Chapter 9

The cell became my new home for weeks on end, I don't even remember what being in the real world was like, all of my humanity, little that was left, had been stripped from me. I'm starving to the point of death. It's been at least two weeks since I've fed.

The volturi forced me to drink human blood, so I become thirstier faster and only get to feed every three or four weeks. It's all worth it though, human blood is so rich. The feeling of the warm liquid slowly moving down my throat made my mouth water.

"Mmm" I thought to myself.

I was sitting in the corner of my cell.

"Blonde" Heidi said.

I snapped my teeth at her.

"Calm down Blondie, I know you're thirsty. Here" She said throwing in a young man. Probably 18 or 19. I smiled evilly at him and ran to toward him and drank. The burning was quickly erased. I pulled out of the throat whipped my mouth then went back to the corner.

His body lie on the dirt floor, His heart tried to beat but there was no way that I could have turned him. I sat and felt like crying. I hated living off humans, but I couldn't stop. It was like a drug. Addictive. There was no going back to animal blood now.

Moments passed, where I just sat there with my bloody hands covering my face. I was ashamed, of what I had become. I was this un-human, monster, predator, and killer. I heard small footsteps every now and then.

"Hello?" I called.
There was always no answer to my calls, but I thought if I kept asking, someone who eventually answer, right?

No.

The footsteps were becoming louder and faster, almost in sync like a heartbeat.

A heartbeat.

I turned away from the bars; I went over to the boy on the floor.

I turned him, in this cell. With no more blood available. How was the volturi going to react? Probably death in the two of us.

Or worse…
