"Oh Shit!" What was I supposed to do? "She saw me! She saw what I did! Next thing I knew, she'll be on the ten o'clock news, screaming about how some freak was walking around, seducing girls and jumping 50 feet into the air!"

"Ed, it's fine, just calm down a bit!" Jasper whispered cautiously as he took a step towards me. "Does this have to do with the girl you weren't supposed to be around tonight? If it does, watch out. You know what could happen. You know what happened last time."

"Oh god Jasper why did you have to mention that to me? It was 80 years ago for god's sakes! I still feel guilty, but you don't have to add on to it!"

"Well you remember! That's good! Maybe next time you can remember before you put some other poor girl's life at stake! They would kill you Edward! They would find you, and they would kill you. You have to be more careful!" Jasper was screaming now, in a menacing voice that would wake the undead, that is, if we could sleep. Speaking of undead, "Jasper, where's Emmett? I thought he was going to some boxing match thing?" But of course, right on cue, he walked in, a girl on either side, all looking just a little dazed, and a little drunk. Then we saw the puncture marks on the girls' necks. Crap.

"Jasper, get these girls home. I think Emmett has a little bit of business to take care of."

"Are you sure you want to send them home looking like this? I mean, if one of them were to notice…"

"They won't, trust me. If they were too drunk to notice he was doing…what he was doing, they won't notice it afterwards. And if they do, they won't come accusing us." I watched as Jasper steered the girls away from Emmett and out the door. I could still hear them giggling as the door slammed shut. With that, I turned on Emmett.

"I can't believe you did that! Feeding on innocent girls, then taking them back here! We could be exposed! We could have been hunted down! I already have a strike against me, if they can find any reason to come here, they'll blame it on me, and you know that! I can't believe you could be so arrogant! So stupid!"

"Edward, chill. Seriously, they're never going to notice, just like you said. And can't you just put the past behind you? Seriously! They probably don't even remember anymore!"

"Yes they do, Emmett! They remember, and her family remembers, and I remember! That makes 3 too many! One more strike, and they'll exterminate us all! You aren't just putting your own existence at danger; you're putting all of us in danger. We won't have it! And anyways, what about the pact we made, never to kill another human? Does that mean anything to you?!"

"Of course it does, I didn't kill them, I just borrowed some blood. It's not that big of a deal…"

"And what if you had killed them? What were you going to do then? You can't do this anymore! Honor your commitment, or you're out of here. For good." I shook with anger as I screamed at him. In a way, what I did tonight was almost just as bad, but I didn't know what to do. I couldn't stay away from her. I just hope my will is stronger than what I now felt invading every part of me. Love.
