Sweet Pine
I never took his necklace off. It was so precious to me. It was a connection I had too him, and it meant a lot. The only connection, other than himself that I had.
The next morning I went for a stroll in some secluded woods, about 3 miles from our home. I wasn't hungry, I just wanted to think quietly on my own. It was rare that I got my thoughts to myself anymore. If Edward wasn't trying to hear my thoughts, Jasper was feeling my emotions, which had him guessing what I was thinking about. Lets just say these days it was mostly just about Bennett, and how much I needed and wanted him. At least it kept Jasper at bay. Then there was Alice trying to predict everything. I was coy enough to plant some fake predictions in her head the other night, and some that where pretty rated. She found me out of course, but it was fun whilst it lasted.
The air was so clear and fresh here. The strong smell of sweet pine was oddly tingling my senses…I kept twitching my over sensitive nose.
The only sounds were of the birds chirping, calling and singing to one another in the distance. Peace. Just what I needed right now, what with the other vampires on our, my, trail.
I had snuck out, the perfect trait of mine allowing me to get away from everyone undetected. I knew it wasn't safe, but I just needed to get away for a while.
I laid out on the dewy grass, covered in beautiful white avalanche lilies, the sun twinkling through the trees and over my body.
Then suddenly the sun disappeared, and I knew I wasn't safe.
I opened my eyes so quickly any normal being would not have seen it. I was getting ready to spring, I couldn't though.
It was all so sudden and they so fast. I was pinned to the ground by a strong force, they sniffed my body, taking in my every scent. They sniffed my neck, teeth grazing my marble skin, I felt breath on me. It made me feel sick. They had control. How could I get out of this. I worked so hard to use my ability against them, and for myself, I wasn't strong enough. I needed help, and fast.
They smelt like sweet pine!
