I drove to a small lake outside of town and parked. There was a dock and i handed Bella a blanket. We went to the ledge and as the soon went down the stars came out. We sat there for about half an hour when the Northern lights finally took form and grew larger. Bella stared in awe and i watched the expression on her face for a moment before turning back to gaze upwards.

"Were the Nothern Light's created by nature or was it you guys?" i didn't comment on how she said 'you guys', technically, she was a part of this, 'you guys' thing.

"What do you think?" i asked curiously, wondering what her intuition would tell her. "How does it feel you? Does it feel like the Volcano or does it feel like the desert in Phoenix?"

She contemplated for a moment, frowning more and more as the seconds flipped by. "I dont know, if i didn't know any better i'd say it was singing," she said, blushing a little, but not changing her comment.

"It is singing," i said, opting not to tease her, she seemed hesitant enough.

"No way," she said in disbelief, wide eyed, not taking her eyes off of the swiling hues of green and purple. "Is it really?" I nodded, she seemed pretty good at following her intuition, which was a bonus, the psychic work was almost always the hardest thing to do. Most people didn't trust their intuition. This would speed everything up.

"But if it was created by your world somehow, then how come scientists proved it was natural?" she asked, perplexed.

"Scientists can chalk anything up to nature, and sometimes it can be explained that way. But the truth is, there was a war here," i said, remembering the story Kade had told me when i was younger. Kade had been the one to teach me almost everything i knew, it sucked now that he was trying to kill me, or hurt me, either way, it sucked.

"How could a war cause something so beautiful?" she asked, looking unsure of whether or not she wanted to know the answer. I didn't respond right away, just stared up, searching for the faces of everyone who'd fought.

"It was at the beginning of time, when man was first created. The war was about power, before the supernatural came together, everyone was killing everyone. We all wanted to be at the top of the food chain. Some of us fought harder then others. Sometimes, people created their own armies, of different species, usually ruled by one or two people with a vision in mind. Believe it or not, there used to be about three times more creatures then that there are now. They could walk about freely in front of the humans, many of them died, almost all of them.

There was a little girl, name Elizabeth, she was thirteen years old. Her mother had died at the beginning of the war, as a message to back off. Her father was a respected vampire, but his daughter had been born human, much to his relief. He didn't want her soul to be damned just because his was tainted. When the final battle neared, Karose, the vampire, sent his daughter to a healer, and Elizabeth cried and begged her father to stay, not to go, that he would die. But he ignored her pleas, as he had when she told him no one would win the war and just to walk away. Karose had been unaware of what his daughter had planned, she hated the war, it took away all of her family, her friends, destroyed the world around. She believed everyone should be able to live in peace, that we were all gods children and that we were all family, one way or another.

The details are sketchy, but Elizabeth prayed, pleading with everyone and everything, every night to anyone who would listen since the war had first begun. No one knew what she had seen, just days before. No one knows, just what the little girl had encountered, but it's believed that she saw an angel. That the angel went to her in one of her dreams, having heard her prayer every night, and making sure her heart was true and pure, he told her only one more human death would be neccessary to stop the war. That if she truly loved every creature created, that he would grant her a single wish, if she would join them. She agreed.

When the battle began, Elizabeth put a special herb into the healers tea, to put her to sleep. She followed her father and his army, staying behind just far enough that they wouldn't see or hear her. She was scared, she wasn't sure how to save her world, she just knew it was what she to do, that no one else could. When she arrived the battle had already begun. She watched men died, she watched people she knew as neighbours perish right in front of her eyes. Until she couldn't stand it, she walked to the centre of the field, looking up at the clear star filled night.

She began to sing, she sang in a language no one understood, but it was enough. It was clear, and beautiful, and pure, despite the carnage around her. Everyone stopped fighting around her, just listening to her sing, hypnotized by the girls voice. Then she began to glow. But as the song started to end, all of the warriors around her collapsed, and began to turned to dust. Her father stood before her, watching his baby girl in horror, as she slowly turned to golden dust before him.

When the song ended, there was nothing left but Karose. He fell to his knees, staring up at the newly created souls balancing in the air. A reminder for the world of what they had done to themselves, trapped in that space forever. Karose stayed like that for days, screaming at the sky to give them his daughter back. But he got no answer, he got no solace, no peace. It was his final punishment, he would spend eternity on the earth he condemned, the earth his only child had sarcificed himself for, because he wouldn't hear her."

Bella had been quiet during the story, wordlessly up at the sky, visualizing my words. Her voice was quiet, saddened, "That little girl was Lilith, wasn't it?"

I gave her a small smile, nodding. "What do you know about Lilith?"

"Lucifer fell because he and his followers wouldn't bow down to humans. When he was forced out of heaven, forced to fall, he took one of God's purest humans, and he twisted her soul so badly that she became the first demon. That's what got him locked up in hell."

"You've done your homework," i commented dryly. Bella just looked kind of defeated now. I decided to cheer her up a bit. "Despite how depressing the origin of the northern lights is, we can still have some fun with it." She gave me a curious stare.

"Take my hand," i said, holding my hand out. She gave me a curious look, before taking my hand. We lifted up into the sky and she out stretched her hand as we glided among the Northern lights.

We had some hot chocolate and i formed ice under her shoes and froze the lake over more thoroughly. I breathed out, expanded the air from my breath and turning it into a huge wave of wind and the snow blew off of it. "Have you ever skated before?" i asked curiously, doing the same to my own.

"No," she said truthfully. But grinned when i hopped down.

"Me neither," i said almost falling face first into the hard wooden ledge. She snickered a little, "alright then smart ass, let's see how much you are at this then me."

"Alright," she jumped down, falling flat on her ass and i started laughed. I lost my focus, and i fell on my side, swearing heatedly. She smirked. She stood back up, using an invisible support.

"Hey, that's cheating," i shot at her, scowling.

"Yeah, so?" i grinned.

When we finished skating, both us covered in bruises, mostly because we'd made a game of tripping each other. I suppose i should've been worried about her splitting her skull open, but she was having too much fun for me to rain down on it about safety. Besides, since when have we done anything in the last week been deemed safe?

I created a huge fire off the side of the dock, grabbing the air mattress and whatever else to keep us warm and set it down next to the fire. We sat quietly, neither of us talking. Bella was reading a Wuthering Heights book, and i was debating where we could go next. I was thinking either to Phoenix, where i had business to take care of, or up to Canada, Vancouver. I figured she'd like to see the Gypsy caves. It was always pretty amazing in there, especially in the spring.

Bella eventually ended up falling asleep on me, it wasn't long before i drifted off as well.

The sound of a car slowing woke me up, i lifted my head and nudged Bella. She mumbled and then when i poked her in the ribs she glared at me. I nodded in the direction of the car and she stood. "Bella thank god your okay," Edward said rushing towards us. I stood in his path and glared. These guys were on my last nerves. "Come with me, you dont need to be afraid of her."

Bella laughed incredulously, as if it were an inside joke, "she's my sister Edward, she'd never hurt me."

I turned and began packing things up, figuring she could handle the situation on her own. "She's dangerous Bella. She's killed people, you must see past her lies." I raised my eyebrows, more visits from Kade i assume. I glanced at Bella's irritated expression, she was starting to get a temper, i couldn't be sure if it was because the Cullen's kept harassing us or because of something else.

"Dont be such a hypocrite," Bella said scowling at him. Edward just gave her a dark look, "i'm not giving you a choice Bella, you'll be safe with us. This is for your own good, I promise."

I took Bella's hand, not liking the sudden overly possessive tone of voice he was getting. I began leading her back to the car, though the snow was kind of a pain. He stepped in front of me and gave me a sort of sinister look. I didn't like that much either.

"Your going to regret forcing her away from her family," he said coldly, a sort of smirk on his face now.

"Your going to regret pissing me off," i said, eyes narrowed at his threat.

"Let go of her," i detected an unspoke threat and snapped. I was done playing nice.

"Certainly," i dropped her hand, raising my fist and hitting him hard.
