"Where are you going?" I heard Jasper ask.

"I'm taking your brother to hunt." I answered.

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

I'm sure I'll need it.

Just as I was walking out of the door, I paused and turned to look at Alice.

"Alice?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for giving me a chance. I won't let you down. Any of you. And I think we're going to be great friends." I smiled at her.

She gave me a tight smile.

I walked along the long hallway and I stood in front Edwards door.

This would be the first time I saw Edwards room after 63 years. I don't feel prepared to see it again, but if you ask me, I don't think I would ever be prepared for seeing his room again.

I took a deep breath and knocked on his doors.

I held my breath till I heard his voice.

"Come in."

I slowly turned the handle and stepped in a universe made of memories.

As I stepped into his room, my eyes began to wander around.

I looked at all the things in his room. Nothing has changed. Not one single thing.

The entire western part of his room was still covered with shelves and shelves of CD's. I always thought that his room was better stocked than a music store. In the corner was still the old worthy music system. And at the opposite side was the black leather couch, which contained so many wonderful memories of our time together, as this whole room did. The floor was covered with athethick golden carpet, and on the walls hung the same old heavy fabric a slightly darker shade than the carpet was. Absolutely nothing has changed. Each book, each CD, was on its place.

But what shocked me the most, were the pictures of Edward and me, next to the black couch on which he currently was lying with his eyes closed.

In the pictures we looked happy and in love. Looking at the pictures, I realized how much more I missed our times together now that I'm near him actually.

I missed the feeling I would get when I would touch him,

I missed the butterflies I would feel when he smiled at me,

And I missed the feeling of his lips touching mine.

I missed him.

I missed us.

Thinking about him, my heart started to hurt like it always did at the thought of him.

I was thinking that if I would be near him I wouldn't feel this pain anymore, but I was wrong. I would feel this pain as long as we are not together. As long as I don't feel his lips pressed against mine, and as long as I don't hear him say that he still wants me and loves me.

I looked at his face for the first time since I entered this room. His eyes were closed, the rings underneath them deep purple. His expression was very peaceful, like he was dreaming pleasant things. My lungs filled deep with his sweet scent. Now as a vampire I could smell his sweet scent much better than I could as a human.

His eyes opened and he looked at me.

His black-as-night eyes revealed nothing but emptiness. It was like he was dead. His eyes were empty and cold.

I had to restrain myself not to shudder from the coldness in his eyes.

He didn't asked me anything, he just raised an eyebrow.

"You don't seem surprised to you see me." I commented.

"You're the only one in this house whose thoughts I can't read. So I figured out it was you."

I nodded and walked over to the shelves with his CD's. I needed some more time to think of a way to get him to come with me hunting. I studied the CD's for a while until I came across a CD I was very familiar with.

I took it from the shelves and turned to him.

"You still listen to Debussy?" I asked while holding up the CD, so he could see it.

Suddenly he was in front of me and he took the CD from my hand and returned it to its place.

"Don't touch that." He said with his back facing me. I couldn't see his expression but I could tell by his tone that he was upset.

"Sorry."

"Why did you come here?" he asked.

"I wanted to apologize for yesterday."

"Shouldn't I be the one apologizing?" he asked turning around to look at me.

His question shocked me. I thought he hated me and therefore he didn't feel the need to apologize for his words he said to me.

He saw my shocked expression and started speaking.

He always knew what I was feeling and he always could my read my expression by just one look. I'm kind of glad that he still can.

"I still have my manners, no matter what I think of you."

I couldn't help myself but ask. "Or did Esme say something about you being nice to me?"

His lips twitched as if they wanted to smile, but he restrained himself. It was like he didn't let himself to smile, like he was punishing himself with being unhappy.

"Kind of."

I laughed. "I knew it."

Even thought I laughed, I couldn't help myself but feel the pain in my chest at the knowing that he is just being a little nice to me because someone else told him to.

"I'm sorry I was so harsh on you, but… I meant it. At least the part where I told you I will be watching you."

"I sort of had the feeling that you wouldn't trust me easily."

He just nodded.

We stayed in an awkward silence for few minutes.

I couldn't take the silence anymore so I just asked the question.

"I was wondering if you would go hunting with me?" I asked while looking at the golden carped.

"I told you I don't go hunting." He answered in a cold voice.

"You told me you don't go hunting with your family."

"It's the same thing. Why don't you go with someone else?"

"Everyone went last night. And I see you didn't go hunting in a while, so I thought you would want to join me."

"I don't go hunting anymore." He told me again while walking to the couch to sit down.

"You could use a hunt once in a while."

"I don't want to go hunting with you." He said harshly.

I tried to not feel the pain at his tone. I reminded myself that he doesn't know me and he looks at me as a treat. As Marie, the Volturi princess.

"Please. You could look at it as a peace maker."

"You really think after one hunt with you I will trust you?"

"No, but I want to earn your trust. And a hunting trip seems like a good start."

He looked at me for a while.

"Why do you want me to trust you?"

"It just doesn't feel right living in a house in which someone hates me. If you don't want to trust me, then fine. But come with me so you could at least get to know me little more and see I don't mean any harm to you or your family."

"I could know that if you just let me in your mind. Why don't you lift your shield up so I could see what you're thinking about?"

"I will. But not now."

"Then when?!" I could hear it in Edwards voice that he is starting to get angry.

"When the right time comes. Don't worry; when the time comes you'll be the first one to know everything. I promise."

"I don't like it. I don't like you."

And the pain in my chest has return.

"I figured that much out." I said in a quiet voice as I looked at the floor.

There was silence for a few minutes. I tried to think of a new way to get him hunting with me, but I couldn't come up with anything.

"Wait for me in your room. I will get changed and then we'll go hunting. " I heard him say.

I looked up and started to smile wide. "Really?!"

"Yes, now go before I change my mind."

"Thank you!" I yelled as I ran through his door in my room.

As I entered my room I noticed it was empty. I half-expected for Jasper and Alice to be still here.

Oh, well.

I couldn't describe my happiness! Finally I get some alone time with Edward! Who knows, maybe this hunting trip will be more successful than I thought.

A knock brought me out of my daydreaming. That was quick.

I run to the door and opened it.

As I expected, Edward was standing there. He had a black t-shirt and simple jeans on. But he couldn't look more perfect.

"Are we going?" he asked in a bored tone. His tone annoyed me a little, but I knew better than say anything about it.

"Yes." I said as I walked to the stairs.

As we entered the living room, we saw Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmet watching TV.

When Rosalie heard us, she turned around and flashed me smile.

"Hey, Marie. Are you going somewhere?" she asked looking at us as we walked to the door.

"Yes, Marie and I are going hunting." Edward answered instead of me.

As soon as he said the words, everyone turned to look at him in shock.

"You are going hunting?" Emmett asked in shock.

Edward nodded and walked through the door.

I looked at Alice and she smiled at me like she was saying Good job.

I smiled at them. "Well, I'll see you guys later."

I walked outside to find Edward waiting for me.

"Where are we going?"

"Follow me." He said and took off running in the woods.

I quickly followed him.

We ran for what seemed hours long.

At one point I forgot why we were running. It seemed as two friends decided to have some fun and discover the forest.

When all of sudden Edward came to a stop. I didn't see it coming so I run a couple of yards before I came to a stop, too.

I turned to look at Edward. "Why did-"

"Shh!" he whispered and titled his head to the right side as he was listening to something.

I became quiet and listened too.

There, in the distance, we could hear two heartbeats. And by the sound of it, I would tell it were two grizzly bears.

We looked each other for a second.

"One for you, one for me." I said to Edward and took off in the direction where the sound was coming from.

As I first arrived, I could see that I was right. A couple of feet in front of me, totally unaware of their near future, two grizzly bears were playing with each other. One was a grown-up grizzly bear, and the other was just a baby. Probably mummy -bear and baby-bear.

I decided that I should give the bigger one – mummy-bear – to Edward. He was way hungrier than I was. I hunted two days ago, anyway. This whole hunting trip was all about Edward.

I heard Edwards footsteps coming fast, so I jumped on the baby-bear and I stuck my teeth into his neck. Hot and moist blood went down my throat. The heat of the blood spread down my whole body, heating even my fingertips and toes. It tasted so good.

I finished with my bear quickly. I stood up and threw the dead body in the distance. I smoothed my clothes a little. After years of practicing, I finally learned how to hunt without getting messed up.

I turned around and decided to watch Edward for a while.

Watching Edward while hunting was surprisingly a sensual experience. The flexible reflections were like an attack of a winding snake; his hands were so sure, so strong, so completely inescapable; his full lips were perfect as they gracefully spread across the glistening teeth. He was magnificent.

He was quick. He turned around and looked at me in surprise. His eyes returning slightly to his usual color – the wonderful honey gold color. But he needed more.

"You're finished?" he asked.

"Yeah, my bear wasn't as big as yours."

"I noticed that. Why didn't you take the bigger one? You could choose. You were the first one here."

"I figured that you needed it more than I did."

He nodded. "Thank you."

I just smiled. "Why don't we go hunt some more?" I asked.

"That's not a bad idea." He said and took off running.

After few more hours we were finally full. Well, he was. I was full after the first grizzly bear.

I took down on more deer, and Edward found one more grizzly bear and four deer's.

As we were hunting, we passed a cliff with a wonderful view. Below the cliff was the forest. The reddish brown leaves turned into a sea full of beautiful colors. And behind forest, the hills which were lit by sun rays created a beautiful picture.

Both Edward and I decided to enjoy the view a little once we were finished with the hunting.

As we walked to the cliff in human pace, I imaged what would it be like if we were together. I would hold his hand while walking. We would spend the whole night just enjoying the view of the cliff and just enjoying the time we spend together.

Suddenly a vision brought me out of my daydreaming.

Edward and I were at bottom of a cliff, with our backs pressed against the cliff, while eight werewolves surrounded us, with their teeth showing and them growling at us, ready to take us down.

I froze at the vision.

Edward noticed my sudden mood change.

"Is everything alright?" he asked. I looked at him with panicked eyes.

"No! RUN!" I yelled, grabbing his hand and starting to run. I tried to ignore the feeling that passed trough me as we touched, and tried to think of a way how to save us.

"What? Why? What is going on?" he asked while running with me.

I turned left and then right again. I could hear them. I could hear them running and trying to find us. It was too late. They already smelled us.

I could buy us some time with running around, but at the end they would find us.

"Shit! Werewolves!" I heard Edward curse.

I guess he heard their thoughts.

Edward started leading and we were running faster.

But out of nowhere three wolves cut our way. They were growling at us.

We backed away slowly until our backs hit something hard. I turned around for a quick second and saw that it was the same cliff that was in my vision.

It didn't pass much time till the other five wolves came.

They were slowly approaching us ready to kill us.

I won't let that happen.

I just saw Edward after so many years, and he just started to be some what friendly to me again, and I'm not going to let my plan get ruined by some stupid werewolves.

I stepped forward ready to make them feel sorry for ruing my day with Edward.
