"I forgive you."I whispered. He gave me a kiss slowly. I kissed him back and blushed. Xander nuzzled his face into my hair."Xander....I am trying to finish the dishes.."I muttered, trying not to get distracted. Xander pulled away."Alright but your mine afterward. Plus everyone needs to talk about the upcoming battle." I nodded and finished up what I needed too. Then grabbed a bottle of water to take with me. I grabbed Xander's hand as we walked outside. It was getting real cold now. I shivered and bit my lip. I failed to bring a jacket with me to Forks. Xander stopped and shrugged off his jacket."I don't need this anyways."He held it out for my to put on. I blushed as I snuggled into it."Thank you." I said as he grabbed my gloved hand once more and walked with me to the others. If that was our first fight..I don't know what will happen in our next. I shook my head. Everyone was still training. Carlisle and Edward came up to us. But didn't question us holding hands. Maybe Edward already knew. Edward nodded to my unvoiced question. I blushed again. Note to self: Try to control blushing. I saw Edward hold in a laugh. I growled in my mind. Warning the vampire."Yes Carlisle?"Trying to shake off Edward now.

Carlisle nodded."Grace, everyone was wondering if you could show us some of your skills. You trained with the Volturi so you know how they fight. Jacob said you could fight with him. And Emmett offered to fight you too. So we can see how we should use our skills in battle.Only if you choose to help."He looked at me. A fight!?!? I smiled."Of course I will help as much as I can. But I will not take off my gloves. I won't risk it."They all agreed. Finally. I get to get back at that mutt. Smirking as everyone got ready for my performance.

I rolled my shoulders back as Jacob, the brown russet wolf came forward. I pulled my hair up into a long ponytail and slipped out of Xander's jacket. I threw it at Xander. He caught it and chuckled. Jacob was glaring at me.Carlisle stepped between us."Grace!Jacob!This is a sparring match. Don't hurt each other too much."I smirked. Oh, I won't hurt the mutt too much....Thoughts echoed my mind. Carlisle stepped out of the way. Then the fight began. Jacob and I collided. Full force. I could feel that Jacob wasn't holding anything back. So I wouldn't either. Jacob tried to pin me under his huge wolf body. But I slid under him and flipped him.  Jacob got agitated. I did a flip, onto his back. Leaning close to his ear."Is that all you got Mutt?"He growled. Flinging me off of him. I squealed and landed on my feet. Jacob lurched forward and tried to get his teeth into me. I shook my head. I giggled as he came at me. Soon we were wrestling all over the ground.  I got my arms around his torso when he shook again. I fell to the ground, hitting my head on the ground  hard. It made me see stars. Jacob took that opportunity to come at me again. His claws claimed my arm and my side. I screamed out. And closed my eyes. I felt Jacob being pulled off of me.

Xander was growling. Threatening Jacob. I felt immense pain on my side and arm. Someone was checking over me, my guess was Carlisle. I barely could hear him over the pain that was sizzling throughout my body as it was trying to heal. I finally opened my eyes. Growling and hissing at everyone. I didn't like being hurt like that. Everyone backed up. I looked myself over. My outfit was torn and bloody. But my skin was all healed. I stood there, making sure I wasn't hurt anywhere else. I sighed."Emmett! Lets go now!"My anger clouded my judgement. I felt like a red haze came over me. I collided with Emmett with every ounce of my power. I knew that it wasn't a real fight. But my instinct said other wise. I was brought out of red haze when  Xander pulled me off Emmett. The bear of a man was trying not to get his head taken off. Or something. I looked down at myself. I had taken off my glove and was ready to touch him. Xander stopped me from doing so. I pulled my glove back on and tightened it.

I watched as Rosalie checked on Emmett. She wanted to kill me. I started laughing into Xander. He held onto me."I guess thats what you call the Volturi haze." I muttered, knowing that everyone could hear me."I'm sorry. I can't control...."My eyes were fighting to close. My body was overwhelmed. Xander picked me up bridal style and carried me away. Everyone was yelling and growling as we ran farther away.
