Cheaters

Recap:

"Sam, darling, come out here." Victoria called and out came a newborn with tangled blonde hair, her eyes were dark black, close to a maroon color, and her legs and arms were scrawny and matted with a mixture of blood and mud. "She fights without giving any mercy. It's perfect for the occasion. Edward killed James without mercy, so why not?"

After talking to Trent, I sat down and decided to read one of my books. I just sat down and got comfortable when Alice bounced in. "Hey, Alice." I said, putting my book down.

"Hey, Bella. I need to tell you something." she said with an uncertain face.

"Yeah?" I asked. Alice was usually cheerful, even in a bad situation. I could only imagine what she would have to say.

"Have you broken up with Trent yet?" she asked.

"No." I replied. "Why?"

"I had a vision." she admitted.

"What does that have to do with me and Trent?" I asked.

"He's cheating on you, again." she said as she played with her fingers.

"Was it with that Alexandrite?" I said, starting to get mad. I have had enough with everyone cheating on me. First it was Edward, now Trent. Could my love life get any worse?

"No, it was Ebony."

"Oh." I said. At least I wasn't the only one that's been cheated on.

"You don't get it, do you, Bella?" Alice asked. I just stared at her. What didn't I get? "He never loved you, Bella. Ebony never loved Edward. It's all been just a game." I couldn't take it any more. I was done being nice. They were both going to pay. I was done being treated like a toy.

"Then what do we do now?" I asked. Alice just smiled her evil, little grin.

"I have a few ideas."

The whole morning, Alice and I were trying to think of ways on how to get back at Ebony and Trent. Most of them involved slow and painful deaths. It was fun, until Alice had another vision.

"What is it, Alice?" I asked once she snapped out of her 'far off' state.

"Ebony is trying to lure Edward away to Victoria and a newborn." she replied.

"When?" I asked.

"Tonight, or as soon as it starts to rain."

"This isn't good." I stated. "We have to get rid of them." No more slow and painful deaths.

"But how?" she asked. "Edward obviously won't want to fight against them."

"We'll still be able to take them." I said.

"I'm not so sure about that." Alice said. "We have to make sure Edward is on our side."

"We better work quick." I said as the rain started to hit the window.

"Let's go." Alice said, dragging me out of my room and into Edward's.

"Can I help you?" Edward said once we busted through his door.

"I had a vision." Alice said.

"I'm not going shopping." he said. I couldn't help but giggle, but I quickly snapped out of it when I realized how serious this was.

"Ebony cheated on you and she's going to bring you to Victoria right now." I said.

"Who else is there besides me?" he asked.

"Trent." Alice answered.

"Do you really believe them?" Ebony asked as she pushed Alice and me. "Bella is just some pathetic little thing and Alice has probably gone crazy with all of these "visions" that she supposedly has." I couldn't believe her. I'm not pathetic, I've just had some issues with guys. "Come on, Edward. I'm thirsty."

"I don't drink from humans." Edward said back to her.

"I know, I've decided to change, for you."

"Okay." he replied as he headed for the door. "Let's go." See, she's not so bad. Edward 'said' to me.

"Edward, you don't understand!" I called after him. I started to run after him, but I ran into Trent instead.

"You really have to decide who you like." he chuckled.

"I've decided." I replied as I tried to get past him. "Edward, wait!" I called out, but the rain had drowned out me voice.

"Whoa, hold up now. When did you decide that you liked him more?" he asked.

"I've always liked him." I said, trying to get free of his grip.

"But didn't you like me more?"

"That was before I found out that you cheated on me, again!"

"What?" he asked in confusion.

"Ebony!" I shouted. "You never loved me!"

"I didn't have a choice." he snapped back.

"Of course you do!" I shouted back. "I'm tired of hearing that excuse. If you really loved me, than you would have stayed away from her." Now I had no idea if he was telling the truth, or lying just to make sure that their plan would go smoothly. He finally let me go, so I ran to catch up with Alice and the others. "Hey." I said when I finally caught up with them.

"Hey." Alice replied. Carlisle was finally able to spot Ebony and Edward hunting. We crouched down behind some nearby bushes so we would still be able to keep a close eye on them.

"Did you miss me?" a familiar voice asked from behind me.

"Vic-" I started. She had throw herself onto of me. "Get off!" I said as I tried to shake her off. Carlisle and Jasper soon came to my aid and were able to pry her off of me. But it was too late, Edward and Ebony had already spotted us and started to head towards us.

"So it's true." Edward said to no one in particular.

"What's true?" I asked.

"Ebony and Victoria are trying to kill me."

"From the looks of it, I think that they are." I said.

"And you never loved me?" Edward said to Ebony.

"I surprised that you didn't figure that earlier. I never loved you. There was a time, but you were way too protective and overbearing for me. I'm surprised that Bella stayed with you as long as she has. What a pity that you had to lose her." What a pity indeed. He did this to himself. "Now that that's over with, I should be getting back to killing you." Ebony then started to throw herself at Edward, but I cut in and slammed her into a tree. Esme and Alice were busy tearing Victoria apart, while Jasper and Carlisle kept her in place. Then, Sam came in and started to attack Edward. But because Sam had little skill and experience, Edward was quickly able to kill her.

"Did Trent cheat on me or not?" I asked her as we fought.

"You'll have to ask him that." she said as punched me. I then threw her off of me and started pelt her with boulders and rocks, using my mind. When Ebony was finally torn up, Alice came over and started to burn her up along with Victoria and Sam.

"Sorry, Edward." I mumbled.

"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. I never believed you."

"I forgive you." I said as we all walked back home.

"Did you break up with Trent yet?" Alice asked.

"I don't know." I replied.

"You better figure out soon."
