Chapter Seven, Punch (Thanks goldenrose37)

Alice POV

"I think I have an idea." The voice wasn't mine, even though those we're the exact words I had been planning to say.

The voice continued. "Iggy, Nudge, get Layne out of here. Take her away from the whole school; we'll all meet up at Anne's. Go. Now! You to Gazzy, go with them." They left, while grumbling, like she told them to. "Fang…." The voice that belonged to Max drifted off, as the teacher sat up. Max looked at Fang. "Do you want to do the honors?" She asked him, raising one eyebrow. His lips twitched, and he motioned to Mr. Healdton, the man that had been lying on the floor, who (I'm guessing) hurt the girl.. The motion seemed to say 'Go ahead'. She grinned. "Great."

Max walked up behind the teacher, who was now getting dizzily to his feet, pulled back her arm, and WHAM! Her arm moved faster, and hit the man harder, than I'd ever seen a human do.

The sound her fist made against his shoulder was strangely pleasing. At least it was until I smelled….

His blood. Or hers. It didn't really matter. I stopped breathing and looked pointedly at Edward, who I was sure could smell it to. Is everyone okay? I thought to him, meaning the rest of the family. He gave me a tight nod, and ushered out Rose and Emmett, nodding at Jasper, who was lying on the floor… with his eyes open. He seemed to be in shock. But from what? What had happened to him?

I knew Edward wanted me to do something to help Jasper, but what? When I walked over to him, saying his name, he didn't move, and his breathing was far too slow. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with him when the girl who had punch the teacher let out a yelp, and at the same time Jasper jerked under my hands, and let out a scream... No it wasn't just him screaming it was also a girl. I looked around, unable to place the voice, until I saw her.

The girl -Layne- was lying in the same position as Jasper, screaming the same exact scream. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen, and that was saying something. If I hadn't been so worried, I probably would be laughing or staring or something. And if, you know, the situation hadn't been so serious.

But as it was, I jumped up and, strictly on instinct, I grabbed the girl. Her friends yelled at me, and tried to get me off her. I had to give it to them; they were really very persistent, and strong… but not stronger than a vampire, even a 'vegetarian' like myself.

I shook the girl in my arms, trying to make her stop screaming. I don't know why I did this. Her Jaspers screams were just so disorienting! I couldn't think of anything else, I couldn't even concentrate on seeing the how this would end, though I tried.

Her friends' yells, turned into mutters of profanity. I didn't really know why, until I realized there was no one kicking at me, and the pulling and hitting had stopped, at least for the moment. It was just me, Layne, and a bunch of half hearted curses.

After another moment of shaking her (and slapping her a few times) I turned around to find Edward holding onto the Max girl, and Carlisle holding the dark haired boy. The screaming had only started about nineteen seconds ago, and I could hear humans running this way. Esme, who had been standing worriedly between Edward and Carlisle, walked over and picked up Jasper.

"Grab the girl." Edward whispered.

I obliged, swooping her quickly up in my arms. The screams had started to quiet down, and by the time we were out the door, they were just amid whimpers. We ran as fast as we could, leaving the teacher behind to be found by the humans. He didn't matter anymore. Not with what was happening to Jasper, and this human girl Layne.

I saw Carlisle and Edward holding their hands over Max's and the boy's mouth. I watch what's passing around me, seeing every detail clearly, though a human going at this speed wouldn't be able to tell one thing from another. But I'm not human. A moment later we were at our cars, which were parked at the front of the school. Rose and Emmett were in Rose's car, and Bella was in the passenger's seat of Edwards. I jumped into the back of Rose's BMW, Layne still in my arms... Carlisle opened the door, I thought he was going to jump in to, but instead he just threw the boy in, and said to me at vampire speed, "Take him to the house, I have to go with Edward, but we will meet you there..." He ducked out of the car, and slammed the door. As soon as it was shut, Rose took off silently.

The boy, who, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure Max called Fang (what type of name is Fang?) reached for the door knob. The little idiot was going to throw himself out of a moving vehicle! One that was going at least 140 miles per hour! I tilt my head, trying not to picture him jumping out of the car just to bounce down the road… ugh, not a pretty picture. While still holding onto the girl with one arm, my other shot out, grabbing one of Fangs hands, then the other, holding them in a vice-like grip. "Don't be stupid." I tell him in a cold voice.

His eyes narrowed, ever so slightly, as he started trying to get out of my grip. I couldn't tell if he was surprised by my strength or not, his expression was only determined. Still, I was thinking that he was surprised. I might not have Jaspers ability to feel others emotions, or Edwards mind reading, but I did have common sense. For the age I'm guessing I was when I was changed, about 17, or 18, I was small. And this boy, he was tall. He wasn't big like Emmett, but more like Jasper, who was tall, and muscled, but not overly, or even, sometimes noticeably. So common sense said that this strong, tall boy could take me, the small, fragile looking girl. But logic was wrong.

He couldn't budge.

I was sitting on top of him, holding him down.

He didn't stop struggling, but I stopped paying attention, knowing he wouldn't get free. Instead I thought of Jasper and Layne, and that horrible teacher. What would have happened if Jasper hadn't been paying attention? Would any of us have noticed? I liked to think we would have but... it doesn't seem likely, I have to admit.

I didn't want to think about that anymore, so I switched my thoughts to ones having to do with the group of strange kids, including the one I was sitting on at the moment. I look down at him... He was handsome, with dark longish hair, and equally dark eyes that seemed very clever, if you asked me. And, they also were looking up at me, with an impressive amount of loathing.

He made me want to smile. I could tell he would be a very entertaining human. I didn't have a vision, just a feeling, which I'm pretty sure is still part of my power. Intuitive feelings that are right most of the time.

I took a breath, to say something to Rose and Emmett, and then I smelled him. He smelled – he smelled like an animal. I looked at Rose in the rear view mirror and said so to them with vampire speed, so that he didn't have a chance at understanding me.

As I looked down at my captive, I saw the first real emotion on his face, and it seemed so out of place there; fear.

Fang POV

Holy crap! How did she talk so fast that I can't even understand her? How is such a small person so strong? What are they, all of them? Are they with the School? Maybe they're some new, stronger, faster mutant- or maybe they aren't even the tiniest bit human. I don't really care what they are; I just need to know… are they going to hurt any of the flock? Kill them? If they kill them, I hope they kill me too.

AN: Sorry if this is a little off; it's been a while since I've updated so my facts maybe strange. I hope you like it, and I'll try to update again A LOT sooner

Thanks awesome readers, U ROCK!!!!!
