Edward's Point of View
"Be careful. You don't know what's out there."
"Yes, love. But don't worry, I have Emmett," Bella flashed a small grin as she glance over to the big cuddly bear that stood behind me. I could see from Alice's mind, who was standing behind Bella, that Emmett was flexing his muscles from behind me to give Bella some reassurance about my safety. She giggled and was convinced.
I had beat Emmett to a race to the baseball field (naturally) and was waiting for him when I heard it. Something moving at vampire speed and quietness. Then, it was gone. But it had sounded so close, and usually as something gets farther away, it just gets quieter and quieter, but gradually, not just all out mute at one moment. Then I heard something move a lot slower. Probably a deer or a mountain lion running. But then it sounded like it got tackled and was struggling. Emmett had reached the baseball field by now and was listening too. I motioned for him to follow me. We silently, we moved into the forest. We followed the sound until we realized that it was a human sound. We kept moving forward, but Emmett was a little more hesitant. We came to a tiny clearing and saw who it was. A vampire was feeding on a human. I didn't even see the vampire, I only read her mind for a fraction of a second. I felt her blood lust and how hungry she was. And then she disappeared. She didn't get up, she didn't move, she just disappeared into thin air. I couldn't smell her, I couldn't hear her or her thoughts. Her scent didn't even linger in the air. I could tell from her point of mind in that split second that I heard her, that she was nowhere near to finishing the human, and the human had disappeared along with her. Emmett, being Emmett, did an Emmettly thing to do. He kind of spazed out. He was muttering random things that didn't make sense. I listened to him and he said things like, "Gotta make sure Rose doesn't disappear," and "Hmmm, we should go up the Tanya and Kate for a while, just to be safe," and, oh this was pretty good, "Wait? What if it wants my baby? It can't have my Jeep! NOOOO! It does want my baby!"
"EMMETT!" I smacked him with all my vampire strength and hoped that he would snap out of it. Emmett has had several spaz attacks in his vampire life and Jasper and I usually have to hit him at the same time to make sure he stops ranting on and on.
"What the...?" But even Emmett was dazed to an extreme as he snaped out of his spazy trance. "Um, dude? That was kinda scary," he said, now referring to reality.
And the fact that Emmett, big and strong and manly Emmett, thought that it was scary, sent chills up my spine.
