Chapter Seven: Out Hunted (Selene's POV)
Not a week after Edward's return, we all had to stay home from school because of it being a sunny day. Emmett, Edward, and Jasper piled into Emmett's Jeep, while Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Alice got into Carlisle's Mercedes. Alice had foreseen something coming up with Edward, so I drove his Volvo. We were going to Mt. Rainer to hunt. It was a Friday, so we were going for the whole weekend.
Edward had been talking to Bella in class now. With her self-consciousness about him slipping away, so did my ability to break into her thoughts, even a little. This was quite frustrating, but Edward seemed a bit happier, so I didn't complain.
I smiled as I thought about the sight of Bella and Edward as he carried her to the nurse the other day. They had looked together. Mike had started taking Bella to the nurse, but Edward had seen them and got worried. According to Edward, Bella gets dizzy at the scent of blood. That was rare, but I understood that kind of thing. Most humans couldn't smell blood, but I had been able to when I was human.
Edward hasn't really been taking a liking to Mike Newton either. I don't blame him though. It's a little disturbing, the way that boy thinks, when it concerns girls. I usually love my mind reading gift, but when I get anywhere near Mike, I become completed disgusted. I actually hissed at him one time when he was thinking about the possibilities of me going out with him. He hasn't so much as looked at me since. Good thing too. Otherwise Emmett would be having some words with him.
Ah. Emmett. Maybe today we could go after some black bears. I could show him the right way to wrestle one down. Of course he's seen me hunt before, but I had never completely let go. Now it was time to show off a little. After years of living in the same house, he was the only one who didn't realize I was stronger than him, faster then Edward and even more tame than Carlisle. My father had no idea how I came to be like that. I wondered that too, but Emmett and I liked picking on each other, so this was something I could start hanging over him.
I snickered when I heard Edward's mental chuckle. He liked that idea. He had always wanted to she what would happen if…oh. Maybe Em did know I was stronger already. How clumsy of me. I'd forgotten the dispute we'd gotten into just a couple decades ago. He had been using strong suggestive humor towards Cornel and me. We hadn't liked that and I had crack. Emmett had a forever-visible scar along his right shoulder, where his arm had been disconnected.
We maybe soul mates, but we could still wrestle and mess with each other. I always beat him. So I guess he does know my strength, but he had yet to see my speed. No way would he be able to catch me if I went full speed. From Forks, at top speed, I could be in Los Angeles in a matter of ten minutes. I've actually made that trip.
My thoughts were halted when my family pulled into the area we'd be parking. A secluded area, hidden by a million trees that only we knew about. I parked and was out in the same second. Emmett was by my side in the next second and we were all off to hunt. I always hunted with Jasper, Edward and Emmett because they always went for the animals that were more to my taste.
"Hey, Sweetheart! Think you can out hunt me?" Emmett chuckled from right behind me. I rolled my eyes and giggled in a faux nervousness.
"I don't know Babe. I think you might me faster and stronger than me," I replied. A wicked grin, that my guy couldn't see, spread my face. Edward laughed.
You're seriously going to play him like that. Get his hopes up and smash them when you take down three hunters in the time it takes him to get one? This should be interesting to watch.
But Edward, that's the fun of it. He'll be okay. Em just needs a little ego deflation today. That's all.
Then I picked up the speed and left the boys in the dust. I heard Emmett curse behind me and Edward and Jasper laugh at his shock. It was time to hunt and hunt supreme.
*********
"That's not fair! You didn't tell me you were faster than Hell!" Emmett was complaining after I'd bagged two mountain lions and a black bear before he could finish wrestling with his first bear.
"What's wrong Babe? A little surprised?" Edward and Jasper were roaring with laughter. They were completing lightened by the expression on Emmett's face when I'd interrupted his one animal feast and my eyes were already glowing topazes in my face.
He just grumbled for a few more minutes. Then, seemingly without warning, he pounced at me. I stepped two steps to the right. By hair swung around my face with the wind of his passage. Then I turned and jumped onto him. It all happened in less then a second, and then Emmett was the one on the ground.
I kissed his neck and his nose and whispered into his ear, "Good try, but you have to be quicker than that Honey."
He was about to kiss me when I stiffened. He pulled me upright on our feet and I saw that Edward was seeing the same thing. It was one of Alice's visions.
A brown haired beauty was walking alone in Port Angeles. Her face was fear stricken and thoughtful. She seemed to be trying to get away from something. That was all Alice saw, but it was enough to send Edward reeling. Bella Swan was going to be in some sort of trouble tonight. That must have been why Alice had seen him dashing off so quickly.
Edward! GO!
He was gone in the next second. I took Emmett's hand and dragged him back to the cars as well. Jasper followed closely behind. The Volvo was gone when we got there, but the rest of my family was there and ready to head home.
