Chapter 8

Later Haley was outside training with her powers.

'I must get stronger.' She thought. 'I don't want to lose when I go up against Pepper.'

Will and Edward walked out the house and watched Haley.

Haley closed her eyes and set herself on fire.

Will's eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't know that she could do that? Could you?"

Edward shook her head. "No."

Haley then made a large ring of flames around her.

"This must be a new power." Edward said.

"It's certainly strong." Will replied. "I wonder if she's going to use it when she goes up against Pepper."

"She's thinking about it but she knows that Pepper will be able to block that kind of force. She doesn't want to hurt her."

"I don't think that she'll be able to get close to her to tell you the truth." Will said. "Pepper is very strong."

Haley growled and turned to Will and Edward.

"Uh-oh I think that she heard you." Edward said as he smirked.

"I'm so glad to see that my own husband and my own twin brother have so little faith in me William and Edward." Haley said as the fire increased around her.

"I do have faith in you Haley you know we do." Will said.

Edward nodded in agreement. "We both do."

Haley turned away from him and faced a group of trees beside her.

She raised her hand and a line of fire went flying towards the trees completely engulfing the trees.

Haley waved her hand and the fire immediately disappeared.

There was nothing left of the group of trees when the fire vanished.

As the rest of the flames vanished someone started clapping.

Haley turned to see Pepper standing behind Edward and Will clapping by the door.

"Very impressive Haley." Pepper said.

Haley smiled. "Thanks."

"Are you ready for our fight yet?"

Haley nodded.

"Good."

As Pepper walked down the steps Bella, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper came out to join them.

"I got 20 on Pepper." Emmett said to Jasper.

"You're on." Jasper replied.

Haley rolled her eyes. 'How did I know that was going to happen?' she thought.

"Now we shall see which one of us is the strongest in the world." Pepper said as she stood in front of Haley. "Are you ready Haley?"

Haley nodded nervously. "You can go first."

"Are you sure?"

Haley nodded again.

"Well if you insist." Pepper said as she raised her hands.

Haley crouched down as she got ready for Pepper's attack.

Suddenly the earth opened up from underneath Haley's feet.

Haley jumped out of the way to avoid being swallowed up and raised her hands and sent electricity towards Pepper.

The electricity hit an invisible force and disappeared.

'A shield.' Haley thought.

Pepper nodded. "You should have remembered that Haley."

Haley growled and raised her hands and sent an ice beam towards Pepper.

Pepper raised her own hands and sent a huge flamethrower towards Haley.

Haley jumped into the air and created silver wings with flecks of purple onto her back.

"Did you know that she could even do that?" Will whispered to Edward.

Edward shook his head.

Pepper smiled. "You do realize that you're not the only one who can do that right?" Pepper said as she jumped into the air and also created larger butterscotch wings on her back.

Haley created spikes in her hands and threw it at Pepper.

Pepper used her speed to dodge each of the spikes.

Haley then started copies of herself around Pepper.

Pepper smiled. "You really think that you can hide yourself from me."

"Yes." Said each of them together.

Pepper shook her head and laughed. "I can tell which one of you is the real one out all you fakers." She said. "And I'm about to attack the real one."

Pepper slowly disappeared.

"Where did she go?" asked the Haley's as they looked around for Pepper.

Pepper appeared behind one of the Haley's back.

"Right behind you." She whispered into her ear.

Haley had no time to react before she was kicked in the back and sent down to the ground.

As she hit the ground the copies of Haley disappeared.

Before she could get up Pepper landed next to Haley and put a flaming hand near her neck.

"I win." She said.

Haley sighed. "You win."

Pepper smiled as she helped Haley to her feet.

"That was a great battle Haley. You really showed how powerful you were."

"Yes but it wasn't enough. I still lost to you. Now we know who is the strongest in the world. It's you Pepper. I gladly hand that title to you."

Pepper laughed. "No Haley I don't want that title. You may have the title as the world's strongest vampire."

Haley smiled. "Thanks."

Bella, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Will, Edward and Jasper walked over to them.

"That was a very interesting fight to watch." Carlisle said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for fighting me Haley." Pepper said.

Haley smiled. "I would gladly have a rematch with you anytime Pepper." Haley replied. "Are you going to stay with us for now on?"

Pepper nodded. "After all you are my family now."

The end.
