Clashing Sun

Awaken

The pain finally stopped and I calmed down. I looked at everything and everything seemed awaken and rejuvenated. I look down at my own self and noticed my skin had gone silky pale white. I felt around my mouth and jaw where my fangs shifted uncomfortably into shape. I stood, faster than I wanted to and hit a tree. it didn't hurt, he tree actually broke from the pressure.

I heard the smallest movement of leaves and turned to see where the immortal creature who had done this stood.

"I am truly sorry. I...I didn't mean for this to happen."

"This is amazing. it is the best thing that could ever happen."

"But you don't understand. the Volturi wants to keep a low profile and the more vampires there are the harder it is to do that. I...I must kill you."

"No. No! I didn't become this just so I could die, I didn't come this close to seeing my Edward again to give it up."

"Then you shall be a worthy foe."

"I hope my blood was enough, because it will be the last you taste."

He lunged at me and I tried to move aside he caught me by my shoulder and managed to ground me. he was in top and his teeth centimeters away from my neck. I put all my strength into it and pushed him back where he hit a tree and it cracked on the base. he picked up and swung at me.

I dodged it and the Cullen house took most of the blow.

He now ran behind me, I was a newborn and faster so I ran and planned a stealth attack. I ran behind some bushes and waited for him to catch my scent. my plan was that when he found me he would jump out and I would lunge for his neck. it wasn't much of a plan but it was the best I could do.

I heard the leaves rustle. I readied myself for him but instead he tackled from behind. he opened his fangs and lunged for my neck, I rolled and he missed. I took advantage of his blunder and sunk my teeth into his neck tearing it off.

I fell back and stared at his dismantled body. I leaned from the Cullens they are never dead unless burned so I searched the woods for house until I came upon a dropped lighter. I lit the body on fire and walked away.

My next step was to find Edward. even if my earlier thoughts of him moving on were true I needed to know for myself. it might be a painful truth but I was ready to take it.
