AND SHE FOLLOWED
The dark red of her blood was very visible under her skin as it pumped from her heart around her body. She was transfixed by my eyes as I lowered my lips to her neck. She let out a small cry of pain as I sunk my razor sharp venom coated teeth into the white skin of her neck.
Come, I had whispered to her. She had followed me blindly, as I knew she would. Instinct led me to the woods in back of the school. I had led her just far enough to stop her cries of pain from being heard.
The blood flowed into my mouth from the bite on her neck. Its taste was a thousand times better than anything I could ever imagine, better even than her sent. After surviving only on animal blood for over half a century, the taste of her blood was like the taste of the best brandy after stale beer. The girl, or as she asked everyone to call her, Bella, seemed strangely calm. After the small whimper that had escaped her lips once my teeth had come in contact with her body, no other sound had been formed. Her heartbeat slowed down as I continued to drink from her, my eyes turning from a dark gold to a bright red.
Edward, Alice's thoughts came into my mind as her vision ended, go, now. You must leave. You cannot destroy this family. We will be waiting for you to come back, but take your time.
I ran to the car as quickly as I could. No way would I let one foolish human destroy everything my father had built for us. I would not let my eyes turn red, as they had once before.
