If Sage reminds the whole group that she is hungry one more time, i'm going to fly over their and kick her butt. For the past three month's, Sage, Tanner, Anthrax, Shula and myself (Bella) have been on the run from the high council; royal families that want to kill us. You see, we'er fares and they want to kill us because we will not stop using our powers that we were born with. We can control the elements, but the main reason they want us is because of me; i can control all of the four elements. Sage is fire; Tanner is water; Anthrax is air and Shula is earth. We've all been best friends forever, and now we were out in the world together-and none of us knows how it works.

"Where do we go from here?" Anthrax asked. Anthrax, Shula and i were the main leaders of our little cult. Tanner and Sage were a year younger, and there for kicked to the curb.

"I suggest here," i said, pointing out a place on the little map we had. "It's small, out of the way and we can settle down or awhile before we need to move again."

We all nodded and set off, flying high above the cloud clover until we decided to land in a small paddock a mile from Forks and walked along the road. A car beeped and pulled over. A short man, wearing a weird hat stepped out and gave us a once over. The wind told me not to be afraid of this man. His car had red and blue lights on top of it; who is he?

"What are you girls doing out here at six o'clock at night? You must be freezing!" He seemed concerned.

With the heat coming off of Sage and i (because of our fire abilities) we were fine, but we still had to keep up with the whole human thing.

"Yes," i answered clearly. When it came to one on one conversations, i was always the one to take control.

"Why don't you jump in and i could give you a lift to Forks?" He paused. "Two of you's will have to squish in on one seat, though."

"Thank you."

It wasn't until we were on our way to Forks-our second time of driving i a car-that he started asking questions.

"So, how old are all of you?"

Well, we were about 100. "Anthrax, Shula and i are 17, Sage and Tanner are 16."

"Ahhh, are all of you planning on going to the high school in Forks?" He asked in amusement.

School? Looking behind me, Anthrax nodded and i agreed. I would like to find out what this school was. "Yes, we will be attending."

"Who do you live with?"

"Um..."

He seemed to judge my response and he frowned. "Do you kids have a family?"

"No," i admitted after awhile. Something told me that this human was meant to look after people, and for that i was grateful.

He turned the car around and before i knew it, he was driving up a long dirt road, stopping in front of a beautiful building. Three stories and lightly painted wall's was all i could see, but from the earth, i could tell that this house belonged here. He stepped out of the car and we followed.

"What are we doing here?" My voice rose higher as the wind whispered thing's about the people living here being dangerous.

"One moment, please," he said, walking up the front steps. I knew i need to follow him, to find out what the hell he was planning on doing with us. But i didn't want my family to get in trouble.

"Wait here," i told them, walking forward. "I'll find out what's going on. Anthrax and Shula, look out for Sage and Tanner."

They all nodded and backed up a few steps. Righto then, it was up to me now.

"Um, excuse me," i called as i reached the top of the stairs. The nice man was talking to a really handsome man, but at the moment, i really couldn't care less. I stood there, listening to there conversation with interest.

"Carlisle, i need a favor," the nice man asked.

"Name it, Charlie." His voice was so calm, reassuring-so why was the wind telling me to run?

"I found these five kids, they have no family-i think there homeless. Would you be able to look after them until i can figure some things out?"

Carlisle smiled. "Sure."

"Grate. I'll swing by tomorrow afternoon, OK."

"No problem," he responded with a light laugh.

Charlie turned to leave, with me right behind him. "What are you doing?"

"I have to go sort some thing's out, but i'll be back tomorrow."

Hell no! "You can't leave us with them!" My voice rang through the forest.

"You'll be fine, i promise." His tone was so sincere, that all i did was step back from the car and watch him drive off. Us Fares weren't violent creatures, we'll trust anyone who we believe is telling the truth; our powers can tell us who to trust. But the wind was telling me to run from these people. Looking back at my family, i knew they needed to eat, sleep and bath. So i put on a smile and pretended like it was all alright. They could be teenagers for one night. I gestured for them to stay there for a second, while i lightly made my way up the steps to where Carlisle was staring at us in amazement.

"Excuse me?" As a fare, we are always polite; no matter what the situation.

"Yes?"

I hesitated, then let it all rush out. "Are you a nice person? Because we've met some not so nice people, and i don't want my family going through that again. Something is also telling me not to trust you, but for some reason, i know i can."

He looked at me like i was a science experiment. "Why do you think im bad?"

As if i would tell you. "No reason."

"Alright, then you's should come inside and get cleaned up," he suggested, moving aside and letting my family past. I stayed near Carlisle, keeping the elements close by-just in case.


"He seems nice,"Sage said once we were all tucked in a big king size bed together. Tanner nodded in agreement.

I sighed. "We're only here until tomorrow, so don't get attached. Plus something doesn't feel right about these people."

"We should just get some sleep," Shula suggested.

As soon as everyone was fast asleep-and not sleeping after two days, i didn't have to wait long-i slowly stood up and made my way to the door. It was quiet and eerie outside the room. The hall way was long, big and dark. Surely no one would be up at this hour, i though as i summoned fire to me. A little ball of flames burned lightly in my hand and i let my feet drag me to the back door. The night air was so fresh, i found myself walking and sitting under a large oak, letting my eyes close. God i hope we were going to be fine.


"Hello?"

"Mmm?"

Some one was talking to me, but i was to out of it to give much notice.

"Hello?" The voice was velvet soft and caring, with a bit of amusement.

Slowly, i rolled over...and came crashing down to the ground. "Shit!" Grate, just grate. I came out here last night to keep watch and i fell asleep.

"Did you sleep in a tree all night?"

Uhgg. Again? Sometimes if im outside, i find my way to a tree and tend to sleep in it-earth abilities. Each one on us-my family and i-have trouble with different things, i have trouble with all of them. I nodded as i stood up and scrapped all the dirt off of me. Looking up, i froze in place; the guy i was looking at was beautiful. Bronze colored hair, light butter-scotch eyes and pale skin.

He reached towards me, looking confused. "What's your name?"

Before i could utter a word, Carlisle was standing at the back door. "Her name is Bella. She will be living with us for the next few weeks."

Weeks! Oh no were not. We need to keep moving. My head was spinning-where is my family? What time is it? I called to the wind, asking it to send a message to Anthrax: Meet me in the back yard with the rest. A few seconds later, a message came back: Be down in five.

"What are you focusing on?" The boy asked.

I didn't realize i was looking at the second story window where my family was. "Nothing, i need to ask you something very important, Carlisle." My attention was fully on him now. I could feel the trackers were close, maybe a hour or so away.

He frowned. "What?"

"If someone comes looking for me, tell them you never met me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just do it," i demanded. My family showed up at the back door and i waved them forward until they were standing behind me. Carlisle looked like he was trying to figure something out, then he looked over at the bronze haired boy. "What?"

"Edward and i believe that you's are in some sort of trouble," he explained.

I slowly backed up, pushing my family along with me. I laughed without humor. "Yeah, something like that."

"Bella," Edward said anxiously. He reached out and took my arm, something Shula and Anthrax didn't like so much. Being the only female out of my whole family, they kind of looked out for me. Shula called on the earth, the big oak tree next to us waving violently in response. Anthrax called the air, the wind whipping all our hair around.

"What's going on?" a voice called from a distance. Turning around, i came face to face with five more beautiful humans. Two blonde haired-one male on female-a really tall, muscly guy and a small pixie sized girl. They walked over and stood behind Carlisle and Edward.

"Nothing, we were about to leave," i announced. When Edward didn't let go of my arm, i let fire run flames along my body. Everyone-except my family-gasped in shock, but he still didn't let go. What the hell?

"How are you doing that?" Before i could answer his question, he-and the rest of his family-turned towards a point in the forest. I could tell my family was calling to there elements, trying to figure out what was going on. But because of my strong connection with each element, i didn't even have to call to them to know that it was to late-the trackers have found us.

"Sage, Tanner! Get out of here!"

"But-," Sage began.

"Now!" I cut her off.

Both of them ran into the forest, flying into the air as soon as they were under cover. Anthrax flew up into the oak tree, wind whipping in a ball around him. Shula sat cross legged on the grass, palms on the ground. Me? I ran forward, all the elements wrapping around me.

"Bella! What are you doing?" Edward called out as i passed him over head. Flying in front of humans wasn't the best idea, but i had no other choice.

"Leave her," Carlisle told him. "I think this is a fight she and her family have to fight them selves."

At that moment i was thankful for Carlisle. My feet landed on a tree branch, two meters from the hard dirt. Something moved from in my peripheral, jumping from one tree to another. Flicking my arm out, a large tree branch snaked out and hit him in the face, sending him crashing to the ground. Two more made a move, but Anthrax suffocated them long enough to knock them out. I set fire to one more, while Shula tied one to the ground with the roots of a pine tree. I was just about to throw a ball of flame at another tracker when something sharp hit my back. My ears rang and my sight went bleary; i was hit with a arrow.

"Bella!" Anthrax screamed, fighting with the five trackers surrounding. Glancing behind me, Shula had about ten on him.

"Edward..." i whispered," please help them." Then i fell to the dirt with a thump.


I was aware of someone moving next to me, saying my name over and over. Anthrax, Shula, Sage and Tanner were trying to help heal me with the elements-i could feel it.

Groaning, i rolled over to show them that i was awake. A sharp pain shot through my back and i gasped. Tanner tried harder with water to help with the pain-it worked. Water was the best at healing.

"Bella, are you alright? Do you need something to drink?" Edward was viable beside me, holding my hand. It felt good to have him there. I was suddenly confused over what i was feeling; my heart sped up as i looked at him. Was it love? I've never felt love before.

Shula pushed past him, holding a strange looking ring. "Here," he said, handing me the tiny love heart shaped silver ring. A little red ruby lay in the middle, surrounded by little flowers. It was very detailed.

"Thanks." As soon as i put the ring on i instantly felt calmer. Earth healing could only work on feelings. As fire and air helped the sole, but because this is not a spiritual problem, they were kind of useless. "And yes-i would love something to drink," i said, answering Edwards question from before. "And i would like to speak to you alone, please." I looked meaningfully at my brothers, who acted like they hadn't heard a thing. I sighed. "Guys, do you mind?"

"But, Bella-."

"No butts, OK? You listen to me-get out. I need speak with Edward alone."

Upset, they all walked out. Anthrax told me through the wind that if i needed help, call to him. Edward went with them, coming back a few seconds later with a glass of water. After setting it down on the bed side table, he turned towards me with a weird look.

"You know you owe me a very big explanation?"

I laughed. "I know. But i don't know where to begin. Maybe we should go down stairs and my brothers and i could talk to your whole family?"

"That would be perfect," he said, lifting me out of the bed. From all the healing that was going on, i felt as fit as a horse.

Once we were down stairs-the Cullen's sitting on one side and my brothers and i on the other, i decided to start with the basics.

"So, by now i am guessing you know that we are not human," i stated.

Anthrax put a hand on my shoulder. "You can't tell them what we are!"

"They helped us, they deserve to know."

He stepped back and took his place next to Shula, who was making sure Sage and Tanner were standing as far from the Cullen's as possible.

"Bella's right," the pixie girl-Alice-agreed.

"You speak Italian?" Sage asked, peeking around from Shula's arm.

"We all do. Hay, is that your real hair color?" She almost screamed."Y-yes."

"I love it-."

"Alice," the caramel hair colored female said-Esme.

"Sorry. Please, continue."

I smiled. "We do not come from the human society. We come from a old clan of fares, deep within the earths core."

"Fares aren't real," a beautiful blonde laughed-Rosalie.

Before i could speak, Tanner cut me off. "Neither are vampires."

"Tanner! This is no time to be childish," Anthrax chastised. Surprised, i closed my eyes and let water wash through me, telling me what it knew. Vampires, it whispered. Anthrax, i called through the air, Tanners right! They are the legend of blood drinkers our ancestors told us about! It can't be, he whispered through the wind.

"How do you know that?" Carlisle was on his feet, walking towards us. Shula stepped forward, expecting danger. The Cullen's reacted to that and rose. Anthrax and Sage moved next to Shula, blocking me from everyone's sight. Tanner hovered in the air above us. I really didn't want a show down. I could feel Shula was about to call to the earth-all my other brothers doing the same with their elements. This is not how it was meant to be. Screw politeness, this was childish. Putting all my anger into my powers, i created a large wall of fire between everyone.

"Stop!" The fire blazed out of control. "We have bigger things to worry about then who knows what race who is."

"Bella's right," Edward nodded. "Why don't we all settle down and figure this all out?"

Once the room was quiet and everyone had calmed down, i let the wall of fire drop. "OK. So where were we?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.
