New Light

CHAPTER 40: Hunting Party

Carlisle and Emmett are planning on going hunting tonight. I was upstairs with Alice and Renesmee when I overheard them asking Edward to go, I ran down stairs and I heard Edward's reply.

"I don't know, Bella..." he started, at that moment to stop him missing out, I ran into the room, with Renesmee close on my heels, she not as fast as a normal vampire but fast enough to keep up.

"I don't mind have fun!" I interupted, he spun round to face me and i saw Carlisle and Emmett smile. "We can manage one night without you, Can't we Renesmee?" I asked Renesmee looking down and smiling at her.

"Yes dad, you should go" she smild at Edward, then up at me, with me still smiling. I could see the worry in his eyes, he didn't really want to leave us.

"Are you sure?" he asked almost pleading.

"Yes!" we both replied together. I heard Emmett and Carlisle chuckle quietly behind him, then Emmett stepped forward and put his hand on Edward's shoulder.

"Well Thats settled, come on" Emmett let go of Edward shoulder and turned toward the door with Carlisle following him close behind, they both darted out the door. Edward however darted in front of me. He pulled me close into a hug and whispered in my ear.

"Are you absolutly sure?" He whispered.

"Its only for one night and you'll be having too much fun to miss me!" I smiled at him.

"I'll always miss you no matter where I am or what i'm doing!" he explained and then lifted up my chin and kissed me swiftly but subtly on the lips, then pulled me close again, with no intensions of letting me go, so for the first time i had to pull him away from me.

"Go on, go" I laughed especially at the look on his face, then he bent down to Renesmee,

"Be good and look after your mother for me" he kissed the top of her head and got on his feet.

"Yes I will dad!" she sang, he turned towards the door, befor he jumped out the door into the purpilish forest he turned back to smile at us then disappeared in to the night.

After about and hour of talking with Alice, Esme and Rosalie. Me and alice took Renesmee back to the cottage to sleep. As soon as Renesmee had grabbed a snack from our kitchen she said goodnight to us both and went to bed with no aguments, not like any other child her age who would argue until they got their way. After she went to bed me and Alice sat and talked for the best part of the night. She asked me questions but one of them was soo different from all the others that were about what I liked about being a vampire which i replied with things such as the brilliant hearing,the sight and the sense of smell, but it does have its downpoints aswell like the burning sensation you get when your around humans.

"What do you miss about being human?" Alice asked curious.

"Urm, I think...the softer skin, maybe?" I replied not exactly sure, the night dragged on after that so I allowed Alice to do my hair. "So where's Jasper tonight?" I asked hopefully to start a new conversation.

"He's visiting Peter and Charlotte, he'll be back tommorrow" She smiled.

We started planning out our day ahead as the dawn started breaking into the horizon.

"I was thinking about asking Rosalie if she will come with me and Renesmee company seeing as Edward usally comes with us" I started.

"Well after you have been hunting, do you and Renesmee want to come shopping with me?" Alice asked hopeful.

"Sure, What time?"

"Oh, about two 'o' clock"

"Okay" Then I heard Renesmee getting up, she walked in, still in her pj's.

"Hey mom, auntie Alice" Renesmee trilled.

"Hey, are you hungry?" I asked.

"Yeah, starving!"

"Theres some cereal in the cupboard," she walked through to the kitchen a about five minuets later she walked back into the living room with a bowlful of cereal and a glass of orange juice, she sat on the floor in front of the table facing us, we were sitting on one of the two loveseats, still in yesterdays clothes.

"Thanks" she added as she sat down.

"Fancy Going hunting today, Jacob can come if you want!" I asked,

"Yeah, sure" she smiled

"Then we are going shopping with alice, is that ok?"

"Sure, i'd love to get some new clothes!" she smiled, after she'd eaten, she jumped up and took her dishes into the kitchen, washed them, then darted to get dressed. At that point I decided to go get dressed, Alice followed me to the bedroom and as i went to the closet to choose my outfit, she sat patiently on my bed. As soon as i was dressed we darted back to the living room, to where Renesmee was waiting.

We darted into the forest, reaching the river in a matter of minuets, I gathered Renesmee up in my arms and me and Alice jumped at the same time over the river. Jacob was by the house as usual, I set Renesmee down on her feet and she darted toward Jacob as soon as she reached him she jumped into his arms. Alice and I carried on to the house at top speed as we got to the front door, I found that Jasper was back and waiting for Alice by the front door, she kissed him and gave him a hug and started asking him 100's of questions. I carried on into the house. Esme were watching TV and Rosalie was sat on the stairs thoughtful, I went to sit by her and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned her attention to me and smiled, I smiled back.

"Heya, what are you doing today?" I asked Rosalie hopeful she wasn't doing anything seeing as Emmett was away.

"Nothing, you?" she asked.

"Well, I was going to ask you whether you would like yo come hunting with me, Renesmee and Jacob?"

"Sure, I would love to come, are we going now?"

"Yeah, sure, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah,sure, lets go!" she leaped of the stairs and took my hand, we both leaped out the door, Renesmee jumped on to Jacob's back, and we all darted into the forest. Jacob and Renesmee split off on their own route while Rosalie and I carried on. We hunted a mountain lion each and a few deer, then after we had finished we went to find Jacob and Renesmee, who had just finished up when we arrived.

We darted back to the Cullen household, Rosalie went inside while Jacob and Renesmee said goodbye to each other, Jacob said that he had to discuss something important with Sam, Alpha to Alpha.

Renesmee and I walked around to the Garage at a human pace, as we walked into the garage I saw Alice sitting on the hood of her bright yellow Porshe and as soon as she saw us a huge smile broke across her face. But as soon as we all got in the car, Renesmee sitting on the backseat and with me sitting in the passenger side next to Alice. She started the car and as soon as she reached the end of the drive and turned onto the highway she burst into an journey of chat. We spent hours in Olimpia and didn't get back until about ten to ten, as soon as we reached the Cullen family home. I walked in through the front door. Carlisle and Emmett were back.

"Hey, did you guys have fun?" I asked

"Yeh, we got a few grizzilies!" Emmett laughed.

"Where's Edward?"

"He's waiting for you at your cottage" Carlisle replied.

"Okay, better get going then, Bye!" Renesmee and I turned towards the door. As soon as we were at the river I took Renesmee up in my arms and jumped over the river, I carried her the rest of the way home. We were there in no less than two minuets. I darted into th house and Renesmee turned into the kitchen to get something to eat before she went to bed. I stood by the couch alone but not completly I could sense Edward behind. Before I could turn round he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I've missed you so much" He whispered against my neck then kissed it lightly. I spun around and kissed him back on the lips, It felt like I was whole again. He hugged me close, Renesmee walked in, Edward gently let go of me bent down and held out his arms for Renesmee, I smiled. She ran and jumped into his arms with a huge smile on her face, She hugged him as tightly as she could then we bothe put her to bed, kissed her goodnight and then we both went back to the living room.

"Want to watch a DVD?" I asked after a minute of silence, I walked over to the shelves in which the DVD's were.

"Sure, choose one" he replied as he lay across the couch, I picked a random DVD and popped it in the player, then I went over to the couch he was lay on, lifted up his head and put it on my lap. He started the movie, I stroked his hair as we watched the film. But about ten minutes into the movie I could feel his eyes on me, I looked down his eyes were gentle and kind.

"What?" I asked smiling,

"Nothing, just wondering how something as beautiful as you, could love me!" he replied, smiling.

"You are the most beautifullest thing in my world and always will be!"

"And you the same to me" We didn't watch the rest of the movie just sat there in silence for the rest of the night talking about random thing and we both planned to take Renesmee to see Charlie in the morning.

The next day, we kept to our plan and took Renesmee to see Charlie. He wasn't expecting us, so he was suprised but happy when he saw us turn onto the drive. He opened the door as soon as we knocked.

"Hi dad" I sang as soon as he grinned.

"Hello Bella, Edward and little Renesmee, I wasn't expecting you all today. You should of rang first but all the same its good to see you" he continued smiling as we walked into the house.

"Sorry Charlie, we wanted to suprise you" Edward smiled innocently at him and he smiled back.

"Hello Grandpa" Renesmee chimed as she went to hug him.

"Hello" he replied in a lovey-dovey tone. The hours passed quickly after talking about so many things, the burning sensation in my throat didn't bother me as much as it use to. We said our goodbye's to Charlie as we climbed into our car, with Renesmee in the back asleep. We waved goodbye to Charlie as we rounded the corner.

"Well, that was interesting" I implied after a few moments.

"Hmmm...Very interesting...His thoughts were facinating but not as facinating as yours" I wanted to blush, but of course that was impossible. I smiled at him, he put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to kiss my forehead.
