Chapter 10

A/N: AHHHHHHHH!!!! I HAVE SWINE FLU!!!!!! But I don't see what the big fuss is all about.

I couldn't help laughing out loud as I saw the Cullen's reactions to my wings. Alice had gone to all this trouble of making me this outfit that had no back, so I could show off my wings with pride.

And when Alice had gathered them all, with the exception of Bella and Rosalie, who I hadn't seen ever since I had become a vampire, Alice called me in and helped me showcase my wings.

The Cullens reactions were priceless, Alice had a video camera and everything. Carlisle wanted to see my DNA, Edward. Esme and Emmet were too shocked to say anything, and I think Jasper thought I was an Angel by his expression while he stared at my wings.

I could also sense quite a bit of jealousy from most of them, and I couldn't blame them, I loved my wings. Being able to fly is amazing.

"You can really fly with those?" Carlisle asked me

"You bet" I said with a triumphant smile

"I hope I don't sound imposing, but… may I see your wings in action?" Carlisle asked me in an awed tone

"Sure" I laughed. We headed outside and I took off and soared around the house, feeling the wind rushing past me. Flying always is an amazing feeling.

I just realized that I would never have to worry about a sudden brain attack causing me to fall unconscious and sending me plummeting to my doom. Even if I was knocked out by anything, which I doubt is possible, I wouldn't be killed.

Every cloud has a silver lining right?

I heard a new voice added to the Cullens below me, as I came down to land.

"Max I am so jealous of your wings!" Alice once again told me, that's all I had been hearing for the past couple days.

I took a look around for the new voice I had heard talking with the others about my wings and saw Bella.

"Hey Max" she said to me when I looked at her

"Hey, you're Bella right?" I asked her

"Yeah, sorry I haven't been around to meet you earlier, but I have to look after Renesmee, with you being a Newborn and all" She told me

"Uhh, Renesmee?"I questioned her, confused

She laughed, it had a wonderful noise

"Yes, long story, but she is my daughter, half vampire and half human. I can't bring her near the house because you would smell her blood and attack. No hard feelings or anything though. I have had Rosalie over there keeping me company and also looking after Renesmee" Bella explained

"oh" I said, my eyes downcast, I was the monster that she couldn't bring her daughter near. I remembered the hiker and felt anger and guilt welling up in me.

I felt waves of calm hit me and I looked up to see Jasper looking at me intently. I flashed him a smile

"Thanks Jasper" I said

It was frustrating being a newborn vampire. Once your emotions got started, it was really hard to stop them. If not for Jasper, well, who knows what could happen?

Once again my thoughts returned to that hiker. I couldn't believe what I had done. I killed him, and drank his blood. I bet he didn't deserve it, what if he had children? What if I had orphaned some young children? What… what if his wife was pregnant and I had taken away that child's chance to know his or her father.

I truly was a monster.

"Max, it's not your fault, it could have happened to any of us. It is just you being a newborn. Give It time, you don't have to be a monster, you don't have to hurt people. You will drink animals blood like us" Edward said to me

I sighed

"Thanks Edward, but that doesn't mean that I never killed that hiker" I told him, guilt spread through out my voice.

I turned and headed back into the mansion. Why didn't they understand? I was a killer, and nothing was going to change that.

(END OF MAX POV)

Fang hadn't spoken to anyone for days.

Iggy was really worried about him, he had been trying to get him to snap out of this. Fang would barely eat, he would barely sleep.

It's like part of Fang had died with Max.
