Edward was the biggest idiot I had ever met and that included Emmett. That was saying something. How could he fall in love with something he was going to want to kill every minute? How could he risk everything Carlisle had made for us? How could he put me through all of this tacky love he was feeling? And he came in my room at the same moment.
"Hey, idiot. How's your girl's blood?" I asked sarcastically.
I expected him to look angry. Not worried. Not upset.
"I don't deny that I'm an idiot. I don't deny anything. I admit that I was a bit offended that you found me more idiotic than Emmett. That was a low hit. And to answer your questions, the questions that have been haunting me all night, I don't know. I'll try not to let my emotions ruin your day anymore. Please don't be upset with me." He said quietly.
And then he walked away.

It was agony, hearing their thoughts… hearing how I had betrayed them. Rosalie had been the worst by far. I very nearly ripped her head off.
At least WE fell in love with our own species. This is like a human falling in love with a carrot stick! How could he do this? It's disgusting. I bet she doesn't smell great at all. She reeked when I smelled her that one time… We should have set Jasper on her before Edward got all disgustingly in love… that way, he could have killed the brat once and for all…

I must not think of Edward Cullen. I must not think of Edward Cullen. I must not think of Edward Cullen. I must not think of Edward Cullen. I must not think of Edward Cullen… it really was no use. The dreams, the constant thoughts, how he saved me…
I couldn't and wouldn't bother him though. I wouldn't mess up a great friendship. I didn't want to lose him. I realised that things could get very good, or very bad if I told him how I felt. He could feel the same or he could shudder away from me, as he did on the first day. I didn't quite know if I needed him to love me too, or if I just needed him overall. Whatever the case, he just couldn't leave.
The dreams were getting more realistic. Edward was there in every dream. Mike starred occasionally - mostly playing the villain – but they changed daily. Last night's had been a confusing one. Edward and Mike had been fighting over the beautiful Rosalie Hale but Mike won. And then I was there, looking more beautiful then I could have imagined I could ever be, and I killed Mike this time. Rosalie got really angry at me for killing her "brothers" and tried to push me over the edge as well. I had to kill her too. And then pale arms wrapped around my waist and Edward was back, kissing me as I was finally his…
The dream was rather amusing. Rosalie, who always glared at me for no apparent reason (did all of the Cullen family hate me immediately and then become civilised afterwards?) so I didn't feel much remorse when she had to die… and Mike I already fantasised about killing on a daily basis so that part was rather brilliant. When Edward came back though… the feel of his lips on mine… that was what I looked forward to each night.
I didn't have much of a plan for the day. I had a homework assignment. At least that could keep me busy until it was a respectable enough time for my next dream…

Stupid Bella. Stupid Cullens. Stupid life. That was the exact problem, they were all linked together. Since I was stupid enough to go for Bella, Cullen stole her and now I don't have a life. I was slightly pathetic. I was just going to go hiking today, try to get my mind off of things. Sure I had homework, but that could be done another time. Another time when I wasn't focusing so hard on dreaming of ways to cause Cullen pain.
I supposed that I was lucky that my family owned 'Newton's'. It guaranteed that I had some nice equipment. I strapped on my new hiking boots and set off.
It was a relatively nice day, for Forks, anyway.
I wondered what Bella was doing… maybe it had been wrong to hurt her like that. No, not really, no. She deserved it in the end. I walked on, feeling surprisingly alone. The date with Jessica was humiliating. She is the most annoying girl in the planet. Sure, women could be hot sometimes but most were just annoying. I had two very good examples right now…
I heard a strangled cry. There was a lot of wildlife here. There were even more hikers like myself. I had nothing to worry about.
"NO! JASPER!" A horribly familiar voice called.
Crap, the Cullens were here. Too bad I hadn't brought my gun… I smiled. It was strange. One moment I was looking ahead of me, the next, blood was all I could see. Blood that was gushing through my eyes, blinding me. The weight was gone but the fire didn't go out.

"Come on Jasper." Alice sighed. "It's been a week. You won't be able to go to school tomorrow if you don't hunt. Please?" she smiled that radiant smile.
Jasper couldn't say no to Alice.
"All right. I'll be home soon." Jasper smiled.
His black eyes closed and they were kissing. Usually, I learned to ignore them. Now, I had to turn around.
"Please Jasper?" I asked weakly.
"All right. I'm coming." Jasper sighed, breaking away from Alice.
She pouted.
"Have fun!" she called.
Alice danced out of the room.
"Reservation or shall we go further out?" I asked him, once we were outside.
"Reservation. I feel like being with Alice today. I want to come home soon." Jasper said.
"When do you not want to be with her?" I muttered.
We broke into the refreshing run. This is what made being a vampire bearable. The breeze, the speed… it was magnificent. Not words can justify the adrenaline. Although, adrenaline couldn't really describe it. We did this almost every day. It was just a hobby now, a positive in our wicked lives.
Once on the reservation, I gave into my terrible self. I crouched into position and tried to locate the scent. Nothing could even be a fragment of Bella's blood's taste… not that I would know but I could just imagine it now; rich, warm, gushing…
I shook my head and ran after a small herd of deer, leaving Jasper to fend for himself.
The cell phone rang as I pounced.
"EDWARD!" Alice screamed.
"Alice? What is it?" I demanded.
"Jasper… Mike… quick… hiking…" Alice managed to say between squeals.
"I'm on it." I said firmly.
I snapped the phone shut and ran for Mike Newton's life.

I tried to focus on the elk infront of me. The sudden scent was intoxicating. I smelled the blood in the air, the scent of an innocent hiker's blood. I tried to fill my mind with Alice… standing there, looking beautiful. It was no use. I felt the complete ease of the poor bystander. He wasn't a bystander anymore. He was the prey. I was the predator. The fire in my throat burned like the deepest pit of hell. Venom gushed into my mouth.
I thought of Carlisle then. I tried to remain focused. I tried to not kill the poor human. The breakable, warm-blooded human…
There was no Carlisle. There was no Alice. There was no me. There was a monster and its needs. That was all. I pounced on the human, sinking my teeth into its breakable flesh, sucking in the beautiful human blood, letting it gush over my mouth and curing the thirst. Strong hands pulled me back but I didn't notice. I just kept on drinking…
"NO! JASPER!" I heard the faint cry but didn't register the panic in his voice.
Strong hands, which I could only assume was Edward's, pulled me off. I growled viciously and faced him in a crouched position. I then saw his face. It was torn. Between anguish, horror, worry and torture. He smelled the blood obviously. I dropped my arms and ran away, hoping to leave this place and never come back.
