FINAL SUNSET

Bella

2. Unexpected

Oh My God! If I so much as looked at another person I was going to scream! I had just finished party planning with Alice, which had been torture. Edward was going to be so surprised though. So I guess it was worth it. Before that, it had taken me nearly half and hour to shove Edward out the door. He had eventually agreed to go and enjoy himself when I had sworn that I would be the first one he saw when he walked through the door. Then I had to track down Renesmee. She had decided to hunt again before her first day of school. She was exceedingly worried that she wouldn't be able to control her thirst around all the temptation that school provided. When I had had a few minutes to myself I had finished cleaning, so, therefore I now had nothing to do. First days were exhausting!

At lose ends for once; seeing as I didn't have Edward to fill my time with, I decided to go on a small, out-of-range hunting trip. It would be nice to venture into unfamiliar areas and catch some different prey. (I was starting to tire of elk and deer). Yes, that's what I'd do. Taking one more sweeping looked around the house I headed for a Canadian Forest that I knew had a mountain loin problem.

While racing past the trees, I started to think about how Edward was doing. I wondered if he was working on a case yet or just getting used to the building and everyone in the office. I had met his boss when we had gone out to dinner with him. He was a charming, honest man who would treat Edward well. I was still daydreaming as I entered the forest; I never thought to check for danger. I was too preoccupied with my thoughts. Anyway, who would have any reason to harm me?

5 minutes later I knew exactly who would. But it was far too late.

Their scent hit me like a kick in the gut. I dropped my prey immediately and turned to the east instinctively. They were running. Maybe 2 or 3 miles away. They would be here in a matter of seconds. There was no time to run. How could I have been so stupid?

I just had enough time to lower into a defensive crouch before they entered the little clearing in the spruce of trees that I had recently hunted in.

Their skin glistened dully in the muffled sunlight. No longer cloaked in black I could now see their slight figures. I wanted to demand they leave, but I just couldn't find my voice. After a few minutes they broke the silence.

"Hello Bella," Jane and Alec's synchronized voice rang clear and musical through the still air.
