Chapter 14 Hunting
The next day my eyes were completely black because I was thirsty, it was also making me grouchy.
"He Bella" Alice cheered as she skipped into my room while I was getting ready to go on my hunting trip with Jacob and Carlisle.
"For god sake Alice would you leave me alone" I shouted and her face turned sour and looked hurt "I'm sorry Alice I'm a bit on edge that's why I'm going hunting because when I'm well fed I can control my emotions better,"
"It's okay Bella we all went through the same thing I just wasn't expecting you too snap at me is all"
"Well, I'm still sorry" I smiled too her and have her hug before she left me to myself.
I got some suitable clothes out for the trip, some skinny jeans, a checkered shirt with a denim jacket. It comfy and easy to move in so I thought it was perfect, also I picked some black and white converse which I picked because converse are my favourite. I didn't know how long we were going to be so I packed 3 more of the similar outfit since Alice bought quite a lot of clothes for me, she never let's me wear them more than once.
The place where we are going to hunt is somewhere south of mount Rainer, Emmett suggested it because apparently there's loads of bears. No humans go there unless its open season because its dangerous.
Jacob was at the bottom of the stairs eagerly waiting for me so we could get going, Emmett however was chilling out on the couch watching sports
"Come on Emmett, I'm not in the mood to wait any longer lets go and hunt before I lose it" I demanded.
"Alright calm down Bella, what are you going to be like on journey?" He asked.
"I'll be worse if we don't get going now"
We all ran out of the house, me and Emmett waited for Jacob to shift into his wolf form so he could keep up with us. I on the other hand didn't want to phase, instead I was just going to run with vampire speed, it's not as good as my wolf speed but I knew Emmett wouldn't like me and Jacob having silent conversations. We set of into the woods going at our top speed heading to wherever we were going.
"So Emmett you spoken to Rose at all these past few days?" I asked trying to start a conversation.
"Yesterday morning I went over to where she had been staying these past few days"
"What did she say?"
"She says she is only jealous of you because your beautiful, powerful and you made Edward fall head over heels for you without evening blinking"
"Well the next time you do see her tell her too come back, I don't want to break up more of your family and I'm sure if we try we can both be really good friends"
"I believe that too Bella, I really miss her when she's not at home but I can't leave Carlisle he's all I've ever known," he admitted.
"I did wonder why you hadn't gone with Rosalie as well but I guess it's good she's on her own, it makes it easier to think clearly that way" I explained "being around your mate can be very distracting I know when I'm around Jacob he's all I can think about. Right now I'm thinking of him"
"Yeah I get that a lot with Rose" we were still running as we talked and before we knew it we was almost three quarters of out way there.
Two or three minutes later we arrived at our destination and Jacob shifted back so he could at least talked to me, but I embraced him into a heated kiss that nearly devoured myself control. Emmett cleared his throat which made us break apart and said.
"Well if you two going at it all the time were not going to eat much during this trip are we?"
"Okay Emmett what's next then?"
"Well I'm going to get some logs for us to sit on and Jacob you can get wood for I fire" he told us.
"Why do we need a fire, we're not going to get cold"
"Yes I know that but it's always calming to have a fire and from what I've heard and seen today you really need to chill out"
"Yes I do, so is there anything I can do to help?" I asked curious as to why he did t assign me a job like he did to Jacob.
"No just don't break any trees in attempt to get rid of your frustration" so that's why he thinks I'm going to go off into a newborn vampire tantrum. Predictable Emmett.
After we had lit the fire and sat around it a cuddled up to Jacob, his body warmth alone keeps me calm.
"I'm going to go catch some bear, won't be long" I told them both, I stood up a d Jacob followed because he didn't like to be apart from. To be honest I felt the same way.
We got to the middles of the forest where there is more likely to be bears. Focusing on my senses I breathed in the cool air and found my prey now that I was sure that there was a bear in the area . I knew from the smell that it was a big brown bear that I was after and it was in a tree. I raced towards it, spotting the tawny fur. It managed to take one swipe as I leapt on it, my teeth easily finding the throbbing jugular and biting easily through the fur and muscle to drink down the warm delicious blood. I moaned as I sucked the animal dry. I could tell my eyes were much lighter, especially because it was a big bear. Since the bear eats meat it taste better than the deer I had before, it satisfied me more.
When I was finished I dropped the carcass and looked up to see Jacob a few paces behind, eyes mesmerised, and staring directly at me. I looked down, and realised that the one swipe the bear had taken me had torn the top of my checkered shirt to shreds, giving Jacob a fairly unobstructed view. When he saw me watching he refocussed on my face. "Still hungry?" I nodded. "There's another bear near by if we are quick we can catch it before it gets away"
"Let's go," I took off, using my new senses to pick up the beating heartbeat and musky scent of our prey. I took down the smaller bear, draining it very quickly. When I looked up I was in time to see Jacob shift into his wolf form and take down a deer that the bear was preying on. I was glad that Jacob had something to eat as well, even though he it's not as good as Esme's cooking he was fed.
Jacob shifted back and handed me his jacket to cover me up, he's such a gentleman. I pulled him close to me round his hip and kissed he on him jaw, I could tell he felt the same energy floating through us as I did.
"Let's head back to Emmett before he gets the wrong idea, I've quench my thirst enough now" I told him.
"Yes I agree with you, I've had enough of Emmett's teasing"
"Me too" I agreed. We ran back keeping too a pace that Jacob could keep up with since he's not as fast in his human form as he is in wolf form. After about ten minutes we arrived back and catches Emmett putting more logs on the fire, he just finished and smiled evilly at us.
"Why you wearing Jacobs shirt Bella?" He looked at us suspiciously.
"One of the bears ripped my shirt so Jacob let me have his, got a problem with that Emmett? Remember I'm still stronger than you" I dared him to try and make fun of the situation
"Sorry Bella it just looks wrong is all, no need to get defensive"
"I'm not getting defensive!" I shouted. "I'm just sick of you thinking sex things between me and Jacob when you are just misunderstanding" I told him using a much more calmer tone of voice.
"I'm going to hunt now and I will be back in 1 hour okay" Emmett told us he just wanted to get away from me that's what he was doing.
When Emmett left I decided to get out a book I had packed in my bag and a new shirt so Jacob could have his back, even though the cold didn't bother him. I slipped Jacobs and my shirt off and put on a new one, my last one was red this one is green and yellow. The colour green suited me it always had. The book I brought was gone with the wind, it's a classic and I knew Jacob would be bored so I have him am iPod that I also packed. I wouldn't know if the music I have on there would be stuff he liked, the songs were by a band called three days grace and imagine dragons and a couple of others songs. To my surprise the smile on his face made me think that he agreed with my taste music.
Using my really good hearing I could tell he was listening to 'pain by three days grace' which is one of my favourite song, I guess we have more in common than we first thought. The time went by really quickly and Emmett arrived back and sat quietly across from me. He didn't want to sit near because he thinks I'm going to lose it.
"Emmett it's okay I'm fine now I just had to let the blood settle now I feel fine you don't have to sit all the way over there on your own" I told him putting on a reassuring smile and he nodded and walk over and sat next to me.
"Promise me your not going to snap at me again" he told me.
"I promise" I said while making a crossing motion over my chest "cross my heart"
"We'll you've got your sense of humour back" he laughed.
"I never lost it just I never found anything to laugh at"
"So you've found something to laugh about then have you?" He asked me with interest.
"Yes I have" I laughed a bit before I could say what I wanted to say "have you brought any spare clothes with you?"
"No. Why?" He was really confused now.
"Oh that's going to be a problem because you've just sat in some tree sap" Jacob had heard what I said and we both burst into fits of laughter.
"Oh my god Bella now I'm going to have too run home with sticky jeans" he huffed in anger and stood up, he analysed the damage and was even more pissed off.
"Now who's the grumpy one?" I asked pouting at him to act cute.
"Shut up" he told me "let's start heading back now shall we I want to get some clean trousers on"
"Fine but you have to stop moaning grumpy" I picked up my book and packed it along with the iPod.
Jake shifted into wolf form and we were on our way back home. I was looking forward to pranking Emmett I had a couple of cunning ideas boiling in the back on mind.
