Bella POV:
Edward took my hand and guided me down stairs while asking. I paused for a moment when his hand was room temperature. He was warm and that thought made me smile. "How is your throat? Please let me know when you are ready to hunt." I nodded and just before we got to the end of the stairs I stopped him. I could see the panic in his eyes. He was so afraid I would hate him. He hated himself for what took place. But I could never hate him. Didn't he know me at all? I smiled at him and stepped on my tippee toes and waited for him to kiss me. He placed warm hands on my face and I closed my eyes. His lips embraced mine and as I picked myself up and held myself so tight to him. My nails grabbed onto his waist I knew I was going to get carried away, that was until I heard an annoying voice. "Gee Bella, most newborns want to hunt not-" "EMMETT!" He began laughing and as Esme interrupted. "Bella, oh Bella you look so beautiful. How do you feel?" Edward whispered that I was always beautiful. I loved that he thought so. "Fine Esme. I can't believe you're all here!" I looked across the room there they were. Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmet and Esme. My new family. Which of course reminded me of my old family. "Charlie, Renee?" Edward kissed my hand that he was holding and told me not to worry. "Alice went around and spoke to Charlie. She made up a story and convinced him that you would be back in town soon and not to worry. She also emailed Renee for you. Everything is alright Bella, you just have to concentrate on you." I nodded. Everyone was staring at me, like they were waiting for me to pounce I felt uneasy. "Don't worry Bella, we're just wondering how you're controlling your thirst the way you are. You should be going crazy right about now." Jasper comforted me with his ability and his words and I understood. "I guess we could go hunting now." Edward nodded. "No time like the present." He kissed me once more on the lips and we were on our way to our forest.
I had told him previously I wanted to see him hunt. But the idea that I was actually going to see it made me feel incredible. The vampire inside me was so thrilled when he spoke about the hunt. He told me about his strategies and the games he would play to make it last longer. To make the chase worth the wild. I wanted to speak, to tell him how incredible he looked, and how my human eyes didn't do him justice. I wanted to touch him and feel what he felt when we made love. I wanted so much there were times I had to close my eyes and focus on what he was saying before I ravished him. He kept asking if I was alright, I guess seeing me pause and close my eyes made him concern that everything was too bright. "I, it's so much Edward. It's incredible. You look so beautiful and I-" I stopped when a breeze came through and brought with it the smell of deer. "Deer." He smiled proudly. "Yes love. Are you ready?" Was I ever. The hunt lasted for hours and when he caught a glimpse of me feeding I knew he felt for me what I felt earlier. The excitement in my body was outrageous. I wanted to push the deer off me and have sex with him right here right now. But I closed my eyes and concentrated on finishing. I figured the more I drink the more I can stay away and be with Edward. When I finished Edward came over to me and was going to help me with the deer when I pushed it away like it was a tablecloth. I hadn't acknowledged my strength but I was eager to test it. He looked at me and said "It's going to take me a while before getting used to the new Bella." He said with my favourite smile. "I can't believe you didn't make a mess of yourself! I remember my first hunt, I was saturated in blood." I looked down at my shirt and jeans and realised . "Who changed me?" He began laughing. "Who do you think?" I laughed to myself Alice! Even though I was on my death bed she still had to make sure I had the right outfit on! "She gave me the clothes and spoke to me like you would be damaged if you didn't have the right outfit on or something. You only notice now?" I smiled and walked over to him. When I put my hand to his face I noticed we matched. We both had beautiful skin and I couldn't wait to see if I sparkled in the sun too. While touching his cheek I noticed something disturbing. "My ring!" I pulled my hand back and grabbed it back. "It's okay. It's at home. I wanted to keep it safe for you." I was so relieved. We stood there silently and I knew we had to get back to his house very soon. I could only hold off my urges for minutes. He must have known what I was thinking, because the next thing I knew I was in his arms and we were on our way home.
