Chapter 4:
Angela POV:
It was time. Time for the wedding. I couldn't help my smile as we arrived at the Cullen house. I arrived with Jessica, Mike, and Eric. I was somewhat glad we didn't bring Lauren and Ben with us. They hadn't received an invitation and surprisingly I was fine with that.
Once we reached the door we were greeted with a very bouncy Alice. We had come to know her for being a spitball of energy.
"You guys are just on time! Come on in," Alice pulled us all in.
Once in we were swarmed by decor. The flowers hung every where and were arranged perfectly. Same with the lights they twinkled everywhere like the trees outside. To get here to be hones that's what we followed. Were the lights and bows. We found are way outside and of course it too was out done. The candles we had brought were lit at each table further back.
"You guys are in the second row so you may go sit and mingle." Alice beamed skipping off somewhere.
Time flew by right into the reception. I wandered over to where Mike and Jessica were ogling the giant cake. "It's nice, could've been better." Jess sneered a bit.
"I like it," Mike shrugged.
All I could do was shake my head. It was times like this that made me question why I was there friend. I passed them quickly. I kept to myself a bit. I wasn't one to mingle too much. Sure I could but sometimes it's just to awkward when you don't know many people.
I must've not been looking where I was going, when I was nearly flung back a few steps. Oh no! How many times is this going to happen? I blushed furiously looking up to none other than Dr. Cullen.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Cullen. I must have zoned out..." I stammered my apology to him.
He gave an assuring smile that I was forgiven. His wife Esme at his side smiled to me as well. Oddly enough these smiles reminded me of Marcus. "No harm done Angela,"
I smiled back and quickly made my way by them. It was then my stomach decided to make itself known. What had I eaten? I groaned and made my way back past Dr. Cullen who just seemed confused in my sudden haste. I really need to find a bathroom!
"Angela, are you alright?" A bell like voice asked in alarm.
I glanced up to Alice who stood with three blonde beautiful women, no doubt their relatives. But I didn't have time to observe. "I do feel a little under the weather, can you direct me to the washroom?"
"Once inside it's the second door to the left." Alice answered a little skeptical. Her eyes seemed to bore into me.
I quickly walked by them but only to hear one murmur, "Is she alright Alice? I've never seen a human so flushed."
I'd question it but once I got to the bathroom I literally fell to my knees and heaved up my meals from today. Oh what had I eaten? I groaned a bit. My vision seemed almost blurred as something took over me. All of this has been happening since that night. I shivered as the events of that night ran through my mind.
Cool hands roughly grabbing me, cool tongue running over my breasts... Full body shivers retched through me. No! I clenched my eyes shut and stood slowly. I rubbed my stomach softly on the now bit larger bump. What was going on with me?
Think of happier thoughts Angela... Like college, or maybe Marcus? He's more of a distraction... A good one really. He seems so reserved really, something about him though reminds me of my attacker. I shudder, how can such a sweet gentleman be related to any monster who attacked me? I shook my head.
No my attacker was a red eyed demon. Marcus held brown. They were not the same, yet they were so alike... Both cold and stone hard. Pale and radiating power.
Gah happy thoughts! I shook my head again feeling my stomach become heavy again. Oh please no... But this time it didn't want to make me puke, no I felt thirsty. I made my way out of the Bathroom but I blurred past everyone. Well sort of.
I spotted Eric on the side of the dance floor near the woods. Hmm, he seems so lonely. I thought tilting my head. I stalked towards him. No one payed attention as I slipped beside Eric. I tapped his shoulder.
"Ang! Omg, you can't just sneak up on a guy like that!" He exclaimed a hand on his heart.
I smiled apologetically to him. "I'm sorry Eric I just, well as you know Ben and I broke up. I was feeling lonely would you come take a walk with me?" I asked innocently.
His eyes lit with a hint of a smile. "Sure Ang, did you need to talk of something?"
I shook my head. "No, I just want to walk, but not alone."
He took my hand and led me into the woods. Soon enough we were far enough into the forest to hear and stand by the running river. I froze when it hit again. The blurring vision the sinking stomach... But why am I so thirsty? I looked to the river. And it's liquid seemed to not be what I craved. I needed something thicker, sweeter...
I glanced to Eric. I zoomed in on his pulsing artery in his jugular. I stalked towards him. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and pressed my lips to his. He froze in place at my movements. I trailed my lips down and slowly made my way to his sweet smelling neck.
Before I realized, my teeth were sunk into his flesh and blood was pouring into my throat. The hot liquid sated my thirst.
"Ang, wha-what a-are y-you d-doing?" Eric stammered before it was too late.
Soon I had drank him dry. But it was worth it! A voice hissed in my head.
I fell to the ground as the haze started to lift. W-what had happened? I slowly got to my feet. I looked at my hands. Oh my god! W-why is there blood? I wanted to scream but I didn't want attention. What had I done? I quickly looked around seeing my dress was fine but my arms and hands were covered in blood. Eric's blood! I-I only meant to walk with him! N-not to drink him dry. He was my friend, what had I done. I held in my screams.
I quickly threw his body into the river. Pounding filled my ears. I need to run! I-I can't stay! I-I have to go! I felt my feet push me threw the forest. I needed to run anywhere but here. I'm a murderer! I began to huff as it came out in little muffled whimpers tears began to stream down my eyes.
I didn't know where I was going but all I know it had to be away from here!
It felt like hours. Truly when I finally decided to stop. The blackened sky I stopped and dry heaved. Oh god... I fell to my knees then to my side. I laid in the dirt and begun to shake violently. Oh, god... I clenched my eyes shut. I held myself from getting sicker. Or worse turning on someone or something.
'snap!'
I froze in place. I heard no continuing steps. But I knew they were there. I slowly opened my eyes to a blurry figure.
"Angela..."
A voice whispered, before it all went black.
