Victoria
"Well, well, well," Victoria hissed. "We meet again, Isabella. And Edward too! What a wonderful surprise."
"What do you want, Victoria?" I growled. I didn't want to deal with this right now. Jacob and Victoria in one day? What was my life coming to?
"I've come to avenge James' death," she said, lunging at me. I easily side-stepped away from her, bringing Edward with me. Her eyes widened at my speed. "You're faster than any vampire!" she shouted, shocked.
"Tell us something we don't know," Edward muttered. Victoria growled at him, but stopped as she found herself hovering in mid-air.
"W-what are you?!" she shouted at me. I laughed at her fear. A vampire who had come to kill me, was now terrified of me in a matter of seconds. It's funny how those things happen.
"I'm a vampire, like you, only much more powerful," I stated calmly. "I could kill you without touching you, if I wanted to. But I'd much rather watch you suffer."
Victoria growled at me and tried to reach me, but I flung her across the room.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," I said, standing over her. "You just don't learn, do you? That could just cost you your life."
She started to back away, trying to get to the window. I beat her to it and lifted her up by her throat. "I'll let you off this time, but if you ever come near my family or me again, it will be the last thing you ever do!" I promised. "Now go!" She was out the window without a second thought.
I turned back to Edward, who was smiling with proud. I smiled back before wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you, you know that?" he whispered in my ear. The smell of his breath made my head spin as usual.
"I know," I laughed. "I love you, too."
He kissed me then, and I forgot about anything else in the world, except the feel of his lips on mine.
The door burst open, and we turned to see the entire Cullen family standing there. "Is she gone?" Alice asked.
I nodded. "But she'll probably be back."
