It had been a long time since he'd allowed himself the joy of just running. Edward wasn't exactly sure where he ended up when he finally stopped, other than the natural beauty of jagged rocks and towering forests telling him he was in a mountain range far north of Forks.
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. The crisp fall air was heavy with the scent of rich earth, decaying foliage and the edge of a storm front that would hit overnight. He could hear what he'd come all this way for rummaging around the underbrush off in the distance – a mountain lion trying to flush out a rabbit.
The first drops of rain began to fall just as he was savoring the last of his meal. He turned his face into the gale gust as it swept across the darkening landscape, and smiled. He had to hurry home.
There was someone there waiting for him now, and she didn't like storms.
