This is another old story, hence the fact that it is written in 1st POV. I wrote it when I first saw Firebreather. Enjoy!

Edward's POV

I stopped in the rafters, frozen in shock. James had just swung at Bella. She stopped his blow with her arm. How was that possible? The bones in her arm should have shattered on contact

"Renee was never here, was she?" Bella sighed, looking around.

James stepped back, just as shocked as I was.

"How… what are you?" he demanded.

"You wanted me here without Edward" Bella told him. "That's why you told me that you had Renee hostage."

"And it worked" James grinned. "You came alone."

A grin spread across Bella's face. "I guess you're one of those types, aren't you? The only way to stop you is to kill you."

"And you'll never get close!" he roared as he charged.

I watched, frozen in shock, my eyes wide in awe. Bella killed a vampire who was easily stronger than Emmett, the strongest in my family. Then, fire came from her mouth. It didn't touch the wooden floors; rather incinerated the vampire's mangled body in mid-air.

"You would have had better luck if it were one of the Cullens" Bella sighed, walking out the door.

"You did well, Isabella" a low voice growled from the storm-drains beside Bella. "You fight like a true warrior."

"I am nothing like you" Bella spat.

"You fought him so your adopted family wouldn't. Do you think I fight for only myself?"

"You never fought for my mother or my brother" Bella snarled, her mouth glowing with flames. "You left me alone in some orphanage."

"I left to protect you all. Your brother understands that, why don't you?"

"You left Duncan with my mother, but took me and then abandoned me with some stranger." Bella hissed. "Forgive me if I'm not as forgiving as my little brother."

"I wanted to raise you myself, but I couldn't! I'm a Kaiju. You were still a child. You were still too fragile."

"Then why not take me to my mother?" Bella demanded. "Why leave me with some ignorant human who wouldn't know how to handle a freak?"

"What are you planning to do now? Do you plan on keeping this from those vampires forever? I've already told you that it's impossible to change. Their teeth cannot get through your skin."

"I'll think of something" Bella grumbled.

"You're not going to tell them?"

"No."

"You're making a mistake."

"I'm taking after my old man."

"You're worse than your mother, ya know that?"

"Considering I just met her for the first time last year" Bella shot back.

She walked away and got about a block before Alice and Jasper got to her. I showed up then, deciding to pretend like I hadn't seen anything. She would tell me in her own time.

I kept my arms wrapped around her as the others searched for any traces of James. They found none. A few times, I wanted to lock them all out of the apartment. Whenever she looked like she was about to tell me something, she was interrupted by one of them.
