Bella POV:

"Get up," Felix spat.

"I am." I said, stumbling to my feet.

"Bella you'll never beat me."

"You don't know me." I spat at him as I swung my fist toward his face.

"Ah, but I do," he said as he simply brushed my hand away as if it were nothing. "You're to rash." He chided.

I was furious. I threw punch after punch and he simply brushed them all off as if my arms were mere flies. After about ten minutes of this he swung his foot up, caught my chin, sending me flying across the room.

He came and hunched over me. "Bella, we're done for the day, report to Aro and we'll pick this up tomorrow." Then he simply walked out.

I stood up grimacing, not from pain but from annoyance. I had been sparing with Felix for a year and I still haven't gotten any better.

I slowly walked to Aro's office. I was always to report to him at days end, how boring. I knocked.

"Come in, Bella." I stepped through the door.

"How was sparing today?"

"I'm improving slightly at my own pace."

"Wonderful, just wonderful." He went back to reading his reports.

"Sir."

"Yes?" He said with out looking up.

"It's been a month since the last time I was out, can I take a walk?"

"Of course, just be back in an hour." He said still not looking up.

"Thank you." I then scurried out the door and out into the cold night air.

I made a beeline for the forest. I had been here before, about three months ago. I come here every month.

I broke into the clearing. It was magnificent. It had a glisteningly clear pool of water, with a cliff hanging over the edge. If I looked up I could see the moon clear as day.

I walked up to the top of the cliff as I always do. There is a stone just by the edge, a very special stone. I gazed at the stone for what seemed like eons. I then looked over the clear, blue water and I jumped in. I only did this once or twice but swimming around in the water felt good . . . it felt normal, when my life truly wasn't.

I swam for quite a while just thinking. I hadn't told anybody and no one had noticed but I was still growing. Since I left I've gotten about an inch taller. I'm not supposed to grow but I won't stop and I can't explain it. That's not the only thing that's got me weirded out. I still sleep. No one notices because I don't sleep as often. Actually it's only once a month for about three hours. No one looks for me so it's all good.

My times drawing to an end, the hour Aro had allotted me was over and I still needed to eat (I'm still a vegetarian, but my eyes stayed red). I climbed out of the water and back onto the cliff. I looked at that very special rock, with the two names etched in it.

I quickly snapped off a lock of hair delicately placing it over the names I had so excruciatingly carved into it. I kissed my fingers and let them fall to the stone.

I stood up and walked away still thinking about the names on that stone.

My last thought before I left the clearing was . . .

Happy Anniversary.
