Chapter 1: Murder
I couldn't bear it any longer. The irresistible blood of Isabella Swan, my new lab partner. I had to have it! Only another 30 more minutes, then I would have the sweetest of all drinks.
"Ring..." Yes! At last! The monster in me rejoiced. I had formulated the perfect plan. I would pretend to walk the new girl, Bella, to her next class and then tell her that I had forgotten to my book in the car. Being the predictable human that she was, she would buy my lie and follow me to the car park. From there, I would run her to the forest and devour her delicious blood.
"Hello" I said in a voice I reserved for not scaring humans. She did not say anything but looked at me with those piercing chocolate brown eyes. I had to admit, she was very beautiful.
She had long mahogany of smooth chocolate brown hair that cascaded down to her waist like soft waves and was very pale. Her skin rivalled mine in the paleness. Wow! She was surely a goddess whose beautiful mind I could not read.
"I am Edward Cullen" I continued unfazed by her confused expression, "you must be Bella, right?" I smiled but did not show the rows of razor-sharp teeth. She simply nodded, her heart thudding frantically in her chest. She was probably afraid of me and her instincts were telling her to run away from me. The monster in me would not allow that to happen.
"Can I walk you to your next class, please?" I asked as politely as possible keeping the smile plastered on my face, "anyway, which is your next class?" "Sure you can walk me to the gym." she replied to both my questions. God, kill me now please. Her voice! It was so sweet like bells ringing.
I quickly recovered and flashed a smile, again being conscious about my teeth. I walked her towards the gym and luckily it was raining (not a surprise in forks) so we just looked like two big, oversized raincoats. Now, no one would notice that I was the last person with Bella Swan. It would help me remain inconspicuous.
"Hey Bella, would you mind following me to my car? I left my Spanish book there." "Yeah, sure. Let's go." Foolish little Bella. She did not know what got her, literally. As soon as everyone was out of sight, I quickly carried her and ran her to the woods before she could say anything.
"What are...you doing and...how in the world did we get here...so...so fast?" mu innocent victim asked breathlessly. I did not answer but covered the distance between us in a single stride. I did not answer but placed my cool fingers under her chin and lifted her gorgeous face up so that I could stare at those beautiful brown orbs that were her eyes.
"I am really sorry Bella." I said in an extremely persuasive tone that really showed how remorseful I was for ending her life. I gently brushed her hair back from shoulders and exposed her neck to my venom-coated teeth. I felt a jolt of electricity pass through me and the casual touch.
Before she had a chance to respond, I bit her neck and started to suck the warm liquid. It was delightful! No word in the world could describe how her blood tasted. I drank from her slowly, to enjoy the taste, to savour every drop.
