Ok. *deep breath* So to say that following fragile is nerve-wracking is an understatement. Not only is she a fabulous writer (duh!) but her chapters are going to be IMMENSELY more fun than mine for at least the next month. Because Bella doesn't know Edward's still alive. So she's off on her merry way enjoying all the sumptuous men life has to offer her. Edward on the other hand . . . well, we don't call him EmoE for nothing.
Anyway, if you can put up with the angst for a few chapters I promise you he will get better. :) And without further apologies or ado, I give you the teaser for EmoE's first chapter, Choosing a Path:
He would have been happier to remain in the lab all night, basking in the blissful silence of that near empty building. It was one of the few places he could go and be alone, not forced to hear the thoughts of every person around him. He had few memories of his human life, but from the moment he had woken as a vampire, he had been assailed by the thoughts of others. Constantly shouting their petty desires, their trivial dramas or the inane minutia of their days, the thoughts of the people around him hammered their way into his brain incessantly. It was only at night or in isolation that there was some relief.
Unfortunately, seclusion was not good for Edward. He brooded. He sulked. He eventually thought of her, the goddess whom he had adored ages ago: the elusive, exquisite Isabella Swan. But thoughts of Bella and the life he had hoped to share with her invariably led to thoughts of her betrayal and the anger those memories invoked. Thoughts of Bella were a perpetual temptation to embrace his evil side.
The playlist song is "As The World Falls Down" by David Bowie:
Well, I hope you're intrigued by Edward and all the pain he's about to share with you. I'm very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts (pun totally intend) on Wednesday.
