A/N: The… short awaited sequel is here! The only thing I have to say is that, in my Twilight world, vamps can sleep. I know I said they couldn't in Vengeance, but it just makes the story so much easier to write right now…Sorry to anyone who does not like that.

Disclaimer: No, it has not changed since the last story! I do not own Twilight! And this will NOT be on the rest of the chapters. Once is enough!

Hunting

BPOV

3 months later…

We were all sitting on the couch in the living room watching a movie that none of us really cared about watching. It was some stupid-funny movie. You know, those movies with no plot but are so funny you watch them anyway… Yeah, this time none of us were, though. Emmet looked bored out of his mind (nothing different there…), Rose was leaning against him staring off into her own perfect world, Alice was laying across Jasper's lap and staring at the ceiling, and Jasper looked like he was trying to keep himself from entering a spiraling pit of despair from the unhappy emotions around him. Edward had his head in the crook of my neck and my head was resting on his. I was practically asleep when that annoying burning decided that now was not the time to sleep.

I sighed and lifted my head. I tried to get up without disturbing Edward, but the effort was useless. Any time I did something, he seemed to know about it. I didn't really mind, though. I knew he was just trying to keep his promise to me.

Flashback

"At least he's not alone anymore," I said.

"No, I'm not. And neither are you," Edward said. "And you never will be, ever again."

I would never forget that he said that, and I let him keep that promise every day. I didn't feel complete without him around, so him being around all the time was something I was not going to argue over.

"Where are you going?" He said as he reached for me.

I smiled and chuckled. "Hunting. Apparently I'm thirsty, so I'm going to quench it before it gets too bad."

"Okay. Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all."

"Good, since I was going to come anyway."

"Why would I say no?"

He stood there and thought about what I had said.

"I-I don't really know…"

I laughed and grabbed his hand. "Oh, come on."

I led him outside and we ran into the woods. I loved the feeling of the wind rushing through my hair. It was exhilarating! I laughed loud and Edward joined me in my sweet ecstasy. We kept running until we got close to one of the more recently populated clearings.

We stopped just outside the clearing and knelt down below the bushes. I could hear quite a large herd in front of us. Today was our lucky day. The wind was blowing our scents away from the deer, which kept them oblivious to our arrival. I took a chance and peaked through the brush.

Jackpot.

There were at least twenty deer in front of us, the biggest herd I had ever seen. Edward looked through, as well.

You can say that again.

I retreated back behind the bushes and twirled the ring on my left hand. It became a habit when I was anxious. Edward drew back as well and laughed silently when he saw me doing that.

You must need it pretty bad to be doing that.

No, I just still get a little rush, that's all.

I stopped and concentrated on finding the one I wanted.

There.

A strong doe was feeding a little to the left of the rest. She was one of three that didn't have a baby, so she was my only choice. I still wouldn't kill a mother or her baby. Emmet called me a sap, but I just couldn't.

I moved down a little so that I was right behind her. Edward moved the other way, finding his target, as well.

Ready? I asked.

Yes, and you?

Let's go.

We looked at each other and nodded our heads. We leapt out of our hiding place and went after our targets. I got mine down quickly and looked over to where Edward was. He had gotten his down, as well. I looked back at mine and took what I needed. When I was finished, I got up and looked around. The rest of the herd had scattered when we entered, so we were alone now. I heard Edward walk over and he wrapped his arms around me from behind. I leaned back into him and sighed.

"Well, that was productive," he said in my ear.

I chuckled and closed my eyes. It was so relaxing, standing in the middle of the woods with the love of your eternal life. I sighed again. I felt myself slowly being lowered to the ground and didn't bother to open my eyes. I felt Edward lay down right next to me and throw his arm across my stomach.

We laid like that for a few minutes until something changed. I don't know what it was, but something was different, and it wasn't good. I opened my eyes and looked around, but couldn't see anything from the ground. I looked at Edward. His eyes were closed, but from the set of his face I could tell he noticed it, too. He huffed and opened his eyes.

"You know, I was very comfortable until someone decided they wanted to do something stupid. Shall we find out?"

"Yeah. I don't like it, Edward. Something is seriously up. It's not good, either."

He got up and offered me his hand. I took it and we went to the edge of the clearing. We still couldn't see anything and I was getting really antsy.

"Why don't we split up and look around? We'll keep in touch and if we don't find anything, we'll meet back here." I asked.

It seemed only logical to look for the cause of the disturbance. If it was vamp related, it would have to be stopped anyway. I knew Edward wouldn't like the idea of splitting up, but it was the only way to cover ground more quickly. He was hesitating, as expected.

"Fine. But we are not staying out here forever. We'll search for ten minutes and then meet here. Got it?"

I gave him a mock salute and said "Sir, yes, sir!" in the most military-like tone I could manage. He cracked a small smile and we went off I opposite directions.

I ran as quietly as I could so I would still be able to hear for anything out of the ordinary. I scanned as I ran, but still didn't see anything. I was really getting frustrated now. I stopped and looked around me.

Nothing.

I walked at a normal pace for a minute and stopped dead in my tracks. I knew what was wrong now. I could smell it.

Edward, I think I found what was wrong, I thought as I continued to walk slowly forward.

What? What is it?

I broke through the line of trees and was blinded by the sight before me.

Fire.
