A/N: This chapter is dedicated to Psychic-Porsche-3, it was my first review in forever and I got some inspiration a little while later but just never wrote it down. I would also like to apologize for the transformation being EXACTLY like BD, I just have severe issues doing anything except canon, and that's what it was (I also couldn't really rephrase it, I suck at that too). OK, enough of me rambling, on with the show!
Jamie, Marcus' dad, was waiting patiently for me by the door. When he saw me run in then stop so abruptly, and the expression on my face that ensued, he couldn't help but smile at how humorous it was. "Come on speedy," he said, his grin growing a little bit at his joke, "time to hunt."
I figured he must have meant hunting humans-what else would we hunt?-but the context just sounded odd to me. I guess that was something I just had to get used to though. But I still wasn't sure...how. I had been decent at sports when I was a human, so I should be fairly capable as a vampire too then, right? I nodded my head hesitantly, I hoped he wouldn't expect me to be great at this.
He just smiled at me and said "It'll be OK, follow me."
That struck me with another realization, where were we going to hunt? We needed to go somewhere far away, the humans couldn't know about vampires! And is Caius still OK? Is he done changing now too? When will he hunt? Will he be scared? Will he run? All these thoughts hit me with a wave of panic, gluing me to the spot. I had to trust Jamie though, what other choice did I have? And he was my best friend's dad for crying out loud! I had trusted him almost all my life, he had become like a second dad to me, of course I trusted him, being a vampire didn't change that.
So I followed him out the door into the open night air as we headed for the car. Neither one of us bothered to put on our seat belts. Then we were off, speeding down the highway at 150 mph, and I wasn't even scared. Before I knew it we were in Canada, a park to be more exact, and he got out of the car. I followed suit, unsure of what we were about to do. "Take a deep breath, and then do whatever you feel like doing, Aro" he told me.
So I did. After all, what did I have to lose? As I did, I smelt the most delectable thing I've ever smelt. It was too perfect for anything I'd ever expercienced in my human life, and only one thought crossed my mind. Go, feed, I must have it! Without wasting another second I was off, running through the forest after the delectable scent.
As I got closer to it I realized it was really a hiker, and I smelled her blood, but none of that mattered. She was my prey and I was thirsty, nothing else in the entire world mattered except that. My eye found the spot on her throat where her blood pulsed strongest, just asking me to sink my teeth into it. I happily obliged. Her blood flowed freely into my mouth warm and welcoming. Poor thing didn't even have a chance to scream. Oh well. As I finished with her Jamie appeared beside me instantaneously. He took the carcass, ran off, and was back before even a second had passed. I wasn't sure where he took it, but I didn't care, I'd figure that out later. For now I was still thirsty, so I took another big breath and was off again. This time Jamie went off to, but in a different direction, I assumed he had found another kill. After that I was pretty much done, so I just stood there for a minute, perfectly at ease, taking in everything that happened to me in the past hours. You have to admit that it was a lot.
He eventually came back and disappeared with the body again, I'd have to figure out where he took those. Right after he came back I sprinted off for the car, just enjoying the sensation of running... well, really fast. In no time at all we were at the car, in, and speeding off down the road again. It was then that I realized that we hadn't really spoken. It wasn't uncomfortable, just different, I enjoyed just thinking, and with my new mind I could do it easier than ever before. I had time to really ponder things. What would I tell my family? Well, I couldn't see them again, ever. I was hit with a sense of nostalgia, I should've been kinder to my sister Didyme. Maybe I could turn her too, she might have a cool power... But I'd have time for that later.
Finally Jamie spoke, "So, how did you like your first hunt?"
"It was...fascinating. Exhilarating, new, but at the same time very natural, instinctive. It's a lot to think about." He didn't respond, so I figured he had left me to do just that. I'd have to thank him later. But for now I was content to be alone with my own thoughts.
A/N: I really do have a plan for the story now, inspiration hit! I'll be posting a one-shot that I had to do in school for an assignment but I ended up turning into a ff later tonight. It'll be called The Swamp Creature, check it out! R&R and thank you Psychic-Porsche-3 for reviewing! You were the only one and it helped me get through my writers block!
