Jasper POV

Lyrics: loosely Linkin Park, Papercut

Happiness and excitement was filling the room flooding off of everyone around me. I drifted closer to Bella and Edward trying to get a better view of her opening her birthday presents. Emmett slammed himself behind me, more eager then anyone else.

"Give it to me," Bella sighed taking the present from Alice.

Emmett chuckled with delight.

I watched as Bella carefully took the small package rolling her eyes at Edward as she slid her finger in-between the paper.

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

"Shoot," she muttered as the delightful smell of fresh human blood filled my nostrils. My pupils dilated as she pulled it out examining the cut as a single drop oozed out.

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
I feel the light betray me
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

The monster took over easily.

The face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath my skin

"No!" Edward roared. Throwing my prey farther from me. A crash came before the scent increased tenfold. I lunged forward. Only to be slammed back by Edward. I wanted this. I needed her blood now.

Snarls spilled out as I snapped and growled as I was held back. My prey was locked in sight. My black eyes trained solely on her. There was no rationing.

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall

My conscious mind had lost to monster within.

I had failed.
