Synopsis: A stalker is trying to get close to Edward Masen, a green-eyed 24 year old concert pianist. He hires Elite Guardians to keep him safe from the one who is hunting him. Bella Cullen is the owner and operator of ELITE GUARDIANS, along with her brother and sister. They have pledged to keep Edward safe. She’s also a 110 year old vampire.

The young woman was jogging through the park. She really didn’t expect to have any company as it was 4 a.m. The birds were just starting to stir in the pre-dawn light. They didn’t notice her passing, she was so quiet. The early spring air caressed her smooth cheeks as she moved swiftly along the main path of the park.

She suddenly stopped and turned her head towards a sound that shouldn’t have been there. It was the sound of an accelerated heartbeat…a slap and then a whimper.

“I TOLD you that this would happen if you didn’t listen to me!” Another ringing slap sounded through the darkness and then the sobbing began. The sound of a foot making contact with something soft came to her ears. Without a thought for herself, the woman sped in that direction. She slowed as she neared the light of a street lamp. A woman was kneeling on the ground, a man towering over her, his hand raised to strike again.

“I told you that I’d never let you go, but NO, you had to run, you had to try and hide.” He sneered down at the woman at his feet. Her face was in her hands, her head bowed as her shoulders shook with sobs. “Where could you go anyway? No one wants you.” His fist started to fall again. Before it could make contact it was stopped in place. A small, pale hand enclosed his.

He was startled and looked down into the face of an angel…A very MAD angel.

“I would stop now, if I were you,” she said in a quiet musical voice. He was shocked at the coldness of her hand, at the strength she exhibited and at the dazzling smile she displayed.

“Hey Baby, let me finish this and we can find some place to get to know each other.” He leaned closer, drawn in by a scent that was filling his head with desire. But he was confused too, she was so small, how could she be holding back his fist? And, wait, was that scent good? Or was it causing the hair on the back of his neck to rise?

With a small smile on her face, the angel flicked her wrist and the man was then kneeling, cradling his arm. At the best it was only sprained, but more than likely it was now broken.

He gazed up at her in shock, tears of pain filling his eyes. What he had first thought was an angel now looked more like a demon; her lips were drawn back in a snarl, her gleaming teeth snapping close to his face.

How did you find TA? I had actually seen the site on a google search for something, anything…TWILIGHT late last year. Then a couple of months ago Val, (Eirelav), invited me to share my story at TA. I was thrilled to be able to do so.

How did you start writing fan fiction? I found fan fiction at the end of last year and read so many good ones, and some really horrific ones too. I came up with the idea of GUARDING EDWARD during a bout of insomnia, and started writing it down. I posted it elsewhere and just had to keep it going. Those characters just kept chatting with me, waking me up at night, making comments while I fed our horses. They were just so CHATTY! And they made me write about them, which made my kids laugh. “So, Mom…have your characters talked to you today?”
