Ravaged

Fresh mountain air filled my nose as I ran through a forest in the Appalachians. This is where I should have been born, I thought to myself sullenly, my life should have been different. The arguments in my head were always the same. If only…but my life had been that way, and now I was living a completely different existence than I had once planned for myself. I stopped that train of thought before it went down less pleasant alleys.

I let my senses override my thinking as I searched for the largest of the pathetic animals in the area. Preferably meat eating. I cut myself short as I smelled the flowing, throbbing blood of a human. The blood was flowing freely out of the body which made the smell, oh-so potent. I was bored and quite sloshy so I decided to investigate out of pure curiosity. After all I was Rosalie, and I could resist. I held my breath as I entered the clearing just in case.

Even though I was holding my breath it was insanely hard not to run to the throbbing and pulsing of blood. It was so close I could almost taste the sweet taste on my mouth. A large bear was standing over the man aiming for the kill. The man must have indignantly tried to pet the she-bears cubs. Of course the bear had reacted defensively, how couldn't have the man known. Stupid humans. I smacked the bear out of the way, killing it instantly. I'd finish it later. I turned around and froze.

The only want of my human life lay right before me. Vera's little boy all smiles and giggles. The dimples that appeared when he laughed and the pure innocence that radiated from his very being. Henry. I should had a father like his for a husband who would come home and give me a kiss that meant the world, and gave me a child that laughed and played on our lawn. I should have had that life. The life where someone loved me for something other than my beauty, but for something deeper—my soul.

I realized a second too late that this man was in his twenties. Henry would be older than this man. So much time had passed since I was truly alive.

A fierce and irrational longing overcame me and I wanted nothing more than to turn this man into the monster I was today. I wanted this man to take a part of my life and keep me company for the rest of my existence. I knew it was a long shot but in that moment I knew. I was owed that much at least, wasn't I?

I sweeped up the man in my arms and looked at him hard in the face. Did I really want to condemn this poor man to this miserable life I had. Was I that selfish?

"You're so beautiful," the man croaked, "I must be in heaven"

A real smile creeped across my face. When was the last time that I had smiled? I kissed his forhead as I towards my current residence. Yes, I decided. Yes I did.

I know its short but I tried my best. Please tell me if you like it!
