Chapter 2: James the Hunter
He's looking straight ahead his dark red eyes not even blinking, legs slightly apart hands hanging by his side. Those that don't know him will think that he is carefree and not at all worried about the failed assassin attempt on the girl. In history this is the second time he did not complete the kill! He's ruthless, persistent, insane and deadly. He doesn't fail, that is why he is the best and gets the big bucks.
Big Joe Black is japing on about the failed attempt even if he's leering and afraid of this man in his 20 years he worked for the Black Mafia this has not happened yet, James the Hunter does not fail. His boss is breathing down his neck she is super mad. Pissing her off is never a good thing and you may think you're indestructible but that woman has contacts and knows people that you cannot pretend to comprehend.
Big Joe Black has the feeling that the only reason The Hunter has not kill him yet, is because he knows that as well. He's dad worked with The Hunter and he met him 30 years ago and he still looks the same. It was one of the three lessons he got from his dad: Don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to!
"So what happened?" Big Joe Black asks looking thoughtfully at The Hunter – it's unnerving to see him so subdued and nervous?
"There was a slight mishap, I …" James replied.
Big Joe interrupting him spit flew around his mouth: "A mishap! A mishap! A mishap is cutting off your finger while potato pealing, what the fuck man?" He's breathing heavily his heart cannot take this shit anymore this is too stressful.
The Hunter turns towards him red eyes pinning him to the floor replying in a soft measured voice: "Calm down Big Joe, it will be done. Tell the misses there is nothing to be worried about I will handle it as always."
Big Joe Black tries to reply but his heart is beating outside his ribcage now, the anxiety is making his forehead perspiring terribly his hands are sweaty and his mouth dry. He is almost in a full blown panic attack.
James The Hunter turns his head to the side smirking looking at Big Joe Black saying softly "Calm down Big Joe, calm down, just take a deep breath. I mean you no harm …" And he steps back from Big Joe putting his hands in front of him – palms up giving him room to breathe it will not be good if he gets a heart attack now the misses is already pissed at him killing Big Joe will be a BIG no-no.
Big Joe Black takes a few deep breaths he knows that he needs to calm down, this will not solve anything he needs to report to the misses and see if he can perhaps arrange a backup plan if The Hunter fails again.
"Sorry." Big Joe Black whispers "Please make sure you take care of the girl now, the misses is not happy."
"Sure, considering it done, I will let you know." James reply, turning around leaving the man behind.
That little girl is quite lucky many will think that she's a klutz always falling down, but if she didn't fall, she'd be dead now. What are the odds of that? He watched her for two days normally he doesn't kill his targets unless he ran a thorough background check on them. He likes to stalk them, hunt them play with them before he takes the kill. But the call came through 1.5 million to take this little girl out the misses wanted it done before the weekend he only had five days to check out her routine and make the kill.

He knows that it was a sloppy check, but he killed people with less, he sighs he will have to kill her at the hospital. He hates hospitals, no loaves it, the blood so new and fresh pumping through their veins mixed with chemicals to keep the viruses at bay. In a way he's a virus as well, just think one byte from him the venom cursing through your veins will kill you eventually although it's painful. He shrugs his shoulders he doesn't remember much of his transformation or what led to it but he does remember the burn. No matter what you do nothing can extinguish that pain it drives one insane and leaves you with this thirst burning in the back of your throat the only way to lessen it somewhat is blood and hospitals are full of blood.
He will have to feed first and then go tonight before the misses requires more formally why the job wasn't done. She is one scary lady, he doesn't scare easily in fact he knows that he is on top of the food chain – but in reality just underneath the misses. He chuckles thinking on how mad she is he knows for a fact that she will kill him or have him killed if he doesn't deliver.
Perhaps he should contact Vicky she's useful in situations like this. You can try but she cannot be caught, he did try it's his gift after all but she is the exception of the rule. One powerful bitch with red hair and a body to die for remising about the old days he thinks back on how beautiful she was a woman with red hair and green eyes and that green velvet dress. Aah and the sex, she is a fierce kitten and likes it rough … He adjusts his pants, no time to think about this now. Go to the hospital kill the bitch then go fuck Vicky.
He enters St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center smiling at a nurse takes a deep breath, hmmm so much blood, it's strange but he doesn't sense Isabella's blood, could be all the pain killers. He walks leisurely through the halls like he belongs there. It was one thing his dad did teach him, if you look like you belong, they will think that you belong even if its horse shit.
He shrugs this girl is bringing memories back better to be forgotten, thinking to him, just kill the girl how hard can it be to kill a little girl?
Room 126 Ms Swan, he touches the door knob with his hand and the sweet bitter smell of vampire assaults his nose.
"What the fuck?" He whispers turning around he saw a beautiful blond looking straight at him about 100m across from him.
Can he take the chance wouldn't even be a minute, she will have to move pretty fast, he can go in break the girl's neck and be out of there before she can even blink and if she does blink he'll just kill her or perhaps fuck her first then kill her, been awhile since he had a blond.
The Hunter smirked winked to the blond, opened up the door, and grabbed the girl by the neck with his left hand she opens up her eyes looking right at him but not really seeing him or what is going on. He squeezes her neck bringing his right hand up to kill her.
The door bursts open!
He looks up and he sees her, the one that got a way he freezes, eyes staring straight ahead into golden eyes, brown hair a beautiful girl. He whispers "Baby Mary …"
Two women moves towards him with precision, he blinks, thinking to himself that he needs to get away here he can always find the girl and perhaps baby Mary also again. He sniffs the air gives his signature smirk and wink.
"Got to go ladies, but I'll be seeing you again" he looks down at Bella "Soon girl, soon."
He sidestepped to the left and dances to the right in a crouch he jumped over the strawberry blond out through the window breaking it in his fall down towards the street. Landed perfectly, wave one more time and disappears into the crowd.
Dr. Rosalie rushes to Bella, touching her arm trying to calm her down speaking softly to the girl "Breath Bella, come honey take a deep breath." She put Bella's hand on her chest taking a deep breath herself "Follow my lead, take a deep breath." Bella tries to take the breath, trying to do what the doctor tells her. Dr. Rosalie is so calm she smiles telling Bella again "That's it honey, that's it just take deep breaths all will be well, nothing is going to happen to you. Take deep breaths."
The phone rings in the background and Bella looks towards the other people in the room, three beautiful women, two looking at her but the pixie one is talking on the phone she sees Bella looking at her and smiles turning around walking to the other side of the room. The one woman with caramel brown hair looks at her and smiles kindly "Hello Bella, I'm Esme Cullen are you ok?"
Bella replies "I'm better now, thanks, um." She looks around and at her doctor "What happened, what did he want, why was he in my room again?" She blushes blood red and starting to breath heavily again.
"If I may?" The strawberry blond steps forward. "Bella, I'm Tanya Denali." She looks straight at Bella smiling speaking again softly "We are here to help Bella, where did you see this man?"
Bella looks confused at her "What do you mean where did I see him before?"
The pixie steps up finished with her conversation "Bella, I'm Alice Cullen, you just said: why is he in your room again. Did you see him last time in your room as well? Please Bella think when your mother brought you too hospital was he there?"
Bella shakes her head she has a maddening headache pulsing at her temples she knows there's something familiar about the man but she can't seem to think now. She's so nauseas.
Alice Cullen pushes a waste basin just in time under her head and she throws up noisily into it. She tries to swallow but it just keeps coming and her head hurt so much. The room starts to fade and then everything is black.
AN: Thanks for reading let me know if you enjoyed it.
*In this story Rosalie is more humane towards Bella – after all Rosalie is a doctor here so her instincts to nurture will come more to the front. The vampires in this story will be more instinctual. I will try to lift out the highlights in each of the Twilight Saga books, but the story will also includes other things that did not happen in SM books.
Happy reading:)
