Chapter 9

Alice bounced into the bath room "Here are your clothes Bella."

Edward left me in the bathroom and shut the door. I changed extremely quickly and looked into the mirror observing all the changes. My hair looks pretty though so does my boobs and butt. Now Edward and I look like we belong together. I smiled at the notion. Blah, I can't wait till my eyes turn gold like Edwards. This red is going to get old quick. I thought to myself. I stepped out the bathroom door.

"Bella what did you do?" Edward questioned.

"What do you mean I changed?" I answered curiously.

"Yeah you change more than your clothes. You're eyes are topaz."

"No they aren't they're red." I looked back into the mirror, they still looked red, then I turned back towards Edward. "I can't wait till they turn topaz though. I can't stand this color."

"Love your wish apparently is your own command. Your eye just flashed from red back to topaz."

"Hmm. Maybe you control how others perceive you." Carlisle presumed.

"Ok now that's pretty freaking cool." Rose admitted. I had to agree.

"We need to go hunting." Edward decided grabbing my hand and leading me downstairs, everyone followed us.

"We don't know how she'll handle the first hunt so everyone stay around Bella but give her enough space to not feel crowded." Carlisle commanded. As soon as we were outside Jacob phased.

"Ready love?" Edward asked I nodded. We began running hand in hand towards the forest. He was pulling me trying to push me to go faster but I was already going as fast as I could. After about 5 minutes I stopped, sniffed, and caught 5 distinct scents other than my family. One smelled kind of bad I figured it was Jacob, one smelled glorious better than anything I've ever smelled, and three smelled mediocre, similar yet different. I looked to Edward questioningly. He took a whiff of the air.

"Jacob's the odor." Edward smirked. Jacob growled towards Edward. "I smell three deer, and one human track." I looked at him anxiously. "Nothing to worry about it's days old. Track the deer, love, use your instincts." I focused within me willing myself not to smell the human or Jacob so I could just focus on my prey. I stopped smelling them all together. I took another whiff facing Jacob trying to track his scent to see if it was still there and sure enough it was like he wasn't there. I started willing myself to smell him and concentrated harder and his smell returned. I smiled to myself victoriously.

"Apparently not only can I adjust others perception of me, I also do the same for my perception of others." I let Edward know.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I was trying to focus on the deer scents determined to not smell the human or Jacob and It worked. Then to test I tried to bring back Jacobs scent and again it worked."

"I'm very proud of you love." Edward beamed kissing me on my forehead. "We'll have to train your ability in the coming weeks. Now hunt." He pointed in the direction of the deer.

Again I focused and followed the scent. Jasper and I were fairly close now heading into a small meadow I could see where the smell was coming from now. Jasper stopped, giving me space to hunt. I crept slowly towards the family of grazing deer stalking them like a cat until I stumbled slightly startling the deer. I froze. 'Please don't run' I thought to myself. 'I thought I was supposed to be graceful as a vampire. Only I could screw that up. That's right go back to eating.' I crouched down preparing to pounce. I over shot the buck but still was able to snap all three of their necks before they had a chance to get away. I knelt down and sunk my teeth in to the buck's neck. The warm viscous fluid gushed into waiting mouth. I continued to suck until all of the marvelous gooey liquid ceased. My thirst was lessened but had not been quenched. I began draining the doe. There were subtle differences in the texture and taste. The blood had cooled a little and was becoming more and more tacky. It tasted slightly sweeter then the buck. Once it was drained I moved to the fawn. I slightly regretted taking the fawns life. It was only a child after all. It had barely lived yet. But I rationalized my worries by telling myself it wouldn't have survived without its parents. I felt slightly better.

"I see you've retained some of your former deficient motor skills" Jasper joked as Edward walked up placing his arms around me. "You missed a spot" His voice was low and velvety. He leaned in and licked the elusive trail of blood that trickled from the right side of my mouth kissing me after I was clean.

"Mmm you taste better than the deer did." I told him as I pulled him back for another more energetic kiss. He pulled away after a moment glancing over at Jasper and giving him an apologetic look.

"We need to hide the carcasses now." Edward, Jasper, and I each grabbed some of the remains and walked towards the forest edge. There was a large gray bolder covered in green squishy moss. Edward sat down the buck and picked up the rock.

"Throw them under here." He directed. Jasper and I complied. Jasper shifted his face quickly to the right which drew mine and Edward's attention towards him.



"Jasper, get a grip. Control it." Edward warned he dropped the rock down on the lifeless deer. I looked at Edward incredulously. "You don't smell the human? He's close and bleeding"

"No I smell nothing." I replied. Jasper took off running in the direction of his attention. Edward was not far behind him.

"Stop Jasper! You don't want to do this. It's an innocent man. Alice and Carlisle will be extremely disappointed in you." Edward pleaded trying to get Jaspers attention to no avail. I was trying so hard to keep up but they were both much faster than me. Edward grabbed Jasper trying to restrain him since dialogue failed but Jasper stylishly countered his hold escaping and instantaneously shoving Edward into a tree with enough force to break the tree in half. Edward got back up and trudged towards Jasper.

"Jasper stop it this instant!" I screamed. Jasper stood motionless. His eyes were dark with thirst but his anger was fading from his face. He looked at me sheepishly like a child who knows he's about to be punished. The entire family was soon where we were standing.

"What happened?" Alice asked clearing a patch of hair from Jaspers face.

"We ran across a fresh human blood track and it overwhelmed me." Jasper explained.

"Well are you in control now?" Alice questioned.

"Kind of. I can't smell it anymore and I can't move." Jasper stated. "I think Bella did it. It happened after she shouted at me to stop." The family looked at me appraisingly. If I could blush right now I'd be 10 shades of red.

"Can you release him?" Carlisle inquired.

"I can try." I focused hard on freeing him. He started walking over to me after he gave Alice a peck.

"Thanks for whatever you did. I would have been devastated if I killed someone." Jasper wrapped his arms around me.

"You're welcome." I returned the hug.

"If everyone's done lets head back to the house and discuss this." Carlisle suggested. Edward grabbed my hand and the rest encircled me as we ran home.


Short chapter I know but I got writers block often today so I'm giving up and trying for more tomorrow. As always review your little hearts out.

Thanks, :)
