/N: Messed with the timeline a bit here. Bella & Edward never went to her mom's for spring break. So he didn't know them in this xx Alexis

Bella

What an absolute, total fucking loser. He stood there outside the bathroom doorway trying; I presume it was to intimidate me. With his new bright red eye colour and arrogant stance. I looked him up and down disdainfully, not quickly, but with a deliberately slow gaze. Then eventually met and held his eyes, before yawning in his face. Then deliberately turning away to lie down and pretended to get ready to go to sleep. He was beyond infuriated and trashed the whole bedroom around him. As I lay with my back to him, imagining he wasn't even there.

But due to his constant ramblings that first couple of days I did find out how he'd gotten to me. Edward had set up a decoy. Some random vampire who thought he was playing a prank on the tribe on Edward's behalf. That far his plan had worked out exactly as he'd imagined, he assumed the pack would kill him, he'd conveniently forgotten to mention the wolves. Edward knew Peter and Charlotte were away, he got the guy to distract the pack and found himself beyond lucky that Jasper was hunting and I was alone. But he had never suspected I would be able to defend myself against him.

I refused to leave my safe haven at all, not wanting to lose my only water supply and even if he had food out there, he could have tampered with it. He kept asking himself why I wasn't reacting like he had decided I would. Just proving to me he knew nothing about me at all. God, I was starting to get hungry, but I wouldn't let it get me down. I just had to hold off long enough for Jasper to find us.

Then Edward changed the whole game plan on me, he demanded I leave the house and get in his car several times on day three. I, of course, refused saying, you guessed it,

"Fuck off Eddie!"

The bastard then set fire to the house with me in it. I had no idea how my shield would cope with that at all. As far as I was concerned, I had no other option but to stuff my CD player in a plastic bag I'd found and climb into my tub full of water. I soaked the duvet and sunk down under it and waited with my nose and eyes above the waterline. The noise was beyond scary, but I barely felt the heat and eventually, when everything was quieter I peeked out from under it. Only to find the house all gone except the bit of floor my bath stood on, heaps of debris and burning house strewn all around me.

A demented Edward was pacing about outside and he looked a little worse for wear. I had the feeling he'd tried to get to me before the fire really took hold. He had obviously almost set himself up, shame he hadn't succeeded. I was beyond angry that he would risk my life like that. I realised my shield was flexing violently around me and I shoved some flaming timbers at him. He jumped clear as they crashed down on his precious new Volvo which was behind where he'd been standing and I got the satisfaction of watching him run away as it exploded.

Well, the view here, wherever here was, is spectacular, but we were in the middle of absolutely fucking nowhere. This was definitely one of the Cullens houses because I could see a greenhouse, not too far away. Boy will Esme be pissed about this, probably blame me for it too. So before the moron came back I scuttled down there for a look and yes, there were a couple of old apple trees and some overgrown tomato plants as well as random peas and potatoes growing in there. I collected any clean containers for my water and by the time Eddie got back I was in residence and eating slowly, so as not to be sick.

I'd also collected some burning lumps of timber in a metal can and had put a few potatoes in there to cook; damn they will be so good. I might not get another chance at having a fire for a while, so I made the most of it and baked some apples too. I managed to dry my clothes as well, no point getting sick. The tomatoes were huge beefsteak ones and perfect on their own and who doesn't love raw peas straight from the pods. I found a knife and string and all sorts out there including candles, thank you, Esme, hah!
