Chapter 3/The Fight

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, although I would be honored if I were lucky enough to own such creative genius.

Before I knew what was happening, I slammed into a locker. I thought I had tripped for a second before I saw a long, pale hand coming towards me to strike me again across the face. It stung where the hand had hit me. I looked up to see Cassidy standing there looking menacingly down at me.

"Thought you could steal my boyfriend did you? Well, we'll see about that," she said, laughing grimly down at me.

Then before she could hit me again, my savior appeared.

"Let her go, Cassidy," he said.

"You think I'm going to let either of you get away! Of course not. You cheated on me and she stole you away from me. So now I have to kill you," she said, her voice ice-cold.

He screamed at the top of his lungs, "LEAVE US ALONE, CASSIDY!!"

She just laughed and scratched her unnaturally long fingernails across his thigh.

I gasped as I saw Edward fall to his knees in pain, trying to hold himself together. Then, gathering his strength, he grabbed her ankle and pulled her to the floor. Her head banged against the floor. By then, almost every student in the school was watching.

She then took her high heel and kicked him in the groin. He fell back down in pain and looked like he would cry, if only he could.

I staggered to my feet to help Edward, but Cassidy pulled me back down. I stood back up and tried to attack, but Edward's strong arms held me back.

The final bell saved us.

"I will find a way to get back at you, I swear it!" she said.

"You can't swear in school!" yelled Edward.

In a horror movie voice she said, "And you'll be first."

"You can try crazy!" Edward yelled back.
