She was all I wanted in this world and the next.
An intoxicating spell she was to my weak and blind existence.
As I walk away from her, I can already feel my heart being ripped away from my body.
And I knew that without her,
My soul was forgotten in both Heaven and Hell.

I was running.
I was running so fast in the night, gliding past the trees and the shrubs. It took me half a second to realize what I was doing. While my feet skimmed over the ground, my poise was crouched and I wasn't using my eyes to see what I was doing. I was using my sense of smell and my thirst was building so rapidly in my throat. I was hunting.
I came upon a clearing and I could distinctively hear the pounding of a wet, thumping heart. I finally used my eyes to catch what surrounded me. A spectacular waterfall coming from what seemed like the heavens and around it was a lonesome river being disturbed by foreign movement in the water. I found what my teeth were searching for.
The constant shower from the brilliant waterfall disorientated my concentration. I couldn't quite see what made that delectable heart pound so deliciously in the scenery. Afraid of being spotted, I crept lower to the ground towards my prey. I was so close. I could feel the quick sprays from the waterfall and hear the even breathing of what my teeth were grinding for. The beat of its heart was now ringing in my ears and it was all I could comprehend. I couldn't wait for the taste of its luscious blood to fill into my mouth and it felt like my thirst was about to screech from the adrenaline.
As I lunged for my kill in mid-air, the waterfall's mist became translucent and stood in the range of fire, was my Jacob Black.

I woke up with a jolt and sweat was already brewing down my face. I could feel my own heart pacing and I couldn't stop heaving. This is was the fifth time this week and it was the same constant dream. Tonight was different though. The dreams included me hunting and stalking and at the end, it was always a human I craved after and then, I would wake. The humans were always random people I've seen in magazines and television, but the human was never Jacob Black.
Even if I was able to sneak up on Jacob's precise wolf instinct, I wouldn't be able to take him down. He still had about 6 years on me and although he had grown into his prime, the strength still outmatched me. I was only half vampire after all. This reality brought my rationalization back and my breath slowed to a calm. The dream still made me wonder why I dreamt it in the first place, not once but five times.
I noticed the light seeping in from the window and it landed on my skin which glowed vibrantly in my corner of darkness. I guess the dream would have to wait. It was time to start the day.
