Save Him!

(Rosalie)

I ran faster than I ever had before, pushing the muscles in my legs to where, if I were still human, I would have fainted from exhaustion. My eyes skimmed the lines of trees beside me and my ears listened intently for light footsteps of a deer or some other forest creature.

I began to slow, frustrated that I hadn't found anything. Ugh…

I slowed to a brisk walk and breathed in the clean, mountain air. Never before had I come so far into the wilderness without finding anything to hunt. Something was wrong, but I didn't know what. I continued to walk while a strong breeze picked up among the trees. If I had been a human, the cold air would've chilled me right to the bone; I smiled at the thought that I would never feel uncomfortable again.

After what seemed the span of an hour, the breeze picked up into a harsh, gripping wind that tore through my golden hair, whipping it across my face. I swiped it back and tied it with a ribbon I kept in my pocket for times such as these and sighed, breathing in the sudden stormy air, and that's when I smelt it.

The burst of sweet fragrance that floated on the breeze. With one simple unneeded breath, my whole body became tense with longing. Blood… I smiled to myself, and then began to run, continually sniffing the at the wind.

For a few short minutes, I chased the scent, hoping that I would finally taste the rich, warm liquid. But when, coming to a clearing in the trees, I found the source. It took my obsolete breath away.

A man lay on the ground, barely alive. His arms were thick with muscle and his curly dark hair was a mess atop his head. A few feet away from him, a grizzly bear was trotting away, grunting with agitation. I frowned, holding my nose closed with my left hand, keeping my mouth tightly shut.

I inched closer to the man, slowly…quietly. With one more step, I stood over him and gazed at his pale, bloodied face. His eyes were slightly opened and he stared at me with a helpless expression. He groaned in pain and I went weak.

My every instinct left my body and all I knew was that I couldn't let this man die; I couldn't kill him. My eyes ached as they longed to shed tears that would never come.

"Angel…" came the faint whisper. I looked up to see the man's lips lifted into a slight grin.

I frowned as I realized what I had to do. I dropped to my knees and let my left hand fall from my nose. I crawled over to him and leaned down toward his neck. I opened my mouth and instantly felt the sting of the overwhelming scent hit my tongue and I jumped away, trying to remain under control.

"I can't do it…" I sobbed. Without thinking of the torture it would put me in, I grasped the man's wrists and pulled him up. He was heavy even for my strength but I carried him in my arms anyway as he whispered, "Angel…my angel…" over and over again into my ear. I kept my mouth closed and didn't take any breaths.

When I came within a mile of our house, I called out with my mind, Help me! Save him! and within a few seconds, I heard footsteps and then saw Edward's concerned face.

"What happened?"

"I couldn't do it, Edward. I couldn't save him! I need Carlisle! I need Carlisle to save him!"
