Chapter 6

Attack

Credo Ven

As he sharpened his blade he imagined the fight ahead. He had never heard of this immortal before therefore did not know whether she was new fighter or had any experience in combat. Credo Ven had perched himself across the street where he could see his intended target was present in her home and ready to be slaughtered, the rush of excitement was wonderful. He loved killing other immortals and gaining there knowledge and power.

Bella and Edward

They slowly pulled from the embrace that threatened to engulf them for eternity, they struggled though with the desire to stay apart for more than a few seconds.

"I have waited one hundred years for that kiss." laughed Edward as ran his cold, pale hand through Bella's hair.

"Was it as good as you thought it would be." she stuttered trying to recover her voice.

"Bella that was better than I ever imagined."

"Same here." she smiled.

"Bella I have to go back home right now. You need sleep and Carlisle wants to talk with everyone regarding our situation. Will you still be here when I return?".

"I'll still be here, don't you go anywhere. Promise me you will stick around after you've seen Carlisle."

Edward planted a swift kiss on her lips and smiled at her.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Bella smiled as she saw Edward leave. She had not felt this way in a long time and her heart was engulfed in a fire of love she thought had been put out for all of time.

As she turned to sit on her sofa her senses went into overdrive. She knew the feeling that had now crushed the fire inside of her. There was a immortal nearby, no, there was an immortal in her apartment.

Bella gracefully moved to her sword and poised it in a defensive position.

"How sweet Betha Dawson, I knew you were something special." The voice was cold but menacing, this opponent was after some major blood.

"You have me at a disadvantage, you know my name but I don't know yours" Bella retorted searching for the intruder.

"I am credo and its time to die my little darling."

With lightning speed a large figure jumped with his sword raised and struck Bella's Katana sword with incredible force. She managed to hold her stance for a few seconds before receiving a rib breaking punch to her chest. Bella stumbled back slightly but immediately went into a defence stance again.

"I was expecting more of a fight but we can't win all the time" he laughed.

Bella stared into his eyes and knew that this battle would be to the death.

"You want a fight, bring it on you creepy motherfucker".

Bella twirled her blade and attacked Credo with grace. Each twirl of her blade was blocked except for her last. Her blade sliced deeply across his stomach bringing the man to his knees and at her mercy. She brought the cold metal edge of her blade to his neck.

"Your right Credo, I was expecting more of a fight".

She raised the sword and brought it down upon Credo's neck. Credo's head rolled across her carpet spreading blood across the ground.

At that second she felt the energy building around her before it struck her, the quickening was happening. She was about to receive all the knowledge and experience of Credo's. Everything exploded around Bella but she didn't notice as the energy entered her and brought her to the floor. It was good but so overwhelming at times and she had only experienced a few since she became an immortal.

As the light became dim in her apartment she heard the silence around her. She was now stronger and she knew it.

Richie Somewhere across town

Richie was walking through the bitter cold night when he felt a Quickening taking place. One thought came to his mind.

'Bella's in a fight'
