Mid Afternoon Hunts [OPEN]

[KALEB CULLEN]

It was the weekend in the small town of Fork, Washington and in the forest among the green moss covered trees and Ferns and underbrush that was bursting with plant life as well as Fungi known as mushrooms The Wildlife scampered around nibbling on the plush greenery. Not knowing there were things lurking in the mist that were higher on the food chain then they.

The overcast skies laid a misty rain down over the ground below. Promising a heavier rain sometime in the day. The windows of the manor in the forest where the Cullen's resided were fogged and most people were going about their own business. Kaleb Cullen sat in the sitting room reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. He had just picked it up and was only on the third chapter.

His darkened eyes scanned across the white pages that held the fine details of the book in his hands. A scratchy burn was flaring in the back of his throat and he was needing to hunt but was holding it off. Its not like he was gonna be dragged into a room full of Humans anytime soon. Only thing close to Human in the house was Renesmee and she was off with Jacob most likely.

He was wearing a pair of black jeans with a black tee that had a gray skull on it with his black van sneakers. Accompanied with a black leather belt and his Cullen Crest on his right wrist. As he got through with the chapter and was about to start the next one he heard someone enter the room. He could tell it was Alysa right away. Tossing his book on the table after marking his place with a book mark he cracked his neck.

The burning was now starting to get to him and mountain lions or bears were on the menu. Of course he'd kill the first thing he came across that was worth sucking dry. Running his hands through his hair he turned and looked at Alysa as she entered.

[ALYSA CULLEN]

Alysa sat her bed with a burn in the back of her throat. Across from her was her mirror, her eyes were no longer topaz they were a dark black.Her ipod sat on her dresser playing Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. Sighing she stood up and walked over to her window,the breeze blew through her room bringing in the scent of deer. The burning in her throat increased,it was beginning to annoy her.

She grabbed her ipod off her dresser and left her room. On her way down the stairs she passed the graduation hats on the wall ad chuckled. She always found that funny. She was dressed in a whit shirt with a smiley face with fangs on it,black skinny jeans with zippers on them, a neon green head band and black and white nikes.She wore her Culllen Crest necklace over her shirt.

She found Kaleb reading a book, she knew he knew she was there. His eyes were dark like hers, he must be hungry.Wanna go hunt?she said standing in he door way. She looked down at him,she could see the cuts on is wrist from when he was human. She looked away afraid of getting caught looking at them.She shifted her weight to her left foot to keep from being too still. Vampire or human it sucks to be bored. She sat on the floor and bit her thumbnail.

Kaleb heard Alysa step down from the last few stairs and speak. Brushing his pale fingers through his dark brown hair flipping the wayward strands from his eyes he watched her plop down onto the floor beneath her as she chewed on her nail. He noticed her eyes were dark. Black like his. Both of them needed to hunt and the burning in his throat was about to make him climb the walls in annoyance. Nodding as she spoke he responded to her,

"Yeah. I was just about to head out to go hunting, myself. I've not been in a few days and the burning is about to drive me up the damn wall."

He spoke as he watched her. He noticed she looked at his wrist and he moved his hands to his pockets to where his wrist were somewhat concealed from view. He wasn't proud that he tried to take his own life but then again when he looked at it as if from another persons Point of View some would say it was understandable, and quite frankly he wasn't exactly clear headed when he slashed his wrists open that day in the woods.

He also didn't get mad at those who stared. He understood why they looked. In their shoes he'd look to so he couldn't really get mad for something he would do himself.

You're setting me free

With one more kick in the teeth

"Yeah. I was just about to head out to go hunting, myself. I've not been in a few days and the burning is about to drive me up the damn wall."he replied. Alysa chuckled and bit her finger telling herself that fingernails weren't meant to be bit.She looked up at him,watching as he slid his hands in his pockets.He saw me staring she thought to herself. She gave a half hearted smile and clicked her heels together,soon the sound became annoying so she stopped.

Throw your stones and you won't see me break it....

" I know how you feel...jeez I'm so freaking bored." She stood up and stretched, she didn't like sitting in one position for to long it made her feel like a statue. She ran her fingers through her hair, a few fell in front of her eyes. She put it back in place and sighed. The only thing she didn't like about her being a vampire was that she couldn't dream anymore. When she was human she would dream to wash away from her troubles. But now that she cant she realized how much she missed being human.

Say what you want, take your shots....

Alysa stood up and ran out of the house, her speed picked up easily as she bobbed and weaved through the tree's. She jumped and landed on a small branch that cracked under her weight. She jumped again and landed on a big branch, she used the momentum to jump from tree to tree gaining her speed back instantly. When she looked down she could see her shadow. That's awesome

You're setting me free with one more kick in the teeth.....

"Now this is better than sitting around all day," she said aloud, her voice made an echo which was cool.

Kaleb nodded smiled lightly and watched her dart from the room in what would be a blur to the human eye. In a millisecond his feet where carrying him out the door and into the woods. Darting through the trees and underbrush, his feet leaving imprnts in the earth he heard her yell from the tree tops up ahead of him.

Laughing slightly as he caught up and they headed deeper into the forest looking for any sort of animal to take down. Besides squirrels and birds. It would be comical and a desperate situation if a vampire fed from a squirrel. Rushing through the trees at an alarming speed the atmosphere around him moving past in blurry colors he was sniffing the air for a meal as his darkened eyes darted around looking for movement.

They were now deep in the forest and Kaleb came to a stop. Turning a few times he focused on his surroundings. Listening, Watching, as well as sniffing. Thats when he heard it. Running water but then the splashing in it. Most likely a deer or large animal crossing the stream. Darting off in its general direction he began following the sound of the heartbeat and the smell of blood.

Hearing Kaleb's laughter she smiled. She watched him dart off in another direction, he must've caught the scent of something. She followed him, her hair was in a frenzy around her face but she didn't mind. She loved the smell of nature around her it made her feel... she didn't have a word for how it made her feel. Pausing she heard the sound of hooves beating against the earth, the smell was intoxicating. Quickly turning she ran towards the smell. As she got closer she could hear more that there was more than one.Jackpot!

The woods broke into a little field full over grazing deer. Alysa could smell their blood, the burning in her throat was fierce. From across the feild she spied a mountain lion watching the deer just as she was. Smiling she decided to strike at the same time the lion did. The brown creature crouched down in its hunting stance, and Alysa set her eye on a big buck.

The lion sprang into the air and caught a doe, Alysa jumped off the tree branch that she was seated on and landed on the back of the buck. With one quick movement she snapped it's neck and drank it's blood. Around her the other deer fled towards the tree's to safety. After she drained the buck she let it drop to her feet, licking the blood off her bottom lip she watched the mountain lion as it dragged its meal into the woods.Probably to feed her cubs.

Looking back at the way she came, she smiled wondering if Kaleb had caught his prey. Alysa jumped onto the same branch she'd been perched on before and waited for him knowing he'd come to find her.

Kaleb was crouched low to the ground watching his prey carefully when he heard Alyssa come up behind him. He looked through the various deer in the herd deciding which he was going to take down. As he narrowed his blackened eyes he spotted the mountain lion.

It sprung and so did Kaleb. the chase was on. He chased after one of the bucks, darting around through the trees. Finally he launched and took it to the ground. It struggled and Kaleb easily snapped its neck. The deer fell motionless and the heart beat stopped. Leaning down he bit into the neck of his kill.

Eyes slowly going back to their orange shade that they seemed to stay at he disposed of the carcass in a ravine and stood straight. Clean as he was when he started the chase. Save for the few leaves stuck to him. Kaleb brushed them off and chased after another deer that zoomed passed him.
