Bella's POV
My cell phone rang soon after we sat down on the sofa. I looked at the little LCD screen and smiled to myself.
"Hello Alice."
"Bella. Do you know when you told me about your past and your children, don't kill me for looking, but I know who your daughter is! And we know her." Alice started on the phone.
"Alice, Alice. Shut up will you. I know, but your call has come about a hour too late. Charlotte and Peter are already here." I told her.
"Oh Bella I'm sorry, I just thought I should tell you what I saw. How did things go with Charlotte?" Alice asked.
"Actually Al, can I call you back later?" I asked he.
"Of course Bella, I'll talk to you later ok." and with that Alice hung up the phone.
"How is Alice? I haven't seen her since the last time we were in town?" Charlotte asked Jasper.
"She is fine. No doubt now Alice knows about you, that everyone will be here soon to see you both." Jasper said looking at me.
I knew he was right. I was a little nervous if I was honest. I was still trying to get over the idea that I had my daughter back, without other people asking me questions about it.
"I know. I just need to process this myself first before I see anyone else." I said looking at Charlotte.
Charlotte looked behind me so she was looking in the kitchen.
"Mama, why can I small an animal here?" she said cringing her nose to the smell. I turned my head and saw Bobby sitting in the window waiting to come in.
"Oh its my cat." I said getting up from the sofa to open the window so the cat could come in.
"You have a cat?" Peter asked, looking confused as I picked my cat up and purred at her.
"Yes is that a problem?" I asked, as the cat purred back at me.
"Its just a bit strange that's all. As you drink from animals, I didn't assume that you would have a pet." He said.
"That's what I thought when I first saw it." Jasper said moving away from me and the cat.
I smiled and walked towards him with the cat in my arms.
"Bella keep that thing away from me, unless you want me to snap its neck." Jasper said moving around the room to get away from me.
Bobby hissed in my arms and Jasper did it back.
"Wow, ive never seen you react like that to an animal Jas. You really must not like it." Peter said.
I put bobby on the floor and she went around Jasper and smelled Charlotte and Peters legs, before going up stairs.
Jasper walked around the room, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist and kissed my head.
I looked in his eyes to see that they were getting darker than they normally were.
"Do you need to hunt?" I asked him.
"No, I'm ok for a few days yet. You look like you need too though." He said running his finger under my eye.
Now that he mentioned it, I could feel a dull burning at the back of my throat.
"Maybe I will go. I haven't been for a while. Are you going to be ok for a few hours while I'm gone?" I asked Jasper.
"I'm sure I'll be fine. Me, Peter and Charlotte can have a little catch up." Jasper said.
"Actually, Would you mind if I came with you?" Charlotte asked.
I looked at her confused by her request.
"But, you don't live like we do." I said to her.
Charlotte got up from the sofa and walked over to me.
"I know, but it is how you live and I want to make up for the years that we have los together." Charlotte said standing next to me.
"Charlotte, you don't have to change for me. Just because I've chosen to live this life it doesn't mean you have to live it too. Times have changed, you don't have to do the things that your parents want you too do." I told her.
"I know, but I want to do this for me. I've been thinking about changing my diet for a while." She told me.
Jasper looked over at Peter.
"Is she serious?" Jasper asked.
"Yes she is. Actually we have both been talking about it. There are only so many people you can kill before you start to loose your humanity." Peter explained.
"I know, but do you know how hard it is to change your life like that." Jasper asked.
"You did it." I pointed out.
"yes I know, but I had the support of my family when I tried that. I'm fine now, but it took me years and a lot of slip ups to get where I am now." Jasper confessed.
"Jasper, we know you have struggled with this, but I want to this. And if it will make Charlotte happy then I'm all for it." Peter said, going over and held Charlottes hand.
I looked at how happy by daughter was with this life that she had, even though it wasn't the life I would have chosen for her, it suited her and I didn't want her to change for me.
"I'll only let you come with me if you are really doing this for you. I don't want you to feel like you have to change yourself now that we have each other again. I want to get to know you, not what you have changed into for me." I said.
"I know, and you can still know me like that, but I want to try something different, if it doesn't work, then ill go back to the way I live now." Charlotte said. I couldn't argue with her when she said it like that.
"Fine, I'd love for you to come with me." I told Charlotte.
I walked to the front door with Charlotte close behind me.
I knew that Jasper didn't need to go hunt, but maybe, if peter wanted to change his diet so much, then maybe those too will go hunting together later. I knew that Jasper and Peter would want some time to catch up with each other, so going hunting together would be the best opportunity for them to reconnect and catch up.
Now, because I didn't exactly live in the most forested area, where ever I went hunting, I would have to drive, not a long way, but still. Me and Charlotte got into my car and we went to a small forested park that was close to the house.
When I got out of the car I was instantly assaulted with a range of scents that were in the forest. The scents coming from the trees make my throat burn more. I knew my eyes were getting darker at the thought of the blood that would soon be running down my throat.
I looked over at Charlotte, who got out of the car and was looking around us.
"So what exactly are you killing here?" she asked.
"Anything that will run away from you. The Adrenaline makes there blood so much sweeter." I told her.
"Ok. So should we go." And with that Charlotte run into the forest.
I laughed at her enthusiasm and ran in after her. It didn't take me long before I caught up with her, and that I had caught the scent of something that I haven't had in a while. Wolf. Carnivores tasted a lot better than herbivores, I thought it was because they ate meat, but that wasn't a theory that I knew was true, but it made sense.
"Charlotte!" I called into the forest that was getting denser and denser.
She appeared from behind a tree. I asked her to come over to me so that I could help he pick up the scent of an animal that she would be able to go after.
I made her listen to the sounds that the animals were making and the hints that that forest were making telling that the animal was changing direction. And then finally I get her to pick up a scent of a animal to go after. She scrunched up her nose when she caught the scent of the pack of wolves that I was dying to go after.
"They smell so wrong." She said.
"Yes, it does take a bit of getting use too, but the blood does the job. It strengthens us and keeps us alive, and we don't have to hurt anyone in the process." I told her.
"I knew that it would smell strange and I said that I would give it a go. Like you said, it is going to take some getting use too." Charlotte said. I placed a light kiss on the back of her head, letting her know that I was proud of her. I think that show of affection shocked her a little bit, because she turned around quickly and looked at me. she surprised me even more by smiling at me. Now that we both had the scent of something that would be easy on a first hunt, and it would also give us a good run.
Me and Charlotte ran after the pack of wolves that we had found, not talking us long before we caught up with them. At this point I was working totally on instincts as I ran after the pack leader and Charlotte went after another member of the pack. As we separated the pack, the one I was after left the group which made it a whole lot easier for me. I soon caught the animal and sank my teeth into its fur covered neck and let the sweet blood run down my throat. Soon the animal stopped fighting me and then slowly stopped moving all together. As soon as I had had my fill, I dropped the now lifeless carcass and went looking for charlotte.
I found her with a very much alive wolf, growling at her and baring its teeth. I knew that the animal could do no damage to her, but it was still strange to watch. Charlotte snarled at the creature before lowing into a crouch and jumping for the animal. The wolf dodged the attack and turned on her again. Charlotte jumped on the animals back and pinned it to the ground before quickly sinking her teeth into the animal. A small yelp was heard from the creature before it began to give in to its attacker. And soon the animal stopped moving all together and Charlotte let the body drop to the floor.
"So? How was that?" I asked her
"It taste weird. Not bad, just strange." She said to me.
I looked at her, considering she had been a vampire for a while, the blood that was covering her clothes looked like she was a new born vampire who had been on their first hunt. She followed my gaze and looked up at me sheepishly.
"it's a little bit messier than humans." She said, and I'm sure if she could have, she would have been blushing right now.
We continued hunting until we had had our fill before heading back to the house. When we got back to the car, I had the shock of my life when I saw Emmett leaning against the hood of my car.
"Emmett what are you doing here." I said as I walked over to him. even though Emmett was one of the biggest vampires that I had met, he was insanely quiet (When he wanted to be)
"Alice told us about Charlotte here, and everyone got curious, so we decided to pay a visit, but Alice and Edward needed to hunt first, so me and Rose joined them. We were just about to head over to your place now." Emmett explained.
"Where is Alice now?" I asked.
Just then everything went black and I felt something wrapping around my waist. I smiled at myself, knowing who it was instantly.
"Hey Alice." I said we I pulled her hands away from my eyes. She still didn't get down, she moved her arms so that they were around my neck and her chin was resting on my shoulder.
"Hey Bella. now you madam have a lot of explaining too do." She said as she looked over at Charlotte. I sighed to myself knowing that I would have to explain sooner of later, I just didn't realise that it would be so soon.
So what do we think? i thought getting Peter and Charlotte onto Bella and Jaspers diet would be a good way to carry on with the story. do you think they will do it? well you will have to read to find out :P reviews please :P
