Edwards P.O.V

"Edward don't go hunting tonight." Bella begged me to stay with her.

"I have to, I promised Emmett. We haven't eaten in two days." My expression turned remorseful as I tried to explain to her that it would only be a matter of minutes before I was with her again.

She sighed and turned to give me a kiss goodbye. We had been in uninterrupted embrace until I had to withdraw myself due to the smell of her irresistible blood.

"I won't be long." I whispered softly slightly caressing her warm cheek.

I climbed silently out her window, and ran home.

I arrived to find my family in deep conversation. Emmett's thoughts were crowded with images of mountain lion and herds of deer. I snickered at his slight impatience.

I browsed around the room observing my family.

Clearly, they had all hunted this morning. Their eyes were all tinged with amber.

Alice withdrew herself from the current subject the rest of the family were babbling on about, and turned to me.

"If you leave now you will catch a heard of deer that are drinking at the lake." She informed me kindly. It was obvious she had had a vision about it.

"Thank you Alice." I said cheerfully, my voice filled with gratitude. It was great having a sister who could tell you when and where to hunt.

I turned on my heel to find Emmett, who had also withdrawn himself from the conversation. I pondered to myself why, as it was one of his favorite debating subjects. I took a minute to hear what he was thinking; and all that was on his mind were the deer that Alice had mentioned.

I laughed to myself, but then felt a bit sorry for him and quickly indicated that we get a move on.

We soon arrived at the mountains, due to my prompt driving.

Emmett and I got out of the car and inhaled the air which would lead us to where our meal was. One whiff was all it took, and with that Emmett and I were raging through the forest in a southerly direction.

As always, Alice's vision was correct and we found the lake with more that a dozen deer hustling about.

Emmett made the first kill, and we went from there.

After consuming three deer, I had satisfied my hunger and I retreated back to the Volvo without Emmett, who wasn't done yet.

As I waited for him I relaxed listening to Debussy. I wasn't keeping track of time and I don't think it was much longer before I spotted Emmett from a far distance taking his time getting to the car.

"Why is he so slow?" I asked myself, clueless about his abnormal behavior.

As he got closer, I realized that in fact, it was not Emmett.

I know it is short, and I am sorry for that! I have made some mega changes thanks to a few of my reviewers, I had forgotten a few important things and now they are corrected, so please R&R Id love to know what you all think.
