To Markiejoe: You've disabled your private messaging so I couldn't reply, so I'm doing it here instead :)
While I do appreciate the ideas you've shared, I have too many planned fics as it is, so there's little room for another, however, if you're on Facebook, there's a nice group on there called Twi-Fic Plot Bunny Farm. If you put your ideas in there, someone else might feel compelled to pic them up :D
Okay, now, that's the end of the peace!

Chapter 91
"Edward! Bella!"
Bella shot to her feet and was already running toward the sound of Tanya calling for them. She and Edward exchanged a worried look as they could both hear the panic in her voice.
"Tanya, what's wrong?" Edward asked when they found her in the sitting area. She was holding her phone and her eyes were wide with uncontrolled terror.
Bella gently pried the phone away from Tanya's grip so she wouldn't crumble it into scraps. "Talk to us."
"Alice called," she said. "She had a vision of Victoria."
"What did she see?"
Tanya looked at Edward and his expression smoothed out when he read her thoughts. "They won't make it here in time."
"What is she talking about?" Bella asked and looked to Edward.
"She's here," he said in whispered tones. "And she's not alone."
Bella's stomach sank and she instinctively looked toward the window, almost expecting Victoria to stand outside and wave at her. "But how did she find out where we are?"
Edward went into action and grabbed Bella's hand in his. She allowed him to drag her with him down the stairs toward the basement where she'd spent her time during the change. "She knew it was a trap. I don't know how she figured it out, but she knew, and she followed us here."
"And she allowed me to be changed?" Bella asked, confused why she didn't take the chance when she had it.
He stopped and put his hands on her cheeks. "Victoria's sadistic. She takes pleasure in other people's pain. Giving me the hope of spending forever with you only to kill you shortly after would be the ultimate revenge."
"So what are we supposed to do now?"
"You will stay right—" The rest of the sentence died in his mouth when he registered the new set of thoughts, not outside the house, but inside it. "Fuck," he cursed and pushed Bella behind him. "You must be very pleased with yourself," he called out, and Bella could hear the soft, prowling step approach them from around the corner.
She was there, in the basement, with them.
"If you had been less predicable, then yes, I would have been proud," Victoria answered in a voice Bella had not expected from such a cat-like woman. She sounded more like a young girl. "But the second your precious little mate told Daddy Cop about your adventure, I knew you would make a run for it."
Bella growled at the thought of Victoria anywhere near Charlie. "If you touched a single hair on him—" she warned, but it only caused Victoria to laugh.
"You'll do what? You think I don't know how to handle newborns? You're barely out of the cradle, little girl."
When Bella moved to claw her eyes out or at the very least tear her flaming orange hair from her scalp, Edward stopped her. "Don't let her get a rise out of you," he cautioned her, and Victoria grinned in response.
"Come on... Bella. Show me you can fight your own battles just once."
