Chapter 14: Hunting Trip
We reached the river which glistened in the sunset like little diamonds. "You could have told me we were getting wet. I would have brought my wellies!" I laughed. Edward joined my laugh kissed me on the forehead. "We're going to jump over the river, like this" He said, lovingly.
Before I knew it he was in mid air! He jumped so gracefully and he even thrown in a somersault at the end and landed with no sound and stuck the landing. If there were judges around he would have gotten a ten. "Your turn Bella." He shouted.
I took a deep breath- which I no longer needed- and sprung myself into the air. I used the extra new born strength to gain a bit more height than Edward did. I didn't add the somersault on the end. I knew something would happen to me or my surroundings.
As soon as my feet touched the floor, Edward reached for my hand and said; where has all this gracefulness come from? Must have been the transformation. I shrugged my shoulders and chuckled. We then took off and was in the deep forest before I could count to three. We stopped dead, Edward put his hands on my shoulders and looked at me seriously, his eyes jet black. "Close your eyes Bella and tell me what you smell?" He told me. I did as he said and let my sense of smell take over. "I smell….. deer, and elk" I said as I sniffed up deeply. "Good, now can you tell me how many there are?" He asked, his hands still resting on my shoulders. "Erm…. about six or seven?" I guessed. "There's six of them" He said sounding proud of me.
I opened my eyes and said- before he could ask me- that the herds were north-west. He nodded his head and smiled his beautiful crooked smile. My favourite one too.
We took off again heading north-west. I didn't realise that I was beating Edward. I slowed my pace so he could catch up to me. "Catch up old timer" I joked. He did what I wanted him to do. He took my hand so we were running at the same pace.
We reached the deer and elk herds. Edward told me to be very quiet and climb the oak tree which was by our side. We were about 20ft up and could see the herds feeding at a smaller river. They smelt so good! Edward told me to catch my pray, but only when the neck was facing us as it's an easier catch.
As soon as the copper coloured deer had its neck facing me I leaped into it, fangs open and ripped right through its delicate skin. I let my instincts take over as I drained it dry and pounced like a jaguar onto the other oblivious deer. I drank about 4 four of them dry. I reminded myself that I had to save some for Edward so I stopped and wiped my mouth of any remaining blood.
Edward passed me in mid flight and did exactly the same to the rest of the herd. He was too graceful, even when hunting. My sweats were completely covered in blood whilst his clothes remained in a perfect state. Not a crease on them or a speck of blood. I shook my head and chuckled to myself. "What?" He said with a beaming smile. "Look at the state of me. I'm a complete mess, but you you're clean from head to foot? How?" I asked. "Centuries of practice, love. Don't worry you'll catch up." He said as he removed a piece of my hair out of my face.
He asked me if I was content with my thirst. I simply nodded and reached out for his hand. "Can we go and see our children please?" I asked, almost begging. "Of course. But, they're not at the house. There somewhere else."He said, calmly. When he told me they weren't at the house I went into a state of shock. I was starting to get worried, where could they be? "Come on. Let's go and see them." He said.
We started to run, heading east. Where was he taking me? Canada? I didn't have a clue.
He stopped us both as were about ten minutes into our run. He told me to close my eyes but before I knew it I had someone on my back. The person was light and small. Only one person in the world could have been that person… Alice! "Alice get off my back now! I don't want to hurt you" I warned her. "Stop whining Bella. Now come on no peeking" She said as she put both her hands over my eyes completely blinding me. Edward took my hand and started to lead me to my unknown destination.
We were walking for about five minutes but then we came to a dead stop. Alice jumped off my back, but still managed to keep her hands over my eyes. Edward told me to keep hold of his hand and follow him. We only walked a few hundred yards until we reached our final stop. "Right keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them" Alice said.
She removed her hands and I heard her footsteps as she danced her way through the earthy turf. Edward still had hold of my hand. He squeezed it gently the moment Alice told me to open my eyes. I did just that and I opened them wider and my mouth formed a perfectly round O shape from the sight that was in-front of me. "SURPRISE!" Every Cullen around shouted.
What'd y'all think? More chapters will be on their way shortly!
