Friends in Not So Holy Spaces

My mouth was a hairs breadth away from his throat when I felt a small tugging on my back. This pissed me off. I shrugged the annoying piece of shit away from me.

“no…Cat please don’t!” This whispered plea woke me from the thirst. It’s the same as the plea mom had voiced right before I slashed her open. I turned eyes red and throat still burning. Bella’s hand was outstretched to me, and she was trembling, probably from both fear and anxiety.

Without taking my eyes off of Bella, I tightened my grip on Edward’s throat and dragged him over to his beloved. She began to back away, until she stumbled to the ground. I continued to walk towards Bella until I was right on top of her.

Tears were welling in my eyes. I dropped Edward and covered my face with my hands.

“Oh my God, Julia, I-I almost killed another family! Ju-julia, I-” She wrapped her arms around me and drew me into a hug. “Sh,sh calm down Cat. It was a long time ago, we both know it will never happen again, right? Sh,sh.” We stood there my body racking with sobs and trying to put my pieces back together.

I heard footsteps coming towards us. “What happened along time ago?” It was Emmet
