Chapter 2: Edwards P.O.V.
How can everything remind me of her, it's been 70 years, and still everything I do and see reminds me of her. Can vampires go insane? If so, than I hit insane 50 years ago. How could my life still revolve around her so much, she's probably on her deathbed by now, if she's not already dead. But, who can I blame but myself, I built it up, which was wrong in the first place, but then I left. The last memory I have of her is the look on her face when I said I was leaving. If I could sleep, it would be in every single nightmare of mine, her face, her soft brown eyes filled with pain and overflowing with tears, her delicate lips, in which I would kill to have against mine one more time, pushed together in a frown, as if she was trying to stop herself from screaming or crying.
I was pulled back into reality by the burning in my throat, I realised that I could smell a mountain lion, and it was close. I had to give myself up to my senses, which has kind of been like heaven for me lately, I couldn't let myself think of Bella, or I would lose concentration, and my meal. I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe filling all the space in my lungs, even though it was a tad uncomfortable, it calmed me. I opened my eyes, and all my other senses, to my surroundings. A gust of wind blows from the east, I inhale through my nose, smelling the delicious scent of mountain lion. I turn my head in that direction a second before I turn my body, standing there, making sure I have the exact position of the animal, then I lunge into a run, my surroundings a green and brown blur beside me. Then I see it, the mountain lion laying in the shade of a tree, it gently places its head on its folded paws.
I lunged again, racing towards this animal, within a second I have this animal in my hands, I bend down to its expose neck, and only to have it turns its face towards me. I froze, dropping the mountain lion, it gets back onto its feet and turns to me slowly backing away, looking at me with its brown eyes, almost exactly like her. I stumble backwards, hitting a root, I began to fall backwards.
I felt like I was falling in slow motion, I had plenty of time to stick out my arm to stop myself from falling, but I couldn't, or I didn't want to. I hit the ground with a loud thud, but I still lay there, shocked from those eyes. I tried to make my arms move but they wouldn't, I tried to force myself to get up and get the mountain lion before it got away, but at that thought, I felt a pain where my heart should be, a pain like it was ripping. The voice in the back of my head, my voice, was saying 'How could you consider it, those eyes, her eyes, how could you even consider hurting something that resembles her'.
I heard foot steps, maybe a mile or so away, and straight after hear the foot steps, I heard her thoughts. 'Edward, where are you? Edward, I know you're somewhere in here. Edward, answer me', I could hear the panic in her thoughts. A flash of a vision she had filled her mind, and mine. It was of me, lying exactly where I was, with an expression on my face that was a mixture of shock, pain and anger. She was much closer now, and after half a second, she made her way out of some bushes, towards me.
"Oh Edward" she said as she saw my laying on the ground. A picture of my face filled my head, my expression was more pain filled than the one in her vision.
"I am so sorry" she said as she looked at the lion's eyes as it retreated. I could even see a flicker of pain across her face.
She took a deep breath, and stepped closer towards me.
"Edward" she said pausing, making sure I was paying attention. She took another deep breath, "Carlisle thinks it's time". I saw my face again in her thought, this time my eyes were filled with confusion. She took another deep breath, 'Why was she taking so many breathes for? Why cant she just say it', even though I could know what she meant, but that part of my mind was in shock still, I couldn't concentrate enough to read her thoughts. She stepped closer, holding out her hand, offering to help me up, but I remained lying there, I needed to know what she wanted to say before I did anything else.
She took another deep breath, as she lowered her arm, "Edward, we're moving back to Forks"
