Edward
I lay in the cot burning up, the fever was eating away at me, I knew death would come, I could feel it. My father had died late last night, I had cried myself to sleep that night, my mother was on the verge of death, I could hear her ragged breathing from the cot next to me. A cold hand touched my forehead, it was colder than normal, but that could have been the fever. I looked up to see Dr Cullen's golden eyes staring down at me. He murmured under his breath and took some notes, I had always found Dr Cullen odd, he seemed to have some unnatural beauty, he was so careful, and he never got tired. Now he was worried and annoyed. I did not know how I knew this but I did, something told me, something whispered in my ear.
I fell into a deep sleep that night, the world faded from my mind as I wandered alone in the darkness, I could hear my mothers screams for me but however fast I ran I could never find here. I awoke crying and breathing heavily, "My mother" I gasped and Dr Cullen pointed at her, she was sleeping peacefully
"She's fine, don't worry, try and get some more sleep" he said gently. I tried but I was too scared of hearing my mother's screams echoing around my head again. I pretended to be asleep but I knew Dr Cullen knew I was not asleep, but he said nothing.
I finally fell asleep, this time it was undisturbed, but to peaceful, something must be wrong. I dragged my mind back to reality and listened to my mother talking to Dr Cullen, I could not hear all her words but I did hear a few
"Save only you" he voice was quiet and fading fast, no! she could not be dying. I lied to myself in an attempt for some peace. An hour later I saw his face twist in pain and he took another note.
"Edward, I am afraid you mother has passed away, I am so sorry" he said gravely. I felt the tears pouring down my face,
"No" I cried and he gently held my hand as I sobbed.
"Edward, I can save you, I promised your mother I would." H began to push my cot out of the ward, I was so consumed by pain I did not care where he was taking me. I heard him speaking to a nurse before we were in the open air. He picked me up and began to run. The wind rushed past my face at terrifying speeds. When he finally put me down I flinched away from him.
"Sorry" he said quietly before the pain started.
His teeth sunk into my skin I felt him try to pull away, the fire started then spreading through my veins, my body shook and I let out a scream of pain, what was he doing to me, why? I felt him ripping at my skin as he pulled away, he held my hand and told me everything in the 2 days I burned, when the fire ceased I thought it must be a lie, maybe I was in hell. Then I opened my eyes...
