Layla's P.O.V
I woke up and saw no one in the room anymore and decided to walk around the house. I looked out of the great view of the forest and didn't notice that Edward walked out to the balcony.
"Layla, about what happened in Italy-"
"Edward, please. I don't even care. what's done is done and I understand the craving. Believe me. I understand." I had to stop myself and try to clear my thoughts.
"How is it that my gifts are the only one that affect you."
"Because I let you read my thoughts when I want you to." He smiled at that and looked out of the view.
"Edward, I can't do this. I can't live like this-"
"Layla. I know it's hard but the best way is to-"
"Adapt. I was made to adapt. But what? Can I adapt and copy other people's powers?" He looked at me curious.
"Maybe. try to take mine. Think of what I'm thinking. Focus on me, my mind."
I Focused hard on Edward and imagining his mind.
'Layla if you can hear this, I'm truly sorry.' I looked up at him with excitement in his eyes.
"I heard you! And I told you Ed. don't worry about it."
"Did you just call me Ed?" He said smiling at me. I looked over at him and smiled back, trying not to laugh.
"LAYLA!" I looked down from the balcony and saw a bloody Paul. I stepped back from the balcony and could smell him from up here.
"W-What happened?"
"I got in a fight with Sam because he was talking shit about you and I felt it was right to take your back since you weren't there and able to. So, he nipped me in the neck but luckily didn't get my artery. I'm still bleed pretty bad."
"Paul! why did you come here?! You know I'm still working on controling. I can't-"
"Yes you can Layla. You're better than that. Fight it. You have a greater will than they do you wanna know why? Cuz you're a quileite!" I walked away from the balcony, covering my nose and mouth looking at Edward pleading him to help me.
"Layla." I heard and smelled Paul coming up the stairs. Where's Seth?
"Paul-"
"Stay out of it Edward. She's my alpha and my family, if anyone should be helping her, it'll be her family." He looked away from Edward and back at me, showing me his neck.
"See Layla, c'mon you can do this, resist."
"Paul... please. I can't" He walked closer to me, openning his arms to me trying to hug me.
"Paul don't."
"Shut up Edward!" Paul turned to him warningly. I turned quickly about to make a run for it.
He proceded to walk towards me cautiously. He wrapped me around him, hugging my. I stiffened in his grasp. I looked to the right to see his gashing wound right next to me. I couldn't control it anymore!
I gripped onto Paul preparing to bite him.
"Layla..." Paul said trying to snap me out of it but it was too late! I can't control myself!
"Layla! Don't do this! c'mon you can do it if not for Paul, then for me. Do it for me because I know you can. Please." I pulled away slowly and turned around to see Seth smiling at me and opening his arms for me to hug him.
I walked slowly to him, feeling my preditorial instincts (is that even a word?) fade away. Once I felt it wash away, I ran into Seth's arms.
"Seth! I-I did it!!" He spun me around and began to kiss me on my cheeks and neck.
"Yes you did!"
"Ehhumm!" We both completely forgot we weren't alone. I walked over to the Paul who was slowly healing and smiled at him.
"Thanks Pauly!"
"Anytime sis-" I smacked him up side the head and glared at him.
"And that's for not listening to me! I could've killed you,you idiot!" I glared at him. He smiled at me shyly and shrugged his shoulders.
"Worth the risk. Just glad you're getting back to yourself" He said, embracing me in a tight bear hug.
I pulled away and went back to Seth as he wrapped his arm around me and smiled, leaning his cheek on the top of my head.
"Edward? How-How did I do that?!" I turned to look at him for my answers.
"I don't know its like you can turn the preditor side off."
