Aww, wasnt the last chapter so cute? okay so here is the next one, there is only a couple left,
The next night I had to hunt, I had spent the whole night before holding her, letting her breath and scent assault me, the whole day I spent with her, almost always keeping skin contact with her, she had told me again that she loved me, she had threaded her fingers through mine, she hand kissed my palm. All the while I was more enthralled by her, I eagerly reminded her that I felt the same, I gently squeezed her hand in mine, I would stroke her face and tell her she was beautiful, and I would kiss her hand when it came up to mine.
She didn't flinch when I touched her, she didn't tense up or move away from me, but I knew I couldn't kiss her. My lips wanted nothing more than to find hers, to taste hers. But I knew she wasn't ready, I knew she would let me know when I could.
After I had finished a small herd of deer, took my fill of the largest male, I went in search of the trail I had neglected the previous night.
I followed it through the trees, noticing where it was leading me and briefly wondering if I was following an old one, before arguing with myself that this was fresh, more potent.
I wandered up the steps of the now familiar lodge,
His scent keeps leading back here, his tracking skills are weak, what does he expect to find here...?
He was here, I could hear him, I could smell him, I had no doubt he could tell I was tracking him, his thoughts alerted me that he knew I was here, he was at the door of the lodge within a second, smiling at me as if we were old friends, reuniting on the porch of the old cabin.
"Edward," he nodded, his thoughts impressed, "I didn't think you would be able to do it but you actually caught me off guard,"
I stood motionless, I refuse to converse with the monster who tore apart my family and wrecked my Bella's life,
Does he know that I know he has my human? I wonder, has he killed her, I smelt no new blood in the lodge, maybe he took her someplace else, fed on her...
His thoughts then shifted to mental images of me and Bella, my teeth sinking into her flesh, he thought I would leave her as a message to him,
"You've been tracking me," he said politely unaware that I knew where his thoughts were, I nodded curtly, my anger strangely reeled in, "I wonder, why?"
Did he really think so low of me that I would not take revenge on my family's death? He knew exactly why,
"ah, your family," he paused, smiling at me again, "you see your bonds, your breakable human bonds are why your coven fell, I was merely the tool of that destruction," he shifted his weight to his left foot, I adjusted mine, he smiled at his test, he now knew that where he moved I would move.
"Did you kill my human Edward?"
His thoughts turned to the kill again and I mentally winced, he needed a reason to attack me, claiming the girl, killing her would give him that reason,
"She is alive," I replied, his thoughts were shocked, yet he smiled at me,
"Ah," he took a step, I countered it, he was thinking of the possibilities of my words,
He was thinking through strategies, ways around me, he was going to attack.
"Did the two that tried tracking me catch up with you?"
He took my silence as a yes,
"I was so frustrated I couldn't finish the rest of you off, but Victoria advised me that now was the best time to escape, I could come back and finish the job, but I haven't came across their scent...only yours," he took another step, as did I. He became annoyed at my silence, his brow furrowed and he placed his hands behind his back, "maybe I could find her and finish the job," he was trying to provoke me, I just smiled at him,
"So you and Victoria haven't caught since the fight?" I asked, knowing the answer,
"No, I suppose your feeble attempt at tracking us has kept her in hiding, she would never attack, she is under order," I openly laughed now,
"Well that didn't stop her," I chuckled, his thoughts stopped temporarily and then flew, he was angry that she had disobeyed him, and he planned to show his mate the consequences of betrayal, this just made me laugh harder, "you won't have a chance to reprimand her James," my chuckle died as his thoughts zeroed in on the reason why, he reaction shocked me.
He was distraught, he was grief stricken, and he kept thinking over and over again that she was dead. His sadness dissolved quickly into anger, he had his reason. His body crouched over and he took his attack stance, mine almost immediately returned the threatening gesture.
He bared his teeth and me and snarled, I felt my lips pull back and a loud growl came from my chest, he stepped around the porch almost humanly slow, in a tight circle, my body, ready for the fight, mirrored his moves. He was looking for a weak spot, a place to line his attack, a place to start.
He realised that my defence was practically flawless and briefly thought about running, but his anger towards me, his lust for revenge for his mate overwhelmed his flight instinct an he propelled his body into mine, lunging for my throat.
I know its evil, but I'm going to leave you here...
The next two will be up tommorrow, thus ending this little experiment.
You see I suck at long term Fics, I'm surprised I kept this up to 11, but from my reveiws and stuff,(which are still mega awesome btw) I can see that I did something right... thanks to everyone...hehe...
