Emmett POV

Sweet! I was going to teach her how to hunt. I was psyched. I kept going over in my head the best way to teach her. I could just go straight for it and show her myself, or I could bust out the pie charts and dry erase board.

"Emmett keep it simple" I heard Edward tell me over his piano.

"Fine Eddie. I'll just tell her how to do it then." He hissed at me, I flipped him the bird.

"Emmett! Let's GO!" I heard Jasper yell from outside.

"Yeah, Yeah. I'm comin don't start crying." I wonder if I could make him cry. Definitely gotta try that sometime. It was just too damn funny to mess with the empath.

Jazzy boy was outside with Ness, Elizabeth and Jake. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Elizabeth. She was wearing camouflage. Like she needed it.

"Well you sure dress the part." I said in between my chuckles.

"Shut up, I've never done this before. I just wanted to make sure all my bases were covered." She retorted.

"Whatever you say, Liz."

"Come on, let's go. She's not going to learn anything by just standing here." Jasper brought me back into focus.

We started running into the forest.

"Right. So basically all you gotta do is just let your instincts take over. You just tackle em', kill em', and drink em'. Got it?"

"Umm...sure I guess." She looked confused. I was sucking at this.

"Ok, how 'bout you just watch me first, and then try to do what I did ok?" I hoped that would help.

"Alright."

We just kept running. I opened my senses up and smelt a herd of deer to our left. i started running after it. I looked behind me to see that Liz was running this way too. I found a large buck and quickly brought it down, drinking it dry.

I looked up to see that she had already gotten herself a doe and was halfway through it. Guess she was a quick learner.

"That was easy." She said when she came up for air.

"Not bad at all if I do say so myself." I laughed. She bent down to finish her kill when the wind shifted. Bear! And Grizzly to top it off. I looked over to Liz, she noticed the smell too and looked back at me.

"It's alright if you want to go Emmett ,I'm still working on this one. Go ahead." She laughed. Yay! I hadn't had bear in weeks. I smelled Jasper, Ness and Jake to the north, they were busy with their own kills so it was all mine.

Elizabeth POV

I was so happy. I actually did it! And I was good at it. Sure it was only a doe, but I caught it myself. I was about a third of the way finished when I smelled something much better. I couldn't quite make it out, but I knew it was an animal and it was close. I looked over to Emmett and he had the funniest face, I couldn't help but laugh. I told him to go on ahead. He clearly wanted whatever it was. He gave me a goofy grin and took off in the direction of the scent.

I went back to my doe and when I finished it, I pushed it away and got up. I was a little dirty, but I didn't think I did too bad. I wiped the blood off of my chin and smoothed out my clothes. I didn't know where the others were so I decided to go look for them.

I walked about a mile when the scent hit me. It was delicious. Not tiger, but very similar. It was a cat. And it was big. I tried to fight the burning in the back of my throat. Taking a deer down was no problem, but I had never tried anything else. I didn't know how to kill a predatory animal. But it was coming my way and I felt my instincts take over and I knelt down ready to fight.

I could see it now, About twenty yards in front of me. It was a mountain lion. It was huge. It smelled GREAT. I ran at it and it let out a growl of rage. As soon as I was close enough I lunged at it. I wrapped my arms around its neck and sunk my teeth into its jugular. I could taste it's sweet blood slide down my throat. Just then I felt a sharp pain down my shoulder and heard a scream. It took me a minute to realize it was my scream, and then I was on the ground. The cat was on top of me, its teeth came closer and closer...

Emmett POV

I followed its scent about 2 miles to the west. It was a huge male grizzly. It looked just like that one in Tennessee. This was going to be good. I ran up behind it and smacked it on its butt. It took a swipe at me but missed. I kept running around and around it, smacking it every once in a while. They tasted better when they were angry. Finally I got tired of the game and sank my teeth into its neck, savoring the sweet taste of the warm liquid that flowed into my mouth. Oh it was so good! It was about halfway drained when I heard it.

A scream.

Elizabeth's scream.

Shit.

I dropped the bear and ran as fast as I could towards Elizabeth. I can't be3lieve I left her alone. And on her first hunt too. God knows what could have happened. I heard another scream and ran faster.

When I finally found her I saw that the others had came back as well. Jacob was pulling a huge mountain lion off of her while Jasper and Nessie tried to figure out what had happened. I looked at Elizabeth. She was covered in blood. Some of it was the lions but most of it I could smell was hers. Shit Edward and Bella were going to kill me for this.

She was crying and mumbling something that I couldn't make out. We had to get her back to Carlisle. From what I could smell she was still losing a lot of blood. Jasper tried to pick her up and she screamed again. That's when we saw it. On the back of her left shoulder and down her back were four long gashes. The damn lion had gotten to her. I ran over and practically pushed Jasper out of the way.

"I've got her. You try and keep her calm. Ness, you and Jacob run ahead and make sure Carlisle is ready. " I barked out.

I picked her up and she yelled out. I made sure not to bother her shoulder as I adjusted her into my arms so I could run.

"It's alright baby. I got you. I'm so sorry I was so stupid. This is all my fault." I told her. Her eyes started to close and I figured that was a bad thing.

"No Liz. You gotta keep your eyes open, You gotta stay awake for me ok. Just a little longer. We're almost there. Look at me baby." God I was so scared. She was hurt bad and I didn't know what the hell to do. I could feel Jasper sending her waves of adrenaline trying to keep her conscious.

What felt like an eternity later we finally made it to the house and everyone ran out to meet us.

"Jasper get her inside. I've got to get the bleeding to stop." I heard Carlisle say.

"Is she alright? What happened? Elizabeth? Can you hear me?" Bella was screaming.

Edward was right beside her. I was so worried about Elizabeth that I didn't even see him making his way towards me until I felt his fist collide with my jaw. I didn't even fight back. I completely deserved it and I just hoped he knew how bad I felt.

Suddenly Jake and Jasper were there pulling him off of me.

"Edward enough. Elizabeth needs you more right now than Emmett needs a beating. Let's go." I heard Jake say as Jasper sent us all waves of calm.

Edward let go of me and made his way back into the house. I didn't know what else to do so I just followed behind with my tail in between my legs.

When I got inside I saw that Carlisle, Bella and Esme were all crowded around Liz, who was laid on her stomach on the couch. Her shirt had been torn away from her shoulder, making the four red gashes much more visible. They looked nasty. Nessie was crying in the corner while Jacob rubbed her back and whispered reassurances to her. Jasper and Alice were behind the couch, watching everything.

"Is she going to be alright?" I heard Bella ask Carlisle. He was getting a needle and thread ready.

"The cuts are deep and will probably scar, but we got her back in time to clean them well and stop the bleeding before it got too serious, so there's less risk of infection. She should heal faster than a human, but not necessarily as fast as one of the wolves. I'll stitch her up and see if I can get some fluids and maybe a blood transfusion in her." He said as he began to sew. He must have sedated her because her eyes were closed and she didn't seem to notice the needle.

I sank into a chair and just stared at her. She was going to be ok. But she was damaged. I should have stayed with her. She got hurt because of me. I couldn't take it anymore. I ran out of the house and kept running. I didn't realize where I was until I got to the boulder by the river that I had Followed her to the other night. I sat down and let my misery take me away.
