I do not own twilight or the characters


Chapter 4- powers

Alice's POV

I could easily sense the anxiety of the car ride there. Nobody spoke except Jasper a few times asking if I was alright. I hated thinking about Bella being hurt. The closest thing I had to a father was Carlisle, and I couldn't even imagine losing him. Jasper lightly massaged his strong fingers across my shoulder blades and tried to calm us even more. I knew that he was making us all feel more at ease. All of us, except Edward of course. Edward grabbed the silver phone and dialed Carlisle's phone number. I could see Bella screaming in our newly-built basement. I blocked out the thought and tried to concentrate on Jasper's soothing fingers.

The car came to a harsh stop. I knew that we had arrived. The house was even more beautiful than in my vision. Edward was inside before I even undid my seatbelt. I knew this was going to be a very, very rough three days.

Edwards POV

I ran up as fast as I could and launched myself down the stairs to the basement.

There she was. Carlisle had strapped her arms to a comfortable chair but her agonizing pain seemed to carve a hole in my dead heart.

I love you, son. I know you can handle this. Just remember, when this is all over, you will have eternity for the two of you.

Carlisle's soothing thoughts calmed me for a moment and I flashed him a worried smile. He quietly walked up the stairs and closed the door behind him. I knew this would be a start to a three-day-long hell.

She screamed every second. Sometimes I could make out sentences like "Edward! Put out the fire!" or "The fire is everywhere!" and all I could do was hold her throbbing hand and kiss her hand and forehead. Other than that I was completely helpless, and that tore me up inside.

I wished I could be the one enduring this pain; I would go through the fire streaming through my body as it had eighty-nine years ago. That memory never seemed to go away.

Jasper's POV

I tried as hard as I could to spread some kind of good feeling down there, but nothing seemed to work. It was so hard to see Edward like this. I couldn't remember what my transformation was like. Except for the fire, that memory never goes away.

Rosalie's POV

I tossed and turned on the couch. The harsh shrieking of Bella's transformation tore me up. This is why I couldn't bare to see her change. How I wished I was still human. How could she actually want to be damned to this life? I would do anything to have mortality. But somehow, deep inside, I was happy about living with her.

Emmett kissed my neck as he attempted to make me feel better.

This only made me furious. I pushed him away a started towards the door. Sometimes I didn't understand why he didn't understand my frustration.

"I'm going hunting." I said with a harsh glare shooting his way.

"Okay babe, I'll come with you." He said trying to be comforting.

"Urgh, whatever. I need to get away from, THAT." I said as I glanced at the basement door.

"Okay, cool. I'd like to see if there's anything decent hunting out here anyways. Maybe we'll scope out a good hunting spots for Bella when she finishes." Yeah. Like that's what I want to think about.

Just before I shut the door, another scream chilled my bones. The déja vu of my transformation replayed in my head. I shuddered remembering the flames running through my veins. That memory never seems to go away.

Carlisle's POV

I sat down at my new desk flipping through the pages of one of my old encyclopedias. I hoped that Edward was doing alright.

I heard a faint knock at the door that I knew was my beloved Esme's.

"Come in, my love." I said as she opened the door. She walked up and kissed me lightly, I hoped that Edward's love for Bella would be as passionate as mine and Esme's.

"I'm worried about Edward. He's not taking this well. Bella still has twenty-four hours left. I feel so helpless." The motherly worried look in her eyes inspired me in every way.

"Don't worry darling. He'll get through it. I've done this many times. You remember what it was like. The fire, I mean. That never really goes away."

"You're right. I love you." She whispered as she kissed me on the top of my head.

Esme's POV

I kissed Carlisle goodbye as I headed for the door. There had to be something I could clean.

"I'm going to keep busy." I said as I reached for the door handle. Carlisle was my true love, I knew that. I also knew that Bella was my Edward's true love. I waited on the moment when she was finished this nightmare.

Carlisle always knew what to say. And he was right I did remember briefly my transformation, nobody really forgets.

Alice's POV

I opened my eyes as I saw Bella's transformation ending. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs to Carlisle's office and burst through the door without knocking.

I couldn't believe what I had seen. It was incredible. The irony of my vision was sure to surprise Carlisle.

"Alice, what's wrong? What did you see?" he said like he thought something was wrong.

"Absolutely nothing is wrong." I said quickly. I couldn't spit out the news fast enough. "You're never going to believe this, but Bella has a power. Just like me and Edward and Jasper. But it's much, much different." I don't even think I would fully understand it.

"Well what is it Alice?"

"Her power is-" I was cut off by Edward storming through the door. He had obviously heard my thoughts.
