His Sweet Girl (P. Lahote)

Chapter 25

Bella wakes up as a new vampire and she immediately notices the differences in her senses, noticing dust particles in the air, the textures and details of things in the room, she focuses on Edward and they start touching each other lightly, Edward strokes her face.

"So beautiful," he murmurs. "We're the same temperature now."

Bella looks at herself in the mirror, then turns to Edward and embraces him, not realizing her newly found strength as Edward starts feels uncomfortable in her embrace.

"Hey, Bella, you're a lot stronger than I am right now," Edward says. "It's your turn not to break me."

Bella pulls away from him, her eyes shining crimson. "I love you," she says.

"I love you," Edward replies and they kiss.

Bella pulls away first. "Noel?"

Edward smiles. "He's incredible."

"Where is he?" Bella asks. "I want to see him."

"Wait, wait," Edward says before Bella can leave the room. "You need to get your thirst under control," he says and his wife shafts to look hungry. "Yeah. You'll need to hunt."

Edward and Bella go to the woods on a hunt, as they run at super speed Bella again starts to notice everything in the woods, finally they stop after jumping over a waterfall.

"Close your eyes."

Bella closes her eyes and turns.

"What do you hear?" Edward asks her softly.

Bella starts hearing an owl, a squirrel and then a dear, she goes over to look at the dear when she sees a human in the distance and starts smelling his blood as he hurts himself as he climbs the mountain, Bella looks like she's about to attack when Edward intervenes.

"Bella, don't!"

Bella bolts and starts running towards the human, Edward catches up with her and stops her as she's about to attack.

"Bella, stop!" Edward says to her firmly. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize there'd be people this far from the trails."

Bella looks at the human and tries to control herself. "I have to get out of here."

"Okay, I can help."

Bella jumps off the cliff and Edward looks at her as she leaps off and smiles.

"Or not," he says.

Bella goes to catch the dear but a mountain lion comes up and leaps towards the dear at the same time Bella jumps and takes down the mountain lion, the dear runs off. After that, Edward brings her back to the house.

"Well, I'm amazed. You ran away from human blood mid-hunt," Edward says with a chuckle. "Even mature vampires have problems with that."

Bella sees Jacob walking out of the house and coming towards them.

"You're still here," Bella says. She has no idea that Janie is inside because that thrill from hunting is distracting her.

"So are you. I didn't expect you to seem so you," Jacob says and Bella smiles. "Except for the creepy eyes."

"I would keep my distance for now," Bella warns as Jacob steps closer.

"It's safer for the baby to see how you do with me first," Jacob says.

"Since when do you care about Noel?" Bella asks him.

Jacob and Edward look at each other, knowing that Bella doesn't know that Jacob has imprinted on Noel.
