Edward and Bella
Chapter 21
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for the reviews! Here is chapter 21! This story is so close to being done! Thanks again!
Last chapter:
EPOV: I smiled at her one more time before leaping out the window.
EPOV:
I stared at her, and tensed up, letting her scent engulf me. It would be just the thing I needed to satisfy my thirst.
I crouched down, and jumped onto her back, biting her neck. She thrashed around for a few seconds at first, but then became still and lifeless.
I drained her, letting her sweet blood flow into me. When I was done, I picked up her lifeless body and disposed of it by a nearby tree. I felt a bit stronger.
And then something hit me and knocked me to the ground. I struggled against it, and managed to kick my intruder off of me.
"Emmett!" I yelled at him, who was beginning to get up and attack me once again. "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me while I'm hunting?"
"Ah, but you just finished." He inclined his head over to the tree where I had just disposed of my prey—a mountain lion.
I sighed, and then swiftly attacked Emmett in the stomach. I knocked him over, but then he kicked me off of him.
We attacked each other until Jasper came and broke up apart.
Emmett grinned up at him from the ground.
"Finished, Jazz?"
Jasper glared at him. He didn't like it when anyone except Alice called him Jazz.
"Yes, Emmey. I had a couple of deer, and two mountain lions. Find any bears?"
"No, I couldn't find any. So in the end I had to deal with a rabbit, a deer, and three mountain lions.
As soon as I had gotten back from my talk with Bella, I had prepared to go hunting. Jasper and Emmett decided to tag along.
Emmett looked at me with a grimace on his face.
"Seriously, Eddie. How do you stand mountain lions? Their taste is so bland. I mean, I would drink their blood if I were desperate but…"
Edward, came Jasper's thoughts.
I nodded, but didn't look at him.
Shall we?
I grinned, and saw Jasper grin back, getting in a tackling position.
And then both of us were on Emmett, pinning him down.
"Hey, no fair! Two against one!" he yelled before throwing us off of him.

It was around two o'clock in the morning when we were halfway to Forks.
We had taken Emmett's jeep since we were going up in the mountains to hunt, and his jeep was made for that kind of stuff.
Emmett was driving, I was in the passenger seat, and Jasper was in the back.
"Hey, Edward?"
"Yeah, Jasper?"
"You're going back right?"
I knew what he was talking about.
"Yes, I am."
I had told my whole family what had happened at Bella's house. Carlisle was fine with the idea of me being over at her house as long as I avoided Charlie and was under control of myself.
Alice and Esme had agreed with Carlisle. Everyone else didn't. They said it was dangerous—Charlie was best friends with Billy, the father of Jacob. It would be best to leave well enough alone.
But in the end, Alice managed to convince Jasper and Emmett that it was indeed safe for me to be around her, but Rosalie wasn't convinced, even when Emmett begged her to understand.
Then Rosalie stalked off, angry that her husband would side with me.
But yes, I was planning on going back.
"Hey, Edward. Do you think you love her?" asked Emmett.
Jasper watched us from the backseat, also curious to my answer.
I was quiet, thinking of how to answer. That question had also been on my mind lately.
Emmett misinterpreted my silence.
"Aw, Eddie! You love Bella don't you? Well, that's sweet! But you better be careful though. If Charlie ever found out that a Cold One loved his daughter…"
"Shut up Emmett before I make you crash your jeep!"
I leaned my head on the window.
Did I love Bella?
Even if I wanted to kill her, to drain her of her sweet blood; even if she knew about me but wasn't afraid; even if her friends were werewolves, my mortal enemy; even if her dad kept telling and warning her to stay away from me.
Yes, I finally decided. Yes, I did love her.
Well, how did you like it? Sorry it's a bit short…promise the next one will be longer...exciting...
Just curious, but who or what did you think Edward was going to kill in the beginning?
Anyway, thanks for reading! Next chapter for Second Chance will be coming up, along with another chapter for this!
