Hunting a human this day in age is much different from the last time I had done it. Now they all have those cell phones and buttons to call attention to themselves if there is trouble around. Us vampires may be light on our feet, but humans naturally can sense when something is following them.

Finding the perfect prey is difficult, especially in the big cities. You have to make sure you hunt in the suburban wooded areas more than the downtown parts. The more privacy there is, the easier. Luckily, Texas has this.

What I've always loved about Texas is the open space for miles. Being a vampire, it is easier to get to these spots with running.

Peter and I had been running for about fifteen minutes when I caught onto a scent. We were in secluded area outside of Houston. It had to be campers. Slowing to a stop, I get his attention.

"Pete, you smell that?" I ask, crouching behind some overgrown bushes.

Tilting his head, visibly sniffing the air, he replies. "Sure do Major. Half a mile east. A lovely couple having a little fun."

"Fuckin' seriously?"

"Well, that's what they're doin' Jay. We can either go join in or eat 'em. Personally, I'm cravin' some post-coitis pheromone blood. What'ya say?"

This is what my life has come to. Allowing Pete to coerce me into drinkin' from a couple just looking to have some fun. Why the fuck didn't I make him try squirrels?

Nodding my head in the direction of the campsite, I take off. I can hear Pete growl behind me, "I get the fuckin' chick man!"

"Not a chance! You got Bells now. Your meals are strictly dick now, asshat."

It's been a few hours since I've left Peter's home. I kind of got lost trying to drive back to my apartment.

Guess I should invest in a map. Whoops.

When I finally made back to my place, I wanted to just rest and call it a day. But, alas, fate was a bitch. As soon as I walked through my front door, my phone rang. Looking down at the caller ID, I saw Angela's name flash across the screen.

"Hey! What's up?" I asked, answering.

"Bella, um... crap." She paused. "Do you think I could come down and stay with you for a week or so? It's just... I got in a huge fight with my mother and I want to get away. I really don't want to go stay with Jessica plus I miss you. I know yo-" I cut her off.

"Angela. Breathe." I hear her take a deep breath on the other end. "Now, sloooow down. I thought Jess talked fast but damn. What the hell was that? And yeah, of course you can come down here. I've got a spare room you can stay in."

"Really? You don't mind? I just need to get out of Forks before I go insane."

"Yeah, of course. You can stay as long as you want. I mean, I have classes starting in a week but that's not a big issue. I miss you too, so yeah. Come down here!"

"You are seriously the best. I'm going to book a flight right now and text you my information. I'll need you to pick me up, is that okay?"

"Well duh, I don't expect you to get a cab, woman." Laughing, I walk into my kitchen to look for some food. I never did get to eat at Peter's...

"Ange, I have so much to tell you. So hurry it up and get your ass down here!"

"I will, I will! Calm down lady! I'll let you know soon. Bye!"

"Bye," I replay, ending the call.

Setting the phone down on the counter, I go to my fridge.

"What the fuck? Why are you empty? I thought I just bought food!" Clearly, I need to go grocery shopping. I hate this.


Arriving at the grocery store, it seems pretty packed. This is not going to be fun. Humans hunting in their natural habitat. Processed food and organic fruits. How fun.

After parking my car and heading inside, I grab a cart and slowly try to ease my way around the people that decide it is okay to just stand in the middle of the aisle and stare.

Seriously, get the fuck out of the way.

After going through most of the aisles and dropping things in my cart -some I need and some I don't- I head to the checkout to pay.

Just like every grocery store I've been to, even in Washington, there are two lines open with about 30 people waiting in line. I don't understand the store logic for this.

Taking my chances, I select a line and wait until I finally end up at the register.

"Did you find everything?" a pimpled faced kid, who looks like he is in his junior year of high school, with the name tag reading "Hi! My name is Caleb!" asks.

"Uh, yeah. Thanks," I reply.

I guess I can be nice to him. Can't be a total bitch all the time.

"Wow, you aren't from around here, are ya?" he asks, his Southern accent playing out the sentence.

"No. Washington." Short answers. Usually that gives the hint of 'DO NOT KEEP TALKING TO ME'

"Oh wow. Never been there. Looks like a wet place. What're ya doin' down here?"

Guess not. "School." Finally, he finishes scanning my items through and has them bagged.

"Neat! Oh, your total is thirty-four oh nine. Cash or card?"

"Uh, cash." I hand over two twenty dollar bills, hoping he gets the change done quickly. I just want to get out of there and back home.

"Here ya go! Five ninety-one is your change. See ya around miss!"

"Thanks." I reply, pushing my small cart away and outside to my car. Not likely.

After getting my bags into the car, I feel my phone buzz in my pocket.

NEW TEXT MESSAGE

Ange

Hey! My flight will arrive at 11AM your time tomorrow. I'll text you when I land. Thank you so much B! Xo

Hitting reply, I type out my message.

Ange, of course. You're my best friend. I'll see you then. X

Finally, I head home. I just want dinner.

Fucking grocery shopping. Hunting, human style.


Author note: SO! Here is the new chapter. Basically, it is just a filler for the next one. I have a few things planned for it. As you can see, Angela is heading down there. This doesn't necessarily mean I am doing this to have her as Jasper's mate. That is still up in the air as of now... I know, all this time and I still haven't decided. Sorry! Y'all will know as soon as I do ;)

I do apologize if this chapter is very... dull. I tried to make it livelier but eh.

Doing a 3 day detox drains you. Just an FYI. Writing this while on said detox is a bad idea. Especially writing about food. BAD MISTAKE. ):

Well, thank you all for sticking with me. I'll hopefully update this soon. Xx
