AN: YAY! I finally didn't procrastinate for a million years on getting this typed up and sent to you! Now as I promised, a little recap for some important parts you missed:

The story so Far...

Jaqline was still skeptical about getting help from the Summer King, therefore, Cadeyrn told her and Bella about the former Winter Queen, Donia.

Meanwhile, Edward was busy interrogating Michael about his being with Jaqline. Just then, Alice had a vision of something happening. A few seconds afterward, they heard someone break into Renesmee's room so Edward went to investigate, only to be impaled by Perenelle, and blacked out.


Chapter Six-An Audience

"So what brings you here?" Kenan asked.

"I've come to ask for your help," Jaqline answered. "Queen Perenelle has asked to take my sister's life without reason."

"Let me see," Kenan looked at Bella. After a few minutes, he smiled, "I can see why she afraid of her. I'd be afraid too if a guardian showed up out of nowhere.

"A guardian?" Jaqline gasped.

"What's a guardian?" Bella asked

"A guardian is a being, human or otherwise, that has the ability to correct any wrong doing."

"Of course, you need to realize your true potential on your own." Kenan added.

"What about the test?" Cadeyrn asked

"NO!" Jaqline shouted. "That's too risky!"

Kenan chuckled. "If one thing hasn't changed in all these years, it's the winter Girl's knack for trying to talk others out of things." He said.

"You know what would happen if she were to fail!"

"What would happen?" Bella asked.

"You would take Jaqline's place as Winter Girl." Cadeyrn answered, "There can only be one Winter Girl."

"I can't put that burden on you." Jaqline said.

"I want to." Bella said, "I want to help you. That's why I agreed to come with you."

There was a long silence after that. Finally, Jaqline sighed. "Where's the staff?" She asked, looking at Kenan.

"Right here." A woman standing next to him answered. She handed Jaqline the staff.

Once she had a firm grip on the staff and fully contained its powers, she looked at Bella. "I need you to hold onto the staff with your right hand."

Bella did as she was told, and Jaqline began. "Isabella Cullen," She said, "You've come to awaken your true powers?"

"I have," Bella answered.

"You understand the risks you're taking?"

"I do."

" And you realize that, despite what happens when I let go, I will no longer be the Winter Girl?"

"I do."

"Yet you're still willingly holding the staff."

"I am."

"Very well then." Jaqline slowly removed her hand along with her hold on the staff's power.

The entire time Bella had squeezed her eyes shut, expecting something to happen. She finally opened her eyes when she heard a surprised voice say, "It worked!"

She saw Jaqline, but this time she looked different. He hair had regained its coppery shine. Her eyes had turned back to their emerald green. She now had color rushing back into her face along with the scent of cotton blooms.

Cadeyrn, who had by then turned into his human form and had put on clothes smiled. "And you thought it wouldn't work." He said.

Jaqline smiled back and sighed. "How could I ever have doubted you?"

Suddenly, everything went dark and cold as a figure in red and black grabbed Jaqline. "Sorry to interrupt the party," She said, "but my client is rather impatient." Then, just as fast as the woman appeared, they vanished.
