Blood Red Moon
Pain.
So much pain.
It burned! Why did it have to burn!?
It was the venom, wasn't it? The venom was what burned, what made me feel as if I had caught fire. It was spreading throughout my body. It burned so much. I could no longer remember the name of the vampire that bit me. Was it... James? That sounded right...
I could hear their voices somehow, through the pain. Something about Edward needing to suck out the venom, something about how he needed to do it now or it would be too late. As much as I wanted the terrible burning to stop, I also wanted to live with Edward for an eternity. I could be a vampire with him and the other Cullens, I could adapt to a new life. Sure, I'd miss my mom and Charlie, but I could adapt.
The burning was closer to my heart now. How long had it been since the burning had started? I no longer knew.
Hadn't I felt cool lips against my wrist at some point?
I knew I'd been screaming. My throat burned too. I knew that there were probably two reasons for that.
Then, the terrible burning stopped.
My eyes fluttered open.
