Prologue: Lapse

I cursed under my breath as I stormed my way to the Volvo where my family was waiting for me. I had
never had a worse day at school and it didn't look like it was going to get any better.
It had been absolute hell on earth sitting next to that girl in Biology class. Who did she think she was
coming into my life and driving me half out of my mind with desire for her blood? How dare she try to
ruin what my family had made for ourselves here, it just wasn't fair! Didn't we deserve at least a
little peace?
I cursed again; frustrated that she could demolish all of my carefully crafted walls in just a few
moments. She was a danger to our way of life and a danger to herself, though she might not have realized
it yet. Damn her.
"Edward," Alice, my sister, called out to me when she saw me coming towards them. There was a look of
panic, worry and fear etched into her face as she looked at me. I knew instantly that she had had a
vision involving me and it terrified her. I tried to block her out and give her privacy most of the
time, but when one of her visions involved me I couldn't help but peek into her mind.
I saw myself covered in blood, a look of horror on my face as I looked down at my prey, Bella Swan.
For a moment I wondered if she was asking me about what had happened in Biology class, showing me a
vision of what my future would have been if I had given into my baser instincts. Then I realized she
wasn't showing me a past memory, it was a vision she was having now. A vision of what my future was
going to be.
But wait, that couldn't be right! I had been in her presence twice today and I had walked away both
times, controlling the urge to sink my teeth into the lovely pink flesh of her neck, to taste the blood
that had been distracting me all day… I gritted my teeth and forced myself not to think of it. I would
drive myself crazy if I thought of her again. I had never been so attracted to the scent of blood before
hers. I could even smell it now, the heady floral aroma.
I shook my head to clear it of the scent but it wouldn't go away. I looked up and saw Bella walking
toward me from across the parking lot, a determined look on her face. I stood shock still, unable to
believe that my prey was coming to me willingly, practically offering herself up on a platter. Suddenly
I understood Alice's bloody vision and I knew that it was going to come true. I craved her blood like I
had never craved anything before. I was too far gone to think of the repercussions. All I knew was that
the closer she got to me, the more delicious her blood smelled. I had to get her on her own and soon, I
wasn't going to last much longer with her scent surrounding me.
"Edward, it's time to go home, Esme will be upset if we are late!" Alice"She is Chief Swan's only
child!" She screamed in her mind, begging me not to do this. called, trying to hide the note of
desperation that was filling her voice. I ignored her; she already knew what was going to happen.
I turned toward her and tossed the car keys to Rosalie, who caught them easily and gave me a
disapproving glare. Even though she didn't agree with my choice I knew she wouldn't interrupt either.
"I'll walk home," I called to them, "I need to take care of something first."
Alice's voice was loud and clear in my mind, "What will Carlisle think?"
I hesitated for a moment as Carlisle's disappointed face drifted through my minds eye. I would have
turned around then, I really would have, but the wind blew Bella's scent toward me, effectively blocking
out any other rational thought in my mind.
I turned from Alice, back to Bella and saw that she was only a few feet away from me, her eyes still
filled with determination to say whatever it was that she thought needed to be said.
"What in the hell is wrong with you?" she asked, standing only two feet away from me. She was braver
than she looked. I bit back a laugh at her bravado, not many people would come face to face with a
vampire and ask them what their problem was. Unfortunately for her it wasn't going to save her life.
"It's Bella, right?" I asked and she nodded. "I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me."
I gestured toward the forest and I saw her hesitate for a moment before looking into my eyes. What she
saw there must not have worried her because she strode into the forest without another word from me.
I hid my surprise with a delighted smile. I had never caught my prey with such ease before, it was a
nice change.
I followed after her, forcing myself to relax for just a moment. I was going to taste her blood soon; I
could force some cordiality before that, couldn't I? It turned out that I couldn't.
The moment we were far enough into the forest that I knew none of the students couldn't see or hear us,
I felt the desire for her blood overtake me, just as it had in the classroom earlier. I grabbed her arm
and barely heard her gasp in protest before I picked her up, slung her on my back and took off deeper
into the forest. I didn't want anyone to accidentally come across us, there didn't need to be more
bloodshed today.
The biggest problem was that with her so close to me I couldn't wait any longer to taste her blood. I
stopped with one swift, fluid movement and Bella fell to the ground behind me with a loud thump. I
turned toward her quickly, my mouth already filling with venom at the scent of her blood. It was such a
thick, mouthwatering scent I couldn't stop myself from inhaling it again and then cursing the fiery ache
that raced down my throat like a match to gasoline.
I snarled at the pain of the fire on my parched throat. It had really been too long since I had hunted
last, perhaps I wouldn't be in this predicament if I had recently fed but part of me doubted that. Even
if I had hunted earlier in the day I would be here, the call of her blood was too strong for me to
resist.
I heard a shuffling noise to my right and I snapped toward the sound. Bella wasn't fleeing as I had
thought; she was merely standing up and brushing the dirt of her clothes. The look she gave me wasn't
what I had expected. She wasn't afraid of me; she was only surprised at the events that had taken place
in the past few moments. Any normal human being should have been terrified, but this girl obviously had
no sense of self-preservation at all… strange.
A small gust of wind made its way through the forest, blowing her hair around her face and making my
throat flare again. I crouched down, unable to wait any longer. "I'm sorry about this," I managed before
I launched myself at her, knocking her to the ground.
I only half heard her soft moan of protest when I bit into the soft flesh of her neck. The blood tasted
sweeter than I had ever imagined, it was pure ambrosia. I drunk deep, lapping at the wound I had made.
No blood had ever compared to this, it was the sweetest most perfect taste.
I pulled back for a moment, wiping the blood from my lips. The moment I did I realized that I was living
Alice's vision. I was covered in blood and staring down at Bella Swan. In that instant I snapped out of
whatever hold her blood had for me.
My scream of horror and anguish rang through the stillness of the forest.
