Chapter 3: Hunting
Rosalie's POV:
Because we voted to stay nearby to hunt, we thought it would be easier if we separated into groups, that way we could hunt quicker. Unfortunately no one wanted to hunt with Emmett, so I decided to be in the same group as him. They didn't want to have to go to the store with him when we finished hunting. Carlisle, Esme, & Jasper went northwest while Emmett & I went northeast.
When we were about 4 miles away from town, Emmett said, "Let's go in different directions, then meet up back here when we are done." I nod and he goes north, while I head southeast. When I'm about 2 miles away from our meeting spot, I smell some very appetizing prey; it turns out to be a really big mountain lion.
When I'm full, I stop at a river so that I can clean up a little bit. After I've cleaned up, I start to head back to the place where Emmett & I decided to meet up before we split up. I'm running as fast as I possibly can, but I don't seem to be going as fast as I normally do, my eye sight isn't as good as I'm used to either.
After a couple of minutes I start to pant, which makes me panic, so I stop running in order to catch my breath. When I've finally caught my breath, I pull out my cell phone so I can call Emmett and tell him to come get me, by now I'm terrified. I think that I'm a human again only I don't know how that happened.
"Emmett, can you come get me please? Something weird happened to me. Hurry, please." I say after he answers his phone.
"Okay, I'm on my way. What's wrong with your voice? It sounds different." he replies.
I'm not sure how to respond to his question, which makes him get worried, so he nearly shouts into the phone "Rose! What's wrong! Tell me that it's nothing serious! Rose, I'm freaking out here! Rose, answer me!"
"Emmett, please calm down, I'm scared enough for the both of us just hurry!" I reply, I'm near tears at this point.
"I'm right behind you, please turn around." Emmett says then hangs up. I hang up as well, put the phone back in my pocket, then turn around slowly.
Emmett gasps. "Rose, is that you? You look human, are you a human again?" he asks, I nod.
"I think so can we go home? I would like to be in a familiar place right now." I reply, he nods the holds his arms out as if he expects me to be able to jump into them. I try, but I'm not successful, I land on my butt.
I blush, and look up at Emmett, hoping he doesn't start laughing at me. He doesn't, thank god, he just has very confused look on his face. Before I can register anything else around me, I find my self in Emmett's arms, he is holding me very carefully.
"Rose, I think that we should call Carlisle when we get home & have him examine you, this isn't natural. You're almost as clumsy as Bella is, & that's not a good thing." he says, I nod and he starts running. I can't wait to get home, I feel exhausted from my attempt at running.
It only takes us a few minutes to get home, when we go inside we are no longer alone.
