Allette's POV
On the mountain, I soon found something worth chasing. I could smell lion, bear and wolves, as well as the usual deer and smaller herbivores, and I darted in the direction of the nearest carnivore, which was at that moment a large bear. Corin followed my movements, a protective shadow mirroring my leaps. I was glad he was there to stop me from losing control, especially if an unwitting human stumbled upon us. At least, I hoped he would be able to stop himself. I pushed those thoughts away, and I gave myself to the hunt.
The bear was very close now. It had not smelled me, and so I was able to leap upon it and drink from its veins before it could escape or attack. Corin joined me once he twisted its neck to stop it from suffering, and together we drank our fill, or as close as we could come. I did feel better after Corin brought down a wolf, no longer burning through thirst, but the whole situation made me long ever so slightly for my simpler human life. I adored Corin, and I loved the flying and running, but I missed my family, and the feeling of complete contentment I used to feel after eating, no longer hungry or thirsty and able to relax and not worry about needing to hunt again in the near future.
When Corin nudged me, I realised I had been staring for seconds at the forest floor, unmoving. Evidently, this was not something vampires tended to do, especially newborns. I saw the worried look on his face filled with concerned adoration and realised that whatever I wished for from my human life, this was how I lived now, and the beautiful love I could see in Corin's face for me made the loss of it worthwhile. Smiling again, I took his hand, and we darted back to a clearing we had passed, where I spread my wings and we leapt as one into the air, headed back to the acceptance of our new home with the Cullens.
