Chapter 6: The Hunt

BPOV

"The window?" I asked. Starring, two stories down.

I'd never been afraid of heights per se, but being able to see all the details with such clarity made the prospect less appealing. The angles of the rocks below were sharper than I would have thought possible.

Edward smiled. "It's a convenient exit. If you're frightened, I can carry you."

"A vampire scared of heights? What has the vampire world come too? They shouldn't just let anyone in. Bella's going to bring our reputation down with that clumsy crap." Emmett said causing everyone to snicker

"Watch and learn smart oh excuse me I meant dumbass." I said rolling my eyes

I did a back flip out of the window doing a spiral twist with my body before landing. I looked up at the window where Emmett stood tilting my head to the side, then rolling my hand in one swift circle before politely giving him the finger with my "Yeah bitch I'm the shit and what" simile plastered on my face. That caused everyone to laugh so hard if they were human they would have broken a couple of ribs by now and pissed themselves.

"Stalling, Edward." I challenged

He very casually, stepped out of the tall, open window and fell bending his knees to absorb the impact.

"Suicidal Much?" I muttered under my breath causing our family to snicker and cough laugh

"What was that, love." Edward said in mocked horror

"Emmett how could you say something like that about your brother. I'm so disappointed in you Emmie, your suppose to help him with his ignorance not encourage it." I said in mock seriousness causing everyone to laugh and giggle freely now.

"You said it." Emmett said in a mocking voice then stuck his tongue out at me

"Uh uh!" I said sticking my tongue out back at him

"I love my lil sis." Alice sighed

"Love you to big sis." I said blowing her a kiss that she returned and then there was a chorus of ahs.

"Bella?" Edward said

"Yes?"

"That was quite graceful---- even for a vampire."

I considered that for a moment, and then beamed. If he'd just said that, Emmett would have laughed. No one found his remark humorous, so it must be true.

"Thank you." I told him

Edward took my hand--- I couldn't stop marveling at the smoothness, the comfortable temperature of his skin—and darted through the backyard to the edge of the river.

Everything physical seemed so simple.

"Are we swimming?" I asked him when we stop beside the water

"And ruin your pretty dress? No. We're jumping."

I pursed my lips, considering. The river was about fifty yards wide here.

"You first." I said

He touched my cheek, took two quick backward strides. And then ran back those two steps, launching himself from the flat stone firmly embedded in the riverbank. He aced over the water, finally turning a somersault just before he disappeared into the thick trees on the other side if the river.

"Show off." I muttered, and heard his invisible chuckle

I could hear the muffled laughter in the house. The laughter came from upstairs and down.

"Bella." Edward called from the trees, his voice moving closer

I didn't want to give Emmett a reason to find MORE humor in my education. The was physical --- it should be instinctive.

I crouched then launched myself over the river back flipping while I did so. I was expecting the close-packed trees to be a problem, but surprisingly they were actually helpful. It was a simple matter to reach out with one sure hand as I fell back towards the earth again deep inside the forest and catch myself on a convenient branch; I swung lightly from the limb and landed on my toes, still fifteen feet from the ground on the wide bough of a Sitka spruce.

God that felt good.

Over the sounds of my delighted laughter, I could hear Edward racing to find me. My jump was twice as long as his. When he reached my tree, his eyes were wide. I leaped from the branch to his side, soundlessly landing on the balls of my feet.

"Was that good?" I wondered

"Very good." He smiled approvingly, but his casual tone didn't match the shocked expression on his face.

"Follow me…… if you can." His expression was suddenly taunting, and broke into a run.

I blew passed him looking at his shocked face and smiled cockily.

The forest was much more alive then I'd ever known—small creatures whose existence I'd never guessed at teemed in the leaves around me. They all grew silent after we passed, their breathing quickened in fear. The animals had a much wiser reaction to our scent then humans seemed to.

"Bella." He said dryly, his voice lazy." Did you want to stay in the country?" he asked with one eyebrow raised

Damn he looked to sexy right now.

"This is fine." I said "And what are we hunting?"

"Elk. I thought something easy for your first time…." He trailed off when my eyes narrowed at the word easy.

"Where?" I said scanning the forest impatiently

"Hold still for a minute." He said

"Now close your eyes." He murmured

When I obeyed, he raised his hand and caressed my left cheek and I felt my breathing quicken.

"Listen." He instructed "What do you hear?"

"Everything." I stated causing him to laugh

"By the creek, to the northeast." I stated

"Yes." He said in a approving tone "Now.. Wait for a breeze. What do you smell?" he said

Thousands of scents attacked my nose at that moment and I wrinkled my nose causing him to chuckle.

"It take some getting use to." He said chuckling freely

"Five." I stated

"Good." He said I could tell he was smiling even though my eyes were closed.

"What do I do now?" I asked very confused

His voice sounding like he was smiling." What do you want to do?"

"Quench my thirst." I said in a mocking tone

"No need to get snappy, love." He said in mock hurt

Suddenly the wind blew our way and I caught a new scent in the air. The scent smelled mouth watering. A strong instinct kicked in and I begun racing toward the new scent that the promising to quench my thirst scaring away the elk in the process. I was suddenly alerted that someone was following me and I growled a vicious growl and crouch defense to defend my prey. I exposed my teeth in warning as another growl ripped its way from my chest up my throat and out of my mouth. I couldn't think straight the irresistible scent had me single minded.

I jumped into the air glowing blue orbs formed into my hand and I shot them at the enemy blowing them back. I took that distraction to do a sneak attack from behind. I ran up behind him and roared to the sky and a lighting bolt came down and hit him. I than grabbed him and put his arm in a special position that if he struggled or so much as moved it would instantly be ripped off along with his head.

The wind shifted, blowing the smell of the wet earth and coming rain across my face, freeing me from the scent's control. I realized at that moment that a scent so delicious could only be human. That's when I realized that I hurt Edward. I hurt my Edward. The scent was still in the air so I held my breathe.

"Edward, I'm so sorry. I have to get away from here." I said using the only breathe I had

Shocked crossed his face. " Can you leave?" he asked

I didn't have time to ask him what he meant I just burst into a run. My body was beginning to react to the lack of air. My goal was to get as far away from this scent as possible. To make it impossible to find even if I changed my mind. Once again I was aware I was being followed but, was sane this time. I fought the instinct to breathe--- I used the flavors in the air to make sure Edward was the one following me. I didn't fight long; though I was running faster that I had before; shooting like a comet through the straightest path I could find in the trees; Edward was right behind me.

A new thought occur to me causing me to stop dead in my tracks. I planted my feet , I knew I was safe here, but I held my breathe just in case. Edward blew passed me surprised by my sudden freeze. He wheeled around and was at my side in a second. He put his hands on my shoulders and starred into my eyes shock the dominant emotion on his face.

"How did you do that?" he demanded.
