Chapter 3: Shocked

BPOV

I had to think about where to live next, but I needed to hunt. I couldn't risk being thirsty around any human, that would just ruin everything. All my years of practice, and the hunger would just come back.

I only gave in once, just once. But that was only when I was a new vampire, and I didn't know any better, my changer didn't teach me.

I was left all alone, since he changed my father in Forks…and I was in Seattle. But…why? Why us? Why go to Seattle and change me, and then go to Forks to change my father?

What was so important to that evil blonde man? But where to live? No, Bella stop asking so many questions! You need to hunt. You can worry about that problem later.

After all, you have all eternity, if I play my cards right.

I ran and ran and ran. There were no animals in sight. This might take awhile… BINGO! A bunch of deer, and…and… a rabbit. Might as well. I rushed up behind each one and sunk my teeth into them. Mmm…warm blood. (Strange to picture, huh?) This was definitely enough…for now.

I'll see what else I can find.

"Alice! WHERE are you leading me?! We've got to at least be in Idaho by now! STOP!" I yelled over the rush of the wind. I abruptly stopped, tapping my foot impatiently as I awaited an explanation.

"Well…Alice?" I repeated. Why is she being so secretive?

I watched as she stared at the sky, obviously racking her brain for the right words. I tried to read her mind, but she was blocking me out.

"Alice? If you don't tell me right now, I won't stay. I'll just head back to our usual hunting spot…" I began, trying to make her say what's on her mind. And I succeeded.

She then began.

"Okay. I'll tell you. We're in the forests off the edge of Boise, Idaho. There are a lot more animals to chose from. That's all," (I don't know if there are any forests off of Boise, Idaho. Just pretend)

I could see her fidgeting. That's not a good sign. She's lying to me, and she knows I can tell. I tried to read her thoughts, but she blocked them off. AGAIN.

"Yeah right." I sighed. I wish she would just tell me!

I decided that she was going to tell me…or I was going to make her. I'm so happy Jasper isn't around. He'd kill me. I grabbed her wrist, holding her in the tightest lock I could muster up.

"Alice…tell me. Please. Now." I whispered.

"Um…can I please tell you the rest later? I promise. Let's just hunt for now. Please?" She replied, batting her eyelashes and giving me those big puppy dog eyes that she knew no one could possibly ever resist.

I had to give in. There is no way I could resist her begging. Alice won, as usual; but I'm going to make sure she tells me later.

"Okay. Take me wherever you want to go. I surrender." I put my hands up, watching a smile form across her face, She then grabbed my wrist and led me on toward our destination.

"We're here." Alice said in a sing-song voice.

"And exactly WHERE is here?" I responded.

"Just pick an animal….any animal. They're tons." She laughed.

I settled on three deers, a bobcat, and three rabbits. That was a little less than usual; I'd have to go hunting again sooner. Alice, on the other hand, chose a black bear, a rabbit, and a deer, (LOL! They eat a lot, right?)

"Well that was filling…now what shall we do? GO home?" I asked, turning to Alice.

She didn't turn to look at me, but instead had a strange expression on her face, and then grabbed my wrist. I felt like there was something I wasn't comprehending before me.

"LOOK!" She yelled, pointing.

As I turned in the direction she was pointing, I was shocked at what was before my eyes.

I'm sorry these last three chapters have been so boring (and short). They're kind of like fillers, giving you the thoughts and explanations from Edward and Bella. It WILL get better. (I hope you guys think so!) And review…please, please, please!!! It will be some of my first reviews!!! Well, anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed these filler chapters!!!
