Chapter Two
It took only 5 minutes to get to the movie theaters and it was packed! The line to even get a ticket was at least 20 minutes long at their slow human pace. This was going to be a real test for me. I could smell the humans and just imagine how good they would taste. Their warm blood flowing down my throat and quenching my thirst. Just one human wouldn't hurt anyone. And I could probably muffle her scream. I shifted and heard Bella shift away. She blushed for some odd reason and the blood flowed to her cheeks. It would kill Edward if I took her lifeā¦but she looks like she tastes so good. Venom started pooling in my mouth and I turned to hear Edward hissing at me. I could also feel how worried Alice was. Edward was now in the back seat in between Bella and I and was staring at me with a death glare.
"I wasn't going to do anything!"
"Your thoughts said other wise." Edward growled. I looked up at Alice, who was in the passengers' seat, and gave her an apologetic look.
"He meant no harm, Edward." Alice said.
"I don't care what he meant, his thoughts were so vivid! It was disgusting."
"Seriously Edward, its fine. Let's just go get our tickets now. We're going to be late!" Bella exclaimed. She was coming to my defense. Even her, a human could somehow grasp how hard this was for me.
We all finally got out of the car and started walking towards the movie theater. Edward had his arm wrapped protectively around Bella and I was holding Alice's hand. Alice stopped and turned towards me.
"Why don't you and Edward just wait out here while Bella and I go buy the tickets? There's no reason to be inside yet."
I thought about this for a minute and decided it was a pretty good idea. I gave her a kiss on the lips, making sure to stay as the southern gentleman that I was, and watched her dance into the theater. Edward and I sat down on a bench that was along the side of the building. We could still see the girls from where we sat so it was a pretty good place. Edward leaned back and shut his eyes. He was probably sick of listening to all the thoughts around him. Probably mostly mine. Why did I have to be so damn weak?
"Jasper, its fine. You're not weak. It was hard for all of us at first." Edward said without even opening his eyes.
"I know, I'm just disappointed. That's all."
I looked back into the theater and saw Alice and Bella still standing in line. It didn't even look like they moved at all. Alice turned and waved at me than giggled. I waved back with the biggest smile on my face. She turned back around and continued talking to Bella like before. A group of girls walked right in front of Edward and I and than stopped right in front of the window we were looking in to see Bella and Alice. The girls started chatting real loud and I could sense Edward starting to get nervous. I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed that they smelled really good. One of the girls reached into her purse to get something but quickly took her hand back out when she got sliced by something. The air suddenly filled with the scent of blood and my eyes glazed over to red.
