Oh my God I'm going to kill her! Her delicious blood was calling out to me; begging me to feed off of her. I could barely control myself. Her cute eyes looked at me in concern. I took a deep breath, and held it managing to cut the smell off a little bit.
"What do you want?" I asked as coldly as I could without breathing. She looked a little taken aback and guilt appeared in my stomach.
What the hell!? I never feel guilty for anyone! Especially a human! Guilt was then taken over by anger. How dare she make me feel like this? Who does she think she is? Coming along with her, cute brown eyes, and insatiable scent.
"I, um, I'm new here and I couldn't help but see you-" she started rambling and I found myself captured by her voice. She really was adorable.
"Rose?" I almost groaned. I turned around to see Emmett sauntering down the hallway. I looked back at Bella and she almost seemed scared. I grinned. Emmett did have that effect on humans. "Who's this?" he asked, putting his arm around me. I just shrugged. I'd forgotten her name already.
"I'm Bella Swan."
"Chief's daughter?" Emmett asked. She just nodded. I rolled my eyes, bored. Suddenly a door from down the hall opened, causing a draft. The gust of wind blew Bella's hair back and I caught a strong waft of her scent. I froze under Emmett's arm. I clenched my teeth and squeezed my hands into fists, trying my hardest not to kill her right there and then. Emmett must have realised what was happening because he turned me around hastily.
"Well, we should be going. Nice to meet you Bella!" he called, and shoved me roughly down the hall and into an empty classroom. I was going mad from thirst, my throat burning.
"Calm down Rose!" He wrapped his arms tightly around me, not letting me move. I couldn't budge under his muscles and I struggled; futile. I was panting, the need taking over my senses. There wasn't anything more that I would like to do than to go back there and suck her blood.
Oh God.
"Think of what killing her would do. Think of her father! Think of us! We'd have to move again."
"Let me go!" I shouted at Emmett.
"You're stronger than this Rose. You can't kill her. You know that." he whispered in my ear. His words were going straight over my head. I wasn't thinking properly. All I could think of was her beautiful face and scent.
I've never wanted someone so badly in my life.
Suddenly the classroom door slammed open and a furious Edward was standing there. Unfortunately for both of them, opening the door caused Bella's scent to drift in and I went mad again. I raced towards Edward catching him off guard, ignoring Emmett's cries behind me. I took a deep breath and realised Bella was still nearby.
"I can't let you do this Rose!" Edward was suddenly in front of me. Blocking my way. He had always been the fastest out of all of us.
I could still hear the other humans in the cafeteria but it wouldn't be long until the bell for class went. I'm running out of time! I hissed at Edward and he rushed forward, picking me up. I slammed my fists against his back but he was too strong.
"Let me go you bastard!" He ignored me and proceeded to flit at vampire speed out of the school and far, far away. So far away I couldn't smell Bella anymore and I slowly began to go back to myself.
Oh shit, what did I do?
Edward put me down and turned on me angrily.
"I read your thoughts! I knew what you were going to do, what you wanted to do!" he shouted at me loudly in the forest we were in. "You could have jeopardised everything! Why do you have to be so selfish all the time Rose?! Can't you, just for once, think about somebody other than yourself!?"
What is this, pick on Rosalie day? I have got nothing but bullshit from Emmett and now Edward! Give me a break!
"I told you to leave my head alone!" I said pathetically. "And you have no idea how hard that was for me! Did you smell that human?!" I hissed. "I've never wanted somebody's blood more in my life!" Edward was silent for a moment and I paced, angrily.
Stupid Bella. Ruining everything.
"I knew how you felt Rose. Her blood was calling out to me too," he whispered softly. "But I obviously have more self-control." I blinked at him, shocked.
"Excuse me? I have heaps of self-control!" He scoffed at me.
"Oh yeah, clearly! After that little display at school, I can so tell you have more self-control than me." Sarcasm was dripping from his voice.
"She just took me by surprise! I have never met someone who smells that amazing Edward. You can't blame me!" He sighed.
"I don't blame you Rose. But you have to be more careful. I don't think you should come to school for a while."
"What!?" I exclaimed. "How do you expect me to get used to being around her if I don't go to school?" He was silent. "Edward, I'm serious. I'm not leaving Forks! I actually like it here and I'm not letting one little, insignificant human mess this up. Please!" I was practically begging now. It was true, I loved Forks. I finally felt like I had a home here. He still had doubt clear on his face. "You don't call the shots here anyway. Let's go ask Carlisle and Esme and see what they think." I smiled smugly. Yes, that's a good idea. I know Carlisle will give me another chance.
"Fine." I smirked and started running back towards home, following the familiar scents. I knew Edward was behind me because I could hear his faint footsteps on the grass.
We finally got back to our home and I burst through the door. I knew Carlisle was home because he didn't have to work today and Esme was always home.
"Esme! Carlisle! We have something important to discuss!" I called. In a flash both of them were downstairs. Edward was scowling by the door.
"What's wrong Rosalie?' Carlisle asked, looking concerned.
"Rosalie doesn't have self-control." Edward said. I glared at him.
"Shut up!"
"Well it's true!
"You two, be quiet now and tell us what's wrong." Esme said, calming me down slightly.
"There's a new girl who's just moved to Forks from Phoenix. Bella Swan." I said.
"Chief Swan's daughter?" Carlisle asked. I nodded and Esme motioned me to continue.
"Rosalie almost put us all in danger by not being able to control herself. She wanted to kill Bella." Edward said before I could continue. Carlisle and Esme looked at me in shock.
"It's not my fault! Her blood is so enticing…" I trailed off, my throat burning again at the sudden thought of Bella.
"You're thinking about her now!" Edward exploded.
"Keep out of my damn head!" I yelled back.
"Be quiet! Stop acting like children." Esme scolded. I frowned and muttered under my breath but I stopped talking.
"We must just be grateful nothing bad happened." Carlisle said, sighing.
"Yeah because I was there! I had to pick her up and run her away from the school!" Edward added.
"Don't act all innocent Edward! You told me her blood called to you as well!"
"It did, but clearly not as much as it did to you." I bit my lip slightly. Damn you Bella!
"Edward said I should stay off school for a while, but I don't want to. I will be able to control myself this time. I'll just stay away from Bella," Carlisle and Esme seemed to be in deep thought and I felt like panicking. "Please, just give me tomorrow. I don't want to mess up in Forks. I love it here and I don't want to move again so soon. I promise I will be able to control myself." Carlisle nodded.
"Okay, you can go to school tomorrow. But if it's too much for you, you must get away. I don't particularly want to leave Forks either." I grinned triumphantly and Edward groaned.
"Yes! Thank you so much!" I turned to Edward. "And I'll prove you wrong, mark my words. I am not screwing up this time." He nodded at me.
"You better be right. I don't want this girl to die just because you were careless." I frowned.
"Why do you care if she dies or not? She's just another human," I saw hesitation in his eyes and it clicked. "Oh my God! You like her!" I exclaimed.
"Is this true son?" Carlisle asked behind me, sounding shocked.
"No!" he spluttered. "Of course not! I would never put someone in danger like that!" He turned and walked into the piano room.
"Rose, don't push him too far honey." I faced Esme, shock still clear on my face. I don't know why but I felt uneasy and a little bit jealous.
"H-he can't like her, I mean, he just can't!" I stammered.
"If he said he doesn't like her, he doesn't. Just drop it Rose." Carlisle warned. I nodded, not really wanting to keep talking about this anyway. I suddenly heard the tinkering of piano keys and I gasped. Edward hasn't played in years. I felt overwhelmed and went outside. It was just starting to rain, making the forest look beautiful. Its trees shimmering under the drops of water.
My blonde hair was starting to get drenched and I knew I probably looked like a drowned rat but I didn't care. I started to jog through the forest, trying to blank my mind.
I never felt like I had my own privacy with Edward. I know he tries not to but he can't help reading our minds and it's so annoying. There are no secrets with him.
A rustle up ahead brought my attention and the smell of a buck filled my nose. I know I only hunted last night but being around Bella has made my throat burn. If I'm going to survive tomorrow I have to feed twice as much.
Time to hunt!
