Emotions Run Wild

‘Light through the darkness is profound attraction’. That was how I felt about Scarlet. Through the dark I had found her, she had helped me to overcome my own darkness and yet I was allowing her to succumb to that same darkness. But if I refused she would die with our child and I would fall back farther into the blackness waiting to envelop me into its embrace again.

I had spent hours reading her poetry through the door. I knew why Carlisle didn’t want me in there while she changed, but I couldn’t bring to contemplate living without her or even going so far as to live without her. Scarlet had quickly become my everything.

I wasn’t left alone outside her door. Emmett stood not far away from me; head cocked to the side as he listened to the words come from my mouth. I knew he was there to restrain me from entering and although I wanted too; I wanted to hold Scarlet’s hand and comfort her through the change, I respected Carlisle’s advice. I would remain outside the door for three days until the change was complete.
