Chapter 21

Edwards Pov: Bella's Hunt

Bella needed to hunt so that is why we were here but by the look on her face she seemed scared and worried. I decided that I had to change that, I was not having her in this state, it was neither good for her or the babies.

I moved and wrapped my arms around her waist in the hope that it would in some way comfort her. As I did so, I began rubbing gentle and soothing circles around her baby bump to help calm the babies down and give their mummy some rest.

"Love what is wrong?" I asked my love in a gentle voice.

I could feel her fear and then I heard her speak, her voice full of panic.

"Edward I can't do this, I'm not a vampire and I faint at the sight of blood, so how can I hunt, I am only human!"

I could see my efforts to calm her were not working and she was becoming more upset by the second.

Her voice shook as she said "I know….th..that our ba….bies n..need this and I f…eel like such a b…bad mom and th….their not even b…born yet".

I watched in horror and tears flooded my loves eyes and poured down her cheeks.

I reached over to her and held her face gently between my hands, I stared into her eyes and put as much feeling into my next words as I could. I needed to give her reassurance that I was there for her.

"Bella don't you ever say that do you hear me? You are going to be a great mother, the best. You have already protected our children and they are both so connected to you that they can speak to you through your mind and body from the womb. This is an amazing thing to be able to do and because you are human it should be impossible. Also my love if anyone is to be considered a bad parent it should be me because I was the uncaring monster who left you in the first place causing you only more hurt and grief".

"Oh Edward you have never been a monster how many times do I have to tell you that, I love you with all my heart and you will be a wonderful father so thank you I hope
you are right because I want to be the best mother possible for our children".

She took a deep breath and continued, "Just you wait, when they are out of my womb you will not stopping hearing how much they love you already"

I could see a big smile spread over her face as she felt the babies do some gentle kicks in her womb. They must have understood what she had said.

Bella then whispered my name in a soft but urgent tone, "Edward" and a second later she was back in my arms and I was rocking her gently.

"Edward the babies need this but I'm so scared, what if the babies get hurt I will not be able to live with myself" said Bella.

I stopped rocking her as I felt anger surge through my body at the though that she could do anything to hurt our babies, Bella would never in a million years hurt anyone, much less our babies.

"Bella I would never let anything happen to you or our children, the thought alone makes me feel like I would kill anything that attempted to hurt you or our children. I will be with you every second while you hunt and I promise I will not let anything happen to you" I promised her as the feeling of anger subsided.

"Okay Edward, but please stay close" she replied.

"Of course love I'm not going anywhere" I vowed lovingly to her.

Her next words were full of confidence.

"Okay so what do I do?".

"Let the babies take over your senses love, I am right here for you, nothing will happen" I whispered softly.

I watched Bella prepare for the hunt, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She lowered herself into a very convincing crouch using both of her hands to protect her bump.

She moved quicker than I had expected her to, and I realised then that the babies were taking control of her body, making her run as fast as a vampire could. I was amazed however I remained hot on her heels in a protective way. I was not leaving anything to chance and I would need to be there if she needed any support or assistance.


She came to a stop and I noticed that she was staring straight into the eyes of her prey, an Elk. She then set off once again, at the same speed, I was so proud of her at that moment. I honestly never thought I would see my love hunt, and still in human form, it was an amazing sight even though it went against the grain to see her do this.

It was never my intention to have my Bella hunt, to see her chase and slaughter an animal and then drink its blood, no it was never my intention for such a thing.

I watched her leap unreservedly towards her prey but instantly I realised that it was the wrong moment to take action. I watched the Elk rear up as she approached and almost felt the breath leave my own body. The Elk was about to attack her and I had to act fast, I moved in front of her and secured my love in my arms and moved her stealthily to safety, making sure that she would not be hurt in any way whatsoever.

We hit the ground with a hard thud and my body took the full force of the impact. I stayed still for a moment, holding my love secure in my arms. She had been winded and
I needed to make sure that she could catch her breath again.

I noticed that her eyes were closed and then I thought she had been hurt. I almost panicked then and began kissing her with little butterfly kisses all over her face. My voice must have sounded panicked when I spoke.

"Bella love are you okay? Are the babies okay? Please love, speak to me, you are killing me here, open your please, I need to know that your okay"

Within a second or two she opened her eyes and spoke breathlessly.

"Its okay Edward, I'm okay and so are or children"

I continued to kiss her and muttered with relief "thank god".

I was holding her tightly in my arms and I then let out a huge sigh of relief. I could not believe I, the person who had promised to keep her and the babies safe, was the very person who had put them in danger.

"Bella my love lets not try that again please, for a moment I thought I was going to lose you, and that thought nearly killed me"

Bella being Bella, immediately reassured me that they were all okay.

"Edward the babies need blood and without it they become really weak, I need to help them"

I had a better idea, I was not under any circumstances allowing her to do this again, not for anything, so from now on I decided that I was going to provide for them.

"Okay love so why don't I hunt for you and I can bring the body here so you can drink from it, how does that sound love?"

"Yes that would be good, but please don't be long".

Thank goodness that she agreed, for a moment I really thought that she would have argued about it.

"I will be back so quick that you will not have time to miss me love, now go hide behind that tree and don't move until I come back. I need you to be safe my love so please
just listen to me this one time".

"Okay Edward" was all she said.

Once my love was safe and secure, I took off running in search of the blood I needed for the babies.

Whilst I was running I sent a text to my sister, Alice to keep an eye on Bella through her visions. I knew I would not be far, but I was not leaving anything to chance. At least if Alice was watching out for her then it would give me some small peace of mind.

I had not been running for long when I spotted a mountain lion in the distance. I thought that it would be a good source of blood for the children, it would give them plenty of sustenance and last them for a while.

As I approached, I noticed that it was totally oblivious to my presence, it was washing itself by a lake. Suddenly I heard a loud shrill which detracted my interest slightly from the hunt. I then realised that it was my cell phone ringing impatiently.

Normally I would ignore it but something told me not to although I could not explain what. I reached into my jeans pocket and pulled out my cell and checked the caller ID and realised to my horror that it was Bella.

I had given her a cell phone to use in an emergency and I then thought that maybe she was calling me to tell me what kind of prey to catch. I laughed to myself then, as it were possible to put in a request for what you wanted, it was take what you could get in this game!

I answered the phone and said, "Hello love, are you missing me already, it has only been give minutes since I left you. I am about to get the babies what they need" I said happily.

Bella's voice lowered to a whisper, "Edward, please I'm scared, I need you, there's a great big bear here and I am really scared"
I could not contain my anger and my fear then.

"What" I roared over the phone and then realised that this would not be helping Bella and made a conscious effort to put some calm into my voice. I was still angry but I continued.

"Are you still at the tree love?" I asked as she had not replied to me.

"Yes, I am" she replied in a terrified voice.

"I'm on my way love please stay still and don't make any sudden movements, I will be there in two minutes" I almost begged her and then hung up the phone.

I ran faster than I had ever ran in my entire existence, the love of my life and my children were in danger and I would do anything in my power to protect them and keep them safe. That thought alone drove me on, faster and faster.

I thought crept into my mind then, how did Alice not see this, why did she not contact me to tell me that Bella would be in danger? I made a mental note to speak to her on my return, I was not happy and I would let Alice know.

I reached the little clearing where I had left my love, and I spotted the bear immediately. I ran towards it and gripped it in my hands and threw it as far as I could possibly throw it. I ran to its side and sunk my razor sharp teeth into its chest and then reached inside and pulled out its heart. Normally I would have torn apart its jugular vein as that is the fastest way to get the blood out. I could not do this with the bear as the blood was for my love and my children so I needed to keep its jugular intact until I returned to her side.

I slung the bear over my back and ran back to where my love sat. As I reached her side I threw the dead bear on the ground and gathered my love in my arms as she sobbed into my chest. Once again, I saved my love from death, and I vowed yet again that I would never allow this to happen again. How many times would I have to endure this. The thought of turning her for her own safety was becoming more appealing by the minute but I pushed that thought from my mind.

After a few minutes I quickly scanned her body for any damage that the bear may have caused. As soon as I was sure neither she or the babies were not hurt I then spoke to her.

"Thank god your okay, I should have never have left you alone here but I thought you would be safe. I should have known better, what with you being a danger magnet.

When will I ever learn my love, I am so stupid, can you forgive me?"

"Edward it's not your fault, you didn't know there would be a great big bear running around and anyway you needed to try and get our babies the blood they need. Of course I forgive you, and anyway you were back here before anything could have happened so stop apologising okay?" said my love before she leaned forward to press her lips to mine.

A few seconds later we broke apart, and I rested my his forehead onto hers and said with a smile, "dinner is served love".

"Um, how do I get the blood to the babies Edward?" asked Bella in a confused tone.

I stood up cradling me in his arms, and walked towards the bear. I asked Bella to close here eyes. I laid her down on her two feet and leaned down to rip apart the neck of the bear, the blood began spurting out at an increasing speed. Yes, I felt thirsty, yes the smell of the blood was appetising to me but this was not for me, this was for my family so I stood back and indicated to my love that the blood was ready.

I could see the uncertainty and fear in her eyes, I also noticed that she had turned a sickly shade of green and remembered that she always felt nauseous when she either seen or smelled blood. I thought then to perhaps get blood to her in another way, this way was not for her but then she surprised me.

She moved forward then, the sickly look on her face disappearing and I realised that the children must be speaking to her, making her want to do this and feel better about it.

I watched fascinated whilst she gently touched the blood with the pink tip of her tongue. I stood again transfixed and waited for revulsion to cross her features. None did, she seemed to like it!

She then took another sip of the blood and before long she was devouring the blood from the bear at a pace I could only imagine. It was an amazing sight to watch. Not long after the blood had all been drank and the babies sated.

A gentle smile crossed her face and I realised then that my love was happy and the reason for this was that the babies were happy, they were satisfied and now they had the nourishment they needed.

I watched her turn around and spotted a little baby bear cub skittering away, a gentle smile crossed my loves lips however I noticed the exhaustion creep into my loves eyes.

I gently moved her into my arms and whispered lovingly to her.

"Go to sleep love your safe" before softly humming the lullaby I had composed for her when we had first met.

"I love you Edward" she muttered sleepily

"I love you to Bella, sleep well love".

Well I hoped you liked Edward's point of view on the hunt.
