____Chap 5 Bella's First Hunt ______________________________Bella's POV________________1 day later ______________

I was inside the house alone (Charlie was back at work) when it first happened.

It was a horrible sensation. The back of my throat was burning like it was somehow lit on fire.

I clutched it. It felt so dry.

I need water!!! I thought desperately, but then I made a realization. I didn't need water… I needed blood.

Suddenly I was rushing into the forest at full speed, but then I lost control to my instincts.

I followed the delicious scent of a group of white tailed deer.

After that, everything went blank- I couldn't remember anything, even with my vampire memory.

After I regained awareness, I looked at my surroundings.

I was deep in the forest and there were several drained deer carcasses lying on the ground near me.

I gaped in horror as I realized what could have happened if there had been humans nearby.

I couldn't remember If there were humans nearby and if they were killed by me…

I felt horrible. I had killed several innocent living things.

I take back what I've said before- I don't want to be a monster anymore.

UGH. This will be a loooong immortal life.

I looked down at myself.

Thank goodness I wasn't covered in blood.

I then picked myself up and followed my old scent back home.
