Elizabeth

It was the first day of college for Edward, Jasper, Alice and me. Emmett and Rosalie weren't coming because they wanted to play parent for Renesmee. I wouldn't have minded parenting, but Nessie insisted on making us go to college.

Renesmee had stopped aging a few months ago and was starting high school. Edward and I had asked her whether she would like her parents being there or if she wanted to start school alone. Of course being a teenager, she said she would go alone. With nothing better to do, all of us went to college.

For most classes I had Edward and sometimes Alice or Jasper in others. Nothing interesting went on throughout the day until our last class. This was the only class I had all of them with me, but Alice couldn't stand another moment in the school. She would run all the way home if it meant getting away from this school. She would much rather go to designer school.

I went after her to tell her to try and check on Nessie then report back. Before I followed Alice outside, I told Edward and Jasper to on without me, I would join them soon enough. As I walked back inside, I heard Edward and Jasper talking. I didn't think it would be that bad to eavesdrop.

Edward groaned. And said something that caught me off gaurd. "That girl ... Elizabeth Patricks ... wants to come over here. And talk."

I felt a pang of jealousy. Then I heard Jasper chuckle and Edward say his name angrily. I knew what had happened. Jasper gave the girl courage to talk with Edward.

I could hear light footsteps approach them. Curse Jasper. After school he would have a lot to explain.

The girl talked. "Hi I'm Elizabeth. Your name is...?" she sounded confident. Then I heard Edward's chair squeak on the floor as he tried to get away.

"Edward" he said in a straight voice.

"Edward" she repeated in a lustful tone.

That made me snap. I started to walk faster reminding myself not to run at vampire speed.

When I saw her, I grimaced. She was sitting on Edward's lap looking smug. Jasper who was on the other side of Edward looked like he would burst laughing. And Edward looked very uncomfortable with her on his lap and relieved when he saw me.

I saw one seat next to Edward and knew if I didn't take it soon, she would take it. I almost sprinted to where Edward was sitting. I sat down next to him just as that girl was going to.

"Excuse me? I was going to sit there." Elizabeth said looking straight at me.

"You're excused. There are other seats over there." I said pointing my finger far away. " Hi, Edward."

She looked at Edward as a smile spread on his face. "Bella" he said my name full lust hoping the girl would notice.

The girl walked off giving me a death glare.

I opened my thoughts to Edward. So what do you think about her.

He shrugged.

Well is she still hoping for a chance at you.

He nodded.

Then we'll have to fix that.

He looked at me with a confused look as I closed my thoughts.

"You'll see" I said.

Halfway through class I looked at Elizabeth. She was glaring at me in hatred and staring at Edward in lust. I would have a little part of my plan take place. I let my head rest in front of Edward and let out a fake yawn.

Would you believe me if I said I was tired, I asked through my thoughts at Edward.

He started brushing his fingers through my hair. "No" he breathed so low no human could have heard.

So how does she feel now? I asked as Edward put his lips to my cheek.

"Jealous. She thought we had something together." He said as he rolled his eyes.

" Good that buys me a few more seconds," I said.

"Seconds?" he asked

"For a kiss after school. She'll have to give up after that." I said confident in my words.

As class ended, I saw as Elizabeth got up that she was determined to talk to Edward. My Edward.

I motioned for Edward to get up and he followed. We didn't walk hand in hand because I wanted the kiss to hurt her more. She was following us.

When Elizabeth was close enough to see us and we were next to our car, I turned to Edward. I put my hand in his and stared into his golden eyes. I leaned forward to kiss as he bent down to kiss me.
Our lips were soon together and I didn't want to stop. But I had to remind myself if I got too into the moment I was surely to burst and want more. I pulled away and stared back from Edward to Elizabeth. My plan worked. She looked full of anger and defeat, but behind all that there was something more... hope?

I turned to Edward. How'd she take it? I asked silently.

"Bad. Most hope is lost. Which is too bad because I wanted a few more excuses to kiss you in public. Tell everyone you're mine" he said. I rolled my eyes.

As we got into the car, I realized I had not gotten Jasper for what he had done.

"If you don't mind Edward. I want to chase Jasper around until he tells me why he gave courage to Elizabeth." I said to Edward as I started walking toward Jasper. "This should be done fast so please go home." Jasper no doubt heard everything.

He was about to get in his car when I called him. "Jasper, you have a three second head start starting now."

"Come on Bells, can't you take a joke" he said laughing.

"One..." with that he took off running at human pace to the woods.

I ran after him in the same pace until I reached the woods. I took off high speed to catch Jasper. I knew I was faster than him because Edward had been training me. As I was only a few yards away from Jasper, I heard and smelt it.

But Elizabeth had other plans for me. Elizabeth was trying to catch Edward in the car. She probably noted I wasn't there. She was going to make her move. I needed a car to catch up because it would be too weird running next to her car. Suddenly I remembered Jasper's car. I felt he had stopped running away and was within hearing distance. He owed me so I decided to take his car.

"Jasper. I'll stop chasing you, but I need your car. Thanks for letting me borrow it." I said to him as I ran back to the parking lot.

I was there to the parking lot soon enough. I got in Jasper's car and hot wired it something I had learned from Alice. I raced to where I had smelled Elizabeth following Edward. Once I was only a few miles away, I talked to Edward.

Edward, I thought lifting my shield, Once you see Jasper's car go into a clearing where I can talk to Elizabeth.

I closed my thoughts as the silver Volvo came into view. The car slowly turned to a dirt road and a Chevy followed it. Elizabeth. I drove into the road to find both cars had stopped in a clearing. Edward got out of the car around the same Elizabeth did.

"Hi" Elizabeth said in a flirty smile. Edward only nodded his head as Jasper's car came in view. I saw Elizabeth gasp. I came out of the car with no regret for what I was about to do. We were going to have a talk. Me and Elizabeth.

"Who do think you are?" I asked angrily as I slammed the door of the car and was heading toward her. The windshield broke. Great. "Do you feel you have a claim to my husband? Are intentionally trying to piss me off? I should rip you head off for trying to make him yours while he's mine."

"Bella calm down" Edward said as he was next to me trying to calm me. "No need to do anything rash." Oh, how much I wanted to do something rash.

I saw Elizabeth's face. I was full of anger. "He loves me" Elizabeth said simply and confidently. How much I wanted to destroy her at that moment and looked up at Edward's confused face. Then I got the feeling that I was being attacked by a great power trying to get trough my shield. I felt Edward stiffen after hearing her thoughts. I knew in that moment that Elizabeth was not human. She looked and smelled like a human, but I knew she was not. She was more. I could tell she wasn't a vampire, werewolf, or human, but she was something.

"What are you?" I found myself saying. She took a step back because I knew her secret. "I know you're not human. Tell me what you are."

"I...I um." she stammered. I knew Edward knew so I looked at him.

"She's a witch, Bella," he said while looking down at me. His eyes full of information I desperately wanted to know. Suddenly, he was stiff again. I wondered what was wrong when Elizabeth said something.

"He's right" she said simply, but her eyes were full off fear. "My only question is what you are."

I looked at Edward worried. Then looked back at Elizabeth who was staring at Edward with longing eyes. "He's mine" I spat as Elizabeth's eyes fell on mine.

"I know" she said. "Just thinking of possibilities." She sighed.

I stood there motionless. "If you knew then why'd you try?" I asked more angrily than I would have liked.

"I didn't know it was true love. No spell of any sort can break true love, not even a love spell." She breathed. "Please answer my question. What are you?"

"You put a love spell on my husband?" I asked, my words full of acid. "How dare you? Trying to take someone who clearly does not belong to you. You're a sick person. I can take witch; I bet some witches are even nice. But you, no you are-"

Edward cut me short. "Bella,love, calm down. I know you're mad, but no harm was done. Please try to look past it."

I took a deep breath and tried to relax. Edward looked into my eyes and smiled. "We're vampires," he said as he looked up at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's eyes widened. "You're... vampires." she said as she took a step back in fear.

I nodded my head then rolled my eyes. "If we wanted to kill you we would have done it by now. But then again I'm still debating about letting you live after the hole flirting-with-my-husband thing. I think I can let it slide." I chuckled.

Her features changed from fear to confusion. "You aren't mad for what my kind does to yours?" she asked.

"You punish vampires for killing human life. You have no reason to kill us and what you did to others was the result of their actions." Edward said with a composed face. "We do not hunt humans because we don't want to be monsters. We hunt animals to stay alive."
