Chapter 1

I received a letter from my clansman and oldest friend, Connor MacLeod, saying that he heard of a head hunter that has found where I've been hiding and is coming after me. After reading it I decided instead of running like last time I would stand and fight him to the death like a true Highlander would. The only problem would be getting past Alice and her visions then getting past the wolf pack that were always on patrol around my house. The other option would be to let them follow me to the fight and discover the secret themselves but that would be a lot of explaining to do still. I thought about it for about an hour and decided to let them follow me thinking that I was in trouble and see me fight the head hunter. I would let Alice see two out comes; one involving me being beheaded, the other being the Cullens and Pack showing up and the Hunter running away in fear of them. I left and waited until I was halfway to Port Angelus before I let her see the visions. She called me a few minutes later but I pretended not to hear it and it went to voicemail.

When I entered the Port I felt the presence of four Highlanders along with the energy of the Cullens and pack getting closer. I walked to an abandoned warehouse and a hand grabbed my arm in a familial way but I still pulled my dagger and nearly slit his throat until I noticed it was my clansman Duncan MacLeod ready to battle with me.

"I hope the Head Hunter is not you Duncan."

"Now why would I try to kill my sister, besides, I would go for Connor first not you. I'm here to help ya because two on one are not good odds even for a MacLeod."

"True and to warn you we'll have an audience because my 'protectors' think I'm in danger so they followed me and are not too far behind." Duncan nodded and I saw the hunters' shadows in the warehouse so we drew our swords to start the fight.

"Arabelle and Duncan of the Clan MacLeod, what a pleasant surprise this is," a familiar voice laughed darkly.

"Horvan Kant," I sneered and then looked over to his partner, "and Tyler King."

"I should've known that you two would be the ones coming after my sister, good thing I decided to come and help when I did," Duncan said with a glare.

"Let's just get this over with, I'm tired and hungry," Tyler complained as he drew his sword as well followed by Horvan. Tyler was the first to lunge and he went straight for me, I blocked him easily and began to fight back. I knew that I was going to walk away with a lot of cuts but I didn't care as long as I walked away with my head attached to my body.

Swing, block, kick, swing, energy blast, I fly backwards, block kick, swing, cut, cut, cut, block, hit on head, behead, win...

I was gasping for breath then the lightning from Tyler's life force struck me and I saw all of his thoughts and memories from when he was born, reborn and death today. I fell to the ground breathing harder as they faded into my memories. Duncan finished his fight at the same time as I did so we looked at each other. I looked over him quickly and saw his right leg was broken and trying to heal so I had to reset it fast; his left arm was bleeding but that would stop in a few minutes.

"Okay Duncan I need you to sit down and stay still; I need to reset your leg so it'll heal like it's supposed to. Can you do that or do I need to knock you out like I did with Connor?" He sat on the ground and looked relaxed until I touched his leg, I quickly broke it again and reset it; luckily we were in an abandoned building or someone would've come in here and we would be arrested. I pulled out my phone and called a clean-up crew to get rid of the bodies, they would be there in three minutes.

"I'm taking you back to the house so Charles can finish the assessment of your injuries."

"Okay but can we 'plane because I tired and I need rest." I nodded and helped him to his feet. I started to walk while thinking of Charles' living room and we were there in less than three seconds. I also made sure that Alice saw that I would be coming back for my car and his bike so they would wait.

"I see it went well," Charles said with a smile on his face, "hello Duncan how have you been?"

"Been worse but right now I'm tired and need sleep but my lovely sister say that ya have to look me over first."

"Don't complain brother; just let 'im check ya and ya can go to sleep. Now I have to get my truck and your bike, see you in two hours." I said teleporting back to the sight which was now being cleaned so I got out of their way. Duncan's bike was parked next to my truck so I didn't have to search for it luckily. I could feel that I was being watched so I drew my sword as a ruse; I knew it was the Cullens, Jake, Paul and Jared.

"You might as well come out and surrender then I might think about letting you live for following me," I said looking where they were hiding. They came out and I put away my sword just as Michal McCullum came out of the building.

"Everything is cleaned Ms. MacLeod," he said bowing his head then he disappeared into the night. I was then bombarded with questions.

What is going on, Bella? Why did he call you Ms. MacLeod? Why did you kill that guy and look like it was nothing? When and how did you learn how to fight like that? Have you been keeping secrets form us? When were you going to tell us? I had to hold up my hand to stop the questions.

"I will explain everything tomorrow in the clearing but right now I have to get home and start making some phone calls for the deaths of those two men. Be there when the moon is highest in the sky and everything will be revealed." Emmett put the bike in my truck then I drove off toward Forks.
