"Edward, do not open your mouth right now, trust me it won't go over so well. I'll explain everything later." Alice whispered so fast I thought I'd misunderstood her. Was that even humanly possible to speak that fast? It must have been I guess. I mean…what else could she be? A vampire? Pft.
"Actually, yes." She stated. Huh? I looked questioningly at her, and she smiled. "You said that out loud." She stated with a smirk. I waited for the familiar blush to creep into my face, but I never felt it. Weird. How could I remember everything about me, but nothing about them? That didn't make any sense. "So let me get this straight…you're vampires?" I stated incredulously. She shook her head no. "Oh, okay good. Because I was seriously going to admit you to the nut ward."
"You're also a vampire." She replied, still smirking. What? "No, I'm not. Vampires don't exist." I argued quickly. "Yes they do. We're all vampires." She retaliated. "No they don't. That is ridiculous." I snapped. "Are you thirsty?" She asked. Huh? I was now confused.
"Alice, what is going on?" The bronze haired one asked menacingly. "Edward. That's Edward. The erm…supermodel as you so kindly called her is Rosalie. The one protecting her is Emmett. And the other blonde, is Jasper. My husband." She clarified with a loving smile. Oh, okay this wasn't helping my confusion.
"I don't understand." I whispered, sitting on the floor. "Me either." Edward stated, sitting next to me. I stared at him, trying to remember. I knew I should, and I knew it was a vital part of who I was, but I just…couldn't. "You're still beautiful." He stated, flashing the most beautiful crooked smile I had ever seen. Still beautiful? Oh! This was so damn frustrating!
"Why do I not remember you?" I blurted out, staring at Alice. "It happens sometimes sweetheart. You'll remember by tonight or tomorrow. I promise." She explained quietly. "Aren't you thirsty?" Jasper asked, stepping closer to me. I just stared at him. Why would I be thirsty? "I sense you're afraid, and highly confused, but you don't appear to be thirsty. That's most interesting." He stated. "Would you like to take a run?" He asked almost immediately after. A run? Now? I shrugged, and jumped up. "We'll be back." He said to others, grabbing my hand.
"Jas, that isn't a good idea. You shouldn't go without us. She's a newborn." Edward growled lightly. "Yeah, really Jasper. I got a bad feeling about this. I haven't seen anything yet, but this does not feel good." Alice stated. Jasper shook his head, and headed for the door. "We'll be fine." And with that we were gone. Running was like…flying. It was unbelievably fast, but I wasn't scared. It was like I was born for this. It was as natural as breathing. Had it always been this way? So many questions. I felt as if my brain were going to explode from them all.
We hadn't been gone but maybe ten minutes when I first smelled it. It was unlike anything I'd ever smelled before, my mouth was watering. I almost called out to Jasper, but he was too far ahead so I just changed directions. I followed the scent for about three miles, and then I stopped. I had lost it. I smelled in every direction, searching for it. I had to have it! I started to walk back, but I caught that wonderful smell again and headed straight for it. I hadn't realized what I'd done until it was too late. I pulled away against my mouth's protests, and dropped the body. I backed away, and looked around. Someone was screaming, but no one was here. That was when I realized it was me. I was screaming. I had just killed someone. I had bitten someone, and drank their blood. I killed a human being. I couldn't stop screaming. I had backed up until I hit a tree, and there I knelt, staring in horror at what I'd done.
I raised my hands to cover my face and realized I was covered in blood. It was all over my arms, and my shirt, and my hands. I pulled my shirt off as quickly as possible, and tried to wipe it all away. I had to get it off of me! I had to! I was sobbing, but no tears would come. How could I have done this? This wasn't possible. How could I have killed someone?
