I was hunting in Phoenix, Arizona. A little too close to home if you ask me, but it was to dangerous to go any further South and I was tired of the Southeastern states. I wasn't necessarily in a bad part of town, but many bad thing still happened here. I wasn't extremely thirsty so it was easy to wait. I watched the sunset as I listened for the human monsters I had heard at a bar earlier, one in particular named Lonnie - he's definitely going to do something bad today. I found his mind, along with three others down at a empty beach, minus the one girl they followed. They had a few beers and a little set up on the shore that they would drag her back to. This beach was nearly always empty due to all the litter and broken glass, minus the fowl human beings that drank that poison. The truly bad beach. Part of me wondered why the girl was there, that's when I realised I hadn't heard her mind.

I tried without luck and then simply settled for watching her through the men's eyes. I was furious at my failure, but at least I could still hear they're meaningless evil thoughts, that meant it was her, not my ability.

She had mahogany brown hair and wore a dark blue tank top with tan shorts and flipflops - typical wear for this weather. She was extremely pale which made me wonder if she was vacationing and from a colder climate. Infact, she could be a vampire and she didn't seem bothered by the men with bad intentions following her, but she had a knowing look to her, even from this angle. She was beutiful.

I ran off to find her and the men. Soon I was at the beach and had all of them in my sights. Then the wind blew her scent my way...MINE! My only thought, suddenly I wasn't in control of myself and an impalpable rage roared through me. My thought barely coherent were all directed to the beauty and her awaiting blood. Venom pooled my mouth.

MINE...How dare they threaten...mine. Mine, mine, mine, mine, MINE! Must have...need...her blood! Such sweet smell. I want! MINE! I could barely register tham as my own thoughts. I quickly snapped the necks of each villain to get to my precious prey, I didn't have the patience to torture them as I wanted to. After the fellow threats to my girl were annihilated my thoughts became more intelligible and my rage simmered down slightly, but my need grew even more.

Must savore...Mine! She beutiful, beyond beutiful - me want. Need! Not here though, somewhere else, more private. Mine! I take her! She was beutiful, no beyond beutiful in person, she was gorgeous! She had the perfect curves and her skin seemed to literally glow in the brief moonlight. Her wavy mahogany hair looked nearly black and resembled the beutiful inky ocean. It tried all the way down to her waist line, hiding much of her gorgeous moon kissed skin. I could barely see the strap of her bikini top, but the deep blue complemented her skin flawlessly, her small khaki shorts revelled much of her slender legs, tempting me further and she had the tiniest most adorable toes.

I am the silent assassin of the night and there's no way she could have heard me, but the snapping of bones must have alerted her. She's rigid and stiff as she slowly turns around and I wait eagerly to see the gorgeous face of my prey, little did I know how gorgeous she was. I was stunned by the depths of her soulful chocolates and even in her frantic state there is a warmth that melts my cold heart and stirs something deep within me.

So...innocent, so sweet, so warm, so frantic. Must sooth her, hold her, love her. Mine, she's all mine. My erratic thoughts are soothed and settled in her eyes and then they flicker away to the bodies at my feet. She gasps and steps back, an unnerving green undertone takes over her skin and the spell is broken, the frenzy erupts.

MINE! My thoughts roar as she steps back, How dare she back away! MINE! Mine, all mine! Take her, I need her, her blood calls to me! I want, I need! MINE!

A small part of me looks down upon itself - that small part being Carlisle doing! It hates me for being controlled by my greed and false needs, but I truly can't help it - I can't help her! And it's so frustrating! I've never taken an innocent any way, but I knew I couldn't help, but take her in every way - maybe even her life, maybe even her soul. And I hate myself even more for that! For taking this sweet little angel before be and caring her off to my hell, but I have to - I need to.

Her eyes flutter and she goes lip. Instantly I'm there holding her up before she can fall to the sandy earth. I stop for a second as a heavenly wave of electricity crashes through me where angel skin touches demand skin and I purr loudly at the sensation, wanting so many things at once. I want to take her away at light speed, I want to kiss her silky soft skin, I want to bite her, I want to drink her in - all of her, I want to make her mine, to claim her, to taste her, to take her to a home, to protect her, to leave her, and to love her - I want her to love me to.

But I'm a monster.

I take of running with her to my lousy apartment.
