Chapter 11

My mind was racing a million miles an hour. Tanya was not going to stop until Edward was hers. And now Mike Newton was a vampire. He was one of my good friends when I was human. He had always had a crush on me, even though he knew Edward and I were together. Edward even told me that Mike had trouble with his thoughts on my wedding day about me. So why would Tanya turn him into a vampire? What on earth was she planning? And then I felt sad after thinking about everything. Mike Newton's life was over. He was forever doomed as an immortal like me. Not that I'm unhappy with being a vampire. I couldn't be any happier about it. I just never wanted any one else to be like this. I got my happy ending when I was turned into an immortal. But Mike didn't need to be turned, he was already happy with his life. Last I had heard, he was engaged to Jessica.

"W-why would she do that?" I stuttered.

"There's one more thing" Alice interrupted "Tanya's eyes are red"

Everyone gasped, and Esme sounded like she was crying, if it were possible. Tanya was drinking human blood, she was killing innocent people.

"Why would she go against her family? Tanya was the one most against killing humans." Carlisle said, He was very upset about this new information.

Then as everyone was talking about Tanya, something finally clicked in my head.

"Edward, I know why she turned Mike into a vampire" I told him "Its part of her plan to get you away from me."
Edward looked at me shocked. "Why do you think that? Maybe she saw something in Mike and now they are mates" He questioned me.

"I don't think so Edward. Think about it..." I argued. Edward then went into deep thought.

"What are we going to do?" Esme asked.

"We should wait for her to finish planning" Alice answered.

I couldn't believe Tanya would do this just to get back at me and to tale Edward away from me. She has really lost her mind.

"Edward, what if she turns all my human friends into v-vampires?" I asked worriedly.

"I can't have all my friends lose their lives because of me."

"I honestly don't know Bella." Edward responded. "I don't know what she's doing."

I got up out of his lap. He looked up at me with worried eyes "Where are you going?"

"To find Tanya" I responded "She can not hurt my friends like this. It's too late for Mike, but I will protect the others"

"Bella, no you can't. What if this is her plan?" He asked "She knows Alice would see what she's doing. What if she's trying to get you alone?"

"He's right, Bella" Jasper answered. "You're not a newborn anymore, so if Tanya and Mike find you, then Mike will be able to overpower you"

"And if I don't do something and she dooms rest of my friends to this life. Then Ill have to live with that forever. Knowing I could have stopped it from happening" I was extremely frustrated at everyone. I couldn't believe they weren't concerned about this.

"Bella, you don't know what she's planning yet" Alice aid. "Changing Mike could be the only person in her plan"

I sighed, very frustrated, and then I made up on my mind on the situation.

"I don't care. Esme please keep an eye on Nessie for me until I get back" I said quickly. Edward saw I was about to run and got up to grab me. But before he could, I took off. I ran out the door and into the woods.

"BELLA! STOP!" Edward yelled miles behind me. I put my shield down 'No Edward! I have to do this! She can't hurt anyone else!' I thought and then snapped my shield back into place. I kept running deeper into the woods, trying to outrun Edward. But I wasn't faster than him anymore, and he soon caught up to me. As soon as he did catch up with me, he grabbed me around my waist.

"Edward! Let go! I have to protect them!" I demanded.

"No Bella. We need to wait until Alice sees more!" He argued as he tightens his grip around my waist.

"Yea and by then, it will be too late" I kept struggling against his hold. Just as I was about to get free, Edward sighed and let me go.

"Ok Bella, You win." He sighed "But I'm coming with you" He pulled his cell phone out and dialed a number.

"Who are you calling?" I asked.

"Emmett. I'm having come too. If we find Tanya, we need Emmett so we have the odds. And Emmett's strength will be useful against Mike's newborn strength." He explained and then he was talking to Emmett. He told him where to meet us and hung up. Within seconds, Emmett showed up with Rosalie.

Edward and I stared at them, questioning why Rose came.

She insisted on coming" Emmett answered. Seeing the question on our faces.

"I told Tanya, I would help you rip her head off and that's what I'm going to do" You and Edward have had a lot to deal with lately and don't need this crap from her" She smiled.

"Thanks Rose" I smiled back.

"So where do we look first?" Emmett asked.

"I want to check on everyone 1st.' I said "The last I heard Jessica and Mike were still together. So let's check on her first."

"Ok let's go" Edward said as he took my hand. We ran to Jessica's house and arrived in 45 seconds.

"Ok, I'm going to look in her room and see if I can see her"" I said as I ran to her window. Jess was sitting on her bed, listening to music... She was still human and I sighed, relieved. I ran back to the other.

"She's there" I said "She's still human…Lets go check on the rest now"

We went to everyone's houses. All of my friends were still there. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders as I saw them still human and safe.

"Now what?" Asked Rosalie. I didn't answer. I just stood there, thinking.

"I want to find her" I finally spoke.

"What?" Edward asked.

"I wanted to find Tanya, Edward.

"No, no way Bella. That's out of the question." Edward snapped.

"Edward, I want to end this!" I snapped back "TONIGHT"

"Bella, I agree with you about ending this. But I agree with Edward. Let's wait and see what she does." Rose responded. I glared at her and she looked down.

"Maybe she has moved on from Edward. Mike could be her mate now" Emmett added.

"Yea and her eyes are red because she wanted a different look" I snorted

"Lets just go home and talk to Carlisle" Edward reasoned "He was calling the Denali's when Emmett and Rose left."

I could tell they weren't going to let me go. SO I gave in and agreed to go back to the house. We made it back to the house and walked in.

"What did Eleazar say, Carlisle?" Edward asked as soon as we walked in.

"They are very upset" Carlisle replied. I started to walk upstairs as Carlisle was telling Edward what Eleazar told him. Edward grabbed my hand instantly.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm going to check on Jacob and Renesmee" I quickly answered. I was really going to jump out one of the windows upstairs. But I didn't want Edward knowing that.

I hated lying to him but I want to find Tanya and end this now. But he won't allow me to do that.

Unfornately, I'm still a horrible liar. Even being a vampire didn't change that flaw about me. We\hen ever I lie, I end up answering too quickly. And I could tell on Edwards face, that he didn't believe me. He just stared at me with an unhappy look.

"Edward, Ill be back in a few minutes. I just want to make sure they are ok" I said, trying to be convincing.

"How about I come with you?" He asked me.

"Edward, I don't want to wake them up if they are sleeping" I answered.

He just nodded and let go of my hand. But I could feel his eyes burn a hole into my back as I continued up the stairs.

Once I got up the top of the stairs, I flew to Nessie's room. I did want to make sure they were ok before I left. I quickly cracked the door opened and peeked at them. They were sound asleep. I smiled and shut the door quietly. I turned and ran to Edward and my room. I leaped out the window and flew across the front lawn. I went back to Forks. I decided to go to Mike's house first, hoping Tanya's scent would still be there.

Luck was with me, I caught her scent as soon as I stepped into his lawn. I followed the scent into the woods. Then the scent got stronger and I stopped. I realized where I was then. I was in mine and Edward's meadow. I walked a little further and stopped in the middle and looked around.

I stood there looking around for her. I didn't see anything as I scanned the woods. Then all of a sudden I heard something come from behind me. I turned around quickly and saw her. Tanya was a few feet away from me, staring at me with her red eyes with a grin on her face. Then she started laughing "My plan worked better than I thought it would"

I gritted my teeth together "Tanya" I hissed. "Have you lost your mind?" She laughed again.

She flew and was in front of me instantly and I flinched back a little.

"Why would you go against your family? Your hurting them and for what? To try and take Edward?" I told her. She stopped laughing and I saw pain flash across her face briefly. Then a smug expression replaced the pained look.

"Bella I do believe you know my friend" She said and looked to the right towards the woods "Mike?"

Just then Mike appeared next to Tanya.

"Hello Bella" He smirked "So this is the big secret about you and the Cullen's?"

"Mike" I said as hurt and sadness filled my body "Im...so...sorry. This happened to you…That SHE did this to you. But you don't have to live like she has shown you. There's a better way to live in this life."

"Ha! I'm glad she did this" He laughed "I'm NOT sorry…..but YOU will be"

"What are you talking about?" I asked backing away as Mike crouched down. Suddenly Mike flew at me and knocked me down. I got up and he pinned my arms behind me. I tried to get free but he was too strong.

"Mike, Let me go!" I shouted. "Why are you doing this to me?"

Tanya laughed

"Oh Bella" She chuckled "Mike is very upset with you." She chuckled.

"What? Why? What did I do to you Mike?"

"Well you broke his heart when you were human…but then you did something even worse than that" Tanya explained. I just stared at her, waiting for her to continue.

"You killed his fiancée, Jessica. His last chance at happiness" She finished.

"What? No mike, that's not true!" He yanked and pulled my arms back harder and growled. It was starting to hurt me.

"Bella, you can't deny it. You were so jealous of Jessica. Because she got Mike and you didn't. You couldn't stand that she was getting married to him could you?" She had a smug smile on her face. My eyes went wide.

"I found Mike a week ago, crying over her dead body" She continued as her smile turned into an evil grin. "I showed him what I was and told him that you killed her. So he asked me if I would change him so he could get revenge." Mike growled again.

"Mike, Listen to me. Jessica is alive! I just saw her in her house tonight" I told him.

Mike froze instantly. "She's alive?"

"Yes Mike. She's alive. She's at her house right now" I replied and moved out of his frozen hands. Mike stared at Tanya with accusing eyes that were filled with anger.

"You lied to me." He started stalking towards Tanya. "And now I can never be with Jessica."

"Mike, don't let her do this to you. I told you how the Cullen's plays mind tricks." Tanya spoke in a memorizing voice. Mike shook his head quickly.

"You lie!" He growled and flashed behind me with my arms pinned behind me once more.

"Mike I'm not lieing! She is the one lieing! Please Mike, let me go!" I begged.

"Save it Bella. He's not going to believe you" Tanya Laughed. "Mike will get his revenge and Ill get my Edward."

I growled this time, I closed my eyes, trying to force all my strength into my arms.

Tanya continued "And Renesmee will be MY daughter. She needs a better mother. Not one who lets her daughter get beaten up and raped" She chuckled again.

Rage filled my body and I got the strength to flipped out of Mikes hold on me and hit him. He went flying across the field. I turned to hit Tanya but she grabbed my head and flung me. I flew in the air and collided with a tree. The tree and I fell to the ground, producing a loud bang. I got up and flew at Tanya. I grabbed her shoulder and threw her to the ground. Then I ripped off Tanya's arm and threw it to the side. Tanya screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Just as my hands were about to rip her head off, Mike caught me and hit me in the stomach, knocking me to the ground. I flashed up to my feet dodging out of the way from Tanya. I ran at Mike to attack him. Tanya grabbed me from behind with her one arm and pushed me onto the ground. She yanked me up and Mike took me by my head.

I quickly pushed my shield away "EDWARD! HELP ME!...I love you."

Mike wrapped his arms around my neck, preparing to rip my head off…..
