Chapter 10: Danger Magnet

'Made me learn a little bit faster,

Made my skin a little bit thicker,

Makes me that much smarter,

So thanks for making me a fighter.'

Fighter- Christina Aguilera

It was sunny the next day, for once, which meant that we didn't have to go into school, to avoid suspicion. It was such a relief once in a while. I have lost count of many times I have attended high school. Most go through the experience once, and they consider it hell. They should try being in my shoes for a few years. One can only attend high school a number of times before it becomes unbearable.

It was good for Esme to have us at home for a while. She does get lonely without anyone in the house all day. We were all concentrating on our poker game. We were actually having fun. Edward wasn't concentrating on Bella for once, and he was for once having fun. We were trying so hard not to let Alice and Edward cheat.

It was going well, when Alice suddenly stopped and had a vision.

'Alice you're out right now, you know the rules' said Emmett as he grabbed her cards away.

'Edward' said Alice, sounding panicked, 'I think you should go to Port Angeles. Bella is there and I think something is going to happen. I can't exactly see yet though, but it is something bad.'

Edward was gone before we even blinked; we just heard his car screech out of the driveway. He went to save his one and only.

'It's like it is his fault whatever happens. That girl is a danger magnet, she needs to learn how to take care of herself' I mumbled.

I let out a sigh. I was continuously getting frustrated at this as the days went on. Emmett glanced over at me, but didn't say anything. Our game immediately stopped, as everyone seemed quite tense about this whole situation.

After a while, Alice received another vision. She was constantly looking into Bella's future these days.

Jasper rushed over to her, 'what is it Alice?' he asked.

Since when was he concerned about Bella? I didn't look up from my weekly car magazine until Alice really sounded worried.

'Oh no' she said, 'there are a group of guys who are going to find Bella in an alleyway, on her own. They were going to leave, until they saw that she was on her own. I hope that Edward will get there on time.'

Suddenly I was the one who was concerned. 'I'll ring him' said Emmett as he took out his phone.

Will Edward be able to stay in control?' asked Jasper, clearly worried.

'I don't know. He will be furious at them, especially seeing as he will hear all of their thoughts. I hope he will control himself, for Bella's sake.

'Yeah, it really wouldn't help the situation if Edward did attack them' said Emmett as he got off the phone. 'I called Edward; he is already in Port Angeles.'

'Oh poor Bella, how traumatic for the poor girl' panicked Esme.

Yes, I do agree. How traumatic for that poor girl that she has a run in with some men, but her prince comes along in the end. Jasper looked over at me in concern. I knew he was sensing the remorse and pain that I was feeling, but I just shrugged it off.

'Should we go and help?' asked Esme.

'No' I said as I stood up, 'Edward will handle it, this is his problem. He is well capable' and I walked outside and ran into the woods.

I needed some fresh air.

All those years ago, the exact same thing happened to me. But the men who raped me, were my fiancé and his friends, rather than a bunch of strangers. Someone that I trusted, that I felt safe with, stabbed me in the back. I had no knight in shining armour riding to my rescue to save me before it was too late. I was left to die a lonely death at the side of the street, lying in the snow.

Well that was until Carlisle smelt my blood. Yes Carlisle saved me, he saved me from death. But I wouldn't have chosen this life if I had been conscious.

I wonder if they would have been so concerned when it was me. Would Edward have rushed off to my rescue? Would Alice have been so worried? Always looking into my future due to her love for me when she didn't even know me? Of course not.

I am not being negative, I am being realistic.

Edward was obsessed with Bella. He was completely in awe of her. Alice said that she saw herself and Bella being the best of friends. Well what about me? It was once I turned a vampire, that I turned everything off. I looked out for myself, and myself only. Yes I cared about my family, but I was always going to come first in my decisions. It did slightly change when Emmett came into my life, but not dramatically.

But why didn't Alice want to be my best friend? I knew what everyone thought of me. I was everybody's least favourite in the family, although some won't admit it. That is the difference between us. I will tell the truth, they would hide the truth to be kind.

The truth may hurt at first, but a lie will last forever. I didn't care about any of their feelings though. They could look out for themselves if they chose to; just let I learnt to look out for myself.

It won't be long until Bella walks into our family, and instantly, they will love her, even Emmett, although he may deny it now. As a result, I will be the outsider.

I kicked down a tree; I needed to exercise my rage somehow. I will not allow myself to become jealous of her. I will not envy her.

I knew they would hear the tree, so I ran even further away. I found the clearing that I usually come to when I want to be on my own and clear my head. I sat on my rock.

This is all because of Royce. Even thinking of his name makes me boil with hatred and anger. I was never like this when I was human. I was never angry. I was quite polite to people, I always wanted to please them. Now, I didn't care. They usually found something to hate about me anyway because they were just purely jealous of me.

If it weren't for him, I would be under a gravestone by now. I could have been happy. I could have had my one true wish granted, to have children. Maybe if I were plain and boring... Just maybe I could have been happy. I could have fulfilled my life. I wouldn't mind dying, as long as I had a happy life.

I looked down at the water with my reflection appearing on it. But I'm not boring, or plain. I'm beautiful, and I know it as well as everybody else. I love walking down the street, men always do a double take, and women stare at me with envy, longing to look exactly like me. They should really be careful what they wish for. I should know.

Edward is allowed to use his skill without anyone thinking anything of it. They depend on his skill. Jasper and Alice use their skills without anyone calling them anything. Emmett even uses his strength to the best of his ability, and we are even thankful for his strength.

My ability, or talent, or whatever you want to call it, is my beauty. It's all I have. My beauty is what got me into trouble when I was human, so I will be damned if I cannot use it to my full advantage as a vampire.

People may call me vain for it. I will admit that a may be slightly vain, but if they can use their talent to its full extent, what is stopping me?

I truly do hope that Edward saved Bella on time. I may not like the girl, but nobody deserves to go through that, ever.

I ran home as fast as I could, feeling the wind blow through my hair.

When I arrived home, I knew Bella was safe straight away. Everyone had become a lot more relaxed and Esme and Alice were even laughing about something. Carlisle, Japer and Emmett were organising their next hunting trip.

Nobody really noticed me walk in until I asked 'where's Edward?' As I sat next to Alice, 'I thought he would have been back by now?'

'That's what we were just talking about' said Alice, back to her bubbly self, 'he took Bella out for dinner afterwards, he didn't want to leave her alone. Carlisle met them while he was on call, Edward was driving her home. Isn't that cute?'

Esme and Alice were both waiting for my answer, but I just shrugged my shoulders and sank into the couch, as they continued their conversation.

For just one moment, the sheer happiness on Esme's face made me want this situation to work out for Edward, but just for a moment.

We all knew that Edward was Esme's favourite, although she would never admit it to us. I haven't seen her this happy in a very long time. It did make me happy to see her like this.

It wasn't long until Edward walked through the door, and for once, he didn't look miserable. He carried a huge smile on his face and his eyes were glittering with happiness. I hated seeing the effect that this girl had on him.

Edward glanced over at me for a moment, with a look of curiosity and anger, but then drew Carlisle's attention, 'Carlisle, those men are dangerous. I read their minds; Bella would have been their ninth victim. We cannot let them get away with this again. We need to stop them; they do not deserve to live.'

Edward's eyes suddenly clouded over with anger, but Carlisle placed a hand on his shoulder, 'It's alright son. We can take care of it. I agree, they must be taken out of the streets.'

This was my chance. I needed more revenge. I thought that I was satisfied with Royce, but obviously not. I felt it was my place to stop these men also. They had already ruined eight other women's lives. I had to do something.

'I'll come too' I said and stood up.

Carlisle wasn't so certain about the idea. He didn't like us harming others, even if they were evil.

'I'm not too sure Rosalie...' started Carlisle, but I interrupted him,

'I want to do this Carlisle, I need to do this. I'm coming.'

I knew that Carlisle still wasn't persuaded, but Edward, having read my mind, nodded. He understood my motives at least.

Tonight we would go after them. They have no idea what is coming to them.

So, what do you think? Sorry it has been so long, I have been so busy with school.

Do you think I should add in the chapter where Edward and Rosalie go after them?
