’s thicker. Each beat of the heart can only push it so far. The changing/burning process is slow. The venom has to leak through to every cell before it ends." (PC8). The final stage in conversion happens when "the heart stops"(TW20), at which point the human becomes a vampire.

Danie turned into a blob of apple sauce, then shape-shifted back into a human. "There" She said.
"Hey Erin! So I see you got my text."
"Yeah! Congrats! You have to tell me all about this Parick."
"No, you tell me about you being part of the Volturi."
"How did you know?"
"Well me being a vamp and everything, I get one power which is shape-shifting."
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Oh nothing I just needed to tell you."
"Ok, how did you find out?"
"Your friend Alice told me."
"Oh,ok. Yeah, so you know my dad is Aro and my little sister is Jane."
"I didn't even know that!" Alice said."Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wasn't ready to yet."
"Erin, you are my best friend; I tell you everything, you should tell me the same."
"Ok,sorry."
"It's fine. Now come on, let's go shopping for your friend's big day."
"Ok, let's go."
Two hours later, Alice, Erin, and Danie were still roaming around when they found the "perfect dress".

ok, i know she loves both but its probably ovious who she loves more, but im not sure is it edward or jacob.
i think that if she chooses edward like she did in eclipse, there will be pain for not being with jake, but she already went through not being with edward and it almost killed her, and at the end of elcipse she had pain but it wasnt as bad. like she said when edward asked her,
" are you sure you made the right choice, i have never seen you in so much pain"
and she says "I have known worse pain"
does that mean, the worse pain was when edward left her
does anyone get what im trying to ask, if not ill try to explain better
