Sorry I didn't get this up last night, but I was working the Fleetwood Mac concert, and well they play for a long fricking time. So here is the next chapter. I want REVIEWS
Chapter 9 BPOV
Can we go hunting?
Edward nodded, "Of course we can. Is the burning bad?" He gave me a questionable look again, as if he was still waiting for me to bound out the window and go kill anything and everything.
"No, it just itches right now, and it is very annoying."
Suddenly Alice clapped her hands and yelled. "Carlisle!"
"Alice!" Edward scolded her. "Why do you have to yell like that, he can hear us perfectly." She just looked at him with narrowed eyes, probably assaulting him with her thoughts.
I smiled then when Edward confirmed my thoughts when he reached out to swat her on the head again, this time making contact creating a loud crack that echoed through the house.
I couldn't help but laugh, and then Alice glared at me.
Thankfully, it was just then that Carlisle appeared in the doorway. Looking at him there, I remembered just how much I had missed him too.
I had missed them all, they were my family. I felt the small ache in my chest, but hurriedly moved to ignore it.
Carlisle stepped towards me, and pulled me into a hug. "Oh Bella, I have missed you. We all have. It is so good to have you back with us dear. Shall we go now though?"
I smiled at him, and nodded my head a little too quickly. I was nervous. How was I supposed to do this ?
Then Edward's lips were at my ear quickly telling me. "You're going to love running Bella. This is simple really, just follow your instincts."
I quickly became more excited then, but it was probably due to Edward's proximity rather than the event we were going to pursue.
Edward tightly grabbed my hand, and we all followed Carlisle out the door and outside.
I smiled once we reached the woods. Everything was so beautiful. Each glade of grass held a vibrant green tone that seemed to sway in little intricate patterns, and little droplets of water bubbled up on each tip.
"It's all so beautiful Edward." I said as I looked up at him. The worry was still sketched across his beautiful features. I reached up and stroked his cheek gently. "Stop worrying. I won't leave your side."
He sighed, "It''s just so unexpected."
Carlisle spoke then. "Perhaps its something that she brought with her from her human life. As a human, Bella was repulsed by blood, so as a vampire now she still holds that aversion. She just needs it to survive."
"But Carlisle, I still feel slightly thirsty..." "That's because your body does crave the blood because it needs to, but you don't feel as strongly about it as the rest of us."
Edward suddenly smiled then. "What is it?" I wanted to know why his mood had lifted so suddenly.
"Alice, she just showed me her vision of you hunting, and how it will all be fine. C'mon love, lets get going our flight leaves at 7 so we only have a few hours."
They all turned to start going, but I was still holding Edward's hand, so when I planted my feet firmly down and stopped moving, he almost fell back with surprise at my sudden stop.
"Flight" was all I managed to choke out. They all stared at me so I continued. "You're putting me a day old vampire on a plane with people, innocent human people?"
Alice was the one to reply me. "Well Bella, technically you're two days old," She stated with a smirk before continuing, "And like Carlisle said, you are averse to blood. Trust me, I have already seen it, and you do want to drink, you are tempted, but your blood lust is nothing compared to ours."
"But you said I will still want it..."
"Bella," her tone was a little amused now for some reason, "you need the blood, and you do enjoy it, but you do not want to want it. You are totally in control of yourself as long as Edward does not leave your side."
I squeezed Edward's hand tighter, and quietly told him, "Don't leave Edward. I don't want to kill innocent people."
He kissed my forehead. "Don't worry love. Let's go hunt." and then we ran.
It was exhilarating. It felt like I was gliding through the air, and everything was crystal and detailed as I ran unlike when I was a human, and it all became a blur. Now I could see the crevices in the bark of the trees, and it was all crystal clear.
I was ecstatic that I didn't run into anything, but I didn't know if I should attribute that to my newfound grace or to Edward guiding me through the paths. This was a lot of fun, and I could see why Edward liked it so much, he was so fast.
I briefly wondered if he would race me, but before I got the chance to ask a smell drifted to me, and I stopped short and changed directions to follow it. Everyone followed with me, and we kept running.
"What is it?" I asked. Edward was the one to reply, "It's a buck Bella."
"It smells good. What am I supposed to do now."
"Just follow your instincts Bella, let them lead you to it." Edward was looking at me while we kept running. Those topaz eyes bore into me, and I knew that he wanted to see whatever Alice had shown him in her vision.
So I pushed my legs harder listening to my body, but keeping a firm grip on his hand. Alice and Carlisle were trailing behind us, but not by much.
We followed the scent as it twisted through the trees, and then I could hear it.
I could hear it's small heart beating as it forced blood throughout the beasts body, and the small patter of its hooves as it beat against the forest floor.
Suddenly the itch in my throat became a small fire, and I realized that I was officially thirsty. I pushed my legs harder sensing how close I was, and then I let Edward's hand go leaving him at the edge of the woods before we saw the small clearing that the buck grazed in.
"Snap his neck first." was all he said and it carried across the air like a gentle whisper.
I never stopped moving. I threw myself onto a large branch of a nearby tree, pounced off of it, and lounged at the buck, who had just lifted his head seeming to sense danger.
I flew through the air, and I felt free and wild. It was liberating in a way.
The bucks head was fully lifted now, and it started to run, but I reached it, and grabbed it's neck roughly twisting it sharply to the left until I heard the crack in it's neck, and the bucks body went limp as it fell to the ground.
Without thinking about it, I bit into his neck. The warm rush of his blood was inviting and it soothed the burn in my throat.
I felt Edward's hand on my shoulder, as I pulled my head away from the buck's neck. I had drank him dry. I stood up and looked into Edward's eyes. They were a darker honey gold now, but I knew this look now.
He took my hand and we walked to the edge of the clearing together, his eyes never leaving mine. "You made that look so easy love." I smiled shyly at him. It felt good to move so fast and freely.
"Where are Alice and Carlisle." they seemed to have disappeared. "They went to find their own kills."
We stopped together at the edge, and he placed his hands on my hips pulling me closer to him. "You continue to amaze me Bella." His voice was dark and husky, and I couldn't help the shiver that rolled through my body as he spoke to me.
I felt the heat explode inside of the pit of my stomach creating a whole inferno inside of me. The fire in my throat was nothing compared to this. This fire sparked each nerve in my body as Edward pulled me tighter into him.
I smiled at him, and lifted my face to his gently grazing my lips against his, "I'm glad you stayed Edward."
He gently moved one hand to the small of my back, and kept the other firmly against my thigh. I could fully feel his hardness as it pressed into me now, and I rolled my head back feeling the pressure of his presence. Knowing he wanted me excited me, and I couldn't help myself.
I placed one hand on his chest and pulled the fabric of his loose shirt into my hand, and I leaned up to whisper in his ear grazing his ear lobe with my teeth. I felt his body tremble as he grabbed my hip harder.
His shirt was still clutched in my hand, and I growled at it lightly. "What is it love?" he questioned.
"I like you better without all the clothes." I growled softy into his ear.
I felt his body shake, and then he chuckled gently before replying. His hardness was straining against his jeans now as if it was going to break through the confines of the restricting fabric. I suddenly hated jeans very much.
"I'm sorry you feel that way, because as much as I hate to disappoint you, I can't go walking around town naked every day. People would start to ask questions, and think very inappropriate things about me." he joked lightly with me, but I was on a mission.
I really hated these clothes right now and the thought of all of those slutty and horny girls in Forks ogling my Edward angered me, so I replied to him.
"I don't want you to be naked in front of town. Too many girls would come after you, but right now, right now you can be."
Then I ripped away his shirt, and crushed my lips into his.
"Bella," he moaned my name, as he lifted me up to him. I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist placing his hardness closer to where I wanted it to be. We still had too many clothes on separating us from what I now know we both wanted.
He talked lightly into my ear sending sparks throughout my body, "Now Bella, that's two shirts you owe me now. You keep this up, and I'll have nothing to wear on the plane."
Without thinking, I rocked my hips into him causing both of us to moan. I had enough with the talking, and apparently so had he.
He pushed me up against a huge oak tree, and I laid my head back against it leaving my neck open to him, and he attacked it with kisses. He started to trail his hands lightly up from my hips to underneath my sweater, and as he grazed my breasts, I arched into him moaning his name.
"I love you, Edward"
He attacked my mouth then, our tongues battling for dominance as we explored each other's mouths. I moaned into his mouth as his fingers pinched at my nipples sending a sensation throughout my frame, and I kept rocking my hips against his hardness wanting the friction.
He growled at me seductively, and now when I rocked into him he pushed against me causing me to moan much louder. I couldn't take it anymore, and I let out a small whimper. My body was on fire, and he was the only one who could put it out.
"Please Edward, I need you." at that he started to trail his hand down to where I wanted him to go, and I smiled knowing that I was going to get what my body was craving. I pulled my legs tighter around him, and put my lips to his neck softly grazing his skin with my teeth, and he moaned.
I would never get sick of hearing that sound come from him.
"Ahhhemm." "Err... Umm."
A not so subtle coughing and throat clearing broke through our moment, and I Edward growled.
It wasn't a seductive growl this time, but now it was a fully irritated and angry one that scared me a little.
I didn't need to lift my head up to see who the intruders were, but I did anyway.
If I could still blush, I would have turned a bright red.
Alice and Carlisle were there, and Carlisle stood half turned towards us, looking as embarrassed as I was, and trying to look anywhere but at his son who was shirtless, and pressed up against me, as I had my legs tightly wrapped around his marble body.
This was so embarrassing. How would I ever be able to look Carlisle in the eyes again. We were stupid to think that we had privacy. We were after all in the middle of the woods, on a hunting trip with his family. Of course they would have came back for us.
Then Alice's angry voice interrupted my thoughts. "Don't you dare growl at me Edward Cullen. You know fully why we had to interrupt. Our flight leaves in 1 hour Edward, and you two would have caused us to miss it, and you know we can't miss it. Not with the wolves around town. We can't risk them connecting our scents." Alice looked absolutely furious with us. She looked so scary that I just had to look away digging my head back into Edward's shoulder.
All I could think about was the fact that they were still standing there, and my legs were still firmly wrapped around Edward, and his hardness was still pressing into me refusing to do down, and my body seemed to refuse to stop burning for him.
"Edward?" I managed to whisper to him. He looked to me, and sighed then.
"Go ahead. We'll be right behind you guys." Carlisle nodded quickly and disappeared without a word or second glance.
"Go Alice. We're coming, but as if you haven't embarrassed us enough already, I am not walking in front of you like this!"
Alice kept staring before finely nodding her head firmly.
She stepped forward and picked up Edward's shredded shirt, probably to rid the forest of any evidence of our presence, but I could hear her muttering. "Can't keep it in your pants for five minutes." as she walked away after Carlisle.
After she was out of sight I unwrapped myself from Edward, and slid down to my feet. I felt saddened when I felt the loss of his hardness that had been so prominent just moments ago.
He started laughing then, and I turned to his face. "What."
"Don't look so disappointed love. We have an eternity to be together."
Oh, I realized that I must have looked upset that my body had been denied what it was so desperately craving.
"C'mon Bella. We better get going now before she comes back here."
"I have nothing to wear though." I said as I noted that my clothes were full of leaves, mud, and little splats of blood from the buck.
"Carlisle and Alice stopped and got some things for you on the way back from the funeral so you'll be fine. We better hurry our flight leaves soon."
I nodded my head, and we ran back to the house. When we got there Carlisle was sitting on the couch in the front room, and Edward went right to his room to change. I wanted to go with him, but Alice grabbed my hand.
She was suddenly happy and perky again.
"So you're not mad at me anymore Alice?" She started to giggle. "Oh, Bella I could never stay mad at you. I missed you entirely too much to waste time being angry at you for wanting to have sex with your boyfriend."
I swear I would have died right there when she said that out loud, and with Carlisle so close by. He was a religious father figure. I'm sure he was happy that we were together, but religion frowned upon premarital sex so I didn't know where Carlisle stood on that.
"Oh get over it Bella! It's a very natural thing." Alice sang in her melodic voice before she started pulling me up to her room.
"C'mon Bella it's time for you to look at yourself and get ready for the flight."
I had never even stopped to look at myself. I started to wonder if I was beautiful.
A/N: Wow 2878 words for you guys. Tell me what you all think because I want reviews. If I get up to 20 preferably 25 then I will update. If I get 25 then the update may even be tonight, but as long as I get 20 then it will be very soon. Please tell me what you think.
