EPOV
My family and I went hunting leaving Bella alone. I was a little bit worried though. We didn't really know her at all. For all we knew she was an outcast human-drinking vampire. She could start destroying the house and steal whatever valuables are in the house.
Edward, relax. Your tension and worry is affecting me too. If you are worried about Bella destroying the house then don't. I really doubt she will do anything. Jasper thought to me.
Edward, don't worry about Bella, for some reason I don't find her dangerous at all. For some reason I feel like we can trust her. .. Alice thought.
We quickly made it came upon the forest and quickly went our separate ways. Hunting didn't take long. I had gotten three mountains lions, which was a low number for me but my worry is what prevented me from drinking anymore. Once I was done I ran to the meeting point, where we were all supposed to meet when we were done.
I was the first to arrive. No surprise there. I guess everyone else wasn't as worried as I was. After waiting for about a minute, the rest of the family came back. Carlisle was the last one to come back. He emerged from the trees carrying a black bucket.
"What's in the bucket, Carlisle?" I asked. He never told us that he had brought a bucket with him.
Carlisle smiled. "I brought is for Bella, I left her a note when we left telling her that I was going to bring her back some animal blood so she could try it. Maybe if she does, she might change to our diet." Carlisle said, while the rest of the family, minus me, crowded around the bucket.
"So what did you get her?" Emmett asked. "It better be something good. Is it a grizzly bear? Is it? Is it?" Emmett asked while he jumped around Carlisle. Emmett got closer to the bucket and sniffed. "No, it's not grizzly bear. Uhhhgg… She might like it a lot better than mountain lion you know."
"Sorry to disappoint you Emmett." Carlisle said while he patted Emmett's head in hopes of making him feel better. "Now, why don't we go home if we are all ready?"
We all got in our respected cars and quickly drove home. The car was silent, everyone was thinking about how Bella was going to act when we gave her the animal blood which was something that she wasn't used to. Alice kept thinking that she would like it and then would somehow continue living with us and then fall madly in love with me. I doubt that it will ever happen. Emmett kept thinking that she would really like the blood and then throw it over her head so that it drenched her. He was imagining Bella in the Carrie scene with all the blood spilling on her. Bella would then processed to laugh like a villain and start throwing things everywhere with the use of telekinesis. I am not going to comment on that.
We finally arrived back at the house. The lights were on in the living room and the sound of the TV could be clearly heard from outside the house thanks to our wonderful hearing. It seemed as if she was watching TV, and not destroying the house which was good. We made our way to the door, opened it and quickly walked into the living room. When Bella saw us standing there, she stood up.
"Bella, we brought you back some in a bucket. I hope you can find it at least somewhat appeasing as the one that you are accustomed too." Carlisle said as he handed her the bucket. She took by the handle and brought it towards her.
We looked at her expectively, hoping that she would like the blood inside.
"Uhmm…thank you?" She said, smiling a little. She lifted the lid slowly.
Edward, she is feeling dread. Do you think that she won't like it? Jasper thought. That was a good question. That feeling could only lead to her not liking it. I shook my head in a no.
Bella slowly lifted the lid to a crack. She sniffed and almost gagged. She looked up at us wondering if we saw her. The tension could now be felt in room. Carlisle was wrong. We can't change everyone. Bella quickly ripped the lid of the bucket. She looked inside the bucket, and slowly brought her hand down. Once in she lifted her hand out and looked at the deep red blood coloring her hand.
Edward, she is feeling scared right now. Jasper thought to me.
Bella stared wide eyed at the blood as if she had never seen blood. She must of since she needs blood to survive.
"What are you?" She asked silently. She was close to losing it.
"What to do mean? You are the same thing as we are Bella." Carlisle said gently. He had his hands as if he was trying to prevent her from going ballistic and attacking one of us.
"You brought me blood! Blood! Who in their right minds drinks blood?" She cried. She was now in hysterics. A wind sprang up in the room. Thunder could be heard from outside. The bucket fell from her hands splashing the couches and the floor and staining it with red. She ran out of the room and outside. We quickly followed her but she was nowhere to be seen. It was if she had vanished.
We stood by the edge of the forest trying to decide what happened, when all of a sudden Emmett screamed. We all turned to face Emmett each one of us with questionable expression as to why Emmett had screamed.
Emmett was jumping from foot to foot and pointing to the ground. "What's wrong Emmett?" Esme asked.
"So….so….some…thing grabbed my f…f…ooooot."He said.
"I bet it was a branch or a small insect, Emmett" Jasper laughed at Emmett.
"No. It was not an insect or a branch. It was something bigger and it felt fleshy." Emmett pouted and Rosalie, who was feeling sorry for her goofball husband, went over and hugged him.
"Rosalie?" Emmett asked.
"Yes, Emmett?"
"Can you please tell me that there isn't a hand wrapped around my leg?" Rosalie looked down and the rest of us followed. Around Emmett's there seemed to be a delicate pale hand surrounding Emmet's calf. The hand's arm seemed to be stuck in the ground and so when we all looked at Emmett's leg; we saw a hand and an arm sticking out from the ground.
"Can I scream now?" Emmett asked. He didn't wait for an answer and soon was screaming like a girl, jumped out of the hand and ran to ran to me, who then proceeded to push me towards the hand.
"Why is there a hand sticking out of the ground?" Esme asked.
"We should get closer and see." Carlisle said. He approached the hand and stared at it in wonder. Edward, can you hear a mind connected to the hand? Carlisle thought to me.
"No. It is all very silent. The only thoughts I can hear are ours." The hand stayed there, hanging limp from the arm. After a few seconds it started moving. The hand moved so that it was clawing at the ground trying to possibly lift its body out from beneath the earth. The hand struggled and soon another hand came up. Both hands clawed at the ground and when what seemed like hours had passed by a head emerged from the ground.
It was Bella. She hoisted herself out from the earth and when she was completely out; she looked up and met my eyes.
