And she was gone...
She had left me...
There was a knock on the door. I ignored it. It didn't matter any more.
"Em, come on Em time to go get some mountain lions!!!"
Edwards's happy voice sailed in through the open window.
"Ed, hold on!" Hissed Jazz
"What?"
"He's not going to come..."
"Why not? Oh"
Edward's voice changed as he read my mind.
"Can you tell what's happened?" Edward's voice was sympathetic.
I didn't need or want sympathy, that wasn't going to bring her back. Maybe that's why she left....I was too nice.
I ran up the door and pulled it open so hard that it shattered.
Edward quickly pulled Jasper away. But as they retreated I saw him mouth
"She's gone"
And him saying it made it real.
I collapsed and howled as the pain hit.
When it finally stopped, I found myself curled in a ball on the ground, with Jasper sitting beside me.
"She's gone?" I croaked.
He nodded.
"With him?" I spat
He nodded again.
I stood up and so did he.
"I have to go"
And before he could say anything else or even nod, I ran off. I had never been he most graceful runner, I was more about power then speed, but now I ran quicker then I ever had. I needed to get away from her smell. Soon I had cleared the boundryline and I was in New Mexico. And I kept on running.
So thirsty, I thought, must feast. I stopped by a stream to wash my face and saw my black eyes staring back at me.
I had traveled so far and I no longer knew where I was. The surroundings where familiar, that was bad. Familiar meant I had been there with her. I had stopped saying the name a while ago too. As I continued to run, my vision blurred as my speed picked up, I noticed a sweet smell wafted my way. I stopped dead in my tracks. The smell was the nicest thing I had ever dreamt of. It seemed do familiar and beautiful. It was the smell of warm toast and strawberry jam, a warm bath, honeysuckle; coffee beans freshly ground, the back of the pantry by the butterscotch, pine needles at Christmas, melting honey, sweet roses, cinnamon and fresh country air all in one. But at the same time the scent burned my nose. My moist nose dried out and blistered like it was on fire. Whatever it was it was close.
I crouched in the long grass and a growl escaped my parched throat. It was a human
Smell - the sane part of my brain was fighting against this. But i was going to not going to resist. I was about to jump and kill my prey then i heard her sing.
"In the jungle the mighty jungle the lions sleep tonight, in the jungle the mighty jungle the lions sleep tonight, OOOOEEEEEEE-EE-EE-EE WEE wombombaway!!"
I recognized that voice. Suddenly i was bombarded with a huge amount of memories from when i was human- a girl in a wedding dress, her and her friends in a van, me and her walking down the isle. I looked happy.
Bracing my self i stood up and looked straigt at the girl.
