Chapter 13

Isabella P.O.V

Another week had passed before anything happened. Whenever I'd seen Edward or Alice, I'd smirk at them, letting them know that I was still holding their secret over their heads.

For some reason, they didn't want anyone knowing that they were together. I was cool with that. It gave me ammunition. But it also caused me to work out my true feelings for Pyro in the worst possible way.

I was heading to lunch with Bobby, discussing a calculus equation, when I saw Pyro heading towards us. He was just about to reach us, when Edward jumped out from a classroom and attacked him.

I charged straight into the two, and threw Edward off Pyro, but the damage had already been done. Pyro had been bitten. I snarled at Edward, and unsheathed my claws, going down into a fighting stance. I had an advantage over him. He couldn't read my thoughts. Thank you Occlumency!

Edward growled, and took a step towards me. I copied him. I was more than ready to take him on, my daily training sessions with dad ensured that.

Edward lunged. I met him half way, with a punch to the shoulder, effectively severing his arm from his shoulder.

Edward snarled, and backed off a little bit. "Weren't expecting that, were you, Eddie-boy?" I asked. "It seems like you can't take a bit of heat, can you? You can't stand the fact that I know that you were using me to cover up the fact that you're fucking Alice on a regular basis, can you? Was that the only reason you were with me, Edward, or did you just want to figure out and control the first person you met that could block you?"

His normally topaz eyes were black and narrowed.

"You just made a big mistake, Cullen." I spat. "'Cause I aint going to let this slide. If I don't burn you, you'll be piecing yourself together for weeks to come. And then I'll rip you apart again, and then I'll burn you."

"You just got lucky, Bella. You're no match for a vampire." Edward said.

"Try me, bub." I said. I smiled a little when I realised that I was beginning to pick up habits from my dad.

Once again, Edward initiated the fight; I smirked as he came at me, trying to use his speed to his advantage, thinking that I couldn't see him. I grabbed his arm, and swung him round. I let go, and he hit a wall, and went through it. i walked in after him, to see him picking himself up, a growl ripping out of his throat.

I growled back at him. "It is you, Edward, who are no match for me. And I've only been training for two weeks. Think how good I'll be in a year. I'm not a weak human. I was never weak. I was a witch. You don't stand a chance today. Did you really think that I would let you get away with attacking someone I care for?" His eyes looked distant for a moment, and then he ran off at full vampire speed. I watched him go, and saw Alice join him at the gates, the two left the grounds together.

I ran out of the room to see Jean and Carlisle examining Pyro, who was starting to thrash.

"How is he?" I asked.

"Changing." Carlisle answered simply.

I growled. "I'll kill him. When I get my hands on Edward, he's dead meat."

"We need to get him to the infirmary, now." Jean said.

Carlisle picked Pyro up with ease, and started carrying him towards the nearest elevator.

I put my hand on Bobby's shoulder. He looked terrified for his best friend. He looked down at me. "He'll be fine. In a few days."

Just then, Dad and Victor came running round the corner, followed by several other people. "We heard fighting." Dad said.

"Edward bit Pyro." I said. "I decided to try and beat the shit out of him, he and Alice ran off. He left this behind though." I picked up the arm I'd cut off.

"Are you alright?" Dad asked.

"He didn't manage to lay a hit. I'm fine. It's Pyro I'm worried about. He's changing!"

"He'll be fine; we've seen mutants go through the change before. They don't even go through the full three days, it's half that time." Victor said.

My sensitive hearing picked up the sound of screams from the lower levels. The pain was getting to him.

There were a load of people milling around, un-able to quite comprehend what had just happened.

"Right, all of you go to lunch, there's nothing you can do here!" Dad said.

Everyone else started to disperse, except me, Bobby, dad and Victor. "You two as well." Dad said.

"But, I want to go see him." Bobby said. I nodded.

"You should go have something to eat first, and then it's up to Jean whether or not you can see him." Dad said. "He'll be awake sometime tomorrow evening."

"But daad…" I moaned.

"No buts, Isabella." Dad said gently. "Go on. You should tell the others first, before they hear it from someone else."

My shoulders slumped in defeat. "Alright." I said. Bobby nodded, and the two of us set of towards the dinning room. We got food, and sat down with our friends.

"What's going on?" Rogue asked. "What has everyone so uptight?"

"Edward Cullen attacked Pyro." Bobby said.

"He's been bitten." I added sullenly. "I should have killed that bastard."

"Don't blame yourself Isabella, that guy is a nut job." Bobby said. "He will be fine though, right?"

"Yeah." I assured. He'd better be. I thought to myself. It was then that I realised it. I really did love Pyro.
