Chapter 13: Hunting

I texted with speed. I told Seth that we were having a girl's day to plan the vow renewal. He told me he'd think about me all day. I said ditto. I was excited we needed a fun day just us girls. Talking about girlie stuff. It was perfect that all the guys decided to go hunting in California for the weekend. We sat on the couch in the living room, wedding magazines spread across the coffee table.

"Let's make a guest list." Alice pulled out a notebook and a pen.

"Well obviously you guy. The Denali's definitely. Zafrina, Senna, Kachiri, the Irish coven, maybe Benjamin and Tia. Also all of the wolves. Sam, Seth," she eyed me when she said that. "We should invite Charlie and of course Anna's family and that should be it. I want a small wedding." Alice had all the names in her notebook. She pulled out a few pictures of dresses. One was white and seemed to float, obviously a bridesmaid dress. The other was a wedding gown. It was gorgeous with an A-line skirt and a lace tank with a high neckline over the strapless dress. It was perfect for Esme.

"Alice, It's beautiful. I love it!" We all clapped at Esme's reaction.

"Oh Eliza you would look too cute in this one!" she showed me a dress with spaghetti straps and a bit of sliver trim.

"Wow Alice, you're really nailing the dresses."

"Thanks! It would just be perfect with a white flower in your hair!" We drooled over the dresses some more and then we discussed flowers and tablecloths and had an argument over centerpieces. We worked on scheduling dress fittings. I was getting bored.

"I'm bored," I finally declared.

"Me too. I need to hunt." Rose looked exasperated and hungry.

"Rose, can I come too? I haven't hunted in a while." She looked at Nessie who nodded in approval.

"Well It seems to be ok with Nessie so why not?"

"I'll come with you guys just in case." Bella stood up, obviously ready to do anything to get out of more wedding planning. We walked out the front door and when we were on the porch I hopped on her back so I wouldn't slow them down.

"Ready Liza?"

"Ready Freddy!" I closed my eyes and felt the air speeding by me. We didn't go too far because Nessie would be worried. I could smell deer.

Bella and I have a method. She get's the deer, kills it, and brings it to me and I do the rest. It's just easier cause she is faster and more skilled. She ran off to get me one and came back with a huge buck. I had forgotten how good blood was. I drank it thirstily licking my lips.

"You think you can do it on your own?"

"I think so. You'll be close right?"

"Yes I will. Have fun. I'm going to get some for myself." I walked quietly along toward a clearing. I could tell that deer were near by and I was ready to get at one. I entered the clearing slowly, carefully. And there he was.

He was tall, but not as tall as Jake. His hair brown and a mess with twigs and leaves. He wore shorts and a shirt that emphasized his muscles and said Abercrombie and Fitch. His feet were bare. I looked at his face last. It was so beautiful I wondered why Abercrombie didn't hire him to do their ads. Except his eyes were a dark red. He was hungry.

"Hello there."
