Brooke smiled at Edward when he told her he wasn't leaving her again. Then the bastard from earlier came in with a gun and even though it wouldn't have hurt her Edward stopped her from being shot. Sweet, up until he lunged at the man. "Edward!" she shouted but it was too late, his teeth were in the man's neck and the man was dead. Edward looked up at her with crimson eyes and it wasn't the man she loved looking back at her. This was his vampire instincts and she wasn't fast enough to stop him.
She had fear in her eyes as she looked back at him. "Edward?" she said his name as if it were a question, "You're scaring me..." she said.

"Edward!" "Edward?" "You're scaring me..."
He looked her in the eyes....She was really scared of him. Why the hell did he just do this?! Killing was every thing he didn't want to be...And yet he killed some one. It's been so long....He could still feel the human's blood in his body. Giving him a rush of excitement. He was scared to. Didn't she know he didn't meant to do what he had done. But he saw her in trouble....And that was the only way he knew how to react.
"Brooke....I...Don't know why I did...Oh god...I just killed him...." He was not mad or any thing he was terrified....He backed away from her. He was doing some thing he never wanted....He was turning into some thing he didn't want....A monster...."I'm a...a monster...." Since he has not had to worry about Bella or even his family for a while, Edward was scared that he would do some thing like this eventually...There was no one that would be proud of this...Well maybe Aro, but that was it. Even his family would not like this.....How was he going to keep this from them?
"How...am I going to tell them...? What am I going to tell Carlisle...?" Edward looked down at the dead man's face that was white as a ghost now....Since he was dead....Edward was scared to even face any one else...Let a long his family because of this....."Help me..." He asked for her help as he looked at Brooke....His eyes were red....But he was scared now....He was scared no one would want to be around a killer any more....A monster....

Brooke was scared of what had just happened, but she was scared for Edward more now. "Calm down. I'm right here and we will figure this out together." she said swiftly. Secretly she hoped the man would just pop up again, dust himself off and be on his marry way but she knew that wasn't happening. She walked over to Edward and set a hand on his cheek, "I'm not leaving." she told him softly, "and you are far from a monster. You were being protective." she told him.
'Though you didn't have to be that protective...' she thought. "Let's figure out something to do with him... Lucky for us we are 'dead' and lack anything they can use to find us..." she knelt down to the man and set a hand on his face. "Wasn't him barging in any indication that you shouldn't be an idiot?" she muttered to the corpse, "And then to go and try to shoot me like that... Really?" she knew he couldn't hear her but she couldn't help but ask him that, it required no answer. She looked back at Edward, "He had it coming..." she shrugged simply.

"Calm down. I'm right here and we will figure this out together." "I'm not leaving." "And you are far from a monster. You were being protective."
'Though you didn't have to be that protective...' Edward scoffed as he heard that and looked away from his kill...."Let's figure out something to do with him... Lucky for us we are 'dead' and lack anything they can use to find us..."
"Wasn't him barging in any indication that you shouldn't be an idiot?" "And then to go and try to shoot me like that... Really?" "He had it coming..."
He was no used to being in love with a vampire. That is why his protection instinct kicked in....And stepped in front of Brooke to save her. Still Bella was far from his thoughts right now. All he could think about was Brooke's safety and that she was really alright as she said she was....He glanced back at her as she bent down to the corpse....
"I don't care about him...One less human in this world..." He knew that was not him really talking. Edward was no killer....Even Brooke knew this was gonna be hard on both of them now...But hoping in the back of his mind that she was going to stay there right beside him no matter what happens.....Did he just break another rule.....? No...He knew he had not but he knew it would not matter....Edward just wanted to walk out and forget about it....But when he looked down there were blood on his hands from where the man's blood had rolled down on to...."How can you say I'm not a monster?" He never looked back up at her as he looked down at his trembling hands stained with blood....

"You aren't because monsters don't know how to love the way you do." Brooke told him. She stood up and grabbed his wrist before dragging him to the bathroom. Without another word she turned the sink on and put his hands underneath the running water. She watched as the water ran red and then turned clear before shutting the water off and grabbing a towel off the rack. She dried his hands off before setting the towel down on the counter.
"Don't call yourself a monster." she said as she looked into his crimson colored eyes. "You could never be a monster to me." she told him. Her voice was calming as she spoke to him, she couldn't be mad at him for what had happened. She couldn't be mad at him ever. "I love you and I don't like it when you call yourself that."

"You aren't because monsters don't know how to love the way you do." He looked up at her then....She was right about that. If had any one to thank for his manners on being semi normal...It would be Carlisle & Esme teaching him right from wrong so many years....He was 17 but he was a grown up in so many ways other regular humans could not see...Before he could think she yanked him the bathroom and washed his hands clean for him...The warm water felt so good on his skin....And relaxed his trembling a little...As he then just let her dry his hands with a towel....
"Don't call yourself a monster." "You could never be a monster to me." "I love you and I don't like it when you call yourself that."
"Let's get out of here...Please....Can we just get out of here....? I'm never going to leave you ever again...." He wanted to just forget everything that was taken place tonight. But that was going to take him a long time. And Brooke knew once that he had his taste on human blood nothing would stop from wanting to kill again. He didn't want to admit to her that secretly it felt....good.....He was imaging that human being the one wolf he despised more than any other in Forks....But he knew he could not tell Brooke that...She just told he was not a monster....He wanted to do this to Jacob Black so bad it ached! But he knew it was not gonna happen. If he even tried and succeeded in killing Jacob then Bella would be left alone in this world...And that was some thing he could not do to....

Brooke nodded simply and grabbed his hand, pulling him with her. She stopped when she was beside the body and knelt down beside it. Vampire venom would heal his bite mark and she rubbed her finger over her teeth and then over the man's wound, sealing it instantly. If news got out about an attack like that the Volturi would be out for blood and she didn't need that. It would be a mystery to why a man was drained of his blood without any exterior wounds but at least it wouldnt be pinned on a bit. She stood back up, grabbed her bag again walked out with while holding Edward's hand firmly.
"Let's go." she muttered as they walked out of the hotel. They crossed the street, her hand still firmly gripped his giving him no choice but to follow her as she found her car. "I see you found my car..." she muttered saw his was parked beside her. His car, however was going to have to stay there until he was going to be okay. "Get in." She said as she opened her pasenger side door. She made it seem like he had a choice but really he had only one option, getting into the car.

"Let's go." "I see you found my car..." He looked at the Volvo....He wanted so bad to drive but in his condition she wouldn't let him this time..... "Get in." He nodded and got in the passenger side...What just happened back there? Edward wanted to just forget it all happened. That was going to take some time thought he and Brooke knew it....
He just sat there looking straight forward in all quietness. His eyes never changed back to normal...Was he doomed now? Was he was doomed to live off humans? No...He was not going to let this happen....His hands were clean but he felt ten times worse now than when he was before.......This was gonna take a while....He only wanted to help her not do exactly what he did a few minutes ago.....This is how much he loved her....He'd rather take the blame and punishment than have her go through it....

As soon as he got into the car Brooke got into the driver's seat. Without a second of hesitation her car pulled out of it's parking space and roared to life as it sped out of the parking garage.
The red sports car wove through cars as if it was no big deal, it's speed was unparalleled by any other car on the road and it was soon cleared of the city. When her car was safely away from others she pulled a mirror out of her purse and looked at the color of her eyes. A wide frown appeared across her features at the golden brown color to her eye as well as the purple bruises underneath them.
"Dammit...." she muttered, she had just fed but her emotions and the entire ordeal had worn her out. She shoved the mirror back in the bag and her eyes were back on the road. She was so used to checking her eyes in the mirror that she knew how to handle her driving flawlessly when she did so and her car remained perfectly in it's lane.

"Dammit...."
His eyes were now just pitch black. That was not good at all as he sat there in silence across from her. He heard her fumble with a compact or some thing but didn't do any thing but sit there in silence....He knew she knew to get him as far away from humans as possible....This was suppose to be some thing he did out of love...did she even know that? Surely she knew that. He could just feel it that she knew.
He kept his eyes wide as he looked out the front wind shield of the car...Now would so not be a good time to go back to Forks....He swallowed hard as he felt his throat tighten....As though he was now just hooked. But he was only angry at himself for getting out of hand like he had. "Keep driving...Don't stop..."

The car didn't come to a halt until it reached an all too familiar point in the road. This is where Brooke too him the first time she had to get him away from humans. The small trail leading to a cabin sat before them. "Well, here we are." she muttered. She looked at him and then at the trail before she got out of her car with her bag in hand. She shut the door behind her and waited for Edward to join her.
She knew why he had killed that human, he loved her and didn't want her hurt. She also knew he wasn't used to dating a vampire so his protection instinct was used to guarding a human. She looked at the trail one more time, sniffing for humans. There were none and she was satisfied.

"Well, here we are."
"We can't always come here when there is a problem we can't fix...Some times we need to just accept the mistakes we make...." Edward said as he got out of the car and shut the door. He knew exactly where to go. As he walked up that little trail that led to the cabin they both knew.
"Esme told me that once..." His voice better. He was almost as normal as he was going to get when he sensed no humans in the area...All he sensed was wild life all around them....He grabbed her hand in his and walked with her slowly up to the cabin. He entered first...As he had the saddest eyes when he opened the front door...She would most likely understand that he was not in the mood for any kind of love making tonight. He was so upset with himself that he just killed a human.... Not saying a word he let go of her hand and entered the cabin...He did have something accomplished....His thoughts about Bella were no longer happening right now...All he was thinking of was if Brooke was safe.....He looked around to make sure she was right behind him....Damn this little protection phase he was going through.

"I am aware of that... But until you have the human blood out of your system and can function near humans we are staying here..." she said softly. She walked into the cabin behind him and shut the door. She threw her bag down on the couch and sat sideways in a large plush chair, her feet resting on one of the chairs arms while her head rested on the other arm. She kicked her heels off and took her hair out of it's high ponytail, letting her straightened hair fall all over the place.
She watched him as she sat there. Even when she was alone with another vampire Brooke was filled with human quirks, things she picked up just so that she could inhabit the human world and do her 'thing' she tapped her fingers against her stomach slowly while the other hand played with her hair gently, twirling a few strands around a finger.

"I am aware of that... But until you have the human blood out of your system and can function near humans we are staying here..."
With in mind, he was indeed grounded. He knew she would not let him leave. And he really didn't wanna go any where with out her. The blood in his system was indeed not going away any time soon. He looked down at her and saw her drumming her stomach with her fingers....
"I won't get better over night...Since it's been a while, it will take me a while to let it just drain again...." She would see that he has changed with in a week as well! Esme really talked to him a lot about feeling and just going with them and let them decide what is right....He knew he was in for a long night and so was she. He would most likely get a really bad craving and want it so bad he would try and hurt her to get what he wanted. He hopes she is ready for this....."I hope you're ready for this...."

"I think I can manage... But if you try to hurt me you better not blame me if I use my power to fight back." Brooke muttered, "Though if it helps to know I wouldn't let it get far. Just use it enough to stop you..." she added. It was the only way of self defense Brooke really knew, se could fight sure, but Edward would know her moves before she even made them so there was no point in that. She realized how human like she was acting and the finger tapping stopped, as did the hair twirling. And so did the breathing. As well as any sign of movement.
Except her eyes. Her eyes were glued to him, following his every move. She stopped talking too, rare for her. She was as still as stone as she watched him, she looked like a statue even that is how eerily still she was, until her eyes moved of course. The she looked like a possessed statue.
