Another Reminder
Edward POV:
As I caught her teardrop, two distinct thoughts raced through my head. The beast inside of me screamed the first one. "Taste it, can you imagine the taste? Sweet succulent water; ambrosia of the gods"
The broken, sad part of me whispered the second. "Just another reminder of what she'll lose. Another reminder of the creature you are, that you cannot even express such a simple thing; a tear."
With a sigh, and a peek at my Bella, I licked the teardrop off my finger, and the taste was unbearable. It was so sweet, and so good, but ruined by my knowledge that the beast had won. Another reminder, amplified by the beast.
