Crime Does Pay
She was dead, officially.
Her eyes were closed and her body was still. He could no longer hear the sound of heart, pounding away in her chest. Something had been lost from the appeal of her scent- there was no blood calling to him.
At least she'd stopped screaming. It had nearly killed him as well, watching her there, her cries ripping into him and sending waves of suffering throughout his body. Seeing her writhing and in pain from something he had caused almost sent him over the edge.
Thou shall not kill.
He'd committed a sin, one of many.
One more self-centered transgression.
It could possibly be worth it. Taking away her life and for what?
His own selfishness? His desire to give her anything?
He closed his eyes for a moment, clasped the bridge of his nose with two fingers.
Then he heard a small sound, sort of a sigh, and her delicate but colorless eyelids fluttered open, revealing the blood red irises beneath.
And suddenly there was nothing remotely immoral with his wrongdoing. There was nothing but her and the fact that he would have her forever.
And before she could react he was leaning over her and kissing her hungrily, no longer concerned with breaking her, hurting her.
He moved his lips to her neck and another sound escaped her lips.
"Edward," she breathed happily.
He wondered briefly how she could be so excited to be dead, to no longer have a life or a heart or a soul.
But then her finger tangled in his hair as she pulled him closer and he realized he didn't care.
Crime does pay.
