-she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted at him-
I'm NOT too little! I can do it! I'm almost 10!! I mean..... -frowned- I don't know how old I am but I CAN DO IT!!!
-she fought the urge to stick her tongue out at the two of them and turned on her heel, running as quickly as she could towards the front door of the house. She'd show them-

Before Bella could answer, Renesmee protested her ability. A smile crossed her lips as she was about to negotiate compromises as she and Edward used to always do.
Just then, Renesmee took off towards the door and out of the house. She looked to Edward and gave a worried glance.. "You said....once before, her skin was like ours? Stone-like?" Though no one tested that theory or wanted to, she questioned it.
"How sure are you? Should we....I mean...." She knew Renesmee couldn't get far, even though she was fast, she wasn't as fast as a full vampire. Should she allow her daughter to try, risk her life if she wasn't as strong as they perceived?

We could come to a compromise, but as he was about to speak, Nessie has taken off after declaring that she was strong enough to handle what they could handle. He could sense Bella's worry at letting her loose on such a large wild animal.
"Carlisle thinks her skin is just as strong as ours, although he never tested *he hesitated* But maybe she is right, maybe we should let her. We will be there Bella. I know you want to trust your instincts, but we need to trust her....I promise you. I will not let anything happen to her"
He walked over towards Bella, knowing that Renesmee was fast, but would not be as fast as a full fledged vampire, but he would always her. They would always find her. He took Bella's hand into his.
"I promise you *he kissed her forehead softly* Now let's go, we should catch her up *he chuckled*

-she was bounding through the woods, laughing softly as she passed by butterflies and birds and other numerous wildlife that were milling about. She stopped to stare at a deer, ignoring the slight burning in her throat as she watched with wonder. It bothered her, at times, that she liked blood more than she liked human food, especially at times like this when she was alone with that animal and could see the grace with which it moved.-
-she slowly moved forward, her hand outreached towards it as it stared at her- Hi there, little guy..... You're a pretty deer, very pretty..... -she got so close she almost touched it when she heard something farther away, rustling the leaves that had fallen in the night. The deer froze and stared at her, making her heart ache- Go little deer, run!! -she shook her arms at it and felt a moments delight when it took off. She grinned then, and took off towards the sound she had heard before. A mountain lion, her daddy's favorite-

Bella listened to his conclusions and nodded, he was right. "You're right..." She said as they both sped out of the house. She caught Renesmee's scent in the wind, following the trail her little feet made. Grinning as she listened to her sing songy voice speak to a deer. Such a compassionate child.
Her feet pattered along the forest floor as she headed East. She gave a look to Edward as they followed a few feet behind. Allowing her space, but keeping enough distance to intervene if needed. Climbing a tree just above the mountain lion as they stood on the large limb in silence watching their little girl. She looked to Edward and whispered. "This must be how you felt watching my first hunt." She said with a grin, at the memories of that day.

Renesmee's scent was so much similar to Bella's, but had a strong hint of lemons he concluded. As he and Bella followed her scent and stopped by a large tree and climbed out of view so that Nessie could have her space, but them both prepared to jump in if she struggled with the mountain lion, his favorite. And from what he could see it was quite a large lion for this area, but he had faith that if she was anything like her mother she would be able to handle almost anything.
He turned to look at Bella and leaned into whisper in her ear as not to disturb Nessie and her hunt.
"It was...and look how you did. Perfect. As she will do. Trust me.....Trust her"
He smiled as he turned to glance back at the mountain lion, he had faith in his daughter, but yet there was still the twinge of worry inside him.

-she slowly walked around, moving so quickly that the beast couldn't see her, didn't even know she was there. She giggled quietly, having so much fun playing this game, the hunter becoming the hunted. She heard a soft rustling in the trees and knew it was her parents come to watch her and she knew she would make them proud.-
-her hands curled into small claws, her teeth bared, she shot forward and jumped to land on the back of the lion, sinking her teeth into its neck flawlessly and managing to not spill a single drop-

She nodded as she grasped his hand in hers, watching below as Renesmee gracefully played, but hunted at the same time. She smiled at her giggle, watching her enjoy herself. Her eyes darting from the lion to her daughter, waiting anxiously. The lion never saw her coming as she flew through the air like an acrobat and landed gracefully on the lions back. Before the lion could think to move, her head dipped down and bit its neck, immobilizing him.
She gasped and looked at Edward. "Did she...she just...*small gasp* she did it!" The widest, proudest smile crossed her lips. Her daughter, a natural.
Bella jumped from the limb, watching as Renesmee sat drinking from the animal. "And not a drop spilled." She said as she looked up at Edward while she squat by the deceased animal and her daughter.

Her fine hunter's skills shocked him profoundly as she acted out of pure instinct as she lunged at the mountain lion with ease as she sank her teeth into the jugular, draining the life out of it, not letting a single drop go to waste. It made him proud to know that was able to take care of herself during a hunt.
The gasp from Bella's lips brought a smile to his face as he watched her descend from the tree as he proceeded to follow after her. He landed with a thump on the dirt and watched as his daughter continued to feed, it should have disturbed him to watch this as it did with Bella's first hunt, but it all seemed so natural for him.
"I am so proud of you Renesmee"
He wrapped his arm around Bella's waist as his daughter giggled as she continued too feed. Now if this wasn't a perfect family moment. What was?

-she giggled again and looked up at her parents, wiping at her mouth slowly after she ate her fill- Did I do good? -she had never taken down anything bigger than a bunny before, but now..... Now she felt strong enough to crush a rock with her fingers, just like her mama had only a few weeks ago. Smiling at them, she walked over and wrapped her arms around her Daddy's legs and smiled up at the two of them- I want to see you two hunt now. I'll be good, I promise. -she put a finger to her lips, kissed one of her daddy's legs, then one of her mama's before taking off and climbing the nearest tree. She would swing from each limb, keeping pace with her parents, but safe from scaring anything off.- Just don't hurt the deer!! -she called softy with a giggle-

Bella smiled as Renesmee took off into the trees. Looking at Edward she smiled, "Lions...elks or bears, oh my!" She laughed as she sped off to find an animal to hunt, trying to avoid deer. Stopping just short of the river, she could hear the lapping tongues drinking. The heart that beat, spreading warm blood through its veins. Never had she thought of an animal like this. Pure instinct.
Her footsteps were barely heard as she padded closer to the animal, who had its back to her. The thud of its heart in rhythm with its lapping tongue as she smiled, knowing Edward and Renesmee were watching. Edward's eyes still golden as he didn't need to feed quite as often as his wife and daughter.
With the blink of an eye she sped behind the animal and with a quick motion flicking her wrist she snapped its neck before biting down on its neck and sucking the blood from its veins. As it entered her mouth, the warmth slid down her throat eliminating the burn.
Edward smiled as Nessie giggled from the trees. As she felt the burn in her throat subside she pushed the dead elk to the side and stood, not a drop spilled on her clothes or face, which was different than her first hunt. Renesmee jumped down and grabbed a hand from each of her parents, standing in between them as they headed to the main house to spend the day.
