A/N: When we last visited Bella and Edward, they were both thinking to themselves about their friendship, both of them wondering if it could be something more. LOVE!!!!! Any who, in this chapter, Bella and Edward hunt and share more than just apologies.

Edward's POV

After about an hour of silence, each of us in our owns thoughts, I finaly spotted a forest, and pulled over.

"What are we doing?" Bella asked.

"Hunting. You said you were thirsty and I could use a snack." I faced her and smiled. But she looked paniced.

"But Edward... I'm a vegetarian! I can't hunt poor, cute and harmless little animals!" She pouted and I just stared at her shocked.

"That information would have been useful to me... yesterday! Or five minutes ago even!" This was going to be hard. For her at least. For me it was just a matter of convincing her. "Look, the animals we are going to hunt are not 'cute'. They are mean and viscious. They aren't harmless in anyway. It's okay to kill them." I was trying to comfort her, but it was't working very well.

"KILL THEM!" She yelled. I put my head on the dashboard and groaned. "And have you thought about the fact that I don't know how to hunt!? That could bring up some problems!" she was very upset now. Uh oh. This was going to be hard for both of us.

" It's easy to hunt. No one really has to teach you. It's... an instinct." Ah ha! Instinct! I had a plan!

Bella's POV

I sighed, trying to calm my nerves. I just wouldn't be able to it! Kill something like that! Even if it wasn't a bunny or chipmunk and it was a bear or something, I was just to sweet to kill something. Why couldn't we all just be like, peaceful? And hug each other? Mmm, hug. I would love to hug Edward. I bet his muscular arms are like, totally huggable. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, hunting. So then (because it was obvious I wasn't giving in or responding) Edward said...

"Well fine then. You don't have to hunt, but I am thirsty. So come on." Before I could said no, he was at my door and pulling me through the forest. I went along fine. I would probably just shut my eyes and yell at him later anyway. And I did not want to stay in the car alone. I would freak out because of my near-claustraphobia. And that would be embarressing.

Finally we entered a cute little area surrounded with trees, and far enough in so no one could see us. Then, all of my senses went like, wild! Although it was dark, I could see perfectly and I could smell everything, and to my surprise it wasn't just a piney smell, it smelled really good. And as I kept breathing it in more and more, I got really, really, really thirsty! Like, uncontrolable! And the scary thing was, I followed the scent and my body did it on its own. Edward followed me and although part of me was freaking out (the other part was way to busy following a scent) he was calm. It even seemed to me like he was smiling. Was this his plan? Get me out here and let my instincts kick in? I would damn him, but he beat me to it.

I stopped all of the sudden. I was totally freaking out. What the hell was I doing? It was like I was like, not in control. It sucked, but in some way, I liked it. It was fun in a game kind of way. Because really, this was a game of deadly tag. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe. Okay not at all, but I was begining to enjoy it in a weird way anyway.

A rustle in the bushes startled me. My head jolted to the bush and I was in a crouch position. WHAT THE HELL? Then, a roar came from the bushes and a bear-that's right a BEAR- came out of nowhere, and the next thing I knew, I was like, wrestling the bear! I didn't know how, but I was winning! And then, I bit it, and, and... I was sucking its blood! And as much as my normal side was saying 'ew!' my vampire side was saying 'omg! this is awsome!'. Finally, when I was sure it was dead, I got up and and straightened myself out of the crouch. I realized that my throat wasn't burning. I wasn't thirsty anymore. But I had killed a bear! Again WHAT THE HELL!

"Edward," I said trying to be as calm as possible.

"Yes?" he answered evenly.

"I just killed a bear." I stared at him angrily.

"Yeah. I guess you did." he was staring emotionlessly back at me. I got even angrier at the fact that anyone could be so cold and have no compassion for someone like me, who didn't have a choice in the matter of being a vampire or not! I couldn't take it.

"NO! I JUST KILLED A BEAR! NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HADN'T BITEN ME! IF YOU HAD BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL YOURSELF! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I yelled at him as I stepped closer and closer to him, and he backed away. He didn't look scared or anything. He looked hurt. And I very quickly backed off. I felt so bad for making him feel bad. I knew he already was feeling guilty for what he had done, and all I was doing was making him feel worse. I turned my face the opposite way. "I'm-I'm sorry." I whispered. But because of us vampires having super hearing, he heard.

"No. I'm sorry. I should have had more control. It is all my fault. So, I am sorry." He came over to my side and put his hand on my shoulder. He touched me. Not as much as I would like him to have, but it was a start. "And I shouldn't have taken you hunting once you told me you didn't feel comfortable." he turned my towards him now. And I looked down.

"No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have flirted with you, and made it harder for you. And I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. If you didn't take me hunting, I would just be unbarerably thirsty in Boston, with all those people around. And that would have been dangerous. And I would have had to hunt sooner or later. So I'm totally sorry." I looked up to his face now

He smiled. "It's okay. I forgive you." he siad.

"Ditto." I smiled back. Things happened themselves from there. Our eyes met, and he leaned in, and I leaned in. And our lips touched and we kissed passionatley. We kissed for god knows how long, alone in the dark by the moonlight. It felt so right and so good it was almost natural. Now, I won't gross everyone out with tongue details, but... let's just say mine traced his lips and his traced my lips and our tongues (eventually) touched each other.

It was better than the movies my a long shot.

A/N: Okay now review and tell me what you think!
