Chapter 3

Deciding and Trying

Two Weeks later…

It had been two weeks since I had visited my family in the night. I was sitting on a tree stump in a forest somewhere in Montana, since the sun was prohibiting my travel. I was reading one of the books that Carlisle had lent me. There wasn't really much to do here.

As I was nearing the climax of the book, I spotted a herd of deer in the distance. I had thought about trying the Cullen's lifestyle, but something always held me back. "What the heck," I said. I put down my book, neatly, after marking the page. I really had no idea how to do this, so I ran at the herd of deer.

They heard me coming and started to scatter. That did not go well. Well, at least I did not run in there, waving my arms, screaming at the top of my lungs and wearing a huge sign that said I was going to drink your blood.

I decided to let my instincts take over. After a few tries, I managed to catch a doe. I bit into her neck and began to drink. It was not as good as humans, but it wasn't too bad. I finished off the deer and caught myself a few others. "This is definitely different," I said to myself.

I buried the bodies before returning to my tree stump. I continued reading my book until the sun set and I was able to move. I put my book away in my backpack and left, with no inherent plan on where I was going. I thought about going to the Cullens and telling them I had tried their lifestyle, but Alice probably saw that.

I ran east, without a destination or plan in mind. It took me two days but I finally stopped in Pennsylvania. I had fed on a couple more deer on the way, seeing if it was something I could live on. I got a room at a hotel for a week, because I did not really have much planned. I went out only at night or on the rare occasion that it was overcast. I tried feeding on the animals again and again, a little more successful each time.

Thursday of that week started out like any other. It was the second straight day that it was overcast. I went out into the city, having bought and umbrella a couple of nights ago, to blend in. I did not hunt, due to the fact that I was full. I passed several humans, their smell still intoxicating to me, but I did not give in.

That was the benefit of my former coven. Though we drank the blood of humans, we did so with restraint. We did not kill humans often, we only fed when we needed to, so after my first year, only once or twice a month. We only killed what we needed and no more.

After walking around town for most of the day, I made my way back to my hotel. As I neared the door to my room, I picked up the scent of a vampire. It seemed familiar, but I was ready as I unlocked the door and opened it. I did not have to go far to see who it was. "Alice, what are you doing here?"

"I saw you hunting animals." She ran over and gave me a hug. "I'm so proud of you."

"Is it just you?"

"Jasper is in our room. I wanted to come see you once I saw your hunting. It was not easy finding you."

"Yeah," I replied. "I move as much as possible. I guess once a nomad, always a nomad."

"That's not true."

"In terms of tendencies, it is, to some extent."
"I'm just curious, I had the strangest vision. I saw you running at a herd of deer, arms flailing, screaming at the top of your lungs, wearing a sign that said, "I'm going to drink your blood." I just burst into laughing. Alice gave me a strange look.

"I was curious about your visions so I thought that I would decide on doing that, next time I fed."

"Let me guess, you haven't fed since then?"

"Nope."

"Where did that idea come from?"

"After my first attempt at hunting deer. To tell you the truth, my first attempt was about as bad as if I had done that. The only difference was no sign, no flailing of the arms and no yelling at the top of my lungs." That made Alice laugh.

"So are you going to come live with us?"

"I'm thinking about it."

"That's a yes."

"It is a nothing. You guys have a pretty full house as it is. I don't want to make it more crowded"

"You wouldn't be. Besides, we are moving soon. People are beginning to notice we aren't aging, besides, we're done with school, again."

"Alice, I'll make you a deal."

"I accept."

"You are really starting to get on my nerves with your visions. You really know what I'm going to ask?"

"Of course. You'll move in, if you get a small place of your own nearby. Esme loves renovating, so it will be her project. She'll be thrilled."

"Where are you moving, anyway?"

"Duluth, Minnesota. We're leaving in a few weeks. Carlisle has a few things to do before we go."

"As soon as I get a phone, I'll call you."

"No need, I know your phone number, we'll call."

"Alice."

"Sorry."

"That will take some getting used to."

"I have to go see Jasper." She left the room and I fell back on the bed. I grabbed the controller and turned the TV on to some stupid TV show. Even as a vampire, I loved watching TV, though while I was part of a coven, it was rare, that I got to.

A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. So Chloe has tried the vegetarian diet, and has plans to move in with the Cullens. I already know it will not be permanent, I am saying that right now. I've decided that I will hold a contest. If you make a suggestion or a review, I will keep a running tab. I will then hold a drawing for a prize. So make suggestions, I might even use them. Please review.
