A/N: Okay, so I decided to try and write this chapter from Edward's point of view. It will be our nice Edward because apparently killer Edward is anti-social. Okay, the real reason I'm not doing his point of view is that I don't want you all to think that I'm some psycho killer or have the mind of one and try to put me in a psych ward.... well at least not yet. Anyways, let me know what you want to happen in the story or what you think what will happen or whatever, the point is REVIEW! I love that you put me on your alerts but I really feel alone in this world I'm creating and its driving me crazy.

Disclaimer: Good News! Negotiations are going well. Steph said she might hand over Carlisle.... after Hell freezes over.... twice.... So I only have *pauses, counting onfingers while doing math in head* about twelve eternities until I can have Carlisle. Now I just have to convince her to add everyone else to the deal....
Chapter Seven: My Own Worst Enemy
EPOV
I sat there staring at the ground. I knew I was going to lose control again soon, I felt the darkness creeping closer; even before Bella showed up.
"Are you okay?" Well, let me think... NO! My alternate personality that just happens to be a killer is about to take over and now she shows up to witness it!
"Why do you care?" I really didn't know, but it was more of an attempt to get her to leave than to gain information.
"Because there is a killer out there and no matter how tough you think you are you're not! I care because I wouldn't be able to handle another death! I care because I like you!"
"If there is anything dangerous out here it's me." I forced myself to ignore the last thing she said. Because if I did, I would let her stay and she would be at the mercy of the monster when he took over.
"No. I will not let you sit out here and get yourself killed. If you don't want me to do it for you, then fine, I'll do it for me. Either way it's going to go my way." She said with controlled anger and authority in her voice. The moster laughed. She thinks she's threatening?
"Bella. Just leave me alone. I'm not in any danger." I needed to get her out of there. I was losing control. There was an hint of a threat that the monster had forced into my voice. Well at least it would get her out of there faster.
"No. I can't do that." Did she want to get herself killed? at that point I had lost almost all control. Just get her to leave. I begged my other half. He laughed. I was still able to see and hear what was being said, but I had no control over what I did or said. She shot forward and grabbed his pressure point. Go Bella! Unfortunately we were very well trained and I knew she wouldn't gain the upper hand. He ducked out of her grip and pinned her against the tree.
"Leave me alone." He growled at her. Well at least he was giving her a chance.
"I won't let you get yourself hurt." She gasped, obviously in pain from being pushed up against the tree. Let go. I growled. He laughed but loosened his grip.
"What could possible hurt me?"
"Hm, I don't know; a bear, a mountain lion, or maybe THE MURDERER THAT'S HIDING OUT IN THE FOREST!"
"Let me tell you a secret." He paused leaning in to whisper in her ear. I growled at him. He smirked. "I am the killer."

"Let me tell you a secret." He paused to lean in and whisper in my ear. "I am the killer."
"GET OFF OF HER!" I heard Jake yell. Wait, Jake? What was he doing here? I felt Edward release his grip on me and then a thud on the forest floor. Uh-oh this isn't good.
"Jake, don't hurt him!" I screamed. His head snapped up in confusion. Edward took advantage of this distraction and tackled him, pinning him to the ground. Jake kicked his knees out from under him and rolled them over, pinning Edward down. They kept battling for dominance as I screamed for them not to hurt each other.
"Stop it!" I screamed at them
They had both gotten up off of the ground and were circling each other preparing for another round. I ran out between them and put a hand on each of thier chests, pushing them away from each other. They both froze. I knew they would stop if fighting meant hurting me.
"I said stop." I growled at them. They both stared at me in shock. I couldn't help but laugh. Maybe it was because things were so intense and I needed the tension to break, or maybe because, deep down, I truely am insane. Either way, no matter what I did I could not stop laughing. The shock turned into worry as I collapsed on the dirt in fits of hysterical laughter.
"Bells!" Jake called. "Bells are you okay? Bells answer me!" When I saw the fear and worry on Jake's face I abruptly stopped laughing. It took a lot to scare Jake. I took a deep breath.
"Yeah, I'm okay Jake. Thanks." He sighed in relief. Then he remembered why he had been so mad earlier.
"Bells, what were you doing out here alone? Charlie said you were coming over and I started to worry when you didn't show. I knew you'd be crazy enough to go wandering out in the forest alone."
I looked up to see Edward- who had, amazingly, stayed- pacing. He was pinching the bridge of his nose and looked to be deep in thought.
"I came to make sure he was okay." I turned back to Jake and saw that he was completely confused. "Remember that day when we went hiking in the woods?" He nodded. "He's what I saw that day. I came back and I've been bringing him food and hanging out with him since then." Comprehension crossed his face, quickly replaced by anger.
"Bells, you should have told me. What if you got hurt? What if something happened to you? You can't just go looking for some stranger in the forest alone! What would Charlie have done if anything happened to you? What-" He looked off into the woods. "What would I do?" He looked back at me, the anger fading. "Bells, you know I love you, you're my best friend, I would have gone with you ya know. Anything to keep you safe."
"No, you would have talked me out of it. I love you too Jake, you're my best friend too, but you would never have let me do this. And no matter what, I can't bring myself to regret going." He nodded, knowing I was right. "What were you doing out here anyways?"
"Um." He hesitated.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I think we need to talk. All of us." He sent a pointed glance at Jake. Who... looked down with guilt? What the heck?
A/N: ooh. What's Jake hiding? How will Bella react when she remembers what Edward told her? Why am I asking you all these questions?
You're just gonna have to wait and find out. Except the last question. That was because I want to know what you think is going to happen. I think it might be kinda obvious but ya never know. Anyways REVIEW!!!!!!
P.S. My dog Chico says hi.
