Here are my entries for the Twilight Twenty-Five one-shot and drabble (100 word) challenge. For more information go to: http:// community. livejournal. com/ thetwilight25/ (without the spaces)
We were given 25 one-word prompts. In most cases, I'm using the word as the theme, rather than a literal part of the drabble. FYI: I'm not going in alphabetical order.

Bella leans back from the table, frowning slightly as she searches the ceiling for trigonometry formulas.
Across the room, Jasper stares at the alabaster column of her neck, the crimson and teal veins thumping warmly beneath her rice paper skin.
Edward scowls. Bella notices, her homework forgotten. She glances nervously at Jasper and drops her chin, mixing fear with freesia.
Alice sighs and rubs Jasper's arm.
He retreats outside, inhaling. Again he's grateful Edward is a mindreader, not an empath. Swallowing venom and guilt, he hates that his desire for Bella's blood is stronger than the lust for his wife.

A/N: This drabble is inspired by a line in chapter three from Pastiche Pen's fabulous fic "If Love Could Light a Candle." I highly recommend it.
