You Jump, I Jump. Right?
Chapter 18
He knelt in front of me. My eyes traced across his face, he had dirty blonde hair which had been styled to perfection. He had captivating golden eyes, like the doctor, which held so much depth and beauty to them.
His eyes too, traced my face, until finally they settled on my eyes. My cloudy, white eyes.
I felt him place a soft hand on mine, and suddenly all my memories flashed before me.
I saw my mum through human eyes, saw me meet my dad for the first time, every touch between Aro and I, every lie I was ever told. Being changed into a vampire, Moore’s eyes boring into mine, stuck in the stocks, electrical shocks running through my body. The betrayal I felt when Aro sold me, the hurt I felt when I was told my mum didn’t want me. Losing my innocence at 9 years old, brought up in a world full of lies and deceit. Running from my family, being told Jasper was my dad, Emmett my brother and Esme my mother.
It all hit me like a ton of bricks.
So I screamed. I thrashed trying to get away from him, when he finally released me I ran. I ran though I had no idea where I was going. I remembered running down stairs, until I hit something solid.
Or rather, someone. Arms held me from escaping, whispering reassurances in my ears. I felt everyone crowded around me, I struggled to break free but my attempts were futile. I recognized the scent, it was Jasper. I felt a feeling of ease spread through me, and I welcomed it, my mind zoning out again.
I was placed onto a sofa, were Jasper held me and told me everything would be alright. I didn’t know which I preferred. When I couldn’t remember the good things of my past, when days past by quickly without me noticing it; or now, being held and loved.
I felt myself grow weak, once again. I knew I was dying, I had overheard Aro and that doctor discussing it, so I thought this was it. I felt myself slip into unconsciousness, I imagined someone waiting for me on the other side, and I welcomed it.
