Chapter 5
Several months passed, and I was either in the house or out hunting. I couldn’t go near humans yet, for Carlisle was worried of how I’d react to them.
“Come on, let’s go outside…,” Fallon said.
I stood up and followed her outside. She nodded at Esme, as if telling her where we were going. I closed the door behind me, and I followed Fallon down the hill and through the woods to a beautiful, open meadow. The sun didn’t shine too bright, but just enough to not hurt us and to cast a beautiful, golden glow. Fallon grinned at me, and had I been a human, my heart would have skipped a beat.
She sat down. “I love being out here with you. Everything is just so beautiful…so perfect.”
I sat down next to her, pulling her closer to me. I kissed her softly. “I know.”
I closed my eyes for a moment, but then a strong scent began to overcome me. I twitched my head a little, and the scent became stronger. Fallon smelt it too. She stood up and yelled, “ESME!”
As soon as she did, a small, human girl came into my view. She was picking flowers from the vast fields. I felt my eyes darken, and I lost it. I began to run toward her, Fallon trying her best to hold me back. I was snapping at the air like a wild animal. I wanted to hurt her, to attack her, to kill her, to drink her blood. I wanted it so badly. I knew it was wrong, but I yearned for her blood.
“RUN!,” Fallon yelled at the little girl. “RUN AS FAR AWAY AND AS FAST AS YOU CAN! IT ISN’T SAFE HERE!”
The little girl looked at me and her eyes became huge, and she burst into tears right on the spot, too frightened to move.
“Boys, you get Draco. I’m going to get the child,” I heard a frantic voice say.
I looked over to see Carlisle run over and sweep the little girl up and run fast and far away with her. Jasper, Emmett and Edward all ran over to me, helping to hold me back as I snapped at the air. I felt myself weaken under all the strength, and soon, I couldn’t smell the child anymore. I collapsed in a heap on the ground. I looked over at Fallon, and I could see a tad bit of hurt in her eyes. But it all flickered away as she looked over to Esme and say, “I’m so sorry. I thought he would be fine…I didn’t think anyone was going to come. I’m not even sure where that little girl came from…”
Esme pulled her into a hug, patting the back of her head. “It isn’t your fault, darling…we all thought it was safe, too…”
“Come on, let’s get him back to the house…Carlisle is getting rid of the scent and he said he’ll be back at the house soon,” Edward announced.
The boys all lifted me up and began to carry me to the house. Fallon, Alice, Esme, Bella and Rosalie all followed next to them.
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I’m so sorry…”

“That was the most awful thing I think I’ve ever experienced…,” I confessed to Fallon once we were both alone in our room.
She tucked her legs underneath her as she sat down on the bed, motioning for me to lay my head in her lap. I willingly obliged, letting her run her fingers through my hair.
“You’re still a newborn, it isn’t your fault…,” she told me.
She somehow got over the feeling of being sorry, but I hadn’t. I felt so helpless, even though I didn’t end up actually hurting the girl.
Our eyes locked, and Fallon said, “it’s fine, I promise. All vampires go through that stage. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. If you hadn’t had your gift, it would have been even worse. You knew you were in the wrong, and that’s why even when the girl left, you let it all go. Other vampires would have ran after her. But since you have that indestructible gift, you were able to stay where you were. Your mind told you that you were wrong, and your gift helped you hold it all back. You did amazing. Carlisle was really proud that you held up that well.”
I didn’t understand why he would be proud of me almost attacking a child.
“Don’t worry, Draco. Everything is okay,” Fallon reassured.
I closed my eyes and I felt Fallon kiss both of my eyelids.
“I hope you’re right…,” I replied. |
