"Hello Alex, how are you today?" I heard a voice that could only belong to one person and one person only. Josh. I forced myself to relax and stay calm. What was he doing here? I heard a chuckle coming from behind me. "Why, I'm here for you of course," he said harshly. "You got away last time, but you will be mine, my little Legend." I stiffened at the name. The Cullens didn't know anything about that yet

"Enough." I said, smoothly. "Go home, Josh, I do not belong to you, and as I recall, I have a restraining order on you." He smiled this creepy slimly smile. Like he knew something I didn't. It turns out he did.

"You do," he told me triumphantly. "But who's here to keep that restraining order in check? Hmmm?" He wrapped his arms around me, and pulled e close. I could feel that Max and the others were getting ready to fight. If not them, then the Cullens. How sweet. I shook my head at them, and gave them a look that said, 'don't worry, I needed to release some stress anyway' their look of anger suddenly turned to a look of pity. For Josh, of course, but the Cullens didn't know it, I jerked my head towards the Cullens and they nodded. Jesse used his power to restrain them, so that they wouldn't accidentally get caught in my fight with Josh.

"What no struggle? I was expecting more of a challenge from you, especially after what I got last time you little Minx." Gross.

"I don't want to waste my energy on trash," I told him bluntly. He tightened his grip around me to where it would have killed me if I was human, but instantly loosened it to its previous grip. I heard growling coming from Edward, when his fangs came down to graze my neck. "Josh, you realize that you are completely surrounded right?" I told him in a sheepish voice. He wasn't fazed.

"Yes, I am well aware of that, honey, but you wouldn't let them ruin your fun now would you?" he asked in a seductive voice, which only served to disgust me more then I already was, but he had a point. It was time for my fun.

"You're right," I said sweetly. "I wouldn't let them get in the way of my fun, because what would be the point if I didn't release my stress on you," I said my voice overly sweet. At the same time I slammed my foot down on top of his. He yelled and pushed me away.

"Bitch!" I laughed maliciously.

"Tell me something I don't know." I taunted. He smiled, no grinned. That wasn't a good sign. We were circling each other.

"Alright, if you wish. I killed your mother, father, and step father. I made each of them watch as I killed the other, but I saved your mother for last. Making her watch the death of the two people she loved. Hers was the sweetest blood, I must say. I wonder if you'll taste the same." He paused and I tensed. "No, you'll taste even better. My venom burns my throat just thinking about how your blood will taste when it runs over my tongue." I was shaking. But not with fear. I was shaking with anger and hatred. I had always thought my family had died peacefully. But now I knew they hadn't, and it was my entire fault. I should have killed Josh when I met him sixty years ago.

I was at a club, scouting out potential dangers, when I felt hands on my waist. I knew instantly that it was a Vampyre, so I led him to a secluded area in the back. I guess he thought I wanted to do something, and I did. I wanted to find out what his status was. That was my first mistake. I accidentally led him to his friends.

"Who's your snack?" one of them laughed. The others just snickered, and Josh didn't do anything but smile.

"Play nice, boys. We don't want to scare her to death. Then what good would her blood be?" The night progressed like that, and the night ended by me killing all five of his friends, and almost killing him, but he got away. I didn't realize then that, that would be the biggest mistake of my life, because after that day the stupid Vamp. Was hunting me, and every now and then he'd find me, try to get me to sleep with him.

I hadn't seen him for almost fifteen years, but I guess, there's a time and place for everything, but this wasn't it. Apparently fate wants the Cullens to know who I am. What I am. While I was thinking Josh lunged at me. I stepped to the side and barely avoided getting hit. In a blur I was chasing after him throwing and catching punches. When he was close enough I tripped him, and he flew backwards but regained his balance to quickly for me to catch and the next thing I knew I was on the ground with Josh on top.

"This ends now, Baby," he said into my face. I didn't move. I just waited. Then I turned over and I was on top.

"You're right. This ends now." I sneered into his face. I wish I could call it ugly, but I had to admit it is a sexy face. The only thing I have to say is watch out for the feet. It's always the feet that people forget. And boy did I regret forgetting the feet because the next thing he did was use his feet to throw me off him, and into a tree. I was bleeding, had splinters, and I think my shoulder was dislocated. I got up slowly, and tried to move my shoulder. I winced. Yep. Definitely dislocated. "You know, Josh. Next time you throw me into a tree, try not to dislocate anything. Okay?" I asked, keeping the pain out of my voice. I reached over and relocated my shoulder without a second thought.

Right now I loved Zach for teaching me medical things, such as relocating your shoulder, and Sean who taught me excellent endurance. I really must thank them and send them a box of chocolate sometime. I heard a satisfying crack and knew my shoulder was back in it's rightful place then turned back to my other problem. "I hate you, you know that right?"

"Alex, Baby. You wound me deeply right here." He said pounding his fist to where his hear would be. Then he pulled out a shot gun. Jeeze. Don't people know not to sell guns to Night Creatures such as him. Or any for that matter. Humans these days. "But don't worry. I'm going to wound you right back, of course not in the same place. If I killed you how would I get you to love me?"

"By going away and never coming back," I spit at him. He fired and missed. But he did manage to hit the tree I was leaning on. "Close" I taunted. "But not close enough." I ran forward and threw myself at him. He shot me in the arm, I grimaced.

"Ohh. Did that hurt let me clean that up for you," he said as he started to lean towards my arm. I jerked my arm out of his grasp, and managed to squirt some blood out. Thankfully Max and his Coven already had mates, and was able to resist blood lust thanks to Bria, also that the Cullens were still restrained by Jesse, or else I'm sure Edward would be on me like a staving wolf.

"Enough of your stupid games, Josh. Leave!" I yelled. He smiled.

"Why would I want to do that?" he asked innocently.

"Because I'm about to play dirty." I say. He laughs.

"Fine. You wanna play dirty, Alex. I can play dirty." He points the gun at Suze. And fires. I run over to Suze who is frozen on the spot. I arrive just in time to have the bullet puncture my right shoulder. The Impact makes me stagger back, an fall on Jesse.

"Put a barrier up around you guys. I can't always protect you," I snap. He complies. When I feel an invisible barrier surrounding everyone but me and Josh I got up and walked back to face him. "Now the fun begins," I say evilly. I use my power to slam him into the water fall. Then dragged him across the floor 0f the pond and onto shore. I then lifted him up almost fifty feet into the sky and slammed him down, into the rocks. "You still wanna play dirty little boy. Huh!" I yelled my temper worsening because of the bullets that had something extra in them, to cause pain. And trust me. This was not the kind of pain I wanted to have again.

I lifted him up again and slammed him down. This I did again and again. Until I was sure he had, had enough. "Go," I managed to choke out through the rage and pain. He managed to get up, glare at me, and shoot me again in the leg before running off. With whatever power I had left, I managed to teleport myself back to my house in Phoenix.

To say that David and the others were surprised to see me appear out of no where and collapse on the floor, can only be addressed as a massive understatement.

"Alex! What did you do to yourself?" Will yelled as soon as he saw me on the floor. He turned me over gently. "Call Zach!" He yelled to them. Minutes later, Zach came bursting through the door, and I was on the bed upstairs.

"What happened?" he asked. I was getting asked that a lot, but because he was the one with 7 medical degrees.

"Josh….fight……gun….poison…..bullet…..arm…leg…shoulder…….splinters…..blood……pain….." that was all I managed to choke out. But they understood.

"Josh, has gone to far this time! Poison bullets!" Sean yelled. His yelling was making my head pound.

"Sean! SHUT UP! I can't concentrate with your yelling." Zach yelled. "Alex, brace yourself, I'm going to pour rubbing alcohol over your wounds, and magically take out the splinters and bullets, then I'm going to pour some of my special brew onto the poisoned wounds. This is going to hurt. Try not to move." I groaned. He waited for a moment and began the process.

I imagined that this was what t felt like to be changed into a Vampyre. Well. Maybe the change is a bit worse then this but still. It hurt like…….Dang…….I got one moment of release before Zach poured his brew over and into my wounds. I couldn't help it. I let out a whimper that would have developed into a scream if I hadn't gotten a hold of myself.

"That's my girl," I heard Sean say. "Never would give in," which is true. Everyday, when I was in the house, Sean would test and strengthen my endurance. It has proven useful in times such as these.

"Alright, Alex. I'm done. You're staying here for the rest of today, I'll have David call the school and say you have the flu. That should buy you enough time to heal, teleport back to Forks, and explain what just happened to the Cullens." I groaned. The Cullens. I had completely forgotten that they saw that. Max and the gang I didn't have to worry about. They were there the last time Josh found me, but to the Cullens this must be totally new. And strange, bizarre, the list goes on and on.

But enough of that. I could feel myself slowly losing consciousness, and I wanted to speed up the process, so I closed my eyes and went to sleep. While I slept I wasn't really sleeping. Okay, let me rephrase that. My body was sleeping, but my sprit, my astral projection was making the journey. To the Cullens to observe the after effects of my fight.

"That was so freaking awesome! I wish I had it on tape.!" Emmett shouted, eagerly.

"That was so cool" agreed Jasper. Well. I'm glad they thought my fight with a perverted Vamp. was entertaining for them, because you know how I hate to disappoint my audience.

"That was dangerous." Edward said. Carlisle, Alice, and Esme agreed with him. Hmmm. I think someone's jealous.

"No wonder she's such a bitch. I would be one too if I had him looking on my ass." Rosalie added. They looked at her weirdly, until Jasper was about to speak then quickly rethought his answer. I looked inside his mind to see what his original reply was. I was a sprit so I didn't have to worry about him sensing me. But it was so worth the look. 'Uh, Rose, no offence, but what are you talking about. You are a bitch.' I cracked up.

"We probably need to find out where she went, and where her friends went." I looked around. Max's cove had left when I did.

"What I don't understand is," that was Carlisle. "What is she if she's not a Vampyre, a shifter, or a werewolf, what is she? Is she a half breed o some sort?" My astral self snorted. A half breed. Please. Wasn't he listening at all to what Josh was throwing at me? It doesn't matter. I could feel someone trying to shake my body awake. So I returned to my physical self.

"Finally!" said an exasperated William. "You've been sleeping for two days!"

"TWO DAYS! I couldn't have been sleeping for more then a few minutes!"

"Ahh. Alex. You forget. When you're in an astral form time passes slow there and fast in the physical world. What your sprit form saw was probably what happened, but at a super slow speed so you could observe everything around you." Oh. Opps. I forgot. I thought. I'm sure the guys heard it, or they got the message from my sheepish smile, but either one works.

"Anyway. That doesn't matter. It's time for you to go back. I don't want you to fall behind in school." David said sarcastically.

"Of course, of course. Wouldn't want that to happen, now would we." I got up and waited for the room to stop spinning. When it did, I turned to David. "I think I'll be skipping a few more days of school, if you don't mind. I have some explaining to do thanks to Josh." That said I teleported to my house to find the Cullens waiting for me in my living room.

"I hope you made yourselves comfortable," I said sneaking up behind them. They jumped.

"Must you do that?" Edward asked annoyed. Obviously he forgot who's house he was in. When I reminded him he sat down and looked at the ground. If he could blush I sure he would be. "So," I start. "I guess I owe you an explanation."
