Everyday Moments Of Perfection
A/N: Alice and Jasper on the hunt... ;)
Green trees were a blur as together they swept past, moving so fast they were invisible to the human eye. Beautiful and deadly, they cut a sweeping path through the forest, tracking scents, hunting for their prey.
Scent.
Alice and Jasper were tracking a pair of brown bears on a path through the forest. They were wounded and the pair of vampires could smell the delicious scent of their blood all the way through the branches, leaves, bushes. It was everywhere. Sweet and spicy at the same time.
Sound.
They could both hear the growling, closer than ever as they came within a two mile radius of their prey. Two miles was covered in twenty seconds, the speed the pair were moving. Vampires were lethal at the best of times, but this pair, when they were together... nothing would stand in their way.
Sight.
As they approached, they saw the brown pelt of the bears, stained with blood, saw the futile attempts of the dying animals to prevent their fate. They made it quick, without suffering. A slash with a diamond-sharp nail and that was it. Over.
Taste.
Their teeth penetrated the hide of the bears as they fed together. The luscious, sweet blood, still hot from the bears' veins, lining their throats and satisfying the burning feeling inside, satiating the thirst. Once they had finished, Alice and Jasper cleaned away the corpses and approached each other.
"Full?" asked Jasper.
"Stuffed," replied Alice with a sigh. "That bear was too much for me."
Touch.
"Can I give you a ride home, ma'am?" Jasper asked, stretching out his hand, his Southern accent more prominent than usual.
"I would be delighted, good sir," said Alice, laughing, and placed her smaller hand in his.
She leapt onto his back and they ran through the forest, whipping through the trees faster than a speeding bullet.
