"So you and I are going hunting?" I asked, anxiety clouding my mind.
"Yes, you can drink their blood and I can eat their meat," she said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Jasper began laughing hysterically, probably due to the fact that I was about seconds from having an anxiety attack. "It's not funny," I said through gritted teeth as everyone looked at Jasper as though he were crazy.
"What's not funny?" Bella asked form beside me.
"He….is….having…an….anxiety attack," Jasper said trying to control his hysterical laughter
"Not having," I growled, "Close to having," I murmured the last part
"Why?" Bella asked anxiously, and Jasper just laughed harder.
"Because, what if you get hurt while hunting" I said looking at the floor.
"I won't" she said making me look at her.
"How do you know?" I asked hugging her tightly.
"Because you will be with me," she said into me neck.
The ladies awed as the guys murmured whipped.
The girls growled, and humfed out of the room.
I chuckled lightly as Bella walked out the door and turned into nine foot tall lioness, This is Buttercup. I heard in my mind as it echoed in the minds of my family.
Lets go! She said running into the forest behind the house.
Chapter 4
EPOV
We ran for a few miles just enjoying ourselves. We got near the boundary at one point and I remembered about her scent being strong here last night.
"Kitten, why was your scent strong here, last night?" I said as we turned to head south.
O… um my dad's old house is near here. I bought it, and it's where I've been living.
You've been living there … alone?
Yeah, I'm used to it. For the three hundred and seven years I have been alone. I have come across other vampires, fairies, pixies, shape shifters, werewolves, witches and wizards. You name it I've seen it. But through all of that, I have been alone. There were times when I didn't know if I was going to live, and times when I didn't want to live anymore. The other day, when you stopped Jake from eating me, I thought that for sure I was done for. But I wasn't, you saved me Edward, and for that I owe you my life.
No Bella, you owe me nothing… you are the love of my life. You know as well as I that when a vampire mates he or she mates for life. I was about to continue but she interrupted.
The same goes for shape shifters.
Really?
She giggled, Yes, really. And I think I have already found my mate.
May I ask who that is?
Well, he loves cats, he is tall maybe 6 foot 2 inches. Old fashioned handsome, and immortal. And his is my dear vampire bat.
I love you kitten.
She purred as she nuzzled into my hand which I had placed on the side of her face, while she stood on the ground and I stood on the low branch of a tree.
"Lets hunt kitten" I said as I pet her once more.
She nodded, and turned her face towards the sky, listening. I did the same.
No lions today, okay?
"That's fine Kitten, there are actually three deer about five hundred yards South-East "
She nodded her head, How do you want to do this?
How about we kill all three first so that we don't have to go looking for them again later. I will drain them and you can eat them after. Is that okay with you?
Perfect. Then she licked me and took off to come back around so that we had them cornered between us.

We were on our way back home, I held a sleeping Becky in my arms. She had been to full to run back, not to mention that she was still tired from the emotional roller coaster which she had been on since she met my family, or reunited with some.
We arrived back at the house and I took her up to my room.
I lay her down on the couch and covered her with a blanket, then went to take a shower.
You should get a bed… if she is going to stay, she will need a bed.-Alice told me through her mind.
Tomorrow were going back to school so I want to warn you that you will need to keep control of your temper… a lot of guys will be looking at her, and a lot of girls will want to be her. –Jasper added
I signed as I dried myself a little and pulled on my boxers and pants. I was about to pull on my shirt when I heard "Edward?"
It was my Kitten, she was awake.
I ran back into my room, "I'm right here Kitten," I said as she sat up and her eyes grew wide. I panicked I crouched into my hunting position. I scanned the room as I moved myself in front of her. I sniffed the air but found nothing. I turned to look at her once more and saw she was fighting a smile. I straightened up "What's wrong? Why do you want to laugh? And why were you scared?"
She busted out laughing, "Nothing is wrong I just didn't know where you were, and I'm laughing because of your reaction, and I'm not scared….I'm um…"
"Your what Kitten?" I was getting frantic.
"um…" she wasn't looking at me.
I pulled her chin up to look at her, "What is it my Bella? You can tell me anything."
"I'm in shock" she whispered as she blushed.
"What? Why?" now I was just confused
"Well you're not wear a shirt and your still a little wet and your hair is still damp…" she was turning a very beautiful red.
I started chuckling, "Bella, Bella, Bella. You have seen me without a shirt already. Plus I am nothing compared to you."
She blushed even more if it was possible. I chuckled as I went back to the bathroom and got my shirt. I went back into my room.
"Bella… can I talk to you about something…" I asked looking at the floor.
"Sure Edward, what's up?" she pated the space next to her on the couch.
"Well um… you said you would move in here with us right?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to impose."
"No Bella it wouldn't be imposing. You would have your own room and everything, but um… I was wondering if you would like me to get a bed for my room, so that you don't have to be on the couch… I don't want you to feel uncomfortable though…and I know that we've said we love each other … but I don't want to rush you… or myself…" I was rambling and I was about to continue but thankfully she stopped me.
"I would love to pick out a bed for your room Edward." She said as she kissed my cheek. "After school alright with you?"
I nodded my head, and was sure that I had the goofiest grin on my face.
She giggled as she went to the bathroom for a shower. I ran down stairs and made her some pancakes and eggs. I poured her some orange juice and put some butter on a piece of toast. I put it all on a tray and then returned to my room… all while ignoring my families snickers, aw's, jokes about playing with my food, and lovely remarks on being a prude.
As I opened the door to my room from the hallway, Bella opened the one from the bathroom. Her eyes it up from as she saw the tray.
"Is that for me my dear vampire bat?" She asked as she came over to me.
"Well yes it is my dear Kitten," I led her to the couch and put the tray in her lap, "You eat, I'll help you brush your hair," I said as I took the brush she had in her hands.
"Thank you Edward," she said looking straight into my eyes.
"You're welcome love,"
I heard three thuds come from down stairs and I winced as I heard the profanities coming from the three other males in this house.

We arrived at school in the Rose's convertible, Alice's Porsche and Bella's Camaro. To say head turned is an understatement.
We had let the ladies do the driving but convinced them to let us help them out. When I stepped out of Bella's car guys tempers flared and girls jealousy spiked. I fought hard to restrain the urge to growl.
Jasper and Emmett chuckled, muttering something about how 'now he gets what it feels like'
I put my arm around Bella's waist; I took a deep breath as I pressed my nose into her hair, "So help me Kitten, if any of these guys bother you… just let me know."
She giggled, "I can take care of myself but thank you for caring."
I chuckled, "Please if you could hear what the girls are thinking you would probably be ten feet tall,"
She froze.
BPOV
He chuckled, "Please if you could hear what the girls are thinking you would probably be ten feet tall,"
I froze, how the hell can girls be looking at him, thinking about him… I guess that's how he feels. They need to learn quick that he is mine. I know just how to show it.
EPOV
My entire family gave me deathly glares. Bella turned to look at me and had a smirk on her face. "How bout we show them just how unavailable we both are?"
"What?" I was so confused, but relieved. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and I understood immediately. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her close. My family was snickering, everyone else was jealous, angry, and I could hear happy thoughts from two people… hum… Ben and Angela.
I pulled her to my and crushed my lips to hers. We kissed for the second time… but I finally understood Emmett and Rose's problem with keeping their hands off of each other.
When we pulled away the entire school had their mouths open… including my family… and Bella and I were panting, struggling to breathe.
We continued to walk into the school with my family behind us.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - -
Lunch couldn't come fast enough. I wanted to be with my angel.
"Bella would it be okay with you if I switched my schedule to match yours?" I asked as we walked to the cafeteria to meet with my family.
She blushed a deep red, "I was going to ask the same thing."
I chuckled as I opened the door for her. Everyone stopped talking…wonderful.
We went to the lunch line and each got a slice of pizza.
We went to sit with my family…her old table forgotten.
She was just picking at her food not really eating it. I knew she had eaten a lot last night but still.
"Bella, are you feeling alright?" I asked as she continued to play with her food. She shrugged, "Look at me Kitten," I said raising her chin so I could look at her face, "Kitten!" her eyes were a weird blue with red swirls. I pulled her up from her seat and lead her out of the cafeteria towards her car. I felt my family following us… but there was nobody else around. Before getting to the car her legs gave out. "Bella?" I caught her in my arms and forgot about the car…my family…or if someone was around to see us…I ran faster than I had ever ran…even when I had found her as Bell in the forest.
I made it home in record time, "CARLISLE!" I screamed even though I knew that it wasn't necessary.
"What is it Edward?" Carlisle asked as he came into the room. He saw Bella in my arms and dropped his coffee cup, "Take her to my office" he said going to get his medical bag.
As I lay Bella down as carefully as I could; I heard the three cars arrive, none with a heartbeat, and knew my siblings were home. But I blocked them and Esme out; I didn't want to hear their thoughts. Not right now.
Carlisle was at my side beginning they check up. Son I'm so sorry, but you need to get out.
"NO! no, no, no, no, no!" I said/ snarled.
He sighed, "Emmett, Jasper get him out of here please" Carlisle said trying to push me towards the door.
My brothers had the door open in second and were pulling me out of the room. I snarled and growled but they wouldn't let me go. I snapped at them but then Rose was on my back helping to restrain me. Jasper was trying to calm me but that only made me madder. The love of my life was unconscious and they were taking me away from her.
"LET ME GO!" I snarled at them but they only held me tighter. I began seeing red and I knew that my eyes were black.
They pulled me down the stairs; I realized Esme and Alice silently sobbing at the display before them. But I couldn't care less about the pain that Jasper felt radiating off of them or the fear that radiated from everyone around me. I had to get back to my Bella.
I began thrashing again trying to force them into the walls to shake them off but they wouldn't let me go. I realized there were horrible snarls and growls coming from my brothers, they were pissed that I was making this harder for Rose, Alice, and Esme.
I reared back landing on my back on top of Rose. I quickly stood up but Jasper and Emmett still had me. I snapped at them again and I was faintly aware of Alice and Esme helping Rose up.
All that I could think was that my Bella needed me why wouldn't they let me go.
Carlisle's POV
When I saw Bella in Edward arms I knew something was wrong, very, very wrong.
As I kicked Edward out of my office I felt horrible but it had to be done. I could hear the commotion down stairs but I ignored it.
I examined Bella like I used to over 300 years ago. There were no outer wounds, and there didn't seem to be interior bleeding.
As I lifted her eyelids to check her eyes and I saw something I had never seen. Her eyes were a swirl of red and blue. As if the purple pigment in her eyes had come apart from itself.
How was this possible? What the hell could have happened for this to occur? I was used to things around here being weird but how this had happened to her was a question I didn't know how to answer, much less how to solve it.
EPOV
I was thrashing against my brothers but I began to feel odd…as if the energy I had was draining from me. I could hear my family around me but their snarls, as well as mine, and their voices began to sound far off. I could hear Carlisle's thoughts about Bella's eyes but he seemed to be getting farther.
The last thing I remember before darkness over took me was my mother's voice screaming for Carlisle.
Carlisle's POV
I heard Esme scream my name and as I ran down the stairs all the thrashing and snarling suddenly stopped.
I reached the bottom and saw Edward being picked up by his brothers, he had collapsed. "Put him on the couch," I said as I went to get a few things from my medical bag. "Esme, Alice, go upstairs with Bella. Let me know if anything changes with her."
I began to look over my son. Physically he seemed fine. I lifted his eye lids and was found with a sight similar to Bella's, they were a swirl of yellow and green. I was shocked.
I looked up towards my office, toward Bella, and then back down at the couch, towards Edward.
"Get him upstairs, and put him on the couch in my office," I said in a strangled voice.
Rose, Emmett, and Jasper gave me worried looks as they carried him up. I followed them thinking how this can be.
Esme came over to me immediately as I stepped into my office. Jasper held Alice and Emmett held Rose; everyone was worried and I didn't have to ask Jasper to be sure.
I took a deep breath, "They both seem to be suffering from the same… illness. They seem to have no outer or inner injuries. Both sets of eyes are…swirled with color. Bella's blue and red, Edward's yellow and green. I don't know why or how. But I promise to do my best to find out." I finished in a strangled voice. For the first time in my 344 years, I was uncertain of myself and my abilities as a doctor.
"I need to check everyone's eyes. We need to see in any of us are…sick" I said as I looked at Esme's.
The others formed a line of two by two, none wanting to be away from their mate. Esme stayed by my side.
None of the others had anything 'different' in their eyes. I looked in a mirror and neither did I.
"Okay, so were all fine. So what did Bella and Edward do that none of us have done in the past three days?"
Everyone was quite, "They went hunting, none of us have gone since then." Alice said from behind me.
"That has to be it Carlisle we have all done everything else." Jasper added.
We all agreed. "Alright I will take a blood test from Bella and do a full work up, and see what is going on." I said as I prepared a syringe and a vile. "If anyone would like to leave, do so now," I said as I tied a band around Bella's upper arm, and began to look for a vein.
Everyone stayed while I took the blood, and nobody as much as flinched to the smell; our love for her and Edward overrode all blood lust.
BPOV
When Edward asked me if it was alright with me if he would match his scheduled to mine, I was ecstatic. I had been thinking about doing the same thing.
When we walked into the cafeteria I began to feel as if everything was getting distant. I was no longer hungry, so I just played with my food.
"Bella, are you feeling alright?" I heard my vampire bat say to me. But I felt to week to answer so I just shrugged.
He put his hand under my chin, lifting it to make me look at him "Look at me Kitten," I saw shock cover his face, "Kitten!"
He pulled me up from my seat and led me out to the parking lot. I began feeling worse. It was as if he wasn't even there next to me. It seemed so distant. Then I felt my legs give out and Edwards hands lifting me.
I can't be sure but right before the darkness took over i may have hear him scream my name.
"Bella?"
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - -
Carlisle's POV
After doing a full scan on Bella's blood I was able to find an abnormality.
"Can everyone come up here please?" I asked as I finished working. It had been ten hours since Edward and Bella had gone unconscious. Nobody had gone hunting, and everyone had stayed within yelling distance of the house.
"Okay it seems that they may have eaten an animal carrying a very strong strain of pneumonic plague," I explained to the others. "If we can feed them some clean animal blood it should drive the disease from their bodies,"
Everyone just stared at me, "How are we supposed to know if the animal's blood is clean." Jasper asked.
"We have to test it. We will have to ask them where they ate those animals and let the wolves know to stay away from the area. Maybe we can just start a fire to get rid of the infection." I said as I prepped test kits.
"Okay, I will remain here and make sure their conditions stay stable. Esme if you could please call the wolf pack and let them know the situation so that they can refrain from hunting until this is sorted out. Emmett, Rose bring back one animal from the South, and one from the West. Alice and Jasper do the same from the East and North. Check if they are infected by putting a few drops of blood in these test kits, the reaction should have occurred if it is going to by the time you return." They all agreed and went to work.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - - -
After a five successful phone calls, three hang ups, and one dropped call the wolves were informed of the situation.
Alice and Jasper returned in two hours, the animal from the North was clean but the one from the East was infected. We strained the blood from the uninfected deer and prepared to feed it equally to Edward and Bella. But before we did that we began a fire to burn the infected animal. As it began to burn Rose and Emmett returned, their animal from the West was clean and the one from the South was also infected. We added their infected animal to the fire and went to drain the blood from the other.
When we had all the blood drained from both uninfected animals we put endotracheal tubes into both Edward and Bella's throats to fed then intravenously.
We gave them Edward three fourths ( ¾ ) of the blood and mixed the last fourth( ¼ ) in with an IV bag for Bella.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - - -
Five minutes later I checked their eyes and Edward's were already almost back to normal. Bella's eyes were still a mix of red and blue.

EPOV
I fell into the darkness and I tried to fight it but I couldn't. I felt people around me but I couldn't move or speak.
I felt something going into my throat and I wanted it out but I couldn't tell them no.
When I felt the blood flowing through whatever was in my throat. It felt good.
BPOV
I felt like if I was in a sea of black.
I tried to open my eyes, but couldn't.
I tried to speak, but couldn't.
I tried to move my arms or legs, but couldn't.
I even tried to shift my form, but it hurt to try.
I was aware of the tube that was stuck down my throat and the liquid that was pushed through it.
I began to feel a little better, but I still couldn't do anything.
Carlisle's POV
It had been fifteen minutes since we had given them 'food' and Edward's hands were beginning to move.
His eyes were just about normal and we knew that he would come too soon. But Bella's condition had not improved since the first few minutes.
Edward began to groan "…Bel…la…Bel…la…"
"She's going to be alright Edward," Esme said trying to sooth him as he began thrashing a little.
EPOV
I began to move my toes and fingers. I knew I would be able to move and speak soon. When I tried the only thing I could do was say Bella's name and even then it was only mumbled.
I was aware of someone trying to sooth me… Esme?
Yes when I heard her voice I knew it was her, "She's going to be alright Edward," she was trying to make me feel at ease. But I could already begin to hear everyone's thoughts.
I was getting better by the second but she had only improved slightly. She Needed me. I had to help her. I began fighting the darkness. And soon I could move my hands and legs.
However, I was aware of my brothers holding me down.
"Stop, I have to get up. My Kitten needs me," I mumbled clearer than before.
"Then calm down and let your venom take care of you. It is getting rid of the infection." Carlisle chided.
I huffed, "Fine," and I still fought a little, against my brothers, but mostly my fight was within.
After five minutes I was allowed to sit up. A few seconds after I was allowed to hold my loves hand. My eyes were normal and so was everything else.
"Why hasn't she gotten better? She was ill before you and you were administrated the 'treatment' at the same time." Carlisle said more to himself than to me.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - - -
I thought for what seemed like a long time, but when I looked up at the click it had only been thirty minutes.
"What did you guys give her?" I finally asked once everyone had left the room.
"We gave her some blood mixed in with IV fluids, since she digested her meal we thought that would be best," Carlisle said coming back into the room.
It had been almost ten hours since Bella had fallen ill. Her improvement had been minor but it hadn't changed for almost an hour now. While I had fallen ill for four hours and a half, of which the last hour and a half were technically recovery.
I thought for a few minutes and as Carlisle moved to the door I remember out conversation just yesterday:
- - - - - - - Begin Flash Back - - - - - - -
Bella turned to face me, "Can everyone come down here please?" in an instant everyone was standing around us, "Okay, I'm hungry, but in order for me to remain healthy I need to balance a diet of human food, cat food, and well carnivorous cat food" she said shyly.
"So you hunt!" Emmett exclaimed.
She giggled, "Yeah, I eat human food two days a week. Cat food one day a week and deer or other animals," she said winking at me, "two days a week."
- - - - - - - End Flash Back - - - - - - -
"Carlisle!" I almost yelled.
"What is it Edward?" he asked as he turned back to face me.
"Carlisle, what is my diet?" I asked trying to get him to see what I'm thinking about.
"Blood…animal blood" he responded looking confused.
"And what is Bella's?" I asked hoping he would remember.
"Human food, and cat food" He responded just as quickly as he had before.
"What kind of cat food Carlisle?" I asked looking at my Kitten once more. "What does my Kitten need in order to sustain herself completely?"
Carlisle stared at me, then turned to look at Bella, "Of course, cat food,"
He ran out of the room and a few seconds later I heard the blender. Ewe…he must have been blending the cat food into a liquid. I could hear my thoughts of disgust echoed in the minds of my family.
Carlisle returned and fed Bella through the tube once more.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - - -
He waited for thirty minutes, then went to check her eyes.
Carlisle's POV
"Carlisle!" Edward all but yelled.
"What is it Edward?" I asked looking back at him.
"Carlisle, what is my diet?" he asked looking into my eyes.
"Blood…animal blood" I responded confused as to why or how this was relative.
"And what is Bella's?" he continued.
"Human food, and cat food" I responded again just as quickly as before.
"What kind of cat food Carlisle?" He looked towards Bella once more "What does my Kitten need in order to sustain herself completely?"
I stared at Edward before turning to Bella, then it hit me, "Of course, cat food," she needed cat food, not wild cat food, but house cat food. She had told us yesterday she lived off of both along with human food. The blood and IV cover two of the bases but not all three.
I ran down stairs and filled the blender with the cat food Esme had bought earlier today. Then I took it upstairs and fed it to Bella though the tube we had put in before.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - - -
It had been thirty minutes since I had given her what we hoped to be the final part of her cure.
I returned upstairs to check her eyes…
