I watch you fast asleep

All I fear means nothing

You show me how to see

That nothing is whole

And nothing is broken

His eyes bore into her body, the world around him becoming meaningless. She shifted slightly in her sleep, hair splayed around her. An angel; that was simply what she was.

Yet, she wanted to change that, to become a fallen angel. She wanted to become a demon.

Why? His mind repeatedly asked. Did she really want to be with him that much?

By the way she had continuously pushed it, he reasoned yes. Yes, she wanted --though she claimed she needed it- to be with him that bad she'd give up her humanity.

But... how could he allow that?

Sure, he wanted to be with her for eternity too. He wanted to know he could never hurt her again. Yet... he couldn't put her through the pain of a sub existence such as his. He couldn't let her lose her soul, or her family.

Though, she would gain a whole new family. She would be able to kiss him back for once. It would stop the pain that he knew was already caused.

Jacob was a problem though. He hadn't thought of bringing him up in the arguments. Bella was so fond of Jacob, and she would never be able to see him again, never be able to return to Forks again.

Then again, she had claimed to be able to leave everything behind for him.

Bella shifted again, wrapping her arms around his chest as he propped himself up on his elbow. "Edward... love..." she murmured softly, a sleepy edge to her voice.

His decision, his determination all clouded with those words. Edward leaned down, pressing his lips to her neck.

Canines tore through her flesh, causing her to scream and wrench away. She bounced as her body hit the hard floor below her bed.

Grasping and clawing at the pain in her neck, she continued to scream. Tears streamed endlessly down her cheeks.

Wasn't this what she wanted?

He went forward, trying to comfort her. She backed away quickly, shaking her head. Broken sobs started to be heard through her screams, leaving her gasping for breath.

No, maybe this wasn't what she wanted.
