Hey all my SR fans! Thanks, for the millionth time, for the faves, reviews, and subscrips to this story. I really appreciate, and I'm forever in your debt. Hehe.

Onward with Spyward! Oh, and Bella, too, I guess, haha.


"Sorry in advance," I murmured, moving my hand to the same spot on Cullen's body.

Cullen just rolled his eyes. I pressed down as hard as I would let myself and he immediately passed out. Hopefully he'd be out until after he was chained up again.

I sat in the chair until the pilot's came to me. I didn't want to blow my cover.

I smiled apologetically at them. "Sorry, he must have been drunker than I realized. Care to help me again?"

"Sure thing, Miss," one of them answered, pulling Cullen off the seat and onto his shoulder.

He got out of the plane first, followed by the other pilot and me.

"Are you two going back to the Alps?" I asked.

The other pilot nodded. "We bring all the customer's to Volterra."

I smiled sweetly and the man. "Take good care of my uncle for me, okay?" That should keep my name off the suspects list.

He smiled back. "Sure thing, Miss."

Jacob was leaning against that rusty old Chev that I loved. His arms were crossed and he was smirking at me. This was amusing to him.

"You can just set my brother in that truck," I commanded, pointing to Jacob's truck. "Thank you both so much." I smiled before walking to Jacob.

They set Cullen in the passenger's seat and went back into the plane. When I was sure they weren't looking anymore, I quickly chained Cullen's ankles and wrists.

I closed the passenger's door and Jacob was standing beside me. I smiled and received a bear hug from my only friend.

"It's good to see you, Jacob," I murmured against his chest.

"You too, Bella," he replied, giving me one more squeeze. "You're a lot thinner than last year. You're losing muscle, girl."

I punched him playfully in the arm. "Shut up, Jake. I'm just as strong, if not stronger, than I was last year."

"Sure, sure," Jacob answered, waving his hand dismissively. "Let's get you back to my place before anyone recognizes pretty boy there."

I laughed quietly as I hopped into the cab of Jake's truck. I let Cullen lean against me as Jacob drove to his tiny house near the centre of Phoenix.

Surprisingly Cullen remained unconscious for the entire truck ride, giving Jacob and I plenty of time to talk. I needed to decide who my next target was going to be soon.

Jacob flopped Cullen on his couch after I shut the door.

"That guy is going to be out for a while, Bella," Jacob observed. "What did you do? Shoot him some morphine?"

"Ha ha," I scoffed. "I used the pressure point at the base of his neck. He passes right out."

Jacob nodded before plopping down in front of his computer.

"So, we need to pick your next target before he wakes up," Jacob murmured. "Which one do you want to get over with first? The physically draining psycho or the emotionally draining doctor?"

"I don't know," I groaned, putting my face in my hands.

"Personally, I think you should kill Cullen last," Jacob answered. "Then, if you decided you don't want to kill anyone anymore, the better man will still be alive."

I considered this. Maybe I would be content with just killing James. Then at least I could spare a life.

But, if I killed Cullen first, I'd probably be numb enough to kill James quickly. Then again, the numb feeling could be an enemy, too.

"James it is," I decided. "Find out everything for me, Jacob. I want to get this over with quickly."

Jacob smiled at me reassuringly. "Don't worry about it, Bella. There's only two left. Maybe even one."

I smiled weakly back. My stomach was in knots. James was the one kill that made me nervous. He was so strong and domineering. I didn't know what the outcome of this fight would be.

I guess it didn't matter how things turned out. I would rather die trying to reach my goal than giving up to live a long and boring life.

"Shit," Jacob muttered. "I have to go grab my charger from Leah's."

"Who's Leah?" I asked.

Jacob grinned sheepishly. "The girl I'm seeing right now."

"Jacob Black!" I gasped. "You? With a girlfriend? Are you serious?"

Jacob rolled his eyes. "No, I'm lying."

I grinned. "Good for you, Jake. I'm happy for you."

"Thanks." He smiled and closed the door behind him.

I sat down on the chair across from Cullen. My mind was swirling. My brain kept remembering James in a million different scary situations. Like when he beat the shit out of Mike Newton when he found out what he did to me, when he took me to Project R headquarters, when he tortured me during training... It was all bad news for me. He'd had controls over me since I met him. There was no doubt in my mind that he could still exercise that control.

Cullen groaned and moved around on the couch.

"God dammit, Bella," he grumbled.

"Sorry," I murmured, smiling.

"I wish I could beat the shit out of you." Jesus, he was blunt. "I'd teach you a lesson or two."

That cocky son of a bitch.

"Oh yeah? Bring it on, pussy," I challenged, standing up. "I'm serious. I'll unchain you if you promise only to fight me and not try to run away."

Cullen sat up, surprise clear on his face.

"Seriously?"

"Yes," I answered. "I'm damn sick of you complaining like a girl and talking about how much stronger you are than me. Prove it, you cocky little shit."

Cullen's eyes narrowed. "It's a deal, bitch. I'll shut up if you win, but if I win, you have to swear you won't go after my dad."

I walked over to him and shook his chained hand. "Let's take this outside."

I picked Cullen up and threw him over my shoulder, walking out into Jacob's backyard.

"Hey, you have to unchain me!" Cullen exclaimed.

"No shit, Sherlock," I muttered.

I dumped Cullen onto the grass and undid his chains. I tossed them to the side and got into a common defensive position.

Cullen rubbed his wrists and stood up slowly, giving me a mean glare. He raised his fists and moved towards me slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. Except instead of finding prey, he was finding a stronger predator.

"Bring it on, pretty boy," I taunted, shifting my weight forward.

Cullen lunged at me. I easily darted out of the way. Irritated men were always so easy to read in a fight. They were too eager, making their movements less decisive. All I had to do was keep taunting Cullen and I'd win this fight.

"That all you got?" I smirked. "Looks like it'll be a–"

Cullen took me by surprise by tackling me mid-sentence. He straddled me and pinned my wrists to the ground.

"Cocky women are so easy to read in a fight," he murmured in my face. "They do more talking than they should, leaving them vulnerable."

I shifted underneath his weight, trying to wiggle out of his grasp.

"Funny, I thought that I had the upper hand," I muttered sarcastically. "Eager men are easy to read, too. All I have to do is taunt you and you come full throttle."

I shifted again and Cullen gripped my wrists harder. Thankfully I had slipped my waist out from underneath Cullen. I kicked my legs up, locking my ankles around his neck, throwing him to the ground.

I quickly got back on my feet, more prepared for an attack.

"Don't they teach you anything in the FBI?" I asked as Cullen got back to his feet.

Cullen shook his head and rubbed his neck before getting back onto his feet.

I assessed my surroundings as Cullen tried to rub away the pain. Jacob didn't have much in his backyard. There was a bench in the far right-hand corner, a big swing in the far left-hand corner, and a small garden near the house.

Cullen finally got back into his fighting stance. We began circling each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

When my back was pointed towards the swing, I quickly turned and sprinted to the corner. I turned around after I got past the swing and jumped, grabbing onto the top bar. I started swinging back and forth as Cullen tried to approach me from an angle that I couldn't swing to.

But he made a mistake. He tried to run in front of the swing. I quickly let go of the bar and leapt at him. He just made it by me. I landed in a crouch.

Cullen stopped and turned to face me. I did a roundhouse kick and connected with his jaw. He staggered a couple of steps before falling onto the grass. He wiped his face and got back up, punching me in the hip. It probably hurt him more than me. I backhanded him across his left cheekbone. We were both breathing heavily now.

Cullen pulled back his arm. I closed my eyes, waiting for his fist to connect with my cheek.

But nothing happened.

I opened my eyes again and saw Cullen with his hands on his knees. He looked up at me and shook his head.

"Fight back!" I screeched. No one had ever given up on me before. "Don't just let me win."

He shook his head again.

I pushed him lightly, trying to provoke him.

"Come on!" I jibed. "Don't be fooled because I'm a woman."

Cullen gave me a tired look.

I roared in irritation, grabbing him by the shoulders, pulling his body up, and kneed him in the gut. He let out a pathetic "Oh" and then doubled over, holding his stomach.

Waves of rage crashed over my body. Cullen stood up straight again, looking at me grimly. I slapped him as hard as I could. There were already bruises forming on his cheek and jaw. He just remained calm, holding his ground.

I wound up to slap him again, but this time he caught my hand. I broke down, tearless sobs heaving from my chest.

"Fight back," I pleaded pathetically.

Cullen shook his head again. He pulled me closer and crushed his lips to mine.


This is probably my favourite chapter, no lie. That little part at the end (where Edward grabs Bella's hand as she's about to slap him, and then kisses her) has been playing in my mind since I started this silly fanfic. So it felt good to get it out.

WHATDA THINK!? Where do you think this'll go? Hehe, it might not be what you expect...

Anyway, the playlist for this fanfic is now on my dA page (www(dot)ladyinblue6(dot)deviantart(dot)com/journal/21890540/. It'll be on there now, if anyone's still interested in the music.

I've got kind of a schedule going for my three fanfics now. I'll write a Suave Secrets chapter, then a The Dirty and the Delicate chapter, and then a Seducing Revenge chapter. I need to give equal attention to all of my fanfics, although I'd prefer to just work on this one, haha.

Review, please and thank you!
