At the Beginning (sequel to Journey to the past)

Chapter two: First Hunt

We jumped out the window and we begin to run through the forest in our backyard. As I race Edward through the forest, I notice tiny flowers opening... a spider playing with a drop of water on a web...

Edward overtakes me and jumps so I jump too and end up jumping right over a waterfall.

We race to the top of a mountain before Edward stops me.

"Close your eyes."

I do and he turns me round.

"What do you hear?"

I hear an owl hooting... a squirrel squeaking... footsteps, and then... I smelled the air. My eyes shoot open and I follow the sound until I reach the rock I looked down to see a deer.

Edward appears beside me and nods.

As I get ready to pounce, a breeze blows past and I smell something even sweeter...more delicious, I look towards the direction and I see a person climbing I try to resist the temptation but then they tripped and cut their knee opening a wound...that was it I want it.

"Bella, don't."

I can't help it and run off. As I near the cliff face, I jump and land a good ten feet up before I begin my ascent with ease.

When I reach the first ledge...

"Bella, stop."

I do, and Edward appears over the edge.

"I'm sorry; I didn't realize there'd be people this far from the trails."

I look up; the man is only about ten above me.

"I have to get out of here," I hiss.

"Okay, I can help you."

I just run and jump.

We track down the deer but as I'm preparing myself, I hear a growl and see a mountain lion also stalking my prey.

I look at the deer, then the mountain lion, and as it pounces, I pounce and take down the puma. It growls at me before I sunk my teeth into it neck and let the blood ooze down my throat.

We continued to hunt for maybe an hour or two and I was full and the burn was muted but still there. We sit on a rock looking over our kingdom and I sighed.

"What is she like?", I ask

He chuckles. "She's amazing", he answers

"Who does she look like in your opinion?", I ask

"Honestly, I would say it fairly divided, but she has your brown eyes", he answers

"And the vampire part?", I ask

"Well, she prefers blood...so whenever you go back to L.A. for some time you'll need blood in the house, her skin is like ours but she does have a slight shine to it, but the human part is that she can eat human food but we are still trying to get her use to formula.", he explains

I nod listening to this fascination.

"And Bruno?", I asked

"He's upset he missed the birth but we told him that it was good he missed it I wouldn't want anyone to see that. But he's in love with his daughter I can tell you that...he wants to see you both of them do", he says

"How do you know she does?"

"She told us"

I raise an eyebrow.

"Maybe it's a good thing for you to see for yourself if your comfortable with it", he says and stood up

I nodded. I stood up and looked down at what was once a pretty dress to now bloodied rags.
