Trying To Prove Myself[Emmett]

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena smiled as she woke up that morning. She decided that today, she would prove herself to her father. She walked to her wardrobe and dressed in a pair of jeans that hugged her curves, and slipped on a pair of socks and her boots that didn't have a heel on them. She put on a simple t-shirt that hugged her curves as well.

She pulled her hair back to keep it out of her face. She went down into the living room and found a piece of paper and a pen. She wrote her father a note. Dad, I went to try hunting by myself. Find me. I'll be in the forest. Love, Little S She smiled and left the note on the table and walked out. She then took off running.

She soon found herself deep in the forest and she lurked along. She didn't find anything, when all of a sudden she was found. A big black grizzly bear had found her. It swung its paw hitting her and making her fly halfway across the forest floor. It pounded over to her and roared. It bent down as if to harm her. She screamed so loud. She knew he would hear her. She tried struggling against the bear, but found it to be no use.

Emmett was in the garage messing with Carilise car giving it a usuall check out as well as boosting up a few things a bit of a nice surprise for Carilise. He smiled closing the hod he usually did not mess to much with car only this jeep but it would not hurt. He grabbed a rag wiping his hand walking inside. "Serena!" He was wiping the last of the grease off planning on taking Serena out for a bit of a surprise in town. But her go no reply he looked around a piece of paper on the table he saw it and with in an instant he was out the door and into the forrest following her scent. They where definitely going to have a talk about this when he found her she should know better then this. But then he heard her scream and he ran straight in the direction of it. Her and danger she had a knack for getting into it it seemed. It did not take him long to find himself deep in the forrest his eyes landed on a bear standing over Serena. "Serena...." he simply shook his head as he lept into action landing on the bears back arms quickly wraping around it's neck jerking it to the side to throw it off balance and to get it away from Serena. He saw a paw come at him but her moved off the bear dodgeing the attack. He smirked as the bear came at him gald it was attacking him now and not his precious daughter. "Serena TREES!" he said his voice he was not playing around he wanted her up out of the way so she could not get hurt. The bear lunged at him pileing on top of him but Emmett was ready for him taking shot at it he had to get a clear shot at the neck to break and he would be good.

Serena just had a slight tendency to get herself into trouble it seemed when she was alone by herself. She knew she should have asked her father to come, really she did, but all she wanted to do was prove herself to him. She didn't know why, but she felt she needed to. She didn't know if it was just because she was a newborn, or if she felt inept underneath her father, or what. She just felt the need to show him what she could do. Unfortunately, today wasn't that day.

In one moment, she braced herself for the impact of the bear hitting her, and then as she looked up she saw him. Her father. She saw him block the attack and her eyes filled with complete fear and shock. SHe whimpered a little and then saw her attacker charge at her father. SHe gasped for fear of his safety and then remembered what her mother told her the other day. You should watch your father wrestle a bear. It's pretty exciting.

She snapped out of her reverie when she heard her father yell for her to get to the trees. She obliged and climbed a tree quickly and watched her father. She wrapped her arms around the tree hugging it, and she began crying. She didn't know what her father would say. To say the least, she now felt ashamed and embarrassed that she had tried to do this on her own. She should have known that she wouldn't have been able to overpower the bear. She wracked her body with tearless sobs.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett could not believe he was reliving so many memories at this moment his death, the first bear he fought, when he wrestled one for Rosalie. Emmett liked hunting bears there wa slaways a challenge but at the moment he wanted to finish him off and make sure Serena was okay. Hesmashed a fist into the bears fist throwing if off giving him enough time to escape from underneath it. He glanced over glad to see Serena had move from where she was to the tree like he had told her. The bear came at him but emmett ran forward his feet hitting up againt a tree as he flipped of it landing behind the bear. He jumped on it's back for the second time diring this fight. His arms wraping around it's neck his hand connecting he held on tight his grasp tightening. The bear swing it's arms back at him but Emmett hand no intention of letting go at this point. The bear fell back probably from lack of air yes it was landing on top of Emmett but he took the chance to give his arms a jerk. The bear laid the motionless ontop of him Emmett to a moment before letting go and using his strength to shove it off from on top of him. "Serena...come." he said softly knowing she would hear him. He brushed off his clothes. He turned looking to the creature laying on the ground the bear was dead and she was safe.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Still wracking her body with dry tearless sobs, she let go of the tree. SHe heard her father call her and she jumped lightly from the tree. She kept her head bent down and barrelled herself at him crashing into his chest. She buried her face in his chest and sobbed even more. SHe didn't know what he would do. She didn't even know why she had come out here all alone, by herself with no protection. She knew she should have, but she had this feeling. She was getting tired of being under protection all the time.

She pulled away from her father and kept her head bent down and wrapped her arms around her stomach her body still wracking with dry tearless sobs. She was now full of fear and embarrassment. She felt fear at what her father would say about her actions. She felt embarrassed. Embarrassed that she even had the nerve to come out here alone. She was now wishing that she hadn't. SHe whimpered into her sobs and sobbed even more.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett put an arm her when she buried her face in his chest. He comforted her he knew she had been scared he had been as well though he was not one to admit it. His dimly golden eyes took in her appreance making sure she had not been hurt in anyway. He pale skin did not show any mark but that did not mean anything first things first. "Are you okay?" he asked softly his arm loosening around her as he dragged his eyes to the bear.

He shook his head softly. "You scared me....What were you thinking" he said his voice calm but the way he puntuated certain words said how upset he truely was. "You should have told me not left a note for me to find." he said not even wanting to think about it would just upset his and anger him even more then nesscary. He was going to handle this rashinally and not scared Serena more then she already was.

"Do you know what would have happened it I had found that note even a minute later." he said just wanting her to understand what he had gone through. She needed to learn to hunt alone even though there coven rarely did but if something ever came up it would be a skill to learn but you just did not go off and do it. It was a trial and error you had to be aware of your surroundings at all time and as a newborn that was not the most easiest thing easily getting lost in things.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena sighed trying to calm herself down. She heard him ask if she was okay and she nodded feebly her body still wracking with tears. The way he punctuated his words hit her hard. She knew he was upset with her and her actions. She should have been more aware of her surroundings, but she was still a newborn. She couldn't tell the different ways to tell apart different animals. She just wasn't that skilled yet. She should have known better than that.

She should have told him where she was going, instead of leaving him a note for God's sake. She looked back up at him with apology in them. "I'm sorry. I-I um, I just wanted to try and prove myself. That's what I was thinking when I wrote you the note. I honestly didn't think I would run into a bear." SHe looked at the ground embarrassed.

She wanted to learn to hunt on her own, but at the same time wanted to prove herself to her father most of all. She felt that if she didn't, she would feel left out and alone. She didn't need that feeling of abandonment and loneliness. Not again. She shifted her eyes back and forth and waited for it to sink in.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett kept his cool as he listened to his daughter explanation. He was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt but he was still upset with her. She was young and did not understand things yet not even her own powers it seemed. But she was a newborn after all he could not be upset with her for that but as for common sense...That was another story completely. Emmett was not going to simply let this go he would have to have a talk with Rosalie, Serena's mother as well.

Emmett let out a sigh looking down at Serena. "How can you prove yourself if I don't see you do it...You ahve so much to learn Serena." he said it was true but he had to help teach he as well he knew that. "You could have ran into something much worse then a bear a not so friendly vampire, not everyone is like us." he said kneeling down so he could see eye to eye with her. He took in her expression knowing she had been through quite a bit today.

"I know you want to prove yourself but you have to use your common sense first." he said softly knowledge was something that was useful to all vampires. He cared for her greatly and was glad to see her in one piece that was more then he could say for the bear. He glanced over at it knowing he could not leave out here in the open. But he would take care of it later right now he was still talking to his daughter hoping she understood what he was trying to convey to her.

[serena alexandra cullen]

She heard what he was saying and she looked into his eyes and watched as he kneeled down in front of her. She smiled slightly, she realized when he was kneeling in front of her like this, she was as tall as he was on his knees. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face, hiding it from him in the crook of his neck. She never wanted to let go. SHe was still shook up from when the bear had attacked her. Her body wracked with a few more dry tears and she whimpered quietly.

She needed him to understand why she was whimpering. SHe really was his little princess. She knew that if anything happened to her, he would be heartbroken. "I'm sorry" She whispered and just wanted him to carry her. She was still upset with herself. She actually needed to talk to him about something in particular. SHe needed to tell him about her incident in school the other day. She hadn't gone to school for a week now.

She was very careful not to think about it in her head, for fear Edward would hear her and tell her parents. SHe really didn't need that grief right now. She pulled away from and smiled but her eyes were still full of complete sadness. "Dad, um, I haven't been going to school for a week now."[/color] She said and blew out a breath of air and looked down at the ground obviously upset with herself.

[emmett dale cullen]

"It's okay"Emmet hugged his daughter back tightly he loved her dearly nothing changed that no stunt would that was for sure it probably would only grow. He looked at her curiously as she gave him a new piece of information to take in. He stay silent taking a few moment to process it. He stood up taking a step back from Serena he was not angry his expression was a plain one if anything else.

"I would ask wahy but I have a feeling it's not a simple cause I don't want to" he said at least he hoped not school was something she need to go to she was still young and needed to aquire knowledge. "Is it the other student?" he asked curiously looking down at her his hands going into his pockets. Only glancing down a hole catching his eye he must of gotten it fighting the bear oh well he had plenty more pairs where this one came from no worries really.

Emmett looked back to Serena waiting for an answer. "You can tell me anything." he had a feeling he knew what it was but he would wait to here her explanation. He was glad she had told him instead of keeping it a secret. He wished he would have known sooner then a week he wonder what she had done instead of school but he would ask that question later it was not the most important thing at the moment.

[serena alexandra cullen]

"Well, dad, I couldn't handle the smell of them. Their sweet scent overpowered me on my first day there, and I needed to leave. It's why I haven't been at school all week. I hate their smell, it makes me feel too overpowered Dad." She huffed out a sigh and looked sharply to the right. SHe growled and ran off in the direction of the smell. She hid behind a tree and saw a mountain lion. She grinned hungrily and snuck up behind it.

Gracefully she jumped and pounced on it. She felt it wriggling beneath her and grinning wickedly, she reached her hands around it's throat and twisted it sharply breaking its connection with the world. SHe bit down on it neck feeding slowly. She drained it of its blood that flowed throughout it and tossed the carcass aside. She saw her father looking at her.

"What? Oh, wait you've never seen me hunt before have you dad?" She sensed something bigger behind her and she looked around seeing another bear, she assumed it was the other bears mate. She sreamed and ran away hiding behind her father. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close trying to calm herself down.

[emmett dale cullen]

It was exactly as Emmett had figured he knew that might be an issue. Her and Uncle Jasper would get along just fine at the moment it would seem. He was glad she loathes the smell then inticed by it he would hate for there to be an accident at school with other people around. they did not need a massacre of blood they were doing quite well in Forks right now keeping there profile down. Even with there large coven size. You would think the lose of animals would do some damage but it seemed to be a season for love.

They had yet to hit an issue there and if they did it was called expand there hunting ground. After all they could travel rather quickly on foot. He smirked to himself but watched her attack a moutain lion. He had never seen her feed boefore it was curious. He saw her in a whole new sense...a hunter, a killer...of animals of course. He looked to the dead bear not wanting it to go to waste her bared it's neck briefly feeding what he needed from it he knew it was not fresh and warm it had time to...well die. But he pulled away from it feeling Serenas arm around him.

He felt the presnece of another bear her put his amrs around Serena and shot up into a tree setting her on a branch he stood next to her looking down at the forrest floor. "Do we need two dead bears?" he said wanting to let the second one go on it's merry way it was not like ti would follow them home if it did it would have more then two vampires to deal with.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena felt her father wrap his arms around her and shoot up into a tree and set her on a branch. She nodded letting his words sink in. "No, we don't really need two dead bears in one day. She had just discovered her powers recently but hadn't told her father yet. She smirked. "Hey Dad, see if you can catch me. She let go of him and disappeared. Still invisible, she ended up on the ground again. She smiled waiting to see if her father could figure it out.

She crossed her arms and just watched him. She walked over to the tree and leaned against it smiling. She looked around hummed a tune in her head. It was Live to Party by Jonas Brothers. SHe tapped her foot and sighed a quiet breath.

She saw and heard her father and smiled. She wanted to see what he would do once she reappeared again. She ran a hand through her golden locks and sighed in satisfaction. She loved her father so much. SHe really did feel bad about scaring him though. She wanted to make it up to him.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett watched the other bear closely for a moment it would not be an issue. They were safe in the tree and could easily get back home through them. He watched it barrell away from them into the safety of his trees. He gave Serena a curious look at her words and she literally disappered beofre his eyes. Emmett stood there for a moment trying to figutre out what had just happened. If she wanted to play tag again he was fine with it. But from the looks of it he would have trouble finding her.

Emmett scratched his head before simply shrugging is shoulders. "I can still find you...." he said with a smile she still had a scent after all. He glanced around taking a good whiffed of the air beofre for jumping off the branch falling gracefully to the forrest floor. He landed with out making a sound really. He newly golden eyes took in his surrondings as he follow Serenas scent. "Serena?" he said comeing close to the tree he was just up.

"Time to reappear and let Dad in on your bag of tricks." Could she possible have an ability? This definietly would be a useful one for her at least. Emmett stood up straight grinning proudly at himself. "I know I'm close" he said loudly knowing he was cause of how strong her scent was to him. He knew it well and was sure he was not mistaken

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena laughed inwardly and watched as her father landed gracefully on the forest floor without making so much of a noise. SHe watched his eyes flicker around trying to find her. SHe heard hi msay that he was close, and he was. She had forgotten about her scent the moment she disappeared, and smiled looking up at him still invisible. She wlaked aorund behind him and jumped reappearing on his back. "Here I am Dad." She grinned at her father and kissed his cheek.

She hopped off his back but found she couldn't, feeling a strength on her legs holding her there. She squealed trying to get free. "Let me go Dad!" SHe laughed and felt herself being twisted around to the front and she gasped from the sudden movement. SHe squealed feeling hands on her waist.

SHe kicked her legs laughing. "Stop...tickling...Me!" SHe squealed for what seemed like the thousandth time that day. SHe twisted wanting to be let down. If she had still been human, her face would have turned a bright red color from laughing so much.
