EPOV

I watched my angel as she peacefully slept, and I knew it would not take long until she awoke.

"We need to move her outside before she wakes." Carlisle spoke gently. "Rosalie and Alice rounded up some deer in the backyard. They are holding them for her first feeding. She will wake soon."

I nodded.

"Remember that this will be one of the most challenging parts. It won't always be this difficult. The first feeding is always rough because she will be completely governed by senses and will try to destroy anything in her way to ease the thirst. Then, when she comes back to reality, guilt and shame overcome and she will feel worse than anything." Carlisle did not need to speak these words, and I grew a bit frustrated at his feeling the need to do so.

"I already know this" I hissed.

Carlisle came over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "I know you know Edward. But you have not had to experience this with someone you love. I just want to make sure you are prepared. I know you want to protect her. You need to keep your anger in check and let us contain her if needed, which I know you will."

I smiled apologetically and nodded to show understanding. I felt at fault for snapping. Carlisle was right. And he was the leader of our coven, family. I respected him immensely and needed to do as he wished.

We undid the shackles that bound Bella down. I took a moment to assess her body changes. Bella was beautiful to begin with, but now she had muscle tone. I could see the fine lines of her tendons as her skin stretch across her new, toned frame. Her hair was thicker and fell in soft tendrils across her pale skin. Her lips were absolutely luscious. She was utterly breathtaking. I felt my breath hitch as my eyes traveled down her body to complete my assessment.

"Edward?" Carlisle called me.

I immediately was embarrassed and looked down to the ground mortified, as I realized where my eyes had been staring. Not only had Bella's aesthetic features enhanced, but so did her womanly curves. She filled out in her chest, and I had been staring like an uncontrollable, hormonal teenage boy.

"It's okay son. That is a perfectly normal reaction." Carlisle tried to assure me assuming the direction of my thoughts.

Emmett let out a husky chuckle and patted me on the back. "Welcome to the club." He laughed out.

I let out a low growl trying to ignore Emmett's tease.

I bent down to gently pick up Bella. As I held her in my arms, I noticed immediately the change in the feel of her skin. She was no longer hot when I touched her, nor soft. She was not cold and rock hard either. She just felt normal to me. No different than myself. I gently bent down and brushed my lips to hers.

Suddenly her body tensed in my arms, and her eyes flew upon filled with rage and ache for blood. I tightened my grip but she managed to jump away and run towards the open door.

Carlisle leaped forward and grabbed her foot. She instinctively kicked him in the face with her other foot sending him flying across the room leaving him imprinted in the basement wall, through the safety cushion. The whole house groaned and shook under the impact.

"Wow!" Emmett spoke the words all on our minds.

The kick was not strong enough to throw me into the wall like this! I shot a concerned look at Carlisle after listening to the pattern of his thoughts.

No, she couldn't be, I thought to myself.

She stopped for a second and for a brief moment you could see confusion and sadness creep on her face for what she had just done. I knew she knew this was not right, but her senses overwhelmed her. Then her eyes turned death black and she leaped forward trying to make it out the door.

She was brought to a dead stop as she collided with Jasper. Bella hit the ground with a thud, leaving another dent. Anger arouse in her blood eyes, clouded with lust to feed. Emmett and I came behind and held her to the ground. She viciously fought against us.

Without realizing what was happening, Jasper, Emmett and I were all thrown across the room and into walls, leaving Bella free. It was so powerful, and if I would have needed breath, it would have been knocked out of me. We all fell to the ground with a thud, but I looked and noticed that Carlisle was still stuck against the wall. As if he was being held there by some force. Then I met Bella's eyes and I knew.

She is telekinetic! Carlisle's thoughts shouted along in my mind with my own.

For the second time, I saw emotion flicker in her eyes. Bewilderment thickly clouded over her features, but in instant it was gone and replaced with bloodlust. She continued holding Carlisle back as if she knew he held the most power. Then as she turned and headed for the door, Carlisle fell to the ground.

"No!" Carlisle roared. "Catch her!" I had not heard his voice so authoritative in many, many years.

I ran with lightening speed. She was fast, but I was faster. She jumped through a window in the living room and began running down the dirt road that lead to town. Within seconds, I was on her heals. I knew the only way to take her down was to jump on her. I did not want to tackle her, but I did not know any other way to stop her.

"Bring her down or I will!" Emmett roared in my ear.

"Cover her eyes!" Carlisle shouted close behind. She has to make eye contact with something to use her power!

With that thought I leapt through the air and fell on Bella with an iron grip and immediately blinded her with a strong hand. We plummeted hitting the hard earth like thunder. As we lay tangled on the ground, she began to growl and snap at me. Emmett was holding her down with me by the neck as I covered her eyes and Jasper sprawled across her body.

"Get the deer!" I heard Carlisle command.

Then I saw Alice and Rosalie shoeing the herd of deer towards us. We were struggling to keep her down, but it was manageable. She was really powerful and I could only imagine the damage she could cause using her power along with her strength. I could feel the calming waves Jasper was trying to project on her, but they could not control Bella's desire. She needed to feed…now.

Carlisle threw Emmett a thick strip of fabric. He tied it tightly around her head, completely covering her eyes. She was not happy, not happy at all. Her growls were menacing, and her snap even more ferocious. As we neared her to the deer, her nose whipped up towards the deer. I knew she had grabbed their sent.

"Release her." I gave Carlisle a frantic look. It is okay Edward. Her senses will lead her to the deer. She will feed, and then we will need to calm her.

As I heard Carlisle's thoughts, Jasper and I stood up from Bella releasing her. Emmett followed in suit, but still held on to her neck, bringing her to a standing. She growled at Emmett with hate and a guttural growl rolled up to her lips as she tried hopelessly to loosen his grip and get at her blindfold. She may be strong, but Emmett was probably the only one of us who could take her during her first bloodlust and he was able to hold her down.

"I know, I know little sis – your thirsty. Smell-" and he turned her towards the deer that now Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were keeping contained. "-that is where you feed. Smell it, feel it, let it take you over."

As her body started into a lunge, Emmett knew she had felt her target and released her.

We all watched Bella as she stalked out her prey and pounced. It didn't matter that she still had her eyes covered. We could hunt blind if needed.

She was naturally violent her first time, just like we all had been. She easily took down her meal, sunk her teeth under the animals neck instinctually at the softest spot, and after making a puncture she sucked greedily to ease the thirst-filled ache in the back of her throat. Although the meal was not the most satisfying, deer was the only option at the moment. We were not sure what her strength would be like - not that her skin could be punctured, but it did hurt to be thrown around by a wild animal the first time. She would need to learn her strength and how to use if for her advantage before she could move to bigger, more challenging game.

The girls had contained the rest of the herd, so Bella could feed on two more animals. As we saw her body start to calm, she ripped her blindfold off her face. I started towards her, but Carlisle pushed me back.

"Not yet" he barely breathed.

As she looked around her, her eyes started to turn back to crimson from the death black that had overcome them earlier, and we knew her feeding time was coming to an end.

Then it was as if Bella realized what she had just done. She dropped the deer to the ground and looked around. Then she fell to her backside as if disgusted with herself, trying to scurry away from her ravaged meal.

This is exactly how we all felt after our first feeding - when reality hit. We all knew what she was going through. Carlisle released me and I came up behind her and grabbed her in my arms tightly wishing I could make her guilt and disgust go away.

Suddenly I felt my lips sucking in a sweet substance and I felt sated. As my senses calmed and I was brought back to reality, I realized exactly what I was doing. I could not see! I scratched at my face and noticed my eyes were covered. What the -

And then I saw what I had done. I immediately let go of what I was holding, and when I looked around me I saw all the carcasses. Did I do this? I thought to myself. How did I get outside? I could feel the confusion whipping across my face. I felt empty and disgusted, and I fell to my butt on the ground shaking violently trying to scoot away from the monster in me.

I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me from behind, and I automatically flinched. I struggled in his grip and just as I was almost released, suddenly Carlisle was in front of me grabbing my face, willing me to look in his eyes. I felt an instinct to do as he requested. As I looked up into his tawny gaze, I was met with compassion and understanding.

"Listen to me Bella. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what just happened. This is expected." Carlisle's voice rang through my mind in a gentle hum.

In that moment, my head began spinning with all the new sounds around me. I could hear every leaf swaying in the wind, chipmunks scurrying up trees, the sound of a beaver burrowing in the water, the plethora of insect buzzes, and the unnecessary breathing of the seven vampires that stood around me. Automatically I felt their presence. I sensed them in a way I never had before.

I felt an immense feeling of shame, as if I had done something horrible. How did I end up outside? Last I remember is Edward biting me, and then the pain, the immense amount of pain. I twisted my head out of Carlisle's touch and looked at the ground. I was embarrassed to look him in the eye. The sounds around me became too much and I threw my hands tightly up to my ears. I scrunched my eyes shut and willed everything to go away. I wanted everything to stop.

I don't know how long I sat like that, but eventually the only presence around me was the one holding me from behind, rocking me gently as I sobbed.
