The buildings, the people, everything blurred as Zara ran at the speed of light. Within a minute, she reached the centre of the dense forest. She came to a stand still. As Zara looked around she felt weird. She felt like something was wrong.

"Emmett," she called. Her voice echoed back but she couldn't see or hear Emmett. Worry built in the depths of Zara. She tried again and again but still no reply. She took a deep breath, hoping to find traces of his scent. Her breath was caught in her throat. She smelt Rosalie. A cold shiver ran up her spine. Oh no! This can't be good.

Back at the Cullen mansion, as Alice and Jasper were about to leave Emmett arrived.

"Hey guys… where are you going?" asked Emmett.

"No! You were supposed to be with Zara!" shouted Alice.

"Which is why I came to pick her up!" replied Emmett.

"Fuck's sake," muttered Jasper as he gently massaged his temples. "We've got to go now or else matter will get worse. We need to find Zara. Now."

"Alright, let's go," agreed Emmett.

As Emmett, Jasper along with Alice followed Zara's scent which was fading quickly.

Rosalie cackled loudly. "Aww, poor weak little Zara. Where's your Emmy bear now?" She gave Zara a scrutinized look. "He was should have been mine. Never once did he pay attention to me. Now he will pay."

"What have I done? Why are you taking this out on me?" asked Zara as she stepped back.

"What haven't you done?" said Rosalie as she pointed at Zara and gave her a lot of attitude. "All these years you kept reappearing but I went and finished you off before Emmett could even get a glance at you. This time he saw you before I did. I thought you outwitted me. Not for long."

"What…what do you mean?" asked Zara as fear shook her. Rosalie stared behind Zara. Zara looked back and gasped. Edward stood there leaning against a tree with his arms folded. "Edward."

"Hey Zara," smirked Edward. Zara looked at him, hoping he would help her. But the smirk on his face grew. "Don't worry Zara, I won't let you escape," he said in a patronizing tone.

Zara's eyes became wide with horror. She then closed her eyes and silently prayed for Emmett to come quickly.

"Now, now, fallen asleep already," smirked Rosalie. "But there is so much more that I want to say."

"Fine bitch, get it over with," sighed Zara.

"Touché," said Rosalie. "It's time to settle the scores. The Cullen crew were there all the time or else you would have been dead a long time ago."

"Great now's your chance," said Zara as she rolled her eyes.

Rosalie strolled towards her. Edward stood there where he was, admiring her oscillating stride.

"You're right," said Rosalie as she punched Zara on the face.

Zara just in time dodges it and kick Rosalie in the stomach. Rosalie groans in pain.

"Emmett doesn't like you. He hates you. You are just some fling," taunted Rosalie.

The catfight was still happening in full swing. Zara punched this time and Rosalie dodged. She kept trying. "That is a lie." Rosalie kept dodging and punched Zara instead.

"Oh yeah, then why is it that he hasn't made love to you yet," Rosalie said in sharp stabbing tone.

Edward laughed loudly and called, "You bloody virgin. Too scared Emmett's gonna crush you." He was still standing far, too far to see the spectacle. He was just there to take his girlfriend home once she had won the fight. Nothing much. He didn't actually care about the fight. He already knew Zara was not trained in fighting a vampire. So Edward knew Rosalie would win by a landslide.

"We truly love each other. We're not fuck buddies like you two," snapped Zara.

"But that little Zara is the thing. If he did love you then you would make love. But he hasn't so maybe he doesn't love you after all," Rosalie said.

Emmett looked at Alice and asked, "Will Edward hear our thoughts?"

The worry in his voice suddenly made Emmett seem childlike.

"No," replied Alice as they leaped across the land.

"Almost there," said Jasper.

Zara stood still and thought about what Rosalie. During those moments Rosalie flung her to a large distance. Zara collided with jagged branches. Her hair was in disarray. Her clothes were torn. She took two deep breaths then she stopped breathing.

"Aww poor little Zara," sneered Rosalie. "Get up you bitch."

Zara still did not move. Was she dead? But wait she's a vampire so she can't die by being flung in a tree. Can she?

"Zara," called Rosalie as she inched closer and closer until she was almost an inch away. She was worried now. What's wrong with this bitch?

"Zara," called Rosalie.

Three.

"Zara," she said again.

Two.

"Zara" she said in a quiet voice.

One.
