Chapter twenty-one: The beginning of revenge.

Monica's pov

"I am going to kill Mike Newton if her ever so much as looks at you the wrong way again!" Alice was seething, pacing up and down the living room at Charlie's house.

"Alice calm down. Nothing happened. I floored the guy. He won't come near me again, I'm sure of it."

Okay I'm not sure, sure. But what guy would want a repeat performance of that little stunt?

I watched Alice's face glide from one emotion to the next and back again and it almost mad me laugh.

"Fine," she huffed before throwing herself on the couch beside me. "I hope you're right, because Edward will freak out of he hears about this."

"Then don't tell him. He was upset enough with me today."

"Oh, that." Alice waved her hand in dismissal.

"What does that mean?"

"He's already over it. He was angry because you willingly put yourself in the path of that van. He figured since we are not at all certain that our lives will follow the lines of the book, that maybe we'd better not trust blindly on it to go according to plan."

I thought that over for a second and wondered if she was right. What if this wasn't the book then maybe Bella and Edward weren't really meant to be together and that idea made me really sad for a moment.

"Are you going to be okay? I think I'd better go home and inform the others. I see them becoming rather anxious in a couple of minutes."

"Sure, sure. I'll see you in school tomorrow."

Alice jumped up and gave me an awkward hug before practically skipping out of the house. I shook my head and took a couple of deep breaths.

Homework! Hooray!

I rolled my eyes and forced myself to go upstairs to get started on my homework.

Alice's pov

I ran as fast as I could but I still was met half way by Edward, who had been on his way to check on Monica.

"Hi, Eddie."

"Don't call me Eddie," he snarled.

Drama queen!

He rolled his eyes. "What happened, Alice. We were to far gone to catch any thoughts."

"Thank god, otherwise we might have a big mess to clean up."

"Alice!"

"Calm down. Nothing happened really."

"Please tell me if Monica's okay."

"She's fine."

I tried to block my thoughts, but when I saw Edward going to Monica's to check if I was telling the truth I snapped at him.

"Edward! Since when did you stop trusting my judgment? She's fine. She kneed that little creep in the balls."

I realized with a jolt what I'd just said and clapped my hand over my mouth.

Oops.

"What did he do?!"

"Uhm...nothing..."

"Alice! What did that cretin do?"

"He...er.."

I decided that showing him was better than explaining so I let my mind replay the memory. When I came to the point where Mike was bluntly staring at her chest I heard a low rumble in Edwards chest. I smirked and waited for the rest.

When he saw Mike lean in for a kiss his face turned into a furious mask, but then as I came to the point where Monica had kneed him thoroughly in the balls he lightened up slightly.

"I'll get back at him for that," he muttered.

"Damn right we are. We just need to find a good way to do it."

"What? No, Alice. I will handle Newton. No need to get you involved."

"Wait a minute! I'm already involved. In case you've forgotten, she's my friend too. I bet Emmett and Jasper would also love to help out."

"Alice, we can't drag the entire family into this. I'll do his on my own."

"What if Monica wants to help?"

"She won't want that."

"How do you know? She was the one who got harassed bu the slime ball, we should ask her."

"Fine. Call her."

I smirked and dug up my cell phone.

Monica's pov

"Hey, Alice. Did you forget something?" I asked as soon as I saw who was calling.

"No, just wanted to ask you something. I was talking to Edward about what happened."

I groaned and let my head fall back. This was not good.

"And?"

"He wants to get back at Newton for what he did."

She sounds waaay to chipper. Do I even want to know?

"Alice? What are you guys planning?"

"Not sure yet. I see different schemes with different outcomes, but I wanted to ask you if you'd like to help us think up a good prank."

I glanced at the clock. Charlie would be home in about an hour. I wouldn't have time.

"Oh. Don't worry about Charlie. He'll be working late tonight."

Damn pixie. That future stuff can sometimes be very annoying.

"Fine. I'll check to see if he doesn't mind me going over to your place."

"You can sleep over if you want!"

I heard a growl in the background and Alice speaking so fast and low that I could only make out a murmur.

"Alice?"

"Yeah, I'm here," she chirped.

"Do you know what Charlie will say to that?"

"He'll say yes. I'm hanging up now. He'll call in about two minutes. I'll make sure we have food in the house. See you soon!"

The line immediately went dead and for a second I was afraid of what might happen tonight. I tried to think of some revenge plans, but nothing really came to mind. I groaned and waited for Charlie to call and sure enough, like Alice had predicted, he called to say he was working late, probably past midnight.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, Bells?"

"Alice Cullen called me a couple of minutes ago to ask if I wanted to have a sleepover at her house. Her parents said it was okay."

"Huh. Well I think that's a good idea. I don't like to leave you alone for the entire night and I'm glad to see you've made some friends. So, I guess i's all right. Just don't stay up too late. It's a school night after all."

"Thanks, dad. Love you and be careful."

"Love you too, kiddo. Bye now."

"Bye."

With a happy sigh I bounded up the stairs to grab a bag and some clothes. When I entered my bedroom my heart nearly stopped.

A/N: I know the chapter is a bit of a filler and ends with a nasty cliffhanger, but it needs to be there. I hope to finish the next chapter tomorrow, so that should keep you hungry readers satisfied a little longer. ;

A special thanks to all my reviewers and I hope to hear from you again.
