Love Bites Part 10

Cullen's P.O.V.

It has been a few hours since I woke up in the damp, dark room. My hunger was crazy! The man had brought in a bowl of blood every half hour. I was always hungry but NEVER this hungry. The taste of copper still lingered in my mouth and my stomach growled. The door creaked open and he walked back in with more blood.
"I have made you stronger. I have given you food and kept you alive. Now I am going to give you my memories," He pulled up a chair, cut the rope on my wrists, and handed me the bowl. I took it cautiously, "My name is Marshall. I am the last of my family because of hunters. When I was newly made, my family was slaughtered like a pack of animals." His eyes glistened with tears and he ran his hand through his black hair. I had already sucked down the blood and listened with awe.
"My creator hid me away and fought off the hunters. He was killed right in front of me. My best friend, and soon to be wife, said goodbye to me when she untied me from my chair. She kissed me and when she pulled back... " He choked on his words and I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. I don't know what came over me but I felt attached to him.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
The man shook his head and went on.
"She fell into my arms. She had already been stabbed. She had used the last of her strength to save me and say that she loved me." He cried softly and I felt like a child as I hugged him. I was the child hugging my stressed and depressed father.
"You turned me so you wouldn't have to be alone anymore." It was more of a statement than a question. He nodded and I smiled at him.
"I would be honored to be part of your family. But..." I waited until he looked at me," I must know who these hunters are...." He looked at me questioningly and wiped his eyes.
"Why???" I smiled and shrugged. They hurt him and I needed to know who they were. They hurt my father and killed the family I could have had. And the mother I could have had.
"I am going to kill them," His eyes widened in shock as I stood up, "all of them."
