He wasn't waiting for me after class which was unusual. Typically his beautiful happy face would greet me at the door, and then we'd promenade out to his car. Departing from school didn't usually feel like departing from each other, even if we drove separate cars on the very rare occasion. He'd walk me to my car, kiss me on the cheek and once I'd get home, he'd have already arrived at my house. Okay more like he'd appear at my house.
Today was not my typical day. For some reason he was not here. I hadn't seen him all day and come to think of it, I hadn't seen any of his gorgeous siblings. I turned the corner to journey on to my truck in the school's parking lot, and was disappointed yet again to be left empty handed. What on earth is going on? I thought. Then I got into my car and pulled the door shut. I started the engine and began to pull out of my schools lot, depressed and confused.
Checking over my shoulder so I could back up, I noticed something in the bed of my truck. There was what appeared to be a gift wrapped box and a note pinned to the top with ribbons and a pretty bow. Instead of stopping now, I decided to wait till I got home to open the parcel. Hmmm. I contemplated what it could've been for its size. I came up blank. Well it's not my birthday and it's not a holiday… I have no idea. It was about the size of a bowling ball and perfectly square.
I pulled into the driveway of the house I shared with Charlie. I swung open the heavy door and hopped down to open up the gift. The card simply read in a fancy script: "Regards". From the writing I knew it wasn't my Edward or anybody else I knew. After a few minutes of pondering, my curiosity got the best of me and I started to unbound the gift, and all of its gift wrapped glory. Before lifting the lid to see what was inside I suddenly recalled the phrase: "curiosity killed the cat" and paused for a moment before lifting the lid off completely.
A blood curdling scream escaped my throat and I stared down at the most horrible nightmarish object I could've ever seen in any horror movie. There in the box sat Edward's severed head. The sky became menacingly dark and through my tears I saw them. They were unmistakably identifiable. The three figures emerging from the woods began to stalk over to my house-their sinister eyes glowing red…Blood red.
