.:: The Hunt ::.

Edward played the piano, feeling irritated. He couldn't quite get his mind right for this piece... It bugged him - but not as much as being away from Bella did. He wondered what she was thinking right now. Whilst Bella's faraway mind gave no insight once again, he caught a snatch of Alice's own thoughts. He grinned, then called up the stairs to her. "And a shirt for me - just in case I get a bit clumsy".

Edward smirked at her choice, and shook his head ruefully. Typical Alice. He hoped he wouldn't need it... but he had been a little preoccupied lately with his newest, developing piano piece. He pushed the lid down on his instrument, resigned. He nodded to Alice, and doodled on the back of his music sheets thoughtfully, waiting for them to get going.

Edward sighed, then smiled a little at her comment. She was right... nothing would happen to Bella. In two days, she couldn't do too much damage. He grinned, genuinely this time as he thought of ways to surprise her when he returned. "Hmmm....perhaps a nice evening out?" He murmured to himself. Hah... Alice would just love preparing her for that. No, something less painful for her would be more appropriate - I don't want her clawing off the makeup all night. He shook his head, laughing softly, then returned to his piano, and the difficult new piece.

Carlisle poked his head into the room, "Did I just hear my name being mentioned a moment ago?" he asked. Well of course he did, he was a vampire and it didn't matter that he was across the other side of the house, he just liked to keep up with the human pleasantries. "Ah, it seems I'm keeping us behind. My humblest apologies." he said taking the clothes from Alice's arm.

Alice gave Carlisle an apologetic smile. "no, not really..." she gave him his clothing and was off to the waiting room.

Edward snorted a litle at Rosalie's pathetic mental capacity. "Is that all you think about Rose? Surely you have better things to worry about - like yourself? Better yet, don't think at all. You might get wrinkles". He laughed slightly, but with little humour. Rosealie's attitude toward Bella was getting on his nerves. He closed the piano lid quickly, and looked in Carlisle's direction. "Are we off now, please? I want to get this over with".

"Ah yes of course." Carlisle perked up, with a small smile on his face although noting Edward's anxiety. "We'll go right out into grizzly country, for Emmett's sake, this time." he continued mentally adding. 'And I'm sure we won't be any longer than usual Edward, Bella will be just fine whilst we're gone.'

Edward remained expressionless as the others spoke around him. He knew he was overreacting about this, and tried to calm himself down. He shook himslef mentally, trying to shake off his unsettled feeling. He nodded once to Carlisle, not bothering to pretend to smile anymore. "Can we please go now?"

' Yes lets just go alreaddy! Come on Em!' Rosalie Sulked.She spent the whole car journey wraped tightly under Emmets arms.' I need to get as far from Edward as i can ,if i dont want to rip off his head' she smirked at the thought of Edward not putting up a fight, ' i dont want to hurt you' he would say'.Or maby he just knew he was no match for her ! Yes that was it .

Edward blotted out the distracting mental broadcasts of his family as much as possible, concentrating fully on his prey. After a little tracking, he came upon a young male. Feisty, strong. Good. He needed it right now. He went into a crouch, and prepared to lunge at his prey. When he did, he would end its excistance quicky.

Edward hissed in surprise at the collision. He snarled at himself - he had been so absorbed in his meal, he had rendered himself oblivious to his surroundings. He glanced down at Alice, confused. The reasons for her actions wer unclear to him, but it seemed to be... a vision, maybe? He would question her behaviour later. Right now, he wanted an explanation. The bear had seen the confrontation of two stronger predators and made its hurried escape. Edward sighed, and folded his arms in annoyance. "Alice - what the hell? You better explain this, or at least make it clear to me in your head."

Ana walked quietly next to Anthonie. Her black leather gloved hands behind her back. Her gloves reached to her elbows and disappeared into the sleeves. She wore a soft black sweater with a long pair of jeans. She wore black hiking boots. From the neck down there was no trace of skin. She wore a lacey black chocker around her neck. She looked ahead, wondering were they where going.

Emmett had just finished his third grizzly when Alice ran past him. "Whoa, what's going on?" He asked but Alice just kept on running. What's up with her? he thought. Emmett looked back the way Alice had come and saw Edward on his way. Edward didn't slow either, he just kept running, right past Emmett. "Fine, ignore me all you want!" He huffed and ran after them at vamp speed.
