Bella's POV
School had been exactly what I expected, pointless and boring . Gym was horrible and Biology was torture, being that close to Edward, yet so far. The way he looked at me. When I got home I decided to have a shower, just for something to do. I hummed to myself, my lullaby it made my heart wrench painfully. It was almost as if he had left me again. Sighing to myself I got out of the shower and as I was about to walk out I noticed my reflection, I looked paler than usual; if that were possible. My eyes where slightly more golden and black. I was starting to look more like a vampire. It was exhausting maintaining this constant disguise and I knew I needed to hunt tonight. I didn't know how long I could keep this up.
Dinner was unusually quiet, I sat watching Charlie eat. He was exactly how I remembered him, it made me sad to think that I might be soon leaving him again. It had been painful enough the first time. I had hardly got a chance to talk to him and who knew how long I had left. Weeks, days or maybe even hours, I had to spend more time with him I wouldn't get another chance. I was still no closer to figuring out how Ihad got hear or if I should tell the Cullens. "Why aren't you eating anything...Bells?" charlie asked me looking at me closely disturbing me thoughts.
"Huh.. oh em I ate already." I replied looking up ,stuttering. I was finding it hard to keep up this disguise an to concentrate, how could I decide, what if it changed everything? What if I remembered what it had been like originally? Or worst what if I didn't?
"Oh ..ok." He said shortly, looking a bit offended by my lame answer.
"Sorry Dad.. I'm exhausted." I lied yawning and closing my eyes a bit to make it look convincing.
"Yeah Bells you look exhausted.. Go get some sleep." he replied looking concerned. I felt a bit guilty for lying to him, but what else could I tell him?
"Thanks Dad.. Night" I said cheerfully smiling warmly at him, before getting up and hugging him. I then ran out of the room and walked sedately up the stairs. "Night Bells, Sweet Dreams. " He called up the stairs.
The forest was quiet apart from the sound of the occasional animal. Shadows played across the ground making the forest seem errie and magical at the same time. I ran at a leisurely pace, weaving my way in and out through the trees. I was engoying the soft, breeze on my face and my sense of freedom, it felt a bit like I was soaring. Nothing could beat running, except maybe flying and I don't mean in an aeroplane! I was chasing a young male deer and had been for at least thirty minutes now . When I started to catch up to it I would slow down wait a while before gaining on it again. It was more fun that way. I was the cat and he was my mouse. Occasionally I would lose sight of him for a while which meant I had to track it using only my sense of smell. Which was even more fun. The harder the better I thought. I was so absorbed in the chase I didn't notice anyone watching me, everything else was a blur; for me there was only the chase.
NPOV
Tonight she was hunting, she look so graceful, beautiful even in the moonlight. She was so much more graceful than when she had been human. He thought. No.. she killed my mistress. He repeated to himself angrily. Her skin glittered mildly in the moonlight he noted. She was weak. He smiled. She moved with such grace and confidence, naturally. Her movements where precise. She was smiling, a look of pure excitement on her face. She won't be smiling for long. He mused. He tensed he could smell other vampires coming, closer all the time. He glanced back at her once more in exasperation , she was too far, her legs coiled beneath her as she got ready to pounce. He tuned his gaze away from her and he focused on a spot a distance away concentrating briefly, a blue swirling mass appeared and he ran straight into it. He was gone.
There was a faint flash of blue light from where Bella stood, she froze and looked around her, anxious. It was exactly like the blue light that sent her here, had someone been watching her all this time? She sniffed the air, it smelt weird , metallic. Seeing nothing she shrugged to herself before going back to chasing her prey.
Edward's POV
The sky was clear and you could see the star twinkling far away, it was just after twilight. I was hunting with Emmett and Jasper; we were running after some local animals, like deer; they where only here to keep me company while I satisfied my thirst. I was on my second deer when heard a some strangers thoughts. "…my mistress… she is weak".I paused and so did Jasper catching my mood. "What is it?" Emmett asked irritated, he hadn't wanted to come in the first place. Saying nothing and earning a few more puzzled glances , I held up one finger to silence him and sniffed the air. My nostrils were overwhelmed with the scent of a strange vampire, it smelt sickeningly sweet and floral, yet weird he or she smelt different from your usually vampire. I puzzled over this for a while then I smelt something even more strange. Bella. Is she in trouble? Why is she here? I felt panic course though me I had to save her! "Bella" I yelled. Jasper looked at me confused by the emotions coursing though me. Then I ran as fast as I could through the forest. I had to get to her.
Bella's POV
After the light faded I continued on with my hunt. The deer had got quite far, while I was distracted and I had to run full out to catch up. Tired of playing I pounced. My sharp teeth pierced its neck drawing blood straight away. I feed on the deer till there was nothing left. While I was feeding I thought I heard someone approach and heard three small gasps, but it seemed unimportant. My neck started to tingle. I raised my head and felt some blood on my teeth. As I was licking my teeth clean. Remembering the sounds I had heard while feeding. I looked up shocked ready to fight and saw tree pairs of topaz eyes boring into me surprised as I was. They belonged to Emmett, Jasper and Edward. I tried to gauge from their faces what they thought but found it impossible as, as they soon hid their emotions. The choice whether or not to tell them had been taken out of my hands and I let all my pretences fall. For the first time in over a week I looked and smelt like me again. My only thoughts now where whether or not they would believe me and if Edward could ever forgive me.
