We came up over a đồi núi, hill when I heard something crashing around in the trees. I looked around, noticing that Carlisle and Esme were staying a bit back for some reason. I wanted to ask why but the sound was getting closer.

Suddenly the smell hit me, it wasn't as good as the family I had just seen but this was a close second. It mùi, nấu chảy ra like honey, clover, dirt, pine and something I couldn't name. I looked back at Edward and Rosalie, wonder in my eyes.

"Follow your instincts, it's not people this time. Just do what your body tells you." Edward đã đưa ý kiến as he motioned for me to continue.

Rosalie looked up at me and smiled. "You can do this, we will help if bạn need it."

I turned and walked into the woods in the direction of the smell. I noticed that my footsteps did not make any sound, I kept walking feeling myself crouch down so I would not be as noticeable.

I wanted to get a better look of what this was, so I climbed a ceder cây that was tiếp theo to where I stood. When I got up about 20 feet I noticed a large grizzly chịu, gấu below me. I'm not sure how hoặc why but the tiếp theo thing I knew I was flying down like I jumped out of the tree.

The chịu, gấu was taken bởi suprise. I remember jumping from the tree...then tiếp theo thing I knew I was grabbing it bởi it's shoulder and turning it to face me.

The chịu, gấu roared in anger and suprise. I rolled my weight up onto my toes and roared back at it...well I think bạn could call it roaring hoặc growling. It wasn't sure how to react to this, I could see the confusion and what I would guess could be fear.

I was stairing at the chịu, gấu when I had a foggy memory of the chịu, gấu I found in the woods coming at me...staling me. I closed my eyes, focusing on the face of the animal and the look that must have been on my face.

I growled again at the chịu, gấu and it pulled it's head back to roar. That's when my eyes focused on the large carotid artery in the động vật neck. The pulse of it was almost hypnatizing, it pulsated and relaxed quite a few times in the một phút I watched it.

While I was distracted the animal took advantage. It took it's large claws and raked down my chest, trying to inflict damage.

The sound of it's claws tearing my áo sơ mi was quickly followed bởi a sound that I would recognize as metal scraping metal. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to begin again.

How dumb could I be? I almost died the first time from a chịu, gấu attacking me and now I let another one attack and run it's claws down my chest? I didn't think my Angel would be able to save me again.

I waited for the pain, and no matter how long I waited the pain never came. I finally opened my eyes and looked down at my chest. I instantly started laughing,for all the stregnth that the chịu, gấu put into striking me there was no damage. The only thing that the claw managed to damage was my áo sơ mi and that wasn't a big deal right now.

I started laughing, for some reason this was all the funniest thing that I had seen. I walked slowly back to the chịu, gấu and roared directly into it's face.

The chịu, gấu backed a few paces away from me, hoping that it could get away from me. I let it run a few feet before launching myself behind it. I remember my muscles coiling like a snake, then tiếp theo thing I was jumping.

I managed to pull the chịu, gấu back to a standing positing and rotated it's head back so that I could get at it's throat. tiếp theo thing I knew I was sinking my teeth right through the lông, lông thú and skin, right into it's throat.

The blood was warm, it flowed right down my throat and dulled the burning feeling that had been bothering me before.

I held on to the chịu, gấu and drank every ounce of blood from it before dropping the skin to the ground and giving it a good kick for good measure.

I heard Edward laugh at that and turned to see Edward, Carlisle, Esme and Rosalie all watching me. I smiled at all of them and jogged back to where they were all standing.

"Sorry about the shirt." I đã đưa ý kiến as I looked down and saw the áo sơ mi torn to shreads. I decided to just take the whole thing off and threw it over to the area where the chịu, gấu carcas was laying.

"How are bạn son?" Carlisle asked.

"I feel better now, well a little bit. The burn is still there but it is much less then it was origionally." I explained.

"We should hunt thêm then." Rosalie đã đưa ý kiến as she eyed my chest.

I would have blushed, and maybe I did. I haven't had someone look at me like that before. It was very enjoyable to know that someone enjoyed me even with being a 'vampire.'

I reached out to her and took her hands into mine, we turned and followed everyone else as they headed north.

We came across a good sized heard of deer, I didn't think they mùi, nấu chảy ra as good as the chịu, gấu but at that point I didn't care I was still hungry and they mùi, nấu chảy ra like food.

I stayed back a little bit and watched how the others hunted their dinner.

Carlisle was the first to strike, he went after a large buck. He instantly grabbed the animal and broke it's neck so that it wouldn't feel any pain. He then proceeded to drink and not make a mess at all.

Esme stuck at the same time as Carlisle, hers was a smaller female. She gently grabbed the dear and brought it to the ground, she sunk her teath in before the animal realized what had happened.

Edward and Rosalie were tiếp theo to strike. They both went for larger deer, the both of them taking the deer bởi suprise and snapping their necks and drinking in just a few seconds.

I wondered if it would ever be that easy for me, they made it seem like nothing at all to kill these động vật and I noticed that not one of them let a drop fall to the ground below them.

I ran after a small button buck and knocked it to the ground. It tried to get up again and someone ran over and snapped it's neck.

I looked up about to yell at whomever it was when I realized that it was Rosalie coming over to help me.

"Just kill them and drink fast, the blood doesn't stay warm long and when it's cold it's not good for us." She explained.

I smiled up at her and sunk my teeth into it's throat. The taste was not nearly as good as the chịu, gấu but it finished extinguishing the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy in my throat.

When we were all done we all began walking back to town, everyone discussing where we would be going next. I thought this was strange because I thought that they just stayed in one place and lived their lives like normal people.

"Let's go to Alaska." Esme suggested.

"No we were there a few years ago. How about New York?" Rosalie suggested.

"New York could be fun, but too much sun." Carlisle said.

"How about Washington? It's cloudy a lot there I hear, it's suppose to rain a lot and that would be a nice change." Edward suggested.

I was thinking about all of this when we stepped out of the woods and back into the busy city. I stopped and looked around at all the people who were living their normal lives.

I wasn't paying attention to what everyone else was discussing, a large family had just gone bởi with a xe đẩy, giỏ hàng loaded with fresh vegetables. I instantly started thinking about my family again, I knew that if we were going to leave town I wanted to stop bởi and say goodbye to my family.
