*Fighting Thirst*

Edward's POV:

The smell of Bella's blood pains me. When she gets a paper cut or falls and scrapes her knee, the smell of her blood makes my throat burn like I'm inhaling flames.

Sometimes my thirst for her blood is so bad that I want to say to hell with the vegan lifestyle my family and I live.

I want to push her down onto the nearest available surface and taste her blood, even drain her of it until I stop feeling like I swallowed a handful of razors.

But then I look into her eyes and see her love for me. In that moment I know Bella deserves so much better than me.

The end.
