I was busy reading Wuthering Heights for the past hour when I smelled James.

"Well, well, look who it is and all alone I might add. This is easier than I thought it would be." Said James

This is too easy. She is alone and vulnerable. I can take her down, but I kind of want to prolong the situation in hopes that her precious boyfriend would show up and witness her death. ~James

"I may be alone and appear to be vulnerable but I am sure it won't be as easy as you think. Besides I wouldn't be so sure that my boyfriend would be witnessing my death let alone my death at all."

Where is all this confidence coming from? He could easily destroy me in the blink of an eye, I think since I have seen the future I know that I will be fine and unscathed. I just don't know why that is yet.

What can she read minds like her boyfriend? ~James

I started to chuckle. "And why do you think that and why are you laughing. I can kill you in a matter of seconds and your precious Edward wouldn't be able to get to you in time. Besides even if he doesn't show up to witness he can watch the video after words. You see here is a camera and it is recording our interaction right now." Said James

I continued to laugh even harder, which pissed him even more because in a matter of seconds he ran his full vampire speed which would have done serious damage even would have possibly killed me on impact had it not have been for being flung 50 feet away from me. He didn't even get to come within an inch of my body. In fact he was flung that many feet as soon as he got within 5 feet of me. Although I was initially surprised by this turn of events I still watched in amazement that this could have happened. After his initial shock wore off he got up and made his way back over to where I was but this time stood a fare distance from me. From the feelings that I got from him, he was still smug but with and undertone of fear and shock.

"What the hell was that, was that some sort of shield. It shimmered blue as soon as I made impact. I couldn't even get within 5 feet before I was flung 50 feet away from you Was that you're doing last time I checked your were still human and your vampire friends don't have this ability. " Said James

This is going to be harder than I thought killing this meager human. That's ok I like a challenge. Oh look Edward, Alice, & Jasper have arrived to witness the show, and they were just as surprised as I was about this shield thing. Now I know it wasn't them, but was it her. She is just a human. ~James

That was so cool I knew that she was going to be special and fit in this family. ~Alice

What the hell was that? In all my years in the vampire army I never witnessed anything like that. Even the Volturi doesn't have vampires that possess gifts like that. We have to protect Bella from now on. She is one special person, especially if this is manifesting while she is human. ~Jasper

Was that my Bella's doing. That is one powerful shield; I wonder what else it could do. I should call Carlisle when this is over. ~Edward

It was then I realized that the shield was coming from me. It was almost comical I somehow was able to protect myself. Maybe these metabolic changes are not so bad after all. I am glad Edward, Alice and Jasper are back and can assist me if I need it but by the looks of it I feel I don't need their help. In fact I can now sense this shield. I know the basic mechanics of it so I can control it and protect myself but it would be nice to know everything about it though. I guess I should talk to Carlisle.

"I told you it won't be as easy as you think. I believe what you saw was another one of my gifts which I just discovered when you tried to attack me. You see I am not a normal human not anymore anyway."

Where is all this confidence coming from. It must be the fact that she knows now she can protect herself. ~Jasper Yes she finally is coming into herself. ~Alice That confidence is misplaced; I will end this façade now. I am tired of prolonging the inevitable. She will be killed and in front of her friends. ~James

Not if I have anything to do with it.~ Edward

Always my protector I thought while I shook my head in amusement.

"That's an understatement. You think with this stupid shield of yours you will be able not be harmed. I am sure that this shield only appears when someone runs at you. I will still kill you though for two reasons. One you cannot possible know how to control this shield if you just now found out about it, and two I think if I approach you slowly it won't activate. Mark my words you will dead before Any of your vamp friends can save you." Said James with an evil chuckle.

Just then Edward Growled, and was about to attack James however was immediately restrained by both Alice and Jasper.

"Funny, I guess Alice and Jasper are not really on your side if they are currently restraining your boyfriend from attacking me."

"I believe they are restraining Edward in order to prevent being hurt himself or to prevent me being hurt. I assure you that Alice and Jasper are loyal to their current family as well as me."

"Ha Ha Ha, that's it I will kill you right now in a blink of an eye. You can't stop me and neither can your so-called friends." Said James

What is with this guy. Not only can Bella probably do some damage to a vampire with that shield of hers, James thinks he can get passed us. That is next to impossible with Jasper. He can send a dose of fear and incapacitate him in seconds. ~Alice

If it wasn't for Bella's shield I would be incapacitating James this second. What his with his arrogance. ~Edward

If he tries to attack one more time I am going to use my own empathetic cocktail and attack him before he could even say hello. ~Jasper

"You must be delusional because clearly you don't see that I cannot be harmed and besides if I hypothetically couldn't control said shield any number of my friends could attack you before you even lend a finger on me. I assure you I won't be dying to night, you will be. Seeing as you are about to die. I will tell you this. I have the ability to read minds, project thoughts and emotions, see the future, shield, & sense emotions. I also have your ability as a tracker which I got from you, but you see mine is more advanced."

This girl is crazy. She is clearly belongs in a nut house. She cannot possibly have all these abilities, let alone beat me. I am almost unstoppable. I would be if it wasn't for that measly human named Mary Alice Brandon who escaped my clutches by being turned into a vampire herself. Her blood was so delectable. ~James "

What the hell…." ~Edward

"Now who is delusional now? You are the one that is about to die." Said James

"I am not delusional, nor am I crazy. I do not belong in a nut house and I do actually have all those abilities. Care for a demonstration."

"fine I can see that you can clearly read minds but I surely doubt that you can do all those other things." Said James

"I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you. It might end badly."

"I have the right to be smug. I have killed thousands of humans and vampire alike. In fact only one human was ever able to escape my clutches and that was your precious Alice, but her name was Mary Brandon at the time. You probably already know that since you read my mind. Anyway I was traveling around her home town when I spotted this mouth-watering scent which led me to this insane asylum. When I got there I found out that her own family put her in this asylum because she had visions and thought she was crazy. Well she was after the torture that this place put her in, she was scared and beside herself. I just wish I could have inflicted this torture on her instead of her nurses. When I went into the asylum I smelt another vampire who apparently was working there as one of the doctors, he also had golden eyes but disguised them with contacts. This vampire defended her when I tried to attack her. It appeared that he was in love with her. I left pissed off but decided I would return when he wasn't working. When I returned a few days later I found out that he had changed her and hid her so that I couldn't locate her; however I managed to find the location and when I went to make my kill, her sire attacked me, while Alice snuck away. Once I killed her sire I couldn't seem to find Alice because it started raining and washed away her scent. I was pissed, so instead of continuing my search to kill Alice I tracked down her parents and drained them instead. I later found out that she had a 2 year old sister named Cynthia Brandon who was staying with her Grandma at the time. I didn't pursue because at time I came across other things to distract me. In the back of my mind I always wondered what happened to you Alice and I was flabbergasted when I saw you with this coven. Not only do I have the chance to redeem myself I can also get rid of you Bella. I won't make the same mistake and that is why I plan to kill you both."

Ok I had enough of this. I now know why we couldn't get rid of James yet. I needed to find out about my shielding abilities as well as find out about Alice's human life and why James was involved. Ok now I am going to finish him off. Let's test my abilities.

I wonder if I can send him a dose of fear while I project my thoughts. ANY LAST WORDS JAMES YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE. I yelled at him while sending him a large dose of fear. He immediately fell to his knees. By the time he recovered and tired to run at me due to his full-on rage, I flung my blue shield around him causing him to freeze in mid stride. From his emotions he was now emanating pure fear and shock. I think he finally realized that I could take down a vampire if I wanted to.

"Ok James should I torture you since you were fully intending on torture me and once you were done with me you were planning on torturing my family and friends. Maybe I should do exactly what you plan on doing to me."

"N-N-No, j-j-just kill m-m-me n-n-now, I f-f-finally g-g-give. Y-Y-You are r-r-right I was d-d-delusional. I-I-I will n-n-never m-m-make that m-m-mistake."

"You are right you won't make the same mistake because you won't live that long."

Let see should I destroy him slowly and make him suffer or should I pull his body part in one fluid motion. You know what I think I will torture him slowly. He has done enough damage in the past. I took my shield and slowly one by one pulled off his fingers and toes. Then I pulled off his limbs one by one. Then when I finally pulled off his head, all his screams were finally silenced and I dropped my shield.

While I was slowly pulling him apart I kept hearing him scream 'what the hell are you, you are not human yet you are not a vampire. Your eyes they are pitch black.' When it was all done and the shield was removed I collapsed but the odd thing was I did not feel any remorse. I rather enjoyed killing him immensely and that scared me.

It wasn't until I heard a few gasps and cold arms wrap around me that I came out of my mini stupor. I slowly got up, with the help of Edward even though I didn't need his help and turned around to face Edward, Jasper and Alice. Edward was shocked, and worried. Jasper was awed and Alice was smug.

"Um hi guys." I said sheepishly Not ready to face them yet but I knew that sooner or later I will have to explain myself. I am not sure exactly what happened.

"What the hell was that? We arrived as soon Alice had a vision of James arriving and trying to attack you so we cut our hunt short; but soon as we arrived we witnessed something phenomenal. You will need to explain but before that we need we need to start a the pyre, so we can ensure that James won't be coming back." Said Jasper

"Ok. I will be happy to explain at the house."

Alice and Jasper started the fire and threw James in the fire, while Edward kept hugging me to make sure that I was ok and uninjured. From his emotions I could tell he was concerned about me. I don't blame him since I killed someone, granted it was a vampire and I wasn't my usual self.
