Chapter 6

EPOV

Bella continued to amaze me everyday. She had caught a scent of blood and had managed to control herself. I was ready to call Jasper in when she gave up and agreed to go hunting with me. She walked with me to the window and I opened it for us. I gracefully jumped to the ground while she stared after me.

"Edward, I'm not sure about this. Why don't I just take the stairs?"

"You're not getting away with that one, Bella. It's not hard, honestly. Just jump and your instincts will kick in. It's a cake walk." I smiled up at her and she gave me a weak smile. I saw her take an unnecessary breath and jump. She landed gracefully on two feet. She looked stunned that she had pulled it off, and I applauded her quietly. She looked up at me and beamed. I smiled back at her, but was interrupted by the front door banging open.

It was Charlie, and he looked livid. Worse, he had his gun. Here was the explosion we were all looking for.

"What are you doing to my daughter?!" He bellowed. His hand twitched towards his gun and I could hear him considering if it was worth it to shoot me. I internally flinched at his violent mental pictures and tried to remain calm.

"We already explained this to you Charlie. Bella's a vampire now. And, unless you want to be her first meal we need to feed. Carlisle can help explain to you while we're gone. Please don't do anything drastic." I pleaded with him. He was unconvinced, but grudgingly retreated into his house. I took Bella's hand and led her into the woods behind her house.

"We'll stay close this time. It's more important to get some blood in you then to give you a gourmet experience for your first time. We'll have plenty of time for that later."

Now that she was changed I was in a better mood. She really did look like a goddess, and it made it easier for us to be together now that she was a vampire. I temporarily let my guilt go and enjoyed this moment with her. For now, Bella was all I needed.

Edward led me to my window and before I knew it jumped. I looked down to the ground and hesitated. It was a long ways down to the ground. It looked like if I jumped, I'd break both my legs. And I probably would have if I had been human.

"Edward, I'm not sure about this. Why don't I just take the stairs?" I asked hopefully.

"You're not getting away with that one, Bella. It's not hard, honestly. Just jump and your instincts will kick in. It's a cake walk." He called confidently up at me.

I gave him a weak smile and convinced myself to do it. I stepped forward and out of the window.

It was like descending from rock climbing. It was really easy. I had plenty of time to arrange my feet so that I landed right. I hit the earth with a very soft thud and looked up at Edward proudly. I had done it. He smiled at me for a moment before I heard a crash behind me.

"What are you doing to my daughter?!" Charlie came crashing out of the door and had his gun on. He looked like he was ready to use it too.

Edward remained calm and talked to my father. I didn't really notice what he was saying. When my father had walked out of the door the smell of blood had come with him. It took all my self control to not run over to him and drink him dry. I tried to remember that he was my father and how gross it would be. I felt like I was going to break when I felt Edward's hand on mine. He guided me towards the forest behind my house.

"We'll stay close this time. It's more important to get some blood in you then to give you a gourmet experience for your first time. We'll have plenty of time for that later."

I nodded at him and followed him deeper into the forest. Once we were in deep enough for the light to look green around us, he stopped.

"All you have to do let go and let your instincts take over. It's really easy. Just let go to your human emotions and feelings and concentrate."

"You make it sound really easy. I doubt it is, though." I commented. He laughed at me and let go of my hand.

"Trust me on this one." He smiled and sniffed the air. I closed my eyes. Immediately, I smelled a very attractive scent to my left. Without thinking, I sank into a crouch and crept closer to it.

In a small clearing was a pack of coyotes. A growl ripped through my throat and chest and I lunged for the one closest to me. I caught it around the neck and twisted my hands.

I heard a deafening crack and the coyote fell limp. I didn't hesitate to put my teeth to it neck and start drinking. When it was dry my throat felt better and I looked around for Edward. He was standing above his own coyote and watching me.

"You have no idea how sexy you are when you're feeding." He smirked at me. A thought played at the edges of my mind, and I decided to act upon it.

"You haven't even seen sexy yet." I teased. I sauntered up to him and wrapped my arms around him. I pulled his face towards mine and it came. I forgot that I was now as strong if not stronger than him. I could actually force him to do something. I mischievous idea came to mind and I smiled at him.

He leaned down to kiss me and I stopped him an inch from my lips.

"What if I don't want you to kiss me?" I smiled at him innocently.

"I think you'll have to cope then. He pushed harder against my hand, but I pushed back. He couldn't move an inch closer.

"No, I don't think I want you to yet." I teased him

"Bella." He moaned. I laughed at him and let his chest go. His lips hit mine with a fiery passion. He kissed me harder and better than he ever had before. I felt like I wanted to melt into his arms. I played with his hair while he kissed me, and he left his hands on my waist. When he pulled away, we were both gasping.

"What did I ever do to deserve you, Bella?" He whispered to me.

"You were born." I stated simply as I rested my cheek on his chest.

I love you all for reading. I'm going for a thousand hits tonight, but I don't know if I'll get it. It would be cool. And I'd love more reviews by the way.
