?POV

I can already tell that this is going to be a long day. Day's like this are always emotional. Why wouldn't they be? Goodbyes are hard. I can already tell I am about to lose it and I don't want to be around people when I finally do. I look and see that I have more than enough time. With that in mind I decide to use one of the less commonly used bathrooms. I push the door open and it is like a trigger to set off my tears. I stay there for about 15 minutes before picking myself up and drying away my tears. I go to the sink and wash my hands. The door swings open and it is a man.

"Excuse me sir, I think you have the wrong restroom." I tell him in a small voice. I can feel the hairs on my arms stand nearly straight up. Something within me is telling me to run; there is danger. Instead, I stand there locked in place, my back turned to him, locked in place, glancing at him through a mirror.

He cocks his head to the side before speaking, "Oh. I don't think I do."

My eye's meet his in the reflection.

Red.

Hermione was true to her word when she said I had to sleep on the couch. Unfortunately the bond woke me from my sleep so I ended up on the floor clutching Hermione's hand while she slept. Needless to say, I am a wee bit irritable as we go down to breakfast.

"So, are you still pouting like a baby?" she asks.

"I still don't understand how you were the one fawning over someone and yet I am the one that ended up in trouble." I really didn't.

She stops walking and grabs my hand so that I would face her.

"I'm sorry." I hear her whisper.

I honestly hadn't expected her to apologize. So I do what I have wanted to for the last 12 hours. I kiss her. It was a kiss to say that she was forgiven.

"If anything I am sorry for being a jealous. I would like to blame it on the bond but honestly I think it was just me." I tell her.

"Come one. Let's go see the others for breakfast." I tell her. My mood is significantly better as we walk into the great hall. I notice the entire family is there including Cedric and Draco.

"Hey everyone!" Hermione and I say together.

"So" Cedric states. "Draco is a vampire with veela-like allure. I can read minds. What is your special power Hermione?"

"Having patience for prat's like you." Was her retort. Hmm… good one.

I go over to Rosalie and pick up little Henry. I figure it would be best for us to make amends. Rosalie hesitates but hands him to me.

"Hey Henry." I coo at him. He smiles and shows teeth. I can tell he has grown seeing as he is resembling more of a toddler

"EH-WARR!" Ehh close enough. I look over to brag about him saying my name and I see that Alice is in the middle of a vision.

"Alice, Alice what is it?" she comes out of the vision and looks around at all of us with horror on her face.

"Go get Albus. There is a girl. She is about to get attacked. We know her, Edward." I look through the vision and recognize the face through one of Carlisle's memories.

The headmaster runs into the great hall and he and Alice have a whispered conversation about what needs to happen.

"Okay, we are going to have to separate into two groups. One to dead set to rescue the girl and the other the kill the red-eye. Hermione, we are going to need you on the kill team along with Jasper. Jasper will lead him out and Hermione will need to fry him. Edward, Carlisle, Draco, and I will go to rescue her without people noticing." Alice says.

"There is no way in hell I am going to let Hermione go with just Jasper as backup."

"Edward, if there are any more than the two of them or any different pairs more people die and it isn't the red-eye."

"I can handle this." Hermione says looking at me. My logical brain tells me she has faced many more than just this one vampire. She has faced thousands and she is stronger now but I can't…. I just can't let her go.

"Edward we don't have time to argue. Albus do you have the portkey?"

"It is right here. Everyone going put your hands on it. It is going to activate in 30 seconds." We all scramble to get to the dinner plate that he is holding. I feel a hook around my navel and suddenly I am landing at a crowded airport. Being discreet just became a lot harder.

"Okay everyone this is the plan. The girl will go to one of the less crowded bathrooms on the west side of the airport. Draco, your job is to distract the two women who are also attempting to use the bathroom. If you fail they will be killed by the red-eye in less than two seconds. Jasper I need you to chase the red-eye away from the bathroom before he reaches the girl. Make sure you lead him to a secluded area where Hermione will be waiting to fry him. While you are doing that Carlis-"she stops with her eyes glassing over.

"WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" she states and we all make our way to get into our positions. Alice is the first to make it into the bathroom running slightly more than at human pace. Draco is already distracting the two women by using his allure. Jasper goes to head off the vampire but none of us see him. We follow his scent and he is already in the bathroom.

Oh God, Alice! Jaspers thought scream.

Alice is trying to fight him off by herself but the male has the upper hand.

"Forget the plan. Tear him to pieces!" Alice shouts at us.

We descend on the vampire but he is very evasive. That must be his gift. Hermione is using her wand to try to catch him but a wayward curse catches Carlisle instead. She quickly remedies the situation before he can get hurt. Jasper ends up taking off one his arms as Alice jumps on him from behind trying to take off his head. I send him a kick that causes him to twist his body enough to give Alice the leverage she needed. After that, tearing him apart was easy.

"Edward come help me check over the girl. Keep her leg elevated. She is losing too much blood." Carlisle demands and I move to help him.

As I get closer I notice the smell. She smells amazing. It is the most intoxicating smell to ever exist, and I… I am so hungry. I lunge for the girl and get her away from Carlisle. She is mine.

"EDWARD NO!" I hear Alice scream as she rushes into the bathroom but it is too late.

I bite. I suck. I need more. It is so warm. So wonderful. I need more.

I hear Hermione yell something I can't decipher.

Hermione? Oh God… Hermione? What am I doing?! How could I do this? I let the girl go as soon as I hear Hermione's voice. I came to my senses. Suddenly I feel searing pain.

My world goes black.

HPOV

We made a pyre and set the vampire alight using fiendfyre. A feeling of calm washes over me. I wonder if Jasper has something to do with it. I am glad that this experience is over. I hope the girl will recover. It looks like she was pretty badly injured but luckily for her the vampire liked to play with its food before it devoured it. Any later and he would have bit her. We start to head back towards the bathroom to assess the situation when all of the sudden Alice takes off at an inhuman speed.

Note to self: Check to see if these people need to be obliviated.

Jasper and I look at each other and take off after her. Clearly something is wrong. As we approach I hear Alice scream.

"EDWARD NO!"

Edward? What is wrong with Edward?!

I speed up and make it to the bathroom and fling the door open.

I can't breathe.

My heart plummets.

Edward is holding the girl against the wall and drinking from her without abandon.

I feel like I am transported back to battle where my instincts say to kill. I struggle.

"Oh Edward." I sob.

Draco suddenly comes running in and assesses the situation. Before anyone can intercept he points his wand toward Edward.

"Crucio!"

Oh Merlin!

"NO! DRACO STOP!" I will kill you if you don't stop this second.

Draco looks at me and lets the curse go. Edward slumps to the floor.

"Stupefy!" I yell at Edwards's hunched form.

Carlisle runs towards the girl to see what damage was done during the scuffle with Edward.

Edward.

I run to his side. If I could cry tears would be pouring down my face. I look at him frozen in place and notice his eyes have a slightly red hue to them. This is going to kill him. I can see that his face is still twisted in pain from Draco's curse.

"Hermione, grab Edward. We need to get the girl back to Madam Pomfrey." Carlisle shouts.

I gather Edward and we all circle the plate to return home. Draco activates it and we land right in front of the Hogwarts gates. Everyone rushes the infirmary with the injured girl in tow. Instead of following the crowd I bring Edward up to our rooms and ward it so that he can't escape.

"Ennervate."

Edward seems disoriented before locking eyes with me.

"What have I done?" He whispers towards me. I can see the pain in his eyes and it breaks my heart.

"I read about this once I became a vampire, Edward. She was your singer. You didn't have control." I try to remain calm. He looks ready to take his own life.

"I'm a monster" No Edward…. No you're not.

"Edward, you are not a monster! She was your singer! Her blood called to you! You couldn't have known!"

He just stares at me for a moment before pulling me towards him.

"I'm so sorry." He whispers repeatedly as he rocks us back and forth.

APOV

Carlisle looks towards me.

"Alice?" he asks me. He looks at me with a somewhat hopeful expression.

I know exactly what he is asking but it breaks my heart to answer.

"No, I am sorry. It is too late."

Poor Bella…
