Hey everyone! Here is another update, this one is a little shorter but I hope that everyone likes it. This chapter is lighter and I hope that everyone likes this chapter. :D Thank you for reading, for the reviews and everything else. Things should start coming together and moving faster in the next few chapters, which I think will be a lot of fun. :D I will let you get to the new chapter.
Enjoy!

Everyone is standing around me, waiting for me to make a move. After only a few days of practicing you'd think that they'd expect less out of me, of course they expect me to be able to beat them; all of them. I shake my head a few times and re-think Edward's question, "Who do you want to fight first?". My eyes flicker around and I try to decide who would go the easiest on me, of course I don't think any of them besides Edward would. Why is this such a hard choice to make? Shouldn't it be easy? It's not like anyone is here to kill me. Quickly, I decide to put together a list in my mind to help me choose who I should pick. Of course, all of the eyes on me doesn't help me with my list, so I attempt to ignore them.
Rosalie-looks too focused on not messing up her outfit and hair. If I messed either of those things up, I think that fight would turn into a real one. She looks like she'd be one of the easiest ones, but I know about what happened to her and that she can be vicious. After seeing her fight the wolves, I will never underestimate her. My eyes flicker down to her nails, she just did her nails too-a dark red and they look razor sharp-Bella! Remember, you're a vampire now too! She can't hurt you physically.
Emmett-four simple words to sum this one up. No. Way. In. Hell.
Alice-she'd probably go easy on me, but have a little too much fun with it. Her moves are all graceful and ballet like, making her fighting better. I can imagine it already, me jumping and lunging at her, while she dances circles around the clearing.
Jasper-now he wouldn't go easy on me, after all this is his specialty-so why should he? He'd challenge me in every way that he could think of and I'd end up against a tree or on the ground in a matter of seconds. I don't know which one would be worse: Emmett throwing me around like a rag doll or Jasper putting me into the ground. It would be too easy for either of them.
Edward-hm...I'll save that practice for later.
Esme and Carlisle-they would both go easy on me, but want me to learn at the same time. Maybe one of them would be best? They wouldn't want to embarrasses me or throw me around, just for fun.
"Come on, Bella! Just practice with me, it'll be fun." Emmett hops forward and I stare at him, my eyes narrowing into slits. I shake my head and his smile wides. "Bella, look at it this way you get to practice and you're stronger than any of us. This will be easy for you and I'll go easy on you. We'll have a little fun and who knows, maybe you'll beat me up!"
"Fine, but the second that you start throwing me around like a rag doll I want Jasper and Edward to throw you around. Sound good?" He smirks as I take a step toward him and try to think of the best way to do this. My mind is racing as Emmett stands there, smiling away. "You go first. Come on Emmett, are you afraid?"
A second later he lunges at me and I step out of the way, turning I jump on his back. My arms lock around his neck and my legs push into his back. Emmett lets out a chuckle and falls back, onto the ground. I throw him off of me and see everyone else standing there, watching on in shock. Sinking down into a crouch, I growl as I lunge at Emmett and this time I miss him. His hands wrap around my wrist and he holds me up against a tree. Feeling trapped I push against the tree and it gives way, shocking Emmett long enough that I have the time to get the upper hand.
His face is pushed into the dirt and I stand on him, jumping on his back. A few seconds later, I'm on the ground and Emmett smirks at me. He picks me up, carrying me away. My eyes flicker to the ground and I grip onto him, screaming as he tries to throw me into the mud. I pull him down with me and mud splatters every where. I jump on him and push him down in the mud, as deep as he can go.
"Bella, come on. Let's get out of there. I think that you two had a good run," says Edward, from my right. Quickly, I let go of Emmett and run over to him. He moves away from me, smiling as he gestures to me and the mud that I'm caked in. "Emmett, don't you-"
Mud goes flying and the next thing that I know, everyone is some how involved in it. Alice and Jasper are laughing as they throw mud at Emmett, while Carlisle and Esme run off-trying not to get hit by the mud and Rosalie jumps at Emmett, screaming about mud in her hair. Edward's arms wrap around my waist and we fall into the mud, kissing as we land on our sides.
"How did all of this start? Oh right, you agreed to fight Emmett first and it looks like that's all the training that you'll be getting today." Edward stands up and pulls me with him, I kiss him lightly on the lips. A ball of mud slams into our faces and we look over at Emmett. "That's it, he's getting it. Bella, would you mind going over there and 'fighting' with him? Just for a few minutes?"
I run over to Emmett and jump at him, knocking him down into the mud. He chuckles as I slam a handful of mud into his face. The next thing that I know, we are both being hit with more mud and I look up in time to see Edward smiling. Shaking my head, I stand up and run at him. Edward easily sidesteps and I miss him, but his arms wrap around my waist and we fall to the ground.
I giggle as Edward kisses me. "Well, this was a productive training session. Don't you think?"
"Oh, yeah it was productive alright. Look at all of us, everyone is covered in mud," says Edward, with a light chuckle. His fingers run through my hair and his lips are glued to mine. "Maybe we should head back to the house and get washed off. We can do what we did that one time, minus Emmett and everyone else of course."
"That sounds good to me," I whisper against his lips. We stand up and he picks me up in his arms, making me laugh. Even as a vampire it seems he'll always want to carry me. "You know, I can run now too and you still treat me like a human. I...love it."
A light drizzle starts before we reach the house and its torrential down pour by the time we are at the front door. My arms are wrapped around his neck and I change positions, wrapping my legs around his waist. Light moans escape from both of our mouths and I feel my back pressed up against a wall. We better not break this house, I really like it and we already broke a bed-that's good enough for me.
Someone clears their throat and we break apart. If I could be red in the face right now, I would be as I stare at the figure standing in the doorway. Edward sets my feet down on the floor and tries to brush it off, which is not going to be easy. We both try to find a way out of this as I notice two people behind him, oh this is not going to end good.
A little less then usual, but I wanted to end it there. Who do you think is there? Haha, I can tell you that its probably not who you think it is. :D Hope all of you liked it! Thank you for reading and please leave a review!
~I will go into more detail about some of the wolves not being able to phase and soon. The venom is killing them, but slowly and its aging them. They can't phase because of the venom, if they phase it will kill them instantly-at least that's what everyone is thinking, no one has tried it yet. In a few chapters it will be put to the test and we'll see what happens. :D If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them the best that I can, but I promise that in the next fee chapters there will be more about the wolves and the phasing.
