Chapter 3
we were still hugging then I pulled away. Aren't you afraid?" he thought for a moment."No." I smiled at him, he must have seen my perfect gleaming teeth because he shook. "Any questions?" I asked him sarcastically. "Actually, yes." I smiled again."I have two questions for you." I said "one, what do you think I am and two, why are you out here?" "Ummmm" he obviously didn't want to answer the first question. "A vampire?" "And why do you think that's what I am? I like to know the reasons." he put his hand on his neck. "you bit me?" he said it like a question. "You're right" I said to him "Sorry." Then he took a step away from me and put his hands in front of him. I laughed at him. He took another step back. "If I were going to kill you I would have already done it by now." he put his hands down. "You still need to answer my second question." I said."I was hunting" he replied. "Me too." I told him. He shivered. Then I remembered the sharp pain on my neck. I rubbed it and said "Ouch. Wait here" before he could reply I ran back to the field and found the body of the elk. A few feet away there were two broken bullets. I picked them up and ran back."I believe these are yours." I dropped the two bullets in his hand and rubbed my neck. "That hurt." his eyes widened. "Did those hit you?" I nodded. He brushed his fingers through his hair. "Did it hurt?" I thought back to the moment when they hit me. "Kind of." he frowned
"sorry." I laughed at him again. "You're sorry for ' kind of ' hurting me. And I could have killed you. If anything I should be saying sorry again." he laughed a half-hearted laugh. "How did that ' kind of ' hurt you?" I lifted his hand and placed it on my arm, I rubbed it back and forth."Whoa, you're skin is like rock!" I laughed again. "You think I don't know that?" I noticed I was breathing again. The scent of his
blood hit me like a wrecking ball. I held my breath and covered my mouth and nose. He looked at me with a puzzled expression. Then he understood. He took another step back. "sorry." he said. "For what?" I asked him under my hand. I knew he knew. "I'm bleeding. That doesn't bother you?" Ha I knew it. "Yes. It does. I can smell it from here." I hoped my eyes weren't red that would just scare him more. "Really?" he asked. "Yeah. It smells really good."I saw him shudder. "Don't worry I can handle It." he relaxed a
little. Then he stiffened again. "Does this mean... The Cullen's..?" "yes dad." a small smile spread across his face. I had actually called him dad. He hugged me again. I huger him tightly back. I heard him stop breathing. I let go instantly. I hugged him too hard. He laughed. "Wow bells you've got some muscle on you then?" I laughed with him. "More than you can imagine." he stopped laughing and a curious
expression lit up his face. "Really?" he asked. "Yeah." I knew he wanted to see a demonstration. So I backed away and reached for the nearest tree branch. It was a good half a foot thick. "Awww I wanted
to show you something better." he just laughed. "Let's just see how you do with that." I pulled down sharply and I heard a sickening snap. I was holding the bran h in my right hand. I adjusted it and threw it as far as possible. Charlie just stood there wide eyed frozen. I snickered at him. "You didn't think I could do it could you?" he didn't respond. He just fell over. I caught him before he could hit the ground. I shook him again. His eyes opened. Another shocked expression crossed his face. "I better not show you how fast I am of you're just going to react like that." another curious expression. "Fine." I stood him up. "Now what's a good demonstration?" I thought for a moment. "I know!" I was going to do the thing Edward did to me. "Climb on my back then." he took a step back thinking he could outrun me. "Ha! You wanna race?" he nodded. "Tell you what. I'll run backwards with my eyes shut and Wesley see who wins. Oh wait! Let's make this fun! If I win I get to carry you around. And if you win I don't. Ok?" he thought he could still win. "sure." he took off running. I sighed. I turned around, shut my eyes. And started running backwards.
I could smell exactly where he had been and I raced backwards. He was next to me now and I laughed. I went faster. "Wow if you think this is fast you just wait!" I heard him slow and I stopped. His breathing
was coming fast. I laughed again. I opened my eyes. "I win! That was sooo slow. So would you prefer me carry you like a baby or piggy back ride?" he breathing was almost back to normal. "The second one
please." I went towards him and turned around. "Come on." he climbed onto my back. He didn't weigh much. "Ready?" I heard his heart beat quickly in his chest. "I'll take that as a yes." and with that I took
off running.
