A/N

I know I have another story on here that I never finished.

I don't know if I will finish it. I have been thinking about offering it up if anyone wants to continue it. I don't know if anyone would even want to do that.

There will be explicit content and I know some stories have been taken down because of it but I will go ahead and post and will just have to wait and see if it gets found out.

There is nothing explicit in this chapter.

Also, let me know if it is hard to read, as in spacing.

I had been lingering on this earth for the last 90 years, not including my little time as a young human man of 20 years old. Time only seemed to be growing slower with each passing year. When you have been living as long as I have time really holds no meaning, why should it. As a human with each year you recognize that you are getting older and subconsciously realize closer to death but that was not the case for me. I would forever remain in my youthful appearance and I would walk this earn until the planet itself turned to dust so not even the changing of the seasons interested me. In the beginning, when I had been changed, I tried to find the beauty in things and appreciate the life I had been giving. The man who had changed me hated this life and felt damned, I didn't want to be that person, I told myself what to embrace the life I had been given.

I lived alone in a modest home, at least modest for my kind; money hardly played any role in my life. I had collected a decent amount over my years through work and investments and now I had enough secured that I could simply light a small pile on fire it wouldn't matter. With the money I had I bought the surrounding land around my home. The land went on for miles and dense forest scattered the entire the land. It was a difficult terrain with thick brush, old trees and steep slopes. There was nothing anyone could do with the land so I was sure someone would be glad to receive a decent amount of money to have it taken off their hands. Such a pity because it was truly a lovely place on all accounts.

I had never felt the need to leave the grounds of my home and venture out into the world that surrounded me. No, I had seen it all, experienced most of it and now was bored with what the world offered me. The world was changing in a direction I simply didn't care to follow. There was only one thing left that still got me excited, that still made my long ago dead heart flutter in my chest. It was the hunt.

It was true that the world around me was changing, you could ask any vampire that was old enough to watch it happen. It was not simply the technology change, it was the land itself. It was becoming smaller and smaller with each year. This presented me with quite the life style challenge. There were many of my kind that loved the way things had changed and indulged themselves in the benefits. To be perfectly honest, it was true, getting someone to feed off of had never been easier. I could simply walk into any city, any town, any bar and choose. There was a time when this was new and exciting and I indulged regularly. I practically lived in a buffet, I would gorge myself with blood each and every day. It was satisfying but it was boring.

It was 20 years or so back that I had decided to change things to fit my life style. The times were not going to slow down for me or come to a halt because it made my meal time less enjoyable. No, I had to change my world, create a new one for myself. That's when I had bought my home and all the land surrounding it with only a dream in my mind. I built what I called my own great wall of china around my home; except it was the great wall of Forks. To make anything great in Forks took no effort at all because there was nothing great about Forks except the weather.

I had built the walls on the perimeter of my land, high and sleek as glass. No man could climb these walls nor could they destroy them. They were absolutely perfect.

There were others like me around Forks, you would be surprised to imagine how many of us there were out there mingling beside you. We did a good job at it to, until someone realized that we sucked the blood out of people to survive.

It was with the help of my friend Jasper that I was able to put the ball in motion.

Jasper had come around my way occasionally, I preferred to be alone but when it came to Jasper I didn't mind his company. He had been around as long as I had and it was nice to reminisce about the old times. Jasper had been in the war so he had a certain appreciation, as I did, for the hunt. Yes, we were to vampires of the same kind.

It was one day as we were standing on my front porch that I seized the opportunity to speak with him, I was walking him out of my house, accompanying him as he was about to leave when I decided to throw my proposal out there to him.

"Jasper, do you ever miss the art of the hunt.? I mean, the thrill of being so close to something, always in arms reach but just missing it to only heighten the pleasure of finally getting it"? My eyes gleamed with remembrance as the old feelings over took me.

His mouth twitched to a smirk, "that I do. That's what I loved about the war. you knew they were out there desperately trying not to be seen but I could smell them and feel them around me. It made me feel alive again. To run through the fields trying to catch someone, always hearing their feet pounding at the ground as they ran, their heart beat quickening as they felt you approaching. I could even smell the sweat that would coat them as they tried to force there bodies to continue fighting, running, hiding. I would find them and catch them, naturally, but it was a time I could allow myself to be taken over by the animal inside me".

I smiled at what he had said, he knew exactly what I craved. That's why I trusted Jasper."I want that back, Jasper", I said with a grin on my face.

He slapped me on the back and simply told me, "that's the ways things were Edward, not so much anymore".

"I know it seems that way but what if we decided to take the choice back.? I want you to help me Jasper. You're one of the few people I trust and you share the feelings I do. My plan could benefit you too...it could bring those feelings back". I stared at him pleadingly to hear me out.

He simply looked at me to let me know to continue. I have never been known as a man to be taken lightly. I didn't do things without thinking of them well ahead so Jasper knew that what ever I would say I had thought about it already and that he was simply a piece of that missing.

"As you have noticed, my house is quite secluded from the rest of the public and the walls around my home makes it impossible for any human to get in or out. It would be like a game of sorts. I would need you to be someone to help me bring humans in, lure them to my home and once you have gotten them here let the games begin. I have plenty of land on all sides of my home, spanning miles. We bring the hunt to us".

Jasper snickered to himself. I suppose he was picturing all of this in his head and to be honest it sounded silly but it would be a beautiful plan once it was all played out.

I continued, "It's simple, they run and we chase. There is no chance for them to escape so in the end it is a win-win deal for us. We are guaranteed a meal but we also get the adventure back and the rush, something that has been missing".

He was watching the sky darken on the horizon while he thought about it. "okay" he spoke up, "where do I fit into this whole game of yours? I can be certain that you have already figured that out, am I wrong"?

"No, you are quite right actually. I need you to lure them onto the property. I have been residing in Forks far too long to be walking the streets. If I was to go outside of these confines I would surely cause some suspicion. You, on the other hand, have only be here a few short years. Bring people back here, and you and I can play. I can either pay you Jasper or you can join in on the games".

Jasper let out a loud booming laughter while running his hand through his dirty blonde hair leaving pieces sticking up in its tracks.

"Well, Edward. It does seem like quite a plan, I will admit. When do we begin"?

"You are a true friend, Jasper. Tonight would be a good night as any, wouldn't you say? Lure two humans here and we shall play".

Jasper simply smiled down at his shoes, chuckling a little to himself as he shook his head before he was running towards town.

I returned to the house and ended up in my living room. I sat on the over stuffed leather couch and propped my feet up on the table. I smiled to myself at my own genius plan. You were always a creative young men. I said to myself. It was true, I never let life tell me what I was and wasn't going to do. I never got the choice whether or not I wanted this life or not and I will be damned if I will let anyone choose what I decide to do with it.

I heard a quick rap at the door but did not bother to stand. I knew who it was and she would not bother to wait for me to open the door anyhow.
