I stayed very still as I watched both of the hunters walking through the area. Being so close to them like this was dangerous, well in my opinion it was. With one false move, I could kill them within seconds if I wanted to. But I fought with every once of by being to not snap his neck and drink his blood, which is what I was breathing in constantly. It was very sweet, something I never encountered with animals before, and I wanted it. Wendy taught me control, how to fight the urge and control what was wanted and what was right.

But Sam, even though he had a hand on my arm and a hand over my mouth, was slowly urging to get some blood for himself. His body was pressing against mine harder slightly, and I could tell he was leaning into it. I placed my arm against his, pushing him back and still staying silent as we waited for the men to pass through.

"I'm telling you, these bear like to come out late at night and hunt small game. If we get one..." One of them replied. He was a bit larger than the second human, who had a look of determination in his eyes. That human knew something was out here, and we were it.

"Im sure I heard something moving about out here." The second man replied, more confidence. If they were going to stay out here much longer, Sam would snap. But the larger hunter shrugged and lowered his gun. My eyes were on the guns the entire time. It was their greatest weapon, the only thing that would protect them. Yet I was a weapon, a very powerful weapon that would overpower them ten fold.

"Let's go back, I think you're hearing things." The first hunter said aloud, looking like he lost something dear to him. The both of them then turned and walk over, but I knew Sam and I had to stay still for a moment or two just to be safe.

I waited for a solid ten seconds after they walked away from us and back to town before I pulled away from Sam and walked forward for a moment or two. I tried to not breathe in the human scent they were harboring, it was far too much for me to handle on my own with Wendy. Oh dear, Wendy...

"Thanks." I heard behind me, I looked over my shoulder to see Sam against the tree still. He was clutching the tree so hard that I could see that he would rip the tree off completely. Sam was struggling, struggling to the point of almost being as bad as the vampires who tried to attack us. That then made me want to run over to him, hug him close to try to get his mind off of it. I walked over, very slowly just in case if I were to anger him. Now standing a good few feet away from him I kept my eyes on him, now seeing his golden eyes were going black. He now scared me, from how his stance was.

"Try to think of something else, something positive." I said to him slowly, seeing if he understood me. He tried to calm down, I could see it when he eased his grip on the tree trunk slightly.

"Let's go hunting and stay out here for the night, and then in the morning we will go find the Cullens. Okay?" I asked aloud with some hesitance in my voice. But he was still struggling, and I could tell this was a very hard one. That deer that I saw must of not quenched him completely. Without even thinking for a moment or two, I placed my hand out in front of him between us. The mere thought of him holding my hand, letting me know that he needed me, that slim to none. I just met him, only spoken a few words to him, yet I had a ray of hope. A small amount of chance, and a hint of nervousness.

"Sam, take my hand." I said to him, knowing how it was like that he was in a state of fear and struggle. I was once there when I was a newborn, not knowing what to do or where to go after breathing in a sweet aroma of human blood. Being in the same position that he was in currently, I had to try and help him. He looked at my hand as if it was a specimen from another planet. After a moment or two, he slowly took my hand and I sighed in relief.

"Let's go and find you something to feed on, alright?" I said to him in a soft tone, showing him with my eyes that I did care for him. I saw him carefully let go of the tree behind him and take a hesitant step towards me. I smiled at him, seeing his eyes on me. They were so black it made me think of death, something I never thought I would see in a man like him.

I pulled him slightly and we broke into a run going away from the town. We had to be away from there, just for now until we were both ready to interact with humans. I ran as fast as I could, having the scent of my surroundings invade me. I then found it: animal scent. First it was deer, but I had to find something bigger, much more for Sam. I then found a bear, and it was about two miles away. I ran faster towards it, and Sam was right behind me. He could smell it too, for a low growl came from behind his thin lips.

There was the bear, all alone wandering through the woods and I saw a blur go past me on my left. Sam ran by me in a flash and jumped towards the bear. The way he jumped was so graceful, as if he was jumping from cloud to cloud high in the sky. I was in awe for one second, then seeing him being launched on bear and the bear falling dead the next second. He knew how to kill, in one swift motion. It was clever.

He drank down a good amount of it in a hungry state, his hands digging into the fur of the bear and I stood close by and watched him. Why I was watching him drink in such a hungry and needed state, I had no clue. But he was intriguing to watch and observe, but he looked up at me for once second. I saw how his eyes were now getting warmer, and I looked away in a thought of embarrassment . I looked around the both of us as he was still feeding, trying to make sure we weren't being watched at all.

"You may have some, if you'd like." I heard from close by and I looked in the same direction. Sam was standing up straight then, his eyes on me, they were so warm and now gold. I was touched and a bit taken back by what he said. He wanted to share, with me? I wouldn't think of vampires to share with anyone,at all. But he just offered some to me, how unusual of him.

"Are you sure?" I asked him in wonder. He smiled slightly and nodded his head. I was still for a moment or two, wondering if he really meant that. I moved my eyes from the bear, his blood singing to me, and then Sam who was very quiet and collected now that he was well fed. But when I looked into his now golden eyes, I felt warmth going through me like wildfire. Why was I feeling like this from just looking at his eyes, of all the places on his face to look at.

Shaking it off, I launched myself at the bear, drinking in what was left in him. Sam had a good amount for himself, so it surprised me that there was plenty of blood left for me. I tried to get his eyes out of my head as I felt my throat cooling down and my strength returning. I've only had bear a handful of times with Wendy, the fact that they harbored a rich taste in blood that went far beyond deer or elk even. I loved bear, it filled me up better than anything else.

After I finished my portion, I stood backup completely, moving the hair away from my eyes and looking around me. It was very dark now, the only source of light that I could see was the lights in the town and the moon above us. I looked up to see it right over the both of us, shining so brightly and so brilliantly it made me ache. Now I wanted to be with the Cullens, not knowing what to do next.

"Perhaps we should move away from here." Sam said aloud to me as I snapped my head back over to him. He was still about five feet away from me, and I could tell he didn't know what else to talk about. I nodded my head and cleared my throat.

"Let's find a place to hide for the night." I said to him, seeing him nod his head and we were about to run when I heard something near by. We both stood still, very still, thinking if they made no sound whatever it was would just run away. But the sound came through once more. It was soft, as if bare feet as walking on the soil below us. Someone was coming our way, but it wasn't human. I know of human scent, this wasn't it. It was a strange scent, something familiar to me. A vampire perhaps? Who knew.

"Emma?" I heard near me and I looked in the direction, already crouching down low and baring my teeth. Sam did the exact same thing to my right, but he looked for vicious. There, in front of us, was a young woman who seemed to be in her mid twenties about ten feet away. For one mere moment I thought she was a human, and then questioned how she knew my name. But I was wrong when I saw her granite skin, stunning beauty in her features, and her bright yellow eyes: vampire. She had carmel colored hair, naturally wavy and framing her heart shaped face as she stood in front of us in a typical stunning dress that hugged her curvy figure. She was the definition of beauty, in my opinion as I stood up completely then. Something about her, whether it was her bell tone voice that seemed peaceful and nurturing, or the way she stood in comfort and peace, made me think she was nice to us and wanting no harm from either one of us. I had to take the chance, I just had to.

"Yes?" I asked aloud to the stranger, a eyebrow raised at her direction. She smiled, taking one step closer and having her hands in front of her folded.

"I am Esme Cullen, Carlisle's wife. We've been waiting for you."
