AN: Hey Guys! Sorry for the late update but July was a really tough month for me. My granddad passed away and I went to England to attend his funeral. I'm back now and will hopefully be updating this story more frequently. I always update my profile, so check there first if I haven't updated in a while. Thanks for sticking with me! Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 7- Threat of Exposure

Forks High

"I can't believe you just broke up with Edward" Angela uttered sadly, leaning beside her best friends locker in disbelief. She was seriously worried about her friend's well being. The last time Bella and Edward separated, Bella went completely wacko and Angela did not want to witness her best friend go through hell and back again. She really thought that once Edward returned to Forks and rescued Bella from her zombie-like state, nothing could ever break the pair up again.

Apparently she was wrong.

"Uhm… who are you again?" Rosalie asked as she quickly shoved Bella's trigonometry textbook back into the locker before anything else could fall out on her.

Rosalie vaguely remembered Bella telling her the names of her human friends but she couldn't quite recall this nerdy brunette's name.

" Angela? Bella, are you feeling okay? You don't seem like yourself," Angela asked worriedly. First the unexpected break-up with Edward and now her best friend couldn't even remember her name?

"That's because…never mind" Rosalie huffed, slamming the locker shut before making her way to the cafeteria in search of Alice and Jasper.

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Rosalie asked the annoying brunette over her shoulder when she realized she was following her down the hallway.

"We eat lunch together, remember? Are you sure you're okay?" Angela repeated her previous question, studying Bella carefully.

"Just forget I said anything! Let's go eat!" Rosalie said desperately. She was in dire need of some food.

Rosalie allowed Angela to take the lead and followed her to their table in the cafeteria.

Rosalie did a quick scan of the cafeteria for her siblings but they were nowhere to be found. This was not good. Alice and Jasper only missed school when there was a serious emergency or when Carlisle took the family out on a hunting trip.

"What if it's Victoria?" Rosalie thought anxiously, having only found out this morning that she was last seen in La Push.

"Bella! I just heard the bad news! How are you doing?" Jessica asked as she approached the lunch table, taking the empty seat beside her.

"Ya Arizona, how you holding up?" Mike asked happily, putting a comforting hand on Rosalie's shoulder. Now with Edward gone, Mike could finally make his move on Bella.

"If you don't get your sweaty hand off of me in two seconds, I will break off all of your stubby little fingers" Rosalie growled.

If there was anyone more irritating than Edward, it was definitely Mike Newton. Rosalie almost felt sorry for Bella because she had to live with Mike's constant advances on her.

Mike shrunk back in fear, surprised at Bella for lashing out at him like that. She was usually so timid. He was suddenly very turned on. An angry Bella was a sexy Bella.

"Has anyone seen Alice and Jasper?" Rosalie asked impatiently, still glancing around the cafeteria uneasily.

"Where the hell are they? School started ages ago!" Rosalie thought nervously.

A loud, sudden bang in the cafeteria startled Rosalie and caused her to spill her coke on the floor. A very Bella kind of move.

Rosalie assumed that it was Victoria who made the noise. She had found Bella at last and was ready to avenge James death.

"Just my luck!" Rosalie thought angrily, " Why does Bella have to be such a danger magnet?"

"Isabella Swan!"

Bella's fierce voice echoed throughout the cafeteria, silencing everyone in it and causing an unpleasant shiver to run down Rosalie's spine.

Now that's definitely not Victoria!

Rosalie froze at the sound of her own voice yelling from behind her. She forgot all about her sister's psychic powers. If Alice knew about the break up, the whole house knew!

" Oh shit," Rosalie muttered, turning reluctantly in her chair to face an angry Bella who was standing only a few feet away. Rosalie never knew how menacing she could look.

"Hey Rosalie, l-long time n-no see. W-what are you doing here?" Rosalie stuttered helplessly.

"Don't play dumb with me" Bella growled, " How could you?"

"Can we do this somewhere more private?" Rosalie whispered, glancing around the soundless cafeteria warily. People were already starting to pull out their cellphones to record a potential fight.

" No. We can do this right here. Right now." Bella replied, her lips curling upwards, exposing some of her very sharp teeth. She could easily expose the Cullen's right now if she wasn't careful!

" Rosalie. Not. Here" Rosalie demanded, trying to hint to Bella that she should calm down.

"Come a little closer then," Bella suggested, only now realizing that there were phone cameras recording their every move.

Rosalie reluctantly stood up from her chair, all eyes on her as she took cautious steps towards Bella, ignoring Angela's pleas to go tell a teacher.

" Okay, here I am. What now? You can't do anything to me he-" Before Rosalie could finish off her sentence, she took a hard blow to the mouth.

"You were saying?" Bella smirked, loving all the power she currently possessed. She had wanted to do that to Rosalie for a long time now. Today, it was finally possible. Even though it would have been ten times better if she had done it in her own body.

Rosalie stumbled back into a table of scared ninth graders. Angela and Jessica quickly ran to her aid.

"Bella, you're bleeding! We have to get you to the school nurse!" Angela insisted, tugging on the sleeve of Rosalie's blouse.

" No. I'm not done here," Rosalie said determinedly, wiping her bloody mouth with the back of her hand.

Rosalie knew she stood no chance against Bella in her vampire body but that didn't mean she was ready to give up that easily.

Rosalie reached behind her and took a fistful of something mushy and slimy. Before Bella could process what was happening, she was hit square in the face with what looked to be like Forks cafeteria's very own mystery meat.

Rosalie smiled triumphantly when she hit her target bang on.

Bella quickly reached for Mike's lunch tray, grabbing the first thing her hand touched and hurling it at Rosalie.

For about a second it was very quiet, too quiet. It was like the calm before a storm. Rosalie and Bella continued to glare at each other, both of them waiting for the other to make a move.

Mike couldn't take it anymore. He knew if he didn't do something now, he might never get another chance.

The immature teenager jumped up onto the lunch table and yelled out, "Food fight!"

All at once, the cafeteria erupted in high-pitched screams and maniacal laughter. It was absolute chaos! Food was flying from every angle of the cafeteria, hitting anyone and everything that got in the way. Bella and Rosalie were quickly forgotten as people grabbed food from their trays and hurled it at their unsuspecting classmates.

"You know, I'd never thought I'd say this, but Edward is a really good kisser," Rosalie grinned maliciously.

Bella's body stiffened, " You're about to cross a very fine line, Rosalie".

" And that night when he was holding me close, I couldn't help but admire how firm, how strong, how hard he felt against me" Rosalie continued.

Bella didn't even want to imagine Rosalie and Edward engaging in those activities. Edward would never allow that anyway. Rosalie was just fucking with her.

Well two could play that game

"Oh honey, Edward has nothing on my Emmett. You see, unlike Edward, Emmett's a real man. You can always expect some tongue action with him, and I don't mean for when we're kissing" Bella winked.

Rosalie flinched in the slightest, " You know what Bella, you're totally right! That's why I broke up with Edward in the first place! He's totally gay!"

Bella suddenly charged into Rosalie, knocking her to the ground with a force not great enough to break bones but definitely forceful enough to leave bruises.

Bella was now straddling Rosalie, pinning her arms above her head. She then leaned down to whisper in Rosalie's ear.

" I can't do much damage to you now but believe me when I say I will ruin your life" Bella promised, her voice dark.

All Rosalie could think about now was Bella hurting Emmett.

"You wouldn't" Rosalie yelled as she struggled to free herself from Bella's iron grasp.

" After what you did to me, you can only hope I let him down easily" Bella growled.

"If you hurt Emmett, then I'll hurt the chief!" Rosalie threatened.

Bella growled, latching her strong pale hands around Rosalie's fragile throat, "You make me sick Rosalie Hale!"

"Rosalie!" Both girls heard Edwards loud, firm voice come from somewhere within the massive food fight. His voice scared Bella into loosening her grip on Rosalie's neck. What had gotten into her?

Edward, looking ridiculous as ever with a glob of ketchup and a piece of broccoli stuck in his thick, bronze hair, angrily shoved his way past his classmates to get to his Bella. He didn't understand why Rosalie was here but through reading enough peoples minds, he knew she was here for Bella.

Edward carefully helped Bella up from the ground and then roughly shoved Rosalie against a wall.

"If you ever touch her again!" Edward started, his voice low and menacing. His hands were suddenly around his sister's neck, deciding whether or not to crush it like a toothpick.

The food fight abruptly ended, everyone's attention now focused on Edward manhandling his sister.

Edward, just like Bella had moments ago, was starting to forget where and who he was. His vampire instincts had completely taken over. His sister had attacked his mate and now he was furious.

Alice and Jasper finally burst through the cafeteria doors. They practically had to tie Emmett down to keep him at home. Having the whole family here would definitely not help their situation. Their secret would be out in no time.

Alice quickly ran to Bella's aid while Jasper ran to Rosalie's.

" Edward, are you crazy? What the hell are you doing, brother? Look," Jasper motioned to their audience with a tilt of his head.

Edward turned his head slightly to stare at his classmates. Their emotions ranged from shock to fear. They had already let out too much and Jasper could sense that. Edward could hear in their thoughts that they were starting to ask questions. The only thing was whether or not it was enough to expose them.

"Rosalie. Leave now before things get worse. Emmett's at home and he's very worried about you" Jasper ordered his sister.

Bella stood motionless, still staring at Edward in shock. She was clutching her neck where he was holding very tightly moments before.

"How could Edward do that to me?" Bella thought sadly.

" Rosalie! Now!" Jasper demanded more forcefully, he could sense the teachers getting closer to where they all were.

Without a glance behind her, Bella ran out of the cafeteria. All of the Cullen's, including Rosalie, were ordered to the office immediately for questioning. Everyone else was forced to clean up the big mess in the cafeteria.

The students of Forks High would definitely be talking about this one for years! This food fight would definitely go down in history as the most dangerous food fight in Washington. Only the students of Forks didn't realize just how dangerous it actually was. Being in a cafeteria with two angry vampires could have resulted in total bloodshed.

Bella managed to escape outside the back doors, and ran straight into the forest just outside of the school. She couldn't believe what she had just done. Starting a fight at school? Was she crazy? It was so unlike her to do something like this. It was as if she were loosing herself completely. She nearly exposed the Cullen's!

Flashbacks of that day in Italy appeared in Bella's mind. She almost lost Edward that day. What happened in the cafeteria today may have caught the Volturi's attention. She could only hope that the Cullen's be pardoned for what she caused.

She hadn't been running for long when she suddenly inhaled a scent so overpowering and vile that it literally burned her nostrils. She coughed violently at the foul stench and covered her nose and mouth.

Bella's hair stood eerily on end, making her hyperaware of the fact that she was no longer alone in the forest. She could hear something moving behind her. Something big.

She was being hunted.

Bella quickly turned around at the sound of a growl but it was too late. The last thing she saw before the darkness consumed her was a glimpse of reddish-brown fur and sharp, jagged teeth.
