Author's note: Gah! SO many ideas… Here's another one. Again with Edward. I'm starting to think I'm obsessed with him. Somehow I came up with this while I was watching Star Trek yesterday. The mind works in strange ways. Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.
Chapter One: Tal Vampryss
Edward's POV
I heard the sounds of their pursuit as I ran at unearthly speeds through the thick forest. Another coven of vampires who deemed me unworthy of existence, what else was new? I pushed my legs harder. If I could only get out of these trees escape would be easy. I kept running as fast as I possibly could, but I still sensed them gaining on me. Finally, I saw light streaming through the thinning trees. As soon as I cleared them my wings appeared and I unfurled them, taking flight into the thick Washington clouds.
I came to rest on a particularly dark storm cloud. From my vantage point I could see all the little people in some small town. I gazed upon them with envy. They were normal. They weren't rejected by both of their kinds. "I'm such a freak," I muttered to myself for the umpteenth time that night.
I internally cursed my father. That stupid incubus had to take up the project of trying to seduce an angel. Well congratulations! It worked! So here's the result, the most paradoxical creature on the face of this planet. Half vampire, half angel. I am Edward Masen, the personification of good and evil wrapped into the body of a teenage boy. A freak with wings and a thirst for human blood. And, as if that's not weird enough, I can also read people's minds. Not mention all the strange angely things I could do.
I flopped onto my back in frustration. My hands came up to cover my eyes. I was so frustrated at myself for existing. Unfortunately, there wasn't much I could do about it. With a sigh I rolled back onto my stomach and continued observing the little people with my vampire eyesight. One girl in particular caught my eye.
She was walking down the side of a road, and she was… beautiful. She had gorgeous brown hair that fell halfway down her back in light waves and a perfect small figure. She trained her eyes on the approaching storm above her and I became lost in the chocolate brown orbs. I stared entranced as she turned down another street. I wanted to know her name, what she did, what she liked, absolutely every trivial thing about her. For once I wanted a human to be able to see me. I wanted her to want to know me. My mind left the realm of possibility and into Edward Fantasy Land. I thought about holding her hand, touching her hair, kissing her pale pink lips…
Suddenly she whirled around froze like a deer caught in headlights. And there were headlights. A car had swerved off the road and was headed straight for her. Without thinking I catapulted out of my cloud cover. I plowed into her side, knocking us out of the way seconds before the car occupied the space she had been. She looked around wildly and I worried that I had hit her too hard.
All thoughts of her safety left my mind when her hair knocked her scent into my face. It was the most delicious thing I'd ever smelled. It was like freesias and blood. Sweet, sweet blood. I could hear her heart frantically pushing that sweet red liquid through her veins. I could see her veins through her translucently pale skin. I felt a new want, a want to sink my teeth into her flesh. My mouth pooled with venom and a quiet feral snarl escaped my lips.
Her head whipped in my direction and I came back to myself. She looked scared. I jumped back about ten feet to distance myself from her temptation. She struggled to her feet and continued down the street. I followed a safe ways away. Twelve minutes into our trek she walked up a driveway and into her house. With her no longer in my sight, I listened for her thoughts. All I found was an image of her going up a set of stairs. Whosever's thoughts I had found quickly returned to a basketball game on TV.
Intrigued, I flew up into a tree near a second story window. I was pleased to be greeted with a sight of the girl flopping down onto a bed. I concentrated harder on her mind, but was met with silence. Never before had a human's thoughts been hidden from me. I watched her face, looking for some clue as to what was going on in her head. She still seemed a little panicked, though her heartbeat had returned to a normal rate. Eventually it slowed even more, as did her breathing.
I stayed in that tree for the rest of the night, watching my beautiful angel sleep.
A/N: Soo… What'd ya think about that? Should I go with it? Yes, no, maybe? Leave a review and tell me! Also, I want a better Title. If you have any suggestions please tell me. Just something that portrays vampire and angel. Thank you!
