A Change of Heart: Sequel to Lacey
Chapter 1: Letting Go
The sound of the fast moving feet of a vampire is unique. To the human ear, it's almost inaudible. To the ear of an immortal, it's the same as any other sound. Lacey heard Edward chasing after her. His darkening eyes kept a hold on her wolf form and weaved along the same path.
"You can't run from me, Lacey." He hissed jumping up into the trees overhead. She stopped abruptly when she lost the sound of his steps. He leapt down from the trees crouching down eye to eye with the snarling wolf. He lunged at her, pinned her body against a thick old oak. "Change!" Her body phased back to the tiny Native American with tear stained eyes that were occupied with pain.
His face relaxed and he let go of her. The cold chill made her shiver. "Uh, can I borrow your jacket?" His long jacket fell mid thigh on her naked body. They stood in silence for a few minutes then Edward spoke. "You can't just leave. We made a deal."
"There was no result. She died, if you didn't remember." She placed her hands on her hips shifting weight to her left foot. "I can't change who I am. I am a werewolf." She took a step closer to Edward. "You're a vampire, my enemy not my lover."
"You can denounce your wolfness or whatever and I can change you. We can run away from here and be together." He got worked up about it, hands in the air then on his face.
Lacey stepped over to him, holding her hands in his; the cold and the warmth meeting in one hand numbing any hatred for a moment of time. "This is who I am. I need to accept who I am and what I am and so do you. Being a werewolf is a part of my heritage."
"Your father left the reservation for someone he loved. Why can't you?"
"I-I-I"
"You don't love me?"
"It's not that, Edward. It will hurt so many people. Think of Bella, your wife. Think of Jacob, my boyfriend. Think of Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper. Think of them. They will all be hurt by our decisions. Don't be so selfish."
The marble muscles in his jaw clenched. "Why are you saying things like that and thinking other things?" He was reading her thoughts. She remembered their times together. She had thoughts of what would happen if she went with him. "You know I can read your thoughts."
"Edward, Please listen to me. I lost a family member that I didn't get to know. Think of who I'll not be able to meet or what I'll miss with the people I love if I decide to run away with you. Your family is immortal, but mine isn't." She phased back to her wolf form and ran towards home. Edward stood alone in the woods. His hands fell limp to his side and his eyes gazed out towards somewhere far away.
He mumbled something under his breath.
OOC: I felt guilty kind of hurting jacob so I decided to hurt the evil Edward i created.
