Vampire Baseball, an American Pastime
By: Rachael Stark
Velvet voice
In my ear
Does it care
That I fear
Victoria and her friends
Coming to make amends?
Playing baseball
In a field
When they approach
He will yield
His pearl white teeth
So I'll be away
From these dangerous "people"
Everyday.
The crack of a bat
The whoosh of a player
Laurent tips his hat,
"Now what do we have here?"
They sense my fear
The Cullen's come running near
"You brought a snack,"
James breathes in,
His group is at lack
Their numbers only standing at three
Against us all
We are sure to go free.
A protective stance
A little dance
A fight is to come
I will run from
These crazy "people"
And my friends will come, too.
But if they don't, they have nothing to lose.
Emmett is pumped
Esme is scared
I am worried
But I know they are prepared.
Alice is fretting
Carlisle is pacing
Jasper and Rosalie are betting
And my heart is racing.
I've no need to worry
There is more of a risk for me
But he can see
The fear in my eyes
Edward tries to disguise his shame
"I'm sorry, Bella" he whispers my name.
"This is all my fault"
He is acting insane!
My eyes double in size
There are menacing vampires
With their crimson lined eyes
James, trying to disguise his thirst,
Advances first.
I shudder and hide behind Edward.
"I'm sorry," his face is pained its worst.
Well, I'm not.
My cheeks are getting hot.
I'm going to blush
I feel the blood rush
My adrenaline is pumping
My heart is thumping
And he is standing close
The one I love the most.
That is all that matters
No matter what
But I can't help but feeling
This is the start of a new way
Of trying to survive living day to day
With my good vampires existing in my life
Like balancing at the point of a knife
But I have Edward.
I'll be okay.
I'll just stay away from non-vegetarian vampire friends
Trying, yes
Persistently trying
To settle the score
To end the lore
That is the life of Bella Swan
Yawn
Time go back home
Charlie's going to be alone
For longer than he knows
Because the differences will surely show.
I want to be a montster, too.
I want to be
Just
Like
You.
