Chapter 2
In The Forest
(Alice POV)
Emmett and I were racing each other, trying to be the first one to dig their teeth into a delicious mountion lion. I don't know how humans can live on normal human food. Oh how can they survive? Emmett disappeared somewhere. I stopped running to look for him. Where was he? I suddenly heard laughter from behind. Damn, he tricked me. He sprinted past me and over to a huge moutain lion. "Crap." I said and grinned at the smug look on Emmett's face. "First to three?" "Fine!" Emmett snapped and I smiled. "Right lets go then."
We ran as fast as we could. We actually seem to avoid more animals than we drink when we race for mountain lions. But that's a sacrafice you have to make for a good laugh during hunting. I spotted a mountain lion through the trees. Emmett followed my stare and saw the mountain lion. Great, there was me thinking that. I could just jog towards my win. What am I doing? Just run already! The more I stand here thinking about it, the more of a had start Emmett is getting. I set off running after him.
"Yes!" I shouted. I finally reached the mountain lion and more importantly before him. "That makes us even." He noted, "You won't win." "Well, well, well." A voice came from behind us. Not a voice I reconised either. "What are the chances of us seeing you two here?" Emmett and I turned around to look at who was talking to us. We saw three girls. They all looked to be about the same age, 15 or 16, I would say. "No offence or anything but who are you?" Emmett asked.
The girl in the middle laughed and gestured to a girl with blonde hair that came to about her shoulders, "This is Ariana." Ariana smiled. The girl then gestured to a girl with blonde hair again, but this girl's hair was longer and came about half way down her back, "This is Katylin." Katylin also smiled at us in a nice, greeting way. The girl started playing with her light brown hair that came, like Ariana's, about her shoulders, "And I am Julia." "O.K."Emmett said slowly, "Well, I'm Emmett." And pointing to me, he added, "And this is Alice."
"Oh, we know." Katylin grinned at the confused lookes of our faces, "We have been in this forest here for a while so we know alot about you and the rest of your family, it's nice to knnow that we aren't the only vampires around here." "Oh and by the way, nice fight, Alice." Julia laughed. "O.K. That's creepy." I muttered and more clearly I said. "Well we've got to get back."
"Oh no please, Alice, we have to ask you something." Ariana begged. "Ask me then." I suggested. "We can't, not with Emmett listening." Ariana protested. "And why is that?" Emmett asked, insulted. Julia saved Ariana from that question. "It's just private." Katylin then took a pen and some paper out of her pocket, she was writting something down on it. Just as we went to walk by them to leave, she slipped the piece of paper into my hand.
"Do you think we should tell anyone?" Emmett asked me when were outside the house. "Nope." I replied, "They would all be freaked out." "How about we discuss it over a few bears?" Emmett lauged. "Well, I can't say no to that now can I?" I grinned. I followed Emmett back into the forest again and we set of running a different direction from where we left Katylin, Julia and Ariana.
Please don't forget to review and tell me what you think the piece of paper should say. I've got some ideas and I can't decide which one to use.
