A/n: ok chickies. People are wondering about the whole powers thing, and this chapter should clear somethings up, but not directly... i'm not saying anything else!

BPOV:

I ran toward the cottage. I couldn't do this. I had always told myself I could face Edward if he ever came around again. I'd even hoped that Alice would be back.

I'd been fooling myself. How could I be able to talk to them again? They had hurt me to badly. I felt the water in my system start to well up at my eyes.

No. I wouldn't cry over this. I couldn't. But if I couldn't be sad, how would I end up taking this?

I stormed into my room and threw myself on the bed I had there. With enough reporters coming to call, you had to have the props. I just lay there, stewing for a while. As I lay there, I began to feel enraged. How dare he come strolling back in like he was never gone.

That's when I felt the spark. In the palm of my hand, where it rested against the pillow, I felt a small spark ignite. I just ignored it as my thoughts became more and more furious.

Suddenly, the pillow was on fire.

EPOV:

"She was happy without you! Why in the world would you come back!? Do you enjoy her pain? Get a kick out of it or something?" the girl screamed at us. I still didn't know her name. I just let her yell, knowing I deserved it. I was a fool to think she would forgive me.

"who are you anyway?" Alice asked calmly. She didn't seem to care that this woman was furious with us.

"I'm the one who had to hear her cry, every night, for a decade! I'm the one who stopped her for committing suicide!" she said, glaring at us. "I'm the one who changed her. The name's Michiya."

Alice's face suddenly went blank. A second later, she screamed. I watched in horror as she fell to the ground and started sobbing dryly.

"Did she just have a vision?" Michiya asked, joining me on the floor as I tried to calm Alice down.

"how do you..." I started, not knowing how she knew of Alice's gift.

"Bella told me. Mind-reader." she said, stareing at me.

I just shook my head a little and turned back to Alice. "yes she did, but I can't see what it was. Alice." I directed my voice at my sister now. "What happened Alice? What'd you see?" she just looked at me with tortured eyes and started crying again.

"hang on, let me try something." Michiya said, putting a hand on Alice's shoulder. She closed her eyes and took on a look of deep concentration. I could suddenly see her mind, as if she had opened a door. I watched as she sort of... felt around Alice's mind. This is getting weird.

"It's not weird, just unfimiliar." michiya muttered.

I started to ask her what the hell was going on, when she gasped. I tuned back into her mind and all I saw was fire. I looked at the picture a little closer and saw it was a little house, burning to the ground.

"Aw, Bella. Did it have to be the cottage?" she muttered.

"Bella's there?" I demanded. She just nodded and started rubbing Alice's shoulder, trying to calm her.

"Bella is in a burning house and you're worried about the house?!" I yelled, aghast.

She just shrugged. I snarled at her and ran out the door Bella had. Michiya might have given up, but I would save Bella even if I died in the process.

I hadn't come this far to lose her. I followed her scent and found the house. It was in flames, every part painted in red orange and yellow.

Out of the smoke, I saw Bella calmly leaving the house, as if nothing was happening.

BPOV:

"Oh shit. Michiya's gonna kill me." I muttered as I quickly got up. Before my eyes, I saw the fire spread at an alarming rate. In seconds, I was surrounded by it.

I calmed myself and tried to remember what Eliazar taught me when we had met. I let the fire swirl on my hand for a moment, letting it get familiar with me. Then, ever so slowly, I put my hand on the door and pushed. I quickly walked out side, letting the smoke cloud my eyes.

Edward was waiting for me.

"Bella, what the hell?!" he yelled. "why the hell are you so calm? You were just trapp-" I glared at him and his voice cut off. His mouth was still moving, but no words came out. He looked at me then, terrified.

I slowly filled my lungs, then blew it all at him. He went flying backwards and slammed against a tree.

He gaped at me, eyes wide. He had no idea what was going on. Before he could run, I jerked my chin up toward the tree I had slammed him into. Thick, heavy vines flew down from the tree and hovered there, waiting for command. I nodded at Edward and the vines flew toward him. Wrapping around his waist with his hands pinned to his sides, they tighten as much as they could without breaking.

Edward stared at his trapped body, then up at me. He was scared of what was happening, but he wasn't scared of me. Yet. I smirked, watching him struggle.

"You can't get out." I said. He hissed in frustration, still trying to pull away from the tree.

Sighing, I twirled my finger and more vines wrapped around his shoulders. I walked toward him, feeling the fire tingle in me again. It knew I wanted revenge, and it wanted out. For once, I was going to let it out.

I put my hands in front of me, about half an inch apart. Slowly, the ball of fire I made grew larger. Edward stared at me, looking absolutely terrified. Once I had about a basketball-sized orb of flames, I sent it to hover over Edward's head.

"You are the most despicable creature I know." I spat at him. "I could easily kill you, right now, without even thinking about it."

"Bella... Please..." Edward whispered. He was begging with me. Uselessly.

I shook my head slowly. "I'm not going to kill you. It would be too quick." He relaxed into the tree a bit more. "But i'm not going to just let you go." he tensed again. "Bella...." he said warily.

I growled at him. He growled back fiercely, starting to struggle more violently. He was giving into his instincts, not realizing what he was doing anymore.

I grabbed his hair and yanked his head to the side. He hissed at me. I hissed back.

"this is for leaving." I sank my teeth into his arm and ripped it off. He screamed. I tossed his arm to the ground and went for his other one. "And this is for coming back." I sank my teeth into his shoulder, waiting for a second for the venom to spread. Then I tore it off too and spat it out of my mouth. He yelled out again, writhing as the venom ran through his system.

I looked over him one more time, then ran.

EPOV:

I watched bella run away, and I knew I was lucky. She could have killed me, very simply.

"Edward!" I heard Alice yell. I just collapsed against the tree and tried to ignore the pain.

"Edward?! What happened? where's Bella?" She asked as she ran into the clearing.

Michiya walked up behind her. "She ran off Alice. She did that to him." She sounded more grateful than anything. She seem happy Bella had gotten her revenge, if that was even what this was.

Alice helped me get my arms on right, then forced me to go home with her. She knew that if she left me alone, I would run out of their lives again.

This had been pointless. Bella hated me and would never forgive me.

A/n: Okay... everyone okay? If you can guess what Bella and Michiya's powers are, you get a sneak peek at the next chapter. I'm already working on it.

Luvs ya lots,
