My love

I heard a sharp intake of breath as I entered the clearing, and I turned around to see who it was that were bothering me while I tracked the man I still loved. I gasped.

It was him.

The last time I saw him was when he tried to kill me in Forks, exactly 176 years ago. And here he was now, standing before me, like he actually remembered anything about me. I knew that I was just another useless victim to him, but to me, he was so much more…

"Do you remember me?" I asked. If he was any decent he would remember every face he killed. A flicker of recognition flashed across his face and then I could have sworn I saw a small tinge of regret and sorrow.

"I do, you were the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen, and I am so, so unbelievably sorry for taking your life away from you. But back then, I didn't know of any other way to live. Now I do." He spoke as if he wanted me to run away with him. I thought he was lying at first. But then I looked in his eyes, and saw for the first time that he had gold eyes, and not red or black like my self. And they practically screamed one word:

Truth.

So I trusted him, and not because I was so unbelievably in love with him, in love with my killer, it was because of the expression on his face, the way he held his hands, as if he could hold on to his life by holding his hands, and because he looked so vulnerable. Standing there by him self, like he had no one to love and love him.

"You speak like there is another option, tell me, is there another way apart from tearing human lives away from them like you did mine?" My words sounded absurdly old-fashioned, but they just came out.

"Yes, come with me, if you want to, of course, and I can show you how I now live." A smile and an expression of hope, happiness, and excitement lit up his face. His beauty shocked me like the day we first met…

*flashback*

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned around. The most gorgeous guy I had ever seen now stood in front of me, smiling, like he knew what I was thinking. He had gorgeous, shining, bronze hair, the most weird looking eyes I had ever seen. They were a brown colour, like a mix between red and black, with little flecks of black in them.

"Hi, do you need something, or are you just gonna stand there staring at me all day?" I joked. I could see that he knew I was joking, and not being a bitch.

"Well I could stand here staring at you all day, but that would waste your time, so I won't." He laughed, so did I. "But you're Bella, am I right? You just moved here didn't you? 'Cos I've never seen you before, I would have remembered you."

He was the most beautiful person I've ever seen…

*End Flashback*

"Will go with you, but I want you to know, if this is some trick, then tricking me will be the last thing you will ever do. I'm not some small human anymore, that you can trick into loving you so that you can take half of my blood and leave me to change by myself." I made it sound light and threatening at the same time. But when I mentioned what he did to me, he flinched and took a step back, as if trying to run from a memory.

Oh my god, did she actually just say she'd come live with my family? Or at least let me show her how I live?

"Do you mean that you'll let me show you how I live?" I asked. It just seemed too good to be true. It was almost like she was going to forgive me for making her a monster, I thought that I had killed her, but now I see I've done something much, much worse.

*Flashback*

"Edward, I love you." I pressed my lips against her neck, thinking I was in perfect control. But I felt her pulse underneath my lips and it was too much. I opened my mouth and bit her. I heard her scream, but I didn't care anymore; she was just some human girl, who I happened to love and who I happened to have looked for for over a century.

"Edward… I … errr… I love you! Don't do this! Edward!" But I couldn't hear her. I was too wrapped up in her blood. Before long, she drew quiet, her blood became slowly colder, and I realized what was happening.

I had to get away from there, I had killed the woman I loved. I was a monster.

*End Flashback*

Just as I had thought back then, I was a monster. But not anymore, I was different now... or was I?
