My train ride was delayed and plus the ride is kinda long so i had plenty of time to write a nice long chapter for you guys, Enjoy!
Bella POV
I walked through the woods making my way to the clearing that I would meet Alice in. I was about five hours early, I read about a chapter in my book before I couldn't stand it any longer and went to wait for Alice. I could have tracked her scent if I wanted to but I didn't want to look desperate even though I really wanted to see her again. I figured out that I had imprinted on her about half way through chapter 5. My body all of a sudden seized up making it difficult to breath and my heart started to pick up speed and in no time it was going twice the speed it usually goes at. My inner beast was bursting at the seams trying to get more of Alice's scent from the air surrounding me into my lungs; I wanted to take a bath in her scent. My inner beast also wanted to mark her as mine and drench her in my scent as well, and if it had it's way I would be drenching her in my urine, so I fought it. Taking deep breaths I started reading out loud trying to calm my inner beast down with my voice, it didn't work that well. I was now on my way to wait for Alice hoping that when she did show up I would have just went to the bathroom so I wouldn't disgrace myself.
Uncurling myself I blinked open my eyes to greet the morning sun that was now gracing my body. Getting up I stretched out and glanced around the clearing, not expecting to see anything, I did though. There on the edge of the clearing was a wolf, not just a normal wolf but a shape shifter like myself. He looked rugged and smelled even worse, like he had just rolled around in garbage. Eyeing him up he looked young and scrawny; I could easily over take him. Wanting to play around and give him a taste of what a real shape shifter could do I decided to let him be the first one to take a shot. Sitting down I kept my eyes peeled on him as he gathered up the courage to face me.
Sitting there for half-an-hour I decided to take him on headfirst because I didn't want Alice to show up and have to deal with him, I wanted all her attention, and no one was going to take it from me. Pulling back my lips I let out a hiss quieting up the surrounding forest. Starting up a deep warning growl that vibrated up my chest and out my mouth I stood up and showed him how big I was. Not getting the response I was looking for, I started to stalk my prey even though he could see me. Getting a few yards away from him, I let out another warning growl, and only getting him to cock his head in return. Feed up with him and his attitude I lunged at the bastard.
Hisses and snarls escaped my mouth as we traded blows, me getting in more than him. Giving a rather hard blow to his side with my claw he staggered a few feet giving me the opportunity to grab him by the scruff of his neck. Growling deep and low I slowly put more and more pressure down on his neck as he struggled against me. Getting a lucky blow to my leg my jaw loosened slightly giving the wolf a chance to escape. Getting irritated I was about to finish the wolf off when Alice stepped into the clearing and gasped. Too caught up in how perfect Alice was I forgot about the wolf that I was currently fighting. Staring at her the wolf caught my attention as he went after her instead of me. That move got me seeing red and I let loose the raging animal inside me. Just three short leaps and I had caught him; running my claws down his back creating eight long groves down his back he let out such a wail that I knew I had destroyed him. As he crashed into the ground I grabbed his throat between my teeth and tore it out, his cries ceased immediately. Glancing up I saw Alice still standing there with her mouth open and her eyes screaming uncertainty. Wanting to go and comfort her I took a step forward intending to walk over to her but the wolf's leg twitched. I knew logically that he was dead but since I had let out my inner beast it was still controlling me, and it wanted that thing torn apart. And tear him about I did, ripping his legs off and than gutting him, my inner beast purred in delight.
Alice's POV
I left an hour early to go to the clearing because I was so excited to see my Bella again. Getting close to my destination my ears perked up upon hearing a fight. Hissing, snarling, and growling were soon the only thing I heard as I raced toward the clearing. Every step closer to the clearing was every step closer to this fight and I began to fear that Bella was injured. Breaking through the tree line I got an unexpected view of Bella about to tear off the head of a La Push wolf. Getting Bella's attention was easy seeing she immediately looked over at me the second I stepped into the clearing. But that wasn't the best idea because the wolf immediately took off towards me. I stood there frightened wondering if I should risk the treaty by attacking the wolf or if they were breaking the treaty. Before I had decided what to do Bella leaped onto his back and ripped him open before she tore out his throat. Uncertainty swept over me as I wondered if I could run over and envelope her in a hug without getting my head lopped off. Taking a step towards me, answering my silent question she immediately turned around and started to dismember the dead wolf.
Confused out of my mind and not knowing what to do, I took a few steps toward my left and promptly sat down leaning against a rock. After a few minutes of watching Bella take care of the wolf she turned toward me, and what I saw tore away at my heart. Her head bowed in shame as her eyes swam in guilt. Taking cautious slow steps toward me she finally arrived at my feet and promptly fell to the ground with a huff. Looking up at me she ever so slowly inched her way up so her head lay in my lap. Running my hand from her nose to her neck she let out a soft purr. Taking that as a compliment, I started to run my fingers through her fur wherever they could reach. Bella seemed to love it so much that she moved her lower body closer to allow me more access. Running my hands down her shoulders I let out a gasp as I found a gash. Scared now for my potential mate my hands hurriedly ran over her fur searching for more wounds, I came up with a total of five.
"Bella, you need to change back so we can get your wounds looked at." My voice came out in a hurried rush, to scared to think properly. Getting more nervous as the seconds ticked by and Bella still hadn't changed, I started to beg her to change back.
"Bella, you need to change back now. Please change back so I can see the wounds. Please, please, please change back." Nodding her head yes, I saw her fur melt away into nothing as her bones re-sewed themselves back into her human form. And to my surprise I got a naked Bella sprawled across my lap in a matter of seconds.
"Hey Alice" Grinning she started to stretch out as my breathing quickened until a gash on her stomach split open and started to bleed. I started to fuss over her when I saw the wound closing rather slowly.
"Um Alice. I could really eat something right now."
"What? Now?
"Yeah, I heal faster when I'm full."
"Ok, I can take you to my place and Esme can make you something. What do you like? We have eggs, bread, ham, noodles, and other stuff too, if you don't like those. We also have five different kinds of pop, milk, orange juice, apple juice, and grape. If you want I can go to the store and . . ."
"Alice, I don't need human food. I need meat, preferably living but I could make do with recently dead."
"Oh, okay a living animal coming right up." I took off into the woods with one thing on my mind, where are the deer?
Bella POV
Lying back on the grass I waited for Alice to come back with my meal. I looked over my wounds and didn't think they were that bad, a few of them were long but none were deep. That wolf had just gotten scratches on me compared to what I was used to; my blood had already clotted and if I didn't try to impress Alice any more they wouldn't re-open. I looked around at the destruction of the clearing that I created and felt guilty all over again. I didn't want Alice to see me as a monster, fighting in front of her. What did she think of me? I wanted her love but what if I screwed it up by acting like a monster in front of her. Oh, God I have to eat in front of her what am I going to do? Maybe I can get her to look away while I eat or ask her to leave. No, no, no, I can't ask her to leave. I will just have to explain it to her before I dive in. Oh, her she comes and yum she brought me a doe. Ahh, she's the best ever.
"Here you go Bella. A still living deer." A deer was stuck in a chocker hold in her arms as it struggled to get away.
"Alice I need to talk to you before I eat, so you can snap its neck so you don't have to hold it any more. But you are doing a great job of holding a deer."
"Bella, I really want you to eat, but if you really want to talk I guess we can." Snapping its neck she set the doe down and started to walk towards me but I stood up stopping her in her tracks. Smiling I made my way to Alice putting a slight swagger in my step. Watching her eyes grow big and her breathing increase I knew she was affected by my body. Being naked was normal for me and Alice seemed to appreciate it. Her eyes graced my body starting at my face and trailing down to my feet, stopping at certain points on my body that set my blood boiling.
"Alice do you know anything about shape shifters?" I was going to tell her about me, going to spill me heart out to her.
"Yes, I do know some stuff. I am over 200 years old."
"Well, when we meet our mate we imprint on them and we can't leave them, we have to be near them for the first few years." Taking a deep breath I walked closer and closer to her until I was right in front of her and let out the breath I was holding.
"I imprinted on you"
"What?"
"I imprinted on you. Now kiss me." I leaned forward and lightly pressed my lips against her letting her pull back if she wanted to. Not getting much of a response I kept lightly pressing my lips against hers waiting for a reaction. Suddenly she leaped forward and mashed her lips against mine. Wrapping my arms around her I let her take control of the kiss and took a backseat just enjoying the way her body pressed up against mine. Licking and nibbling at my bottom lip I finally opened up and let her explore my mouth, if her arms weren't around me I would have collapsed onto the ground as our tongues started to duel it out. Finally pulling back to suck much needed air into my lungs I stared into her golden eyes as she stared into mine.
"I think you should eat that deer before it goes bad and than we can talk."
"If you promise I can kiss you like that after I'm done eating than I'll eat."
"You can kiss me when ever you want." Grinning I pulled her back into me and pressed my lips against her hard. My tongue plunged into her mouth ravishing her and leaving her speechless as I took a step back and changed back into my cat form. Giving her one last glance I stepped around her and walked over to my meal. Looking down at it I leaned over and started to gorge myself on deer meat, tearing into its belly and eating its organs first before I moved onto the muscles. Finishing up I padded over to where Alice was laying and stretched myself out next to her changing back into my human form. Looking up at her I wiggled over and wrapped myself around her before falling asleep letting my body heal itself.
