Chapter 18-Hell hath no fury

Nicholas never came to get people personally, never. At least, never before now. I watched him walk in, slow with a smile on his face. I backed up, Lanina and Travis were beside me. We were in front of the Cullen's, there was no way I was letting Nicholas get his filthy hands on them. He'd tear them apart. " Noleen, nice to see you again." He said. I straightened my head up and smirked.

" Really? I thought you'd be a tad bitter, considering I beheaded Annebelle and all." I replied. Lanina jabbed me with her elbow. Nicholas laughed and stepped in front of me. He put his finger on my chin and stroked the skin lightly.

" Oh Noleen, so young." He murmured. He glanced behind me and smiled. " Tell me, who are your friends?"

" What friends?" Yeah, that would work Noleen.

" The ones you're protecting."

"Oh. . . Those friends. They don't concern you Nicholas, you came for me; leave them out of this."

" Do you care about them that much Noleen?" He went to walk behind me but I held my hand against his chest, keeping him there. He laughed again, his crimson eyes inspecting me. " Let me through Noleen."

" No Nicholas, I won't let you near them." His smile faded, he was losing his nerves. He growled softly, but I matched it with one of my own. " I'm not afraid of you Nicholas." What a bunch of shit, eh, lying helps in these situations.

" No?" He questioned me. He put his hand around my wrist and pushed my close to him, so his cheek was next to mine. " Remember who made you." He said. I struggled to get out of his grasp, but he was stronger than me. Edward growled and pushed Nicholas off me. My eyes opened wide, but Nicholas already had him against the wall before I could do anything.

" Leave her alone." Edward snarled.

" Or what?" Nicholas responded, wanting Edward to say the wrong thing. Wanting a reason to kill him.

" Edward, just stay out of this." I warned.

" No Noleen," He began, he looked at me quickly then turned back to Nicholas. " Leave her alone." He reiterated.

" You care about him, why?" Nicholas asked me, ignoring Edward. I grabbed at his arm, and stepped in front of Edward.

" Just. . . Just leave him alone." His eyes wandered as he scoped out the rest of the Cullen's, his eyes landed on Alice. They brightened for a moment, I'd been right. He did know her. " Don't even think about it." I told him. He looked at me in surprise. " I know you know who she is, leave her alone." I whispered. Edward gasped from behind me. I saw more vampires filter into the living room, waiting for Nicholas's orders.

" Don't think for one second you can tell me what to do Noleen." He turned to the vampires and was ready to shout an order when I flicked my knives out and whipped them at the nearest two vamps. They went down in pain. I took my gun out of the back of my pants and shot two more. Nicholas grabbed my arm and smashed it into the wall, making me drop the gun. He growled menacingly and smacked me across the face. He shoved me to the ground, I flew a couple feet before hitting the banister. Travis leaped over to me and helped me up.

" Watch Alice." I whispered. He nodded and went to run over to her. But then he stopped. " What are you waiting for?" I yelled.

" She's not in there!" He yelled back. I pushed him aside and ran into the living room. Sure enough, she was being dragged outside by two vampires I'd been unable to hit. I jumped over Nicholas and started to run outside when he grabbed my hair and yanked me back. Everyone else was busy fighting off other vampires, he'd pretty much brought a frigging army.

" LEAVE HER ALONE!" I screamed at him as I whirled around and punched him in the gut. He was unfazed by the hit and smiled.

" You will be mine, and she will be mine." He dropped me from his grasp and started to walk out of the house.

" I'll come after you Nicholas, so help me God I will hunt down your ass." I snarled as the vampires began their way out of the house. He turned to me, his eyebrow raised.

" I'm looking forward to it. Until next time." And then they were all gone. Every single one of them. I turned to the Cullen's, Jasper was on the ground sobbing. I walked over to him and fell to the floor beside him. I wrapped my body around his in a tight hug; I knew his pain.

" We'll get her Jazz, I swear we will." I whispered and rubbed his back. It felt weird to be so. . . Nice. But I'd always liked him, he was sweet to me when I'd been human. Lanina walked up to me, her face grim.

" What are we going to do?" She asked simply.

" Go to Italy, find Aro and ask him where Nicholas is. He'll tell us." I replied.

" What makes you so sure?"

" I have no clue. But it has to work." I whispered. She nodded and got on the phone. She was reserving seats. There was no way in hell I was just going to sit on my ass while Alice was with him. I knew his ways and what he did to people; she wouldn't survive it alone. She'd break down, become just this. . . Zombie. I sighed and kept my tight grip on Jasper. " We'll get her back." I whispered in his ear. " We'll get her back." Or at least we better, because hell hath no fury like a vampire scorned.

Sorry this is so-o-o short. It was mostly just a filler chapter. Next one will be MUCH longer, promise. Thanks for reading and reviewing, keep it up! Haha. Now, on to some questions!

javajunkie101- I love cliffys, sorry! haha.

Misfit band geek- Yes, I do love cliffys haha. Umm, Aro and Nicholas aren't enemies per say. He just likes Noleen more. haha.

hazeleyedhottie- no, Noleen will never probably be Bella again. She'll get a little less cold, but more or less this is who she is now. She doesn't want to change back to her old self, she likes Noleen haha.

Again, sorry it's so short. Like I said, it's one of those nasty filler chapters no one really likes to read or write. haha. Hope you liked it though!

Until next time,

Faith
