My nightmare played over again in front of my eyes. Walking down the Port Angeles Street, and being followed by the men. But this time it wasn't the four that had haunted my dreams for months now. Mike Newton was in their place. And there was no Edward there to come and pull me from the path of the closely approaching predator that was slowly coming closer and closer to me.

My mind was screaming at me to run, but another part of me knew I wouldn't make it ten strides.

He crept closer and closer until he was inches from my face.

"Isabella Marie Swan," he caressed lovingly, "how beautiful you are tonight."

"Get away from me!" I whispered.

"Fear is a sign of passion, Bella. We both know that I can give you everything that the idiot Edward is unwilling to. Just come with me."

"Get away." I hissed.

"I don't think I will at the exact moment, thank you."

"Remember that Charlie is a cop. If you hurt me, he won't hesitate to throw you strait into jail."

"Oh really," Mike laughed, "he's the one that agreed I'm better than Cullen." He said that last word with as much hatred as he could muster.

"Leave me alone!"

"Why?" he ordered, becoming extremely angry. "Do you not agree with your dear father?" he sneered.

"Edward is a thousand times better than you will ever wish to be!"

"Would you like to confirm that? My lips are free for experimentation."

"You're worse than Jacob Black!"

"The dorkishly tall kid from La Push? I doubt I could be that bad. Still, you'll never know unless you examine all of your options."

"Get away from me or I'll scream!"

"And who will hear your scream, princess? There's nobody around for blocks."

"I'll kick you where there is no turning back."

"Whoa, Bella. We don't need to get carried away, now do we?"

"Who's the one getting carried off?" I asked while slowly advancing on him.

"Wh- what are you doing?"

"Just giving you what you deserve."

Reviews?

Honestly, this story has progressed quite a bit so if you like it at all, I favor later chapters.

I also just posted a new story- Boarding Bella, which I like a lot myself… maybe more than this one…
