His dimples showed through his painful grimaces. His dark, curly hair and innocent face were beautiful. Like Henry's.
He was simply too beautiful to die this way.
I took a step closer to him. My throat burned, but I wouldn't have time to quench my thirst if I was really going to do this. Am I really going to do this?
It was selfish. It was the most selfish thing I could ever do.
I hated this half-life. I hated the bloodlust, the constant urge I refused to satisfy. I hated being an outsider. I hated immortality. I hated my beautiful, perfect body, and I cursed the barren womb inside. I would be taking this dimpled, curly-haired man's life. I would be damning him, too.
His eyes opened, and the writhing stopped for the briefest moment as he looked at me. I knew that look. It was shock, awe, disbelief, lust. I had seen the same look on the face of every human male. He was certain he was seeing an angel, a vision of perfection; beauty personified. This man was dying, yet what room within him that wasn't filled with sheer agony contained only desire. Desire for me.
It was sick how much that pleased me.
Edward had never looked at me that way. He had never wanted me, and I hated him for it. He was presumptuous. He had written me off. I had never wanted him, either, but I wanted him to want me. Was I… unwantable?
The broken, beautiful man on the ground wanted me; of that, I was certain.
His eyes were closed again, and his body was convulsing. His blood was pooling by his ribs, and I had to make a decision.
He looks so much like Henry.
Suddenly, I was myself again. No longer hesitant, over-thinking. I was confident, gorgeous Rosalie Hale, who every boy wanted and every girl wanted to be. I strode towards the man on the ground and threw him easily over my shoulder. I was now covered in his blood, but I refused to stop breathing. I was strong. I could manage.
This was it. It was a selfish decision, but I couldn't bring myself to care. I was going to live forever, and I would not spend forever alone.
So I began to run.
Let me know what you think!
