Oh my Edward! Can this be true? Am I finally updating Darkness of Twilight: Edward's POV?

Why yes I am readers! I am finally updating this story! XD

So, I'm very sorry that it took me nearly... a month to actually update this story. But, I had a case of writer's block for this story, and for DoT. I mean, I knew what I was going to do in the next chapters - but I had no idea of how to begin the chapters. :(

As you can see - or at least, read - I am back, and I'm going to give writing this new chapter a try. (Basically, I'm going to force my ass here to write out this chapter, and just see how it will go.)

Anyways, I can assure that there will be lots of brooding and thinking done in this chapter.

Now, let's get started!

~Chapter 4~

-Edward Masen-

I straightened up after I had finished drinking the animal at my feet*, sighing to myself rather loudly. How is it that the Cullens can drink from animals? The animal's blood was not as satisfying as human blood, that was for sure. But, if my plan - okay, my and the pixie's plan - was going to work, I had to at least drink one, two at the max, animal, every time I go out on my hunting trips. At least I get to drink human blood after this.

It was a Monday, of a new week. I have been missing from school for over a week, because for me, that's how long I take for my hunting trips, and wait out for my eyes to get dark again. Thankfully though, I would be going back to school on Wednesday, because for me, my eyes just turn black within a day. I just wanted to have some extra humans in my meal before I would be going back.

Plus, it is so easy to fool that secretary, Mrs. Cope, into letting me have a week off.

I wiped off the excess animal blood that was at the corner of my mouth, and wiped the blood off of my hand and onto my pants. After that, I buried the animal carcass, before I turned around and began following the scent of human blood. It led me into the town that I was running around in for the week, and immediately, the first human I caught scent of, was a human female. She looked like she was only in her twenties, and she was walking on the sidewalk, her purse close to her, and surprisingly, she had dark tresses that reminded me of my Isabella back in Forks.

This is going to be so easy. I thought to myself. I stalked the woman, intentionally making noises that made her look up, and made her jump in surprise. "Hello? Is anyone there?" the woman called out, her voice shaky. You have no idea. I thought to myself, a smirk on my face. The woman continued walking, occasionally glancing over in the trees - of where I was hiding, and stalking her. Finally, I had enough of the game I was playing, and when she stopped to answer her phone, I pounced.

I grabbed her from behind, making her drop her phone, and after I simply smashed it by stomping my foot on top of it, I took us both back into the trees, and slammed her hard up against a tree. "W- Who are you?" the woman asked me shakily when she saw me. "I'm death." I stated simply, before I bit into her neck, and began sucking my victim dry. The woman gasped and tried letting out a scream, but her life was being sucked out of her - and quickly too. After I had finished drinking from this woman, I stepped back and watched as the body fell to the ground, the woman's eyes dead and dull - empty of life.

I closed the holes in her neck, making sure that if someone were to find this body, they wouldn't see the two puncture marks. Afterwards, I buried the body from sight, and began snooping through her purse. This was usually how I got my money - rummaging through a woman's purse to find their wallet and steal their dollar bills, and when I drink from a male, I just of course steal their wallet.

Damn; this woman was carrying at least 50 bucks. Sweet. I thought to myself with victory as I pulled out the five ten dollar bills. I put the money in my pocket, and after ripping the purse to shreds, and burying the shreds off in the ground like the body, I ran off to go find my next victim; tonight, I'll at least drink from three people - one male, and another female should do.

I quickly found my male, and already, I could smell the aroma of alcohol. Easy as pie. I smirked, and hid off in the shadows of the alleys, stalking my drunken prey. And of course, being idiotically drunk, the male stumbled down one alleyway, where I was hiding. What a fucking dumbass. I thought, while I hid behind a rank dumpster.

I sprung into action when the drunk stumbled and fell at my feet, and I picked up the idiot before immediately, I sunk my teeth straight into his neck. Drinking him dry in under several seconds or so - a new record for me - I let the body fall to the ground. I found the man's wallet, and cursed when I only found 10 bucks. Must've spent the rest on his alcohol. I thought, sighing. Ah well; I get what I can steal. After I pocketed the money, I immediately moved the trash around in the dumpster, and threw the male's body in there before I hid his body with the trash; good thing I closed up the marks in his neck.

Now, let's go find that last female. I thought to myself, and immediately began finding that last female before I would run back to Forks, and hide off in my apartment for a day. After running around the town, and finding rather unsatisfying females, I came across a woman who seemed to be around 19 or so, with blond hair. Just drink this one and get home, my primal side ordered me, where I ran over to the woman. The woman turned, and there, I froze. The woman was looking at me with brown eyes - eyes that were doe brown, innocent - those eyes reminded me of my Isabella.

"What are you gawking at you, dumbass?" the woman asked me in a snarky tone. Before I could let my prey walk off, I grabbed her and pierced my teeth into her neck, in the shadows thankfully. I drained the woman of her blood, and when I was done, I snatched her wallet and stole the 100 bucks out of it - weird; who the hell is stupid enough to be carrying 100 bucks around? I threw the wallet over my shoulder carelessly, and without a second glance to the dead woman - I was afraid that if I looked into those eyes again, they would remind me of my Isabella - I ran off, heading off in the direction that led to Forks.

While I ran to Forks, I began thinking to myself. I knew that really, I only had a few days left until I would be going on my date with Isabella; I was planning using my mind control on Bella, and take her out on a date this weekend - where we would have some alone time with each other. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stay away from that human girl. I couldn't get her out of my head, I couldn't stop reacting to her in my fantasies - again, I'm a male, and she's a ravishing female; there's going to be plenty of fantasies being made up in my mind - and whenever I'm around Isabella, everything in my head screams at me to make Isabella mine alone, and to keep her with me.

I also couldn't get Alice's visions out of my head. I've roamed this earth for over a century, never finding interest in any woman other than for her blood, and for her body. Yet, in these visions - and one of them that keeps reappearing in that mind of the pixie - I am touching this dark haired vixen, who is a vampire - obviously from the red eye. Though, that could be me with the red eye. But, what about that voice, when the female said my name? That voice sounded oddly familiar...

But, still, none of the Cullens knew that the pixie and I were conspiring with each other. I had a plan, of where that I was going to finally have a mate in my life, and that Alice was helping me by telling me how my plan will turn out in the end. There were plenty of visions that branched out from my decision. One vision was of the dark haired beauty attacking me with a newborn rage. Another was of a girl being slammed against mirrors, relentlessly. One vision was of the Cullens attacking me, and getting ready to rip me to shreds and throwing the pieces into the fire. (It was easy to say that I really didn't like the last one.)

Those visions were of the outcomes that don't end too well. Then, there were other visions, of the outcomes that come out as good ones. One vision, is of course of the dark haired beauty saying my name. Another one is of me being... well, busy ravishing the dark haired beauty over and over in what looked like my apartment. Another vision, was of me kissing this woman, while I could see the gold wedding band on my ring finger from the angle of the vision. The last two visions of the good outcomes were rather... confusing.

The first of the two, was one of me running in a forest, smiling, laughing loudly, and my eyes, they weren't the ruby red that I've had over the past 100 years. My eyes were the Cullen Topaz color, bright, large, and full of joy from whatever had happened in the future of the vision. Now, I did drink an animal earlier, but my "diet" consists of drinking humans, so I'm not considering myself as one of the good vampires, of where I only drink animal blood. But, I don't consider myself as entirely bad; if I drink an animal here and there, then I can maintain my bloodlust towards humans more easily. So don't start thinking that I'm going to become a softie like that pussy of a clan.

As for the second vision - it was even more confusing than the first. In the vision, I was lying in bed - fully clothed, mind you - and sucking on what looked like a bottle. At first, I thought I was drinking grotesque baby formula, and I questioned myself, "Why in the hell am I drinking baby formula, when I'm a vampire?". But then, I saw the slow, slushy movement, and the deep color of red, inside the bottle. So, then I came to the conclusion, that I was sucking blood out of a bottle. That really confused me; why am I drinking blood from a bottle?

Though I am a vampire, and unlike Carlisle - who is a doctor, to keep up the human facade for his clan - I still knew that there were other ways to bring blood into a body. In the human way, there is always the IV method; simply stick the IV in the skin, and start transfusing the blood into the human. As for the vampire method, we could probably drink blood straight from a cup, much like how a human can drink coffee from a mug. But, a bottle? It seems likely that in the vision, I was drinking the blood through the vampire method, only hello - I'm drinking it from a damn bottle like an infant!

After I had seen that vision, and wondered to myself of why I was drinking from a bottle, it never occurred to me that someone else was in that vision with me - and that my hand was clenched around a woman's clothed breast. Alice had shown me the vision a second time, and instead of focusing on the fact that I was sucking on a bottle, and that I was holding onto a breast - obviously, whoever was in the vision with me, it was a female - Alice made me focus on the noise in the background. I listen to the vision closely that played through my mind, and there, I could the faint sound of the female saying, "That's my big strong vampire."

So, after going over the possibilities of my plan, I was stuck on that vision. Whoever was in that vision with me, had to know that I was a vampire, because they would of course see the blood in the bottle. And from the fact that I was holding onto this woman's breast, that probably meant that I knew this woman well enough, and that it seemed she didn't mind of me doing that to her chest.

I halted my thoughts there for now, when I realized that I was now entering Forks finally. I ran through the trees of this town, and came to my apartment building finally. I slowed down to a walk, and went over to the parking lot, and made sure that my motorcycle was fine; before I left last week to go out of town so I could feast, I came back to the apartment to drop off my motorcycle. Satisfied that my motorcycle was intact, I walked up the stairs that led to the second level of the apartment building, and walked inside my apartment.

There, I sat in my bedroom, and endured through the night, thinking to myself.

~*~*~*E&B*~*~*~

(Wednesday)

Finally, it was Wednesday. One whole day away from my Isabella. One whole day of me brooding, of me thinking, of me all by myself in my apartment. It was a tortuous and lonesome day for me. There was nothing that I could honestly do without thinking about my Isabella. Thankfully though was the day I'd make my return to Fork High School.

The morning classes went on tediously, and when it was lunch time, in my mind, I was filled with happiness, and lust, that I would get to be with my Isabella once again. When I entered the cafeteria, it was like Mike Newton was shouting out his plans of how his little group - Isabella included - should go to La Push beach this weekend. Well, that's my cue to step in. I thought to myself. No way was I going to let this human's plans of going over to the wolves' territory, ruin my planned date with Isabella.

"I don't know..." Isabella trailed off when I was behind her. After I placed my strong arms over her body, and leaned over her body, I made my presence known. "Actually..." I began, resting my head on my Isabella's small shoulders. "Bella's going to be with me on that day." I told the group smugly. "Since when?" Crowley asked me boldly. He's probably making that up. Crowley thought to himself.

"Since last night. We called each other and made the plans. Isn't that right, Isabella?" I said the last part to her quietly, making sure that she only heard it. "You made plans with me for the weekend last night, didn't you?" I asked her in my "mind control" voice. My hands, that were resting on top of the table respectably, moved downwards to where her hands were in her lap, and I grabbed both of her hands in mine, and together, we reveled over our first encounter with each other on her first day. "Tell them you made plans with me." I demanded her in my commanding voice.

"Uh, yeah; I did make plans with Edward." Isabella told her friends convincingly, nodding. That's my girl. I thought to myself. "Really?" Jessica asked in shock. Damn her; why does the hottest guy in the school have to take notice of her? I got bigger boobs than she does. Jessica thought bitterly. Au contraire, Miss Chatter-box. my hormonal side thought, rolling its eyes. Jessica does have bigger boobs than my Isabella, but Isabella's tits were one of the many things that I could not keep my eyes off. And personally, I think that Isabella's breasts look much more supple and soft, than Jessica's chest - which by the way, was never so satisfying to me.

"Yes, we did. So, I'm afraid that Isabella won't be able to attend your little trip." I told them, and just to show everyone that Isabella will be mine for the weekend, I kissed her neck possessively in front of her friends, with more flashes of our first encounter going through Isabella's mind, causing her to gasp quietly.

Their faces became red - the girls' thoughts were flood with embarrassment for watching me kiss my Isabella's neck, while the boys' thoughts were filled with rage, of how "controlling" I was of their new play thing. Well, these idiots should've gotten the hint that Isabella was my new girl, and there was no way that she would ever go out with these dumbasses. "She'd rather be called Bella, Masen. Beside, stop thinking that you can now just control what Bella does in her life. Maybe she doesn't want to spend the weekend with you." Wrong move, Newton. I thought to myself.

I growled lowly at Newton, and glowered at him with dark, menacing eyes, and the primal side of me smirked maliciously when Newton cowered away in fear. That's right, prey - back the hell off from me and my babe. The primal side taunted him, laughing out raucously. "I think I call her Isabella if I want to because I believe that by only calling her Bella, it wouldn't do any true justice to her true self - her true, beautiful self." I paused to kiss Isabella's neck once more, and there, in her thoughts - her sweet and dazed thoughts - I could read that she wasn't really paying attention to our argument; she was dazed while watching our encounter over and over every time I touched her.

"And, I think you don't even know if Isabella does really enjoy spending her time with me; you have no right of accusing such a thing!" I snarled at Newton, and flipped him the ever so majestic "bird" and snickered at his shocked face. Bella is so going to side with me; I'll make Masen eat his words. Newton thought to himself smugly, as if he was the better man, and think that Bella was going to side with him over me. Pfft, what a baboon. I thought to myself, scoffing at Newton's pseudo bravery.

"Well, let's just ask Bella." Mike stated, looking over at my Isabella. "Tell him that you like to hang out with me. Get angry at him for treating you like an object, then come join me for lunch." I whispered to her commandingly. And, I knew she was going to obey me; she has been listening to my other commands, so there was no way she was going to actually refuse this one.

"I do like hanging out with Edward, for your information, Mike. And another thing, you absolutely had no right to talk for me, nor did you have the right to treat me like an item; as if I needed your permission of who I hang out with! So, thanks for forgetting about my say in things, and for getting me so pissed off at you; I'll be leaving now to join Edward for lunch." Isabella ranted, where I moved away from her fuming figure. letting her stand up from the table.

I carried her lunch tray, and she carried her book bag, and there we walked away from the table, me desperately trying to hold in my laughter from the table's shocked thoughts of Isabella's anger towards Newton. I wrapped my free around Bella's shoulders, and bent my head down, and whispered in my Isabella's ear, "That's my girl."

When reached the table that I usually sat at before Isabella came to this school, Isabella set her book bag down in one of the chairs at the table, and then obediently turned towards me. I set her tray on the table off to the side, and picked her up by her womanly hips, and sat her down on top of the table, before I hopped up next to her on the table. I moved around so that I had my knee up and made space for my Isabella to sit between my legs.

"Come sit between my legs, Isabella." I demanded her in my mind controlling voice; there's no way she'd come over here willingly. Isabella then scooted over to where I was, and sat between my legs, her back against my chest and abdomen. I wrapped my arms around her chest, making sure that I wouldn't look vulgar and freak her out at the same time, with my hands near her breasts, and I kissed her neck from behind. "Perfection my little Isabella." I purred in her ear.

Isabella then involuntarily moaned quietly, and her head lolled backwards, onto my shoulder, her beautiful eyes fluttering closed. "You enjoy all of this, don't you, my Isabella?" I asked her, drawing small circles onto her shoulders with my long index finger. "Yes." Isabella breathed out, her mouth looking absolutely kissable when her lips were still parted, as if she couldn't breathe through her nose. Does she have any idea just how much I want to fuck her against this table right now, in front of everyone, to show all of them that Isabella Swan is mine, and mine alone? I thought to myself.

"Ahem." Seriously? Now had to be the time for her to interrupt? I thought, while I turned towards the pixie with a glare. Nice glare, Masen. Alice thought, snickering in her mind. "What do you want now, you little pixie?" I asked her; she knew that we had to act like this, for Bella's, the humans', and her family's sake, or otherwise, we would look suspicious and our plan would be ruined.

"Bella; I want her to come sit with my family, and far away from you." Alice growled to me. "Too bad; she's sitting with me today - and she will be for the rest of the school year if I have a say in it." I informed her with a smirk on my face. "Don't you mean she's sitting in between your legs while you have free access in molesting her? I will not let my friend get touched by a disgusting pervert like you." Alice hissed; she was a good actress, I'll give her that.

"I'm not molesting her! And I'm not a pervert!" I snarled back at her. "Don't lie to me, Masen!" Alice growled at me. I stayed silent, gritting my teeth; all a part of the act we needed to set of course. "Now, let Bella out of there, and Stay. Away. From. Her!" Alice screeched at me, her hands fisting together. During our "argument", my Isabella was cowering backwards and further into me; I guess Alice was playing her part well.

Before our arguing could go any further, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Snickering over at the pixie, I helped my Isabella down from her seat, and threw her lunch away into a nearby trashcan. She shouldered her book bag, and then I slipped my hand into hers, while I whispered commandingly,"Walk with me to Biology, Bella."

When she nodded wordlessly, I pulled Bella into my side more firmly, and we walked out of the cafeteria together, the Cullens glaring holes into my retreating figure.

So far, so good.

*Edward does drink animal blood, but since he drinks from humans, he is not a full vegetarian vampire like the Cullen Clan. So, this Edward is still different from SM's Edward.*

Again, very sorry that it took me this long just to get the chapter out. But, I'm glad that the chapter is much longer than previous ones. :)

So, was the chapter good? Did y'all like it?

Please let me know what you thought of the chapter in a review, and eventually, there'll be an update for DoT - finally! We'll finally know how Bella is going to react to Edward's confession...

Bye for now,

~*Lady Lily of Darkness*~
