APPETITE

"Bella, are you okay?" Edward's voice was filled with concern.

"Yes, I'm…I'm fine," I muttered. I quickly turned away from the dreadful image. He saw my eyes and knew the image was hurting me.

"Come on, Bella, let's go back downstairs." He offered his hand as we – at a human pace – came downstairs. Jasper looked up at me with worry. I smiled in content, feigning my happiness. I was in a bad mood, for no good reason.

"Okay, Bella, I think it's time to take you hunting," Edward suggested. "You need the practice and today is the perfect day for that." We had just entered the kitchen when I saw Alice round the corner also.

"No, it's time to take her shopping. There is a major sale and if we don't hurry we'll be left with the reject pieces. You need new clothes to go with your new body!" She protested while jerking me in her direction. She inspected over my new body, approving.

"No, she's need to hunt, Alice," he hissed, jerking me back in his direction.

"No, she needs to shop!" She growled.

My patience dwindled as their bicker proceeded. I just wanted them to get their hands off of me. Immediately, both of their hands released from me, like my mind had spoken an order. Weird.

"Okay, this how were going to do is, first I'm going to learn how to hunt. Then, I'm going to go shopping." As I uttered the words, Edward's face looked worried. But I knew I was alright, I wasn't at the least bit attracted to human blood. Somehow, that trait from my human life crossed over. Well, it actually came in handy, finally. Edward grabbed my hand and I grabbed Alice's, both kissing them on the cheek as we made our way out.

Edward and Alice ran to their favorite hunting sight, dragging me along.

"Okay, Bella, when hunting, you let your senses take over," Edward whispered in my ear. We were in a clearing far from humans. The trees were packed together condense, though that didn't hinder our sight. Far beyond the exposed trees, I could see various creatures scurrying across the forest floor. The venom flowed in my mouth. It was hard to control myself. Edward noticed and placed a defensive hand over my body. I quickly shot a satanic glance at him and he laughed sheepishly.

"Are you ready?" He asked. I smirked and dashed out without answering.

I didn't know that I could make the transition so fast. It seemed like I was an expert. I couldn't control myself. Control, something I would definitely have to work on.

I rather skip over the gruesome behavior that occurred over my first hunt. I wasn't as neat as Edward and Alice, but I cleaned up so nicely, even Edward was impressed. Feeling satisfied, I left to go shopping with Alice.

We returned to the house to retrieve her Porsche. "You won't even have a chance to miss," I smiled. I kissed Edward and made my way out of town. We drove dangerously fast to Seattle. But surprisingly, I didn't mind. Actually, I complained that Alice wasn't going fast enough. If you believe 120 mph is slow.

We entered the mall and I was struck in awe. When I was human, how could I not have found clothes interesting? There was so many and they were all so nice. I took Alice into the nearest boutique.

"How does this look?" I had just tried on various outfits all receiving the same answer.

"Not bad, Bella," Alice complimented. Then, I would shake my head in rejection and quickly swap it out for a better outfit.

Soon, I came out displaying a midnight blue sparkling mini dress. It fell right in the middle of my thighs and I even complimented the look with a pair of heels. Alice's jaw dropped to the floor.

"Bella, where did you get your impeccable taste in clothes all of a sudden," She asked, shocked.

Truthfully, I didn't know. Subconsciously, I knew I wanted to dress just was well as Rosalie and Alice. But I didn't dare let her know that, so I smiled. I walked out the dressing room and strutted down our mini runway as Alice cheered me on.

"Uh, oh, America's Next Top Model just may be a vampire," she joked. Where did all this newfound confidence come from? I ended up revamping my whole wardrobe, even picking up a few "special" outfits for Edward's pleasure.

Hmm… it was nice to actually realize the vixen I was for once. As a human, I always tried to downplay my appeal. Now, I am a vampire. I was created to seduce. And that is exactly what I was going to do…

Alice and I arrived home early in the evening, laden with expensive clothes.

"You know, Bella, you and I need to shop more often," She giggled. We departed and I headed to Edward's bedroom. I entered in to see him reading. He looked over his book and rose to greet me.

"Hey, Bella, how was shopping?" Edward kissed me chastely. Even though I was a vampire, his kisses still caused me to stir. I walked over to closet dumping the bags of clothes at the bottom. I turned back to him and drew my hand across the back of his neck.

"Great, but it has left me with quite an appetite," I said suggestively. Edward looked confused.

"Well, I guess we could go hunting again and uh…Bella!" He was shocked at what I done. With my mind, I had released his belt buckle and sent it across the floor. I had some strong powers.

"Silly boy, you know what I'm hungry for," I smirked. He still looked baffled as I had relayed the exactly what I wanted him to do me. If a vampire could blush, Edward would be tomato red. I strutted towards him, swaying my newfound hips. I extended my leg out, and my high heeled foot landed squarely on Edward's chest. I slowly pushed him down on his bed.

He gulped. I felt like a dominatrix and I was about to lay it on Edward. I needed this "hunger" satisfied here and now. I was going to be in command this time. I was so used to Edward always controlling things. But it was my turn. The lights in the room dimmed, setting the mood.

"Edward…" I whispered. He nodded - his eyes wide with curiosity. "I'm going to make you scream my name."

wow.
