A Confederate Cowboy Casanova
Chapter Two: Dangerous Just to see his face
"I have a bit of a rebellious nature."
~ John Cusack
I saw him.
It was for only a moment, but I saw him. His beautiful, unnatural face.
I was an idiot.
I don't know what drove me to do what I did. Normally I wasn't so rebellious, so adventurous, or assertive to jump on the back of an older man's bike and let him take me for a spin. I just wanted to see him again, Edward, my beautiful, sweet, Edward. Was that so wrong? According to Jessica, yes, it was. And now, hours later, down from my adrenaline and Edward high - I have to agree. I didn't know that man! For all I know, he could have been an ax-murderer. But I found it.
The key that would stop driving me insane from not seeing him - to catch a glimpse, to hear his voice but a whisper in my ear, I'd do anything. Jake may be my sun, but Edward was my world. I have Jake teaching me how to ride. The first time on the bikes I found, I saw him. I also almost cracked my skull open the second time.
I gave up the bike. It's been a month. I wanted to see him desperately and I believe I'm about to do something utterly stupid once again. It couldn't be that dangerous, I mean the Pack do it all the time. Besides, it wasn't like this was going to kill me. The leaves crunched beneath my feet as I trudged deeper into the forest, closer to the edge of the cliff where the mainland met the Pacific Ocean. The sea salt clogged the air and cleared my senses.
And then I was there, the Pacific wide and open to me. It stretched for an eternity, an eternity I wanted to venture toward with Edward. I stared into the waves as they crashed into the cliff side. The day was dark and gloomy and for a moment, staring into the dark depths, I felt fear and I wondered. Should I really being doing this? But as quickly as it came, that doubt vanished and I was left with only one option.
If I jump, perhaps Alice will see. If I jump, If I pretend, will he come for me? Can I have my forever? I pulled off my sweater. Stepped to the edge, grabbed my necklace, placed a kiss upon it's glass and released it. Taking a few steps back and I ran and lept. It was like flying, your weightless for only a moment. In that moment, it's nothing but freedom. And then your falling, fast. I met the water with a crash, my throat closing preventing me from swallowing the sea water.
I saw him. He was there, his imperial topaz eyes gazing at me. His beautiful face in a frown. He whispered his disappointment. He had my full attention. That is until the spot of red gathered at the corner of my eye.
Turning, I saw her. Victoria. The red headed vampire out for my blood, for the death of her mate. Her blood red-eyes locked with mine and I felt fear. A deep rooted fear, I was in the water, with her alone. No vampire to stop her, no wolves to protect me. I backed up whipping the image of Edward from me.
The last I saw, was her ravenous eyes before my world turned black.
