Chapter 2

Edward.

I leaned in to kiss Nessie goodnight. Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes swirled with drowsiness. I tucked her into bed. The bedroom door creaked, and in came Jacob and my sweet Bella. She smiled at me but never took her eyes from Nessie's sleepy face. Her silky hand wove through mine and squeezed, signaling its time to go.

She led me out to the borderline, her eyes full of delight, even though they were black. I nodded at her request to hunt. We ran out to the forest together happily.

Bella.

The purple sky mixed with the clouds, therefore a dull fog swirled around us, dancing. We jumped through the fog easily, my stride still matching Edwards, thanks to my newborn strength. I closed my eyes and he let me lead us to our prey. We ran through the blackened forest, our limbs occasionally brushing against the trees, feeling like feathers. I started to run faster, getting into my strides till it got to the point that I was practically flying. I stopped when I smelled the thick heart leading to the bloodstream. I inhaled slightly. Delicious. I grew accustomed to bears; they were fun to annoy like Emmett says. My throat ripped into flames as I sprung towards my dinner. I narrowed my eyes as I took in the scent again.

I jumped and landed on the cave's edge. Edward effortlessly following behind. The Bear looked up at me and growled, clawing the space in between us with fury. I was too thirsty to bother looking at the details. I sprang at him and bit down on his thin neck. The blood pulsed through me, soothing my raged thirst. The taste was wet and comforting even. I drank it in a second and headed towards the others. Their warmth was just as soothing as the first. Their cries choked as I took in their blood, coursing through my body.

I was surprisingly better at becoming neater at hunting. Only a couple scratches and bloodstains this time. Edward would still have to lend me his shirt though, I didn't mind that. I ran my hand through my knotted hair. My body felt like I was recharged, like a cell phone that just got unplugged from its charger.

Smooth hands were placed on my shoulder, massaging them slightly. I didn't need my senses to tell it was Edward. He shrugged out of his shirt and handed it to me. I inhaled his scent and drowned in it, never wanting to resurface.

Edward.

I sat in the rocking chair in Renesmee's now complete room. Her dreams were like colors, so vivid, but not yet frightening. Butterflies swirl the air, fluttering around her face, making her giggle in her sleep. She seemed so peaceful just like Bella had, except without the talking. Daybreak started to occur, giving me a sign its time to head back to my closet to change. I stood up carefully, not wanting to make the chair squeak and kissed Nessie gently, not wanting to wake her up yet. I closed to door behind me and ran into the closet bigger than my own house.

I was attacked by Bella, her missing me made me guilty as usual. I picked her up against her will and sat her on my lap.

"How was your night, Mrs. Cullen?" I cooed on her neck, succeeding to dazzle her. "Surely it couldn't have been better than mine, I was with you" I murmured while caressing her back.

"I'm positive that you're wrong about that. I enjoyed it, you being with me. Though you should know how it was, you were there as you already said," Her eyes twinkled like stars, distracting me from answering. Surprising me as always, she unwillingly stood up and headed to the closet, and unlike thing for Bella to do.

"Is Alice getting to you, love?" I asked sarcastically.

"Nessie will be up soon," She said, in rushed tone. I stood up with her, helping her find something to wear, something that would drive Alice nuts. I simply put on a navy button down shirt and black casual pants. Bella stared, unable to take her eyes off me.

"How much I would give to get into that little head of yours" I chuckled.

"Do I amuse you?" Her giggling voice, made me laugh harder.

"Come on, Nessie's getting up," She dragged me out of my stance and picked up her sleepy daughter, and ran with me back to the big house.
