It's been two weeks since Tanya left Forks. I didn't feel sorry for her, none of us did. She seemed rude and not deserving of a family like the Cullens. We all know she'll be back sometime, but Alice can't figure out when. Besides that, everything has been perfect.

Edward and I told each other everything that happened during our years apart and remembered some times from when we were human. He gave the ring back from his mother and told me it was mine now, that it was a symbol that he was mine. I didn't have anything to give, but he said just having me was enough. I would make it up to him later.

He told his family about his real life. They were mad at first, that he couldn't tell his family about his real life when he knew theirs. But they understood, it was too hard for him retell everything that happened. That kind of pain doesn't go over to well with anyone.

I became part of their family and I was thankful for them. I was afraid I would be alone forever, with no one left. The Cullens accepted me instantly, thanking me for making Tanya go away. I didn't get what was the big deal about that, but I wasn't here that long.

Emmett was like my older brother, Jasper my best friend on account of intellectual conversation. Rosalie was a friend. I hadn't gotten to know her that well. Edward said it was because she didn't like change very much. Alice, the best girl friend a person could have, if you exclude the shopping addictions. Carlisle and Esme were the best parents I could ask for. Edward, well he was just himself, and it was perfect.

We were skipping school today. It was sunny and they were blooding typing, two very good reasons for us not to go. Carlisle and Esme had taken a week vacation to Isle Emse, an island Carlisle bought her a long while ago. Rosalie and Emmett were in France for the weekend, I guess you can do that when you're extremely rich. Edward, Alice, Jasper, and I were going hunting in the forest around the house, not wanting to that far away from home.

"Alice what's wrong?" I was too caught up in my thoughts to realize everyone had stopped. Alice was standing there with a pained expression on her face. She came out of her vision and turned her head to the right. Nothing unusual was there, but apparently something big was happening.

She didn't speak only glared so fiercely that the phrase 'If looks could kill' entered my head. Five seconds later and there was a rustling in the bushes. Everyone froze.

Tanya. She did come back. I thought she would be a coward and not come at all. She had some guts, coming back to a family that absolutely hated her.

"Hello Bella, Alice, Jasper, Edward." I hated the way she said his name, like it was his entire fault she left. She looked feral, a hunter who just found her prey. By the looks of it, I was that victim.

"No you won't Tanya, not if I can help it." Edward was responding to something unsaid from her. He looked livid.

"Oh, I will and I doubt you can stop me." She glared and me, her black eyes boring into mine. I stepped closer and crouched on instinct. I guess it was going to be a fight between us.

I didn't care what she did, but I would make sure she didn't bother my family again. I felt proud, for once, defending something that meant so much to me. I could be a warrior now, not a damsel in distress. I walked away from everyone else, knowing she would follow, trying to get to me. I wouldn't let Edward get sucked into this if he didn't have to be.

Alice held up a hand, as if to stop him from coming after me, and she must of thought some reassuring thoughts for him to let me go.

"So, Tanya, decided to come back and see what a real family looks like?" I needed to get her angry. There just wasn't any fun if she would give up easily. "See how happy we all were until you showed up again? I guess you don't know how to let go."

"You don't know what you're talking about. Edward doesn't love you. He doesn't even know you. You think you can waltz right in and steal a family from me? I don't think so."

"Well, it seems to me that they never really were your family, seeing as they all thanked me when you were gone."

She lunged at me. I took her arm and twisted it behind her back and pushed her forward. She howled in pain and tried to turn around. She ripped her own arm off with that move and I laughed. She looked even angrier, if that was possible.

"Don't think I fight easily, because I don't." She told me.

"Yes, because ripping your own arm off is fighting very hard." I snapped back sarcastically. She was getting me irritated very easily.

I still had her arm in my hand. I didn't feel like holding it, so I threw back in the general direction of the others. While I was turned around, she grabbed some of my hair and pulled hard enough for me to land on the ground.

She hovered over me, looking absolutely terrifying. I got up and jumped backwards. I didn't realize it, but a second later she was hovering in midair, the flying backwards in the same second. She growled and hissed at me, but she couldn't move anywhere. I guess I was holding her back.

Alice and Jasper came over to help me. They tore Tanya apart and put her in a pile. Edward came over slowly, looking horrified. I wondered why. He took lit match and threw it on top of the remnants of Tanya. I let go of the energy I had, I didn't know what it was but if felt good while I had it.

"Bella, that was amazing. How did you do that? I couldn't even see that happening!" Alice loved that I beat Tanya, of course she would.

"I don't know. It just, happened." I looked over at Edward. He was glaring at the burning pieces of her. Alice shrugged, knowing my question already.

"Edward, are you okay? You looked mad."

"No, I'm not okay. You couldn't hear her Bella. Hear what she wanted to do to you, and me, not being able to do anything. If I did she would have killed you, Alice saw that."

Tada! They defeated the evil Tanya! Now what will happen? Review please, story alerts are great but I really like reviews. Thank you!
