Chapter 7: Assassination Attempt

Jeremy ran outside ignoring Bonnie and Elena intending to help the enchanting girl who had made him feel different in a good way. Ever since Anna died Jeremy had been lost and angry for so long. Having only just met this mysterious yet funny beauty just last night it made no sense why he felt so at ease with her and why he was so worried about her when she could have come to Mystic Falls to kill him and his friends. But somehow he didn't think she would do that, though she looks like a total bad ass and her stories are cool he got the impression she wouldn't kill someone. She was not a killer he very much doubted she killed anyone before stories or not.

So it was a shock to him that as soon as he stepped outside he saw the assassin Bonnie sent after the girl destroyed. And by destroyed he meant disfigured, mutilated and broken. The would be Assassin's arm was bent in an unnatural angle, there was a bone sticking out of the skin in his leg and his face was bloody and damn near caved in.

Bella was straddling the body punching his face over and over with no intention of stopping it seemed. Bella's clothes were covered in blood especially on her right side near her ribs. While the blood all over her clothes was obliviously not her own the area where her ribs were bleeding most certainly was.

Sweating and shaking in both pain and rage Bella kept punching the man who shot her and who she suspected that complete and utter bitch Bonnie hired to kill her, though knowing who the man is Bella wondered if he offered to do the job for free she honestly wouldn't put it past him. Bella felt betrayed and pissed off! Bella had done nothing to warrant an assassin after her ass and the fact that the two Gilbert's knew about this and didn't warned her? Well, let's just say that she won't be letting her guard down around them again and she definitely won't trust either of them again.

"Bella? BELLA STOP!" Jeremy cried but Bella was not done, not done by a long shot. Bella knew just who had attacked her and it sickened her that the Gilbert's would allow this, especially since they don't know her enough to see her strengths and what she will do when provoked.

But now they will see!

Jeremy couldn't bear to stand by and watch anymore. Cautiously he approached the raging brunette and gently placed his hand on the feral girl's shoulder trying to calm her down some, which proved to be a very big mistake.

As soon as he touched her she growled and whirled around to punch him but he quickly caught her fist easily before she could much to her frustration. "Stop," Jeremy pleaded softly looking into her eyes hoping to calm her. After a moment of tense silence broken only by her panting breaths she finally eased up a bit.

Roughly breaking her grip from him Jeremy frowned at the sudden loss of the warmth of her hand, he was distracted by her leaning close enough that her lips were a breath away from his. Jeremy's eyes involuntarily flicked down to her lips and he wondered what it would be like to kiss those plump lips. He was so distracted by the thought of kissing her he almost missed what she said. Almost.

"Fuck you!"

With one last glare at him and the house she sauntered back to her car and drove off leaving Jeremy standing there.

Author note:

Ok so to clear something up. It may look like I hinted that Jeremy and Bella are going to be paired. Keep in mind that the poll is still up so don't worry this is not the final pairing I just wanted to express Jeremy finally acting like a hormonal teenage boy. Since the only time he acts like a hormonal teenage boy is around Vicky and once she was killed off he turned all Emo even in the romance department. Kissing ghosts seriously! Anyway, put a hot furious girl who is kicking a grown man's ass in front of him one moment and then is in kissable distance the next and let's see how you react! So now Bella is pissed off at the Gilbert's and we know the plot. Who do you think is the assassin?

Review and let me know what you think!
