Disclaimer- I didn't write Twilight/ New Moon, those were written by the wonderful Stephenie Meyer. But I do own the character Sage.

Chapter 2- Changes

Bella's POV

Out of all Carlisle's book, two had something similar to what was going on with Sage. I sat on the floor, books were all around me, those two were right in front of my face. I kept looking back and forth, back and forth. All it said was that it was possible for a vampire to change when given "the dream." What the hell was " the dream" ? I mean, we don't sleep, therefore we can't dream. I threw my head down and let out a sigh, nothing helped. Nothing at all. I felt a hand on my back, and a soft voice in my hear. " Exactly what was wrong with her?" Carlisle asked me. I picked my head up and looked at him.

" She was just different. She snapped at me, told me not to tell you guys I saw her because your guys' minds could be read and she couldn't deal with anything happening to you." I told him.

" It has to be Jasmine."

" What could Jasmine do to scare Sage?" Carlisle looked down at the book and trailed the words with his fingers. " Carlisle?"

" She could do it, but how?" He muttered to himself. I was lost.

" Umm. . Carlisle. . What are you talking about?"

" The dream is like a strong vision. Jasmine would have had to put something everywhere Sage is. In her bedroom, in her blood. It's like a poison and when taken in, it makes the person see their worst fear; as if it was happening right in front of them."

" And Jasmine has the power to do that?"

" Jasmine has the power to scare someone into giving her the ingredients and spell."

" Spell?"

" Yes. . Not the kind Sage uses, this is black magic." I rose my eyebrow questioningly. Magic?

" What? You can believe in vampires and werewolves but magic is far fetched?" Edward joked. I looked up and saw him standing in the doorway. I quickly stood up and ran next to him, he wrapped me in his arms. I inhaled deeply, trying to make sense of everything going on around me. Finally, I knew what I had to do. I had to call Aro. He would know something, anything. I broke the hug and kissed Edward gently.

" Can I use your phone?" I asked him.

" For what?" He dug it out of his pocket and held it above my head, teasing me.

" For a call."

" To who?"

" Aro." I whispered.

" What?" The phone instantly dropped and his eyes grew hard. I rolled mine and grabbed the phone from his hands, he looked down in shock; then looked back up at me. I stuck out my tongue and he reached towards me. I squealed as he started to tickle me, this was wonderful. He could act like he wanted to now, he didn't have to hold back because of a small thing like my mortality; and blood. He picked me up and swung me over his shoulder.

" Edward let me down!" I cried.

" Why are you calling him?"

" To see if he can help us help Sage!" He lowered me slowly, then nodded his head.

" Fine, but don't get too close to him."

" No, I actually thought we'd get together this weekend. Suck on some humans together." I joked. I dialed his number, I'd found it in Carlisle's phone one day, and waited for him to pick up. He finally did, his voice soft on the other side.

" Hello?" He said.

" Aro? It's Bella."

" Bella? What can I do for you?"

" What's wrong with Sage?" I decided bluntness was the best way to go.

" Excuse me?"

" I said, what's wrong with Sage Aro? I know you have to know." He sighed, I could practically see him rubbing the bridge of his nose forcefully.

" When did you see her?" He questioned me.

" This morning. She was-"

" Different. Yes, we've noticed it too. I can't imagine what it would be though."

" Well, I was thinking Jasmine somehow got a hold of the Dream. Could she have?" He paused, letting my words sink in.

" It's possible yes."

" Then. I need to go over there." Edward immediately came towards me, ready to grab the phone. I ducked down and held it close to my ear. " I mean, no one's powers affect me, it's possible this won't either."

" Fine. I'll send the plane." He hung up. I quickly hung up the phone and looked up. Edward was furious. He grabbed his phone and ran upstairs, obviously we weren't going to talk about it right now.

I knocked on his door timidly, opening it slightly. He was sitting on his bed, throwing a basket ball up and down. I watched it for a second, up and down, up and down. " Bella. I know you're there." He sighed and sat up, looking at me. I opened the door all the way and walked inside. I stopped at his bed and gave him a puppy dog look, he smirked and pulled me close to him, sitting me on his lap. He leaned his head against me and let out a groan. " Bella. Why must you do things like this. You are trying to kill me aren't you?" I stroked his hair with my fingers and shook my head.

" Of course not, but I could help Sage. You know how much she's helped us." He looked back up and nodded his head in agreement.

" I know, she's like my sister, I love her. But I love you too and I can't lose you to some visions."

" I'll be fine."

" How are you certain?"

" I have faith, and you. Come with me. You'll just have to stay out of her bedroom."

" I was planning on coming along anyways."

" Well then it's settled! Better packed." He motioned to the side of his bags, he already was. I let out a laugh and leaned my head down, kissing his forehead like he did to me so many times. " You never cease to amaze me." I whispered. He moved his head up and caught my lips with his. Our kiss grew deep and passionate when suddenly a knock interrupted us. We both sprang up and looked towards the door way. It was Esme.

" Bella. You have a visitor." I looked at her in confusion. " It's Sage. She'll only talk to you Bella." She whispered. I stood up and walked downstairs with Edward; hand in hand. I saw Sage pacing back and forth in the living room, Carlisle was begging her to talk to him. Her head shot up and she smiled weakly when she saw me. I smiled faintly back, she looked so different from this morning. Her glow was gone, she looked almost see through. Like she was a ghost; an apparition. She rushed towards me and enveloped me in a strong hug.

" Only you," She whispered. " I can only talk to you." I nodded my head and led her outside.

" Sage, what's wrong?" I asked her. She turned to me, her dark green eyes were filled with sorrow.

" So much pain, so much hurt." She started to pace again. It made me think of something suddenly. I knew what that "Dream" did, it made whoever it was aimed at crazy, like a mental patient. My mind flashed to Alice quickly, but I pushed that back.

" Oh Sage." She looked up to the sky and screamed at the top of her lungs. I covered my ears, it was too much for me even as a vampire.

" She's going to kill everyone I love. Aro, Edward, Carlisle, you, everyone. Everyone."

" Sage, we're all fine."

" Fine for now."

" Sage, tell me what you've seen."

" So much pain, so much hurt." I needed to get that crap out of her system, because this wasn't Sage. . .
