The last time that Edward asked me to better come quick, I ended up turning Anastasia. Now he is once again saying this, and as before it involves my beloved. But this time she has been in a battle which we both knew will lead to someone's death. If I should find that anything has happened to her, then I shall take this dagger and ram it straight through my own heart.
As I turn the corner there is a slight bit of hesitation in me. But it is not hesitation, it is fear. The last time I felt fear was the night when my Maker came to me with the offer of immortality. This, unlike most Vampires, is a life I chose. I was not turned by accident, nor was I ill and nor was I dying. I wanted to become what I am today.
