BELLA'S POV

I was running. All alone, and I wasn't tripping, stumbling, or even worried about hurting myself. Edward was right next to me. It should have been a dream come true.

But a nagging feeling dominated this perfect moment. There's yummy blood ahead. Go to it, Bella. Go. I did what it said and kept running.

As I got closer, the smell hit my nose. It was delicious, sweet, yet not in a sickly sort of way.

Edward wasn't next to me anymore, but I didn't care. Right now all that mattered was satisfying the thirst building in the back of my throat. In front of me was a pack of wolves. They had their noses in the snow, sniffing the dead grass.

I ran towards the first one and dove on it. My teeth found their way to its throat, sinking them into its furry neck. Blood instantly swam into my mouth, quenching the dieing thirst.

I savored it, and when the creature was sucked dry, I moved onto the next. It tried to run away. Pathetic creature. You can't run from anyone, not even me. I jumped on it and cracked its neck as easy as breaking a toothpick. I sucked this one dry, too.

Standing up, I looked around to the rest of the pack. They seemed to not even notice me standing there, killing half its members. I looked down at the animal in front of me, dead. A pang of guilt hit me, but I shook it away. Nothing else mattered but getting blood. That was what I wanted, and that was what I was going to get.

A smell caught the air, and before I knew it, my feet were carrying me away from the clearing. The smell was so delectable, like a Thanksgiving dinner. The thing I wanted most was in front of me, and I was going to get it. I was getting closer and closer with each passing step. It was fruity, sugary, and floral all at once. My favorites, all combined in one. A smell this good can't be created with chemicals or in a lab. And I had a feeling nothing would smell so good.

I took a sharp left. Edward was standing in front of me, running backwards. I swiped to hit him out of the way. I wanted the smell, and he couldn't have it.

The smell was so close, my mouth was watering. Only a few more feet, and I'll be there. Edward was next to me again.

"Bella, think of what you're doing."

But I couldn't think. In front of me, the mountains opened up. It was an image of a postcard. A small green tent was set up at the foot of the mountain, a huge fire roaring to life in front of it. Two logs were on either side of it, making a picture-worthy view. I could smell the fragrance coming from the tent. It was so savory, I knew that was the source of what I wanted.

The second I stepped into the clearing I was on the ground. The figure pinned me on the ground, forcing my hands behind my back. I struggled to kick him off. He's trying to steal your meal. Fight him. I did what the voice told me to. I wanted that blood. I kicked and fought with all of my strength. The person behind me wouldn't budge. I was too tired to fight him. I give up. In one swift motion, I was being carried away from my perfect meal.

The farther I got away from the clearing, more of the fog in my head went away. Did I actually almost kill that person? What would have happened if Edward didn't stop me? Why couldn't I stop myself? By the time we got to the house, I was sobbing. This was one of the times I wanted to cry. I needed that feeling of regret, of punishment. Edward walked inside and set me on the couch, cradling me in his arms.

"Shhh Bella. It's okay." He cooed.

"No it's not. I almost killed someone. If you weren't there, I would have. How am I going to stand up to the Volturi like this?" I couldn't breath. My breaths were becoming shallower with each second.

"Bella, hush, you're going to hurt yourself." He kissed my forehead over and over again, telling me everything would be okay.

But it wouldn't. It never would be.


EDWARD'S POV

The second she took off from the clearing, I knew something was wrong. As I got closer, I knew what she was after. The sweet smell of human blood was in the air, and to a newborn like Bella, it would be irresistible.

"Bella." The sound carried, but if Bella heard it, she ignored it. She kept running towards the smell frantically. She took the longest route around the mountain. I cut between the mountains, making it there before Bella did. She rounded the corner, utterly surprised and entranced. "Bella, think of what you're doing." She didn't stop. The human was just a few feet away, and if he saw Bella, or me, I would have to dispose of him, an unnecessary loss.

Bella ran past me, running towards the smell. Her face wasn't hers anymore; neither was her mind. The ghost of a demon was present, overtaking her beautiful features. I need to hurt her before she hurts herself. I dove on Bella, pinning her to the ground. She struggled against me, but even with her newborn weight, I stayed firmly on top of her. I could see her energy dieing slowly. She was fighting too hard for her system to handle. Finally, she fell limp. I picked her up and ran as fast as I could to the house, blocking her face and arms from any danger.

She broke down sobbing before we even got home. I couldn't help but glance down at her. She really was like a baby, just beginning to know about her life. A rip broke through my chest when we got home. It seemed like I had been running for hours, and yet, the moon wasn't that high in the sky. Only half an hour had passed since we left.

I pulled Bella closer into me. She was shaking and hyperventilating. There was no need to worry about that now; the worst that would happen was she would feel uncomfortable without breathing. But I couldn't shake the feeling that this was my fault.
