Chapter 12
My life has been a crazy mess and I am so sorry for not updating this sooner. First I was swamped with work and then I suffered a tiny bit of writer's block. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I would like to thank all those who have reviewed and added my story.
Everything twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer etc. and everything highlander to the creator etc.
Methos was lost for words for the first time in a long time. There were few immortals older than him. Immortals as old as himself were thought to be more responsible than younger immortals due to their many years of wisdom and skill, Methos was disgusted at the idea of an immortal as strong as Titan, what the were the watchers doing?
Bella soft voice broke the silence that surrounded the room.
"Methos what are we going to do?" she said softly but a small amount of fear slipped into her voice. Methos went to Bella and gave her a comforting hug, Bella felt like a little girl again with Methos giving her hug. He had always been a strong father figure for her, he had been very supportive of the Cullen's return to her life.
"Don't worry Bella. I will have to consult certain individuals but I should be able to find a solution to this problem. For now I want you to live your life and enjoy the arrival of the Cullen family. I will deal with this" Methos soothingly said as he looked at Bella.
Bella let out a long breath and felt so much better after she had. Methos was always able to put her worries to rest especially when she was a newbie immortal. Methos looked at Edward who suddenly turned his head to look at Methos.
"Edward I think that Bella would be most comfortable with you tonight so I would be grateful if you stayed with her tonight" Methos thought.
Edward nodded then walked over to take care of Bella, he hugged her tightly but lovingly and she returned the love with a kiss to his cheek which made him smile like a young boy who had just received a bicycle for Christmas.
"What are we going to do with her?" Bella asked nodded her head to the door that led to the basement.
"It's up to you Bella" Methos replied.
"I want to let her fight me. I know I can beat her, I have to fight her or she'll keep coming after me and those around me."
Edward looked at Bella with shock filling his eyes, his kind, sweet and caring Bella was offering to go and kill someone.
"Bella no! I'm not risking you again. I was in so much pain after you got shot" Edward barked.
"Edward I will be fine, she is so clouded with anger and grief right now that she won't be able to focus. I'll handle her, she wanted a fight and I'll give her one."
Methos and Richie nodded in agreement. As Bella walked to pick up Lydia's sword Richie motioned for Bella to come and speak with him.
"What is it Richie?"
"I just wanted to wish you luck and remember to listen with your ears as well as track her with your eyes" Richie said sounding like an ancient master.
"Thanks Richie".
Richie gave her a quick but loving kiss on the cheek and let her go to confront Lydia. Bella felt slightly awkward as Richie kissed her on the cheek especially with Edward watching.
Edward was paying close attention to Bella as she went over to Richie, if only Bella knew the thoughts in Richie's mind. Edward was having a hard time keeping his anger in control, the moment he saw Richie kiss Bella his eyes flashed with anger. Jasper felt the sudden spike of emotion and rushed to Edward to stop him from doing anything stupid, he enjoyed seeing his brother happy again and didn't want to risk him doing something to ruin everything.
"Edward calm down. It was only a friend kiss" Jasper lied, he knew what Richie was feeling.
"You know as well as I that his emotions tell a different story. He has kissed her before and he wishes that she would be his Bella, if he kisses her again I will break his fucking neck."
Jasper nodded and understood knowing that his brother would kill Richie if he kissed Bella again. Bella picked up her sword and Lydia's, she walked slowly down to the basement. It was time to settle the score.
