Chapter three:
We Run this
I leaned against the window frame of my bedroom window, looking out into the forest that laid next to the house. It was very green and there was still fog that layered the forest floor. I heard someone behind me but didnt turn around. I knew it was Edward. He didnt say anything, just watched my back.
"Are you ready?" He said after a while.
"Nearly." I answered. "Just wait a sec."
I walked over to my bedside table next to my king size bed, which i did not need, due to the fact i did not sleep but enjoyed it anyway. I picked my ipod off it and put it into my arm holder, turning it on. The thing is that my father and me are different to everyone else in the family. When i was human, i did a lot of running, or so i remember.
Now hunting is something normally dad and i do alone. I looked over at him and smiled at his running shorts and tank top that showed off too much of his muscle...yes my father was very vain and loved to show off his "guns". I swear he got more like Emmett every day.
I wore my three quater running leggings and a crop top that stopped half way up my stomach. I put my earphones into my ears and nodded to dad. He was off before i could move. I ran down the stairs of the house and out the door with my vampire speed. The forest blurred around me and i kept my eyes forward, running after my father into the forest.
We had not been hunting here long, since it was a new spot that backed onto some of the houses of La Push, and did not know the woods very well, even though most of the time being a vampire stuff like that didn't matter.
Once i caught up to him we both slowed down.
"What do you feel like today?" He asked me.
"My favourite." I replied automatically.
Dad smiled and chuckled, nodding his head at me.
"You?" I asked, smiling in reply.
"Well of course my favourite. Mountain lion here i come."
He growled playfully and i hit him on the arm. He raised his head in the air and closed his eyes.
"Im going this way." He said, pointing in the opposite direction.
"Okay...well my herd is far from that. I'll come find you when I'm finished."
He nodded and gave me a hug. Then he sped off into the deeper part of the woods.
"Be safe, Charl." he said over his shoulder as he ran.
I rolled my eyes in reply, knowing he would see "I will, dad."
When i couldn't see him anymore i ran in the other direction, letting my senses kick in. I lifted my head into the sky and let my hunger lead me to my pray. It did not take me long to find them, a herd of dear running fearfully from their death, not fast enough though. I caught one quickly, breaking its neck so there would not be as much pain and drank hungrily.
Once i was finished with my third Dear i felt my body begin to relax and my mind clear. The hunger drained away the moment my lips touched the liquid, but since i was around humans i fed heavily.
I was done fairly quickly and patted my exposed stomach happily; i wouldn't have too much trouble at school. I ran though the forest, trying to find Edward. He took a little longer than i did and i knew he wouldn't be done any time soon. I gave up tracking him and decided that he would find me eventually.
I started running through the trees, weaving in and out of each one. I ran and ran...until something caught my eye.
I stopped abruptly and looked ahead. A figure was walking through the tree's ahead, too close for me to run away from, so i tried to conceal myself behind one of the large pines next to me. I watched as a man appeared in front of me, walking with his hands in his pockets. I cursed under my breath and he suddenly stopped walking.
"Who's there?" He asked cautiously.
I knew that if he stepped forward and inch he would see me, so i stepped out from my hiding spot and looked at him.
He seemed a little surprised and a smile emerged on his face. I recognised him instantly, not because of his face, but his smell.
"Oh..." He said, "Well this is unexpected."
I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at him. Although i did not show it, i was surprised i had not jumped him the moment he spoke and i secretly thanked god that i had just fed. He was in light now and it was the first time i had seen his face clearly. He had blondish brownish hair that covered his piercing blue eyes, a wide white smile and dark skin. He was wearing the same clothes i had seen him in today, a pair of dark jeans and a tee that fitted him well. I opened my mouth to speak and was surprised that i could.
"Hey." I said, weakly.
"She speaks!" He said sarcastically, throwing his arms up in the air.
I glared and him and his smile faded. He mirrored me by crossing his arms.
"And im guessing that wasn't funny." he said.
It was quiet for a while, both of us just staring at each other.
"Why are you here?" i asked, finally.
He shrugged; putting his hands in his jean pockets "I was taking a walk..." He answered.
"In the middle of the forest?" i scoffed.
He shook his head, making his fringe move to one side "Well no. I live just over there." He said, pointing in the distance behind him.
I looked in the direction and saw a house, far away, that only vampire eyes could barely make out. I made an "O" shape with my mouth and suddenly felt very stupid. Thirty-seven years of being...alive...you could say, and i still mess up like everyone else.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
I looked up and him and saw him staring at me, now leaning against the tree next to him.
"None of your business." I said angrily.
He put his hands up in defence and shrugged again "It might just be me, but i get the feeling like you don't like me."
I suddenly felt a rush of hurt that he had towards me, but shook it off because the power of his emotion was distracting.
"Why do you think that?" I asked, slightly guilty.
"I dunno...Just a guess."
I nodded and started bitting on my long nails, human habits die-hard. The breeze suddenly changed direction and his hair flowed in my way. I stiffened, waiting for the reaction like the one in the classroom, but it didn't come. This time it was different, like i longed for that smell...like vanilla. It was truly delectable. A smile appeared on my lips.
I could taste it in my mouth, and it was sweet. I uncrossed my arms, and started walking towards him. I don't know why, but i could not stop myself from getting close to him. He froze suddenly and looked at me, his eyes full of uncertainty.
"I'm Charlotte." I said, holding out my hand and looking him in the eyes.
He stared at me for a long time before shaking his head a bit and looking from me to the hand.
"Sorry?" he stuttered.
"My name," i said, "is Charlotte."
"Adrian." he said, reaching out to shake my hand, but i pulled mine back at the last minute realising i could feel the hunger begin to rise again, i need to leave right now.
"Well Adrian..." I said "We have that project to do. Maybe I'll see you around."
"Yeah, bye."
I walked away as quickly as i could until i heard him call from behind me and stopped.
"It was nice to meet you Charlotte Cullen."
I didnt t turn around, but i felt a smile crawl upon my lips. Once i knew i was out of sight, i raced forward and soon found dad sitting on a rock waiting patiently for me.
"Long feed?" He asked, eyeing me.
"You could say that." I answered.
I knew he could read my thoughts, but it wasn't as if i had done anything wrong. He opened his mouth to argue what had just happened but i put up my hand.
"Let's go home dad."
I ran off towards the house, getting head start. I knew that wouldn't last for long though.
Well! i hope you enjoyed it! I so sorry if it sounded crap, but it got deleted three times and anyone who that has happened to knows how hard it is to write again.
REVIEWS ALWAYS HELP!
So go do that now!
Thanks again to everyone for the support, i couldn't do this without you.
