CHAPTER THREE
After the incident with James Bella had decided to explore the city from the air she wanted to get used to web swinging, that's what she was doing when she heard a scream she looked down to see a girl being mugged, three guys were around her taunting her, Bella landed silently behind them watching the scene with amusement.
"How many guys does it take to rob a woman?" She asked outloud, the three guys turned to her quickly their knives now pointing at her.
"Get lost freak!" One shouted Bella tutted and used her web shot to knock the knife out of his hand he looked shaken now which made Bella smirk beneath her mask.
"That's not nice now is it so why dont you take me on instead of this lovely woman" They had forgotten about the woman they were trying to mug and made a circle around Bella, she sighed as the first one attacked she easily over powered him and he was in a heap on the floor, the other two decided they had better not take her on and went to runaway but she wasnt letting them go that easily, she made a web caccoon for all three keeping them in place she turned to the woman.
"You should phone the police then head home" with that she began web swinging home.
Bella had landed through her window with ease her dad was in work again so it was just her, she took off her costume and got into shorts and a shirt she looked out her window to see Rosalie with James he looked scared she had really gotten to him Rosalie had cut him off by kissing him, Bella gulped she couldnt watch it anymore she had hoped that Rosalie would dump him but it had the opposite affect.
Bella's phone rang she looked at the ID and saw it was Edward, "Hey" she began.
"Hey Bella turn on the news" Edward said she did as she was told and she saw it was the scene were she left the muggers she smirked at her handy work "what do you think did that?" Edward asked.
"Probably just a nerd" Bella replied shutting off her TV she didnt need to see the rest of it "i wouldnt think anything of it Edward"
"Yeah but James came home today really freaked out, said some girl ina costume had threatened him" Bella rolled her eyes 'I didnt threaten him' she thought to herself 'pansy' she added laughing to herself,
"Well I have no sympathy the guy is a douche always has been" she replied she looked over to the window again and saw that Rosalie was staring right at her, Bella gulped Rosalie motioned for her backgarden and she understood.
"Listen I have to go, talk to you later" she hung up without waiting for a reply and made her way downstairs.
Rosalie was already on her porch when Bella went outside "what happened to James?" Rosalie asked Bella had to be cool she couldnt let Rosalie know that she had hurt her boyfriend.
"What you on about?" Bella asked casually Rosalie glared at her.
"Dont lie to me Bella what happened? Why does he have a black eye and split lip?" Rosalie demanded Bella shrugged.
"How am I suppose to know?" Bella replied Rosalie growled a little at the answer "i'm five foot nothing he is much taller compared to me so how am I suppose to beat him up?" Bella asked
"Well you got one of your friends to help him" Rosalie argued Bella stood still she didnt move a muscle.
"If you hadnt noticed I only have one friend in this school and that is his brother who i'm sure wouldnt beat James up even if he a douche" with that Bella walked back inside her house leaving Rosalie to think about what she had said.
The next day in school many were surprised to see James all over Rosalie Edward was stood with Bella watching the pair "I dont get it what made him change?" Edward asked Bella just shrugged and looked away putting her books away.
"Maybe hes changed" Bella suggested she heard Edward snort at the comment "what?" She asked looking at him.
"James will never change Bella last night he came back and was ringing a girl for a bit of fun, my brother hasnt changed in the slightest" he hadnt noticed Bella stiffen at the mention of James cheating on Rosalie she slammed her locker a bit harder than she intended when she looked away she saw Rosalie staring at her.
"Well more fool her then" Bella mumbled and walked to her next class with Edward following her still talking about James.
The one good thing Bella found about her new abilities was the web swinging she found it soothing just looking down at the city from above, thats what she was doing when she heard police sirens she found the location of the cars and began following them.
A man was holding a hostage screaming for a car to help get away, the police surrounded them with their weapons pointed Bella watched from the roof she wasnt really sure what to do but she just went on insitinct, she dropped silently behind the gun man and tapped him on the shoulder, he seemed surprised and had let the hostage go, the girl ran away to the police who helped her to safety.
"What the hell are you meant to be?" He asked taking in her outfit smirking Bella rolled her eyes from behind her mask.
"Doesnt concern you, the only thing that does is how your gonna feel when you get your ass handed to you" Bella replied there was a glint in the mans eye.
"Your a chick?! You dont stand a chance" to prove she didnt he tried to punch her, she saw it a mile away and managed to dodge it quickly she stood straight again and looked at him, he didnt look happy so he went faster making stupid mistakes, all Bella did was dodge them not really fighting back until she got bored and she caught his wrist and twisted it, she heard the bone break and him screaming for her to let him go she didnt she waited till he was on his knees.
Bella noticed the police making their way slowly towards them their guns pointed at the pair of them 'I just saved that womans life!' she thought to herself, she knew the bad guy wasnt going anywhere, quickly she shot a web out and swung away before they could get to her.
Bella found a quiet place to think she couldnt believe they wanted to take her in too she sighed taking off her mask and looking at it, she wasnt really surprised most people didnt understand the weird or things they couldnt explain she could get use to living in the shadows when the city needed saving.
Bella could hear more sirens but this time there was a few of them frowning Bella put her mask back on and went to the scene.
When she arrived she saw what appeared to be a large lizard Bella landed softly in front of the lizard it looked at her snarling.
"Now arent you an ugly fucker" Bella said the lizard growled and ran at her she quickly jumped in the air and landed behind it, the lizard turned and looked at her licking its lips.
"what are you?" The lizard asked, that stunned Bella it could speak? It seemed to be a male and had a slight french accent.
"I think the quesiton is what are you?!" She replied it was too late though that split second of amazement had cost her, the lizard was running at her whilst she was replying, it knocked into her full force Bella groaned as she flew into the wall as she got up the lizard had grabbed her and threw her once again into the road she could tell her ribs were broken from the impact.
The lizard was on her once again but a shot had distracted it, Bella looked over to see the armed police had surrounded them their weapons pointed at the lizard Bella struggled to get up but once she was on her feet the lizard had spat out an acid like liquid at the police, thinking quickly Bella had used her web to make a shield, the acid bounced off the web and landed on the floor.
By the time the commotion had ended the Lizard had gone, Bella looked round a big thing like that wouldnt have gone far it was then she noticed the cover for the sewer was being put back down quietly she had to remember to take a look down there at some point.
Bella quickly remembered the police their weapons now on her Bella looked around quickly smirking she shot her web and managed to escape.
It was very painful by the time Bella got to her room, she was glad she left the window open now she took off her costume and looked at the damage in the mirror, she was bruised badly she groaned when she moved the wrong way, her ribs were definatly broken quickly she put her clothes in her bag and put it away before slipping on some joggers and a shirt, she looked out the window to see Rosalie doing her homework she looked pretty in the sun Bella smiled to herself and looked away before Rosalie caught her.
Bella had decided to cook dinner for her dad for when he got home, she was just making a pasta bake it didnt take much work and should leave it too cook whilst she got her homework done.
Dinner was ready by the time her dad got home, he hung his stuff up and kissed her on the head as she settled for his dinner, "so how has school been?" Charlie asked as he dug in to his food.
"Its been the same as usual" Bella replied eating slowly.
"I was talking to Carlisle yesterday says his son was attacked by some girl" Charlie said casually, he didnt notice Bella stiffen "something about him needing to apologise to Rose" he added.
"Oh did he? Well I'm not going to say he didnt deserve it, he probably did" she replied stuffing her mouth so she couldnt talk anymore.
"Why?" Charlie asked Bella knew he would ask something like that he didnt know much about the eldest Cullen he only knew the rest because Bella's best friend was Edward and he had met his parents when they came for dinner but James he seemed like a bad lad.
"He is a douche always has been and he treats Rosalie so badly" Bella mumbled into her food. She missed Charlie smirking at her reply.
"He does seem out of her league I mean she is stunning could be a model" Bella looked at him glaring "Bell's do you have a crush on her?" He asked softly Bella blushed but didnt say anything else.
They were interupted by a knock at the door, Charlie stood to answer it "why hello Tanya are you ok?" He said letting her in, Tanya Hale was Rosalie and Jaspers aunt their parents died in a car crash years ago and Tanya their mums sister took them in, Tanya walked in as Bella stood.
"Hey sorry just drop by like this but I was wondering if I could talk to you Bella?" Tanya asked Bella looked at Charlie who had grabbed his coat.
"I will leave you two ladies too it for a bit" with that he walked out probably to the station or the pub to see his mates for a bit.
"Hello" Bella began and offered Tanya a seat, Tanya sat down and smiled "what is this about?" Bella asked.
"It's about Rosalie" Tanya began "well her and James really" she stopped again Bella nodded and waited for her to finish.
"I dont really know them as a couple Miss Hale" Bella replied suddenly "I mean me and Rosalie we arent friends really" she shrugged.
"Bella i've seen you two on the porch a few times, anyway that isnt the point what I mean is I saw a bruise on her face" Bella held her breath "does James hit her?" Tanya sounded so heart broken when she asked, it was like Bella was her last resort to find out what happened Bella gulped and licked her lips.
"I dont know I wasnt there but she had a bruise and a cut lip she didnt mention James doing it just something about him not liking her wearing my jacket" Bella replied, she was being honest but not giving Tanya really anything to go on Tanya sobbed Bella moved from her seat and pulled the woman into a hug and let her cry.
For an hour the pair sat in silence as Tanya calmed down she pulled back and wiped her face with a tissue Bella gave her "Thanks" she whispered "I dont know what to do" she sighed.
"Dont worry i'm sure it will all work out for the best" Bella told her Tanya nodded and stood up.
"Thank you for being honest with me I just hope she see's sense soon" with that Tanya left the house, Bella made sure she got in safely she needed to let off steam with that thought in mind she ran upstairs to her and threw on her suit she made sure to leave a note and that everything was locked up she then carefully left the house web swinging into the city.
Bella looked down at the city from the tallest building there, it looked busy but tiny at the same time it amazed her. Closing her eyes Bella let herself fall from the roof, she could feel the wind rushing around her, she felt so free and careless slowing she opened her eyes to see she was getting near to the ground in a quick motion she shot a web and caught a lamp post and stopped just before she hit the ground, Bella let go of the web and landed on her feet.
Bella stretched herself out and began walking to the nearest building to climb up and thats when she heard it, a scream coming from the alley next to her, she peered round the corner she saw four big guys circling a blond girl who was clutching her bag tightly to her chest as she focussed she realised the girl was Rose.
Bella's eyes widened and quickly moved through the alley to save her, she picked up the lid from a bin and with careful aim she threw it like a frizbee and it landed in the back of the head of one of the guys, they all stood shocked as he fell to the floor unconcious Bella smirked she used this distraction to use her webs to tie the other two up leaving just one for her to take on.
The guy took the scene before him, he quickly grabbed his knife and attacked Bella missed most of the attacks but when she heard the gasp from Rose she had to check on her, that was when he struck, the guy sliced her stomach smirking in triumph as Bella clutched to the wound. The guy took the oppurtunity to run and left his mates behind.
Rosalie wasnt sure what to think or do, this girl just saved her life she quickly grabbed spider girl to stop her from falling to the ground and helped stand her up.
"Dont be worrying about me, are you alright?" Spider girl asked Rose nodded "it will be healed in a couple of hours being a freak and all" she chuckled.
"I dont think you are" Rosalie replied looking at the wound which had stopped bleeding already "I'm fine just a bit shook up"
"Why were you out this late?" She asked Rosalie blushed and looked away.
"My friend and I got into a fight I was on my way to the shop to get her a i'm sorry gift, I was a bit insensitive towards her" Spider girl nodded and leant against the wall "i accused her of hitting my boyfriend or getting one of her friends to do it, she pointed out that the only friend she had was my boyfriends brother who wouldnt hit him even if he was a douche" Rosalie finished with a small smile.
"Right well I think it was a bit stupid to not wait till morning" Spidergirl replied folding her arms across her chest "but i'm sure she will forgive you" she added softly then she moved away from the wall and stretched.
"I hope she does she is really cool you know, I feel like I can talk to her about anything and she wouldnt judge me" Rose replied smiling to herself.
"What's her name?" Spidergirl asked curiously.
"Bella Swan"
"I know her, she told me about some guy who had beat his girlfriend I offered to sort him out but she told me leave it, safe to say I didnt and I scared the shit out of him" she paused for a second "your Rosalie Hale arent you?" She asked Rose who was too shocked to say anything just nodded.
"What did you do to him?" Rosalie asked.
"I hit him then let him dangle from the edge of a building" Spider girl replied with a shrug "has he been good to you?" She asked Rosalie only nodded "good other wise I would have to pay him another visit" Rosalie blushed "come on lets get you home" Spider girl held out her hands so she could pick Rosalie up when she did she made sure that Rosalie was holding on tight then she was web swinging her home.
AN: there you go another chapter done, can you guess who the lizard is? He is not the main bad guy the main bad guy will be the green goblin i've just got to decide who will be him, who do you think it should be?
