Bella's POV
Discovery
I know that I shouldn't really leave Alice alone with those two newborns. With the werewolves around, her psychic visions were as good as nothing. I know that I shouldn't really underestimate her, but I couldn't help but worry that she might get hurt. I didn't want to see her get hurt, and I didn't care if I'd have to put myself in between the danger to save her. I shouldn't really be focusing on Alice at this moment, knowing that the more I focused on her the more I wouldn't be able to get rid of these trashes; Victoria and Riley. As soon as these trashes were dumped, I could go and help Alice out. I didn't want to leave her alone with those two newborns. Much less, we were under attack from the wolves, I didn't want her to be caught off guard. I didn't want myself to be caught off guard either. The outcome of this little – turned into big – battle was unpredictable.
Victoria and Riley were circling around me, making it hard for me to escape or get a pin on who I really wanted to go after. Well, I wanted to go after Riley first, just to get rid of him before going after Victoria. Well, actually, I didn't want to fight Victoria. Not that I'd know I wouldn't or would win against her, I just didn't want to hurt a woman. I understood that Edward had killed her mate; James, but it wasn't like James really did love her. Their relationship was only of a convenience, so James could manipulate her into thinking that he did truly love her. I wondered if Victoria had a brain. Maybe she had one, but her brain was filled with the thoughts of revenge. I would avenge Alice if anything was to happen to her, so I could only empathize where Victoria was coming from.
I couldn't really dwell on those facts at this moment, not when Riley had made a move for my arm. Tough luck, even if he was a newborn, I wasn't going to let him have my arm. Victoria seemed to be uninterested in the fight, since all she did was just circling around me and Riley as we tried to fight each other off. Riley snapped his teeth at me, trying to get to my face. He had me pinned down, hard, against the ground and he was using all of his strength to do so. I struggled to get free, and when he had let himself slip and kneed him where it would hurt the most; his groin. He bellowed out in pain as he rolled off of me. I instantly flipped onto my feet and bent down to grab him by the hair. Then I saw a flash of red. I didn't turn to see who it was, all I did was throwing Riley's body towards at vampire. When the two bodies collided, it was when I turned to look at the vampire; Victoria.
Honestly, when will she ever learn? Not in this lifetime obviously. She shoved Riley away from her, and made a lunge at me again. This time, I didn't care whether she was a woman or not, she was the reason that Alice was now fighting two newborns at her disadvantage. I felt the monster inside me roar, and now it had taken full control of my body. I let it, and was pleased that a ripple of snarl escaped my lips. Victoria halted not too far from where I could see her, it was only an arm away after all. I didn't know why she stopped, but I didn't care. The look on her face was pure fear, and once again I didn't care. I lunged forward, and she managed to dodge me, merely. When I had caught thin air, I quickly turned and lunged at her again. This time she didn't have enough time to avoid me, and that was then I sent the both of us to the ground. My thighs were locked tightly against her sides, my knees were pinning both of her hands down while one of my hand was pinning her head down. I wasn't going to kill her that easily, I was going to make her suffer, for even thinking of hurting my Alice.
I brought my idle hand up, each of my fingers curling to make a fist individually. My fist came down towards her face, repeatedly fracturing her perfected porcelain face, cracking the beauty that she had held thanked to immortality. When my fist was coming down for…I've lost count, I was being thrown across the field, and my back hit a tree but I didn't stop there. My back collided with a few trees, breaking them in a process, before my body hit the ground at the last tree. My head quickly jerked up and I immediately saw Riley helping Victoria out. Well, this should be fun. The corner of my lips turned up into a sadistic smirk, and instantly I felt something inside of my body started to change, like something was trying to be pulled out of me. At first, the sensation was almost painful, that my life was being sucked out of me. But then it stopped, and I was filled with a feeling of freedom, like I could fly, until I felt as if I had just killed someone.
It was odd, but that wouldn't top the fact that I was now staring at Victoria, or rather, helping her up. Why the hell was I helping her up? After that mental question, and I brought a fist straight into her stomach, making her gasp in surprise. Why the hell was she surprise for?
"Riley…what…are you…doing…?" She asked weakly, her voice was out of breath and she was confused.
Riley? I turned and stared down at my hand. This here was not my hand. Hell, it didn't matter, Victoria was going to hell anyway. I punched her again, now using Riley's body which was rather odd. She choked on some air, not like she would need it. I let her go, and she began to fall forward but before she could hit the ground, I grabbed a hold of her hair, stopping her in mid-air though as she was in a kneeling position. She looked up at me, in fear of what I might do. I smirked down at her, the little sadistic smirk that I remembered James used to give me. I pressed my knee against her back, and bent her backward. There was a few sickening pop, but I didn't mind. Soon, my knee was replaced by my foot, and Victoria was angled in the most painful position of all time, and this had to be the first to be written down in history. There wouldn't be anyone, as flexible as they might be, could have their body being bent back as far as their upper body would allow it. As far as their upper body wouldn't be popping or ripping in half.
"Any last word?" I asked, my venom seemed to be spilling down at the corner of my lips now, but I didn't make an attempt to lick the venom off. Because, that was not my venom, and this was not my body to begin with.
"Riley…why…" She began but I cut her off with a hard jerk, earning me a loud sickening pop and she winced.
"I am not Riley, I'm Bella. And you're thinking of killing off my mate, my Alice, and I cannot let you do that. Goodbye, Victoria. It was nice to see you, again." I grinned down at her, and I bet I would look like a serial killer at this moment. Her eyes widened in comprehension, and that was when I slowly jerked her head back a little bit more, until I quickly yanked her head off. Her body fell down on the ground with a thud, and I dropped her head on the ground, not caring if it would shatter now.
"Now, how the hell am I going to get out of this stupid body?" I asked lowly, and the question was to myself. I started to slap his marble face, but stopped when I could actually feel the pain. This wasn't exactly good, not only that I could control his body, I could feel his pain too.
"This is just lovely." I sighed and turned to look at my body, lying motionless on the ground. I tried really hard to concentrate on going back into my body, but it was in no avail. I sighed, but that didn't stop me from trying. I focused on my body again, and tried to bring up the feeling of when I was being sucked out of my body. And there it was, after several failed attempts, I felt it again. This time, however, I felt as if I was being freed from a prison that I had been put in for decades. And the feeling was soon to be replaced of the feeling of being home.
I twitched, and looked forward. My vision was still a blur, but that didn't go on for long. My vision began to clear when I saw Riley standing there, motionless. His mouth was agape, and his eyes looked like he wasn't even in there. I stood up on my feet, and saw that he was slowly coming into his senses. He gasped, aloud, and looked down at the corpse of Victoria. I followed his eyes, and smirked at what I had done. All too soon, I found my back being pressed against a tree once more, but now with a hand grasping tightly around my neck. Well, I knew who that hand belonged to, so I shouldn't really be laughing menacingly at this moment, huh?
"You…you…BITCH!" Riley snarled at me, bringing his fist back and pushed it forward. His fist made contact with my face, and really, that was the whole reason why I stopped laughing.
I grasped tightly onto his wrist, attempting to squeeze it as he tried to take the air out of my lung. I didn't need it, but the feeling of my neck being crushed underneath his hand wasn't such a good feeling. All the while, his fist was pounding into me, while I tried to loosen his grip. It only worked when he was being pulled away from me, or rather, flung away from me and I heard a thunderous crash. Soon, a pair of petite arms wrapped around my waist, hoisting me up. I smiled at the feel of her arms around me, and instantly brought my arms forward, wrapping and embracing her.
"You're alive…" My voice was barely a whisper, and I could feel that my neck was starting to heal itself now, and it hurt, mind you. Having a few fractured bones to mend by themselves, it wasn't really a good feeling.
Alice tightened her hold on me, a silent sob escaped her lips. I could hear it very clearly, even if she was miles away. "Of course, and I wouldn't leave you, not now and not ever." Her angelic voice rang out through my ears, and I closed my eyes, succumbing to her voice, letting it drown my senses.
"I wouldn't leave you either." I whispered into her ear, inhaling her scent after I've spoken. I felt her sniffled, and I only sighed. She really did believe that Riley would have killed me, did she?
"Now, break it up. It's time for some explanation." A familiar voice said, amused. I opened my eyes to only meet with those golden orbs from Emmett. He was amused, no doubt at our position. I rolled my eyes and pulled away from Alice, though only a little when she was still snuggling into me.
"What is there to explain?" I asked, clearly confused. I turned to look around. The werewolves had phased back into human forms, and they looked like they were about to die. I turned to look at my vampire family, and they looked out of breath. Whoever had managed to stop this pointless fight, they did a pretty damn good job of it.
"Why your body went limp and Riley tore Victoria's head off." Emmett simply answered.
"I tore her head off." I growled.
"Huh?" Was the only word that had left everyone's lips, except for Alice's since she was too busy focusing on my scent…I think.
"Fine, I'll explain, but it might take some time. Why don't you dispose of the bodies?" I asked, while waving my hand at Emmett a little tiredly.
"Yeah, yeah, meet you at the house." He answered and then was gone. Everyone left to gather the bodies and set up fires to dispose of them. Well, explaining this kind of experience would be fun. Not to mention, having the pack sitting in the house with the vampire family, yes it would be fun indeed.
A/N: New power for Bella, although she may keep her current power as Stephenie had given her. But no, she isn't going to be a mental shield for anybody but herself. I've decided to make her stupid to can't really extend her power even with the help with the Cullens. I mean, her mental shield is going to be her own, and she can't protect anyone with it but herself. So, I've given her the power of switching bodies. At first I was just thinking to just give her the power of clumsiness, making other trip and fall ungracefully. Or have her manipulate their movement. But that's just boring. So, having her to be in another body and controlling them, while her body is lay untouched and unmoving can really be her weakness. All powers have their weaknesses y'know. =]
I hope that I've explained enough. Thank you for all of your reviews, and let's see what she has to say for the next chapter huh? ;]
