"Wow, it's really you" Mike stated as he looked me over, his eyes raking over me from top to bottom. I flushed in embarrassment. "Yeah it's me" I told him as I averted my gaze. He shifted awkwardly, "So um can I come in?" He asked as he looked past me and into the house. "Actually, I was just about to take a nap. Haven't got much sleep" I told him truthfully. I was always a terrible liar so the truth was the best option. "Who has?" He stated with an uneasy chuckle. My mom, I thought. "But I understand" He replied. "My place is just across the street if you ever wanna drop by, Jessica is also here, she lives about two houses down from you" He added. Just great. "Have you heard anything from Angela?" I asked. Angela was my human best friend before and during Edward but after he left and I got depressed we went our separate ways. I wonder how she is, is she even alive? "No sorry" He told me as he brought his gaze to his feet.

"Oh, ok" I responded, disappointment evident in my voice. "I hope she's okay" I said. "Yeah me too" Mike said. "Anyways, I'll see you around Bella, we've got a lot of catching up to do" He stated with a child-like grin suddenly plastered on his face. "Yeah, see you around" I then closed the door and slumped against it groaning.

"You okay sweetie?" Renee asked, still keeping her gaze on the book and not even moving an inch on the couch. "Just peachy" I responded sarcastically. "I don't see how you couldn't answer it" I told her coldly. Her gaze left the novel in hand and she looked at me, "It was probably for you anyways" She stated with a shrug. I sighed and went to go find my bedroom, "I'm taking a nap now. Do not disturb" I walked out of the living area and up the stairs, opening the first door I saw. "First door is mine, second one I placed your stuff in. I hope you don't mind" She called from the first floor. I rolled my eyes and walked into the second room in the hall and fell onto the bed. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I was having a pretty peaceful sleep for once until I was jolted awake by screaming. I jumped out of bed and rushed out the door grabbing my re-loaded gun on the way out. People were running frantic up and down the streets and the wolves were howling and viciously barking. I didn't see any form of threat, only everyone in utter chaos. "What's going on?!" I yelled over the screaming. I noticed Jacob still in his human form sprinting up to me. When he got close enough to me I called out to him, "Jake what happened?!"

"We gotta breach. They made a hole on the south side and about 40 of the things got through." He told me as he panted. Before I knew it he ran and a huge russet wolf took his place, his clothes now shreds on the ground. Jake then ran towards the south side growling menacingly. "Wait, where's Renee? Mom?!" I frantically looked around. "Mom!" I yelled a little louder but my calls were drowned out by all the other yelling going on.

Crap, I thought and raced towards the direction everyone happened to be running away from. When I reached the end of the barrier that's when I felt like I stepped into a war zone. The vampires and wolves against the walkers. I was surprised it seemed like the pack and the Cullens were evenly matched against the biters, they were pretty strong. A select few of the walkers however were escaping the war and were making their way towards the humans. People were getting bitten and torn to shreds right in front of me.

Five of them all seemed to stop and spot me at once. Who blamed them, I was standing there stupidly. "Dammit," I hissed under my breath as they got closer. I aimed the gun to the closest one's head and fired the first shot. "Bull's eye" I stated as the bullet flew and hit the walker right in the head, blowing its brains out. It fell to the ground. I steadily aimed the barrel to the next one and pulled the trigger hitting it right in the forehead. It fell too, black blood spewing all over the ground.

"Two down three to go" I mumbled to myself. I aimed for the next and pulled the trigger but the barrel was jammed. I cursed under my breath and fumbled with the gun, taking it apart to try and fix the problem. The creatures were getting closer. Crap, crap, crap, I kept chanting in my brain. I looked around searching for anything that I could use as a weapon. Nothing. The street was bare except for a street lamp post. I searched my pockets for anything that could be of assistance.

Bingo. I found a container of dental floss. It would have to do. I rolled my eyes remembering how Renee insisted I have it so I could still have some sort of 'proper dental care'. I mentally thanked her as I readied myself with the floss stretched out and stood next to the lamp, taking a fighting stance. "What are ya waiting for? Want me come and get me" I mocked as a smirk played on my lips. One of the walkers growled and sped up.

One… Two… Three…

I ran behind the biter and wrapped the floss around its neck before it got a chance to swipe at me. I pulled its back against the post, wrapping the floss around the light also and pulled with all the strength I could muster up as I stood behind it. Where the floss was against the neck it sliced a clean horizontal cut and the head of the thing fell to the ground as the blood spurted out of the remainder of its neck. The black blood staining the post and squirting the front of my shirt and face, black splotches now staining me.

The last two walkers were getting extremely close and I doubted that trick would work successfully twice in a row. I frantically looked around again in case there was something I missed before that I could use. Still nothing. I was just about to turn around and run when there was a blur and a fist suddenly punched through one of the heads and a foot came up and knocked the other one to the ground. Edward stood there above the last remaining one in a jet black t-shirt that clung tightly to his chest, accenting every muscle perfectly and a pair of jeans. His hair was a tangled mess and his face was covered in dirt and blood. His foot came up and stepped on the walker's face making a crunch noise when the skull of it smashed to bits and its head looked like a pile of goo on the road.

He looked up at me and smiled his famous crooked smile, "You're welcome" he told me arrogantly. I rolled my eyes and glared at him. "I can handle myself" I said coldly. "I didn't need your help" I placed my hands on my hips as I continued to scowl at him. A part of me may have still loved him but an even bigger part hated him with every fiber of my being for hurting me the way he did. "Oh really? Then how come you were just about to turn and run?" He asked in a mocking tone. "I was going to handle it." I replied venomously. He quirked an eyebrow at me, "Didn't look like it."

"Last time I checked I was handling things just fine, I just took three out" I stated matter-of-factly as I motioned towards the three lying on the street in large pools of black blood. "Why can't you just thank me?" He said, mildly annoyed. "Because I didn't need your help" I shot back. He glared at me and I glared back. I didn't realize it but we kept subconsciously moving closer to each other as our temper continued to flare.

I had had enough, I brought my hand up and a loud smack echoed when my hand connected with his face. I screamed in pain, "I think you broke my hand!" I accused him as I cradled my injured wrist. A flash of hurt crossed his features before anger took over. "You're the one that chose to hit me!" He nearly yelled. "Stupid indestructible vampire" I muttered to myself as I stepped back and made a move to walk away.

"No, Bella wait" He grabbed my arm and I flinched at the cool touch. "Let Carlisle look it over. Carlisle!" He called. "No I can handle it myself, don't touch me" I pulled out of his grasp and he didn't stop me. His face was a mask of hurt. Carlisle flitted to his side. By now all the biters were no longer a threat. "Yes, Edward?" He questioned. "I think Bella broke her hand" Edward responded. "I'm fine I can deal with it myself" I stated coldly. "I need to find my mother then see if my father's okay" I said as I turned around. Carlisle's cold hand planted itself on my shoulder. "Bella let me—" His voice was cut off my a shriek. It was a voice I knew too well. "Renee" I stated as I raced towards the direction of the voice leaving Edward and Carlisle behind.
