TWILIGHT - chapter 18 - THE HUNT


They emerged one par one from the forest edge, ranging a dozen meters apart. The first male into the clearing fell back immediately, allowing the other male to take the front, orienting himself around the tall, dark-haired man in a manner that clearly displayed who led the pack. The third was a woman; from this distance, all I could see of her was that her hair was a startling shade of red.
They closed ranks before they continued cautiously toward Edward's family, exhibiting a natural respect of a troop of predators as it encounters a larger, unfamiliar group of its own kind.
As they approached, I could see how different they were from the Cullens. Their walk was catlike, a gait that seemed constantly on the edge of shifting into a crouch. They dressed in the ordinary gear of backpackers: jeans and casual button-down shirts in heavy, weatherproof fabrics. The clothes were frayed, though, with wear, and they were barefoot. Both men had cropped hair, but the woman's brilliant orange hair was filled with leaves and debris from the woods.
Their sharp eyes carefully took in the plus polished, urbane stance of Carlisle, who, flanked par Emmett and Jasper, stepped guardedly vers l'avant, vers l’avant to meet them. Without any seeming communication between them, they each straightened into a plus casual, errect bearing.
The man in front was easily the most beautiful, his skin olive-tone beneath the typical pallor, his hair a glossy black. He was of medium build, hard-muscled, of course, but nothing suivant to Emmett's brawn. He smiled an easy smile, exposing a flash of gleaming white teeth.
The woman was wilder, her eyes shifting restlessly between the men facing her, and the loose grouping around me, her chaotic hair quivering in the slight breeze. Her posture was distinctly feline. The seconde male hovered unobtrusively behind them, slighter than the leader, his light brown hair and regular features both nondescript. His eyes, thought completely still, somehow seemed the most vigilant.
Their eyes were different, too. Not or ou black I had come to expect, but a deep burgundy color that was disturbing and sinister.
The dark-haired man, still smiling, stepped toward Carlisle.
"We thought we heard a game," he a dit in a relaxed voice with the slightest of French accents. "I'm Laurent, these are Victoria and James." He gestured to the vampires beside him.
"I'm Carlisle. This is my family, Emmett and Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Alice, Edward and Bella." He pointed us out in groups, deliberately not calling attention to individuals. I felt a shock when he a dit my name.
"Do toi have room for a few plus players?" Laurent asked sociably.
Carlisle matched Laurent's friendly tone. "Actually, we were just finishing up. But we'd certainly be interested another time. Are toi planning to stay in the area for long?"
"We're headed north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in the neighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time."
"No, this region is usually empty except for us and the occasional visitor, like yourselves."
The tense atmosphere had slowly subsided into a casual conversation; I guessed that Jasper was using his peculiar gift to control the situation.
"What's your huting range?" Laurent casually inquired.
Carlisle ignored the assumption behind the inquiry. "The Olympic Range here, up and down the Coast Ranges on occasion. We keep a permanent residence nearby. There's another permanent settlement like ours up near Denali."
Laurent rocked back on his heels slightly.
"Permanent?" How do toi manage that?" There was honest curiosity in his voice.
"Why don't toi come back to our accueil with us and we can talk comfortably?" Carlisle invited. "It's a rather long story."
James and Victory exchanged a surprised look at the mention of the word "home," but Laurent controlled his expression better.
"That's sounds very interesting, and welcome." His smile was genial. "We've been on the hunt all the way down from Ontario, and we haven't had the chance to clean up in a while." His eyes moved appreciatively over Carlisle's refined appearance.
"Please don't take offense, but we'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from hunting in this immediate area. We have to stay inconspicuous, toi understand," Carlisle explained.
"Of course." Laurent nodded. "We certainly won't encroach on your territory. We just ate outside of Seattle, anyway," he laughed. A shiver ran up my spine.
"We'll montrer toi the way if you'd like to run with us - Emmett and Alice, toi can go with Edward and Bella to get the Jeep," he casually added.
Three things seemed to happen simultaneously while Carlisle was speaking. My hair ruffled with the light breeze, Edward stiffened, and the second, James, suddenly whipped his head around, scrutinizing me, his nostrils flaring.
A rapide, swift rigidity fell on all of them as James lurched one step vers l'avant, vers l’avant into a crouch. Edward bared his teeth, crouching in defense, a feral scarl ripping from his throat. It was nothing like the playful sounds I'd heard from him this morning; it was the single most menacing thing I had ever heard, and chills ran from the crown of my head to the back of my heels.
"What's this?" Laurent exclaimed in open surprise. Neither James nor Edward relaxed their aggressive poses. James feinted slightly to the side, and Edward dhifted in response.
"She's with us." Carlisle's firm rebuff was directed toward James. Laurent seemed to catch me scent less powerfully than James, but awareness now dawned on his face.
"You brought a snack?" he asked, his expression incredulous as he took an involuntary step forward.
Edward snarled even plus ferociously, harshly, his lips curling high above his glistening, bared teeth. Laurent stepped back again.
"I a dit she's with us," Carlisle corrected in a hard voice.
"But she's human," Laurent protested. The words were not at all aggressive, merely astounded.
"Yes." Emmett was very much in evidence at Carlisle's side, his eyes on James. James slowly straightened out of his crouch, but his eyes never left me, his nostrils still wide. Edward stayed tensed like a lion in front of me.
When Laurent spoke, his tone was soothing - trying to defuse the sudden hostility. "It appears we have a lot to learn about each other."
"Indeed." Carlisle's voice was still cool.
"But we'd like to accept toi invitation." His eyes flicked toward me and back to Carlisle. "And, of course, we will not harm the human girl. We won't hunt in your territory, as I said."
James glanced in disbelief and aggravation at Laurent and exchanged another brief look with Victoria, whose eyes till flickered edgily from face to face.
Carlisel measured Laurent's open expression for a moment before he spoke. "We'll montrer toi the way. Jasper, Rosalie, Esme?" he called. They gathered together, blocking me from view as they converged. Alice was instantly at my side, and Emmett fell back slowly, his eyes locked on James as he backed toward us.
I tried to do as many activities as I could during the day. The exhaustion and weariness did not stop me from cramming my day’s schedule full. I was exhausted and weary because the tears and the pain came with a vengeance during the nights – cold, starless, lonely nights without the l’amour of my life.

Jacob starred in my dreams every night. His face haunted me relentlessly. I always woke up in the middle of the night shaking with sobs. My parents rushed to my room and tried to console me during the first few weeks until I begged them not to. I quickly learned to muffle my sobs in the gushing...

Kellan Lutz, 23, plays Emmett Cullen, the tall and intimidating vampire husband of Rosalie and adoptive brother of Edward. Lutz’s credits include HBO’s Generation Kill and this year’s revival of 90210.

VF Daily: Had toi read the “Twilight” livres before getting the script?
Kellan Lutz: I hadn’t. I didn’t even know there was a book series. I read the script while I was in Africa and fell in l’amour with it. I loved the vampire story. It felt so new and fresh, not the typical “let’s kill the vampire with a pitchfork” idea. It was really unique. They first sent me out for Edward’s...

I crawled under the blankets on my lit and buried myself in the darkness. I heard the phone ring downstairs but I didn’t get up to answer it. I had an idea of who it might be and I did not want to speak to them. I wanted to be left alone to think about what had happened. What did happen? Had I over reacted? Did I blow the whole thing out of proportion? See, I had always wondered why Edward would want me. I am nothing special but he is. He is like an angel, so beautiful and loving, and then there’s me. Just me. I am so plain that I could be bread. Bread! Yeah, ok I have a couple of magical...

End of Chapter 1

My cœur, coeur started racing as I reached my hands up into his hair, twisting, pulling him closer against me, deepening the kiss. Knowing he was going to eventually pull away, I held on tight, fingers interlocked behind his head. He finally reached up and placed both hands on the side of my head, and pulled me away, breaking the contact I was fighting to hard to keep. I gasped for air, finally realizing that air was important to. He leaned his forehead against mine and looking me in the eye.

“I l’amour you” He said, his cool breath washing over me. par this point I couldn't tell...

When he looked into my eyes he just stood there and stared at me. He had a look in his eyes that I can only describe as love. I searched his thoughts and they were all about me. " What's your name?" He asked.

" Nizhoni Begay, what's yours?" I asked while he continued to stare at me like I was the only thing that mattered to him in the world.

" Seth Clearwater. Umm, have toi seen a tall native guy who's about this tall and dark eyes. He rides this old, red, beat-up motorcycle." He said.

" No I haven't, sorry." That's when I noticed that I was having that annoying buzz at the back of my head when...
