Battle of The Elements

Summery: Bella reached toward Blaze to take her hand and comfort her, cringing away from her burning hot skin, Blaze panicked under the close contact, and in an instant, Bella's world changed before her eyes.

Prologue:

The Cullen's have made the decision to adopt another child due to the regular lonely occurrences at the Cullen household. Assuming that this new girl will make all that of a difference, the Cullen family gets more then they bargained for. A young teen that is much to beautiful for her age? Crazy happenings that can only be described as supernatural? Something's going on at the Cullen home, and it's less normal then a family of vampires.

What if Blaze and Bella aren't complete strangers?

What if Bella's mother, Renee, has been keeping a long lost secret from what people think is her only daughter?

When Blaze's unexplained gift changes not only her life but Bella's also, are the Cullen's willing to lay it all on the table for the sake of their somewhat 'unstable' family member? Or will the pressure of keeping what the government describes as a 'freak of nature' under control take it's toll on the family of vampires?

And what will happen when the Volturi gets involved too?

Chapter Two:

The Element of Disguise

Blaze's POV.

As the Cullen's made finishing touch ups to the house hold, the wolf pack planned for a kidnap and Blaze sat on the plane starring down to the ground with Terry at her side, everything seemed to be in place for each person. Blaze's flight was on schedule, the Cullen's were ready for their new child, as well as the wolves were ready to take the child.

The flight was quiet, Terry slept and the flight attendant refused to serve me. The reason I had not yet figured out, but it must be an odd one considering I did no such thing to the lady. I suppose there was always option B. Terry wasn't always the best care taker, and I really wanted some peanuts. Maybe if the Flight attendant smelt a little smoke I could get her attention. Terry would remained sociologically scared from being roasted alive, but he would never have to worry about me again, and I would have my peanuts.

Mentally laughing, I couldn't help but shake my head at myself. Weather it was the anxiety from flying, or the giddiness from getting away… nothing I had ever felt compared to the emotions and thoughts running through my head now.

Soon enough, the plane landed and I was walking trough the airport beside Terry with my backpack and sports bag in tow. The people looked different from back home. There, everyone always seemed happy to see each other. Here, it's as if they can't get away fast enough. Almost as if everyone had an infectious disease and no one wanted to be the ones to catch it.

"Blaze! Hurry up!" Terry's voice hissed from a few feet away. He was anxious and nervous, as if he wasn't sure the Cullen's would take me when they saw me. Which would be normal, but they had signed the papers, so legally, I was now their child. Whatever way it turned, at least if it didn't work out with these people, it would be a new experience. I could see it now.

Family takes in crazy child. Sources say she's recently burning away yet another orphanage while family goes through new identification papers in order to flee from country, child scars family for life!

Rushing over to catch Terry, I saw something move in the corner, it was a darker hall, leading down towards an airport staff lounge most likely. But I could feel it's eyes on me, and the prickly nervousness of being watched started to send pins and needles up and down my spine and I couldn't help but begin to constantly turn around to watch behind me, as if there was a chance they would creep up on me any second.

My back itched with irritation and my stomach flipped with nervousness. "Terry… bathroom." the first words I had spoken in hours since we had left the home, and the plane.

Pointing to a small hall lined with doors a clear sign stuck to the side of the wall with the bathroom sign on it, Terry sighed impatiently and watched as I ascended towards the hall. One much like that of the hall I saw the figure in. I couldn't back away now, Terry would have a fit, but I couldn't very well walk right into what might be a trap. Then again, what really did it matter? Everything I had ever been given or any chances that had ever proved to be useful or fulfilling had somehow drifted away or been taken from me. I can't help but feel this shall follow the same fate.

Trusting my more courageous side, I sauntered towards the hall and rushed towards the ladies room not feet from me. With one last rush, I leapt towards the door as the feeling of being watched increased to alarming rates. As I walked passed the door unscathed, I took a deep breath and thanked the heavens for my safe arrival. Giggling at my rookie mistake, I turned the corner and stopped dead as I froze.

Before me stood four towering native boys all spread across the room. The only sound was my red hot heart pounding in my ears deafeningly loud. My breathing hitched and the room began to get hot, too hot. Taking a deep breath, I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing seemed to come out. A small voice inside my head countered, maybe there weren't here for me, but then again… why would they be waiting in the ladies room if they weren't looking to take someone?

Gulping once, I turned on them and tried to smile, praying it wasn't me they were here for. "Uh… hi?"

"Are you Blaze Element?" the biggest boy asked in a booming voice, one that could surely be heard across the airport. Maybe I'd be lucky enough someone would here it and come bounding in here to save me.

"No, no I'm not." my voice was strong and sure, confident and cool as if I were use to lying, and that I was.

"They said she medium height, short straight hair, weird eyes. I think the girls lying." another boy said, a small smile creasing his face.

"Sorry, I think I hear my caretaker calling my name." I smiled politely and excused myself from the bathroom. Rushing the corner, his voice was there again.

"Not so fast. Orphan I'm guessing? Your Blaze Element and you need to come with us." freezing on the spot, I cringed as my mind screamed for me to do anything but stand there.

"Sorry, I'm not suppose to talk to strangers."

"Embry, Jared, Jake and Paul. There, you know our names and we know yours. We're not strangers anymore. Let's go."

As a last attempt to make a run for the door, I bolted towards and in an endless lunge to save myself, I couldn't help but swear as two restricting arms pulled me back. Heating my skin, the wonder and questioning instinct settled in as the boy holding me seemed to stand unscathed. As if he was oblivious to the heat. But any hotter, and I would scorch my clothes, and even if I managed to make a run for it… I had no intention of running through the airport naked.

"God Dammit, can't you people cut me a break?" I asked loudly, growling slightly when all I earned was a bunch of rough and deep laughter.

"Sorry, kid. You gotta come with us." I could hear the smile in his voice was they knocked my feet out from under me and in an instant had me in one's arms and headed towards the emergency exit.

"You know the only one here with an emergency is me, legally you can't use this door." I frowned loudly.

"Good thing we've got no care for the law then."

Suddenly, the outside air and sun hit me off guard. And as soon as it started, it stopped. Unrepentantly we were racing at speeds I have never experienced before. "What the hell?" I yelled at the top of my lungs as we ran through the forest. Eventually, the thrill of accelerating speeds caught up with me and it became somewhat of a boring trip.

But as we reached a clearing crowded with oversized wolves, my heart pounded throughout my body and it felt as if something were choking me without will. My breathing hitched and as I watched them carry me forward all I could do was struggle in his grasp. Kicking and squirming all this would grant me was a loss of breath. Holding me tighter, I couldn't help but curse again as we stopped in front of the wolves that towered around me. Dropping me to the ground, the boys that I had seen at the airport disappeared into the forest and I was left alone with these animals.

Raising to my feet, I watched silently as four more wolves walked out into the line and the biggest black wolf and leader turned and headed for the forest. Taking a small and hopefully unnoticeable step back, suddenly the hole clearing filled with growls and hisses. Out of no where a native man in shorts with no shirt on walked through the center line of the wolves.

"Blaze Element, my name is Sam Uley. Leader of the La Push Pack Protectors." he called out in a booming voice. Louder then the boy's voice that was in the airport bathroom. Refusing to meet the eyes of this stranger, my red eyes flared as I felt the heat of instinctive danger increase.

"What are you?" I called out, desperate for answers to questions I had no control over. With no other proof, I would assume they were possibly just teenagers and idiots on straioeds, but if it not for the towering wolves before me, I would know no better.

"That is non of your concern. You are brought here today because you pose as a threat. You are not human and that is our within our business."

"How do you know these things?" I moaned. For once I had come here as a normal person and I was even a freak here.

"Silence child!"

"You no what… no. I will not 'silence'." I hissed throwing my arms in the air dramatically before I could begin again. "I came here as an escape. I'm not going to kill your people or kids or dogs or whatever. I just want a chance to be normal! So just let me be!" I yelled as my eyes flared and the heat around the clearing increased. A blast of hot air began to ride the waves of wind that began to blow through the area. Looking into the eyes of this Sam Uley, I watched as the same reaction occurred with him as it did everyone else. Shock, wonder, then pity. Just like everyone else.

In a sudden blast of wind, I turned to look at the other side of the clearing. Watching with poised eyes, I cringed as the feeling I had received in the airport returned. Someone was here. "Cullen family, you are not welcome here!" Sam yelled and as I turned to look at him, he was indeed yelling to the spot were I had just be watching.

Turning back to the edge of the clearing, seven pale people stood silently before us. I couldn't see this far in front of me, but I couldn't help but feel trouble was here, and it wasn't going to end up good. "We are not here to fight. We are here to claim what is ours. Give us the girl and we will leave." what looked as the leader called. Sam Uley had called these people the Cullen's, but surely not the ones I was sent here to live with. Looking closer, I saw the outline of the figures I had seen in the picture my new family had sent me. All unnaturally beautiful, all pale… but there was a brown haired girl missing.

"This girl could be dangerous. We will keep her here until I see she is of no potential threat." Sam bargained. Earning a growl from the Cullen Clan. I didn't know what they were thinking, these tanned people were large wolves, and the Cullen's... well the Cullen's were the Cullen's.

"That is not possible." he called out again.

"Yeah, just give us the damn girl and leave us alone. She's ours anyway." another yelled. A big burly boy this time, the biggest of all these people. "We signed the papers." he added when everyone in his group turned to look at him oddly.

Just as the giant boy stepped forward, all the wolves moved in a split second.

Around me placed ten wolves all in front. One stood along side me teeth bared and growling. "Move again and we shall snap her neck. Better to take care of the situation then risk it. We will keep the girl until I feel she is of no threat to the people here. When the time is right, or when I say so, we will give you her back." Sam growled again. His body shaking with fury and he posture flaring with anger.

"Sure as hell you will…" the beautiful blond haired girl spat before she was suddenly cut off.

"Rosalie." what man I know as Carlisle from their letter started warningly, "We will agree to your bargain providing she is kept safe and our secrets are untold."

"Dr. Cullen, her safety is of no question, but we make no promises otherwise." turning on his heal, he walked right toward me and lifted me into his arms. Bridal style he carried me away from my family and into the forest as I struggled against his vice grip. Looking down, I was thankful to find my bags were still in tow and as we broke through the dense forest, we approached a small wood house.

Still kicking and struggling the man I knew as Sam sighed annoyed and looked down. "Put me the hell down!" I yelled as he walked more rapidly towards the house. In no way was I interested in entering a house I knew not of what held. I didn't even know these people let alone trusted them enough to invite me in, or force me to go in in this case.

"Fine!" he yelled finally giving up. Dropping me to the ground he pulled me towards the front door of the small cottage and I watched and struggled as the door opened and out stepped a naturally beautiful woman with tanned skin and long flowing raven black hair. Three long scars bared the side of her face but they could not help but be seen past as her beauty and smile over masked the small blemish. Her smile was warm and welcoming and as she looked from me to Sam, the smile seemed to fade.

"Sam?" she asked worriedly before taking a step towards us. Holding up a hand, he jerked me to a stop and warned the woman to come no closer. Telling her of my danger and power. "She's just a mere child, how can you expect to her to do all this?"

"Yeah, you don't even have proof I am who you think I am." I fought as I tried to wrench my arm from his grasp but in turn only forcing him to tighten his grip.

"It's easy. Your smell is unlike any humans, you don't look or sound normal and the Cullen's were here the claim their child they referred to as you. Besides, any normal human can't produce heat such as you can." my head flashed towards him in utter shock, never before has someone noticed the heat I had produced under instinct. Now should be no different. "You see child, you are Blaze Element, and you… are not human. So I insist you show me what you can and can't do, so we can fully see you are of nothing to worry about and return back to the Cullen's."

Fighting with myself, I couldn't decide weather or not these people were serious or they were playing me. I have been fooled before and I wasn't interested on having it happen again. But yet again, he could be telling me the truth and he may let me leave if I show him. Sighing, I came to my decision and wrenched my arm from his grasp. Knowing all too well I would show him, he let go to easily. And my mind counter attacked with itself, convincing me that maybe I could make a run for it. But as I thought harder, my memory flashed and I remembered the fact that these people, or wolves could run much faster then I could.

Turning on the trees, all my mind was focused on my shear and utter anger and forcing my mind to my hand and nowhere else. As if I had programmed it to do so, I wave of warm air swept the heat and as a orange steaming ball forced out of my hand, I watched as it sailed through the air towards the tree and smashed into the wood with such force that it's top snapped with impact. Turning to the next and the next, two trees followed suit and ended with the same fate as the first.

"Now you know what I'm capable of… I can't say it's been fun, but I'm free to go now." I hissed before bolting for the woods. Watching, it was as if he didn't even notice me leaving. I was home free if I could pass through the forest in enough time for me to escape from them. Smiling at the shear giddiness of adrenaline, I couldn't help but stop dead in my tracks when I encountered three of the people that had taken me earlier, from the ladies room.

If I wanted too, I could have easily turned and blasted this mutt into next year, but I vowed to never hurt anyone is possible to avoid. Sighing, I turned when kick a small rock when one of them grabbed my arm and brought me marching back to Sam. "Considering the fact that you were waiting in the ladies room, should I be scared of you or just sit here and laugh?"

"Neither, you will speak to us with respect or not at all you filthy little child." rolling my eyes, I turned to the boy that had hold of my arm.

"Real charmer you got here Sam, where'd you pick him up?"

"That's Paul kid. And he's right."

"Just remember you're the ones who took me from my new family, I have a right to be angry." I countered as he looked from me to the one holding my arm, Paul.

"Alright, so I've seen what you can do… but I'm still not sure I like it. How about this, we start over. You don't give us any trouble. And your time here will fly by. Deal?" leaning down, he stuck out his hand and starred into my eyes sceptically, waiting for my answer.

Taking his hand, I nodded my head warily and couldn't help but think that this would blow up in my face sooner or later. Leading me into the house, I couldn't help but smile as it was everything I pictured my future house would look like. An average size, but inside there was nothing average about it. It reeked the sense of home and welcome. Making you immediately smile as you walked in. "Just do me a favour kid…" he turned on me as I walked in. "...don't burn down the place." he chuckled as my smile faded.

Not that I didn't appreciate his sense of humour, but it was people like him that made me doubt myself. I had taken the vow to provide and protect, refusing to use it against people if it were possible, but it didn't mean I hadn't done so before. Controlling my temper had always been one thing, but learning to control my temper and the heat at the same time was taking self control to a hole new level. Like trying to control the Tasmanian devil while he was on a death rampage… almost impossible.

"I can't make any promises." I hissed quietly. As if he could hear me, Sam visibly cringed and almost shook with annoyance. But he couldn't hear something so low, not even if he were standing right beside me.

"Something smells good Em." Sam said as I could hear the smile in his voice. They were like love struck teenagers as Sam walked into the kitchen and greeted Emily with a kiss on the neck as he wrapped his arms around her torso. If only I had been granted two people that loved me like they loved each other, they would make a good couple.

"Emily, this is Blaze. She's going to be staying with me and the boys for a little while." smiling, Emily turned around and gave me a small wave as she walked forward.

"Hi Blaze, it's so nice to have you here. It'll be so nice having another girl around the house while all the boys are around." Emily smiled warmly as she pulled be back and stared into my eyes. Brown and deep, they seemed to tell a great story behind them. Maybe if I was lucky she's tell me sometime. I could see getting to know her very well. She was everything a mother should be. Warm and kind.

"Speaking of boys. We've got a bonfire tonight, you wouldn't happened to have bring some shorts in that bag of your would you?" Sam asked as I nodded. "Great. Emily, I'm going to finish up patrol, if you want to show Blaze to the guest room, then I'll send Jared over." Emily looked at him sceptically but Sam shook her off as he kissed her goodbye.

"So Blaze, where are you from?" Emily asked as Sam dropped in my bags and she carried one for me. Assending up the stairs, I couldn't help but smile at the story behind the question.

"Oh, you know. Here and there. I was actually on my way to the Cullen's. They just adopted me. For the life of me I don't know why, I've spent fourteen years in different orphanages and this would be the fifth home that's offered to take me in."

"What happened to the others?"

"I was too different. I scared their children. Most of the time they didn't like the stories the other children told them. When they would come in to talk to other orphans, they would tell the parents that I was a witch and cursed because my eyes turned red when I was angry or in danger. After the first week, if I ever felt threatened, they would change and the next thing I knew I was standing outside another orphanage with my bags in tow. I never fully understood what was so scary about me. But I learned to live with it. Growing up as the school witch was lonely, but quiet." Emily had now stopped and was fully facing me, her lips in a thin line and her eyes baring the sadness I had lived with for some many years before.

"Don't feel sad Emily, I learned to live with it. But that's in the past, if the Cullen's don't take me, at least it got me out of my old orphanage." I smiled as Emily continued up the stairs shaking her head as she lead me to a door at the end of the hallway. Opening the door, the room was painted white and dark blue, it was homey and nice, somewhat neglected in use as it felt vacant for a while.

"It's beautiful Emily. Thank you again." I smiled as she left me and closed the door. Laying my things on the ground, I dare not crease the perfect sheet on the bed.

Suddenly, an ear piercing, blood curdling scream echoed through the house and as I ran downstairs towards the kitchen where Emily was, I came face to face with someone who looked like the Cullen's. Equally pale unnaturally beautiful, chilling in ways. His eyes were beat red and his teeth bared, a feral growl growing from his chest. "Where is she? Where is the Desiree Warrior?" it screamed. Sending pounding waves of volume through the house and putting a ring to my ear. "Where is the fire bender?"

Emily cowered in fear as the monster took a step towards her. Desperate to help her. I picked up the nearest object and threw it with mighty force towards him. As the lamp shattered against his head, he simply cracked his head and turned towards me. "I am the fire bender, now cower beneath my wrath!" I called out, attempting to distract him as I nodded for Emily to run for the door. Refusing, she stood her ground and as the monster stalked towards me, he bared his teeth and through the couch from before him.

"You!" he yelled pointing a finger toward me and making a fist before he continued. "I shall rip your heart from your chest and feed it to my children of all the people. You and your kingdom shall come crumbling down under my hand, you… and your parents!" he called out before he lunged through the air and tackled me to the ground crushing me beneath him. But suddenly, as soon as he was on top of me, he was gone. My skin burned at the contact but as I lifted myself from the ground, I could feel the temperature rise.

Running with inhuman speed, he grabbed hold of my neck and raised me from the ground, my feet dangling beneath me. I slowly raised my hands to meet his as I could feel myself growing more and more faint as my surroundings slowly started to fade. Forcing everything I had into my two hands, I turned and opened my eyes, not realizing they were closed, as he groaned in pain, he dropped me to the ground and clutched his wounded hand as I gasped for the air I had been deprived of. Crawling forwards, I reached Emily and pushed her towards the door. Before I could fully get outside, suddenly, my body was thrown backwards and landed on Emily's glass table with a mighty crash. Turning on him, I focussed all my mind on heating my hands and as I watched him stalk forwards, like a gust of wind… suddenly we was flying from the window and towards the street, completely engulfed in fire.

Raising from my stop on the ground. Assuming it was all over, Emily rushed into the house and picked me up from my spot of the ground. My air was coming in short gasps now as my body fell absolutely exhausted. "Emily… I-I'm so s-sorry." I gasped and coughed as everything seemed to fade in and out.

"Oh my god Blaze, I owe you my life!" Emily's body wracked with sobs as I leant on the fire place and tried to calm myself.

Within seconds Sam, Jared, Embry, Jacob and Paul were bounding through the doors. Sam shook as he looked from Emily to the house then to me. White hot fury flashed behind his eyes as me turned on me and grabbed Emily away from the grasp we had on each other completely ignoring her protests. "What did you do? How could you do this?" he howled, referring to the state of his house.

"Intruder…" I gasped and coughed as my hand pointed towards the broken window. "Attack…"

Suddenly everything went back, but not before I heard Emily's protesting call and Sam's violent order.

"Death…"

Sorry guys, this was all I had... let me know if you think I should continue!
