A new story! Fun. But, I hope you enjoy it. Here's hoping it turns out well! Sharky was here.
I stared at the silver moon as she rose against the darkening sky, casting beams of light onto the land, throwing the landscape into a weird, underwater glow. Everything seemed to shiver in the growing light, but I still didn't move. I lain against the forest floor, watching the full moon as it soared higher and higher in the sky through the tall trees. The light placed an elegant lattice against the ground as it wove through the ancient branches.
I listened intently for the sound of footsteps. I listened frantically for the sound of pursuit. But no footfalls came. Only the sound of my breath coming and going sounded in my ears. I scrambled to my feet and lurched forward, trying desperately to get away. The sound of my breathing grew heavy and labored as I surged through the forest, narrowly avoiding trees and fallen logs.
"Edward, save me," I huffed quietly as I raced ahead. But he was out of town, hunting. And no one could help me now. I was truly helpless this time. I wouldn't be able to fight them off, no matter how doggedly I fought. It was an impossible mission, and a stupid one at that. And if only I hadn't hurt Jake so badly. I'd be safe in La Push, barely worrying about other vampires, especially these two.
There was hardly any wind whispering through the air, so I started when a tree branch rustled with movement. I froze and shrank into the shadows, wishing fiercely that it was just an animal. But wishes don't always come true.
He stood in the center of the clearing I had stupidly stumbled upon, his ruby eyes flaring. His snowy skin glimmered faintly in the moonlight and his stature was feral and vicious. I didn't breathe, hoping that my heartbeat was hardly audible. He moved his head, searching for me, but couldn't see me. The pale film covering his eyes seemed phosphorescent in the limited light, and seemed to shield his unnaturally sharp vision. He didn't see me and turned away, walking in the other direction. I let out my breath in a small whoosh. He heard the noise and snapped his head in my direction. He seemed to move forward as a blur, and before I could blink, he was standing just before me, growling.
"I finally found you," he snarled, lunging forward.
