A/N: It's been a while since I last updated and for that I am sorry but I will offically be updating at the lastest every two weeks. It should be now once a week.

"It's time to forget about the past, To wash away what happened last,

Hide behind an empty face, Don't ask too much, Just say

Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie, It's a perfect denial

Such a beautiful lie to believe in

So beautiful, Beautiful it makes me"

Beautiful lie by 30 seconds to mars

"You have to be quicker," screamed the guard.

"I'm trying," I yelled back.

I felt a light shove and the next minute I was on the floor with the guard holding a sword to my throat.

"What the heck was that?"

I pushed him of me and went over to my bottle of blood, "I'm not on form today sorry."

He laughed loud, "Sorry? That's all you have to say? You don't understand Bella you can't have an off day you always have to be on form."

I ran my hands roughly through my hair, "I know."

"Really because I don't think you do. Repeat your regime on that dummy over in the corner. I have to tell your father about your decrease in your progress."

"Fine," I slammed my bottle down carefully as to not break the table.

I kicked my foot at the dummy making it shudder from the contact. What was wrong with me, I slammed my hands into the dummy over and over again as I thought.

I hadn't got any sleep last night; I had been pacing back and forth by my bed. Something had been pulling on my strings about what Edward had said to me, why was he asking about powers for vampires?

Everyone knew I didn't have one, or those that didn't assumed my fighting ability was my power. His eyes had been full of hope like he wanted me to say yes but why?
"Nice swing."

I had been caught of guard I sharply turned and looked towards the direction of the voice.

"Don't do that?"

Edward stood leaning against the door in a pair of loose tracksuit bottoms, white vest top and bare foot.

"Do what exactly?"

"Surprise people."

He laughed, "I don't surprise people I only surprise you."

"Thanks for that."

"Your welcome, anyways Isabella I was wondering if I could practise with you now since you are already at it bright and early I might add."

"I'm supposed to practise on the dummy."

"I'll be the dummy instead."

"I don't think you're a dummy type."

"From you I take that as a complement. Now are you too chicken?"

"I didn't say that," I smirked.

"Good," he charged at me.

My sense heightened like they always did when I fight. When it came down to the fight itself, the moment his body touched mine I stopped moving. I tried to gain control of my body but I couldn't do anything. Just like before I ended up slammed down on the floor but this time Edward was pressed on top of me.

Why the heck could I not fight today?

I wined in protest.

"You're supposed to try and make it hard for me to win," he wined.

"I know I haven't been feeling well sorry but do you think we could just try something else."

"Sure how about swords?"

I smiled, "What do you want to know?"

"How the heck you make it faster than me?"

"It's no big secret you just channel your speed into the sword."

Edward looked like he got hit by a carriage, "What?"

I was going to have to break it down for him, "When you run you channel all your energy into your legs and arms right?"

"Yes."

"Well it's like that but you put it into your sword arm. That makes you move faster, the only kink is that you are slower. It doesn't matter though the sword gets the person anyway."

"Can I try?"

"Depends."

"On what exactly?"

"Who's your target?"

"Can't I practise on you?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Let's just say the first time I learnt this was when I was eight and I had very little control. As will you when you try, you have to have control first before I give you a real sword."

"So how do I practise?"

I walked slowly over to the weapon's closet, "With this?"

I chucked the object out the door and he caught it.

"You're kidding right?"

"Nope."

I tried to contain my giggled but it was too much not to laugh. Standing across from me was a 6'2 Edward Cullen holding a child's wooden sword. I dropped back and laughed, instead of landing on the floor I fell onto a shield that caused the row of shields next to it all fall down.

Edward tossed his head back and laughed, "I feel so much better now."

"Good," I got up and walked to the door Edward continued to laugh. "Happy practising."

"Isabella," he called.

I turned back around, "Yes Edward."

"I can't do this on my own; I have no clue what I'm doing. Please help me."

"Ok," I ran back to him.

For the next hour I showed Edward how he had to learn to balance control better, it ended with five smashed up dummies and me smiling brightly that it wasn't me. Although that could have been me when the wolf attacked me, I stopped sharply.

"I just remembered I was meant to go see a friend, you can practice with me later if you like."

He smiled, "I would."

I put the equipment away before heading out the gym leaving Edward behind.

I knew where I was going, I had to be quiet and draw as little attention to me as possible which was hard since I was the princess. I kept in the darkest parts of the house as possible; I ended up sneaking out the back door and running as fast as I could out into the forest. I got out somehow and slowed down into a walk as I made my way up the pathway. I still kept in the trees making sure I could not be seen from anyone passing by.

The woods smelt like wet dog from last night's rain, I kept my body as tight as I could so nothing touched me. I didn't want anything to touch me. I felt a crunch of a twig breaking, I looked around fast. No one was there; I imagined it I'm sure I did.

I looked down at the ground and noticed I had no shoes on, my pale feet where covered in mud. Great how was I going to explain to dad why my footprints where going to be all across the floor?

My arms felt bare I touched them with my fingers; I was still wearing my gym clothes. Which was a white tank top and black tracksuit bottoms, when I left it hadn't crossed my mind to change clothes. It was too late to turn back now it would have been a waste of a journey, I carried on.

I felt my body fighting against me to go back, I shouldn't be here it was dangerous to come here alone. I had to know if I was imagining the whole thing, if I was crazy or not. Before me stood the clearing of where I had been attacked, it looked like any other place except trees were snapped off leaving only the base of the trunk behind. I touched them lightly with my fingers, nothing. The ground was muddy like every other part except something caught my eye. I walked over to it and ran my fingers over it, I knew I wasn't crazy. The wolves were back and we where all in danger. I turned around quickly and ran away as fast as I could make myself go. The only problem was I had to tell Dad, but first I was going to solve this vampire problem. We had to become one to fight this enemy otherwise we all would die.

EPOV

I had followed her, there was no way she was going to see a friend. The others had all came over yesterday and I'm pretty sure Mike wasn't a close friend of hers. She was going somewhere she shouldn't be I knew that much. She kept herself hidden in the shadows, me I hid myself in hers. I followed every step she took no way was I losing her. I had to know the truth why was she lying about what happened at the accident? Vampires don't get sick. She fights too good not to be able to kill another vampire right then and there. Whatever attacked her terrified her to the bone; she hadn't trained for whatever got her.

We arrived at a clearing which wasn't familiar to me; I still knew where we where. It was the only land that didn't belong to a Cullen or Swan House. This was the middle base of the war what did she want to be here for?

I followed behind her as quiet as I could. Not quiet enough as I ended up breaking a twig before she saw me I hid behind the tree. When I came out of hiding I saw the look on her face. It was pure raw fear. I felt bad for her, how was she keeping herself so well together back at her home?

She was walking around for a bit touching the trees lightly and looking around, suddenly her eyes caught something and she rushed right over to look. She didn't look long before running of into the trees, I had to follow her but I wanted to see what she was looking at. I went over to the spot and noticed a big claw mark slashed straight across the tree trunk. It was too big to be a vampire scratch ; it looked like some kind of animal did this.

I turned away and followed behind her.

I wasn't going to lose her, I had to know.

She didn't go anywhere else after that instead she ran straight home, still trying to remain hidden she crept in and went up to her room. She probably had to get changed.

I went to my room too quickly cleaning myself up before heading over to Charlie's office to have a quick word. What he told me would put a few pieces of the puzzle together. I knocked lightly on the door before going in. Charlie was sitting silently at his desk; no one would hear what I had to say his walls were vampire ear proof.

"Sorry to bother you I was just curious about where it was Bella was attacked?"

Charlie looked at me with curious eyes, "The middle land between your and mine."

"No vampire land right?"

"Exactly may I ask why you want to know this?"

"I'm looking into all the possibilities of who attacked Isabella; if it was one of my father's men they will be punished. I am sure though that it is not although better to be safe than sorry."

Charlie sighed, "I'm already sorry. She doesn't deserve what happened to her."

"What did happen to her if you don't mind me asking?"

"When the men found her she was unconscious but by the time she was brought here she was crying out for whoever attacked her to stop hurting her. I trained her to stop this from happening I guess I haven't trained her enough."

"Even the best of us aren't prepared."

"Good luck with your investigation Edward."

I smiled before turning and walking out the room, "Will do."

I walked down the corridor connecting all the dots together, Bella returned to the place where she was attacked. I knew my house hadn't done it the vampires were too loyal, and Bella's friends last night confirmed to me that it wasn't anyone from hers. Could it be a rogue vampire, they don't have any side they go as they please but often they get lonely and end up joining a side. Why here though if it was a rogue vampire it would have left her alone. The vampire could not be rogue if it was helping our side. Although I hardly find what happened to Isabella helping.

I had to know.

I felt a bond of sorts between us, she was like me.

No she wasn't.

Yes she was even if I hated her for it we where alike in so many ways. We where born into a world of hate and greed, what I was yet to know was if she was like everyone else.

I listen around the house for her voice; I heard her talking to a someone. I follow her voice and ended up finding her sitting in a window seat in the corridor looking out at the window.

I walk straight up to her and said, "What were you doing in the no vampire land?"

She looks at me with sharp eyes, "what?"

"I followed you after practice and you went there. Why?"

She took deep breaths, "I was out walking."

"Running would be the correct word. You were attacked there why would you want to go back?"

She is silently thinking away, "I lost a bracelet and wanted to see if it was there."

"You had no bracelets on at the council meeting."

"You don't know what I was wearing that day," she yelled.

"I did that day stop lying, who attacked you I know your covering for them who is it?"

"I've told you before now leave me alone."

She got up and stormed of down the corridor.

I wanted to know for two reasons: the first was she was lying and my house had got involved I had every right to know

The second I wasn't sure yet and for that the second reason scared me.

I stood in my room holding in my hand my gold wrist bracelet, I tightened my palm around it feeling it crunch.

Here you go Edward my broken bracelet.

I leaned against the wall pressing myself slowly down it to the floor.

If I could cry I would be, I hated lying.

I hated lying to my parents, to friends and most of all I hated lying to Edward.

What was I putting myself through?

I got up and padded across my bedroom floor, I had to go find Edward and show him the bracelet.

I had to keep this lie going.

A/N: OK i actually love both my stories but no one reviews this one at all so I don't know can you review and let me know what you think so I know I'm not writing a pointless story.
