Baby Isabella Cullen

Chapter 2: Leaving

Edward's POV

After the fire at the explosion let out Emmett and Jasper put back Chief Swan's wife back at the scene then we ran home.

Two days, two days we have been in Forks,Washington and already we have witnessed their beloved Chief and wife die in a explosive car accident. Then we save there child from being killed by two mountain lions. To top it all off I tried to make their child a meal.

Why out of all places did we have to come to place where a mere infant tests my control for human blood than no other human. The flush of her cheeks made my mouth water and my throat burst into flames that I didn't even realize what I was doing until Carlisle calmed me down.

"Edward, son are you coming inside?"

For the past 80 years no blood has ever tempted and taunted me like that child in our living room right now. I was ashamed to tell Carlisle that I couldn't handle my thirst and I was more disappointed in myself to have almost ruined the life he introduced to me. I didn't want to hurt the child, but I don't think my control was at it's best.

"Edward, you won't hurt her." Alice tiny voice spoke from inside with everyone cooing over the baby, leaving Carlisle and myself outside.

"Son, I believe you have the strength to handle your thirst but if it's too much for you you may leave if you wish." Carlisle voice was always tainted with authority and pride that I looked up to him as a father, and no one wanted to disappoint their father.

"I can control myself Carlisle." I said wishing I could take back my words, because right when we took a step inside the house, my family's scent swirled around the room but the only smell that caught my attention was the tiny girl in Esme's arms looking around at everything around her.

When she noticed all the attention of my family's watchful eyes her cheecks once again blushed a bright red causing my thoart to go into flames.

I didn't know if the child looked at me because of my staring at her cheeks or if it was for the groan I let out when her cheeks turned red, but when her eyes caught sight of mine her whole expression changed.

One minute she was just staring at me and being content in Esme's arms, the next she's fussing around with tears in her eyes.

No one knew what she wanted and Esme's thoughts were turning panicked,

'Oh God, please please beautiful little baby stop crying.'

"Esme may I hold her," Alice's tiny voice said with a hint of smugness in her eyes.

"Umm I guess you can Alice, be careful with her, for her age she is really tiny and fragile." Esme said after deliberating the pros and cons of giving the baby to hyper Alice.

I didn't know what Alice was trying to accomplish by taking the child, because the thing just kept fussing around and her thoughts weren't any help, because she was constantly thinking of Jasper in ways I wish I didn't see.

Only Alice didn't hold the child for long, she just skipped towards me and in one swift movement the child was in my arms.

"Alice I don't think it's a very good idea to give Edward the child, his thirst is not in control."

"Jazz I know what I'm doing" I'm not sure Alice did. I think the little pixie has gone completely mad for handing me the one human, whose blood is driving me crazy. Before I could speak my thoughts Rose beat me to it.

"The hell you know what your doing, don't you see Edward's eyes they were black from just seeing Bella afar now there pitch black, and your telling me that you know what you're doing, my as-"

"ROSE" Esme scolded

Being Rose she didn't listen and went directly towards me with the intention of taking the child out of my arms before I devoured her as my next meal, but right before she reached me Alice blocked her way.

"Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock Cullen if you don't move right this instant I swear I will-"

"Shut up for a second Rose and just listen ."

"Listen to what?" Rose said with a sneer

"If you stop interrupting I can tell you, now please tell me if you hear any fussing." Alice replied with a smirk clear in her face

Right then all attention was brought to the baby in my arms playing with my hand the whole time.

"She stopped fussing around" Carlisle stated the obvious

"Why??" Rose said with clear jealousy in her voice.

"She likes Edward, if it isn't obvious Rosalie"

With all eyes on her the baby looked up at me and blushed a deeper red then I all the times I seen her blush and after that I couldn't handle my thirst anymore.

Apparently everyone else realized that because in half a second the baby was out of my arms and in Esme's next to the t.v with Alice and Rosalie guarding her.

All the while Jasper and Emmett were holding my hands down while Carlisle tried to talk some sense into me and I felt Jasper's power try to calm me but I was in to deep.

The monster that I have been trying to hold in since I seen the child enjoyed this moment of weakness in me. It fed from it and fueled my need for the child's blood. Her blood was calling me and only me, I wanted to taste her sweet blood, I wanted it to the very last drop. The fact that my brothers were holding down my thrashing and angered body trying to inch closer to the baby brought out the animal in me and the need to destroy what was keeping me from my prey.

I don't know what happened, but the next thing I know is that I'm being thrown over to a tree deep in the forest. Without the thing's intoxicating blood overwhelming me I was able to think clearly and come to my sense and realize that I had been fighting and trying to sink my teeth into my brothers' necks.

Quickly I got out of my fighting stance and welcomed Jasper gift.

"Damn Edward almost had my neck"

"Jasper, is he calm," "Yes but I would be on edge, his thirst is still there."

Slowly Carlisle started walking towards me but before he could reach me I ran.

I ran away from my father, brothers, sisters, mother, and the child who brought out the part of me that tried to kill my own family.

I ran and didn't stop and no one tried to stop me either.

The last thing I heard was Carlisle thoughts.

'Come back when your ready son.'
