POV Jasper

Prologue

A wave of awe washed over my senses as I moved closer to my chosen prey. She stared at me, eyes wide in amazement. My natural vampire defences overwhelmed me. Venom was now flowing freely in my mouth. The frenzy had already begun. I could smell her blood, sweet and flowing, underneath her skin. My mouth was watering. The hectic frenzy must have showed in my eyes because there was now a fresh wave of terror that was muddled with the girl's awe as she continued to stare, locked in my gaze. She was so young, her whole life ahead of her.

Despair began to leak into my thoughts as I moved closer to her. I wished deeply that I did not have a hunger that caused the end of so many innocent lives. Might as well get it over with, I thought sadly to myself. I let instincts take over as my steel grasp tightened around her frail shoulders. My teeth began to sink into her tanned neck and began to subconsciously quench my thirst. Despair and helplessness roared over me and my emotions as my prey twitched in my grasp, far beyond hope. The familiar haze of misery slowly set over me as I slowly walked away.
