"Thank you, Mr. Ediberg." I smirked as I took the roll of white papers showing me where my classes where. It was nice to see that the poor science teacher was totally entranced by my beauty. Why wouldn't he be? I was just like all vampires; totally pale, stunningly gorgeous, and super fast and strong. The one element that I didn't enjoy was the thirst, but I had it under control. 30 years of practice helped me in that department. I was no longer a newborn, though that hadn't been very hard. I simply swam and ran all the way to the deepest part of Canada that I could find. Hunting was quite good there, lots of bears and big mammals. The first day of immortality was the hardest. I remember it like it was yesterday.
"But sometimes I cheat." Laurent said, inching closer. He picked up a lock of my hair and sniffed it. His black and red eyes stared back at my wide ones. Today I think that I will. Victoria will be very mad at me for this. "
"Please, please don't." I said.
"BEG!"Screamed the voice inside of my head.
"Don't be afraid. You won't feel anything, really. I'll be very fast. You'll be happy with this option. If you know what she had planned for you…" He shuddered. "But of course I'll lie." He added. "To make her think I had hurt you."
I blinked, fighting back tears. " I love you, Edward." My chest seamed to rip at the thought of his name. Laurent smoothly glided forward, picked up my arm, and sunk his teeth in.
It was awful, the burning, and the pain. The wolves took care of Laurent right after he had took the bight, but I was stuck with the venom seeping into by system, burning me from the inside out. I didn't mind the pain, really. The whole time, I was so devastated that I had failed Edward. Now I can almost say his name normally.
I sighed, picked up my keys, and walked to my car. A white Lighting GT. When I was human, I never would have guessed I would be driving a sports car. I smiled as it beeped pleasantly, and open the door. Then I froze. Parked next to mine, as familiar as my own palm, was a silver Volvo.
