"So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me,

Somebody help me tame this animal"

- Animal I have Become - Three Days Grace

After five more classes that just blended within each other, I grabbed the folder I brought with me everyday and rushed to my silver Volvo. Teachers and students stared in envy, and I smiled as I sped through the parking lot to my house. Alice and Jasper were already waiting outside as I arrived. They posed as students; I couldn't stand the redundant days though. When I walked out of my car Alice was smiling, singing songs in her head. Normally I wouldn't suspect much, but she was trying overly hard not to slip. I raised an eyebrow and she shrugged and suggested we leave. Alice and Jasper held hands as they rushed through the forest, while I left them to themselves. I wanted someone to hold my hand as we ran, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. We caught the scent as we came face to face with a herd of deer. We attacked like the monsters we were, and as I drank the blood of the female I heard soft mewling. My head turned as the child of the animal I killed stared at me with large doe eyes. It pushed its head fearlessly against my leg while I crotched over. It was trembling but it was its attempt to ram me for hurting his mother. When it felt cold steel it stared up again, pain in its large brown eyes. My cold heart melted. I killed the only thing this fawn's life. I slowly stood up, and the little mammal rushed to its mother side as it continued to whimper and rub itself against her side. My cold hand ran softly on its face, and it continued to look at me. Its blood did not taunt me, and all I wanted was to care for this creature. So defenseless, so vulnerable. I left quickly while Alice and Jasper stared at my form running away. They had no idea, but I knew I wouldn't go hunting for a long as I could withstand. Extremely dangerous, and extremely irresponsible. I didn't care as I arrived at the house; Esme looked at me with soft eyes as I stopped in front of her.

"What plagues you son?" Carsile stepped next to her, his hand reaching her shoulder.

"I don't want to be a monster" my mother walked towards me, pulling me in a hug that only mothers could give. Love.

"I'm sorry you feel this way Edward." She spoke softly into the crook of my neck. We talked for a little longer until I went to my room and blasted various music. It was an hour later when Jasper and Alice came home, and sudden jealously fired within my veins. I knew exactly what happened; Jasper had a retarded grin on his face even in his mind. I slowly got into Alice's head, she was finally unblocked. The sights I saw were nothing I expected. I was on top of a gorgeous girl, fangs exposed as she stared up at me with the most amazing eyes. They were just the same as the fawn in the forest, large, brown, and filled with wonder. My hands were on her hip, as we kissed passionately. Alice finally came out of her vision with an 'Awe crap!' before she blocked herself completely. I rushed down the stairs, my feet stomping almost hard enough to break the wood underneath.

"Alice, what was THAT?" I screamed, while the rest of the family stared in confusion.

"What was what?" she was mocking me, a thin smile on her small face. I growled, walking closer.

"You know what, now you're going to tell me about what you just saw. It's more than obvious that you were hiding it, now tell me!" My voice was booming and my hands were shaking fiercely. Without a word she unblocked her mind, the full visions slipping into my head. I was talking to a human girl, the same as in the other sight. We were together, and she wasn't afraid. There must have been a mistake with Alice's visions, no way in hell any of this could happen. The visions continued to progress, leading to me attacking her, what?! She lay there, lifeless. Then it shifted back in time, right before I attacked her. This time I ran and jumped on her, but her golden eyes just laughed as we wrestled.

"NO!" I screamed louder than any time before, my family growing more worried as the seconds passed.

"Alice, this is NOT going to happen. So wipe that dumb smile off your face."

"She's going to be my best friend!" She nearly sung as she began to waltz with Jasper laughing. She continued to swing him along, almost taking the lead. Her mind was free now; visions of her and the girl hanging out filled her mind. She was ecstatic.

"Where do I meet her?" The words from my mouth came without warning, and Alice's smile just became brighter.

"I know your happy so stop acting miserable. You know you want this just as bad as I do, and it's concrete! Well, besides the last part…" She laughed and spun around, her short black hair flying around the place.

"No, that's where you're wrong." I clenched my teeth "Nothing you see is, it's based on decision, not fate. And it's not going to happen." I wasn't going to kill some girl, I couldn't! I promised I would never take someone's mortality, nor attack another human. Especially not an innocent seventeen year old girl, it was simply wrong to do so.

"Honestly, I don't know where you will meet her, but that is at least inevitable. You will meet; the only thing that is undecided is her future with you." She smiled again as visions of her and the girl shopping filled her mind. I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed, how could anything like this happen?
