He watched her as she slept. The rhythmic rise and fall of her chest each time the breath left her lungs gave him a small measure of comfort. He'd kept her secret hidden from their friends as asked. He'd watched her every day for weeks, knowing deep down she'd been getting progressively more careless as her inner demons tormented her mind.

She hadn't seen him watching as she'd dragged the soulless monster she'd called her only true friend roughly across her skin. The cold metal left her gorgeous porcelain skin marred and torn open. Her very life source seeped from the wound, racing freely down her arm to drip from her fingers and gather in a pool on the floor- dark red and taunting him to save her before she gave her final breath to the world.

She could hate him after she woke up.

At least she'd still have her life.

Author's Note:

So… the angst bunnies are swarming again. And I was already told by my twin I'm not allowed to kill anyone who isn't a Cullen…. Which TECHNICALLY… she IS… just not here in these stories… and not in my head… ;)

Anyways… this is the first of ten…. They're angst-y… and a few are really short like this one… some are long… but they will end on a happy note…. Yeah… I'm done. Lemme know what y'all think…
