「撃て」とつぶやくと同時に、紙で指を切った。指を見て傷を確かめる。血が一滴だけ、小さな傷からこぼれる。

これはあっという間におきた出来事だ。

エドワードは私に体当たりし、テーブルの後ろ側に私を追いやった…ピアノのそばの床に私は倒れこみながら、体を支えるために、ガラスの破片の中に本能的に手をついた。手首から腕の中を、刺すような強い痛みが伝わる。めまいを感じつつ、自分の腕からほとり出る鮮血の海から、6人の吸血鬼の熱っぽい眼差しを見上げる。

"Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut.

It all happened very quickly then.

Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table...

I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow.

Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.
