He started growling and circling around me like I was an animal. Somewhere in the back of my mind I wondered why he would bother corralling me when I am no threat that way. If I ran I would fall. If I ran he would catch me. No matter what action I thought of doing they all seemed to end with the obvious outcome of me as lunch. Maybe he just likes to play with his food, either way I knew what was about to happen. I knew it was going to hurt, bad. And I knew there was nothing that I could do about it. I was alone. No one would be able to protect me and this probably would have been avoidable had I not foolishly come here to his meadow.
I saw the red gradually getting darker and now was staring into cruel black eyes. He thinks that he is doing me a favor by ending me quickly so that Victoria can't do what she has been planning. But I can't find it in me to care at all anymore either way. Edward's gone. He left me. He doesn't want me. No matter who I have in my life it doesn't change that. This hole he left can't be fixed by anyone but Edward and I have had it with the numbness. Bring on the pain!
I close my eyes and spread my arms out in invitation which is accepted the very next second. I feel his sharp venom-coated teeth sink into my neck. I can't even bring myself to cry out. My hands clench into fists and I hold my breath. I find it odd that through all this pain the scent of my blood still makes me nauseous.
I hear a roar and then a sound very similar to two boulders slamming together. I know what that sound means. There is another vampire here and is fighting with Laurent. I peek through my eye lashes praying that it is who I dream it is, but once again my dreams seem to be wishful thinking. There in front of me is one of the fiercest things I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a few. Victoria is here and fighting Laurent. Laurent looks to be protecting me which I found odd until I realized that he is protecting his meal. Victoria looks enraged that he has done this against her wishes. Then there is more growling. So much that it almost sounds like thunder to me. It can't be coming from Victoria and Laurent. Even as mad as they both are, they can't make that much noise. I look to my right and there are these giant wolves. They are so big that at first they look like bears to me. The reddish-brown one looks at me from the corner of his eye and there is so much sadness that I have to force myself to look away. I don't know that my body can take much more sadness.
Victoria and Laurent are standing stock still seeing the pack of wolves standing next to me. Before I could even blink the two vampires turned heel and took off into the woods with the wolves in hot pursuit. I am left there alone. Now that I am alone and the threat is gone, I start to become more aware of the pain. I can understand now the unbearable pain that the Cullen's were talking about but to be perfectly honest, it does not faze me much. The pain in my chest from Edward leaving is still so much stronger that it is actually masking the pain of the venom spreading through my body. I sink down to the ground and lay back against the grass trying to remember the feeling of being here with Edward. When he still loved me. I found my mind transported to a dream world where he is still here and wanting me.
Time seemed to stand still while I dreamed. But the next thing I knew my heart was beating so fast that my chest lifted right off the ground. There was a stutter in the beat and then silence. Not a sound came from me but there were so many other sounds, sounds I didn't know were even possible to here. I opened my eyes and could see things that I never would have seen before. It has happened even without him here, I am a vampire...and I am alone.
