Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer is one of the luckiest women alive, she owns Jacob, Edward and the rest of Twilight Saga, I can only wish I was so lucky. I own my imagination though and play with her characters.
So there you go. I'm updating at last. I know that no amount of I'm sorry's will do so I'm just going to give you another chapter. Read and review, give me some love.
"Hello Bella." two sisters said in the unison, the same ones who glared at me earlier. Something was seriously wrong here. I began to believe that someone won't walk away alive from Volterra. Why did I think it would be me?
"Ok, do what you want to do. Just spare my family when they arrive," I decided to be completely honest with them.
"What? No Bella, you've misunderstood us but it had to be done," one of them chuckled and they exchanged conspiratory looks between each other, "after all you cannot trust the Volturi. We had to put up a good show for them."
"We are good actresses, we have to be. Actually we are here to help you. Help to be rid of Volturi once and for all. Rhian and Gili are keeping them occupied in the throne room, they will not disturb us, but we have to hurry none the less, there is no need to push it none the less," one of the girls spoke. I was gaping like a fish out of water now. I could not believe my own ears. If I could cry I would have.
"Oh how rude of me. My name is Lilith and this is my other sister Riella. To put you at ease we too posses a sort of a shield just like you have, so Aro has got no clue of our plan whatsoever."
"Ok. So what is your plan?" I managed to find my voice again.
"For a starter we all have powers. Aro only thinks that we are blinding Alice's visions because we are hybrids but that is not all. Rhian and Gili can both manipulate people's thoughts, so no Vampire will think of you for the next ten minutes or so. Their power is very subtle therefore undetectable. Also we can communicate with each other in our minds," she begun, "Riella's power is to make you forget whatever you want, or whatever she wants. To sum it up she can wipe your memory out clean if you happen to be on her bad side."
"That will come in handy when the fight starts. But my power is to enhance and help to develop hidden powers and I can sense that your shield has got hidden potential. If you lift it up when I take your hand I will show you what I can do for you."
I looked at them with scepticism in my eyes.
"Please, you can trust us, after all you would be vampire with permanent amnesia and running Volturi's bloody errands by now if we were meant you any harm," this time Riella spoke. She was the quiet one. I could tell.
"Ok, I don't have a choice anyway," with a sigh I closed my eyes and took Lilith's hand and concentrated on lifting my shield up. The sensation of the current flowing through my body was something other entirely. It wasn't at all unpleasant; it felt like peculiar warmth spreading through my limbs. After about two minutes she let go of my hand.
"That was even better than I expected," Lilith mused, "can you feel the difference?"
And I could. My shield had another layer, not one but few, independent to the first one.
I could will a little bubble of an invisible force field detaching from my mind and immediately I knew what I could do with it. I decided to test it on something rather quiet. Pillow was my guinea pig.
I could feel the bubble entering the pillow and with a single thought it exploded. I also created a minor shock wave with it. Then I encased yet another pillow with a bubble. I didn't need to ask, Lilith reached for it but could not touch the pillow. Wow I had a physical shield after all too.
"That is awesome. You just gave me hope to defend my family. Does Aro know of your powers?" I asked them.
"No, he is not able to read us, I wouldn't let him. I'm not that stupid. Here," she handed me
a small black cell phone.
"What is that for?" I asked her.
"Well duh, to call your family. I cannot lift the shield and besides Alice will not see us anyway. That's the beauty of being a halfbreed. Call Alice and tell her that you are alive, well and to be here tomorrow at midnight. And there better be a lot of them. New power or not, Volturi have been preparing too you know. You have one minute. Make it quiet and make it quick," Lilith whispered the last part.
I quickly snatched the little device and called my favourite sister. She answered on the fourth ring.
"What took you so long?" I faked the annoyance.
"Bella?" Alice chirped.
"Yes, it's me," and I explained everything to her with a double warp speed. After forty five seconds I snapped the phone shut.
"Are they coming?" Lilith asked.
"Yes, and the pack all twenty two of them, except Jared and Quil. They also have Denalis, Amazons and some of the nomads with them so far," I answered her.
"That's good, very good," and the sisters left my room without another glance at my direction, their masks on their faces.
I fell on my bed. Though I wasn't physically tired but I was strangely worn out. It must have been my new power. For the first time since my kidnapping I saw a light in the tunnel. Maybe I could save my family after all. Even though the future looked a lot brighter now I still had
a lot to worry about. The impending doom and my thirst.
I reached to my well stocked fridge and poured myself an AB+. I finished my drink in
a matter of seconds. How on Earth I will fight the blood lust now if I come out of here alive?
I guessed that Jasper wouldn't be the weakest link any more. I poured myself another glass as I contemplated that.
A/N Hey guys. I'm sorry for the shortie but this story seems to talk to me like that. So what do you think? Tell me.
