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)

After I ate a quick lunch Edward drove me to the dogo.

"Do you want me to come in with you? It might help explain why you're late, I don't want you getting into trouble with your dad" Edward asked/said sensing my nervousness.

"Sure if you want to, you can stay if you want, as long as I'm not taking you away from anything" I said, kind of hoping he would save me from my dad.

"You're not taking me away from anything, besides now I can meet your dad" Edward said getting out of the car.

"If you're sure" I said as he helped me out of the car.

After he locked it we walked inside to see my dad matching with another sensei. When they finished dad came over to me.

"And why are you late" dad asked looking at me.

"Um, I um" I stuttered.

"I apologize, it's my fault she's late" Edward said making his presence known.

My dad stared at Edward and I could tell that dad was a bit angry.

"I don't know why this concerns you? But when someone comes on the attack she alone can defend herself, not you. Besides when this karate tournament comes I want to make sure she's doing 110% out there on the mat, and if she doesn't do that then I guess I'll just need to push her harder" dad almost shouted.

I winced at what he said.

"There's no need to put all the pressure on her, because that's going to be her downfall" Edward said with some anger to his voice.

"Last time I checked, I was her father, not you. Now if you excuse use we have some training to make up for the time she wasted with, Ishbel no more breaks, the longest break you're going to get is 5 minuets" dad said then yelled, "After you change into your uniform I want 20 push-ups on your knuckles, now!"

I winced again.

"I'm sorry for the trouble Edward" I said before quickly heading to the changing rooms.

I changed into the karate uniform, which was white with the karate dogo symbol on the back. I pulled my hair into a bun and ran back out and saw Edward sitting in one of the chairs, and I got down on my knuckles and started doing push-ups. By the time I got to 15 I was straining, and I knew that dad didn't mean to push me so hard; he was only doing this cause he was a bit angry. Actually I'm surprised Edward had decided to stay with how my dad was right now, but I keep forgetting that he's a vampire.

"16,17,18,19...and 20" I breathed and fell flat on my stomach.

I hadn't even started and I was sweating already. For the next half hour I started my usual workout with my dad. Before I knew it my practice for today was over, and I was sitting on a chair next to Edward rubbing my twisted ankle. I managed to twist it when my dad grabbed it when I had swung a kick at him.

"Ouch" I muttered as I gently rubbed my ankle.

"Here let me see it" Edward said.

I scooted back and stretched out my left foot. He took it gently and started to very gently rubbed it. His cold hands helped more then his hands doing the work. Though I was enjoying it.

"How did you do that? It's starting to feel a bit better all ready" I asked/said.

He leaned in and whispered "As a vampire somewhere along the lines I got a medical degree."

I whispered "So you managed to go to college and got a medical degree. How did you pull that off?"

"Carlisle pulled some strings and convinced them that I wasn't under 20 years old" Edward whispered back.

We stopped talking when my dad came over.

"I'm going to head home, I'm sorry about your ankle, you know I didn't mean to hurt you" dad said.

"I know dad, I'm sorry for coming in late, it'll never happen again" I said.

"It better not, and Edward (ME: remember he knows his name from like the 2nd chapter) you make sure she gets home before 10. Ishbel after church tomorrow we're heading to the gym to get in a nice workout" dad said before leaving.

"Edward what was he thinking, knowing that you can read minds makes me wonder what they're thinking" I admitted sheepishly.

"He was thinking of how sorry he was for pushing you and for twisting your ankle" Edward said.

"Oh, anyway I'm going to hit the shower, will you still be here when I get back" I asked.

"Of course, you do need a ride don't you" he asked.

"Oh right" I said realizing what dilemma I would be in, in trying to get home if he left.

"Plus I thought I could take you to dinner" he said.

"Sure, I'd like that, I'm going to hit the shower" I said going to the back.

I took a quick shower, left my hair down, and changed back into my clothes before we left.
