Yes, Heaven Forbid I Not Be Protected

What Was It That Made This Human Love So Much More Desirable To Me Than The Love Of My Own Kind? Was It Because It Was Exclusive And Capricious? The Souls Offered Love And Acceptance To All. Did I Crave A Greater Challenge?...or Was It Simply Better Somehow? Because These Humans Hate With So Much Fury, Was The Other End Of The Spectrum That They Could Love With More Heart And Zeal And Fire?

From That First Little Touch, The Whole World Had Shifted. Where Before There Was Just One Thing I Could Not Live Without, Now There Were Two. There Was No Division – My Love Was Not Split Between Them Now; It Wasn’t Like That. It Was More Like My Heart Had Grown, Swollen Up To Twice Its Size In That Moment. All That Extra Space, Already Filled. The Increase Was Almost Dizzying.

I Said It Would Be Better If We Weren’t Friends, Not That I Didn’t Want To Be.

I’m Just Going To Do What I Want Now, And Let The Chips Fall Where They May.

You Think Of Me As A... Living Stone - Hard And Cold. That's True. We Are Set The Way We Are, And It Is Very Rare For Us To Experience A Real Change. When That Happens, As When Bella Entered My Life, It Is A Permanent Change. There's No Going Back.
