Venom Impulsers

The Captured

Venom Impulsers

Pain coded his eyes, as he took the time to mouth these heartbreaking words. "I... am... sorry." I couldn't say anything because blackness devoured me, and I was completely lost.

Chapter 5-The Captured

October 4th 2010-Sunrise

The trees towered over me, and the long grass twisted around me as if it was about to wrap around my neck and strangle me for being so completely dense. I sat there completely ridged and slowly closed my eyes.

His crucial rule that he saved for last, was the one rule that remained recurring in my mind. Every other rule was lost and forgotten. I found myself lost in his words. "And the last rule; drink them dry, do not leave any remaining blood...do not make the same mistake I made."

Edward left blood coursing through my veins; the venom changed me and turned me into this. I was a mistake; I was nothing but dead weight to Edward. I wanted to stand up and leave but I sat there as if the vines held me down in an unbreakable grasp. I snorted. Yea right, blame the vines.

I knew I was just being a coward. I just didn't have the guts to face the truth...or to even face Edward. My brain told me to get up and run before it was too late. Edward would kill me once he realized how much of pain I was. For the little amount of time we've been together I've already got vampires running rampage after us, and not to mention the countless times I've lost control in front of Edward. I felt humiliation just pour down on me like arctic water.

Why couldn't control myself? I thought sadly. Was there something wrong with me?

My body had a mind of its own. It scared me, no terrified me. With the scent of blood, it also brought the loss of sanity. One part of my mind was pleading for me to stop and the other was crazed and yelling at me to continue my hunt. I almost got us killed. I thought horrified. How many vampires are there in this world? Are they all so...aggressive?

I sighed, dropping my head into my hands and breathing in the sweat aroma that still clung onto my shirt. Venom pooled into my mouth as I imagined hunting a human once more, my body slightly shook at the intensity of the need for blood. I let out a frustrated hiss as the burn became more irritable. The very thought of blood almost sent me into frenzy. The urge to kill itself is almost irresistible.

I am a monster.

The sound of crunching leaves distracted me, and I went tense. No...

"Bella" Edward whispered softly. I held myself tighter. I wasn't ready to face him, to see the shame in his eyes.

I didn't look back or respond. I was much too mortified. I bit my lip as I lowered my head and looked at twined hands. I had no idea what to say and I heard Edward walking closer and closer to where I sat on the ground. His muddy shoes soon came into view. I started panicking. He was going to be angry. I broke the rules, I'm a nuisance, a crazed, unruly newborn. I shut my eyes and waited for the pain. Maybe he would kill me; I'd rather that then be alone for all eternally.

"May I sit with you?" Edward asked his voice completely smooth and calm. My eyebrows furred. Wasn't he angry? Not one growl or hiss was heard from him.

Strange...

I hesitantly nodded and cautiously eyed him from the corner of my eye. We sat in silence, both of us frozen like stone. No one moved a muscle, no one breathed, and no one spoke. It seemed like even the forest was holding its breath waiting to see who would make the first move.
