Raising Patricia Cullen Ch.10

(Bella's POV)

Waking up as a vampire was totally different than being a human. I could see the dust particles floating in the air. As Edward and I head outside my senses are hit with different smells and tastes. The salt from the ocean and the smell of the fresh washed over sand.

"It's going to be a little overwhelming but I'm right here" Edward says and I nod and my throat burns again.

Edward grabs my hand and starts to run. I follow and we run to a huge fence. Edward and I climb into it and my nose is hit with different smells. One earthy and two others that smelt different the he earthy smells.

"What am I smelling?" I ask.

"The earthy one is deer and the other two is mountain lion, mountain lion smells sweeter like human blood almost and the one that smells slightly sour is the bear" Edward says and I nod.

"Close your eyes and follow your senses" he suggests and I nod. I close my eyes and listen for heartbeats. I hear one off into the distance to my left and I smell and it smells how edward described as the mountain lion.

I take off towards the direction and Edward follows close behind. I find a mountain lion laying in a tree looking down at a few deer. I climb the tree swiftly and get to the branch above the lion.

Edward stays hidden and right when the lion is about to pounce I drop down onto it. Before it has time to fight I snap its neck and start to drink eagerly.

After finishing it I throw its carcass down before taking down a few deer also. When I'm done I wipe my mouth of andlook or Edward.

"That was very impressive" Edward says as he come out from behind trees.

"Now to clean up" he says and helps me dig a hole to bury the carcasses.

We head towards the house when a scent that was less sweet than the mountain lion hits my nose. Edward gasps and hold onto me.

"What's That smell?" I ask.

"That's human blood" he says and tries to get me into the house.

"Kaure and her son are here! There not suppose be coming here until Carlisle Gives them the ok" He says quickly and he gets us into the house.

He doesn't let go of my arm but as the smell gets closer his hold becomes tighter.

"Edward stop! You hurting me!their not affecting me! I'm fine" I say and he lets go and I turn to look at him. He's looking at me in shock.

"I promise Edward I'm fine. I sa nd take a deep breath and throat aches a little bit not a bad as it did when I woke.

"Amazing" he says but the knock at the door stop him.

"Go hide in the bathroom please. They will question your eyes. They have stories of demons like us" He says and i nod and head to the bathroom. I hear parts of edwards heated conversation.

When Kaure asks to see me I quickly go the shower and turn it on and Edward tells her I'm taking a shower.

After a few minutes she leaves and i hear the boat leaving. Edward comes back in as I shut the shower off.

"Thank you" he says and I nod.

"So what would you like to do?" he asks.

"I don't know" I say as I still look around the room looking at the details.

"A swim maybe?" Edward asks and I nod.

We race off to our room and Edward has to help me after I ripped two swimsuits.

"It's alright love. Your strength is stronger than what it use to be. You just need to remember that you have to do things very carefully now." He says as he sees my frustrated look as I tried grab a towel from the towel rack and ripped the rack out of the wall.

"Can we just go outside please" I request and he nods.

We head outside and Edward sets our towels down before offering me his hand. We walk hand and hand into the ocean and the water that use to feel cold to me felt almost Lukewarm.

"The water feels warm, Not cold anymore. Why?" I ask confused.

"It's because our body generates temperature differently then when you were human. For example when we hold hands now I feel warm to you now. not cold any more." Edward says and I feel his hand and indeed it is warm to me.

"we're finally he same temperature love" Edward says and leans down to kiss me.

I don't kis him back afraid I'll hurt him. Edward sighs as he pulls back and he gently caresses my cheek.

"It's alright love you will find you strength in time. That's why we're going to train you a bit before we go back to the family and our daughter." He says at the mention of our daughter I try to pull up a memory of her.

The Memory I pull up is her from our wedding day just a few days earlier. I smile and Edward looks at me.

"Do you remember our daughter?" he asks.

"Yeah. My memory brought up an image of her at our wedding a few days ago" I sayad he smiles.

"That's good love, this means you hopefully will remember naturally without the help from the many videos and pictures mom and dad took to help you remember" Edward says and I smile.

"lets wait for dad before you try to remember anything else" Edward says and I nod. Edward and I swim for a few hours before tensun sets and head inside and just snuggle.

(a day later)

Edward and I were having fun getting used to me beng vampire Throughout the day yesterday Edward and I made love.

It more than what I thought we would do. Its nice not having to stop an activity to go the bathroom or eat.

Just to be on the cautious side edward and I were going hunting again.

"Stay close to me bella" Edward says and I nod as we take off through the forest.

We find a small herd of deer near the creek and we pounce. Edward only takes two while I take four to be on the sqe side just incase we had another human visitor.

Edward and I were just walking around enjoying the scenery when my ears pick up on the sound of a boat. I listen hard to hear a heartbeat but don't hear one.

I sniff the air and I don't recognize the sent my mind's tells me to protect Edward but Edward grabs me.

"It's ok love it's just…." Edward starts but I cut him off.

"Daddy" I say and he nods and we make or way to the shore.

When we get there dad is tying up the boat to the little dock we had. I take off and he looks up when I get closer. I jump into his arms and hg him.

"Sweetie you're stronger than me right now" he says as he winces and I let go and look down embarrassed.

"It's alright sweetheart you just need to work on your strength" dad says and Edward finally makes his way to us.

"Hello son' dad greets and Edward hugs dad.

"how is everything going?" Dad asks as we walk towards the house.

" the only thing bella is having trouble with is her strength" edward says.

"You took her around humans already" dad asks outraged.

"No daddy, the housekeeper and her son stopped by the morning I woke up from my change they did not affect me at all" I say and dad nods and calm down before getting a look of shock on his face.

"Amazing" He says as we make it to the house. She also remembers our daughter. She remembers her at the wedding" Edward says.

"this is amazing" dad says in awe and if I could blush I would. Dad chuckles softly and Edward sighs.

"We just hunted so if we want to train we could start" Edward says and dad nods.

"Since your so controlled we just have to do strength training" dad says and I nod.

"how is Patricia?" I ask.

"she's doing good with your sisters. She was having trouble the first day without you guys but now she is perfectly fine" dad says and I nod.

"but the good news is with the control you have we can get you back home quicker than originally planned" dad says and I smile. Edward smiles back at me.

"we just got to work on strength training and when I'm satisfied we'll head home" dad explains and I nod. Edward takes dad's bags and takes them to the main bedroom.

"how do you feel?" dad asks me as he wraps his arm around my shoulders.

" I feel amazing. It's amazing how much I missed all the little details of everything." I say and he nods.

"how does your head feel?" dad asks and I look at him in shock.

"you can see the fine cracks that haven't healed yet." Dad explains and I nod.

"it feels fine. I don't even feel it anymore" I reply and dad nods as Edward comes back in and sits next to me.

" how does your forehead feel?" dad asks Edward.

"perfectly fine" Edward replies with a chuckle and i look down in embarrassment.

If i was still human i knew my cheeks would be flame red but since i was finally immortal the only way you could tell is me looking down. Edward sighs and i look up at him.

"I'm going to miss your blush but you're finally indestructible" he says and dad and i chuckle.

"Why don't we start on your strength training?" dad asks and i nod eagerly.

"Edward why don't you go get the suitcase with the things i brought for bella's training" dad requests and edward nods before disappearing up the stairs.

Edward comes back down stairs with a medium sized suitcase.

Edward sets it on the couch and dad opens it up. I see a variety of items and i groan this was going to be horrible.

"It's alright bella it's going to take a few trails but after a while you'll get the hang of it." dad says.
