This was the beat Edward Cullen listened to as he drained the young doe of her life. When he could hear her heart beat no more, he laid her down under some brush and stood up. Edward Cullen was six-foot tall, pale skin, auburn-cooper hair, and now had golden topaz eyes. He wiped the edges of his mouth with her fingers as he scanned the following area.
Edward knew where he was, roughly five miles away from his house in the meadow; one of his favorite things about Forks, Washington. Edward and his family moved to Forks just three years ago; however, him and his siblings would start high school as sophomores this year. The Cullen family was different then any other family in Forks. The Cullen's were vampires, only they did not feed on humans, they fed on animals.
When Carlisle was turned back in the 1600s, he vowed never to drain a human of their precious life and made sure anyone that he turned, would do the same. As Carlisle turned Edward, Esme and Rosalie, he swore that if he ever caught or seen any of them drink a human, their life would end. This took back everyone when Carlisle told him or her this, because he was a caring, loving person and never wanted to hurt anyone; only save them.
Edward walked out into the middle of the meadow, sat down, and watched the lilacs sway in the cooling breeze. Edward believed he was safe here, no human ever came within two miles of this place and if they did he would be able to hear their thoughts within the two miles. While he looked up at the sky, he laid back, watching the clouds pass and listened to animals ruffle the leaves in the forest.
A twig snapped and Edward froze. He took a deep breath and froze even more; he smelled the sweetest human scent in his life. She smelled like fresh flowers mixed with blood and this sent Edward's nerves haywire. He listened to the girl, her soft breathing, and blood pulsing as she pushed leaves aside and stepped out onto the soft grass of the meadow.
Edward held his breath because the girls' scent was getting strong and strong, he needed to control himself but it was so hard, he never smelt anyone so sweet before. Edward slowly rose, peeking over the tall grass to watch the girl. She had her back to him, but was walking backwards to him. The beauty of the meadow captivated her and she loved it.
Edward stood up straighter and felt the monster within him stir. No not her. She is too young. Edward thought to the monster within, but the monster did not care. Edward's whole body began to tingle; the monster was making an appearance. Venom welled in Edward's mouth at each step the girl took towards him. His vision became tinted with red and he focused on the pulse in the girls' neck. Edward stepped forward and the girl froze. She put both her hands up, back still to Edward.
"I did not know you were here. Please do not hurt me, I will leave." The girl spoke, voice firm.
"You will not be going anywhere." The monster responded. It was not Edward's voice that fell out of his mouth; it was darker and rougher than his.
"Please, I do not want to hurt you." She said. Edward could smell the tears falling down her face.
"You will not be hurting me today." The monster replied, baring Edward's teeth.
She is just a girl; she has a family, love, and friends. She cannot die. No. Edward thought to the monster. The monster responded with a dark laughter.
Edward took step closer, teeth bared and he froze. Edward tried to move but he could not. His arms were frozen in the air, reaching out to grab her and his foot still in mid air, waiting to finish the step.
Edward felt pain surge through his body, pulsing, and stinging with each pulse. Edward cried out in pain. In the distance he heard people scream his name, his family. Edward fell to his knees; the pain was so bad it seemed to rip him apart, even though it was not.
The girl slowly turned around; mahogany colored hair blowing in the breeze, her black eyes boring into Edwards. He tried to look away but his eyes were locked onto hers, like a magnet.
"I told you, I did not want to hurt you." She whispered to Edward. Tears began to run down her cheeks; the tears were stained red. "I cannot control what I am, I try, but I cannot. I am so lost," She gasped, as Edward's scream became louder, his body becoming crushed from the pain.
Edward felt the presence of his family behind him and he could hear Esme scream at the girl to let him go. The girl looked up from Edward, their gaze broken by Emmett throwing something at her. The girl dodged out of the way of the trunk that Emmett threw.
Edward fell to the ground with a thud, the world around him blurring. Edward became worried, this never happened to a vampire before. Vampires were hard as stone; no human being could hurt a vampire. Edward felt Carlisle's hands on his face, checking to make sure everything was in place.
The girl screamed an ear-piercing scream; Edward moved his head slowly towards her. Emmett was held in the same position as Edward was; Rosalie screamed. The girl's eyes were no longer black; they became a soft brown filled with tears.
The girl turned her attention to Edward, I am so sorry; I did not mean to hurt you or your family. I am so lost. This was the girls' thought that ran through Edward's head. This was the first time he was able to hear her when she came into the meadow. Edward held her gaze as her eyes fluttered. She fainted. However, the girl did not hit the ground, she vanished in the air before she could hit the ground.
Emmett crumpled to the ground as Rosalie lunged to grab the girl, but she was gone. Edward turned his face to the sky and closed his eye. The girls' words, I am so lost, played through his head. Edward could feel the darkness descend on him and he welcomed it with opening arms; hoping it would take the pain away.
