Chapter 1: Realizing

Bella's POV

I was just getting ready to go hunting with my big bear of a brother, Emmett, and my angel-like soul mate, Edward.

I slid off my breath-taking, beautiful wedding ring. I was always trying to improve on my hunting so I could be as good as Edward. So I took off my shiny ring and put it in my mini skirt pocket-courtesy of Alice. Hey, you never know. A deer might catch sight of it glimmering and run away.

Once my hands were free, I snatched Edwards hand, looked up at his black eyes and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yup. We just have to wait for Emmett."

I shot a warning look over at Emmett, which he apparently didn't catch.

He was antagonizing a raccoon that chewed a large whole in his shoe. Emmett started to make disturbing faces at it, yelling, hissing, etc. You know… the normal Emmett stuff.

"EMMETT!!!!!" Edward and I both screamed in unison.

"Sorry, guys. Gosh can't someone around her have a little fun?" he moped.

"I'm sorry but I really want to get back in time for Dancing with the Vampires." I said.

They both laughed.

I caught a sent in the air of a herd of elks. Alright, I thought this'll have to do.

"Edward, I'm just gonna stay close o.k.?" I said.

"That fine with me, love. I'm just going to out a little farther." he said. "Lets meet here when were done."

"Should we tell Emmett?" What a stupid question.

"No. Who knows what he's gotten himself into. We'll just leave him be for now and have Rosalie come searching for him later."

"Okey-Dokey" I said.

Of course I was getting dazzled by him because I never say "okey-dokey".

Our lips came together for a sweet good-bye kiss. It took all of my strength, and Edward's, to keep it short and simple.

I followed the rich and tangy smell of the elk grazing in a near by meadow.

I spotted the elk that I wanted and lunged from behind a tree, my throat burning. Perfect! I didn't hear the usual rip of my clothes and I wasn't on the ground, yet. I was proud of myself for improving on hunting.

Once I drained that elk, I brought down another one. When the fire burned out, I ran over to our meeting spot. Edward wasn't there yet. Oh well… he's probably having fun catching some mountain lions.

While standing there I heard a loud roar. It sounded like a bear, and it sounded pretty close…

All of a sudden, Emmett came running (faster than a human but not as fast as a vampire) with a bear several feet behind him. I busted out laughing and then paid attention.

Emmett backed from the front of the bear to reach out and scream, "I've got your nose!"

The bear let out a fierce roar and swipe his claws inches away from Emmett's face. Well, I'm glad Emmett was having his fun! I put my hands on my hips and shook my head. That boy gets himself into so much trouble!

Emmett and the bear were out of sight and I was still waiting for Edward. Since I was done hunting I went to my pocket to grab my wedding ring. Surprisingly I loved to wear it and I missed having it on my finger!

I stuck my hand in the small pocket and searched around. I came up empty!

I search the other pocket. I came up empty!

Oh My God! Wear the hell was my wedding ring!!!!!

I looked everywhere around me! I retraced my steps back to the small meadow. I couldn't find it!

Oh crap, crap, crap! My stomach filled up with butterflies. This ring meant so much to Edward. I mean come on, it was his Mom's!!! Well, maybe he wouldn't be mad at me. He was forgiving and so selfless. Maybe if I don't tell him, he won't figure out! I'll have to be careful and not lift my shield until I find it. Okay, calm down Bella. Everthing will be fine.

"Hello, love." the sweet voice said.

"H-hey. How w-was your h-h-hunt?" I stammered. Stop it! You need to act like nothing's wrong!

"Bella? Are you alright?" he asked.

"Perfect" I lied.
