The pain continued. It fully consumed my existence, and was worse than ever before. Every inch of me was on fire, and when I thought I was sure to finally die from it, I did.

I looked up, seeing for the first time since I could remember. I was surrounded by angels with familiar faces. I had to be dead. The pain that had torn my body apart was gone. I felt nothing. No pain, no weariness, no hunger. I felt unbreakable.

As this new concept passed through my mind, a feeling I did not understand began to form. It was a thirst I did not know could exist. I began to think thoughts I never thought I would think. I lust for the very thing I once found humanly repulsive.

My loves face swam before my eyes, and I finally began to understand his need.

-------------------

I made my way back. My blindness to the world had made me lose track of time.

As I approached the home of my family, the place I feared we would now need to leave behind, thoughts of a newcomer came to me in a set of six. How could I have been gone so long that a visitor managed to make it here without my knowledge?

I walked to the front door and took a deep breath as I turned the handle. When I walked in I saw my family gathered together, all fixated on a single spot in the middle of the room. At the sound of my entrance they broke apart, leaving me looking at the being with blood red eyes.

I stared into her unfamiliar eyes. Before me stood a woman, familiar yet unrecognizable. I knew not what to do or what to say. I just stood there, knowing those around me were waiting silently for my response.

What was it? Anger? Shame? Sorrow? No, I stared at my love, her beauty so different, everything that first brought me to her gone. Yes I was angry at myself for what I had done to her. Yes I was ashamed of the weakness I showed on her behalf. Yes I felt sorrow for the human I had killed.

But there was more love in my cold silent heart than any other emotion combined. I felt the corners of my mouth turn upwards slightly, and I knew she had seen.

"Hello Edward."


A/N: I think this is the end for my first fic. I wasn't planning on continuing, but if anyone wants me too, I can try. Thanks to all who reviewd. It made me fuzzy inside knowing someone was actually reading what I wrote. I am sorry to anyone who found it hard to figure out whos point of view it was in. I didn't want to say flat out who it was, because I did not want to use any names until the end for style purpose. I hope I did an okay job at making it easy to understand who was doing what. I would love to hear anyones suggestions for my writing in the future. I look for every bit of info to make what I do better for the people who read it. Well, this is getting longer than my rather short story, so thanks again to everyone reading this.
