Battlefield

I didn't know what Heidi was frowning about, but I know that it wouldn't be good. What if she had heard mine and Alice's conversation? What if she was going to tell Aro about it? What would Aro do to me then? I shuddered at the thought of Aro forcing me to have human blood as my punishment. Sure, I may like the sweet taste of it, but I wouldn't want to go back on my word to only live on animal blood. Besides, I didn't even want to kill anyone, since I know that Aro would give me someone to kill off and drain them dry.

Heidi coughed; the sound that only caught my ears since I was staring at her as if she was going to do the unpredictable. "Aren't you coming?" She asked, and I know that no one would have heard her because it was very low for human ears to catch. Plus, her lips looked like she was quivering when she was speaking in inhumane speed.

"Coming." I breathed out and went to walk over to her. I thought walking at a human speed was torturing before, but now I was just relief that I was using a human space to walk at. I honestly didn't want to come over to Heidi, and I honestly didn't want to go back to the castle. It wasn't my home, and it wasn't even my third home. I was only there out of a deal.

"So," Heidi started as I stopped beside her, only to have walked beside her as we made out of the airport. There were people staring at us, probably thinking that we were crazy for walking from the airport down towards the castle, well in this case wherever since they didn't really know where we resided in.

"So," I replied when she didn't continue what she had started. I chanced a look at her, and she looked away quickly after having being caught. I would chuckle at that, but right now I didn't even feel like it was funny.

"What is Alice to you?" She suddenly blurted the question out after a few moments of silent. That was totally unexpected, and of course I was taken aback.

"My sister-in-law." I muttered a reply. She – for whatever reason – didn't seem to believe that.

"No, Bella. I've seen the way that Alice looks at you, and you look at her. Maybe I'm the only one that notices it, but you two do look like you're in love with each other or something."

I turned to look at her after she finished her sentence, and I saw that she was biting down her bottom lip to suppress the small growl that was trying to escape from them. I could hear that small growl perfectly fine, but I didn't understand why she would be growling at the fact that she had observed me and Alice so closely. Was this one of her assignment from Aro? To observe us?

"Heidi, what exactly are you talking about?" I asked curiously, and she sighed. She paused and looked around the area, before turning into a full on sprint towards the darkened woods. I followed her closely, even though it would be quite impossible to lose her when I could still smell her fresh scent.

There was a lightning flash, and the sound of rolling thunder emerged afterward. I guess I was too occupied to the sound, and was fascinated by how I could hear it so clearly in my ears without even flinching, that I didn't know that Heidi had gone out of my sight. I could still smell her, but she made it really difficult to locate her when she left her scent all over the place. Wait, maybe she was doing this on purpose. Maybe she was luring me out here to…I couldn't even think of what she could do. More training? Or let Jane finish me off now that Aro wasn't even around? Start another stupid war with my family because I – somehow – go missing?

"Bella."

I heard my name being called and I know that it was Heidi. I followed the sound of her voice as I turned to look behind me, and there she was, and I couldn't believe that I hadn't even smelt the other two vampires behind her; Felix and Dimitri. Not only that, they had the widest smirk painted upon their faces and that was when the new, familiar smell hit me. My eyes widened and I could feel my chest started to rumble.

"Where is she?" I growled. Didn't I see Alice entering the terminal with my own eyes? Well, not the terminal since I couldn't go that far to actually say goodbye to her. But, I did not that there was no way that these two could sneak in and capture her without her noticing, or knowing.

"Answer me again, Bella. What is Alice to you?" Heidi asked, and her voice sounded to be on the edge of…jealousy? Wait, was she jealous that she had witnessed the fact that I had feelings for Alice…and not…her? If I answered the question wrong, Alice would get hurt. If I answered it right…Alice would still get hurt. Heidi knew me to well, and I couldn't even lie to her, not when I was such a terrible liar.

"You already know the answer to that, Heidi." I growled a little louder as I started to approach her. She held her finger up, and wiggled it side to side while her lips pursed up into a little smirk.

"Ah, ah, you wouldn't want your little lover to be burned into ashes now, would you?"

"What do you want from me?!" At this moment I was on the urge to yell and launch myself at her. I wanted to, but I had to control myself if I didn't want them to hurt Alice. God, what had they done to her already?

"Simple, I want you to stop thinking about her." Heidi appeared before me then, and it took every bit of my control to stop myself from connecting my fist right into that little pretty face of hers. Well, if it wasn't for Felix holding me down, then I guess that little of my control wouldn't do any good for her face.

Felix had both of my arms behind my back, and had got my upper body to bend down while I had to lift my head to look at her. Heidi smiled down at me, and I think I saw a flash of sympathy behind her smile but it disappeared quickly as it had appeared. She cupped my cheek, and I snarled at her but she held my face firmly. "I want you to think of me. If you can do that, I will let her go."

Such lies. I know that she wouldn't let Alice go even if I would to do what she was asking me to. Besides, no one could even read my mind, and she ought to know that. "Don't feed my lies, Heidi." I sneered. "Just let her go!" I snarled, trying as best as I could to wriggle out of Felix's and her grasps.

Felix grunted behind me, and I know that he was having difficulty to hold me now seeing that I was still stronger than him as a newborn. I used this as my advantage as I struggled more and more against their grasps. Felix was the first to lose his grasp, and I had quickly pushed Heidi away before I turned to slam my fist into Felix's gut, and successfully sending him flying back while I watched him crashed into several trees in his path. I didn't dwell on the sight for long, when I turned and marched up towards Heidi where Dimitri was holding her protectively in his arms. Why couldn't she just have him instead?!

"Where is she?!" I shouted at the both of them, and I saw them flinched back. I heard a ruffle of sound behind me, and I turned to meet Felix lunging at me with his full strength. So I did what they had taught me in training since I was still a newborn, I caught him and planted my feet on the ground. He seemed surprise, but soon realization took over as I gripped on both of his arms, lifted him up in the air and twirled him before letting him go towards the other two. They didn't see it coming, not when I was using the full capability of my strength and speed. Felix crashed into them, and sent both of them back onto the ground.

I glared at them for a moment, before I turned to sniff into the air. Yes, I could still smell her, and I could find her by myself if I had more time. I heard a sound of roots breaking, and I focused my attention back to Felix, Heidi and Dimitri. Of course, Heidi was standing off to the side, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Felix was doing all the work, while Dimitri was circling around me to find an open spot. In a blur of movement, Felix had approached me while swinging the tree towards me. He didn't know how fast I could move when I was angered, and right now I was very pissed off at the fact that they had kidnapped Alice.

I dodged the oncoming tree, blurred out of Felix's sight and lunged towards Dimitri. He didn't see it coming, so I grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against the tree. The tree broke, collapsing behind him while I held him in my palm. I heard quick footsteps approaching me, so I turned and held Dimitri out in front of them, snarling as I did so.

"Do you wish for the best tracker in the world to die?" I asked them as they both stopped, frozen. I looked over to Felix, and he didn't show any kind of emotions, at all. I looked over to Heidi and I could clearly see the hurt, the pain, and the anger in her eyes. Good, she should be feeling all of those, she asked for it!

"Bella, please, let him go." Heidi pleaded, but I know that she wanted to yell and shout at me.

"Let Alice go first." I snarled, tightening my grip against Dimitri's neck as I heard him gasp for unnecessary air.

Heidi turned to look over at Felix, nodded her head and Felix blurred towards the opposite direction of where we were standing now. I kept my eyes on the both of them; Heidi and Dimitri, until Felix came back with Alice. She didn't look frightened, but the clothes that she had been wearing earlier had now covered up in dirt and mud, not to mention several rips that were coated her jeans, and at the side of her torso. It looked like they had fought her into submission, and even though Alice had her precognitive ability, she couldn't really fight against Dimitri and Felix all by herself. She may be strong and fast, but these two were the best fighters in Aro's guards. So far her to even manage to fight them off, even for a little while, had proven that small people can be a hell lot dangerous.

"She's here, now let Dimitri go." Heidi quickly said, but I didn't really turn to look at her. I couldn't trust her now, not even if we used to have this friendly bond. That bond had now been diminished, because her stupidity had ruled over her brain.

"Trade, and remember, I am faster and stronger than him. If you want him to live, don't provoke the trade." I said sternly, and she nodded and turned to Felix. I heard him huffed, but let Alice go. Alice looked at me, and her eyes dilated for a moment until they came back to reality. She gave me a small smile, and I know that everything was going to be alright. But I still had to make sure of that.

I let Dimitri go when Alice started to walk towards me. This was all playing out like in a movie, except that it was the real thing. Alice and Dimitri crossed path, and I heard a growl emitting from Dimitri, so I growled warningly at him to keep his control in check. I heard Alice stifling a giggle, and I couldn't help but smile when she successfully crossed over and skipped over to me. We locked gaze for a short while, when I turned abruptly to the growling and snarls from opposite me. They would never learn their lessons. A disappointment, they all were.

"Do you wish for Aro to know about this?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at the three of them. Their eyes went wide, and they took a step back as if I had hurt them in some way. They both knew that Aro favored both me and Alice, and if any harm would come to us, the people that involve would be speaking with Aro, personally.

They looked at each other, then quickly looked back at us when Heidi took a small step forward. "We won't talk of this if you won't tell him about this." Her stupidity continued to grow. I wonder if there was some kind of fungus growing in there, even though it might sound impossible for it to.

A/N:

Hehe a cliff hanger. I was about to continue from that, and really I did, but then I was like 'Wait, I'm just gonna have it as a cliff hanger just for kicks', and I did. Muahaha, hate me now. x3

Other than that, I better write up that part that I was writing before I forget what I was even writing about lol.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. =]
