CH 5: Hunting
All the characters belong to Stepenie Meyers
Moon POV
I looked at the now ripped apart human, from what I can tell it seem as if this newborn has not even left flesh on the poor creature. I sigh softly before jumping off the rock I was lounging on and I strolled towards the newborn. She was holding onto her throat coughing, and I had a good idea why.
"Are you hungry young one'? I asked with a smirk on my face, and she nodded her head wildly to my question and begin to look around the cave nervously. I walked towards her, lowering myself because I was 6'0 and she was only 5'2. I smiled and motioned towards the outside of the cave as I walked towards it. She followed me without hesitation, I lowered my body to a crouch, tensing my leg muscles for a spring, and let all my power go sending me to the shore of the Seattle beach. The newborn landed next to me and begin to sniff the air hungrily.
I ran towards the city, my feet a blur and pebbles flying the air making swirls as they landed back on the ground only to be swirled back up again by the newborn. I will have to make a note to ask the newborn for her name after we are done hunting. We stop at an alleyway and I notice a couple making out with each other against the wall. Rather disgusting if you ask me. We strolled towards them and they stop there feasting of each other to look at us.
"Excuse me…..do you guys know where I could find a restaurant for my girlfriend here"? I asked gesturing to the newborn.
"Yeah just right down the street" The woman said before giving me a rather look that said to beat it or I will beat you.
"We have a particular type of appetite" I told her before lunging onto the poor woman. I snapped down on her neck, finding the right vein before sinking my teeth into her. I began to suck the life out of her, but I see her face and get a flash back of my mother kissing me goodnight. I jumped away from her and screamed out in agony, I took my fist and slammed it into the poor girl's face. Her face was now sunken in, shards of her skull sticking out of the very top of her forehead. I began to rapidly punch her face until it is as flat as the pavement.
I put my hands on my head to stop the memories of that tragic day flood out of the abyss I lodged it in. I began to relax as my traumatic incident stopped. The newborn looked at me and walked towards me wrapping her arms around my body. What is this affection she is showing me I asked myself, and pushed her off of me. I brush off my clothes before looking at the bodies. I decide to leave them.
"Newborn what is your name"? I asked in a low threatening voice
"Grace….my name is Grace" She said in a high-pitch voice that sounded like beautiful bells. No, I cannot be thinking such things or emotions, it is all business.
Renesmee POV
I looked around the room and sighed softly, Jacob had not come back from searching a scent of this vampire. Who is this vampire…why us…why is it always my family. As selfish as it sounds I wish he would just kill all the humans he wants and leave me and my family alone. At that moment my dad appeared in front of me with a worried look on his face.
"Renesmee how do you know the vampire is a man"? He asked me in a frigid voice, his composure tense and he was staring me down with worry in his eyes.
"I….i have been having brief flashes of a man….telling me to come to him…..no not come to him…more like let him save me….from myself" I said, pausing in between each word so I could hold back my sobs. My dad was sitting next to me stroking my hair and whispering things like "it'll be ok".
Jacob POV
I'm so freaking confused! The scent leads me to Seattle but then it just…..disappears. I sigh softly and let out a angry growl that bounces off the alleyway of Seattle. This was the last known scent, I know that stupid blood sucker is laughing and messing with all our minds. I grunt in frustration and punch the wall of the building next to me, dust fall down on me and the wall grows a crack that seems to grow by the second. I walk out the alley and then….catch a scent. I chase after the scent and when I hit the beach the scent gets stronger, I begin to become a blur across the water as I jump in, only 2 things in my minds are vampire and swim.
When I reach land it is at the mouth of a cave….with over 23 people withering in pain, screaming for help. I noticed something though….they were almost done with there transformation. Give or take I had about 2 minutes to get out of there before the vamps wake up on me. I look around the area and mentally realize I have 30 seconds left. I sprint towards the water and swim for my life to the shore. Water spraying at the sides of me….2 seconds left.
I hear a final scream before I see a vampire with a purple shirt on, black pants, black and purple shoes…..the coldest crimson red eyes I have ever seen. He is holding a newborn rather closely and I realize something….this is the vampire….HE'S THE FREAKING VAMPIRE. He takes on look at me before smiling and him and the newborn were suddenly gone as if they never existed. I sit there with a stupid expression on my face, I had mixed emotions going on with me, one I had found the vampire so I was happy about that, but also anger because I knew if I was to fight him….i would lose.
I swim to shore, not as fast as before but fast enough to get me to my destination. I walk up the shore of the beach, my shoes making soft thuds against the already damp sand. I sigh softly before taking off my clothes not caring if anyone saw me because who goes out at midnight to run on the beach, oh yeah me. I let my body succumb to the change and my heavy paws fall towards the sand making a loud thud causing a sand cloud to rise up. I take off into the forest running at a slow lop before sprinting towards the forest even quicker than I usually did. I stop at an clearing and let out a howl calling for my pack to come to the area I am at.
I catch the minds of Seth, Embry, and Quil as they shift into there wolf forms. I can see they are getting close to my current locations and I tell them what happened and about the vampire I saw.
"Dang Jake when you said this vampire was a sadistic one I expected someone older not someone our age". I growled at Embry and shook my enormous head before speaking to him.
"He may be our age but that does not mean he is any less sadistic or evil…I saw him…I could practically feel the power radiating off his body" I shivered at the memory and shook my head. They all came into the clearing at the same time and I briefed them on more patrol runs and I told them I would talk to Sam. They all nodded and left to La Push.
I shifted back to my human form and put on the clothes I had tied to my leg when I heard laughter.
"Well well if it isn't Mister Black"
Moon POV
I looked at the vampire and smirked at him...so this was the infamous Jacob Black leader of the La Push pack…I expected better. I saw the hint of fear in his eyes but was surprised for it to be replaced with determination and anger. I think this game will be fun to say in the least. I dug into his mind and tapped into his brain signals to tell them to cut off his sight for a moment.
I took Grace at that very second and jumped back to our cave and was greeted by 23 newly changed vampires. I smiled and looked at grace before taking my arm from around her hip.
"I am your leader Moon, I changed you all and only require one thing out of all of you….respect" I said glancing at each one of them looking for a hint of retaliation in there eyes but found none…good.
"Now our allies the Volturi are giving me 2 weeks time to help train everyone of you newborns to killing machines..I have to be blunt…some of you will die or some of you will kill each other. So if I were you I would make friendly with each other or I will make friendly with you". I smirked at my words before nodding to grace to take the newborns hunting. They all left in a blur and I swam to the shore of Seattle.
I followed Jacob's Scent and ran to where he was. I saw him fully-clothed looking around his surroundings warily.
"Well well if it isn't Mister Black" I said walking or more like pacing in a circle around him. He lowered to a crouch and I started to laugh at his attempt, he lunged at me but I lowered my body 2 inches and felt his body brush mine in the slightest. He recovered and threw a punch at me, I grabbed his arm and twisted it back before throwing him into a tree causing it to snap in half.
"Now Jacob don't waste your time with me throwing useless blows…I'm giving you five minutes to ask me questions and I will answer them accordingly." He looked at me before sighing softly and regaining his composure.
"Why are you doing this"? He asked me with anger hinting in his tone.
"I find it fun..also why not make a game with the Cullen's one of the biggest covens in our world, it was a bonus you wolves joined up with them. He let out a soft growl and I chuckled softly. "Now now don't ruin your only chance, now you have only two minutes left" I said smirking.
"Who is aiding you blood sucker" He said with a hiss.
"Speak for yourself, and only me…I work for just me" I said my face now grim.
"Was that vampire your mate'? He asked me with a serious expression.
"Yes she is Jacob and our meeting is adjourned" I said walking out of the forest, and I ducked slightly forward to dodge Jacob flying at me, I must admit he is fast..maybe faster than me and just a tad stronger, and that's without him in wolf form. I bowed to him and pulled my earlier mind trick using my gift accept this time making sure to put him to sleep.
"Goodbye Jacob have a nice nap" I said and walked out of the clearing not looking back at the hulking sleeping form.
