"I will ask you one more time! What do you want with Bella?"
I was angry now, he started to chuckle. I grew more and more impatient as he didn't answer. I there him down the stairs and pursued.
"The powers of course, if the prophecies are correct imagine what could be done with that kind of power?"
How could he even think of stealing the power, which was not his to have. I did not want others of his kind to find out that he was unsuccessful or didn't succeed so something needed to be done.
Without Bella knowing, I grabbed the man and ran to the woods.

"Bella, Bella…Can you hear me? You're at my house."
I opened my eyes, only to find a topaz pair of eyes looking right back.
And Now…
I couldn't think I just lay there staring into Edwards eyes.
Wait eyes? Didn't he mention something about my eyes when we were at my house?
Suddenly all of the memories started coming back to me, being paralyzed and not being able to move, the pain in my head raging on and my eyes, what about my eyes?...Wait what happened to the intruder?
A cough disrupted mine and Edwards moment and I looked round to see altogether seven vampires all stood looking at me.
I couldn't move frozen with all the memories, then the cullens reminded me of Charlie and his stories, it was all to much, I tried to bolt for the door but I couldn't move.
Edward saw what I was trying to do and held my hand.
"Bella" I looked at him "your really weak, you need to rest"
This was when a man, tall, blonde and gorgeous walked over to my bed, "Hello Bella, I'm Carlisle."
"Err, nice to meet you Carlisle."
"Don't worry you are in good company here, I am a doctor and from what Edward has told us, it seems you have been temporarily weakened and some more sleep is needed before you are back up and walking again."
"How long?" Edward squeezed my hand
Carlisle seemed to look away and look back, "It could be from 2day to a week, I am not yet sure how your body operates because of your…gift, so I am merely guessing, but the sooner you rest, the sooner you will be back up and running."
A WEEK! What? How? Why me? I didn't feel weak.
I couldn't believe I was being told this, I didn't realize I was crying until Edward wiped a tear from my cheek.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice walk to Jasper, he looked pained, I gave him a concerned look and he continued to stare at me, I was curious and soon his expression smoothed out and he mouthed a simple 'thank you' to me.
But what did I do?
Edward saw my concerned look and looked between me and Jasper.
"Jasper, he feels emotions, you were feeling pain, sorrow, loss and then you were curious which overcame all of your other emotions and so Jasper was able to relax."
"Oh, you're welcome Jasper." He nodded and with that the rest of his family made their way out of the room, probably to give me and Edward some time.
Edward, he saved me, I looked at him and he was already looking at me, this made me smile, he had nothing but love in his eyes but also fear.
"What are you thinking?" He cocked his head to the side.
"About you, about if I will ever be able to move again, I don't even know what happened…" I trailed off thinking back.
I went into a hypnotic state as I stared in Edward's eyes and looked back. I remember my head hurting, hurting sooo much, then Edward trying to free me from the intruder, then I fell into nothingness.
"…ella, Bella, Bella! CARLISLE! Something's wrong, she won't move."
"Edward her eyes, they're bright crimson red! Bella? Bella can you hear me it is Carlisle?"
I could hear them but I did not want to move, even if I wanted to I couldn't I was paralyzed.
I began to have flashbacks of the previous night, the footsteps coming up the stairs but I wasn't seeing these event's from my own eyes or the intruder or Edward, I was looking on the scene from different points of view as if it was a film. Fear rippled through me, I did not want to relive this experience not now nor ever.
I tried to speak, shout, anything but I couldn't hear my own voice only those around me.
"Carlisle what's happening, she looks so scared, maybe Jasper coul…"
"No Edward, I don't even think Jasper could calm her, she's in some kind of trance, maybe it is a way of protecting herself, I will stay with you and her until she comes back."
"But Carlisle…what if she doesn't? I can't lose her!"
I wanted to tell him that everything was going to be alright and that I would come back but I couldn't talk. I think I was shuddering I'm not sure, I was so scared reliving a nightmare, I could see Edward throwing the man down the stairs and saying something…
"The 18th Birthday of Girl,
The Girl with the power,
The power of all,
Those who cross this girl…will fall."
…no it can't be. Charlie told that poem to me many times, "You're a very special girl Bella, never forget that."
It can't be me? I was the girl, the girl with the power, but what was I supposed to do?
A voice came into my head making me jump,
"Isabella Marie Swan, here today on your 18th Birthday, you are given the powers that have been passed down to you."
"W-w-what powers?" I answered with my mind hoping to get a response
"The powers of your ancestors, like your mother before you, she also had these powers and so used them for good."
"But who are you and why are you telling me this now?"
"I am the voice, I speak to all, hear all and sense all that was, is and shall be. You have come of age to when these powers be passed down to you."
"But why me?"
"Your father has told you the stories, that in turn led you to the Cullens, they are here to help you, they may not know it but they need you as well. You will learn to control your powers over time and will be taught along the way."
"But, what about Edward?"
"He will stay with you for Eternity, I have seen it child."
"Eternity? But I will die in 80years."
"Isabella, the name for what you are about to become is a Witch, you will have heard the stories but none of them are true, your form will stay as you are apart from whenever you use your powers your eyes take the colour crimson red, you will not age and then I will leave you to figure out your powers, do well with your future, use your powers for good only, I will check in on you in time, until then good luck."
And with that I awoke.
Gasping for air.
