Scales of Twilight[18+][ NEEDS EDITING. READ AT OWN RISK]

The minute I left was the moment I began feeling regret. The voices seemed to scream at me, asking me why I went.

*Don't leave me... Don't go... Come Back, Come back.... come back...*

Over and over, they repeated in chorus inside my head, screaming frantically as they were no longer whispers. With the screams came the mental anguish, and it took everything in me not to explode out of this body and light the skies on fire.

*Tune them out....* I chanted this both mentally and verbally, finding my way back to my home, jumping into my car, and speeding off down the road. I Knew the one place they couldn't reach me, and that was a particular beach cliff, La Push.

I didn't know how long I could last with the white noise in my head, but as soon as I crossed the border, the noises ceased, an explosive sigh of relief escaping my lips.

*Should I kill him?*

It was a genuine mental question that I was considering at the moment, but I knew it wouldn't do me any good; I was almost positive that it would cause me more mental pain and anguish that was very hard to escape. I zoned out to the sounds of the crashing ocean waves as I got out of the car, strolling to a piece of large wood resting in the sand. I sat down, content with the silence in my head, but my heart seemed to be deteriorating on an emotional level. I knew exactly what he was to me, he was what I had been searching millennium for, and now that I found him, it scared me.

I could see it in his face; he mirrored me and my emotions; he wasn't happy, and he wanted nothing more than to end it all so his suffering could cease. I tried many times to end my eternity, only to fail, the only ones I ended up hurting were the beings who cared about me, and even now, they too have passed on.

*Com---ack.... back... Come....*

They muttered away, distorted but ever so eager to mind fuck me, leaning over, clutching my head, feeling the tears run down my cheeks. I wanted to fly away so much at that moment, but I knew there was no escaping this being; I had this ominous feeling that he would find me, just like I found him.

I  stayed hunched over with my arms wrapped around my head for hours, listening to the waves crash rhythmically against the shore, falling into a dreamless sleep.

"Hey...Are you alright?" I was aware that someone was speaking to me, but I made no effort to acknowledge the person. I lifted my head and looked around to notice that the sky had long ago lost its light and that the temperature had dropped. I looked around, seeing that two figures were standing on either side of me, burly with long hair. Neither of them was dressed appropriately for the weather, but why would they need to? I could smell the earth's prowlers; they w
wolves shifters.

"What do you want? I was taking a nap." I felt my lips pull down into a slight frown, my brow raised as I looked on in confusion.

"You're not out here trying to kill yourself, are you? you've been out here fr more than eight hours, unmoving." The voice came from the man on my right. He was older, strong, determined, and hothead to boot, yet I could genuinely tell that he was worried, but I smelled something else underneath; Suspicion.

I stared at him for a long while, flickering my eyes back to the younger male on my left, pursing my lips currently deep in thought.

*I Wonder....*

"I'm perfectly fine. Do you two have names, by any chance?" I tilted my head to the side as I waited for an answer. they glanced at each other for a moment before they looked back at me. " I'm Sam Uely." He held his hand out to me, which I took without much resistance. I then turned to the one on the left, staring at him, waiting for him to say something; anything would have sufficed.

"Jacob Black." He was straight to the point and wasn't very friendly. I frowned again, getting up, not even bothering to bat an eyelash in his direction anymore.

"Well, Jacob, Sam, farewell."  I waved as I made my way back to my car, driving off without another glance in their direction.

I was dreading going back home because I knew the moment I passed over the border to forks, I'd be bombarded again by the whispering landmines.

So, instead, I decided to make my way to Port Angelis to take my mind off my current predicament.

****

I wandered around aimlessly for a long while, window shopping in silence, that is, if nothing caught my eye. When I expected silence to my ears and mind was when the voices came full force, screaming at me to come closer.

I became disoriented as I walked into one of the boutiques, frowning as the screaming words just became distorted.

I had picked up a dress that I knew would suit my figure and my melanated skin beautifully, holding the dress to my body with much effort. I had closed my eyes for a moment and rested my head against the mirror, gasping loudly, unable to catch my breath. When I heard the voice of the one who caused it all did I freeze, holding my breath.

"Hello? Miss?"He almost seemed to purr as he spoke to me, though I could hear the mild concern in his voice as he wondered what the hell was going on with me. Reluctantly, my eyes met churning anxious golden orbs, my held breath coming out in a wheeze. No matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't look away from them.

It seemed as though time had stopped altogether, the outside world falling away as we gazed at each other in silence.

My eyes widened in recognition, his in disbelief, adoration, and wonder.

"I-I... I'm---" I couldn't even speak correctly, my thoughts utterly incoherent, my words a jumbled up mess in my mind.

*Stay....*

Were the only words that I heard the whispers say before I saw recognition in his eyes. Unconsciously, his fingers reached out to brush the knuckles of my hand that had a death grip on the hanger of the dress I was thinking about buying.

As soon as his cold flesh met mine, a robust electric current passed between us. The feeling could be explained as if I had touched a door handle only to get shocked.

Alarm and surprised changed his features, his fingers closing over my knuckles slowly before I decided it was time to yank my hand away.

Thankfully I was saved.

"Hey, uh Edward.... are you...?" I Heard the voice trail off, my eyes flickering over to the woman I had seen earlier today.

It was Bella, along with two others I vaguely recognized.

My eyes darted back to Edward again, noticing the frustrated expression on his face; when his eyes met mine again, I watched the adoration bloom in his golden irises, a crocked smile wiping the memory of the heavy frown that I had seen on his face.

"I'm sorry if  I startled you. My name is Edward Cullen." He tilted his head a bit as he watched me, just like the others in his family did.

I looked down at the dress I held in a death grip before placing it back on the rack, walking out of the store.

*"That was her, the woman from my vision."*

****

A foul mood claimed me as I raced down the road like a bat flying out of hell. Here I was doing y very best to avoid him, and I ended up in his presence.

*Bloody fucking hell...if I could, I'd blow my head off.*

The screams were ruthless, paining me so much that I wanted to scream.

The only reason I fought screaming out my anguish was for the poor innocent and young ears around me, though it looked like I wasn't going to have much of a choice. If I couldn't drown them out by ignoring them, then I'd scream with them.

Hurridly, I parked my car in y driveway before I stumbled, utterly disoriented again, my hands clutching either side of my head.

*Come... Back... Come back... COME BACK! COME BACK!!*

They became louder until the voices became too much to handle.

With a deep inhale, I lifted my head and screamed.
