"Well hello there. What can I do for you?" asked the hiker. I smiled brightly, flashing him a row of perfect, straight teeth.

"More than you know." I said seductively. His eyes grew wide as he fantasized about me. I didn't need Edward's help to know what was going on in his mind.

"Well than," he said, breathing heavily. "We should make this a little more private. And your name is?" he asked. Well at least your going to ask questions and not just come at me like a perv. That's what everyone else does. I thought.

"Bella." I said. I might as well tell him my real name. Its not like he would be able to ell anyone it after this. He lead me to his tent. s he turned he blew his warm scent towards me. There was no doubt in my mind, and I knew I would not restrain myself.

I was a vampire.

He was my prey.

I followed him to his campsite, my mouth flooding with venom every time the wind blew in the wrong direction.

"After you."I said, opening the tent zipper. He walked inside, and began unbuttoning his shirt. Maybe I was wrong about the whole, "not a perv" thing.

"Oh, that wont be necessary." I said, my eyes glinting with thirst. I think it was then that he realized my eyes were crimson red. He looked at me with a confused expression. I shifted into a crouch, ready to pounce. He took a step back. I leaped, landing on his chest, toppling us both over onto the ground.

"Feisty." he said, a smile playing around the edges of his lips. I could feel his heartbeat speedning up under my hands. I could hear the warm blood pulsing through his veins. My lips curled back over my pearl white teeth, and a look of horror crossed his face.

"Sorry, but I'm married." i said, sinking my teeth into the warm spot on his neck.

"No. Please! Don't-" his cries cut off with a gurgle and he went limp in my arms. I drank and drank until he was completely ran dry. I cant remember. Is it my seventh or eighth human today?

"Bella?" I called out. Its been almost 4 hours, and Carlisle and I still haven't caught up to her. The only thing we found were eight human bodies along the forest floor, completely blood drained.

"At least she's being smart about it." said Carlisle quietly. "Almost all the humans are homeless. They will go unnoticed." I shook my head angrily.

"It doesn't matter, Carlisle! I should have been more responsible with her. What if it was some one she knew? What if it was one of the wolves?" Even the thought of it hurt.

***5 hours earlier***

"Come on, Edward." she whines. I loved the way she said my name in her new bell-like voice. So beautiful.

"Lets run. It way more fun then walking and 'sensing the world around us.'" she made little air quotes.

"Bella, you need to hunt. I don't want you to be in pain." she rolled her eyes and elbowed me playfully.

"When are you going to stop being so over protective? I'm indestructible now. You need to get a new hobby." As she said this, she grabbed my hand and began running.

"Bella, please." I said pulling her to a stop.

"Why? I'm going to the herd of deer u north." she said in an 'isn't it obvious?' sort of tone.

"Oh. Of course." I said, breaking into a sprint.

"I'll race you!" she said hopefully.

"Alright. On your mark, get set-"

"GO!" She shouted, letting go of my hand and racing ahead. She was so graceful. So beautiful. So Bella. I laughed out and ran to catch up to her. She was maybe three or four strides ahead of me. That was when the smell hit me. Oh no. Bella halted to a stop, sniffing the air.

"Bella..." I said slowly.

"They smell... so wonderful." I wrapped her in my arms, constricting her in my grip. But she was stronger. She shifted in my arms, and broke free of my grasp with ease. She raced ahead, towards the smell of pure human blood.

"Bella, don't!" I ran behind her, using all my strength and speed to catch up to her newborn power.

"Bella! Wait!" I pushed forward, two strides behind her. She whipped around to face me, effectively stopping me in my tracks.

"Edward, don't try to stop me. I don't want to hurt you." With that she took off again. I stood there for about half a second, before I took off again.

"Bella, you don't understand. Once you start, you can't stop!" she turned around and faced me, stopping abruptly for the 3rd time.

"What if I don't want to stop, Edward? I need this. All of the others went through this. Why can't I? I'm just so thirsty." She left again, and instead of me following behind her, I raced back towards home.

I was going to need reinforcements.

I ran inside the house. "Carlisle." I said. "I need you." I didn't even stop. I slowed down when I heard Carlisle's footsteps behind me, and then sped up again once we were side by side.

What is it Edward? He thought, concerned.

Wait-where's Bella? he thought, finally noticing I was alone. We were surrounded by the forest now, racing towards Bella scent.

"While we were running toward a herd of deer, we came across a human scent. I couldn't stop her Carlisle. I-I" Carlisle stopped, I wheeled around and stopped in front of him. He placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Lets go find her." And he took off.

***Present***

"Carlisle." I said, he was behind me, on the phone with Esme. "I found something." he was behind me 3/4's of a second later.

"What is it?" He asked, sniffing the air.

"Smell that? It smells like blood...but not human blood...." I trailed off, Carlisle nodding in agreement.

"It smells like elk, or some other form of vegetarian animal." I saw hope flicker in Carlisle's eyes.

"Do you think that Bella..." He said, trying to hide the excitement in his voice.

"I don't smell her." I said, slowly walking forward and finding the dead elk's carcass on the floor. I kneeled beside it and found the human bite marks on its neck.

"It was definitely a vampire, but it doesn't smell like Bella, though her scent is here. It smells like-" just as i was finishing my sentence, Tanya stepped out of the bushes.

"Tanya."Carlisle finished my sentence for me.

What the hell? But there was more than one person behind the bush. I could hear them breathing.

"Its alright their not mad you, Bella." Tanya said. Bella? And with that, Bella came out of the bushes, bloodstained, clothes torn, and covered in dirt.

WHAT THE HELL? The look on my face must have been really confused, because Tanya began explaining quickly.

"Me and Kate were hunting near the border of Canada- don't give me that look! The moose are fatter there and taste better!-when we came acros Bella's scent, we didn't really know it was her scent at the time though. So we started to follow the scent and found Bella feasting on a homeless man." As tanya said this, Bella hung her head in shame. If she could blush, there would be no doubt that her face would be red.

"Bella, why didn't you come home. We wouldn't have been mad at you." I explained gently.

"Oh Tanya, you forgot to mention that one other little detail." said Kate, jumping from above, where she was perched on tree. We all knew she was up there, I don't know why she hid.

"Oh yes," continued Tanya. "You might want to give that little dog friend of yours some medical attention, Carlisle." Tanya sneered in digust when said 'dog friend'. The Denali's weren't very fond of the Quiluete Werewolves.

"Jacob?" asked Carlisle. "Why?" He glanced quickly at Bella when he said this.

"I think you already know why. Our little Bella attacked him while we were running back. We pulled her off him, but he never defended himself. Probably didn't want to hurt Bella." Tanya shrugged it off, like she was talking about going to a party, rather than discussing life or death for Jacob.

"He's probably back at your house by now." Kate said.

"Maybe you two should stay with Bella for a minute. We will go check on Jacob." Carlisle said gravely.

Suddenly, a wolf howled a cry of pain in the distance.
