Chapter Seven: Hunting as a Family

Carlisle, Esme, Sárika and Edward all stood together in the woods. It was a early morning and the drizzle of rain was coming down upon them. Edward stood huddled next to Sárika he was amazed and somewhat frightened. He had strenght and speed he had never known his vision was so much stronger as was his sense of smell.

His black eyes scanned the tree line before him. "Remember to breathe Edward." She cooed softly so she would not startle him. His eyes turned to look into her own "It will be alright. Close your eyes, listen...find a heartbeat, find a scent."

"What if I attack a person-"

"You know what a person smells like. They are different than a deer or bear. You can do this, don't go into your shell. Break free of that shell. You are strong Edward. Do not live in fear now."

Edward watched Sárika's head snap in the direction of the tree line.

"Sara?" Carlisle called to her "What is it."

"Deer," her eyes closed letting her ears focus on the sounds. "Seven of them. Plenty for us." She turned to look at Carlisle "I will drive them this way." In a flash she had taken off in a speedy run disappearing within the trees.

The three remained behind taking hiding spots as they waited for Sárika to return. Not long after the sound of heavy hooves came running. The seven Deer charged through the area where the family waited. Sárika was running behind the deer, her own eyes having turned black.

Carlisle was first, showing Esme and Edward how to do it. He ran forth wrangling a Deer to the ground keeping his arms around his neck. Esme took her turn, she latched onto a large buck finding it surprisingly easy.

Edward watch Sárika leap from a bolder to tackle her own Deer. His black eyes turned to his own, he felt his legs take off on their own accord, his mouth watering at the smell of the Deer's blood. He lurched forward locking his arms around the animal. His teeth sinking into the flesh of the neck.

His eyes snapped open as the blood rushed into his mouth. Coppery at first but soon becoming a sweet savory taste. The Deer struggled in his arms slowly becoming weak from the blood loss. Edward could hear the heart beating against him echoing in his ears.

"Edward..."

His grip on the Deer grew tighter as he continued to feed "Edward stop not too much!" He was pulled back out of instinct he pushed the person away, that person being Sárika. Not knowing his full new found strength he pushed Sárika hard enough to throw her into a tree. She hit the tree hard enough to where the whole tree vibrated and creaked.

Standing up quickly she brushed herself off "Its okay." She said walking back over to him. Edward looked at his hands in horror. "Edward its alright, you are still a newborn. You will learn control I promise." Her hands cradled his face soothing him. "Its alright."

Carlisle came over with Esme, their hands intertwined. "Come, we must head home before anyone comes." Sárika took Edward's hand in hers pulling him to his feet their hands stayed connected the entire walk home.

Edward kept his hand on hers. The two walking in stride together, they had become closer than ever. She could always tell when he was upset about something. "Mi a baj a bátyám?" (What is wrong my brother?) She asked softly holding onto his arm with her other hand.

He turned to look at her with an arched eyebrow not understanding her native tongue fully yet. "What is wrong?" She cooed this time in English her thick accent hanging on every word.

"I-I hurt you."

"Nincs Edward. You did not. I am a Vampire it would take so much to harm me. A simple thing as being thrown into a tree does nothing to me." She flashed her smile at him her golden eyes glancing at him happily. "Calm now. We are home." Esme and Carlisle watched the two with smiles of their own. The four of them could not be happier.
