YAY! Update!
Chp. 9: Power
EPOV
Damn. He was coming. The vampire that was after my wife was taking considerable effort in the chase. It had to be about something other than her not wanting to join his coven. Or maybe he was that territorial. Regardless he would be here in a week. He was traveling in a coven of three. One female and one other male.
Jasper would have to lay out a battle strategy. We would have to work on our fighting skills. It had been long time since any of us had fought anyone. Alice's vision played out in my were coming during a thunderstorm. We were originally planning to play baseball. We had been playing in the field when they arrived.
Something was wrong though. She couldn't see the outcome of the vision. What was happening? What was still undecided? They couldn't know about Alice. Even if they did know Alice some how they wouldn't know about her visions. She hadn't told anybody but close family friends about her visions.
Emmett would be happy for a fight. Rosalie was probably pissed.
Carlisle had been expecting them to come. He was waiting for it. I had known that. Why hadn't I run away with Bella? Then again it was better that we were all together, so that we could end this. I should have taken my phone when we were hunting. Alice had reprimanded me about that before. Why hadn't I listened. We wouldn't have wasted precious planning time.
I was swayed out of my panicked thoughts by Bella's hand.
"Hello?" she questioned waving her hand in front of my face. I blinked.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Edward, we've been trying to get your attention for the past 3 minutes," Alice said with her hands on her hips. She was more annoyed than worried.
Bella on the other hand was looking at me with concern. I hadn't ever really shown my panic to her when we were human so it was probable that she assumed that I didn't panic too often. The rest of the family was looking at me peculiarly as well. I hadn't even noticed that they had come outside. I was normally not very emotional. Jasper was especially surprised by the waves of emotion, the strongest emotions that he had ever felt from me.
Bella looked into my eyes conveying a silent, Are you okay?
I nodded at her and she relaxed slightly. Her being relaxed made me relax as well. This didn't go unnoticed by my family, but they didn't ask.
She really is good for him. Maybe he'll stop being such a grumpy prude all the time. Rosalie. I gave her a hard look. Or not.
Damn, man. I didn't know you could be this pleasant. Emmett, of course.
Alice was flitting through the future at a mile per minute, trying to pin point the exact date of James's arrival. There was a major thunderstorm due some time at the end of next week. It was likely that he was coming then. I held onto Bella tighter as Alice finally pinned down the more solid possibilities.
"He'll be here on Friday. We were going to play ball and he shows up. He has two others with him, a male and female. Then something happens and we all disappear. Even James and his coven," Alice informed us. Jasper turned the information around in his head, trying to come up with a suitable strategy.
Why had we disappeared? Did something go wrong? Would Bella be okay? Alice hadn't ever lost visions of all of us before.
"Umm... I may," Bella said, warily, "have completely forgot to mention something before."
All eyes turned to her.
"Vampires don't forget anything. What are you hiding?" Rosalie growled the accusation at her maliciously. I growled at her in return taking a half step in front of Bella.
"No, she's right. I am hiding something. Only because it's not something that I like sharing."
"Well?" Rosalie rudely questioned of my wife.
"I have a power that don't necessarily always have control of. But, when I do it's beneficial in a fight."
"What is it?" Jasper asked. She shifted uncomfortably.
Suddenly I could hear her thoughts and I gasped in surprise. She turned to me, puzzled. She had no idea what she was doing.
"Try to attack me," Bella stated looking Jasper straight in the eyes. I looked at her horrified. What? Bella shook her head side to side slightly , not taking her eyes off of Jasper. her eyes were slightly glazed over, Just like Alice's eyes when she had a vision. Jasper swayed a bit.
He suddenly went berserk. I could hear in in his thoughts, the sudden anger, the loss of control. Then he sprung at Bella.
And he was knocked back.
No one had hit him. He had suddenly flown back, like he had been swatted out of midair. What?
He shook his head and sat up off of the dirt ground, holding his head. It was pounding. Alice ran to Jasper and knelt at his side, her hand on his shoulder.
"What was that?" Alice asked, cautiously.
"My power," Bella stated.
