DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING STEPHENIE MEYER DOES!

Anna's Point Of View

He looked at me,

his eyes

BURNING

into the very core of my being.

My stomach

rolled

as the world changed

to a

greenish-blue

blur.

But he had asked.

So I told him.

I told him about

the robbers

that had attacked them

while my sister and I

sat at home,

sick.

I told him how

when that…

THING

bit me, I went

to the only place I knew

for help.

MY SISTER.

I told him how,

when I had come home one day,

I found her screaming

on the floor,

and how

I didn't know what to do

and how

two days later

her heart

STOPPED

its beat

beat

beat

beating.

And I told him how,

in my

PANIC

and

RAGE

that

MY SISTER

was

DEAD

I

RAN

without even burying her.

The world,

no more blue-green,

but

RED HOT

with shame,

returned to its

upright

position.

We held each other.

I, relieved,

my story told.

He, grieving,

for the loss of his family.

We held

each other for

a long time.

Until

the voice

came from

the woods.

Everything

FROZE.

Elyza

MY SISTER

stepped out into the sunlight,

her skin

SPARKLING

like a million diamonds,

the sneer on her face

like a smack in mine.
