A/N: Hey you guys! It's almost the holidays, so I wish you the merriest! (You know, just in case I don't add another chapter before that grand ole day…) You know the drill, drop a little "thanks, you too" and review? Gracias and Feliz Navidad! (Isn't my Spanish vocabulary grand?)


Bella's POV

As I said, Tanya was actually doing something helpful—voluntarily. No Volturi to her head or nothing. It was one of the most selfless deeds a (foreign) vampire has ever done; despite the whole stealing my boyfriend for the night thing. But nothing is ever perfect, right?

Before she led me up the Cullen's steps with her unexpected and greatly despised powers, I cornered her before she fled.

"I may hate you Tanya, but I don't think even I could do what you did for me."

Her perfectly shaped eyebrows raised in slight perplexity.

"I don't understand."

I breathed out slowly, my voice hard and set; my gaze drifted slowly towards the cement ground and out of view from the intimidating female vampire.

"I know you love him. Maybe even as much as I do, and I know the sense of rejection—it hurts like hell—and I don't think, if I was in your place that I would have helped." I laughed with suddenly pink cheeks. "I'm actually glad that you snuck in to my room."

Tanya tried to smile; her façade may have seemed strong to a regular human, but to me it was incredibly fake.

"Well, I'm glad I could be of assistance." The wind blew back a piece of her hair, almost like a fan was motioned just at the right moment for the model to strike a dramatic pose.

"I wish you two the best Bella…Edward sure is a great guy."

She was about to fly off the porch with unimaginable speed when her eyes twinkled.

"Oh, and about the 'hate' thing—I hope we can be friends."

I smiled back out of common courtesy and waited until she zoomed away to drop it with exaggerated force. I rolled my eyes as I faced the Cullen's doorway.

"Don't count on it bitch."

Although, I did feel some sort of bond building; a tug of friendship, a lap of civility. Tanya could actually be a sweet and caring…oh.


Haha, I had fun with this little filler. I hope that the little ending of this miniature chapter made sense to you…about Tanya's power and all…yeah. Well, drop me a comment and here's a little hint-eroo:

IF YOU REVIEW, THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE BIG AND FILLED WITH HOLIDAY FLUFF. (:

This chapter is dedicated to a special feline that has just passed as we speak, Felix my brother's cat.

May she always be in our hearts and in little kitty heaven where there's food and whiskertreats galore.
