21。 FIRST HUNT 

;The window�拭─�I asked�察�staring two stories down。 

I'd never really been afraid of heights per se�察�but being able to see all the details with such clarity made 
the prospect less appealing。 The angles of the rocks below were sharper than I would have imagined 
them。 

Edward smiled。 ;It's the most convenient exit。 If you're frightened�察�I can carry you。; 

;We have all eternity�察�and you're worried about the time it would take to walk to the back door�拭─�

He frowned slightly。 ;Renesmee and Jacob are downstairs___; 

;Oh。; 

Right。 I was the monster now。 I had to keep away from scents that might trigger my wild side。 From the 
people that I loved in particular。 Even the ones I didn't really know yet。 

;Is Renesmee。。。 okay。。。 with Jacob there�拭─�I whispered。 I realized belatedly that it must havebeen 
Jacob's heart I'd heard below。 I listened hard again�察�but I could only hear the one steady pulse。 ;He 
doesn't like her much。; 

Edward's lips tightened in an odd way。 ;Trust me�察�she is perfectly safe。 I know exactly what Jacob is 
thinking。; 

;Of course�察─�I murmured�察�and looked at the ground again。 

;Stalling�拭─�he challenged。 

;A little。 I don't know how。。。。; 

And I was very conscious of my family behind me�察�watching silently。 Mostly silently。 Emmett had already 
chuckled under his breath once。 One mistake�察�and he'd be rolling on the floor。 Then the jokes about the 
world's only clumsy vampire would start。。。。 

Also�察�this dress!that Alice must have put me in sometime when I was too lost in the burning to 
notice!was not what I would have picked out for either jumping or hunting。 Tightly fitted ice´blue silk�拭�
What did she think I would need it for�拭�Was there a cocktail party later�拭�

;Watch me�察─�Edward said。 And then�察�very casually�察�he stepped out of the tall�察�open window and fell。 

I watched carefully�察�analyzing the angle at which he bent his knees to absorb the impact。 The sound of 
his landing was very low!a muted thud that could have been a door softly closed�察�or a book gently laid 
on a table。 

It didn't look hard。 

Clenching my teeth as I concentrated�察�I tried to copy his casual step into empty air。 




                                                                                                               Page 241

Ha� �The ground seemed to move toward me so slowly that it was nothing at all to place my feet!what 
shoes had Alice put me in�拭�Stilettos�拭�She'd lost her mind!to place mysilly shoes exactly right so that 
landing was no different than stepping one foot forward on a flat surface。 

I absorbed the impact in the balls of my feet�察�not wanting to snap off the thin heels。 My landing seemed 
just as quiet as his。 I grinned at him。 

;Right。 Easy。; 

He smiled back。 ;Bella�拭─�

;Yes�拭─�

;That was quite graceful!even for a vampire。; 

I considered that for a moment�察�and then I beamed。 If he'd just been saying that�察�then Emmett would 
have laughed。 No one found his remark humorous�察�so it must have been true。 It was the first time anyone 
had ever applied the word graceful 'to me in my entire life。。。 or�察�well�察�existence anyway。 

;T/��an/cyou�察�i told him。 

And then I hooked the silver satin shoes off my feet one by one and lobbed them together back through 
the open window。 A little too hard�察�maybe�察�but I heard someone catch them before they could damage 
the paneling。 

Alice grumbled�察 �Her fashion sense hasn't improved as much as her balance。; 

Edward took my hand!I couldn't stop marveling at the smoothness�察�the comfortable temperature of his 
skin!and darted through the backyard to the edge of the river。 I went along with him effortlessly。 

Everything physical seemed very simple。 

;Are we swimming�拭─�I asked him when we stopped beside the water。 

;And ruin your pretty dress�拭�No。 We're jumping。; 

I pursed my lips�察�considering。 The river was about fifty yards wide here。 

;You first�察─�I said。 

He touched my cheek�察�took two quick backward strides�察�and then ran back those two steps�察�launching 
himself from a flat stone firmly embedded in the riverbank。 I studied the flash of movement as he arced 
over the water�察�finally turning a somersault just before he disappeared into the thick trees on the other 
side of the river。 

;Show´off�察─�I muttered�察�and heard his invisible laugh。 

I backed up five paces�察�just in case�察�and took a deep breath。 

Suddenly�察�I was anxious again。 Not about falling or getting hurt!I was more worried about the forest 
getting hurt。 



                                                                                                             Page 242

It had come on slowly�察�but I could feel it now!the raw�察�massive strength thrilling in my limbs。 I was 
suddenly sure that if I wanted to tunnel under the river�察�to claw or beat my way straight through the 
bedrock�察�it wouldn't take me very long。 The objects around me!the trees�察�the shrubs�察�the rocks。。。 the 
house!had all begun to look very fragile。 

Hoping very much that Esme was not particularly fond of any specific trees across the river�察�I began my 
first stride。 And then stopped when the tight satin split six inches up my thigh。 Alice� �

Well�察�Alice always seemed to treat clothes as if they were disposable and meant for one´time usage�察�so 
she shouldn't mind this。 I bent to carefully grasp the hem at the undamaged right seam between my fingers 
and�察�exerting the tiniest amount of pressure possible�察�I ripped the dress open to the top of my thigh。 Then 
I fixed the other side to match。 

Much better。 

I could hear the muffled laughter in the house�察�and even the sound of someone gritting her teeth。 The 
laughter came from upstairs and down�察�and I very easily recognized the much different�察�rough�察�throaty 
chuckle from the firstfloor。 

So Jacob was watching�察�too�拭�I couldn't imagine what he was thinking now�察�or what he was still doing 
here。 I'd envisioned our reunion!if he could ever forgive me!taking place far in the future�察�when I was 
more stable�察�and time had healed the wounds I'd inflicted in his heart。 

I didn't turn to look at him now�察�wary of my mood swings。 It wouldn't be good to let any emotion take 
too strong a hold on my frame of mind。 Jasper's fears had me on edge�察�too。 I had to hunt before I dealt 
with anything else。 I tried to forget everything else so I could concentrate。 

;Bella�拭─�Edward called from the woods�察�his voice moving closer。 ;Do you want to watch again�拭─�

But I remembered everything perfectly�察�of course�察�and I didn't want to give Emmett a reason to find 
more humor in my education。 This was physical!it should be instinctive。 So I took a deep breath and 
ran for the river。 

Unhindered by my skirt�察�it took only one long bound to reach the water's edge。 Just an eighty´fourth of a 
second�察�and yet it was plenty of time!my eyes and my mind moved so quickly that one step was 
enough。 It was simple to position my right foot just so against the flat stone and exert the adequate 
pressure to send my body wheeling up into the air。 I was paying more attention to aim than force�察�and I 
erred on the amount of power necessary!but at least I didn't err on the side that would have gotten me 
wet。 The fifty yard width was slightly too easy a distance___ 

It was a strange�察�giddy�察�electrifying thing�察�but a short thing。 An entire second had yet to pass�察�and I was 
across。 

I was expecting the close´packed trees to be a problem�察�but they were surprisingly helpful。 It was a 
simple matter to reach out with one sure hand as I fell back toward the earth again deep inside the forest 
and catch myself on a convenient branch�察�I swung lightly from the limb and landed on my toes�察�still fifteen 
feet from the ground on the wide bough of a Sitka spruce。 

It was fabulous。 




                                                                                                             Page 243

Over the sound of my peals of delighted laughter�察�I could hear Edward racing to find me。 My jump had 
been twice as long as his。 When he reached my tree�察�his eyes were wide。 I leaped nimbly from the 
branch to his side�察�

soundlessly landing again on the balls of my feet。 

;Was that good�拭─�I wondered�察�my breathing accelerated with excitement。 

;Very good。; He smiled approvingly�察�but his casual tone didn't match the surprised expression in his 
eyes。 

;Can we do it again�拭─�

;Focus�察�Bella!we're on a hunting trip。; 

;Oh�察�right。; I nodded。 ;Hunting。; 

;Follow me。。。 if you can。; He grinned�察�his expression suddenly taunting�察�and broke into a run。 

He was faster than me。 I couldn't imagine how he moved his legs with such blinding speed�察�but it was 
beyond me。 However�察�I was stronger�察�and every stride of mine matched the length of three of his。 And 
so I flew with him through the living green web�察�by his side�察�not following at all。 As I ran�察�I couldn't help 
laughing quietly at the thrill of it�察�the laughter neither slowed me nor upset my focus。 

I could finally understand why Edward never hit the trees when he ran!a question that had always been 
a mystery to me。 It was a peculiar sensation�察�the balance between the speed and the clarity。 For�察�while I 
rocketed over�察�under�察�and through the thick jade maze at a rate that should have reduced everything 
around me to a streaky green blur�察�I could plainly see each tiny leaf on all the small branches of every 
insignificant shrub that I passed。 

The wind of my speed blew my hair and my torn dress out behind me�察�and�察�though I knew it shouldn't�察�it 
felt warm against my skin。 Just as the rough forest floor shouldn't feel like velvet beneath my bare soles�察�
and the limbs that whipped against my skin shouldn't feel like caressing feathers。 

The forest was much more alive than I'd ever known!small creatures whose existence I'd never 
guessed at teemed in the leaves around me。 They all grew silent after we passed�察�their breath qu
