Chapter 17: Draco's First Hunt

Meanwhile as Draco and his dad Severus were hunting they came upon a strange thing or at least it was strange for Draco.

Severus smiled at what they were seeing a group of 3 boys who apparently were vegetarian vampires out hunting fortunately for Draco and Severus the boys had not yet seen or apparently sensed the man and his son.

Suddenly the big one looked up and saw the boy and the man and smiled at the two of them while whispering to the two shorter ones about being seen by two humans.

Severus smiled hearing the conversation of the trio below them.

The big one said "hey guys we have been found out by a couple of humans. Do you think we should kill them so that we do not expose what we are to the rest of the surrounding area and Forks?"

The medium sized one said "no, that would be a bad idea besides the feeling I get from them is that they do not mean any threat to us and who knows they may be similar to us otherwise they would be at a camp or something instead of out in the middle of the wilderness just happening upon three vampires."

The shortest one sighed and said "I agree with Jasper if we kill them Carlisle will know about it because one either Jasper will tell Alice or Alice will have seen us make that decision and also they saw you Emmett take down a grizzly bear and they did not run screaming away from us instead they stood proudly watching what you did."

Emmett snorted and nodded.

At that point both Severus and Draco walked calmly up to the trio of boys who had been hunting in the wilderness.

Severus smiled and said "good morning or do you prefer good evening. My name is Severus Snape and this is my son Draco we are similar to you three in the fact that we are vampires. This is my son's first hunting trip and I thought I would take him someplace that would allow him to hunt without causing any undo harm to anybody or interfere in somebody else's hunting grounds."

The shortest one smiling said "right you are the new family in Forks. These are my brother's Jasper, Emmett and my name is Edward we are the Cullen boys."

Severus smiled and said "nice to meet you boys. Do you by chance have a sister named Alice; my wife mentioned meeting an Alice Cullen in a mall in Port Angeles?"

Jasper smiling said "yes, that is Edward and Emmett's sister and my girlfriend slash wife but for the sake of Forks we are simply boyfriend and girlfriend. Why do you ask?"

Draco spoke at that point saying "it is only that my sister really enjoyed speaking with her. Ever since we came to Forks the only kid her age she can talk to is me and I am her twin brother and I do not understand girls, and my sister enjoyed I think having somebody like Alice to talk to."

Draco smiling said "so Jasper you have a girlfriend, but what about your brother's Emmett and Edward?"

Emmett smiling and laughing said "oh yeah I have the hottest little girlfriend there is her name is Rosalie. She can be kind of tough at times but she is really very sweet once you get to know her a bit."

Edward smiled and shook his head saying "I don't have a girlfriend but my brothers and I do have another sister she is currently away in Alaska but will be back right before school starts up her name is Lucianna, and regrettably she does not have a mate either."

Severus nodded and said "so who all turned you kids into vampires? The reason I ask is you do not seem to have mastered any magic which means you are not born vampires but created vampires."

Edward said "well our dad Carlisle did it myself, Emmett, Rosalie and Carlisle's wife Esme were all dying and he did it to save our lives as to Alice and Jasper well Jasper was turned during the Civil War and Alice has no memory of her human life and cannot remember the change at all, but who knows maybe someday she will remember something of it or get a clue as to who was before this was done to her."

Severus nodded and Draco smiled having the first opportunity to meet a few boys his own age that he could possibly confide in.

Draco asked Edward "how do you hunt this is my first time and I want to make sure I do it right?"

Edward smiled and said "it is all reflex you will be able to do it simply by giving yourself over to the instincts you have as a vampire. Once you commit to it; it will be second nature Draco and you will find that you are good at it."

Emmett smiled and said "go on we will help you if you need the help."

Draco smiling closed his eyes to relax his mind and slip into the predator. After a few minutes he had relaxed enough and Severus leaning over to his son said "now I want you to reach out with your mind and try to locate your prey something simple maybe a bunny rabbit."

Draco snapped his eyes open and glared at his dad and said "I am not hunting some damn bunny rabbit I will concede that I do need to hunt an herbivore first but I am going for something like a deer or moose not something that is too little to bother with."

Severus smiled and said "alright Draco go ahead and close your eyes again and focus on the prey and when you have it I want you to follow your instincts to it."

Draco nodded and said "alright."

Draco closed and eyes again and focused on his relaxation and trying to locate prey that would be appealing he sensed various small animals like squirrels and chipmunks and kept right on scanning out to find something more substantial. Suddenly Draco sensed a much bigger animal about 5 miles away from his current location it was not the most appealing animal scent he could encounter but it was definitely better than returning home and wanting to feed on his sister or mom.

Draco crouched down and streaked off into the forest toward his prey only focusing on it.

After Draco left Severus turned to the three boys and said "do you have any idea what he is hunting?"

Edward spoke up saying "a mountain moose."

Severus smiled and the boys and himself followed Draco into the wilderness to see how he did on his first hunt.

A few minutes later the group of four arrived at the location seeing Draco approaching the mountain moose as if he were a mountain lion crouching way down low so as not to give his position away.

After moving into position to where he was almost within leaping distance Draco leapt forward and pounced on the moose with the force of a big rig truck and brought the animal crashing to the ground. Before the moose could rise to its feet Draco was upon it and sunk his teeth deep into the moose's throat and drew the warm bland liquid of blood deep into himself.

After a few minutes Draco stood upright and smiled slightly in disgust as the moose had done very little to quench his slight thirst.

Suddenly Draco sensed movement behind him and spun around seeing his father and the Cullen boys approaching him.

Jasper smiling said "that was very good Draco, and you did not even get any blood or damage to your clothes that is very impressive considering most newborn vamps usually end up tearing up their clothes and getting soaked in blood."

Draco smiled appreciating the compliment and the praise and said "now dad can I please hunt something that actually is pleasant I mean that moose was like drinking water and I did it but I want something more substantial."

Severus smiled and said "alright Draco do you want something real hard like a bear or do you want something intermediate like a mountain lion or wolf?"

Draco smiled and said "I want the damn bear that is the ticket."

Severus smiled and said "alright then I want you to close your eyes and start sensing outward for your prey and remember a predator is likely going to fight back against you so you will need to be very careful even though their fangs and claws will not find any purchase against your indestructible body."

Emmett smiled and said "be careful Draco. I only hunt bears and that is dangerous eating."

Draco nodded and said "alright I am ready to try the big game."

Draco then closed his eyes and focused on scanning out to see if he could find any bears in the area. It took several minutes but finally Draco found a bear about 15 miles due south of their current location that would do very nicely.

Draco opened his eyes and disappeared into the underbrush this time determined to find him something more than a simple plant eater after a few minutes.

After a while Draco came to the location where he could see and smell the bear's pungent odor and the strong desire of blood pulsing through the veins of the bears throat and muscle.

Draco slowly inched his way closer and closer to the bear always staying close to the ground never once taking his eyes off his rather large prey. As Draco approached the bear he saw clearly that the bear was a grizzly bear quite large and powerful but seeming unaware of the impending danger that it was in.

Draco finally reached the position that he was ready for when the bear turned and gave a growl as if indicating that he knew something or someone was waiting to die at the bears mighty paws and maw.

As the bear turned to face the pool of water had drank from while Draco approached and as Draco waited for the bear to lower its head.

Draco made a mighty jump forward and landed on the bears mighty back and sunk his fangs deep in the bear's throat drawing the bear's deep rich blood from his throat.

The bear struggled against the person on top of him but was unable to dislodge him and gradually the bear succumb to the weakness of losing so much blood and collapsed under the boy's superior weight and strength.

Draco continued to feed on the bear for several more minutes until he was full to the rim of the bear's blood and also knew that the bear was finished and had no more blood to give the boy. Draco slowly climbed off the bear and turned expecting to see his father and new potential friends approaching however it was several more minutes before Severus and the boys emerged from the forest.

Draco smiling said "dad, what took you all so long to get here?"

Severus smiled and said "well first we had to destroy the moose and second we did not want to get in your way of hunting so we had to wait until Edward said you had finished before we came out of the wilderness."

Draco looked perplexed at hearing that Edward had been the one who had told them he was done and wondered why but decided to wait until later to ask about it.

Emmett smiling said "Draco you need to destroy the bears body so that nobody finds it and wonders why it died and how it died."

Draco nodded and slowly began tearing the bear apart along with his father and new friends.

After they finished Edward said, "so I am guessing your sister is likely handling her issues on her own and will need the rest of us to protect her from most of the things around here that could hurt a dainty little girl like her?"

Draco simply shrugged and said, "if you say so Edward, but my sister might surprise you."
