POV: Bella.
The Hunt: Part 2: Blood and Skin
Blood flowed from the open wounds.
Happily Edward licked it up. I stood, far away, watching the true vampire in my husband. Now I knew why he hadn't taken me on trips as a human, it would have scared me off for good.
When Edward hunted he became a totally different person. More aggressive, more sadistic, more fearsome. Just the way he had killed the mountain lion with glee sent shivers up my spine. The crack of bones as the poor creature had been tossed, like a worthless sack, was heartbreaking. And I don't even have a heart! All day I had been tagging behind Edward, watching him track. Not because I couldn't keep up with him. Actually I was faster, but because I didn't want to follow him. Looking at him suck up that blood like it was ambrosia was simply vulgar. I wanted no part in it. Even thinking about drinking the blood made me sick. Then I remembered how ravenously hungry I was.
Edward stopped drinking after a while and looked up. I caught my breath; his eyes were as golden as I'd ever seen them.
"I'm forgetting about you, Bella, would you like some?" Edward asked, as sweet as if he was offering me chocolate.
I pause, and then shake my head.
"Oh, I'm revolting you isn't it? Bella, you have to eat, come here." Edward extents his hand and I take it. He then helps me bend down to the wound, but before I get too close to the gash I close me eyes. The dead creature is still hot, and it smells horrible, my new senses only make it 10x worse. Very slowly I latch my teeth on and drink, no matter how much I am against it.
But the sweet nectar that reaches my lips is better than any food or drink I've ever had, and I can't stop. Like a dehydrated dog I drink and drink. Until my body is about to burst and the creature is sucked dry. Then I sigh and lean back onto Edward. Great emotions rush through me. I am angry, and disgusted, at myself for what I have done. But at the same time know I can't blame myself, I have to live. No matter what.
"You okay?" Edward asks, knowing exactly what I'm going through.
"No, but I will be," I say, hugging Edward.
This feasting has certainly brought out the best in Edward. He is more playful than ever. We romp around together, which usually consists with Edward pinning me to the ground and kissing me. When we stop I feel like all my worries about today have washed away.
"Hey, do you want to go back to the car?" Edward asks sexily. (AN: LMAO guys, I HAD to use that word!)
I nod, knowing what he is thinking, and not because I can read his mind.
We run together, and it doesn't take us very long to reach the jeep, even though it's a few miles away. Edward picks me up when we get close, and carries me the rest of the way. Giggling like little schoolgirls we open the door.
And the screaming starts.
"Edward you bastard. Shut. The. Door." Screams Rosalie, scrambling to get her clothes on.
Apparently someone, of some ones, got here before we did.
"Shield you eyes!" Edward yells, as both of us cover our eyes with out hands.
Inside the jeep there is a mad hustle to get dressed, but finally the culprits emerge.
"How dare you walk in on us!" Shrills Rosalie.
"It's not you own private room. We don't have to nock!" Edward spits back.
"But it's MY jeep," defends Emmett.
"You're the one who left it open!" I argue.
"Shut up Bella, you've made everything around here miserable," Rosalie lashes out at me.
Ouch, I cringe, that cut deep. Edward notices, even though he's put me down, and fights back. God bless that over controlling soul of his.
"Don't talk to Bella like that! She's the best thing that ever happened to our family!"
It was Emmett's turn to get his word in.
"Don't talk to my women like that!"
"I can talk to her anyway I like,"
"Why you…"
But Emmett never got to finish his sentence for suddenly Edward tackled him. Emmett dodged it, barley, but the two started to chase each other.
"Just look at what you've done!" screamed Rosalie, coming for me.
I really didn't want to take on Rosalie right now. And not because she looked like she was ready to gorge my eyes out, but because I knew if I got in a fight with her I would hurt her in someway, accidentally. So deciding not to stay and wait for her to pounce, I took off.
My legs streamed behind me, my arms pumped madly. I felt branches whip at my face and arms but they didn't scratch me so I ignored them. Faster, and faster I went until I had no sense of direction at all (not like I ever did) or knew how fast I was going. Somehow, I could sense Rosalie behind me.
Wow, that girl can run while angry!
I thought, speeding up. In my mad hustle to get away from her, I didn't use and of my newly acquired powers. If I had, I could have calmed her down, or at least predicted what she was doing.
Which was herding me to a cliff.
Suddenly, I saw it, looming up in front of me. I swore fro having been tricked like this. The smart thing would've been to climb up the massive rock wall. But I was still new to the whole vampire thing, so instead I went with what I thought was the only possibility left. I ran into the nearest cave.
My idea was to try and dig my way out. I didn't know if vampires could do this, because frankly, I hadn't asked, but I was going to try anyway. Before I could do anything I heard Rosalie approaching behind me. I whipped around, wanting to see her at all times. Rosalie started growling. The most deep, and threatening growl I have ever heard. I started screaming, to alert somebody, anybody.
Our combined pronunciations didn't have quite the effect we desired. Instead of saving me from hurting Rosalie, or scaring me, they started off a chain reaction. Soon everything started to shake and rumble. I knew that this was a landslide, but luckily I was able to predict even murmur and managed to stay on my feet. Unfortunately so had Rosalie. We faced each other, with rocks tumbling down and shattering on impact with us. Dust clogged the air and dimmed our sight. Then I noticed it stayed dark, even when the particles had cleared. That's also when I noticed that rocks sealed off the entrance to the cave.
I was stuck between a vicious vampire, out to kill me, and a hard place.
And a grumble from behind me told me the grizzly bear was now also in on the mix.
This wasn't going to be fun.
I only have three words: REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW.
