Chapter 10
Part 1
This was it. This was the moment. Emmett stood behind me in case I tried to run and Alice, Edward, and Rosalie were outside in the lobby awaiting our "get-out". I held tightly to Carlisle's smooth hands. They were cold, but warm within my grasp. Just the thought of letting go was unmistakeably heartbreaking in itself. I didn't even want the thought to exist. Although I knew it would end once and if I made it out of this hospital successfully. Carlisle opened the room door and that's when the first scent hit. It was like walking into a bakery full of tons of sweets that I was free to pick from. The aroma was so strong that I was sure I would rip Carlisle's hand off in order to get to it. There were no humans in the hallway that we were walking down, but the further and further we got to the lobby, the stronger the smell seemed to grow. I squeezed Carlisle's hand tighter. Emmett placed his right arm around my shoulders to make it seem as if he were comforting me down the hall with Dr. Cullen. How am I going to do this? This will never work...I began to hyperventilate as I tried to keep my mouth from watering. I didn't know what kind of feeling this was but I knew it wouldn't end well if they let go of me.
We finally entered the lobby; which turned out to be worse. Worse than I ever could have possibly imagined. There weren't that many people sitting out there. However, about 3 out of the 10 sitting had some sort of open wound that was calling for my utmost attention. I didn't know what to do. I saw Edward and Alice get up and motion towards me as Rosalie held open the front door. We finally got to the receptionist desk. The kind lady, Sara I believe it was, behind it (the one I had been so unfortunately rude to during Greyson'saccident) turned around to greet us. As she whipped around to smile at us, her honeysuckle scent whipped around with her. Her eyes (which I hadn't noticed before) were an almond shaped amber that reminded me of cinnamon roles. Her hair, as blonde as the sunlight gave off a strawberry-shampooed scent that made me weak in the knees. Her skin was evenly tanned and tended to show a turquoise vein here and there. Even in her wrist and in the deep of her throat. She was breath-taking.
"Hello Dr. Cullen." She said merrily. Her voice lifted like a girl's voice usually does when she sees her crush walk up to her. Her voice highly suggested that she loved coming to work everyday just to catch a glimpse of Carlisle Cullen. I think that's what caused it. Seeing her smile at Carlisle in that flirty way made me want to tear her neck open more than before. I felt a type of jealousy I had never felt in my life. And what's funny is that the memory of Greyson, in that brief moment, seemed to not exist at all.
She noticed me staring at her and I heard her heart stop for a beat and then move faster. Her brain clicked and then said She's soo beautiful...much more beautiful than I last remember. Her eyes were locked onto mine. I heard her thought process trying to give her another action...something else that could cause her to take her eyes away from mine. But nothing she could say to herself or do could get her to move. She- at this very moment in time- was my prey. And this pathetic prey could not escape one of the most ferocious predators on this planet...me. I would not allow it. And neither would her body. mmm her precious body. I all at once felt a sort of sexual desire run undulate through me. The feeling of having this sort of power over someone released a sensuality so strong, that just the thought of her blood running from the spot I would sink my teeth in to her collar bone, down to between her breasts to her navel had my head spinning. I felt dizzy but I couldn't fall. I would not fall until I had her. Get up. I thought. And with that command, she stood up from her chair eyes still burrowed into mine. I felt myself smile a bit. Unbutton your top... I thought again. Her hands came up to caress her neck and slid down to unbutton her top. Oh what a sight that was as she began to let loose the first two buttons. The veins that stood out around her cleavage was what I wanted to see. All of that harbored blood within...and it could be mine.
"Hello Sara." Carlisle announced sharply. And all at once stand-still time began to revive from it's sleep. I noticed all of the patients again they paid no attention to us and didn't even look in our direction. I noticed Edward and Alice were already by our side blocking us from most view; with horrified looks on their faces. I didn't bother looking at Emmett or Rosalie (who was still holding the door at the front) because I had already knew what was to be shown on their expressions. Carlisle squeezed my hand gently and gave me a look before he smiled a smile of reassurance. Sara on the other hand noticed her halfway unbuttoned top and began to button it back up as she breathed fast and hard. Her blush made me go crazy after that. I had almost had her look at me again but she was too embarrassed at what she felt must have happened and ran off to the bathroom. It's okay. She doesn't know what happened. Carlisle thought. But she feels some form of pent-up sexual energy in her body right now that you... chided in Edward's silky voice.
"I didn't do it on purpose..." I said softly through clenched teeth. "Get me outta here please. We're so close. I can't be in here without attacking. It hurts toresist. And I'm getting sick to my stomach. She looked so good...please hurry." I chased my words out of my mouth so fast that I was surprised they even understood the babble. We walked out faster than the usual and I breathed in the air that blew around me. It wasn't the scent of blood or of decaying flesh. It wasn't the taste of honey or of lavender. It was natural smells all around me; saving myself from any kind of disaster my new found powers could cause upon me and the Cullens.
"Let's get in the car." Alice said. We walked over to the Carlisle's car, with me in the front passenger's seat. Carlisle got into the driver's side and started the car. On our way out of the lot, I breathed deeply.
"I'm sorry everyone. I really tried." I said softly.
"It's okay." Carlisle said with, what I knew to be, a smile in his voice. Someone was thinking it. And I was waiting for them to say it aloud. I couldn't differentiate between the voices now that I was in a car full of them. Welcome to my world. That was definitely Edward's vocal thought. Stay out of my head Edward. I shot back. Just so you know...He's still gonna say it.
"I don't know about the rest of you. But...what happened back there. That was hott." Emmett belted out. I heard a small "ow" come afterward. Alice and Edward snickered.
