Chapter 10:

Hunting

(Edward's POV)

Bella was hurting. She was thirsty. I should have known, but I was just so happy...

I needed to get her fed. She would stay in pain if I didn't.

I was kind of excited to see my Bella hunt. The clumsy Bella I once knew was gone, replaced by a graceful one. Watching Bella hunt was going to be like nothing else.

She was hesitant, careful while I opened the door and silently lead her out into the bright hallway of the hospital. Still so breakable looking, even though she was unbreakable.

She confused me so much, but I was glad that she did. She wasn't Bella if she didn't confuse me and amaze me by her mental silence.

Her fingers were wound with mine, still sending an ache of desire through my body. She still wanted me. She felt the same desire and the same need that I felt.

I wanted to pick her up and run back to the bathroom. There was an hunger in my body that demanded to be fed. And not in the usual way.

But I couldn't right now. I had to get her fed in the way that she needed to be fed. She was hurting. I wouldn't let her hurt.

Alice had changed her into this tiny little silk blue dress that brought out the beauty of her curves. It was hard to keep my eyes away from that.

She looked at me, her red eyes clouded with confusion. She was confused. I could sense a wave of horror radiating off of her form. She was scared, too.

I couldn't let her be scared.

"Love," I whispered, stopping us and taking her face in my hands, "don't be scared. I won't let anything hurt you. Don't be scared, Bella. Please, don't be scared."

She closed her eyes, her lips puckering out slightly in a cute, adorable way.

"I just don't know what to do." She murmured.

I slowly brought my hands down from her face, my fingers sliding down the length of her neck, and watching as it made her eyes close in pleasure. A little moan escaped from her lips.

A pang of desire ran through every inch of my body. But it would have to wait. She was first.

I put my lips to her ear, a small whimper coming from my mouth when she put her fingers in my hair.

"Don't worry, love." I whispered, enjoying the way my voice made her shiver with need. "I'll help you."

She looked into my eyes, and I started to melt. Only Bella's eyes could make me melt.

"Promise?" She asked.

"I promise." I vowed, crushing my lips with hers again. It was hard to keep myself under control. She wasn't breakable. She wasn't silk over glass anymore. She was what I was. A vampire.

I could do anything with her now.

She kissed me back with an intense force that made me growl, and as I pushed her against the wall of the hallway, I kissed hungrily at her neck as she threw her head back.

And then she cried out.

"Ow!" She whimpered, clutching her throat again. She squeezed her eyes shut and her beautiful lips were pressed into a pained frown.

"Bella." I said, worriedly. I put my fingers to her throat, just like I had earlier, trying to help any way I could. She must have been in agony.

"Edward." She cried. "It hurts."

It broke my dead heart for her to be in pain.

"I know, love, I know." I kissed the top of her head. "Let's go, Bella."

As we walked out of the hospital, a thought struck me.

Bella was a newborn, only minutes old. We had been in a hospital, filled with humans. Bleeding humans. And Bella hadn't been fed...

How did she stay so calm? How was she so perfectly controlled?

I looked at her, and she was looking straight ahead, a frown between her eyebrows, her hand clutching her throat.

I would talk to her about that later. Right now, she needed to be fed.

We stopped in the parking lot and I took both of her hands in mine.

"Let's run, Bella." I said, a smile pulling at my lips. "To the woods."

She smiled. God, she was beautiful.

"Race you!" She exclaimed, running full speed towards the woods right outside the hospital parking lot.

I ran after her. She was fast, but I was faster. When we got far enough in the woods, and I got a whiff of an animal close by, I gently grabbed her waist and halted us to a stop.

"That was so fun!!!" She shouted. She hugged me and I hugged her back, burying my face in her hair and inhaling the sweet scent of her.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." I said, kissing her neck. "Now, do you smell anything?"

She stopped smiling and looked at my face. Her eyes lingered on my lips, making the thumping desire that was burning hot in my body grow even stronger.

"You." She said.

"Besides me, love."

She tilted her head back, exposing her beautiful long, white, bare neck. It was hard to stay in my place.

Bella sniffed the air, closing her eyes and stepping forward. She was more like a goddess than a vampire.

Then her body stiffened, and her eyes snapped open.

There was a bear nearby. She had found it.

Bella, my Bella, starting running towards it.

I was scared. I knew she couldn't get hurt, but still. My Bella wrestling with a big black bear...

I shivered, and I followed her.

When I got to where she and the bear was, though, I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight.

Bella was standing in front of the bear, her eyes glazed over, and the bear was on it's hind legs.

I wanted to run up to Bella and shake her. To take her into my arms and get her out of here. To make her okay, to make her better.

But neither her or the bear was moving.

I was confused. What was going on?

Bella moved her hand slightly, and the bear moved, too. Then, ending it all, Bella made a sharp, fast motion in the air and the bear fell to the ground.

It was dead.

I watched in amazement as she walked over to the newly dead bear and bit it's neck, drinking the warm blood that used to make it live.

When she was finished, she stood, looking like a beautiful angel in her short blue dress and heels, and looked at me. I was amazed.

My Bella had a gift.

Bella looked sad, all of a sudden. And she ran back towards the hospital.

And I followed, worried about her sadness and ready to comfort her. And I was eager to find out just what her amazing gift was.
