I wake up to the bird chirping in the near by trees and a little amount of sunlight coming through the windows.I turn around to see the bed empty.The sheets were cold that meant Bella had woken up a longtime ago.I heave myself out of the bed and go to  freshen up.After brushing,showering and putting on a casual blue t-shirt and  jeans i walk out of the bathroom to see Athena sitting on a chair and a tray with orange juice and cucumber sandwiches on the table.

"Good morning,Uncle.Aunt Bella said you like orange juice and sandwiches for breakfast."I was slightly taken aback  that Bella knew about my breakfast menu and i didn't knew anything about her food preferences.I mumble a thankyou and went to devour my breakfast.After downing the juice i ask Athena to led me to Bella because the castle was fucking confusing as hell.

As Athena and i near some kind of playground i hear the sound of metal clashing against each other.I identify the noise as soon as we step on the ground.There in the middle of the ground stood Bella in all black attire a fucking sword in her hands and fighting 4 other armed women.Holy fuck!!  She looked hot. Bella combated with them easily as if she was fucking dancing on the field."Good morning,brother-in-law.I am guessing by your expression that you had no idea about her skills?" Celine asks sliding next to me.She was dressed like Bella but still the attire looked better on Swan. "No i did not know that." We both laugh and then she leans in whisper in my ears,"Watch this."

Before i can understand what she was speaking about she takes a sword from the table and quietly makes her way towards Bella,who had her back to us.I open my mouth to warn Swan but Celine attacks her.Bella turns around at the exact moment as if she somehow knew what Celine was about to do and their swords clash together.The other women move outside. Bella smirks at Celine,"Still trying to sneak upon me,Celine? I thought we esatblished that you can not sneak upon me or defeat me in this lifetime." Bella pushes Celine back with her sword and brings the sword back on her. "There is first time for everything Bella." she heaves back.

I have learnt sword fighting a long way back for fun and had my share of fights but the way Swan used her sword looked almost as if she was floating on air and was  not fighting with a heavy sword.Celine was panting heavily while Swan looked hardly tired.After 15 minutes Bella disarms Celine.I don't know what comes over me i grab a sword and attack Bella from behind.But just like she did with Celine she moves away easily and my sword slices the air where she was just standing.She was shocked by the way her eyes widen.I bring my sword down again but she predicts it and raises her sword to meet mine. "I didn't know you could swordfight?" she exclaims while fighting me.

"Neither did i,Swan." I reply while trying to disarm Bella.Celine too enters the fight and as if she could sense danger she pushes me back and meets Celine's attack.And soon we are fighting two against one.I know it was completely irrational to be fighting unfair but we both wanted to break her defense.But no! we couldn't even get her to slip a foot.We three fought vigorosly but at the end Celine and i were the one to accept our defeat at Bella's hand.We weren't harm except for a cut in my left palm which was bleeding.

"Marvelous Bella." we three turn around towards Nona who applauds her.His eyes looked at her in awe,reverence and pride.Bella takes my left palm in her hands and asks almost harshly,"Why the hell did you not stop?"motioning one of the maids to bring a first aid kit.Her tone makes me angry does she think i am some kind of fragile little boy to fucking weep at a cut? 

"There was nothing to tell,Swan.It barely hurts now"i hiss out at her.But she does not look up from my palm as she wraps a bandage around the wound."You should have fucking not enter."she looks at me furiously."Listen here Swan you are not my anything so drop the act of actually caring about me." I whisper hiss at her.Celine had already drifted off towards her daughter so we were safe.Bella looks at me and then holds my left palm with force so much that i barely contain a hiss of pain and then storms towards another area which looked like shooting range.I follow behind her all the while clutching my palm.How can someone so small be so fucking strong?
