A Blip of Time

A New Moon addition

Preface

I knew I was in over my head, but the allure was simply too much to pass up. In so little time it seemed as though the hole inside of me was gone, but now I could feel the fear and pain of losing that hole I had clung to so eagerly before. It was amazing how two months ago I’d been left alone for my own good and everything had changed. Now I doubted that even if Edward and his family were here it’d make anymore sense. Or anyone would be safe at all.

He’d never meant for me to get near him in the first place, it was obvious. Now the real question was who I thought it mattered to more.

I found myself drowning in the vibrant array of colors in his eyes, no matter how wrong it felt I couldn’t tear mine away. There was simply nothing like them, the shine they seemed to give. Especially at night.

“You shouldn’t be here,” He growled at me. “no more questions, I’m taking you home now.”

I froze when he stepped out of the shadow of the building, when I could see why he’d kept himself away from everyone, especially me. Not just the pupils, but both of his eyes were a dark gray. It was obvious in that moment that the emptiness and suffering I could see in them dwarfed my own. He seemed to be pleading with me to run, to never come back and at the same time ravenously hungry.

I reached my hands out to help and tried to summon words, but the shock was too much. A gust of wind blew from my back, and then he leapt forward.
