*Disclaimer* Hello, people! Im really really sorrry i've been taking so long, but college is a bitch just so you know...and college applications are worse...but at least i finally got this chapter up! :)

so, anyways, i'm really sorry it took so long but here's chapter 5 and i'll try making chapter 6 come faster, i promse :)

so without further ado, CHAPTER 5! oh, and go review for me, por favor!

He was starting to think he might get lucky tonight. Sure, it might be a little kinky to do it outside in the woods, but he doubted he would mind once she got him started. Not breaking stride with the heavy make out session they were having, Victoria slammed him against a tree with a little too much force.

The only thing that he would get lucky about tonight was that he would walk away without a serious concussion. "Are you alright?" She asked, keeping just the right amount of concern in her voice as not to sound bored.

"Yeah, I think so. You know, this kind of thing wouldn't happen if I was a vampire." He didn't see her eyes roll at his suggestion. He was just her back up plan in case Riley didn't come through for her. One of them as a vampire was enough for now.

But, of course, she couldn't tell him that. "Soon, my darling. Soon…"

I Am So Not An Imprint. I'm Totally Switzerland.

"Bella…Beeelllllaaaaaa…Beeeelllllllaaaaaaa…" The last bits of my latest dream with Edward's voice were falling away from me because of the sudden assault on me. "BELLA! WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!" That was definitely not Edward's voice. I didn't want to talk to the voice it actually belonged to right now. He would just harsh my dream-induced mellow. "BELLA, BRITNEY'S COMING HERE IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

I bet Alec would be a lot happier if he could dream like I do.

I gave him the best advice I could think of. "Hit me, baby, one more time…" I mumbled under my covers. I doubt he knows who Britney Spears is, but maybe he'll understand that it's far too early for me to deal with him. Especially since Alice should be coming by as well to talk to me about something. Or it might just be because she doesn't want to be around the Tanya/Edward cuteness.

Great, now I'm in a bad mood.

"OW!" I was surprised when I actually was hit, hopefully not as hard as he could have, on my shoulder by Alec. "What was that for?"

"Because you told me to!" Alec did not look very good at all. His hair, while usually completely together, was shooting out in all directions like he'd tried to pull it out. His clothes were still dirty from what looked like his last hunting trip. He didn't even bother to get the mud off of his shoes! And I'm pretty sure if he wasn't a vampire, his eyes probably would have been bloodshot. Good grief, what is his deal? "But why did you call me 'baby'?"

I just groaned and plopped back on my back again. "It's a song, you dope. Now I'm going to have a massive bruise on my shoulder and I'm wearing a strapless dress for graduation. Thanks a lot!"

Alec shocked me again by grabbing my shoulders and pulling me up to a seated position. Oh, he's asking for it if he thinks I'm up to this level of intensity this early. "Bella, she's coming."

I rolled my eyes. I really do need to get him away from Edward. It's starting to affect his attitude a little too much. "Duh! I've known she was coming since I met her." Wait, who's he talking about again? I just want to go back to sleep and dream about Edward some more.

Alec's having a legitimate meltdown. "WHAT? How did you know and not tell me? She could get hurt or killed with everything that's going on around here!"

Okay, I have no idea who Alec is talking about, but if he's talking about Victoria I only have one thing to say. "Alec, she will die. That's sort of the point."

Oh my God! He looks like he's about to cry! "I don't want to live like Marcus, Bella. She can't die."

"Why in God's name would you die if she dies? She's a bitch!"

Alec threw me a confused look. "Wait, who are you talking about?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Britney!"

"Oh, whoops! Disregard all of that stuff then…I thought you were talking about Victoria." Alec looks like he's about ready to hurt me a lot worse than his little tap on my shoulder did. "My bad."

Before Alec could actually decide how to use his years with the Volturi to his advantage against me, we were interrupted by the second (or third?) vampire to enter my house tonight. "Morning, Bella! Morning, Alec! Oh my goodness, Alec you look terrible!"

"Good morning to you too, Alice." Alec said stiffly.

Alice climbed through my window and brushed some of the dirt off of Alec's shirt. "You should go back to the house and clean up before ranting about Britney to Bella. She's just going to tell you to 'cool it' and that you're going to have to work out your problems with Britney because she can't control Britney's decisions." Wow, that was what I was going to tell him! Duh, Alice is psychic. "Plus, I have to talk to Bella. Did you get my note?" She asked me. Alec sort of hung back around the window, but he didn't leave. He obviously wasn't finished talking to me.

I finally got up and started to put on some sort of outfit for school. Since I apparently have to stun Edward with my beauty, I should always look 'hot' at school according to Ava. Alice probably wouldn't approve of what I had in mind, but that won't exactly stop me. "Don't you already know the answer to that?"

Alice grinned at me. "Of course, but I thought I would be polite and ask."

I'm still not exactly happy with her because she refused to tell me anything about the nature of Tanya's visit. I'll just have to be a little more snarky than usual. "Hmm, trying something new, are you?"

I suppose Alice caught wind of my decision to be angry with her. "Ouch. Just because I don't want to tell you about Tanya doesn't mean you have to be so rude. I actually came because I've had about enough of her anyway."

"I know, Alice. That's what you put in the note you gave me. And, by the way, why won't you tell me about her? I thought you were my friend." Pulling the friend card should garner some sympathy from her. At least I hope so before my frustration gets the better of me.

Yes, it's working. Alice looked pretty remorseful. "Bella, I am your friend."

Never mind, that frustration thing is definitely going into overdrive. "Then why can't you give me something that can help me figure out what the heck is going on here?" Alec, still in the corner, was moving his head back and forth as Alice and I went back and forth.

"Because…" Oh, Alice did not plan how to handle this very well, "it would ruin everything! You can't know anything because then everything would be ruined. Yeah, that's it. I'm sorry, Bella, I know this is all confusing but if you really want everything to turn out good, then I can't tell you right now what's happening.

Alec is going to be scared of me after this. I should be able to intimidate Jane from the Volturi when I'm this angry. "What did you see?"

Alice looked completely innocent. "What do you mean?"

"Alice, tell me, please." I grabbed her shoulders just so I could look her in the eyes.

Bad idea.

Something even more so out of the ordinary happened when my hands made contact. I have no idea how this is all happening, but I have a pretty solid idea that my shielding power is a lot more awesome than Book Bella's was.

Emmett, Angel, and Rosalie were all holding someone down on the ground. They were all in my room! Alice was standing by the door, watching. Watching what? Ava was shouting orders left and right, but no one was listening because of the thrashing figure that had one of my red shirts in his hand. He wasn't ready to give up anytime soon, but they all had him overpowered. Jasper jumped in the window and things calmed down immediately. The figure stopped moving around and just let out defeated sighs. Alice's head snapped up a second before voices came up the stairs. "Edward, stop!" A thump on the door made the entire operation inside move ten times faster until they all got the figure out of the house through the window. "You can't go in there…I've got bras all over the floor…and I think Seth might be making out with someone in there!" Wait, is that my voice?

Alec decided to separate Alice and me when my completely blank expression didn't go away after a minute. "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know what happened. You saw what happened. She just…touched my shoulders…and then…" Alice was freaking out outside almost as much as I was inside. If I moved again, I think I might hyperventilate.

"I think I saw the future…"

What a way to start off the day, huh? I mean, first I was visited by a maybe-dream Edward, then I was attacked by Alec about his girlfriend's travel arrangements, and then I see the future. I pretty much found out that along with my shield come the totally awesome gifts of persuasion, mind-reading, and future-seeing along with being a shield.

Well, at least I can say that I'm really unique from book Bella.

Needless to say, Alice didn't come to school with me. She didn't come to school period. She went straight to Carlisle to throw some theories around about what exactly I am shield-wise. I didn't want to go with her, so I went to school.

Simple as that.

I went to school like it was a normal day just like any other. Because, to everyone including me, it was. I just knew there was going to be some sort of fight in my bedroom. Somehow, I knew what was going to happen. But, if I treated today like any other day when I didn't know that there was going to be a huge fight in my bedroom that took the entire Cullen family to handle and that I had to keep Edward out of it somehow, then possibly I could keep the bubble of hysteria in my chest from building up too much.

Apparently, something in my face gave away what I was feeling inside because I was assaulted a second later by my short blonde friend. "So, how was the trip with Ali—where's Alice?"

"Probably talking with Carlisle about my mental deformities that somehow allow me to see into the future now along with my normal abilities." Better to drop the ball on her now instead of dragging it out for the rest of the day. There's no way Alice could go the entire day without telling every member of the Cullen family about what happened this morning.

Ava stopped walking alongside of me for a minute. I suppose she was processing the information. I certainly haven't yet. Which is why I have to keep walking otherwise the creepiness might seep into my thoughts more.

Ava recovered herself before I stepped into the building. "You—you saw the future? Like the future? How—how is this even possible? How are you doing this?"

"I don't know. I don't want to know, at least not right now. All I want is to make it through the last few days of high school, write the speech for graduation, and live through the summer to make it to Dartmouth in the fall. I don't want to even think about anything else until I am in a nice quiet room months from now and I can scream my head off because I'm so confused."

Ava scared me for a second by randomly hugging me. Of course, because of our height difference, she hugged me around my waist. It was kind of awkward. "Oh, God! I never would have realized that you were in such a terrible situation, Bella! Don't worry, Bella, I'll help you with anything you need me to, okay? If you want me to write your speech or persuade the Volturi into forgetting everything about you, then I will. I swear I will."

You know, I never really believed that Ava was on her period when she was turned, but after hearing that, I kind of do. "Hey, calm down. You've got a wedding to throw together really soon. I am totally fine, trust me."

She threw me her serious do not mess with me face. "Seriously, Bells, you're not fine. Trust me. But you will be as soon as I figure out what's going on around here and fixing it myself."

I'm slightly scared. "Ava, you're not going to go and massacre half the town, are you?"

She waved off my concern. "No, of course not. I'm going to massacre everyone who's making you freak out so much." All of a sudden she whipped her head around to glare at someone. Seeing as I was still in crisis mode, I thought Victoria might be coming at me, but it was actually something a little worse. Tanya, with a butt load of books in her arms, was heading straight towards us. "She's at the top of my new hit list." Ava growled to me.

I can't tell if Tanya's smile is real or pasted on. "Hello, Sarah. Hello, Ava."

I guess it's the latter if she purposely used our 'real' names. Or she could just be unsure of what to call us. This is the first time I've actually spoken to her. "It's Bella." I said curtly. Ava followed with, "And I'm Elizabeth when we're at school."

She put down the pile of books in her arms on a nearby table and covered her mouth. God, I hate that I can't tell if she's messing with us or not! "Whoops! Edward told me so much about you two that I thought the names he used were what you actually went by."

Well, color me even more confused. "Why would Edward call me Sarah?" He told me I was his Bella. He also said that I was nothing like his hallucination while he was away, but I'll try not to think about that.

Tanya shrugged. "I suppose he thought you preferred your real name as opposed to the name that you've given yourself in a veiled attempt to create a bond between yourself and Edward when in reality there isn't anything there at all."

Well, that answers that question.

I think a pen could have dropped anywhere in the school and I would have heard it. Ava definitely would have heard it, but that would just be because of her vampire hearing. Things just sort of went quiet for me at the same time my fists clenched together and I felt like punching the smirk right off of Tanya's satisfied face. I knew she was awful! And here I was giving her the benefit of the doubt!

It was quite difficult, but I managed to keep my voice steady. "I'm sorry, what did you—?"

The bitch cut me off! Why you little! "You heard me. Listen, I have to go. I have to get all of these books put away before school starts. See you guys later." And with that, she was gone.

Ava didn't even bother waiting til Tanya was out of human ear shot. "That bitch!" I agreed wholeheartedly, but I wasn't about to say that out loud. I smacked Ava's arm and tried to motion that Edward was barreling towards us. Oh, God! Did he hear all of that?

Ava didn't notice him until he was right behind her. I certainly did. The look on his face set my heart off faster than a 100 meter dash. Ava groaned when Edward cleared his throat behind her. "What now? Oh, hey Edward. We just talked to your lovely new girl—"

Edward was obviously upset. I only notice this because I've known and practically memorized all of his facial features and body movements, and in general the hunched shoulders and intense eyes usually gave away his extreme unhappiness.

"Would you mind leaving, Elizabeth?" Edward had his eyes on me, not Ava. Was this about my 'dream' last night? Was it real after all? "Bella and I need to talk." Oh my damn, it was about the dream. It was real! It was! "Alone." Okay, maybe it's not about the dream. He looks much too angry to be talking about a happy make-out session. And what a happy kiss it was…

Oh, crap it. This is about yesterday afternoon. I'd already forgotten that I'd sort of told him off and hopped on a motorcycle with the guy Edward might just want to kill a little more than he wants to kill Victoria.

Ava kept looking back and forth between Edward and me. "I suppose I can just go to class early. I'll see you later, Bella." And now we're alone. Except, of course, for all of the other students who would be witnesses if Edward actually loses it and offs me.

Well, this isn't awkward at all. If Edward could just look at me some other way than like he's about to kill me, it might be a little better. "Hi," I tried. No response. Did he hear the conversation I just had with her? Is that why he's mad? Maybe he's still mad about yesterday. "So…I plan on staying at school for the whole day today." God, what is wrong with him? "Jacob didn't almost wolf out on me once! Isn't that great? No danger at all."

"Bella," oh crap, he's going to yell at me, "Do you have any idea how close I was to following you and that mutt all the way through the border line? To shaking some sense into you after you just jumped on the back of that bike? To breaking the treaty and coming after you? Do you know what that would have meant?"

I swear, I feel like I'm back in first grade. "Umm…I don't know."

Well, that did it.

I really hope Edward doesn't rip his hair out. It would suck if he was bald for the rest of eternity. "Bella, they would've started a war right then and there! And I would have enjoyed every minute of the fight."

"I'm sure you would've…" I said coolly. Apparently my Tanya-induced anger was still in my system. Luckily, that anger mixed with my usual Edward-induced anger caused me to completely block out the vision that I saw. "But, you seem to have ignored the fact that Jacob didn't do anything to hurt me, so there isn't any real need for you to start a war."

"If he'd hurt you—"

I rolled my eyes. This is ridiculous! "He won't! Seriously, there's nothing to worry about. Jacob is as dangerous to me as you are."

The next thing I knew, I was pinned against the nearest wall of the building. Well, I guess Edward's finally snapped. "Bella. You aren't exactly the best judge of what is or isn't dangerous." His eyes burned into mine. Thank goodness he was holding me against the wall, or I probably would have fallen over.

"Well," my voice cracked, "It's not really your place to determine what is and isn't dangerous to me. I made the choice to jump on the back of that bike with all of my senses perfectly in order and with a very clear idea of what is and isn't dangerous to me." And right now I'm in more danger of passing out than I was close to dying or getting hurt yesterday.

Edward looked at me hard for a moment before leaning in even closer to me. Dear God, I'm going to start mega-blushing if he gets too close. "Really? It seemed to me that you were trying to make someone in particular upset by leaving like that."

Yep, there goes that mega-blush. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Edward definitely broke the ex rule of getting much too close to kissing me again. "Are you sure that you weren't trying to make me angry with you?"

My stomach dropped. "I don't know what you mean."

He smiled just a little, but I could tell he was still very angry under that composed surface. "Not even when you called me Eddie before you left?"

Shit, he got me. "Well, I call you Eddie even when I'm not trying to make you mad. I usually only call you Eddie when I'm mad at you, so really the whole thing yesterday was me being mad at you." Wait, I didn't want to tell him that! "I mean," Crap it, he made me admit how angry I was at him, and he knew it, "I didn't mean that. I'm not mad at you. I'm not anything at you because I don't care if I make you angry or not. Wait, that still didn't come out right."

He looked so triumphant that he let go of me. I sort of just slumped down on the wall. It's actually quite uncomfortable. Despite my defeated position, I think he should realize by now that I do not enjoy losing. "Don't worry, Bella, I know exactly what you mean." I think Edward's been watching The Vampire Diaries or something because his smirk was distinctly like Damon Salvatore's.

Great, now I'm going to cry. Of course, it was just because I was frustrated, but still! And I really just want to slap the smirk right off of him. "No, you don't! You don't know anything, Edward. Especially not about me. You forgot some very important things about me while you were gone." And just because I was really upset about crying, I added, "You were gone for too long."

He flinched at that, but he never backed away from me. If anything, he moved closer to me. "You're wrong." He whispered, literally an inch away from kissing me, which pretty much drove me to the edge. The thing that made it worse was that he didn't do anything after that. His finger brushed the edge of my cheek for about a half second and then he started to walk away.

Oh, hell no.

Luckily for me, he wasn't walking at a human pace. I hopped up after him without thinking. I'm not entirely thinking very rationally right now, but then again, when have I ever? "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing? You can't just say something like that to me and just walk away. Especially with the whole cheek brushing thing! I mean, seriously? Are you trying to kill me? Are Victoria's attempts too mediocre for you?"

He was smiling up until I mentioned Victoria. "Bella."

Nice try, Edward, but it's my turn to taunt you. I suddenly remembered what Bella did in the book that made Edward forget about how angry he was with her. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and murmured into his neck, "I'm sorry I made you so anxious." He was pretty much frozen solid by my actions. Oh yeah, I've still got it. "Edward?" I looked up at his face just to pout a little more than I already was.

He was still frozen, but his eyes warmed when I leaned in closer. My lips brushed his when I said "You aren't jealous of a little 'ole werewolf, are you?"

Edward must have figured out that I was fishing just as much as he was earlier because he somehow snapped out of my hug-induced trance. He jumped away from me like I had electrocuted him. "Jealous? Me?"

I was the one smirking this time. "Yes. Jealous. You."

He was getting good at playing this game. "I don't know what you mean, Bella." I hate it when he uses my own words against me!

Well, two can play at that game. "Are you sure you weren't just a tad jealous when I had my arms around Jacob yesterday? I mean, he might be a bit younger than me, but he more than makes up for it with those fantastic abdomen muscles of his…of course, his personality is great too. He's not the one to move on to some red haired-slash-blonde a few weeks after breaking up with his so-called soul-mate." I didn't realize that I was ranting until Edward grabbed my shoulders and gave me a shake.

He might be the one that needs a shake though. "Red! The red shirt…we forgot about the red shirt…He's coming soon. This could be our only chance…"

And here I thought I was the crazy one. "Umm, Edward?"

His eyes slid back into focus. "Bella?"

"Can you let go of my shoulders? I think you might be breaking my shoulder blades…" I rubbed my shoulders as Edward started pacing. "You gonna tell me why you standing babbling about a red shirt all of a sudden or do I get three guesses?" Red shirt? Where have I seen a red shirt today?

He threw me a sharp glare, indicating that funny time was over. "What were you planning on doing this weekend while I go hunting?"

What the heck? "Well, since I really don't plan my schedule around you much anymore, I don't know. I guess someone might be sleeping over at my house or I'll probably be at your house helping with the wedding stuff…why?" What could I possibly not know about that has Edward so on edge?

Edward looked positively frantic. "Would you want to do something with me, perhaps? As friends?"

I am so confused. "What's wrong with you, Edward? What's this have to do with a red shirt—?" WAIT, MY VISION! HOLY CRAP, IT'S RILEY! And we're going to catch him! And, for some reason, Edward's not supposed to know about it. Okay, I need to be calm and rational about this. "So, I'm thinking that we should definitely go out this weekend. I mean, God only knows what's going to be on in my bedroom this weekend…so, are you up for it?"

Edward was no longer talking to me. He brushed past me quickly, muttering to himself, "I've got to talk to Alice."

"NO!" It sort of shot out of my mouth without me really wanting it to. Edward looked pretty shocked. God, now I have to cover this up! "I mean you can't talk to Alice right now because she didn't come to school with me today."

"She didn't?" I shook my head. "Why?"

I waved it off like it was no big deal. I hope he won't freak out too much. "Well, there was sort of an incident at my house this morning."

"Are you alright?" He asked, looking me up and down for any sort of injury, I suppose.

"I'm fine…sort of. I just…sort of…hadapsychicvision…" I mashed the words together so he couldn't really understand me. Oh, goodness, this was so easy when I told Ava!

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that."

"I ." Edward either wasn't listening very close or he was in shock.

"Say. That. Again."

Alright, here it goes! "I SAW THE FUTURE THIS MORNING, OKAY? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?"

Tada! That chapter was a lot of Edward and Bella fighting! And Tanya's rearing her butthead-ness. And Alice clearly knows more than she's telling Bella. Oh, and Alec's crazy girlfriend from the last story is coming to town! Me oh my, things are gettting crazy in Forks!

I know i'm going really slow, but stay with me and review and i'll be your best friend, promise! :)

Preview for the next chapter:

"I understand what you speak of, Miss Swan. I did have a family once myself."

I rolled my eyes. This was not going like I wanted it to, but then again things rarely went the way I wanted them to. "I know you did, and I know you want to make up for what happened to them, but I can't do something like this no matter how much I…dislike…the remaining parts of the Volturi."

"Even after what Aro made you do?" I cringed at the memory of Edward being thrown around the Volturi's lair because of my stubbornness to not give into Aro.

"I don't have it in me, Marcus…"
