N/A: Ok, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 2: Memories

The pain! There is nothing like this. My very veins are on fire. Everything burns.

Edward? Where is he? He promised me he'd never leave me again. WHERE IS HE???!!!

He's back. He's at my side. Suddenly, the pain is all the more bearable, because of him. I hear a scream. It is a blood-curdling one. I see Edward's terrified expression, and I understand it- the scream is my scream.

I don't know how long I have been lying here. This basement looks darker and lonelier every day. It feels like years since he bit me. Years of torture. How much longer can this go on? Alice said only three days, but I know I've been here longer than that. I know I have.

The pain makes everything clearer. At the beginning, it was like I was under a haze. It brought back painful memories of James. And then there was fire. And now, there is fire, needles, and him. His voice, his very being, is the only thing keeping me going. There is only him.

N/A: What did you think? I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this, so review, and maybe I'll work it out!!
