I could feel his teeth sink deep into my arm. The scream ripped through me. I felt the venom flow into me.

As he fed from me, I thought back to a time not so long ago, a time when I was happy. I saw our meadow. Edward sparkling, so beautifully in the sunlight. And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.

So sudden that it jerked me from my memories, he stopped feeding.

"no, they are supposed to be gone."

He stood and left me lying alone in the floor of the empty house. I felt the burning pain sear through my arm. I reached up into the dark, trying to find my angel. But I knew he wasn't there.

"help me Edward. Make it stop. Please you did it before. Please help me. Make it stop."

I realized I wasn't alone. But it wasn't my attacker. It wasn't my angel either.

A kind face looked down at me. She was beautiful. Even through the blinding pain, I knew what she was. Maybe she would stop this. I had no reason to live forever. Edward didn't want me. All I wished for now was death. Death is easy, peaceful. Life was hard.

"shh dear. It will stop soon. I will take you to my home. It will be ok. I will watch over you. I promise I won't let anything hurt you again"
