Desires
I knew that she was thirsty, but for her to be controlling herself like this, it was amazing indeed. As I led her towards the woods that me and Edward had been to a few days ago, I felt her hand tightening around mine. Sure, if she wasn't a newborn, she wouldn't be crushing my tiny hand in hers at the moment. I suppressed a groan, I didn't want Bella to loosen her grip when there were images flashing in my mind.
Bella wanted to kill the woman. Bella decided to kill the woman. Bella decided against it. Bella got a whiff of a new scent. Bella decided to get closer. Bella decided against it.
Those images were the same, and they were coming constantly and I had to say, it was giving me just a tad of a headache, when vampires didn't even have headaches. To say that she was special, well she was beyond special when she could give me a headache.
Finally we reached the clearing, and I couldn't be more happier when Bella loosened her grip and began to relax. She stopped when she knew that it was far enough, far away from the human scents for Bella to make one simple mistake. She didn't want Bella to make it, knowing the girl would feel guilty afterward. She turned on her heels and smiled up at her, squeezing Bella's hand before letting it go.
"You might not like the taste at first, but you'll get used to it." I smiled, hoping that it would reassure her somehow. She turned to look at me, and offered one of her now dazzling smiles. Then again, she dazzled me all the time, while sleeping.
"I'm sure I'll get used to it. So, what's on the menu? Deer?" She asked, quirking an eyebrow down at me. I couldn't help the giggle that had already escaped my lips.
"Maybe, unless you'd prefer something else?" I asked, keeping my tone playful so there wouldn't be a hint that I was actually flirting with her. Then again, this was Bella, she might catch up on what I was doing.
"Ooh, mountain lion?" She asked. So oblivious.
"We will just have to find out, won't we?" I giggled as she frowned. She was so adorable, and not to mention fun to tease. "Now, I want you to close your eyes, and let your senses expand around you. Listen to the nature for a while, and tell me what you can hear."
She did just as I asked. Her eyes drooped to a shut and I waited for her. Then again, I was doing what she did, except for closing my eyes of course. I could hear the water running. The wind passing through to each tree and bushes. The falling leaves. The thunderous hoofs of deer herd. The sound of a heart beat nearby. Heart beat? My eyes snapped towards to the direction of it, even though the sound was low, but with Bella's newborn senses, she could hear it much louder than I.
Bella opened her eyes and looked down at me, grinning as if she had done something that she was really proud of. "There's a stream nearby, and there's a herd of deer nearby too. We're hunting deer!" She exclaimed happily and I smiled at her, proud at her progress.
"Lead me to them." I said sweetly, tipping my head to the side as I looked up at her. Her body froze, and at first I didn't know why. I stared up at her crimson eyes that had now darkened. There wasn't only thirst within those eyes, there was lust as well. Then something clicked inside me. Oh god.
I gulped, slowly backing away but it was futile. She had already stepped forward, and was now holding me against her body. If I was a human, my dead heart would be pounding against my chest, wanting to burst into millions of colors, and my face would turn bright red at the close contact. I lifted my head up to look at her, and she looked back at me with lust filled eyes. We were supposed to quench her thirst, not quench her lust. Although that may sound good, but thirst came first. Then she leaned down, her lips inching closer to mine before she stopped. My nervousness had turned into frustration, so instead of waiting for her claim my lips, I attempted to claim hers, which didn't work.
"Not fair." I pouted as I looked up at her. She chuckled in amusement before leaning close to my ear. Her breathe was tickling the sensitive skin, and I shivered when she started speaking.
"What's not fair?" She asked huskily, purposely blowing against my ear. I felt my legs weakened, so I grabbed a hold of her shirt, clinging to her as if my life depended on her.
"You…teasing…me…" I barely got the words out, but she seemed to understand me for she chuckled again. That was then that I decided that her voice was my favorite sound to hear, including her chuckle, giggle, laugh, everything that would escape her lips.
"But, I'm not doing anything." She mused, inching her lips closer so that they were now lightly touching on my ear. My breath hitched within my throat, and my hands only tightening around her shirt. I didn't respond then, but she continued before I could.
"Unless…you want me to do this?" And yes, before I could even utter a word, the gasp that had escaped my lips replaced it. Her lips were now nibbling at my ear, her tongue was flicking and tracing every pattern that my ear had made. Did Edward teach her how to do this? No, he was clueless himself. Bella couldn't had watched any….No, she wouldn't. Instincts? Definitely.
"Bella…" I breathed her name out. I couldn't believe this. Just one gaze, and one simple touch, and she was already dominating me.
She released my ear with an inaudible pop, and pulled away enough to look down at me, with a smirk. "Hmm?"
How I wanted to wash that smirk off of her face right now. With the last ounce of strength that I had, my hand quickly went around her neck, and pushed her face close to me. My lips crashed into hers and instantly I let out a satisfying moan. At least my goal and need had been accomplished. Our lips mingled with one another, yet none of us were too eager to know the other's taste. I shivered once again as her hand trailed up behind my back, but then it froze in place and her body became tensed. I quickly pulled away and snapped my eyes open. It was then that the lust in her had lost against the thirst. But there was something different. I sniffed in the air and my eyes widened; Human.
"Bella…" I murmured softly as I tried to get her attention back. It didn't work, but it wasn't like I was giving up. "Bella, focus on me!" I commanded and thankfully, her eyes flickered down towards me but that was it. The hand that was behind her neck now went to her cheek, caressing it, hoping that it would work. The thirst within her eyes didn't die down, unfortunately.
"Bella, humans are not meals, do you hear me?" By now, both of my hands were cupping her cheek, trying to get her full attention. She produced a growl as if what I said was non-sense. "Bella, just imagine that is Charlie there, do you want to hurt him?" I asked once more, and her immediate reaction was a whimper. This was utterly surprising.
She closed her eyes and it looked like she was concentrating on something, or debating with herself on the matter. I didn't let go off of her face, so I held her face in my hand firmly, her golden eyes locked onto her. Soon she opened her eyes, the thirst was no longer there, but the pain was. I sighed softly and leant up on my tip toes, before pressing my forehead gently against hers.
"You'll be fine, alright? All you have to do is not think about that scent, and focus on the deer. Can you do that, for me?" I asked her softly, as I stared deep into her deep pools of crimson orbs. She nodded her head, and before I could say anything, she grabbed my hand and rushed off towards the deer. I gasped a little at her speed, before giggling. I couldn't blame her, she was trying to distract herself from the human scent.
She let go off my hand afterward, and I paused when I saw her crouched down. I looked ahead of her, and smiled in approval when I saw her preying on a medium size deer. I could see that she chose a male deer, seeing that the antlers on him were fully grown. I returned my attention back to her, seeing that she was beginning to stalk forward. In less than a minute, she pounced. The deer around her target scattered around, while her target tried to fight her off. She didn't give into the fight, she just blurred out of its sight and pounced on its back. She grabbed a hold of its head, and twisted it before she heard, or both of us heard a sickening snap sound. I turned my head away when she sunk her teeth down on its neck. I could smell its blood, but I wasn't thirsty. Animal blood could hardly bring out the monster in me.
I waited patiently for her to finish her meal. It wasn't long though, but I knew that it wouldn't enough for her. She was still in her hunting mode when she pulled away from the deer. Her head snapped up, and I saw her sniffing in the air, and off she went for her next target. I followed her, putting some effort into my agility so I could keep up with her. Finally, I found her stalking her next prey. I lifted my eyes towards her target, and grinned when it appeared to be a mountain lion. This might satisfy her, since mountain lion tasted like human, well just a little. Within seconds she pounced on it, but the two predators wouldn't go down in a fight. I watched in amusement as she wrestled with the lion, while the lion clawed and tore her shirt. I would have to drag her shopping soon enough.
With a low growl, and a sudden sound of a snap, the lion laid dead in her arms while she sunk her teeth in its flesh. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the tree, waiting for her to finish her second meal. When I closed my eyes once more, she was already standing in front of me, smiling like a child that just had her stomach filled with sweet candies. I chuckled softly before I caught a trail of blood at the corner of her mouth. My hand lifted up to cup her face as I leaned up close to that droplet of blood. I flicked my tongue out, licking the blood off before pulling back.
"Full?" I asked, tipping my head to the side as I looked at her. Her eyes were now slowly fading down to a lighter red, and there was no hunger or pain in her eyes. She blinked, and the lust had returned to her eyes again.
"Not yet." She purred lowly before dipping her head down, capturing my lips. I gasped after our lips touched, soon it turned into a moan when she used that as an opportunity to slip her tongue inside my mouth. She pushed me back against the tree while deepening the kiss. I knew that we had to get back soon, and by soon I meant really soon. But I didn't have the strength to pull her away, nor did I have the strength to do anything but returning the kiss with much enthusiasm.
I didn't hear a sound, or maybe I did but ignore it. I was relishing in both of our desires. Even the sound of a snapping twig not too far from us didn't catch my attention. This kiss had already got me all worked up, and I needed her to go just a little further for my release. Only just a little.
A/N: Lust and thirst, the combination can be deadly. :P
Anyway I didn't know how to finish this, so there's a cliff hanger lol. I can't say there's going to be an M rated chapter after this, because I'm still deciding whether to have the forest destroyed or not. So there's a 50% chance the forest may live. And thank you for all of your reviews, I appreciate them. =]
