Chapter 3: The shadow 

James turned-up to school late one Friday morning and noticed Bella stood all alone by her locker.

He was looking at her wondering where Edward had gone before he thought any longer he caught a whiff of her scent, the sweet aroma filled his mouth but he was able to restrain himself as the pull for her blood wasn't as strong as before.

James quickly walked into the boys toilets and slammed his fists on the sink causing the sink to rip off the wall, as quick as a flash he flew out of the toilet and out of the school grounds into the woods.

He tracked down something very familiar like he had smelt it somewhere before which seemed very strange to him. He continued on further into the woods and the scent started getting stronger the further he went.

It infuriated him so much that he couldn't recognise it even though the scent had some familiarity. It had never happened to him before but he would not give up. He was so fixed on this scent he hadn't noticed someone was watching his every move.

James was tracking this same scent all over the woods, but eventually he became very thirsty he drank some poor lowlife's blood and drained him dry and then just as he finished he suddenly caught the scent again he turned around and noticed a big shadow behind the trees.

Day after day, night after night James searched all over the woods high and low but could not find anything except big shadows everywhere.

Then one day he found a pair of three quarter length jeans on the ground and the scent came flooding back just like the first time he caught it. He lifted the jeans to his nose and breathed deep.

While he was distracted something crept up very slowly from behind him and attacked him knocking James out cold.
