torture her, she leaps on his feet and gives him the groveling 
routine.  If she escapes torture, she wins.  In fact, this little

I like this idea about Bella.  She is very resourceful and a very 
evil person. Perhaps more evil than LV himself.  She and she alone 
can manipulate old Voldy.  Yes, I do like this one!!!  Ohooo, I 
might be getting a bit too much pleasure out of my journey to the 
dark side!  ;-)
