Death at First Sight

Chapter 1 (Edwards's point of view)

As my hands gripped the edge of the table as I tried to force myself to stay in the chair. The wood was no help thought. My hands crushed the table and I was left with a handful of splinters. Quickly I pulverized the edges, leaving a ragged hole and a pile of shavings on the floor. I knew what would happen now. She would have to sit beside me, and I would have to kill her. The rest of the class, innocent bystanders could not be allowed to leave after seeing what would happen. I would have to destroy the evidence; they would just be collateral damage I tried to convince myself. I flinched at that thought. Never in my too long existence had I killed innocents. And now I planned to slaughter twenty of them at once. That thought alone almost stopped me, but her blood was to strong I knew I could not resist it for long. In just a few short seconds she would sit down just inches away from me. Causing the monster in my head to smile in anticipation.

If I killed the girl first, I would only have 15 or 20 seconds with her before the humans in the room would react. She would not have time to scream or feel pain; I would not kill her cruelly. That much I would give this stranger with her horribly desirable blood that sang to me.

I would have to stop the others from escaping. There was only one realistic exit, the door- if I blocked that they would be trapped. I would have to move fast, very fast so no one had time to scream otherwise if someone heard I would be forced to killed more innocents in this black hour. And her blood would cool, while I murdered the others.

Her scent was punishing me; I had to stop breathing and try to think. I would have to get rid of the witnesses first. As I calculated she kept sneaking glances at me. This made it worse to keep my mind focused. I estimated I could snap five necks per second. I would be quiet and short and most it would take five seconds to end every life in this room. Just long enough for her to see what was coming for her. And long enough for her to feel fear.

As someone opened the door a wave of unscented air wafted across my face, allowing me to think clearly for one short second. In that second I saw two faces in my head, one was the face of what I had become all those years ago, of what I was so tempted to become again now; the red-eyed monster that had killed so many people that I'd stopped counting their numbers. What at the time I saw as justified murders. I told myself I was a killer of other, less powerful monsters. Which although in a way that was true, but when I looked back on that my personal dark ages I thought "who am I to decide who deserved a death sentence".

The other face was Carlisle's. They were so different, there was no resemblance. One was the bright day and the other blackest night. As I watched Carlisle's face I saw that even though he never said or thought it around me that when I came back, my eyes stained with the blood of my victims that he saw disappointed with me. This in all honesty was the worst reaction, I would rather he had shouted at me and refused me back into his family, but instead he welcomed me back with open arms and never said anything. I could still tell he thought this would never happen again, he thought I was better than I was. And he would still love me even after I now proved him wrong. I would prove Carlisle wrong about me. This fact almost hurt as much as the fire in my throat.

Why had she come here! I did not what to become the monster I had been again. I did not did not want to kill a room full of innocents, nor did I want to lose everything I had gained in a lifetime of sacrifice and denial. But her blood was to strong, I knew I could not last much longer.
