Edward's Point of View

Accident

Emmett and I were going to go hunt again. I was reluctant to leave Bella but I was getting too thirsty for her own good. We jumped into his car and began to drive up a bumpy and windy way. It was a road that no human ever dared to travel, as it was full of beasts and the road was too wild. Emmett was licking his lips in anticipation for the blood that he would consume. Blood...blood...blood... Emmett was idiotically repeating the word over and over again. He was picturing his teeth being sunk into the flesh of a wild bear... the warm, blood squirting out of the veins, moisturizing his throat... I couldn't help but lick the roof of my mouth as well. When we decided that we were in the forest deep enough, we succumbed to the monster within us.

I forgot how long we've been hunting. Emmett was miles away, looking for a sleepy and grouchy bear to drink from. Suddenly, I took a whiff of the cold air. A Human. The smell of the human was getting extremely close. I could not concentrate on my thoughts. I could not feel the civilized promise I had made to myself years ago: I would not drink from a human. The monster that was now in control of me gnashed his teeth and growled with excitement. The weak part of me tugged hopelessly at the monster to calm down, but the beast would not be tranquilized. Before I knew what was fully happening, I was dashing through the forest, hunting down my target.

My prey was sitting down on the trunk, reading a map. He seemed very worried about something. He glanced up when he saw my shadow dawning upon him. The man cracked open a smile in relief when he saw me. I drew nearer, almost tasting his blood...

"NO EDWARD!"

Emmett came crashing down upon me, locking me firmly down. The man looked confused and scared. All of a sudden, the monster escaped and was locked into the cage of civility once again. I heaved a sigh and said,

"Thanks Emmett. You saved me there."

I glanced up at the man who was nervously hovering near the trees.

"Uh, sorry sir."

What in the world are these two young men doing out here in the forest, tackling eachother? Are they mental? Maybe I should better find an exit by myself. You never know teenage boys these days...

I got up and brushed my clothes free from the dirt. The man looked troubled and backed away slowly. I slowly said,

"My brother and I were playing football. Do you need any help?"

Well, maybe he's not mental after all. OK, why not give it a try then?

"Do you know where the exit is?"

We let him into the car and drove him out. After he left, Emmett asked in a tight voice,

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. Sorry about that... I couldn't control myself... didn't know what happened..."

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again."

I could see that Emmett was a little mad and annoyed at me, so I decided to not say anything. The only thing that I could think about was... what if I lost control with Bella like that?
