Chapter 1
Bella's POV
As the Volturi leaders stood there huddled together I could see Jane and Alec struggling to make us feel their power. But my shield held. The others were reading them selves for a more physical attack than they were use to.
Edward and I was just about to send Jacob running into the wood's with Renesmee on his back. When suddenly Alice's hand appeared on my shoulder. She whispered "Don't do it, not yet." That was all she said as she quickly returned to her place.
I looked at Edward to ask him what was going on. But he shook his head and just smiled that beautiful crocked smile of his. I don't know why, but this made me fell like we had hope.
Suddenly Edward darted away from me, I watched him as he came to a stop just a few feet from where the Volturi stood.
"Aro…you may want to wait, before you do something that you'll regret." he said this in a voice that sounded more confident than I thought it should. Again I felt hope surge though me.
The sound of Edwards voice must have surprised Aro because he swung around so fast I thought he might actually fall over. The look on his face was of complete surprise, he quickly glanced over his shoulder toward Jane and Alec, they looked helplessly at him.
"Well Edward, I see your wife has taped into her true ability for shielding. Now what was that about me regretting something?"
"Just wait for it." Edward replied
Suddenly the air around us began to change. I could feel the electric energy surging around us. "Edward…?" I called. He was back at my side before I could finish.
"Don't worry, just watch." he whispered while pointing to the spot between our family and our enemy's, the spot was right in front of Aro.
As I watched my fear began to rise again unsure of what I was seeing, I quickly reached up to Jacob and grabbed Renesmee, pulling her tight to me. I knew it was foolish Edward would never let anything happen to her but it still mad me feel better.
As I stood there holding my little girl, I watched the spot that Edward had pointed at, suddenly the electricity around us began to pull together and a big ball of lighting formed in front of us, than out of nowhere it exploded in a bright flash, I closed my eyes from the light and when I opened them the electric ball was going and in its place was a young woman dressed all in black, she had long brown wavy hair, and before I could say anything she quickly looked over at Edward and winked, I looked at Edward and his expression was something I had not thought I would see.
I was so shocked I pulled Renesmee in tighter to me and stepped closer to Jacob's side I wasn't sure why but his expression suddenly sent a wavy of unease through me. He wore a smile that made me think that this was going to get worse before it ever got better. But than his smile changed, he looked more…at peace.
What the hell was going on, who was this woman, why was she winking at my husband, and why was her being here putting him more at ease? At this point I didn't think that even his answer would be such a surprise but than I heard the woman speak, and what she said nearly knock the breath from me.
Edward's POV
I watched as Alice's vision field my head, we were just about to send our little angel away with Jacob when the air began to electrify and became a giant ball of light that exploded making it hard to see but when we were finally able to focus the ball of light was gone and in its place stood a young woman dressed in all black, she had long wavy brown hair and slowly turned and looked at me and with a sly wink she turned back to face Aro, as I looked at her though Alice's eyes we both thought "Sarina."
The vision ended and I knew at once that everything was going to be fine. I looked down at Bella and could tell she was about to ask me something but I could not let her knowing anything with out alerting Aro at the same time. So I shook my head and gave her my crocked smile to reassure her. And than swiftly moved toward the Volturi.
"Aro…you may want to wait, before you do something that you'll regret." I said.
He swung around and his thoughts hit me, he was surprised that I was still able to talk let alone the fact that I was standing mere feet from him. He didn't understand why Jane and Alec had not taken care us. He looked over his shoulder at them and realized that they were trying as hard as ever but with no luck, the helpless look they shot him made him realize what was going on.
"Well Edward, I see your wife has taped into her true ability for shielding. Now what was that about me regretting something?"
"Just wait for it." I replied.
Suddenly the air around us began to change. I could feel the electric energy surging around us.
"Edward…?" Bella called to me with fear in her voice. I quickly moved back to her side. "Don't worry, just watch." I whispered while pointing to the spot right in front of Aro.
Just than Alice's vision started coming true. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Bella take hold of Nessie and pulled her tight to herself.
When the light passed sure enough there standing in front of Aro was Sarina and as in the vision she turned and winked at me. Her thoughts filed my head, "Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"But how…?" I thought, knowing she would hear me. The smile on my face growing as I could only imagine what was about to take place.
"Later." she replied. And with that she turned to face off with Aro.
Chapter 2
Sarina's POV
"But how…?" Edward began. The smile on his face was growing as I could see him imaging what was about to take place.
"Later." I replied. And with that I turned to face off with Aro.
As I turned, I scanned the faces of the vampires in front of me there was a mixture of surprise and fear in each one, but the hatred that was coming from Jane nearly made me laugh. Finally I settled on Aro who's face looked to be frozen in complete shock. He did not move or even speak, I would have to be the one to start this.
"Hello…father." I said. I heard a small gasp come from behind me. I knew at once it was Bella.
"Sarina…it…can't…be. You're…dead!" said Aro still in shock.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not as dead as you all thought."
"But how…?"
"Well the short version is that I just simply wanted to be out of your control, and death was my only opinion till now."
My explanation to be away from him was such a hard hit that Aro finally snapped out of his shock and his anger began to take over.
"What do you mean until now, why is this a better time for you to revile yourself to me after all these years?"
"Well for starters you no longer have power over me, but I can push mine on to you."
Aro was quite while taking in my words, than slowly I saw realization hit him, he knew exactly what I meant.
"You have finally reached your full potential.?" This was more of a statement than a question, but he needed me to explain so the others would understand the decision he was already to a where of, that would have to be made in order for them all to survive this encounter.
"Yes, I have." I could feel the questions forming from everyone around me.
"Explain yourself at once," Caius said angrily coming up beside Aro. Marcus joined them to but was just as uninterested as ever. But for the first time in as long as I could remember he spoke, "I'm glade to see your alive my dear, life has been so…boring with out you around to case Aro problems."
"Thank you uncle, I have missed you as well." Marcus was always my favorite he was not as cruel in his decisions as Caius was or as methodical as Aro, he just did what he had to do to survive, that is until the day his wife was killed than he just shut down. I remembered once when I was a small child he was the only one who would actually play with me. But than Caius thoughts hit me, and brought me back to the moment.
"Ah yes Caius, you never were one to wait was you? Now to answer your question, I have the power to make…well lets just say if I give an order and no matter what it is, it must be followed and to try and go against it will mean immediate death…"
But before I could finish Caius interrupted me. "What is she talking about Aro?!" he demanded.
"If you would wait and listen, she will explain it here self." Aro replied looking at me with pure hatred in his eyes. I had only once seen him look at me like that, and only because I had denied him something he wanted. And that was the last look he had ever given me, for I left him that very night.
"I think that you would better understand if I showed you, rather than try and explain it. Aro would you mind if I used Felix for my little demonstration?"
"Not at all. Felix please come here." I watched as a very alert Felix approached Aro from the right. As he came closer to me I felt him become more nervous.
"Don't worry Felix I am not going to harm you."
"It's not me I'm worried about, Sarina. I'm worried about what you may make me do." Felix said with clear hostility in his voice. I could see that he was afraid that I would have him do something that was embarrassing. If he only knew that would have been something he would get over compared to what I had in mind
"Now, now, do you really think I would make you do something that you would be embarrassed about?"
"Get out of my head, witch." he growled.
"HA, HA, you call me a witch, and yet you share your bed with one." I laughed as I glanced over at Jane. I could tell that she was still trying to get through Bella's shield and was now trying to reach me as well. I gave her a small smile. "Just keep trying Jane, one of these days your head will explode." I laughed as she was suddenly thinking if that could be possible.
I turned my attention back to Felix who was now more made at me than anything. "Now Felix, are you ready to begin?" I asked ignoring his low growls.
"Just get it over with ."
"Ok." I took a deep breath and when I spoke it sounded even to me as if I was more than one person talking in unison.
"Felix…kill Aro!"
Bella's POV
Father? I gasped, what the hell was going on. I looked up at Edward to ask him if there was something wrong with my hearing only to find him still smiling, he looked at me, winked and pulled us closer to him. "I'll explain later." he whispered in my ear. I guess my expression had asked the question for me.
"Sarina…it…can't…be. You're…dead!" Aro said, there was a strange tone in his voice, could it be that Aro was in shock?
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not as dead as you all thought." Said the woman that I know knew was called Sarina.
"But how…?"
"Well the short version is that I just simply wanted to be out of your control, and death was my only opinion till now."
I could see the shock on Aro's face change to anger. And his voice changed with it as he asked "What do you mean until now, why is this a better time for you to revile yourself to me, after all these years?"
"Well for starters you no longer have power over me, but I can push mine on to you." Say what?
Aro was quite for a while but as if a light had just went off in his head his stance become more alert. "You have finally reached your full potential." It sounded like a statement with a hint of a question in it.
"Yes, I have."
"Explain yourself at once," Caius said angrily coming up beside Aro. Marcus joined them to but seemed just as uninterested as ever. But for the first time (for me) he spoke, "I'm glade to see your alive my dear, life has been so…boring with out you around to case Aro problems." I couldn't believe my ears his voice was so sweet and kind. As if he had true feelings toward her.
"Thank you uncle, I have missed you as well."
So there must have been a time when there was more to him, a time when he did care about the things going on around him and in that time he also cared for someone.
"Ah yes Caius, you never were one to wait was you? Now to answer your question, I have the power to make…well lets just say if I give an order and no matter what it is, it must be followed and to try and go against it will mean immediate death…"
"What is she talking about?!" I thought, realizing that Caius had just asked Aro the same thing. The fact that we were on the same page at this point sent a shiver of fear and sickness through me.
"If you would wait and listen, she will explain it her self." Aro replied looking at Sarina with pure hatred in his eyes.
"I think that you would better understand if I showed you, rather than try and explain it. Aro would you mind if I used Felix for my little demonstration?"
"Not at all. Felix please come here." an alert Felix approached Aro from the right.
"Don't worry Felix I am not going to harm you."
"It's not me I'm worried about, Sarina. I'm worried about what you may make me do."
"Now, now, do you really think I would make you do something that you would be embarrassed about?"
"Get out of my head, witch." he growled.
"HA, HA, you call me a witch, and yet you share your bed with one." she laughed and looked over at Jane she gave her a small smile. "Just keep trying Jane, one of these days your head will explode." and than she laughed even more, the sound was like music, I found myself wondering just what the sound would be if her and Edward would laugh together at the same pitch. Renesmee suddenly squirmed in my arms bringing me back to reality.
"Now Felix, are you ready to begin?" she asked ignoring his low growls.
"Just get it over with."
"Ok." What happened next was even more surprising than when Sarina arrived, she took a deep breath and when she spoke it sounded like more than one person talking in unison.
"Felix…kill Aro!"
Chapter 3
Carlisle's POV
So let me get this straight, Sarina's back and she has finally reached her full potential, good for her. But now she has Felix under her control and wants him to kill Aro. This is not going to go very well.
Esme POV
Oh! No! Sarina's back. I hope she doesn't cause trouble between Edward and Bella.
Emmett POV
Oh this is going to be good.
Rosalie POV
I hope she doesn't stay far long. There's already to many staying at the house now, what with the dog!
Jasper POV
I wonder if this is what Alice saw when she stopped Bella from sending Nessie away. I wish this would end already, everyone's feelings are starting to push me over the edge.
Alice POV
Huh, Well I didn't see that coming.
Jacob
I don't know who she is, but I hope she doesn't become the new big bad in our lives. We need some peace for a little while. And Nessie needs to feel safer than she dose now.
Sarina's POV
"Felix…kill Aro!"
I could fell the eyes of everyone around on me. The vampires behind me was in shock all but Emmett who was wishing I had picked him for this job. And the wolves were on the edge of howling with excitement. But it was the vampires in front of me that I had to worry about. Aro took a step back along with his brothers, Jane and Alec was trying to attack me with their powers even though they knew they were useless against me. The others had taken an attack positions, but Felix was ignoring them all, he was slowly stocking toward his pray, when he was just about to spring at Aro I spoke again in unison.
"Felix…STOP!" I commanded.
Felix immediately come to a stop just mere feet from Aro. He turned to look at me, the look on his face was priceless. Not only did he just try and kill his beloved master, but he did it because I told him to. His thoughts were running wild, he didn't know what to do first, beg Aro for forgiveness, or rip me apart.
"QUIT…EVERYONE!! Felix you may return to your place in line." Aro said, to my surprise there was not even a hint of surprise in his voice. He was in complete control.
Felix gave me a long growl, than return to the line. Aro never took his eyes from mine. "That was indeed…magnificent, how long have you been able to use this power of yours?"
"For a year, I've only use it when I have to."
"So your telling us that you can…use mind control over us? Caius asked, I saw that he was interested in using my power for his gain but at the same time he was afraid that I would turn it on him.
"No, actually it's not mind control…it's more like, hum…" I glanced over at Jacob and leaned my head to the side to get a better look at him, he was returning my stare, but with curiosity instead of anger or fear.
"I guess the wolves would call it the voice of the Alpha, which basically means that the leader of the pack has the ability to keep it under control. It sounds a lot like the voice I just used. Of course if the person that is under my order tries to go against it they dye, where the wolves are just hurt.
I turned back to Aro, when his and Caius's thoughts became vile toward the wolves. "They may call themselves werewolves, but their not, their actually shape shifters, they could have been anything, but the wolves was the first that joined with their people in the old days."
"I see…so what are you going to do now? Have one of my brothers kill me, or maybe your have Jane and Alec use their gifts on me…"
"Hum…not bad ideals actually." I interrupted his ranting before he really made me mad, I could see where he was leading this to. "But I have an order that will leave no blood shed on these here grounds, in fact everyone will leave in peace."
"And what exactly is that order?" Caius asked clearly aggravated with the whole situation.
"It's simple really, you leave and never come back."
"That is simple enough, but the child is still a problem that we have to deal with." Aro said
"Not when she's under my personal protection." I took another deep breath and let my own 'Alpha' voice speak, "From this moment on, everyone that was here to give their support to the Cullen family in protecting Renesmee Carlie Cullen is hereby under my protection. If anyone from the Volturi harms them they will answer to me. Am I understood?"
In unison the Volturi all shook their heads yes.
"I have one question if I may?" ask one of the witnesses.
"Who ever said that please step forward." I said as lightly as possible.
"I did mama." a female vampire said.
"Oh, Makenna, what is it you would like to ask?"
"You know my name…wait that's not the question I wanted to ask…"
"Makenna, calm down, of course I know your name." I said pointing a finger at my head and gave her a quick wink with a smile. "Now let everyone know what is on your mind."
"Well…what if…the Volturi send some one out side of the group to go after those who are under your protection? What will become of them?" she was clearly afraid to ask this question, she kept giving quick glances over to Aro and his brothers as if waiting for them to make her pay this.
"That is a very good question. And I am glade to have someone to bring it up. I will be considerate of whose who commit the crime but if needed all will pay." I said this while looking around the group, every one seemed to be at a complete lose for words. Their minds were a blur of what they would do next.
"Well if no one else has any more questions, I suggest that you be on your way."
Aro looked at if he could spit nail's, "Fine…have it your way, as for the child if she does anything that reviles us it will be up to you to handle it. We will not help you even if you beg, but if you ever decide that you want to come home, you can, I will be waiting for you." his tone was so irritating I just wanted to hit him. I heard the sound of laughter in my head. "Shut up Edward," I relied with a giggle
With a wave of his hand, the group drifted back to the edge of the forests a was gone in a blink.
"Well that could have been more fun." I hear Emmett say behind me, before I could react he wrapped his big arms around me and had me flying through the air.
Chapter 4
Bella's POV
"Emmett put me down!" Sarina said, but Emmett just kept spinning. With a huge grin spread over his face.
"Emmett you heard Sarina, put her down, now!" Carlisle added stepping toward them.
Emmett immediately sat her down, but kept his arms wrapped around her. As if he thought that if he let her go she would disappear.
I looked over at Edward who was staring at me and Nessie…wait did I just call my little one… Nessie, when did that happen?
"What?" I asked him.
"Just waiting for you to hit me with the all the burning questions you have, that's all?" he said shrugging.
"Oh, well I do have one…Who is she?" I asked
"Her name was at one time Sarina Volturi, but you should know she changed it about 60 year ago. She now goes by Sarina Cullen." his answer was surprise enough but than I saw the way he was looking at her and I didn't know what to think of it.
"Well, would you like to meet her?" he asked
"I would but I think Nessie would sleep better in her own bed." I was suddenly being nudged from behind, I shrugged off Jacobs nose and said, "Shut up Jacob, I know."
He was suddenly laughing that wolf laugh of his, I just rolled my eyes and looked at Edward. He was looking over at his family with Sarina.
"Tell you what, how about Jake and I take Nessie back to the big house. And we'll meet you all there when your done hear."
"That wont be necessary Bella, we'll all return with you. I have been waiting long enough to meet you and there is no since that the little one should not be as comfortable as possible." I looked up to Sarina walking toward us as she spoke, she had the friendless smile on her face. I was suddenly hit with a strange feeling, like I had seen that smile before and the longer I looked at her I could have swore I had seen her before…but I couldn't have…could I?"
"Oh, hi Sarina. I want to thank you for what you just did. I don't know how we'll ever repay you."
She laughed and said "Bella what I just did was reward enough, standing up to him is something I have been wanting to do for a very long time," she shrugged, "You gave me the perfect reason to finally do it."
"Oh." was all I could think of. Having her this close was making it hard to think, I still had that feeling of seeing her before, and was staring to get on my nerves. I just couldn't place it.
"Sarina…have we meet before?" I asked
"Why? Do you think we have? I notices at once that she was dodging my question with questions and this made me feel irritated.
The sound of muffled whines behind me made me turn to see that Jacob was gone.
"Where'd Jake go?"
"He went to change, he didn't like the fact that Sarina was talking to him and you couldn't hear her." Edward answered with a roll of his eyes.
"What do you mean by talking to him and I couldn't hear her?"
"It's one of my abilities, like Edward I can hear thoughts but I can also put my thoughts into others heads, you can basically say we can have are own private conversation where no one can over hear us." Sarina explained, giving Edward a nudged with her should on the last part.
"Ok…" Nessie started crying and placed her hand on my neck showing me she wanted to be in her own bed at home. "Nessie wants to go home I think we should go."
"Not with out me?" Jake whined coming from the trees. He can be such I child I though to myself. "Hey by the way Sarina, Sam said to thank you for including the pack under your… protection…but he would like to talk to you about, see what all that means, I guess."
"Sure, name the time and place and I'll be more than happy to talk to Sam. I'll answer what ever questions he has." Sarina seemed to be more at ease than I thought she would be talking to Jake.
"Sounds good.' he said moving over to me and looked at Nessie who was still a little fuss in my arms, but the minute Jake put his big finger in her little hand she settled down. Would I ever get use to that?
"Let's get her home and it to bed." Edward said
"Ok, but I want to talk to Sarina some more, Jake would you mind keeping and eye on Nessie?"
"Sure…but I want to know what's going on to and I have some questions of my own to ask. Can't we just go to the big house."
"Tell you what Jacob, how about you go with Bella and Edward and get Nessie put to bed and some sleep your self, and I'll meet you at the big house for breakfast? Sound good." Sarina offered.
"Well I guess getting some sleep would be a good I deal, you never know around here what's going to happen next."
"Than it's settled. We will see the four of you first thing in the morning." Carlisle said coming up behind Sarina.
Everyone kissed Nessie good night and disappeared into the woods. As Edward and I ran home I realized Jake wasn't with us. I guessed he stayed back to phase and check in with Seth and Leah.
Just as we got to the cottage, I noticed an unfamiliar sent in the air. I looked over at Edward and he to noticed it.
Just than the front door to our home opened and a blinding white light blinded me.
Jacob's POV
I was in total shock, I couldn't believe that this new comer 'Sarina' had not only ordered the big one 'Felix' to kill Aro 'how was apparently her father', but than just as he was about to, she stopped he…than she was putting us all under her protection, and sending the Volturi away. The fact that they just up and left… WOW!!! I didn't know what to think.
"What?" I heard Bella ask, when I looked over at her she was looking at Edward who was looking at her with a questionable look on his face.
"Just waiting for you to hit me with the all the burning questions you have, that's all?" he said shrugging.
"Oh, well I do have one…Who is she?" she asked. Good one I, would like to no that one myself. Of course Edward just ignored me and answered Bella.
"Her name was at one time Sarina Volturi, but you should know she changed it about 60 year ago. She now goes by Sarina Cullen." WOW…I could tell Bella was just as surprised as I was. Why did she change it to that, out of all the names in the world she choose the same as his, interesting I thought. He still ignored me.
"Well, would you like to meet her?" he asked
"I would but I think Nessie would sleep better in her own bed." Bella answered. I had caught her slip on the name and used my nose to nudged her from behind, she shrugged me off saying, "Shut up Jacob, I know."
I couldn't control the laughter that was coming from me, the sudden flashback of the fit she had thrown over my little nickname, and her declaring that she would never use it. Was just to funny, now that she had and she sounded perfectly at ease with it.
The sound of Bella using my name made me come out off the flash back "Jake and I take Nessie back to the big house. And we'll meet you all there when your done hear."
"That wont be necessary Bella, we'll all return with you. I have been waiting long enough to meet you and there is no since that the little one should not be as comfortable as possible." I looked up to Sarina walking toward us as she spoke, she had the friendless smile on her face. It was weird but I didn't feel like I was being approached by a vampire that I didn't know but by a long forgot friend.
"Oh, hi Sarina. I want to thank you for what you just did. I don't know how we'll ever repay you."
Sarina just laughed and said "Bella what I just did was reward enough, standing up to him is something I have been wanting to do for a very long time," she shrugged, "You gave me the perfect reason to finally do it."
"Oh." Bella replied seeming to be at a lost for words. Than she asked what I thought was a strange question. "Sarina…have we meet before?"
"Why? Do you think we have? Not good, I knew Bella well enough that she didn't like having a question answered with a question, let alone two, and she was sure to be feeling irr…"
"Don't worry about Bella, Jacob she'll be fine. We just need to work something's out that's all." Sarina was suddenly talking to me, but I was looking right at her and her moth never moved. "How…? I thought.
"Simply put I can make it to where a conversation is just between us."
"Oh…, well still we shouldn't be talking behind Bella's back let lone in our heads." just than I heard Sam whine behind me, he was listening to the conversation that had just went through my mind. "Great! I'm going to change so we can all talk."
"Ok." I head Sarina say as I was already headed toward the woods, I could see Sam just inside the tree line.
"Jacob would you please pass along my thanks to the new one for her...protection, and ask her if I could speak to her about what that actually means?"
"Sure Sam, don't worry I'm on it." Sam nodded his head, turned and ran deeper into the woods. I had just phased back, when I heard Bella ask,
"Where'd Jake go?"
"He went to change, he didn't like the fact that Sarina was talking to him and you couldn't hear her." Edward answered.
"What do you mean by talking to him and I couldn't hear her?" Bella asked.
"It's one of my abilities, like Edward I can hear thoughts but I can also put my thoughts into others heads, you can basically say we can have are own private conversation where no one can over hear us." Sarina explained.
"Ok…" Bella was suddenly interrupted when Nessie started to cry. Just the thought of her even this short of distance away from me and crying for any reason was enough to make me pull my shorts on fast and head back to her.
"Nessie wants to go home, I think we should go."
"Not with out me?" I said as I left the trees. "Hey, by the way Sarina, Sam said to thank you for including the pack under your… protection…but he would like to talk to you about, see what all that means, I guess."
"Sure, name the time and place and I'll be more than happy to talk to Sam. I'll answer what ever questions he has."
"Sounds good.' I said moving over to Bella and looked at Nessie who was still a little fuss in her arms, but the minute I put his big finger in her little hand she settled down.
"Let's get her home and it to bed." Edward said
"Ok, but I want to talk to Sarina some more, Jake would you mind keeping and eye on Nessie?" Bella asked.
"Sure…but I want to know what's going on to and I have some questions of my own to ask. Can't we just go to the big house."
"Tell you what Jacob, how about you go with Bella and Edward and get Nessie put to bed and some sleep your self, and I'll meet you at the big house for breakfast? Sound good." Sarina offered.
"Well I guess getting some sleep would be a good I deal, you never know around here what's going to happen next."
"Than it's settled. We will see the four of you first thing in the morning." Carlisle said coming up behind Sarina.
Everyone kissed Nessie good night and disappeared into the woods. After Edward and Bella was gone, I took off my shorts, tied them to my leg and phased. It was quite, to quite, where was Seth and Leah?
"Here I am," Seth answered right away he was just coming up the north side of the field.
"Yeah, I'm here to," Leah said coming from the south.
"We decided to run a perimeter…make sure no other leech stayed back, you know watching your back and all?" Leah answered before I could say anything else.
"Go on to Nessie, it's all clear." Seth assured me.
"Yeah, Jacob, you need to get some sleep, you look like shit."
"Thanks so much Leah…you guys sure you don't need me?
"Nope we got it covered." Seth said, popping the p, the little pain was really enjoying his self.
Just as I was about to head out, there was a blinding white light coming from the direction of the cottage. We all thought at once "NESSIE?"
Chapter 5
Sarina's POV
I was more than happy to have a little time to talk to Carlisle. I had some many questions for him that I wasn't sure were to begin.
But before we even got to the big house I caught a familiar sent on the wind. I new at once that this night was long from over. I stopped and turned toward the smell heading off in the opposite direction of the house.
"Sarina what's wrong?" Emmett asked.
"What's in that direction?"
"Bella and Edward's cottage…why?"
"What's wrong?" I heard Rose and glanced over to where she and Alice was standing Jasper suddenly appeared out of no where. "What do you see? He asked.
But she just stood there, with a blank look on her face, she was lost in a vision, I looked into the vision with her and saw just enough, before anyone could say another word, a bright white light shoot in the air, I took off running in it's direction the same direction that the vision and the scent led, straight to Edward and Bella's cottage.
"No, NONONONO." was all I could think as I ran. I know the others would follow, but I just had to get there before it was to late.
I could hear Jacob's thoughts coming from the woods "What was I thinking, I should have never left her, I should be there with her now. If anything happens…"
"Don't Jake, we'll get there." Leah was saying.
"Besides Edward can take care of things and I'm sure Alice has saw something so the other's will be on their way, Nessie will be fine." said Seth.
It was strange how I had never talked to them but still new who was talking. But I couldn't worry about that, I had to get to the cottage, I had to get to him.
Why did he leave the big house I told him to stay there that he would be safe. What was he thinking, no… what was I thinking. Leaving him alone in a strange place. He's still just a baby, I should have know that he would wonder off, but to go to the cottage, why?
The closer I got the brighter the light was, I closed my mind and reached it out to hind the thoughts of the light, than just as I came out of the tree line, I closed my eyes and when I opened them there was a black film over them blocking out the brightness. I could see Bella off to the right side of the house clenching Nessie tightly to her, Edward was trying to get to the source of the light before him.
I had no time to waste, "MASON! STOP!" I screamed and the light vanished. He looked over at me and than back at Edward, I could see he was confused and scared and just didn't know what to do. I glanced over at Edward who was just as confused as the boy in front of him, behind him stood Bella in total shock, she didn't move until Jake, Leah and Seth come rushing from the woods to protectively surround her.
"WAIT!!" I screamed. I quickly bent down and opened my arms wide, Mason ran to me and jumped into them, I wrapped my arms around him pulling him close. As I looked up I could see Bella staring at me and that we were holding the children we cared for in the same protective way.
As I looked at Bella, a small movement caught my eyes, I liked down into her arms and Nessie was staring back at me she slowly lifted her hand and placed it on Bella's check.
"Don't worry sweetie, everything's going to be ok." I heard Bella whispered.
"I know it will mommy." Nessie said, her voice was more lovely and sweet than I could have imagined. Than she once again reached up and toughed her hand to Bella's check. As if not able to take what she was seeing, Bella quickly pushed Nessies hand away. The wolves started growling more and Edward was stepping closer to us, when Bella yelled "ENOUGH!" and started to walk toward us. Actually she didn't seem like she was walking as much as being pulled in our direction.
"Bella…what our you doing?" Edward asked more confusion filed his face.
"Don't worry." was all she seemed able to say.
The closer she got to me the louder the growling of the wolves became. Just as she stepped in front of me, there was a loud whoosh that come up from behind me, I quickly looked around us to find the rest of the family standing there.
"It's alright Edward, stop panicking." Alice said in her little chirpy voice. As she skipped to his side and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, bro, Alice saw that everything will be fine. And for a first, Bella is actually doing something right." Emmett added. Bella gave him a quickly glanced and saw Rose smacking him in the back of the head. She smiled at Rose and she just rolled her eyes and shrugged, as if to say 'leave it to him.'
She than tuned and looked at me than down to Nessie and Mason, they were both leaning toward each other. They reached out a hand and when they touched it was as if someone had painted rainbow swirls over my eyes.
Bella's POV
The light coming from the cottage was so bright I thought that I would never see again. I pulled Nessie closer and was just about to try and run back the way we came, when I heard the loud howls that was headed in our direction. Than suddenly there was another voice off in the direction of the big house.
"MASON! STOP!" it was Sarina's voice and just as she said the light vanished and when I was finally able to focus there standing in front of us was a young boy, he couldn't have been any older than 5 or 6. But it wasn't his age or the fact that he was the one to apparently make the light, what surprised me the most was that he had wild bronze hair and his eyes were the color of the green emeralds. If I hadn't known better I would have sworn that he was Edwards son.
I looked over at Edward and he was just as surprised as I was to see this child. I was about to ask what was going on when Jake, Leah, and Seth came bursting through the trees growling and took up protective positions around me and Nessie.
"WAIT!!" Sarina screamed. And the boy ran and jumped into her waiting open arms. As I looked at them I realized I could have been looking through a mirror, she was holding him in the exact same protective way that I was holding Nessie.
Just than the scene in front of me changed, I was seeing everything over but from a different point of view, and I could feel the curiosity that was coming from it. Slowly everything returned to normal, I looked down to find Nessie staring at me, I hadn't even noticed that she had woke up, she looked at me with more curiosity than she ever had.
"Don't worry sweetie, everything's going to be ok." I whispered.
Than taking me by surprise she said, "I know it will mommy." than she placed her hand on my check again and I was looking at the little boy in Sarina's arms, the feeling to go over and touch him was so strong that I had to force my self to make her let me go. I could hear the growls of the wolves around me and saw Edward start to move forward, I had to stop this, before it got worse.
"ENOUGH!" I yelled and started walking forward. Every one turned to look at me, but I just kept moving forward, like I was being pulled toward the boy.
"Bella…what our you doing?" Edward asked. I didn't know why but he sounded confused, shouldn't he already know what Nessie wanted and that there was nothing to fear.
"Don't worry." was all I could say. I could hear the growling behind me grow louder, but I ignored it. Just as I stepped in front of Sarina, there was a loud whoosh come up from behind her, I quickly looked around us to find the rest of my family standing there.
"It's alright Edward, stop panicking." Alice said in her little chirpy voice.
"Yeah, bro, Alice saw that everything will be fine. And for a first, Bella is actually doing something right." Emmett added. I quickly glanced over at him and saw Rose smacking him in the back of the head. I smiled at her and she just rolled her eyes and shrugged, as if to say 'leave it to him.'
I returned to look at Sarina and than down to Nessie and the boy, they were both leaning toward each other. They reached out a hand and when they touched it was as if someone had painted rainbow swirls over my eyes.
Chapter 6
Edward's POV
For the first time in a really long time I was lost. I had no ideal what was going on.
We had just arrived at the cottage when I caught the scent of a stranger, I noticed that Bella had caught it to. I was just about to send her back toward Jacob when the door to the cottage opened and the brightest light I had ever seen hit me, nearly blinding me. I covered my eyes and used my hearing to make sure no one was attacking. But all I heard was the thoughts of some one scared wanting their mommy. I knew it wasn't Nessie she was with Bella, and the thoughts was coming from in front of me.
Than out of nowhere everything was quite, at first I thought that Bella was shielding me, I looked over toward hear and could just make her out, she was holding Nessie close while looking away from the light. No she wasn't the one to be shielding me. Than I realized that Sarina must be close she was the only one that I know who would be able to block me other than Bella.
Just than I heard Sarina scream "MASON! STOP!" and the light disappeared. When I was able to focus I looked at the spot the light had been just mere second ago and in its place there was an adorable little boy and I could have sworn I was looking at one of my baby pictures from when I was around 5. He had the same hair and the same green eyes that I had once.
A loud crashing sound from behind me, coming from the woods brought me back to reality. I looked behind me to see that Jacob, Leah and Seth had finally arrived and that they were protectively surrounding Bella an Nessie.
"WAIT!!" Sarina screamed. I turned just in time to see the boy run and jump into her waiting open arms.
"Don't worry sweetie, everything's going to be ok." I heard Bella whispered. I glanced at her and saw Nessie touching her check showing her something. It was now that I know for sure that Bella wasn't shielding me if she was I would have been able to see what Nessie was showing her. "I know it will mommy." Nessie was said, than touched Bella's check again. What ever she saw made her pull Nessies hand away.
The growls of the wolves around us began to grow louder and I found myself inching forward I wasn't really sure what I was going to do, but I would do what ever it took to make sure my family was safe.
The sound of Bella's voice made me stop and turn, "ENOUGH!" she yelled and started walking forward.
"Bella…what our you doing?" I asked. Confusion thick in my voice.
"Don't worry." was all she said. The growling behind us grow louder, but she just ignored it. Just as she stepped in front of Sarina, there was a loud whoosh and my family was suddenly surrounding us.
"It's alright Edward, stop panicking." Alice said in her little chirpy voice. How could she still be so irritating at a time like this?
"Yeah, bro, Alice saw that everything will be fine. And for a first, Bella is actually doing something right." Emmett added with a chuckle. I saw Bella give him a quick glance just as Rose smacked him in the back of the head. They smiled at each other and Rose shrugged.
As I watched Bella get closer to Sarina. I could see Nessie and the boy, leaning toward each other. They reached out a hand and when they touched it was as if someone had painted rainbow swirls over my eyes.
Emmett's POV
What the heck was going on. Sarina runs off toward the cottage where a sudden blinding light was coming from, than Alice was screaming for us to get there and keep Edward and Jacob from hurting someone named Mason. And that for the first time Bella was doing the right thing. I had no ideal what was going on
But we all went running as fast as we could, just as we came out of the woods behind Sarina I saw Bella and Nessie walking up to her.
I stopped just to Edwards left prepared to either stop him or Jacob from doing anything they shouldn't.
"It's alright Edward, stop panicking." Alice said.
"Yeah, bro, Alice saw that everything will be fine. And for a first, Bella is actually doing something right." I added with a chuckle. Looking over at Bella she gave me a quick glance just as Rose smacked me on the back of the head. They smiled at each other and Rose shrugged. I hadn't even noticed she was standing behind, I gave her a confused look and she mouthed for me to be quite.
I turned back just in time to see Nessie lean forward and touch hands with the little boy Sarina was holding. Just as they touched I started seeing rainbow swirls.
Chapter 7
Bella POV
The night was suddenly filled with loud howls from the wolves and the complaints of being blind from my family.
"What the…I can't see? Emmett stated
"I can't either" Edward said.
"Don't worry, just enjoy it." came Alice's voice.
"Sarina what's going on?" I asked
"It's ok. It will be over soon." she replied. And before I knew it the rainbow was gone and I could see Sarina and the little boy standing in front of me again. I looked down to Nessie who was still staring at him but they were no longer touching.
"What was that?" I asked
"That was their joined power." Sarina said with a small laugh.
"What do you mean…?" I started to ask but was interrupted by the boy in her arms.
"It was my power, and Nessies power combined…did you not like what you saw?" he asked in a worried voice.
"AH…yes I liked it…it was very pretty, but I'm still confused."
"Yeah me to." Emmett said. Followed by a round of howls from the wolves I could only guess that they to were just as confused as I was.
"Sarina?" Edward asked. "I already know who he is, and unless your hiding more, would you please release your block on me."
"What block?" I asked a little more than surprise filled my voice.
"It's like your shield, but I can block a certain individual from using there powers, actually I can block more than one at a time if I had to. That's why Jane and Alec couldn't use their abilities on me." Sarina answered.
"So…than you have more than one power? I didn't know that was possible?
"It's not… Sarina only has one ability. And that ability allows her to copy abilities from anyone she comes in contact with that has there own powers. For instant when she first meet Edward she was able to copy his powers and now she can have her own private conversation with any one she wishes to." Carlisle answered moving toward us.
"Ok…so what's going on with the kid?"
"Emmett! That's not polite." Esme said stepping up to us with Carlisle.
"It's ok Esme, Emmett just said what was on every ones mind. And I'm sorry Edward, I was just trying to protect him."
"Thank you and I understand all to well, about wanting to protect your little one." Edward was suddenly at my side and patted Nessie on the head.
"Well, I am soooo glade that you are all so understanding, because I still have know I deal what the hell is going on." I jumped at the sound of Jakes voice coming from behind us. I turned to see him coming from behind the cottage, Seth and Leah was still in wolf form but was hanging back as if they were reading themselves to attack if they needed to.
"Well I would be happy to explain but…" Sarina was saying when she suddenly went to fall forward, Edward and Alice was at her side in an instant.
"Let me have Mason, I'll take care of him." Alice said.
"No, I want Edward." Mason answered and reached for Edward to take him. He looked at Sarina and she nodded her head, and all at once Mason was wrapped around his neck.
"This will have to wait till tomorrow. Everyone needs to get their rest." said Carlisle
"Emmett, will you please help Sarina back to house?" Esme asked.
"Of course." he answered stepping up to her. "And don't worry, I won't drop you like the last time." he started laughing and she joined him.
"Yeah that would be nice, I was still getting mud out of my hair a week after I left. " she laughed. And than she was up in his arms and they were gone.
"I better go make sure he doesn't drop her just for the fun of it." Rose said with a roll of her eyes. And than she too was gone.
"Mason I'll take you with me." Alice offered.
"No…I want to stay here with Edward, Bella and Nessie." Mason whined.
Edward looked at me and smiled. And I glanced at the boy in his arms. He looked so much like Edward that I didn't think I would ever have the heart to deny him anything.
"Do you think Sarina would be ok with him staying here."
"She would want what ever makes Mason happy." he said giving me that crocked smile I loved.
"Ok. He can stay."
"Yeah!" Mason and Nessie both squealed.
There was a low growl behind us and I turned to see Leah looking at Jake. "Go and get some sleep, but stay as a wolf just in case. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things." he said the last part looking at Mason.
"Jake you needed to get so sleep your self. Why don't you…" I began.
"No…Jake stay's with me." Nessie answered and looked as if she would cry if I said no.
I looked over at Edward and he just shock his head. "Alright come on it's time for the three of you to get to bed." I said in a defeated tone.
Nessie just had to have Mason sleep with her. And Jake sleep on the blow up at the foot of her bed. We no more than got both of the little ones in bed, that we heard Jake snoring. Nessie giggled and looked at Mason who just rolled his eyes. I couldn't help but giggle a little myself, they were just to cutie.
After Edward and I kissed them both good night, Mason looked at me and said, "I like you." in a small whisper. And than turned over and went to sleep. I didn't no what to do.
Edward and I went out to the living room and laid down on the floor in front of the fireplace. He pulled me close and kissed the top of my head. "What are you thinking?" he asked.
"What was wrong Sarina?"
"She over did it today. The more power she uses the more wore out she gets. And that 'Alpha' voice, drew more power than she's used to.."
"Oh…will she be aright?"
"She'll be fine, as soon as she gets some sleep."
"Wait…what? Vampires don't sleep."
"They do if they have human abilities in them."
"Wha…Human…what?"
"Bella, calm down, Sarina is much better at explaining all of this. Just wait till tomorrow and all your questions will be answered." before I could abject his lips were on mine and my head began to spin. As I moved my hands through his hair he quickly picked me up and the next thing I knew he laid me on our bed and every thing that was on my mind just disappeared. All that was left was me and him.
Chapter 8
Sarina's POV
It was as if I was looking at a living painting. All the colors of the rainbow bending and blinding together to make the most beautiful picture I had ever seen.
The night was suddenly filled with loud howls from the wolves and the complaints of being blind by the Cullen's.
"What the…I can't see? Emmett stated
"I can't either" Edward said.
"Don't worry, just enjoy it." came Alice's voice.
"Sarina what's going on?" Bella asked
"It's ok. It will be over soon." I replied. And just like that the rainbow picture was gone, and I could see Bella and Nessie standing in front of me.
I looked down to see Nessie and Mason staring at each, but they were no longer touching. Their combined power was something to be hold I could only image what it would be as they grew. I knew I had copied this power I could feel it. What I didn't know was how it would work for me if I used it. "What was that?" Bella asked bringing me out of my thoughts.
"That was the results of there powers' joining." I said with a small laugh.
"What do you mean…?" she started to ask but was interrupted.
"It was my power, and Nessies power combined…did you not like what you saw?" Mason asked worry clear in his tone.
"AH…yes I liked it…it was very pretty, but I'm still confused."
"Yeah me to." Emmett said. Followed by a round of howls from the wolves. They to were just as confused as the rest.
"Sarina?" Edward suddenly asked. "I already know who he is, and unless your hiding more, would you please release your block on me." I had completely forgotten that I was blocking him and felt bad for even trying in the first place. Of course Mason would have been calling for me before I got there.
"What block?" Bella asked, surprise filling her voice.
"It's like your shield, but I can block a certain individual from using there powers, actually I can block more than one at a time if I had to. That's why Jane and Alec couldn't use their abilities on me." I answered.
"So…than you have more than one power? I didn't know that was possible?
"It's not… Sarina only has one ability. And that ability allows her to copy abilities from anyone she comes in contact with that has there own powers. For instant when she first meet Edward she was able to copy his powers and now she can have her own private conversation with any one she wishes to." Carlisle answered moving toward us.
"Ok…so what's going on with the kid?"
"Emmett! That's not polite." Esme said stepping up to us with Carlisle.
"It's ok Esme, Emmett just said what was on every ones mind. And I'm sorry Edward, I was just trying to protect him." I said while releasing my block on him.
"Thank you and I understand all to well, about wanting to protect your little one." Edward was suddenly at Bella's side and patted Nessie on the head.
"Well, I am soooo glade that you are all so understanding, because I still have know I deal what the hell is going on." I looked over Bella's shoulder to see Jacob coming from behind the cottage, Seth and Leah was still in wolf form but was hanging back reading themselves to attack if they needed to.
"Well I would be happy to explain but…" I started, but I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea followed by a headache from hell. I realized that I had over done it today with the whole 'Alpha' voice. Followed so soon by copying the kids power. It was finally catching up to me, and literally biting me in the butt.
Before I could stop my self I begin to fall forward. But four hard hands caught me before I could fall to far or drop Mason. I looked up to see both Alice and Edward holding on to me.
"Let me have Mason, I'll take care of him." Alice said. But I could see where Mason was really wanting to go.
"No, I want Edward." Mason answered and reached for Edward to take him.
"May I?" Edward thought.
"What ever makes him happy, I know he's safe with you and Bella." I thought back nodding my head. And than all at once Mason was wrapped around his neck.
"This will have to wait till tomorrow. Everyone needs to get their rest." said Carlisle
"Emmett, will you please help Sarina back to house?" Esme asked.
"Of course." he answered stepping up beside me. "And don't worry, I won't drop you like the last time." he started laughing and I couldn't help but to joined him.
"Yeah that would be nice, I was still getting mud out of my hair a week after I left." I laughed, remembering the last time I had over did it, Emmett was caring me back to their house and he supposedly slipped in the mud and dropped me, I hit so hard that I sank to my nose in the mud and it took them all to pull me out. Thank god vampires don't have to breath was all could think. And than I was up in his arms and we were gone.
"I better go make sure he doesn't drop her just for the fun of it." I could hear Rose say, and suddenly she was at Emmett's side running with us.
I know that the rest of the family would join us soon. And that Alice would be upset that Mason was staying at the cottage. But I wasn't worried he was safe. And that was all that mattered right now.
We had just entered the house through the back glass doors, and Emmett was about to laying me on the couch when Carlisle's voice stopped him. "No Emmett take her to Edwards old room, she will need to sleep for a while and the bed in there will be more comfortable for her."
"Thank you, Emmett but I can…" I said trying to get out of his hold. But he was to strong.
"No you don't, Dr.'s orders, right Carlisle?" Emmett asked. But before he could even get an answer he was running up the stairs. He stopped just inside the door and than at a more slower pace he moved to the bed and laid me carefully down.
"You know I wont break right Em?" I asked with a little laugh at how careful he was being with me.
"Yeah, he knows, he just doesn't want you leaving again any time soon." Alice's voice came from the doorway.
"And besides as tried as you are you never know just how breakable you may be." Rose said coming up behind her. They both looked so worried that I had to laugh.
"What?" they all asked
"You guys act like you have never seen me tried, and…well the looks on your face's are just priceless."
"Well…ok your right. We have seen you tried before, but this just seemed so more. I never saw you almost fall, let alone with a child in your hands." Alice said confused.
"Yeah, and about the kid? Who is he anyway?" Emmett asked with complete curiosity on his face. He reminded me of Mason when he wanted to know something really bad.
I don't know if it was the very soft bed or the fact that I was actually really exhausted but I was starting to drift off to sleep while was talking. I answered his question as best I could while yawning "He's my son silly." And my eyes closed and sleep took over. The last thing I remember hearing was Alice whispering in my ear. "Don't worry, Mason is safe and we're here if you need anything."
Chapter 9
Sarina's POV
I was laying in a field of wild flowers watching Mason chance a butterfly, when I could suddenly smell eggs and bacon. I sat up and looked around me and Mason was gone.
"Mason!!" I screamed and throw open my eyes, Edward was setting on the side of the bed his hands on my shoulders.
"Sarina, its ok. Mason's downstairs with everyone he's fine. In fact he's having an eating contest with Jake and Nessie." Edward said with a huge grin on his face.
I took a deep breath and said "Well good luck to them, that boy loves his eggs and bacon." I looked up into his eyes and they were the same color as the topaz ring on my finger. I tore my eyes from his and stared at the wall behind him. "So was he any trouble last night?"
"Not at all, he went to sleep the minute his head hit the pillow. And he got up about an hour ago."
"Good, I'm glad he felt safe enough with you and your family to get a good's night sleep. He hasn't gotten one of those in a while. What with all the bad dreams he's had lately. But that's probably my fault." I looked down at the bed covers I was sitting on.
"What do you mean his bad dreams are your fault?"
I looked at him and thought, "Well to start with I started having them about three weeks ago, there were about the Volturi coming here, and will… lets just say if I hadn't come none of you would be alive today."
"They weren't dreams…they were vision's, wasn't they?" he asked.
"Yeah they were. I guess I must have at some point started talking in my sleep. Because the next thing I know he's having nightmares and crying for me to save Nessie. I tried talking to him about them but all he would say is that I had to save Nessie so that he could meet her. It never made any since to me. Until last night."
"What was that all about any way, it was like Bella was being pulled or something toward you."
"Not Bella to me, but Nessie to Mason, they have some kind of…connection, I guess you could call it. I'm still a little in the dark about it. I don't know why, but I can't see his future that clearly any more. It's really starting to freak me out. That's another reason why I came here."
"Don't worry we'll do what ever we have to, to help."
"Oh, Edward thank you thank so much, you don't know what this means to me." I was so happy that I didn't even think about what I was doing, I grabbed Edward in a big bear hug that took him by surprise and we fell to the floor with a loud thud.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Bella yelled coming in the door and finding me hugging her husband on the floor of his old room.
"Bella…calm down before…" Edward tried to say but before he could finish Bella flung herself at us, grabbed me around the neck and slammed me into the wall by the door. I could hear the wood of the frame splinter I hit so hard.
I could see the rage glowing in her blood red eyes. "No!!!. Let my mommy go." I heard coming from the door way, I glanced over to see Mason standing there, he was starting to glow. I knew what would come if he let go of his full force and it wouldn't be good.
"Mason stop I will handle this." I thought to him and his light dimmed but he didn't let it go. I could see the others standing be hind him now.
This wasn't going to go over well, being a new born meant that not even Emmett or Jake had a chance of pulling her off me.
"Edward get Mason and keep them all back…you too." I could see him nod and than moved to the door and picked Mason up and ordered everyone back.
The minute Bella saw Edward move toward us she throw me across the room and through the glass wall of the bedroom. I did a quick flip and landed safely on the balls of my feet. I could hear her scream from above me and looked up to see her come flying out of the room straight towered me. She landed a few feet in front of me. The look on her face was that of pure hatred, and the growl that was coming from her only intensified it.
"Bella you miss understood…"
"Be quite witch, I understand exactly what you were doing, you were going after my husband, you hear me MY HUSBAND!!"
"Bella, NO I wasn't, he offered to help me and I was just so thankful that I hugged him. It was a hug between two friends that's all Bella. "
"Liar!" she yelled. Than she threw herself at me again. But this time I was ready for her. While spinning out of her reach I through my hands in the air and a blur ball of energy rapped itself nicely around her, bring her to the ground. She hit and kicked it with everything she had, finally the anger that feed her strength began to fade and she fell to her knees, breathing hard.
"What did you do to her?" Emmett asked coming up behind me.
"It's a containment field, I can only use it if I don't want the person in it harmed. And it also…" I just couldn't bring myself to say it out loud not with Nessie standing in front of my with Jacob.
"Say it…out loud for the others to hear." Edward said looking from me to Bella. The look on his face was a mixture of fear and anger. His thoughts were the same, he didn't know what to feel or for who.
"It also drains the strength of the person inside it. Right now she's cut off from seeing and hearing us. All she knows is that she is in a safe place.
"What? You're kill her." Carlisle said, shocked.
"No it want, I'll release her as soon as she has calmed down enough to handle with out the field."
"Are you sure mommy will be alright?" Nessie said looking at me. She was radiating fear. I could feel it even though she was several feet from me.
"Don't worry little one she'll be fine." Than a thought occurred to me. "Nessie could you help me to help your mom?"
"No way, your not touching her while you have Bella looked in that thing. Guy's what if this is what she's been waiting for. What if…" before Jacob could finish Nessie interrupted him.
"Stop it Jake, I trust Sarina mommy attacked her and Sarina could have killed her, but she didn't. Now let me down."
"She's right Jacob, let her down Sarina's intentions are pure and I believe what she has planed will work." Edward encouraged him.
"Fine, but be warned, I'll be watching you." and with that he set Nessie on the ground. She came bouncing over to me and raised her tinny little hand to me and said "Lets help mommy."
Bella's POV
What was going on, one minute I was watching the kids try and beat Jake in an eating contest. And the next I was looking at Sarina hugging Edward while they laid on the floor of his old bedroom. The jealousy that surged through me was out of control and sending me toward her before I could stop my self.
Than I was slamming her in to the wall with my hand at her throat. Suddenly Mason was at the door yelling something at me but I couldn't hear him I could see the glow that was starting to come from him and than it dimmed. At the same time Edward moved to his side and picked him up. I couldn't help but feel angry that he was helping her child and not me. I picked Sarina up and throw her through the wall of glass on the other side of the room.
As I watched her land I was even more angered that she wasn't harmed. I jumped down toward her and landed a few feet away.
"Bella you miss understood…" she started but the sound of her voice just pushed me even further.
"Be quite witch, I understand exactly what you were doing, you were going after my husband, you hear me MY HUSBAND!!"
"Bella, NO I wasn't, he offered to help me and I was just so thankful that I hugged him. It was a hug between two friends that's all Bella." what was she talking about the last thing I had hear in that bedroom was Edward asking why Mason's bad dreams were her fault? Than there was that loud thud.
"Liar!" I yelled. Than I threw myself at her again. But this time she was ready for me.
She began spinning out of my reach and suddenly a blue ball of energy appeared and wrapped itself around me, taking me to the ground. I was hitting and kicking it with everything I had, finally the anger that feed me began to fade and I fell to my knees, breathing hard.
When I looked around my first thought was that somehow I had ended up in a blue ocean, but I wasn't afraid…I was calm. Very calm.
It seemed like forever before the blue started to change and I could just make out what looked like Edward's old room, than I could hear a familiar voice say "Lets help mommy." Nessie?
Chapter 10
Sarina's POV
The second Nessie touched my hand I copied her power, I was already sending my thoughts of what happened in the bedroom to Bella. Now I just hoped she'd believe it.
"Nessie I needed you to go into my thoughts with me, so we can together show your mom what really happened in the bedroom. She thought I was doing something bad with your daddy but she didn't hear the private conversation that we had. Will you help me?" I thought.
"Well daddy trust you and so do I. Plus Mason told me that you weren't here to hurt us so, OK."
"Good. Now lets go"
Together we moved over to the field and sat on the ground. I placed her hand on one side and mine on the other, while still keeping our other hands together. We closed our eyes and entered into Bella's mind.
We were standing inside Edward's room just behind Bella. I looked down at Nessie "Go ahead talk to your mother."
"Mommy? Can you hear me?"
At the sound of Nessies voice Bella turned with a smile on her face that quickly turned to a snarl when she looked at me.
"Stop it mommy. Sarina has brought me here to show you what you missed in this room. Please mommy just listen."
Bella calmed and focused on Nessie "Alright, for you. You would never lie to me."
Than I began to replay what happed but this time what was kept between me and Edward was let out for them to hear.
"It that what really happened?" Bella asked looking down at Nessie.
"Yes mommy it is I can feel the truth of it coming from Sarina if she was lying I would know. But she's not. It was just a misunderstanding on your part."
"Oh god, what have I done." Bella looked at me and if she could have cried she would have. Her voice cracked and she looked so sad that I nearly cried. "Sarina can you ever forgive me?"
Before I answered I brought us back out of the scene and stood up. I looked down at Nessie gave her wink and released her hand, rising both of mine hands and than quickly dropping them the blue field disappeared and in its place stood Bella still looking like she could cry.
"No Bella I can't for give you…" before I could finish Bella interrupted.
"Of course you can't, I don't deserve…"
"Bella stop…I can't forgive you because there's nothing to forgive. If I was in your place I would have done the same thing. Now come, and lets start the day the way it should have." I reached over to her and she looked at my hand.
I heard the hushed gasp of the family as their thoughts of her attacking me again ran through their minds. Edward was seeing the same thoughts and quickly grabbed up Nessie and handed her back to Jacob. I could see that Rose was holding Mason, and he too was a afraid for me. Edward was about to step forward to talk to her. But I told him to stay back this was between me and her.
Bella just looked at my hand and than she slowly looked up at me. "Are you sure? Can it be that easy?"
"Well…only if you take my hand and go back inside and start this day over with me. Downstairs that is."
With a deep breath she reached out and carefully placed her hand in mine. "Ok…lets go."
We turned to head back inside then and saw everyone just standing there staring at us.
"Well…I guess if they want to stay out here. Than that means what ever is left of breakfast is mine." And with us both laughing, off to the house we ran hand in hand.
Emmett's POV
"Go Nessie, Go Mason." I cheered the kids on.
"Man watch him go he really loves eggs and bacon, don't he Rose?"
"He sure does, I never thought I would see the day that anyone could give that dog a run for his money when it came to food." she replied with a smirk directed at Jacob. He just ignored her and kept eating.
Everyone was watching the eating contest when Edward stood up and moved toward the stairs.
"Is everything alright? Esme looked up at him and asked.
"Sarina's having a bad dream. I'm just going to check on her. I'll be back in a minute." He replied, looking over at Bella and smiled.
I glanced over at Bella to and she just smiled back and shock her head saying, "He's always trying to help someone." And than she turned back to the kids.
I knew that we all could hear the conversation coming from upstairs. Than it got really quite for a while and than there was a loud thud. Before I could move Bella was gone and up the stairs.
"Not good." Alice said. I looked over to see her jump up and run after Bella with Mason in her arms. The rest of us followed. Alice had let Mason down at the door and we all gathered around them I could hear Bella inside asking what was going on. And than I looked over Alice's head to see her slam Sarina into the wall hand around her throat.
"No!!!. Let my mommy go." I looked down to see Mason yelling at Bella he was starting to glow again. Than he dimmed and Edward picked him up while telling us all to move back.
Just than Bella threw Sarina out the back glass wall and as she watched her fall she screamed and jumped out following her. We all ran outside to see what was gong on.
We got there just in time to hear Bella yell "Liar!" Than she threw herself at Sarina.
Sarina started to spin out of Bella's reach and through her hands in the air suddenly a blue ball of energy appeared it rapped itself around Bella, and brought her to the ground. She hit and kicked it with everything she had, finally the anger that feed her strength began to fade and she fell to her knees, breathing hard.
"What did you do to her?" I asked
"It's a containment field, I can only use it if I don't want the person in it harmed. And it also…"
Say it…out loud for the others to hear." Edward said looking from Sarina to Bella. He looked like he wanted to hit something, or someone.
"It also drains the strength of the person inside it. Right now she's cut off from seeing and hearing us. All she knows is that she is in a safe place.
"What? You're kill her." Carlisle said, shocked.
"No it want, I'll release her as soon as she has calmed down enough to handle with out the field."
"Are you sure mommy will be alright?" Nessie asked.
"Don't worry little one she'll be fine." Sarina's eyes widen as if a thought had just occurred to her.
"Nessie could you help me to help your mom?"
"No way, your not touching her while you have Bella looked in that thing. Guy's what if this is what she's been waiting for. What if…" before Jacob could finish Nessie interrupted him.
"Stop it Jake, I trust Sarina mommy attacked her and Sarina could have killed her, but she didn't. Now let me down."
"She's right Jacob, let her down Sarina's intentions are pure and I believe what she has planed will work." Edward encouraged him.
"Fine, but be warned, I'll be watching you." and with that he set Nessie on the ground. She went bouncing over to Sarina and raised her tinny little hand to her and said "Lets help mommy."
They moved over to the ball and placed there hands on it. Just a few minutes passed and they both stood up, Sarina looked down at Nessie and than dropped their hands.
Sarina raised both of her hands and than quickly dropping them the blue field disappeared and in its place stood Bella she looked like she could cry.
"No Bella I can't for give you…" before she could finish Bella interrupted.
"Of course you can't, I don't deserve…"
"Bella stop…I can't forgive you because there's nothing to forgive. If I was in your place I would have done the same thing. Now come, and lets start the day the way it should have." Sarina reached over to her and she looked at her hand.
We all gasped at once, I knew we were all thing that Bella would once again attack her. And what than, would Sarina have to actually hurt Bella to stop her. Edward heard what we was thinking so he
grabbed up Nessie and handed her back to Jacob. He looked as if he was about to go over to Bella but than suddenly stopped.
Bella just looked at Sarina's hand and than she slowly looked up at her. "Are you sure? Can it be that easy?"
"Well…only if you take my hand and go back inside and start this day over with me. Downstairs that is."
With a deep breath she reached out and carefully placed her hand in Sarina's. "Ok…lets go."
They turned to face us, but no one moved. What had just happened? What had I missed?
"Well…I guess if they want to stay out here. Than that means what ever is left of breakfast is mine." They both laughed and went running off into the house hand in hand.
Chapter 11
Bella's POV
We ran into the kitchen and I was surprised to find that there really was some food left. Than I thought hit me.
"Wait a minute." I said turning to look at Sarina who was putting food on a plate in front of her. "Vampires can't eat human food, it makes them sick."
She just looked at me and smiled, "Didn't Edward tell you, I have human abilities?"
"Well yeah the whole needing to sleep, but food?
"Lets go to the living room with everyone else and I'll explain." she said while picking up the plate that was full of eggs and bacon.
Just as we stepped into the living room my family came through the back doors. Edward had Mason and Jacob held Nessie. They were both laughing. While everyone else just stared in confusion.
"What's so funny?" I asked them.
Edward and Jake sat them down and they came running over to me. Sarina was setting on the couch trying to smile while biting into a piece of bacon.
"We were just thinking about how we beat Jake in the eating contest…" Nessie started the answer than Mason ended it.
"But he said it wasn't fair because you interrupted us. If he had gotten to finish he would he have won."
"Well I would have." Jake said a little miffed. He was just as bad as the kids. I just shock my head and laughed.
Edward came over and sat down on the floor beside me. Nessie climbed on to lap and Mason sat on Edwards. I looked at them and I couldn't help but think just how close they seemed to be. It was if Mason had know Edward all his life.
The sound of a throat being cleared made me look up. Jake was standing in front of Sarina arms crossed over is chest. "So what was that I heard about explaining everything?" "I'm surprised you heard that, what with all the laughing."
"I heard enough. So what about it."
"Hum…Ok than," she looked over at the others. "Well since the rest of you have heard this before, maybe you can take Nessie and Mason out and do something away from the house. Something safe?"
"If you want I can call Charlie and see if he would be up for some visitors and he could meet Mason." I offered.
"Sounds good Bella. Mason Charlie is Bella's dad and Nessies grandpa but he knows nothing about her power's so you can't show him yours either. Ok."
"Ok, mommy what ever you say. No power's."
"What a minute Sarina how did you know that?"
"I'll explain later." she gave me a wink and popped the last piece of food from her plate into her mouth.
I got up and went to stand by the front door, I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Charlie's number. The phone rang three times before he picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey dad."
"Bella? What's up? Everything ok?" I wasn't sure if it was a dad thing or just the cop in him but he was always asking me that.
"Everything's fine dad, I was just wondering if you was up for some visitors today. We have company and Nessie was wanting you to meet her new friend."
"For you and Nessie I always have time. Come on over."
"Thanks dad but it'll be Alice and Rose to bring Nessie. I have something's to do around here. Is that ok."
"Sure? Why wouldn't it be?"
"I was just making sure dad, that's all. So there'll see you in about 30 min?"
"Ok, see them then."
I hung up the phone and turned to see the boys looking at me in confusion.
"I figured if all of you went, Charlie would get suspicious that something more was going on. So I thought the two of you could go hunting or something.'
"Good thinking Bella." Edward said smiling.
"In that case, we're gone." Emmett said as he kissed Rose and disappeared out the back door. Jasper kissed Alice and followed him.
"Ok Nessie, Mason lets go see Charlie." Rose picked up Nessie, while Alice took Mason. They were gone and I could hear the sound of Rose's car taking off down the driveway.
"I'll go clean up the kitchen.' Esme said removing Sarina's plate from the coffee table and head off.
I looked at Carlisle who was sitting in a chair across from Sarina, Jake had taken the one opposite of him.
"I'll be staying, in case I can add anything or help explain something. Carlisle said.
"In other words, you'll dumb it down for me, when it gets to technical. Right?" Jake asked.
"If you need me to." he answered with a chuckle.
"Well than if your ready. I guess I should probably start from the very beginning." Sarina looked at me and I just nodded for her to begin.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again she looked as if she was seeing something far in the past.
"Five years after I was turned, I meet a vampire named Mores he had the ability to see into someone's past. I wanted more than anything to know if I had been told the truth about my family or if it was all a lie. You see Aro had told me that my family had died in a fire, but he saved me.
I had always believed him to a point but there something missing. So I went to see Mores one night and when he touched me I immediately copied his power. He did not understand why he was unable to see anything, not knowing that all I needed from him was his ability.
I went home and climbed to the top of the tower I had always loved it there it was my sanctuary. So I laid down and looked up at the stars, I started thinking 'Who am I really, where did I come from, who was my really parents, and what happened to them?' all the questions that I had asked myself over and over for years.
Suddenly the stars disappeared and I was no longer laying on the roof top instead I was standing in the middle of an old log cabin. As I looked around the room I could hear the sound of nickering horses coming from outside. I walked over to the window to see three men on horse back throw a lit torch into a pile of stacked wood. The screams that filled the air was blood curtailing.
I was just about to run out to see more when a torch came flying throw the window. It caught the drapes on fire, and the nearby chair before I knew it the whole place was lit up. I ran to the door to kick it open, and found my self stumble forward. As I stepped out on the ground I looked to see the men on horse back but all I saw was the horses, as I carefully moved forward I looked around and listened to see if they would try and sneak up on me. But all I heard was the breathing of the horses and the crackling of the fire.
As I got closer to the horses I could smell blood. Just than a sudden gust of wind blew up and made the fire flare making the horses bolt straight in the air and ran away as fast as they could.
The smell of burning flesh, caught my attention,
where was it coming from? The fire? I walked around it to see three figures tied to the burning piles of wood. I gasped and took a step back, something on the ground caught my attention I looked to see what it was only to find myself staring at the three men that had set the fire. Their throats had been ripped out. I quickly went into a defensive stand just in case what ever had done it would try to attack me. A crashing sound that came from the direction of the house caught my attention. I turned and growled as I saw someone come flying out of the upstairs window.
The man before me was dressed all in black his skin was as white as snow, and he held something wrapped in a blanket. It started moving and than I heard a small cry come from it.
"It's alright my dear Sarina, do not be afraid. I will protect you. The bad men are gone, I was to late to save your family but I will give you a new one." I knew at once that I was not really there I was in a forgotten memory. The child that was wrapped in the blanket was me and the man holding me was Aro."
A loud crash broke Sarina from her memory and I jumped startled by the unwelcome sound.
"Bella it's alright settle down, Jacob just fell out of his chair, he was so in grossed by the story that he didn't realize he was leaning to far forward." I looked up to see Edward standing way from me, that's when I realized that I was no longer sitting on the floor but crouching on it reading my self to attack the first thing that got close to me. I began to calm myself I straighten out and stood up.
"Sorry, Bella. I don't know why I was so pulled in. If was like I was there, seeing it." Jake apologized.
"It is not your fault Jacob I should have warned you, I forgot it's been so long since I told my story. You see when I start telling you what happen I see it again myself and than bring you in with me. So it is like you really are there. I am the one who needs to apologize. To you and to Bella. I'll try and tell you with out pulling you in this time.
"You took us into your memory with you? Like today when you and Nessie showed me what I got wrong?" I asked while sitting back on the floor. Edward joined me and pulled me close.
"Yes Bella. That is exactly what happed. Very good."
"Yeah, Yeah can we get back to the story." Jake asked anxiously.
Sarina gave him a quick look and laughed. "Ok were was I?"
Chapter 12
Sarina's POV
"You had just realized that Aro had saved you." Jacob replied.
"Ah yes. As I looked at Aro holding me I realized that he had told me the truth. The scene around me disappeared and I was returned to the star filled roof top. I asked Aro about what I saw and he confirmed that it was indeed the truth.
My real parents had settled in the area just before I was born. They had brought the land from a well known man in the town. When he passed way his three sons wanted the land back but my father refused to sell, he had grain growing and was about ready to be harvested. The sons were angry and told my father that if he did not reconsider by their next visit we would all pay. You saw for your selves what happened.
I never asked Aro anymore about that night. I had lived a good life because of him. I never had to go with out and I always felt safe even though I was constantly surrounded by vampires.
I was even allowed to have human friends, but I found them lacking, they had no super speed or strength, and they board me. So Aro stopped sending me to public school and had me home schooled. I was much happier that way.
My life was good. Than I turned 16 and my life was turned upside down. I got up the morning of my birthday and went downstairs to see Aro, as usual he gave me a hug, but what wasn't usual was the strange fluttering in my stomach. I decided to just forget it. Aro was throwing me a party so I went to get ready. That night I still wasn't felling well so I went out on the balcony to get some air. I was looking out at the ocean when a red rose was suddenly in front of me. I turned to see one the new members standing beside me. I had saw him watching me since the day he arrived. He was cute, and kind for a vampire.
And even though I had only spoken to him a few times, I felt an odd connection to him. I knew that I could trust him and that he would always be there for me.
"Happy Birthday, princess." he said with a laugh.
"Thank You." I blushed "You do know that I am not really a princess, right?"
"You are Aro's daughter and he is like a king to are kind therefore to me you are a princess."
"Your silly, but your also sweet." I reached over to take the rose from him and my hand touched his. At that moment I saw his entire life flash before my eyes. From the day he was born to the moment that were in. It was blurry like it was not really there but yet it was. My head began to spin and I fell forward he caught me immediately and headed back inside.
I was barley conscious, but I could hear the gasp as he stepped inside with me in his arms. "What happed?" Aro asked.
But before he could respond I threw my eyes open and looked into my fathers worried stare. "Nothing I felt faint that is all, you can put me down now Felix."
"What? Felix! You have got to be kidding me!" Bella's yelling broke me from the memory. I looked down at her and smiled.
"Yes Bella, Felix. You see he was not always the cruel vampire that you now. He was once…kind."
"Than, what happened to him to make him be the way he is today." she asked, and than throw her hand over her mouth. "Oops, sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud."
"It's ok, Bella. I understand. " I took a deep breath and glanced at Edward and than to Carlisle, they both gave me a look as if to say 'be careful.' I knew this was going to be tricky, I hoped that what I was about to tell her wouldn't end with her hand at my throat once again.
Bella's POV
Before I knew it the words I was thinking came rushing out of my mouth, "Than, what happened to him to make him be the way he is today." I throw my hand over my mouth. "Oops, sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud."
"It's ok, Bella. I understand. " Sarina said taking a deep breath and glanced at Edward and than to Carlisle, they both gave her a strange look, I could have swore that they were telling her to be careful. But why?
I looked back at Sarina, who looked like she was trying to decide how to began. I apparently wasn't the only one to see she was at a loss, because Carlisle cleared his throat and than said. "Bella scene, I already know Sarina's story my I suggest that she continues where she left off. It will explain both her coming into her powers as well as the change in Felix." I just looked at him and nodded. Than retuned to stare at Sarina waiting for her to continue.
She retuned my gaze and smiled, "Ok than. So I had just told Felix he could put me down. But Aro would not have it. He ordered Felix to take me to my room at once, and for me to rest. Felix obeyed at immediately, and before I could object he was laying me on my bed. When I looked up at his face I could see the same fear in his eyes that was in Aro's.
"Felix, relax I'm fine." I tried to sooth him.
"No your not. You fainted after you touched my hand…" he looked away from me suddenly. And I could tell that there was something else bothering him.
"What is it Felix? What's wrong?"
"It's just that when you tough me…it was as if my life flashed before my eyes. And its strange because I do not remember anything from when I was human, it is just a big jumble of a mess."
"You saw it to? I asked a little surprised.
"What?"
"When I touched you. I saw it to, from the first time you opened your eyes as a human, up until that moment. But it was blurry, like I was looking at it through fog. It was hard to see. I guess it was just to much for me. That's why I fainted."
A sound from the door made us both turn to see Aro just entering, "Well I always knew you were special, but to have an ability this strong will human is beyond anything I could have imagined."
"An ability? What are you talking about father?" I asked more than surprised, I knew vampires with abilities had limited access to them while still human. But until that day I had never even considered that I would have one.
"Let me ask you something my dear? How did you really feel when you woke up? Did you feel normal, or did you feel like you had wings inside of you?" Aro asked this as if he knew it first hand.
"Well…I really did not feel normal, but I just figured that I was excited about the party. Than when I hug you the feeling increased, still I pushed it aside. It was nothing I could not handle…until I touched Felix's hand." I could feel my face redden, I looked at Felix who was staring at the floor, than I looked to see Aro glaring at him.
I stood from my bed, placing myself in between the two. "Father please do not blame anything on Felix, he has done nothing wrong. He gave me a rose for a gift, when I took it my hand glazed his, and well you heard the rest."
Aro's stance became more at ease and he moved over to me and took my hands in his, "My dear I was not blaming Felix for anything, I was just wondering why he was the first to cause your ability to awaken."
"Could it be do to the…friendship we seem to have with each other." Felix asked making me turn to star at him. I had never heard him say so much in front of Aro.
"Hum…Sarina dear do you agree with Felix that you have some kind of friendship between you?"
I smiled at Felix and shock my head Yes. "Well than perhaps that is why." As I looked at Felix I realized that I still had no ideal how this had happened. I turned back to Aro who was staring at nothing.
"Father I still do not understand, how is it possible that I am now showing signs of a power? I have never had anything like this happen to me before."
"Sometimes humans show no abilities at all, until they change. Some show signs from child hood, and there are a very few who's abilities do not show until they are mature enough to handle them. These few have very strong and powerful abilities, that become even more when they are changed."
"So what ever I can do now, would become even more if I were to be changed?" When I looked at Aro his expression was of shock, and I could see Felix who had moved to his side felt the same.
"What?"
"Do you want to be changed?" Aro asked.
"What? No…I was just saying that if…one day I was changed I would be…what stronger?"
Aro answered with a smile, "Yes, my dear you would be stronger." A sudden ringing cut Sarina off, and I looked over to see Edward whip his cell from his pocket.
"Hello?" he asked in a rush. "Alice what is it?"
He glanced from me to Sarina and smiled, "Do you see anything…good, than I don't see a problem why not, see you later." and with that he hung up the phone. "Alice just wanted to know if the kids could stay with Charlie for a while longer, their both having fun and don't want to leave yet. I said they could, was that alright Sarina."
"Did Alice see anything?"
"No"
"Than as long as Mason is having fun, you did the right thing." The sound of mumbling caught are attention and we all looked to see Jacob standing by the back door. "Well, they sure are getting pretty tight."
Edward and Sarina both laughed, I'm sure at the ideals going through his head. Realizing that he had are attention he turned and a low growl escaped from his throat.
"What's wrong with you now, Jake?" I asked looking between the three of them for an answer.
"Go ahead, tell her." He looked at Edward.
"He's…jeal…jealous. Of the time Nessies spending with Mason." he was barley able to get the words out he was laughing so hard.
"What? Jake really, come on you can't be?"
"Yeah, well she was mine first."
"Technically she was mine first, but hey I don't want to be a baby about." I said looking at Jake trying not to laughed at him. He responded by showing just how much of a child he still was by sticking his tongue out at me.
"Well if you are quite finished with this childish display, my we get back to the story?" leave it to Carlisle to get everyone back on track.
"Yeah, but no offence do you think you could speed it up somehow?"
Sarina smiled, "Sure Jake, what ever makes you happy." He just huffed and set back down in chair.
Chapter 13
Sarina's POV
I smiled, "Sure Jake, what ever makes you happy." He just huffed and set back down in chair.
"So Aro was telling me that I would be stronger if I was turned. But because I was not up for that just yet, he let the ideal go, for the time. He told me to rest and that we would take more in the morning. Felix was supposed to leave, but as soon as Aro was going he snuck back in, and set by my bed side the entire night. It was not the most peacefully night sleep I ever had. Visions of Felix's past and my own keep swilling together.
The next day began with Aro's questionings. He wanted to know what I felt when I had hugged him the morning before? I told him that it was as if a huge surge went through me.
Aro had me practice every day to see just how strong my powers were. One day Aro had a visitor she was a young vampire who he wanted to join the family, when I meet with her I touched her hand and I once again felt the surge go through me. I started to fall backwards but she caught me, the second her arm wrapped around me her life flashed before my eyes, but instead of it stopping at that moment I saw her meeting with a young blond haired vampire meeting for the first time in a small dinner, it was pouring the rain down out side and he taken cover inside.
It was at that moment that Aro walked into the room he asked what had happened and I told him. Apparently our guess had the power to see the future and now so could I, Aro asked her to show me how to do it, I did as she told me and I closed my eyes, at first all I saw was darkness but than it started to lighten I saw the girl with the blond haired boy they where with three others and they were all happy. The vision ended and I fell into Aro's waiting arms.
He asked me what I saw but for the first time in my life I lied to him. And told him that I saw myself running in a beautiful meadow filled with wild flowers. The fact that he believed me took me by surprise, it was than I realized that he could no longer see what I was thinking. He sat me on the floor letting me rest, the look on his face was that of realization, I asked him what was wrong.
He told me that he knew what was going on, my true ability was to copy the abilities of others. I was confused I had no ideal what it really meant. Than I saw the girl standing beside me and I knew I had to send her to the life I saw. I asked Aro if I could have some time alone with her to understand how the visions worked he agreed and left.
I leaned in and whispered in her ear, so that not even vampires could hear me. I told her to leave to find the blond and her happy life and to never come back. She hugged me and than left. Of course Aro was mad that she had disappeared but he was to busy to care for long.
Three days had passed and Aro called me to the grand hall, as I arrived I saw four strange vampires talking to him. He introduced us and I reached out my hand to them, they each took a turn shacking it and I felt a sudden surge go through me with each turn. The last thing I remembered was Aro holding me in his arms.
I woke to find that I had passed out and three days had passed. Aro told me that he was sorry apparently all five vampires had an ability and he wanted to see if I would copy them all.
We started my training a few days layer. The four vampires each had earthly gifts fire, water, earth and air. And I had indeed copied them. My training was not difficult, I was able to access my powers with ease but the more I used them the worse my head would hurt. Finally the pain was so bad that I went into a coma like state.
I woke to find that I had been like that for nearly a week and Aro had called in a friend who was a practicing doctor. That is when I meet Carlisle and Edward."
Carlisle's voice brought me out of my memory. "Perhaps I should explain this. You see I diagnosed Sarina with a tumor of a sort, her abilities was causing her brain to swell and if she did not stop using them she would have a brain aneurism. Of course Aro for bid her to use them. But that was not as easy as it sounds." He smiled and than gave the floor back to me.
"Thank you Carlisle." But before I could continue Bella asked, "Wait who was the girl with the visions, it sounded a lot like Alice."
"Indeed Bella it was, she was very young and she had a vision of Aro so she found him. But her life was not to be with him, so I helped her to find her way. Now on with the story." she just nodded at me, so I continued.
"You see I had not yet been that close to Edward, Felix would not let me out of his sight and was afraid if I touched anyone new that I would use a gift and be harmed and he wouldn't have it. But Aro needed him one night and sent him away once again with Demetri.
I went out to the garden to see the night flowers bloom, I had been setting there for almost an hour when I heard the most beautiful music I had ever heard coming from just inside the door that let to the garden. I returned inside and saw Edward setting at the piano playing with great ease.
I watched him play until he looked up and saw me, he stopped and stood about to leave when I asked him what he was playing it was just something he was working on.
We ended up sitting and talking all night. He was kind enough to walk me back to my room, as we reached the door he…" I looked at Bella and smiled.
"Go ahead finish your story, I'm fine."
"I don't know if I should."
"Sarina please keep going." she smiled at me. I took a deep breath and continued. "We reached the door and he bent down and kissed me on the cheek, the surge that flew through me, felt like I had been struck by lightening, it was the strongest I had ever felt. But I didn't faint, instead I found myself hearing him scold himself for touching me, knowing that he could have hurt me. I just wanted to calm him and started yelling for him to stop it that I was fine. But I couldn't find my voice. He was just standing there looking at me like I had slapped him.
I wanted to asked him what was wrong, and he replied by asking me why I had just yelled at him. It was at that moment that we both realized that I had copied his gift and that are little exchange was going on through our minds.
After that we were never apart, Carlisle was worried about my health so they decided to stay for awhile. It had been five days since Felix had left. Edward and I sat at the piano, he was working on that same song from before when I heard someone yelling my name from down the hall. Before I could move the doors burst open and Felix stormed in, I had never seen him so mad.
He come over to us hitting the piano knocking it into the wall it burst into pieces at the same time he had Edward by the throat and slammed him into the wall over the destroyed piano.
Edward was trying to get out of his grip and I was pulling on his arm screaming at him to release Edward. Nothing we did worked, I stepped back from him closed my eyes and forced the air between his hand and Edwards neck to grow forcing his grip to loosen as soon as Edward fell from his grasp I used the air around him and throw him across the room smashing him into the wall on the other side.
The look on his face nearly broke my heart. I had never used my powers to do harm, let alone on some one who was like my brother.
At the sound of the fight Aro and Carlisle came rushing into the room and Felix was on his feet. Aro commanded him to stop, he looked at me and said he was sorry. Aro had told Felix about me coping Edwards power and that we had gotten pretty close, he didn't know that Felix would take this as bad news. I looked over at Felix and he was looking at Edward a small growl coming from his chest.
I asked him what his problem was he refused to look at me instead he turned and stormed out of the room. I followed and we ended up in my room.
I confronted him again this time he grabbed me by the shoulders and told me that he was in love with me and would not let me choose someone who was so careless with my health as Edward had been.
Before I could even think off what to say to him, he pulled me into him and kissed me. But it was a kiss that scared me I had never been afraid of Felix until that moment. I used everything in me to push him away, instead I teleported from his side to the doorway where Edward caught me the last thing I remembered was the searing pain shooting through my head.
Bella's POV
Ok so Edward and Sarina was more than just friends there was something more growing between them? What was that I missed something.
"Instead I teleported from his side to the doorway where Edward caught me the last thing I remembered was the searing pain shooting through my head." did she just say teleported? Where did that come from, but Jake beet me to the question.
"Wait a minute teleported when did you get that power? Jake asked.
"It was a combination of all the powers I had obtained." Sarina answered him.
"Please let her continue." I looked to see everyone staring at me. But Sarina did as I asked.
"I woke a week later to find that everything had changed. The pain that I remembered that traveled from my head to my entire body had not been just from the use of my powers but was from Aro's decision to have Carlisle change me."
"They had waited for as long as Carlisle had dread, he changed me as a last resort. But my change was not all that was different. When I opened my eyes I had expected to see Felix at my side as usual but instead Aro, Edward and Carlisle was there. Aro had sent Felix away he was being punished for what he had caused me to do. I soon found that the gifts I had was much stronger, I barely even had think about what I wanted to do and it was done. I was out one night hunting when I came across the vampire who could see ones past, you know what happened."
"A few days later Aro came to me and said know that new for a fact that he did save me as a child, and again by changing me, he wanted to make sure that I would always be as happy as possible. He asked me to look into Edward's future, to see if he would make a good addition to the family at my side."
"I did as he asked but what I saw was not Edward, I saw a young man in a police uniform walk into a hospital room where his wife sat holding their newborn baby daughter. I broke from the vision shock my head than tried again this time I saw the baby rapidly growing and when she stopped she was laying in a meadow wrapped in some ones arms, I looked closely and was surprised to find that Edward was the one holding her. I could see the happiness they shared."
"I returned to the present and turned away from Aro, I looked out the nearby windows as he came up behind me taking me into his arms, he asked what I had saw to upset me. As I looked out the window I saw Edward in the garden, I knew that if I told Aro the truth he would be furious and I had to protect Edward no matter what."
"I told Aro that Edward would not make a good addition to the family, that he would be more trouble than any help. I was so relieved that he believed me. But before I could be to relieved the vision that hit me took my breath away. I saw Aro standing over Edward demanding to know why he would not marry me, why he would want to be apart of the family, but before he could answer Aro moved to the side and Felix stepped forward he ripped Edwards head off and throw it into the fireplace. And with that the vision ended.
"Aro noticed at once something was wrong he asked me about it but I told him I saw nothing important. I excused my self and left the room as fast as I could. I went to my room I looked out my window down into the garden below and saw Edward and reached out with my mind, I told him what Aro had asked of me, I told him what I saw from the second vision leaving out the first and that I thought he should get Carlisle and leave as soon as possible. That it was no longer safe for them there.
He did as I asked and they left that very day. When Aro asked me what had happened, I told him the truth that I didn't trust him to let them leave on there own. And that I would not have Edward harmed just because he would not join us. Aro was so angry, I had never seen that side of him, he actually made me afraid of him so afraid that I packed a bag and I left that night and I never returned."
"But I thought Aro believed you were dead?" Bella asked pulling me back.
"Yes he did. You see not to long after I left I came across a vampire burning pit, the Volturi used them to burn there enemies in, there was a hand lay just out side the flames I picked it up to toss in than realized it looked a lot like mine, I decided to place the family ring I wore onto this hand and tossed it into the flames. When they cleaned out the pit the would find it and see it was mine, Aro had it engraved just for me."
"I spent many years alone, only finding vampires with gifts. I knew that if Aro ever found me I would need as much power as I could get my hands on.
"I ran across Carlisle and the entire family about 60 years ago that's when I decided to change my last name to Cullen. And I was happy to find that Alice had meet Jasper and they were now apart of the family. And that Edward and I still had are connection of true friendship." she looked over at him and smiled I saw him return it.
"So what about Mason where does he come into your story?" Jake asked now standing and stretching.
"Perhaps we should leave that until tomorrow, so the others will be here. Besides Alice and the kids are on they're way home they will be here in about twenty minutes, and the boys are back to." I turned to the back door just in time to see Emmett push Jasper across the back lawn.
Esme's sudden appearance startled me I had forgotten she was even in the house. She was getting on to the boys for horsing around.
Than I could hear the sound of Rosalie's car coming up the drive. Before the car even cut off Nessie came running into the house with Mason at her side but jumped into Jakes arms, I saw her little hand go to the side of his face and I knew that she was showing him what had taken place today. And Mason was in Sarina's lap, he was glowing he was so happy.
Alice and Rose came in together both smiling. "Well I guess you were right, they really did need to come home to tell them." Alice was saying to Rose.
Mason was telling Sarina that Charlie wanted to take him fishing and he really wanted to go. Nessie had finally let Jake out of the vision and he was asking her when they where planning to go to La Push to fish.
I couldn't help but fill grateful to Sarina. If it had not been for her, none of this would be happening right now.
