Chapter Five: Hunting
I was excited to learn how to hunt, but was also a little bit afraid and insecure about how this was done. The only fear that seemed to cloud Carlisle's thoughts was how I would fare if we were to cross a human, and to be honest, that was a concern I myself had as well. But, Carlisle seemed to trust himself, and me, to hunt without harming another human, but even so, we did take many precautions.
We made sure that the first time he taught me to hunt; it was the darkest night could get, and that we were in a secluded forest area. I had not been around humans since my new birth yet, so I had not been exposed to any scents at all besides Carlisle's little home in Chicago. As we ventured into the trees, I began to feel an ache in my throat, a fire that could not be quenched, I wanted something to put it out, I wanted blood, I needed blood. There was a monster inside of me, a creature that lusted for blood, for the fire to be put out.
I wasn't sure what the scents were, but I had not fed since my new birth and anything was welcomed, Carlisle motioned me forward with his hand. "Now as soon as you get close enough, I'm pretty sure your instincts will take over and you will learn to hunt that way. There is no real way to explain how, it just happens." Carlisle thought back to the many times he had hunted, and I believed I had the right idea on how to go about it.
"So can I go hunting yet?" I was beginning to get impatient, and the ache in my throat worsened every second as my nose filled with the scent of the many animals surrounding me. He nodded and I started running.
It was exhilarating! I had never felt such speed and freedom before. Something about the speed was tugging at my memory. I thought as I ran and realized that this must be how Carlisle transported me back to his home when I was changed. Abruptly, my train of thought ceased. I saw a deer only a few feet from me.
I glared at the creature through my red eyes, preparing to make the change from ruby red eyes, to warm gold ones like Carlisle. To rebel against the vile creature I was to be good. I crouched low, a growl escaping from my chest, and launched myself at the animal. It didn't have time to run, didn't even have time to make a sound before it fell to the ground.
The venom in my mouth had incapacitated it to allow me to drain the creature. I thought back to what I had seen in Carlisle's thoughts. I leaned my head down towards the deer, and created bite marks and began to drain the animal of blood. The fire began to cease a little bit, but did not completely fade away. I looked around me, looking for more food.
The whole night I spent hunting, learning how to use my new abilities, the sense of hearing, the intensity of my sight, the speed, everything! It was simply amazing; I have not felt so carefree in my entire life!
As I left the forest I heard Carlisle's thoughts. "I hope things went well, let's hope he didn't stumble across a human, I'm sure he did great. Well when he comes back we'll find out." I decided to sneak up on Carlisle.
"Hello. I hunted four deers, and I found a mountain lion, it was amazing!" Carlisle beamed, how proud he was radiated from his entire being. "That's great Edward! I'm glad you decided to follow in my footsteps, but…" Again with the hesitation, I didn't have the patience to wait; I was still high on the feeling of hunting.
"Patience Edward. Now I know you're going to get angry, but for a while you're going to have to stay indoors until your instincts to kill begin to fade a little more, until your body uses up your own blood."
I stared wordlessly at him. A whole year of being locked up like a prisoner, babysat like a child, treated like a child. This was not what I had bargained for. But, if I wanted to stay with Carlisle, be as good as I could be being a vile creature, then I had to.

So again, please review!
