I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! I've been really caught up with school and everything. By the way….HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Alex POV.

I hate the rain.

Not only does it make me look like a total mess, but when rain mixes with dirt, it creates mud. That mud gets all over oneself until they are a complete brown mess. Right now I am one of those unfortunate people who are covered in mud, and for the second time, I look like a half drowned cat.

I currently was running west, towards the forest. With my heightened senses including sight, I could start to see the outline of trees about four miles ahead of me.

Immediately after I jumped out the window from inside the house, a wave of freshness hit me. It was then when I realized how appetizing each one of the people in there smelled. It hit me like a brick wall. It was a very good thing that I was so distracted that I forgot my thirst.

My thirst. I could have snorted. My thirst was so bad right now that it felt like something was clawing at my neck.

I needed blood, and fast.

Hence why I was heading to the forest.

One mile to go. I was faintly worried that any humans had seen me, but as the thought went into my mind, I immediately dismissed it. At the speeds I was going, it would be impossible for a human to see me.

Running was always an escape for me. I didn't have to focus on anything while running, it was like a sixth sense.

I could start to see the landscape changing under my. I just passed the outlining of the entrance to the forest. The scent of pine trees filled my nostrils. It was a huge relief for the senses of everyone else to be long gone. Just thinking of humans made the thirst in me go wild.

Unfortunately, I couldn't open all of my senses until I was deeper in the forest. Not only would it be less likely for a human to see her, but also there would be more game.

I could see myself now, a half drowned woman with pitch black eyes and blood running down her chin, sucking the life out of a poor defenseless dear.

Attractive.

My sensitive ears started to pick up running water. Ahead of me I could see a river, maybe 15 yards wide. I couldn't help but let a grin come on my lips.

I started to increase my speed until I was heading for the river straight on. When I reached the edge of it, I took a great leap.

It felt like I was flying through the air. I was sure the adrenaline would have been great if I was still human.

I gracefully landed on the balls of my feet when I reached the other side of the river. Still smiling I turned around to see the other side. I over jumped by a few yards, but it wasn't bad.

Turning again to where I was headed, I took a deep breath ready to start running again.

This was a mistake.

Though, I suppose, its not a true mistake per say, seeing as there wasn't any humans in the area. Still, if I wanted to go deeper in the forest I should have waited to take a breath.

Almost immediately, the smell of a black bear filled myself. Nothing else in the world mattered anymore. There was nothing that was going to get in the way of myself and the blood.

I tore off towards the east; the smell came from about two miles from where I used to be standing. The scent was still driving me crazy; I couldn't have stopped even if I wanted to.

After what seemed like seconds, I was in a small clearing. The large bear was on the other side, not even hearing me approach. It was to busy eating berries by the bush.

I swiftly fell into a low crouch, my fingers were curved like claws, and my teeth were completely bared, bottom and top.

A low growl emitted from my throat. The bear looked up momentarily surprised, and it started to get up.

It was too late the moment I got a whiff of its sent.

In less than half a second, I was across the clearing. Swiftly I wrapped my hands around its neck and a loud crack seemed to flow through the forest.

Blood started to trickle down the neck as I bit into the throat. Warm liquid flow down my throat and I slowly came to my senses. I felt the extra blood that I couldn't get in my mouth slide down my chin and shirt.

Finally when the bear was completely dried of blood I got up and looked around. The bear looked so pitiful which is to be expected I suppose seeing as its dead.

I gave out a soft sigh.

I walked over to a tree and ripped it out of the ground roots and all, quickly I buried the bear and put the tree firmly back in place.

With another look at my handy work I took off in search of more prey.

In a total of a hour, I managed to find another bear (grizzly this time) an elk, and two deer. All in all, it was quite a satisfying meal.

Sorry for the short chapter but my thoughts are all bunched up right now, give me a minute to get them sorted and I should be starting on chapter five. :-)
