(another chapter down, I like to the Elizabeth Taylor Winchester, tbeans3 and Izzy(guest) for your reviews)

Nathen landed in the back garden and allowed Bella to dismount first before returning to human... Nathen was a little worried, Edward and Bella were together for a while... now he was back for her, Nathen trusted Bella enough to let her go alone when she asked but wanted him to stay close.

Nathen watched from the corner as they interacted.

"Hello Bella" Edward smiled moving closer trying to get into her space but she backed away.

Bella had all but nearly healed from her heart now Nathen was all she could think about... he was what she needed but Edward was creeping back slowly... he moved closer "I was trying to protect you" he pleaded,

More like you were protecting yourself" she pushed him back, his eyes flashed with hunger "Please Bella... I can't live without you" He reached out to her but was met by a left hand to the cheek... "Can't we just talk?" he asked with a lost look in his eyes.

"Fine" she gave in but kept him at length... Nathen watched from the distance as they stood there talking... he had to talk to the council now the Cullen's were back, he was worried about something else though... the fact that his heart was Now beating in time with Bella's, he loved her.

Edward and Bella were talking for quite a while and he slowly made his way closer towards her but she back away "No" she snarled and he reached for her.

"You belong to me..." he gripped her tight "Not too that feathered freak" she snapped at his words and she brought her hand back and slammed it into his cheek... he was unmoved as he made his way closer "He is more to me than you ever were" she bellowed but was caught off guard when he gripped her shoulders tights and threw her across the street... she was flying towards a tree... her eyes closed waiting for the impact.

Nothing came.

Nathen watched in horror as Edward launched Bella towards a tree across the street and without a second thought he was off... using his super speed to get to her in time before she was hurt... if she was hurt he was going to tear Edward apart and nothing was going to stop him. the world was slow to him as he ran... the only thing moving was him, that was the best thing about super speed... only he was moving as he ran at Bella.

Bella felt arms wrapping around her waist and opened her eyes and smiled as she gazed into Nathen's, he had saved her from being injured, he held her tight in his arms as she wrapped her arms around his shoulder grinning like an idiot... Edward seethed "Let go of my Woman", Bella and Nathen looked at each over and snorted before Nathen super sped away with her in his arms.

Edward had a new target now... Nathen was on his list.

Nathen and Bella arrived back to her house after a few hours... Nathen circled the house first before landing into her back yard allowing her to dismount before changing back to his human form... Edward was no where to be seen which made Nathen relieved and at the same time nervous.

Bella was disturbed more than ever... her feelings for Nathen was scaring her but now Edward was back she was afraid for them both... Nathen laid her down gently onto her bed and watched over her throughout the night waiting for Edward to try something.

Edward:

Edward went back to the Cullen residence and was greeted by the family with eyes blazing with fury.

"You better not have hurt her" Esme warned through her gritted teeth.

"Of course not" Edward shrugged but stopped when they snarled.

"I saw you Edward..." Alice whimpered "You threw Bella"

"If she is hurt... I'll make you pay" Rosalie snarled and standing next to her was her lover Emmet who growled at him "I'm next in line"

"We wanted her to be happy and safe Edward, that's why we listened to you but now because of you she probably hates us" Esme growled out as threatenly... if she was human she probably be in tears.

"She is safe... with somebody else" Edward growled out "good" Carlisle and the family sighed in relief.

"What... i said she is with somebody else... she is my woman" Edward screamed at them all.

"She doesn't belong to you Edward" Alice replied to him growling as she made her way to the window.

"She'll be mine" Edward turned to the door.

"Edward!" Carlisle yelled at him "If you hurt her... be prepared to deal with us all" and soon the others nodded their agreements as they stood behind Carlisle... they all loved Bella... and they had her back now.

Edward smirks "you better be prepared"

Emmet punched Edward backwards and snarled "Don't threaten my family"

Edward got to his feet and prepared to attack Emmett but the others snarled a warning at him... Edward was outmatched so he made his retreat out the window.

Nathen

Nathen stood by the window looking out at the blackened sky smiling as he guarded Bella closely... she whimpered and moaned his name softly and he chuckled climbing in next to her but remained away as he held her close by.

might as well enjoy this because something was coming.

Victoria watched from the distance as her new-born army grew slowly... she smiled to herself until she caught the scent of something familiar in the air... another vampire.

she turned around to see the shadowy figure standing before her "Hello Victoria" the shadowy figure greeted softly.

"Who are you?" she snarled as she asked but looked stunned when the figure stepped into the light.

"Edward" she whispered shocked.

this was going to be bad.
