Okay, so I'll probably have a chapter updated every…other day maybe.
Remember to review by the way! I really need the motivation at this point of my life. Thanks! Oh, and thank you to those of you who actually read my fanfics. Much appreciation and love!
We walked slowly—for a vampire—and in silence. That worried me a lot.
"Edward," I started, "you aren't…well, afraid of me, are you?" My voice cracked a little. I didn't think I wanted to hear his answer or see his face when he lied. But he put his arms around me and looked right into my eyes.
"Bella, I would never ever, ever be afraid of you. Remember, I'm the one that you should be afraid of." I found it very hard to doubt him, what with his golden eyes smoldering me to the ground like that.
"Well, I don't have to be afraid anymore."
He chuckled, but the sound was a little off.
I hated the uncomfortable burning in my throat while I was with Edward. It was like I swallowed a box full of lit matches that will never go out. No—it was far worse than that. I wondered if this was how Edward felt when I was still human.
Everyone was gone when we got back to the house and Edward said they were off hunting. Figures.
I was in the woods again. Searching for the scent that burning my throat and taunted my nose. I was like an animal—all crouched over and sniffing through the air. And then I smelled it. That strong scent again. It felt like it got stronger now, and I got hungrier. There was a puddle of water on the ground from it just raining recently and looked at my reflection. My eyes were getting darker and darker, which meant I was getting hungrier and hungrier.
The prey I hunted ran past me then. My head shot up and I dashed towards it. The smell that was so delicious that my mouth just filled with venom and poured out of my mouth like I was drooling. I was drooling.
I caught up to my prey then. I jumped on them just like I usually do. I tore off the arms and legs quickly so they wouldn't be able to get away. I was just about to…err…eat my kill when I looked down and saw that it was Edward. I got off of him right away then.
What have I done? I'm a true monster!
I just stared down at my hands in disgust and horror. Why me?
