How should I do it? Ring the door bell? Knock on the door?

"No…"

I mumbled to myself as I paced the tree line just behind Bella Swan's home. Bella Swan. Beautiful. Captivating. Modest. I wanted to touch her, kiss her, make her smile.

I wanted something else as well.

I wanted the blood coursing hot through her veins just beneath her porcelain skin. I wanted to taste her life essence more than anything. I wanted to see the look of fear cross her face as I sank my teeth into the soft, warm flesh of her neck, hear her scream, cry, beg for her life.

I craved her blood, body and secrets. I wanted her just for me. I wanted to make her mine. I wanted to pin her down and make her scream in ecstasy. Give her the world.

I Paused in my pace when I heard her roll over restlessly then sigh. Was that my name she murmured?

"Edward…"

She sighed again before turning over again. Excitement coursed through me as I climbed the tree nearest her window. Did she have feelings for me? Did she love me? Was she entrapped by me like I was by her?

I watched her sleep from my perch imagining stroking that soft skin of hers, touching her warm body, feeling her pressed against me. Just thinking about it made me shutter in pleasure.

"Edward."

She spoke so clearly I thought she had been awakened. I sat waiting until she sighed almost forlornly then turned over. I longed for her. I needed her. I wanted to see her smile, tell me all of her secrets, love me like I loved her.

My imagination took me on the road of killing her. The monster inside me watched her as she slept, pounced her, covered her mouth as she screamed. It gave it pleasure to hear that single scream of pain, made the monster pull her shivering body close with the undeniable lust that controlled him; No, he would not go any farther than that. Killing her would be just enough to get the release he so desired.

That would never happen. She whimpered in her sleep freezing me with the sudden pang of desire that rocked my body. I would make her mine. I made the vow as I slid down from the tree and ran into the impending darkness.
