"I Fuckin' told you. You absolute bastard." She snarled at him before her bandaged fist collided with his face.

Crunch!

He was sent flying several feet before he fell to the floor with a thud that shook the house causing dust to dislodge from the rafters and the lights to shake.

Rudi shook her hand obviously from the discomfort of hitting a vampire with her injured hand nonetheless before, flexing her fingers.

"Fuckin' Bastard." She muttered darkly under her breath as she turned away. Seemingly unaware of Edward who with injured pride lunged at her. Only to miss, sailing through the air where she'd just been and crashing into the oak dining room table causing it to splinter and collapse from the force.

"You mother fucker! That's it! You, me outside right now!" she yelled angrily. The others began to move outside at Elizahbeth's motion albeit reluctantly. Jasper was flummoxed as he followed the others. The emotions flowing round were enough to give him a migraine if vampires could get migraines. Confusion, Worry, Wonder. And an anger that sent him reeling back to Maria.

"Rudi, Language." Elizahbeth tried to scold her, as they moved away from the house.

"Like I give a shit Elizah. I won't let that bastard get away with insulting me or my guest in my own fucking home! Who the fuck does he think he is? He need to fuckin' learn that if you mess with fire he'll end up as a pile of smouldering ash!" Rudi shouted in return, fists clenched at her sides.

Everyone, including Edward who had been led out by a worried Alice, stood in a large circle. Rudi took up a basic stance in front of Jasper while Edward stood across from her. The vampires began to speak all at once.

"Now, do try not to kill each other".

"I must protest, she's only human Elizah".

"I dunno, she seemed okay after punching him."

"Get her hunny!".

"Be careful!"

Their voices overlapping.

"Hey, Jasper? Anything I should know about Eddy?" She asked over her shoulder, blind eyes not leaving her opponent.

"Telepath." He replied simply. "Good Luck." He added for good measure, he didn't know why but, the idea of Rudi getting hurt didn't sit right with him. She smirked.

"Thanks but, luck is for weaklings." She replied with an easy confidence. Edward snarled and pounced, only to once again meet thin air.

"How are you doing this!?" Edward demanded angrily. "I'm a vampire!"

Rudi appeared behind him. "No shit Sherlock. Poor baby doesn't like the itty bitty blind girl kicking his sparkly ass?" She goaded before turning to kick him with a well-timed roundhouse. His body flew from the impact into a pine tree causing it to quake and most of its needles to fall to the floor with a quiet hush.

It started to rain again. Almost as if the weather was somehow mimicking the rising tensions between the two. Rudi was practically vibrating from the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Her eyes were shining. Almost glowing and eerie red. Strange. Suddenly, thunder roared from the crux of two dismal clouds as she laughed harshly. Hysterically. Jasper wondered if anyone else saw the crazed smile. The emotions were practically suffocating, so thick and vibrant. Anger, pure unadulterated. Bloodlust, desperate and longing set off the scratch in Jaspers throat. And something else. Something strange. Chaotic almost, Conflicting within itself as if undecided. It felt foreign. Jasper shook his head to refocus upon the fighting.

Edward had now disappeared behind the tree line trying to catch her off guard. She closed her eyes. And ducked. No sooner had she done so, Edward was above her snarling. Then, as if in slow motion but, actually simply faster than human comprehension. Her foot collided with his chin jerking his body away as her hands locked his left arm into a harsh grip and pulled.

Riiiip. The sound of breaking concrete and Alice's screaming merged together filling the once silent air.

Rudi stood triumphant holding Edwards left arm while Edward stood up one armed a few feet away, breathing heavily.

"Hey, Eddy! Need a hand?" She cried before laughing manically. Again thunder roared in tandem. Cursing, Edward pulled himself up, enraged and tried once again to lunge.

SMACK!

Only to be hit back by his own arm.

SMACK!

"Whats "giggle" "Wrong"

SMACK!

"Edward?" She giggled again.

SMACK!

No one knew what to do except watch frozen in a kind of horrified shock as a blind human girl beat Edward in the face with his own left arm. And giggling as she did so.

Jasper was frightened. Not of her, of course not. He could feel himself returning back to Maria. Feel the bloodlust. The adrenaline. He could remember fighting new-borns cackling as he did so. Wiping out their numbers easily. These feelings. These memories. The ones he'd hidden and tried to bury so long ago were rising up. It frightened him. He knew it was wrong to take pleasure in Edwards defeat but, he did. Especially after being labelled a monster.

"You MONSTER!" Edward screamed through his pain. Jasper started. Before he realised this time that it was directed at Rudi.

SMACK!

"And? Your point being?" She replied lazily.

SMACK!

"Have you learned your lesson?" She asked evilly.

"What?" Edward cried.

SMACK!

"I said, have you learned your lesson?" She asked again.

"Yes!" he replied catching on.

"And what was that?" She prompted smiling.

"To not insult you in your home… or your GUESTS!" He cried as she raised his arm again.

"Well done." She said cheerily as if she hadn't just beaten him into submission with his own arm. Then finally, she threw the battered arm down at his feet. And walked over to where Jasper and Elizah were stood.

"Best tell them the truth Elizah. They'll find out soon enough." She said off handedly, rubbing her bandaged fist again. Elizah sighed. She crossed her arms across her chest and looked from Rudi to Edward whose arms was being reattached by Alice. Then she looked towards Carlisle and his family, all slightly shocked and mildly horrified. She sighed again and pinched her nose between her forefinger and thumb.

"I thought this would at least last longer than oh, I don't know the first thirty minutes!" She snapped at Rudi who blinked nonplussed and shrugged.

"Not might fault he's a dick." She replied, shrugging.

"Fine! Well, seeing as the cat is almost out of the bag I may as well give you permission. Go ahead tell them." Elizah told her sighing. Rudi smirked, winked at Jasper for good measure and turned towards the vampires.

"We have yet, to be formally and correctly introduced. I do apologise firstly, to Jasper for some deceit upon my part. However, I was under oath to Elizah to keep this a secret so, I hope you can forgive me." She said to Jasper, who upon feeling her regret nodded. She smiled.

"Well, then. It's a pleasure Cullen's. My real name is Barghest and I'm a hell hound."
