Chapters are going to be delayed over the next few weeks as I have been given quite a bit of coursework to do.

I will however try to make sure there is a chapter at least once a week or maybe even two.

I would like to say a big thank you to Dark Miko for her continuing reviews and patience.

Enjoy!

Chapter 10

All hell breaks loose

Edward was next to Bella within seconds, he cradled her as she began to stir and moan from the pain.

"Bella! Bella! Please wake up Bella" shouted Edward.

"I'm ok. Can you see anyone?"

Edward looked around and even with his extended vision he couldn't see the son of a bitch who had shot his Bella. He decided to open his mind, he closed his eyes and let the the thoughts through. He winced at all the voices shouting in his mind but he was instantly able to hear the mind of the shooter.

A little warning shot to show what I have in store for you Bella Dawson the voice was filled with hatred.

Edward motioned Alice to help Bella get the bullets out as he started to run towards the voice, Jasper and Emmett followed him closely not willing to let anything happen to their brother.

As Edward came into the room the door ripped off its hinges, a young women stood looking confused and bewildered at the three men in front of her.

"Who the hell are you?" she said coldly.

Edward put his hand around her throat and held her against the brick wall.

"You tried to kill Bella. I am going to rip you limb from limb you bitch."

Edward tightened his grip causing the women's face to turn deep red colour. Edward was going to choke the life out of her and he knew he would not feel bad afterwards.

"Edward we still need to know why she shot Bella, let go of her throat" Jasper urged to Edward as he grabbed Edward's arm.

Edward focused all of his attention on just removing his hand. He wanted answers but struggle with thought of killing the woman who had a huge grin on her face.

Edward released her and Jasper immediately grabbed her and whisked her away.

Bella

The pain was not that was unbearable, she hated to admit it but it wasn't the first time she had been shot but she wasn't going to let Edward know that.

Methos and Duncan were above her. One held her head up and supported her weight while the other started to remove the bullet, Carlisle had offered to help but the defensive Duncan would not allow any of the vampires to remain around her.

"Where is Edward?"

"He's gone after the person that hurt you Bella, just stay still so we can get the last bullet out" soothed Methos.

The last bullet took a minute to get out but as soon as it had came out Bella was able to heal.

Esme stepped forward and offered to take care of Bella till she was back to full health. Methos had no problem with the offer and he sensed something different about Esme, she seemed to have a loving attitude within her. Duncan also strangely allowed Esme to care for Bella and Bella welcomed Esme without arguement.

The training room

Lydia as she had identified herself was secure in the training room. Bella wanted to confront her on her own.

Lydia knew her interrogation was going to be soon and she welcomed it. She wanted to look the women who had killed her Credo in the eyes. Small footsteps came from the stairs and Lydia smiled.

"Bella Dawson, the famous killer" laughed Lydia.

"Lydia. I have some questions for you."

"Ask away you murderous bitch"
