I do not own Twilight Stephanie Meyers does, I only own Ishbel and her family. (DON'T LIKE THIS STORY; THEN DON'T READ IT)

I turned around and saw five teenage guys surrounding me. They were all wearing dark, long sleeve shirts, blue jeans, and sneakers. I vaguely remember seeing at least three of them drinking at the restaurant, where mom and I had lunch. They all looked to be around 19 or their early 20's.

"It looks like we cornered a little mouse" one of them said.

"Hay who are you calling a mouse! Well I guess if I'm a mouse, then that makes you a speck of dirt" I said, I tend to get mad when people think of girls like that; not to mention I'm not a damsel in distress.

The man growled, and glared at me saying "Why you little wrench."

Just then I felt a hand grab my wrist.

'Big mistake, he left himself wide open' I thought smiling.

Let me give you a little insight. If you grab a person by their wrist, you need to also grab their stomach so they don't have access to your stomach; leaving them or you vulnerable. I turned around and swung my left leg at them, kicking them in their stomach. The guy hit the wall behind me (ME: it wasn't that far away) and he hit the ground not moving, he was unconscious. They stared at me in shock.

"Well it looks like we got ourselves a tough little girl" one said laughing.

I glared and got into another stance. Just then I felt a pair of arms grab mine, pulling them behind me, and whom I guessing was their leader came forward. Here's another little insight (ME: seriously not trying to sound like Michale Westen from Burn Notice I'm just explaining it to those who don't have much insight on Karate and some of the moves she knows). When someone grabs both of your arms and you have another person coming at you, you need to have access to your legs, allow the person to get in front of you, before pushing against the person behind you using their weight to lift you off the ground so you can use your legs to kick the other guy in the stomach. I pushed myself against the guy holding me and kicked the guy in the stomach. He fell to the ground groaning.

'What a bunch of weaklings' I thought.

Though there was just one problem, the guy didn't let go of my arms. The others crowded around me. Just then there was the sound of squealing tires, as headlights shined in the alleyway. I then saw that it was a silver Volvo, and there was only one person I knew that was rich enough to own a silver Volvo. The door opened and Edward Cullen got out. The three guys that were still conscious stared at him. I looked at Edward and saw that he was pissed as hell.

"Look punk this has nothing to do with you" one of the guys said looking nervously at Edward.

"Let her go" Edward growled at him.

The guy holding me released my arms and I turned around kicking him in his side, making him land on the ground in pain (ME: just so you know you also managed to hit a few of their presser points knocking them unconscious).

"Nice of you to join the party" I said to Edward.

"Get in the car" he merely said.

"Who are you my mother" I asked but did as he said.

I got into the passengers side of the Volvo, and I swear I heard someone growl. Edward then walked back and got into the drivers seat of the car. He turned it on and the car roared as it came to life. Edward pulled out of the alleyway and drove down the street. I looked at his face it was full of anger.

"I should go back there and finish them off" he growled.

"Yeah right, one that would send you to prison, and two taking away life is a serious sin in the eyes of our Lord" I said (ME: remember she's a Christian).

He shook his head before saying "Say something, anything to keep me from turning around and ripping those guy's heads off."

I looked at him shocked and saw that if he didn't calm down, I wouldn't doubt that he would kill them.

"How did you find me so fast" I asked my curiosity getting the better of me.

"OK, the truth is I was following you" he said sighing.

"You were following me" I shouted, both offended and flattered at the same time.

"Look I know you can handle yourself and you proved that today, well tonight, but I felt this urge and desire to follow you and make sure you were safe" he admitted.

"Um, thanks, I think. But that doesn't exactly explain how you found me."

"Look I followed you, but then I lost you for awhile, so I drove around and heard your mother's thoughts but you weren't with her-"

"Wait a minuet! Did you just say and admit that you can read minds" I asked interrupting him.

"Yes I can read minds, anyway when I heard that you weren't with your mother I kept driving around in hoping to find you, but then I heard what those lowlifes were thinking" he said glaring ahead of him.

"Wait if you can read minds, oh my gosh this is embarrassing" I said blushing.

"What is?"

"That means you heard everyone of my thoughts sense the beginning of school."

"Actually I can't read your mind."

"What, I can read every single mind except for Bella's and yours, actually when I try to read your mind all I hear is static like a bad TV reception, and Bella's is just silent like one of those old silent movies."

"Wonder why that is. Though for Bella I'm not really surprised, she did seem like a private person."

We then pulled into a small restaurant and I saw my mother sitting on the outside bench. We both got out and I called "Mom!"

She saw me as I got out of the car, she ran over and hugged me.

"Oh Ishbel, you were starting to worry me, when 15 minuets passed I started wonder if something happened" she said and I swear she was on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry mom, I'm fine, thanks to Edward" I said looking at him.

Edward had been hanging back just watching us. My mom gaped at him before saying "Thank you for helping her."

"It was no problem, I was just happy to help" he replied politely.

Seeing how he acted now it would be hard to imagine that just a minuet ago, he looked like could've killed someone.

"Mom this is Edward Cullen from school, Edward this is my mom" I introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" Edward said.

"Yes, well we should be getting a taxi home" mom said.

"I could give you guys a lift home."

"Oh we don't want to trouble we can take a cab."

"It's no trouble at all. Please I insist."

"Alright."
