Chapter 39
They soon found Haley crouched over three dead bodies near their campsite.
She had just finished off the third dead body and her head was in her blood stained hands.
She threw the body to the ground in disgust.
One of the bodies had his neck and body torn open and his was staring wide-eyed at nothing.
His neck had bones poking through which meant that Haley had broken and twisted it before drinking his blood.
The other body had wounds all over his body and his chest and neck were torn open as well and there was a bite mark on part of his neck.
'I can't believe that I did this.' Haley thought. 'What have I done? Alice must have seen what happened by now and my family must hate me now. Why did I have to kill them? Why did I have to be the one to end their lives?'
"Haley." Edward whispered.
Haley turned and groaned when she saw that her family was standing behind her. 'Great now my family knows what I've done. They properly won't ever trust me or even forgive me again. This must have what I should have been like when I was a newborn.'
They noticed that her eyes had turned from her usual silver color to a murky grey color.
There was blood all over her face and in her hair and it stained her clothes.
"Oh Edward I'm so sorry." Haley said. "I….I couldn't stop myself once I tasted their blood. I…. I tried to remember what Jasper taught me about control but once I tasted their blood I couldn't remember how."
Jasper growled and Haley growled back at him.
Carlisle stepped forward. "Haley are you still in control of yourself?"
"Just." Jasper snarled. "I can feel it in her emotions."
Haley snarled at Jasper.
Edward stood in front of her. "Come on Haley let's go home. We'll be able to help you through this."
Haley looked from Edward to the bodies and shook her head. "I don't think I can. I don't think that I can go back with you."
"You have to control yourself Haley." Alice said. "This is not you. You don't drink human blood you drink animal blood. You don't harm humans. Remember what Jasper has taught you."
"Edward she's feeling guilty." Jasper said.
Will took a step forward and flinched as he smelt the blood.
Jasper put his hand on Will's shoulder.
He turned. "Jasper I'm fine. I think I can handle it."
"At least you can." Haley mumbled. "And you're only a newborn. I'm not."
As Jasper took his hand off him Will turned to Haley. "Haley this isn't you. Come with us and we can help you though this mess."
"I can't!" Haley yelled. "After what happened. I…. just can't."
"Haley you must come back with us." Carlisle urged. "We'll look after you."
"I can't come back with you now." Haley said again as she shook her head. "What if I hurt someone else? What then. I can't live with myself if I hurt someone else. What if I hurt Sam, Riley and Alex if they come for a visit? I won't be able to handle that if I ever hurt them."
"You won't hurt anyone if you come back with us. Don't worry we can help you through this." Alice said. "This was just an accident."
Haley shook her head. "This wasn't just an accident. I was tracking the wrong scent. I thought I was tracking a pack of deer but all this time I was tracking them! I…. I tried to control myself and remember what Jasper taught me but my senses just took me over once I tasted the blood. I couldn't control what I was doing. It was like I become someone new when I tasted their blood." She turned back to the dead bodies.
"Haley can you control yourself?" Carlisle asked once again.
"Barely." Jasper said. "I can feel her emotions."
Haley turned and snarled at Jasper and he snarled back at her. "Just because you can feel my emotions doesn't mean that you know what's going on in my head Jasper."
"Haley you must control yourself."
"How can I control myself when I got their sweet blood in me?!"
Edward sighed. "Haley when Bella was human I had to save her by sucking the venom out of her. I had some of her blood. Back then I didn't want her to become what she is today."
Bella nodded.
"But you stopped!" Haley wailed. "You forced yourself to stop drinking her blood so you wouldn't kill her. I didn't. I kept going until I killed each of them."
Will looked at Carlisle as he spoke. "I think I need to change her back for the time being until she is in control of herself."
"Please do! Change me back." Haley said. "I can't take this any longer."
Carlisle nodded. "Yes I think that would be best for her for now."
Will looked at Haley for a second and said. "Done."
All of a sudden Haley started crying.
"Until your sure that you've gained enough control it would be best if you were human at this time." Carlisle said.
Haley nodded.
She went into Will's arms and he ran off with the others behind him.
She looked behind her to see Carlisle and Emmett burying the bodies' deep underground.
