CHAPTER 4

It all happened so fast. One minute we had clothes and the next we didn't. I knew where this was going and I'll admit that I was a little scared. I was really thankful though when there was a knock at the door. We both quickly put our clothes back on and answered the door. Alice was standing in the doorway with a letter in her hands.

"You better read this" Alice said, handing me the letter.

Edward hand one side of the paper and I had mine on the other. We read the letter in rapid speed. But I reread it just because I didn't want to believe it.

Dear Bella,

Hello my dear. How are you and your boyfriend? I hope you're enjoying the last few days you'll have with him because after I'm done with you, you won't be able to spend anymore time with him. You know why that is? It's because you'll be dead. I will regret doing this to you but if I can't have you then no one can. Well I will see you on your day of doom. Until then my love.

Can't wait to kill you,
Mark

I couldn't believe it. Mark was going to try and kill me. I could feel Edward's rage just by standing next to him. I was afraid for myself but I was also afraid for Mark.

"Bella, What are you going to do" Alice asked as I set the letter down on a desk.

"I don't know. I don't want you guys to fight this battle for me so I guess I'm going to fight him" Alice and Edward looked at each other and then they both looked at me. I knew that they thought this wasn't a good idea.

"Bella, you may have gotten a lot stronger with you being changed and all but I don't think you could take on Mark" I knew Edward wasn't trying to be mean but I won't lie and say that it didn't hurt.

"Then teach me to fight" both of them looked shocked when I said this.

"I want to learn. I want to fight. I can't hide for ever you know" I really wanted to learn.

"Are you sure" Edward asked. I nodded my head and gulped. I wasn't sure how hard this was going to be.

"Then lets start now" he got into his crouch position and I knew what he was going to do. He leapt at me but he just he missed. I moved out of his way before he got to me.

"How'd you do that" Alice asked. Obviously I didn't know I could do that either.

"I don't know. I just saw him get into his position and in my head I saw where he was going to pounce and it all just went from there" Edward looked at me and then looked at Alice and smiled.

"We've found her gift" he said with a smile. I just looked at both of them with confused eyes.

"You can see an opponent's move before he or she does it. You can kind of see into the future but only like a minute or so. This could be a great advantage against Mark" I just smiled.

Edward and Emmet spent the next few days training me. Emmet used his strength to make me tougher. When he'd hit me with his full force I'd only move back and inch and it didn't hurt at all. He also was teaching me how to hit harder.

Edward worked with me on my hitting accuracy. He would use his speed so that it made it more difficult for me to land a punch on him. Whenever I did though I sent him flying. Emmet's lessons were working.

With each day that passed my lessons got easier. I was a fast learner. I was landing a lot more punches on Edward and I could send Emmet flying backwards almost ten yards. I knew that I was ready. So did Edward. So we both just waited for that day. The day that it all came down to.

Wow. Is Edward really going to let bella fight mark alone? or does he have a plan? only a couple more chapters left people. hope you've enjoyed this so far.
