Emmett and Rosalie's Daughter

[Chapter 3] Painfully Honest

Katherine Meyers

It's been a few weeks since Carlisle has brought me home from the hospital. I've been getting weaker and weaker over the time.

My skin is a sickenly pale and a little green. I'm becoming a bit boney and I can barely walk. I'm basically mummifying.

I desperately need blood. Not animal blood. It weakens and actually kind of kills me.

That's the weird and the part of me that I hate. I actually need human blood to survive. But I can survive off blood bags so I don't actually need to physically drain a human from the vein.

I was currently sitting on the couch. Everyone was here. I love Renesmee so much. She's so adorable. Right now, she was on the Rez with Jacob and the pack.

"How are you feeling, Katherine?" Carlisle asks, sitting next to me.

"Worse." I manage to get out.

He sighs, frustrated. I feel bad. He's been working so hard to find a way to cure me.

"I just don't understand. Your species should have healed you." He says.

I sigh.

"Katherine, do you know anything that could heal you?" Edward asks.

I stay quiet.

"Katherine?" Carlisle asks.

"I do... but it goes against what you believe in." I say.

"What is it?" Esme asks.

"I know the struggle you all deal with, with this." I say.

"Katherine, what is it?" Edward asks.

I sigh.

"Human blood." I say.

Silence.

"A blood bag will heal me. But I haven't said anything because of many reasons. One, the treaty. Two, I know all-- except Carlisle, Bella, and Renesmee-- struggle with the scent." I say.

"Katherine, this is your life." Alice says.

"I'm aware." I say.

Carlisle speeds away then speeds back with a blood bag. I feel my veins coming and gasp, turning away, hiding my face.

"Katherine." Carlisle says.

"No. I'm starving and I can't deal with your reactions of me looking like a monster. Veins come under my eyes and my eyes turn a honey gold color. I'm starving and I'll drain it hungrily. I don't want to be a monster to the only other family I've ever had that I love!" I sob into my jacket.

I felt arms around me. I smell Carlisle's scent.

"None of us judge you, Katherine." Carlisle says.

"It's who you are, Katherine. You can't control that. You're a different species and that comes with it." Rosalie says.

I stay how I am. I hear footsteps approach me as Carlisle let's go of me.

"Katherine, will you please look at me?" I hear Jasper ask.

I peak my eyes out.

"You're hungry. Starving.... you need blood to heal. Not to satisfy a sadistic hunger. It's your life. You need to feed. No one will judge you. Please." Jasper says.

I finally come out from the jacket and turn to Carlisle. I motion for the blood bag and he hands it to me. I slowly pop it open and right as the smell of blood hit my nose, my veins came out out.
