Edward
I was trapped.
Trapped in a life—if it could even be called that—not of my own choosing.
Without his choice, I wouldn't even be… alive. I would have died over a year ago, stricken down by the influenza that had taken my mother and father.
I think I would have preferred that.
But he said it was my mother's dying wish that he help me… save me, as only he could.
He told me that soon I would be able to leave. When the bloodlust had decreased. And then I would be safe.
Safe, but still not free.
A/N: I really struggled with this one. I even did something I told myself I would not do. I peeked at someone else's entry before writing my own. *gasp* But mine is nothing like the one I saw, which I have to go back and read in its entirety; it intrigued me. But, Echoes, I'm so glad you liked this one!
