Monster
I kept running, and running to find that smell. It was compelling. Intoxicating. I saw a huge figure lying down in the middle of the path in the forest behind the Cullen's house. He was bloody,
and no wonder my mouth was watering. His arm was bent backwards and his eyes were rolling into the back of head. His voice was faint and was whispering a prayer. He had to be a Christian. I heard running behind me.
"Wha… Oh my god! He is bleeding! He is dying! Charlotte!" Rosalie yelled.
"He is? Thank you Sherlock! But he smells so good." I said taking baby steps toward the dying man.
"Don't! Go get Carlisle! He needs help!" Rosalie yelled at me. I was running back to the house half way through her sentence. I ran through the door. The cold chilling wind followed my lead.
"Charlotte? What's wrong?" Carlisle said rushing to me. He looked scared.
"There is a almost dead guy in the woods about… A mile back." I said. He was gone even before I said a mile. Esme ran out, and so did Edward.
"Char…" Edward said.
"What?" I asked. We were running.
"You need a nickname, something shorter than Charlotte." I gave him a confused look.
"Okay, what do you suggest?" I asked playfully.
"Charlie?" He said. I laughed under the circumstances, death and all. We were about almost there.
"I like it. Let's keep it. Eddie." I added.
"Yeah, we can keep yours but not mine." He said seriously. We were at the scene. It was gruesome, but not the worst. My thirst was getting more agitated. Crap. The man was crying, looking at Rosalie, the woman who saved his life. Carlisle was look doubtful on his survival.
"I have to… Just to save him Rose." Carlisle said looking up at Rosalie. She nodded. I didn't understand. Do what exactly? I saw Carlisle bite down on the poor man's neck.
"Don't! You will kill him! He is just dying! Please!" I yelled. Edward picked me up without any difficulty even though I was struggling to win.
"Shh. Charlie. He is going to be fine." He whispered into my ear. I couldn't comprehend. He was going to become this. What I am. It's horrible. Just horrible.
"Please give me something. I'm so thirsty." I said back into his ear. He nodded. Edward put me down.
"Follow me and be quiet." He said softly. I followed him. It took about ten minutes to find something. We found two bears and they were enormous. I couldn't believe it. As fast as lightning, Edward took them both down.
"What the hell?" I yelled. He just shrugged.
"Years of practice. Want some?" He asked coming to me. God he was just gorgeous.
"Yes actually. Cause you people forgot you have a killing spree of a vampire running around the city limits." I said laughing. He laughed too. It was so good to hear his laugh. It put shivers down your spine.
"How do you like it?" He said after he finished his bear. I tasted mine. It was not like that first cup of blood. This one was like a bomb in your system, just exploding. I felt my body shutter from the blood. I was energized. Waiting for the next animal to come strolling along. I heard footsteps, nor human or vampire. It was… Mountain lion. Yum.
"You smell it don't you?" Edward asked me. I just took off, for the second time today. The thrills were just empowering. I took the lion down without a fight. After snapping its fragile neck, the rest was easy. I felt as if I was drunk.
"Oh yeah. That hit the spot." I said with a bloody grin. Edward came and wiped the blood with his sleeve. But I felt there was more.
"I missed something." He said leaning in. I closed my eyes. Three weeks after being changed and I'm getting a vampire boyfriend. Hmm. He kissed me. It wasn't light. It was just pushing; like he wanted more and I couldn't stop from kissing him back. You know, having the ability not to breathe will affect your kissing time and god so it did.
"Um. I think we should get back." I pulled away. He nodded. Nothing. No words about what just happened. We got to the house. Rose was a mess. That's a first for her. Esme was nowhere to be seen. Carlisle was sitting at the unused kitchen table.
"So what happened?" I asked him while sitting down with him. Edward just disappeared into thin air.
"I changed him." He said staring at the mahogany wood of the table. Seeing his reflection.
"That must be hard." I said looking at his reflection.
"It was. When I look into this polished table, I can see my reflection. I see a horrible monster, which does terrible things. What do you see?" He asked me looking up.
"I see the man who saved me, who told me what I was, and who showed me what was wrong and I appreciate that. Without you, half the people in population of Forks would be gone. And I don't know how to repay you. I remember you telling me how you were changed, what you had to go through and what it was like." I said into my own reflection that I couldn't recognize. I looked into his eyes.
"Really, do you truly mean it?" He asked.
"Yes. How is the other newborn?" I asked.
"Fine. He is getting the change. It hurts. Well I think you know that." He said.
"Yeah. Just a bit. He looked at Rose like she was an angel." I said looking at her from across the room. Her head turned in my direction at the mention of her name. She got off the couch and wandered over here. Her attitude in general was on robot. She didn't know what to do or what to say.
"He told me… I was his guardian angel. I couldn't let him die. He was just, so helpless, and I didn't know what to do." She said looking at both of us.
"It's okay Rose. You did the right thing." Edward said. He looked at me like he was ashamed. I left the room in a storm. He followed me into the balcony.
"What's the problem?" I asked him when the door was closed. It didn't matter, they all could hear anyway.
"I don't know. I wanted to have you, kiss you like my own. But it wasn't right." He said looking into the emerging stars.
"I wanted the same. I just thought that since you kissed me, you liked me. But now you're just ignoring me. What did I do? Is it because I'm new?" I looked into the stars too. They were beautiful like a fairy tale would say.
"I… Wanted you so bad. But now I don't. Do you understand that? I like you as a friend. No more. It was just some fake feeling." I wanted to cry, but under my circumstances, I couldn't. Edward took me into his arms. I heard Esme approaching, so did he.
"He has turned! He is awake! Come and see!" She opened the screen door showering us in her excitement. Edward and I looked into each other's eyes, and gave a silent goodbye of being lovers. We walked into the house then up the stairs. The room that he was in was Rosalie's. He had red eyes, just like I did when I was in his state. Black hair was going every which way when he got up. He had new clothes and his wounds were all gone. Completely healed. Rosalie took a step out of the line we were in.
"What's your name?" The question that had shook my world, just as it would his.
"Emmett." He said looking at the angel that saved his life. Complete compassion. Full of love. True love
