ISABELLA'S P.O.V

                                                                      We are in deep shit.

Leo followed me all the way to the school bar. I grab a bottle of vodka and sit down, drinking it. 

"Isa..." I sigh, knowing where this is going. "She's not Angela anymore-" 

I turn until I am facing Leopold with a glare on my face. "Leo I didn't change one bit. She could learn to adjust-"

 Leo growls at me and I know his mind is made up, about Angela and his brother Hector. There will be no further arguing in his mind.

"Isa, she wasn't turned into a vampire. It is not the same thing. She chose to turn into a mutt. It's different for them."

"It looks to me they are more humane than vampires-" I start to say.

"Are you serious?!" It comes out in a growl. I nod at him. "They do not like vampires! They are small-minded creatures. The second I turned into a vampire my brother hated me. He would not hear anything I had to say-"

Just like humans.

"Leo. Hector changed. He's been trying to-" I start to say.

I can't finish because Leo growls at me getting closer and resting his hands on each side of my shoulders shaking me as if trying to shake something off me or maybe shake some sense into me.

"You do not know Hector. So stop thinking you do. I'm not going to argue about this with you anymore! You are not going anywhere near Angela-" I open my mouth to tell him he's not the boss of me. "This is a command." Leo finishes grabbing the bottle of vodka that's on my hands and gulps from it.

My mouth hangs open in disbelief. "You can't--" I whisper, but I could feel my body taking the command and obeying Leo immediately.

 Leo takes another big swig from the bottle. Then he turns and stares at my eyes. "I forbid you, to meet with either Angela or Hector without me." 

I can feel my knuckles clenching my fingers too hard, I grit my teeth from the effort of trying to be silent, I could feel my hunch form exuded an animosity that's like acid-burning, slicing, potent.  I can feel my face red with suppressing rage, and when Leo tries to put a hand on my cheek, I lose it. I grab his hand wretch it until it twists and pulls him down hard forcing his body to bend or make Leo snatch his hand back. When Leo bends slightly and his hand goes towards my elbow no doubt to take me down I use the impulse to jump slightly and lock my legs around his neck as I whirl around him until my body is in front of his chest legs lock tightly around his neck still.  I let gravity and the force of my attack throw us both to the floor.  My body to the side of him, his head around my legs who are lock and I have one of his arms behind me twisted to keep him in place. His free hand is on one of my legs just laying there limply. I took him by surprise.

"Why would you treat me like this?!" I snarl at him twisting his arm further.

Leo chuckles slightly amused by my little attack instead of being angry. "You are brand new at being a vampire. I have a lot more experience when it comes to werewolf's-"

"Don't you think I should earn the experience by just living life without any interfering from you?"

"No. Because at the rate you are going. You're not going to live long enough to get them!" He snaps at me.

With that, I free his head from my legs and scoot back to give him some space, and stand up slowly still glaring at him. Leo stare's right back waiting for me to deny his logic.

"Leo... It's not normal to just give up on people this easily, we should-"

 I swear the look I get from Leo is the dictionary definition of a glare. "That sentence right there is the reason why I command you. You are going to get yourself killed!" 

His tone is desperate, scared. Leo takes a step towards me and puts a hand on my cheek. I slap it away angrily making him hiss in annoyance.

"You should let me make my own choices-" I press.

"I can't," he murmurs. I purse my lips annoyed at him. He lifts his hand again and put it on my cheek. I am about to slap it away again when he speaks. "I am scared. I am so scared Isa. You have no idea how the way you are scares the hell out of me." His thumb rubs again my cheek melting my anger away like Ice under the sun. "Just the thought of you going behind my back to see Angela and getting hurt in the process... Is something that's driving me crazy." I relax against his touch. I can't find fault within his words. I take a step towards him and lean my head against his chest. He caresses my hair softly.  "So, for the love of what's good which is you just put a little malice in that heart of yours-" I step back and look up at him with a smile.

"How much malice?" Leo stares at me with an eyebrow raise. He knows I am teasing him. "Shall I turn off some of my feelings?"

"No! Don't go that dark," Leo says fast. "But don't be so pure and good. You are a vampire. You should start acting like one."

"I can't," I tell Leo honestly. 

"Then be good at defending yourself." 

I arch an eyebrow at Leo's words. "I think throwing you against the floor is proof enough that I can in fact take care of myself. Not only that. I have been taking care of myself since I was a child-"

"There's a difference now. Even with humans, you knew who could be dangerous to you and when it came to the supernatural well everyone was the enemy. You change the way you see things and although I am glad that you see that everything is not black and white is not safe for you to be giving the supernatural the benefit of the doubt. They don't deserve that. Especially since a bite from a wolf WILL kill you."

"Fine. What you want me to do?"

"Well, I want you to listen to me. I need to go over the rules again. We need to really train. I need to make a schedule to have you in your free times."

"Fine."

"Ok, I do need to go and talk to the council. I want you to finish whatever you have left to do at school and meet me in my room at eight." Leo pulls me to him into a hug. I let him feeling his hands cross around me with his chest on my back. Leo's hot breath tickles my skin creating goosebumps whenever his breath blows.

"We will just spar right?" I ask nervously.

"Sure if that's what you want," he murmurs against my neck. Leo presses his hard-on to my backside for effect as he talks again. "But you and I know things do get heated whenever we are involved."

I break free of his embrace and turn towards him with a grin. "We will only spar tonight Leopold."

"Fine. I do need to leave. Stay here. Ok?"

"Why are you asking? It's not like I can go around looking for them. It's physically impossible." I say with disdain.

"Because I know you. Isabella... Why are you so set on trying to save someone who's not your friend-"

"Leo... She was-"

"Look... Angela is overreacting. Even when I took her with me." I turn my face to the side and wince. That still hurts. "ISA." I sigh and turn back to look at him. "Angela knows exactly why I left, and why I took her with me. Hell, she's just been trying to keep you away from me. She knows where my heart is and always will be... She saw it every day, she did not give a fuck-"

"I am not her-" I protest.

"Thank God for that," 

Leo Leans closer to my lips and a gasp escapes my lips. "Let's-" I start yet again.

"Let's not. Isa..." His tone becomes soft as if what he's about to tell me next is only for my ears and my ears only. "You are the only thing good I have in my life. I am not going to let Angela hurt you. I am sort of glad she and my brother found each other. Now she won't focus on you so much." I smile amused at Leo.  "Besides if she pisses me off too much I can just kill her-"

"Leo," I say warily.

"She's not human. If she pushes me. I'll be forced to-"

"Leo... Please. Don't hurt her," he sighs. "You can't just kill everything that stands in your way, is not normal."

I don't know what I said, but there's a look on Leo's face that makes me wonder about something. It was as if he's hiding something from me. Something big, as I keep looking at his face trying to decipher what it is, but just as fast as it came it's gone and I can't read him anymore.

"Isa... There are a lot of things I want to tell you that I can't," he gulps in pain. "But I know I don't need to say them regardless if one thing you have is that you're smart. Until you put a little malice in your heart. I will protect you. Even against your will."

"Leo... I owe her-" I press.

"No, you don't!" Leo snaps.

"You kissed her first, you took her with you-"

"I Just finish explaining to you-"

"Yeah, Yeah. And I get that Angela knows. I-" I bit my lips debating if I believe him. He's so hot and cold with me that is hard to know what the truth is. "But regardless This is the consequence of your actions. And now we have to live with them-"

"Isabella where is this martyr attitude coming from? I would hate for you to be one now-"

"I am not being a martyr. I am being compassionate-"

"That's a weakness that will get you killed."

"It hasn't yet-"

"It will."

 I roll my eyes at Leo. "I wish I met you when you were human." It is out of my mouth before I can stop it. Leo stares at me with a wary expression. He knows damn well I am changing the subject.

"You are a thousand years late for human Leo," he smiles at me.

"Leo if you're so worried about me. You should have left me evil. When I was human, I was just a kid that didn't know about life and the only life I took was the vampires.  I never wanted to be a slayer because... Killing is not something I enjoy. We are not gods to take life like that-"

"Stop it! The evil girl I found at school wasn't you! This is not you! You are not a martyr."

"I can't be a monster-" I murmur.

"You will never be a monster." Leo leans towards me even more. "I will hide you away, tide you up, and lock you away." 

I smile amusedly at him. "Is that as a protection technique or a fantasy?"

Leo smiled warmly at me. "Both?" he says teasingly. "Promise me you will stay near me and on school grounds."

"I promise." 

If Hector and Angela look for me, that's another story.

"You swear?" He whispers.

"I swear," I whisper right back. Leo leans toward me. Leo's lips brush mine softly, then his tongue press to the seam of my lips and at my grant of access delved inside my mouth. My hands reach instantly his neck pulling him closer to me.

He steps back this time and once again we are both breathing heavily. "Behave. I'll be back," he murmurs and starts to walk away from school. I just stare at him wondering if there would be a time where I can reject his charms...
