Courtney nodded her head and tried to start walking, but her feet caused her agony so she was crying the entire time that she was walking. "Courtney" my voice called softly. Her blue eyes seemed to pierce my soul with sadness with all of her tears streaming down her face. "Do you want me to carry you?" I did want to give her a choice, but I didn't want her to be uncomfortable.

She nodded her head slowly, allowing me to cradle her in my arms. "You know Bella," her voice was quivering and she paused, not really knowing what to say, "thank you." It seemed to her that was all she had to say, and I was fine with that.

I started to wander towards our house, but then I decided against it. Edward would still be there, and there was no way that I could face him with the little girl in my arms. I looked down on Courtney to see her eyes drifting closed, but she was making an effort to stay awake. "Courtney, you are safe now, go to sleep." My soft voice reassured her as I hoped that she would fall asleep. If she fell asleep, then I would be able to go to a different town than Forks, and no one would recognize me.

A few minutes later, I heard her heartbeat slow and steady, leaving me to believe that she had fallen asleep in my ice-cold arms. I sighed lowly in relief that I could finally think about what Edward's reaction was as I headed towards Beaver (and yes it is an actual town near Forks, I looked it up).

How could he have reacted so badly if he was so practiced at hunting animals? I was a mere newborn who is supposed to have no control whatsoever, and I didn't lose it. Sure I followed the scent, but I didn't go crazy or wild like Edward did.

These thoughts kept me entertained the entire way to Beaver. And the next thing I knew, we were standing in front of the police station. "Courtney," I whispered softly while shaking my arms, "we are here." She opened her blue eyes slowly and looked into mine, which were probably a crimson red from the change, but I could tell that she felt safe.

But then she looked at the sign on the police station, "Beaver?" she asked with confusion clear in her voice. Her blonde curls went over her eyes, so I could only tell her emotions through her body language.

"Honey, do not be afraid. The only reason why we are in Beaver instead of Forks is because this town was closer." Relief flooded through her, and I continued, "Either way, you will get home to your parents." She nodded her head slowly as I started to walk into the warm building.

The officer that was sitting at the front desk seemed relaxed, until I walked in there with Courtney lying in my arms. "My name is Cassie," she spoke to Courtney softly, getting her attention. "Who are you?" Her voice was kind and sincere.

"My name is Courtney." I could tell that Courtney didn't want to talk, so I put her in one of the chairs that was sitting in the corner of the room. I drifted back to the front desk slowly, making sure I was walking human speed instead of my normal speed.

Officer Edge (Cassie's last name) has dirty blonde hair with light blue eyes. I looked directly in her eyes, and then glanced away before she noticed the color of mine. "My name is Izzy," I didn't want to use my real name, because that would be putting my almost-family and the love of my existence in danger, "I found her in the woods just outside of town, and I asked her where she was from, and she said Seattle. I could only think to go to the authorities. But I am on my way to meeting someone, so I have to leave. But please make sure that she gets back home." My eyes on their own accord drifted to Courtney who was looking lost. I felt bad because I was going to leave her, but I was putting everyone's lives in danger in here, whether they sensed it or not.

Officer Edge nodded her head, and I walked towards Courtney with saddened eyes. "Courtney" my voice called for the last time. She looked up towards me, and her eyes didn't look as sad as they were when we were in the woods. "I'm sorry honey, but I have to leave. I have some important business that I have to attend to, but Cassie," I used my head to point towards Officer Edge, "will help you get home."

I could tell from the look in her eye that she didn't want me to go, but I had no choice. I was starting to feel the burning in my throat, and if I didn't get out of here fast, then I was going to kill everyone here.

Her soft voice caused me to run out of there faster, "Bye Bella". I ran as soon as she accepted that I was leaving. It was a good thing that Officer Edge was no where near Courtney when she said that. I hoped that Courtney would remember my name as Izzy instead so then the Beaver Police didn't find out where I live.

Once I reached the woods, I ran straight back to the house, hoping that someone was going to be there, anyone. I saw the white mansion before I thought possible, and I ran into the back door of the house. "Hello?" My voice questioned in the same high-pitched voice again.

Jasper was the first one to show up in front of me which surprised me. "Bella, I feel that I owe you an apology. You have to understand that I was around newborns that did not have control over anything, and I just expected that from you. I am so sorry for having doubt in you and I am sorry for making you upset." I smiled kindly at him, showing him that it was okay, and gratefulness rushed into him.

I thought that he was done speaking, but he wasn't. He hesitated, trying to find the words to phrase the next part of his sentence. "Edward…he is very upset with himself. He is refusing to talk to anyone, unless it is you. He is in his room." With the information of where Edward was, I darted up to his room.

I opened the door as fast as I could, and I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. Edward was on his king sized bed, wrapped into a ball, and crying tearless sobs. Sadness was clearly evident in his position. I walked slowly towards him and sat beside him, rubbing his back until he noticed.

His black eyes drifted towards me, and he threw himself at me, almost knocking me down to the floor. "Bella." He breathed as he started to kiss my neck. "I'm so sorry." He said with conviction in his voice between his trail of kisses. "I should have had better control of myself. I mean I am –"

"Edward" I said calmly, pushing him away so that I could see his face. "It is alright, I know you may not think so because you are supposed to be more controlled than I am, but I don't care. I still love you. I just freaked out because the scent was one of a little girl named Courtney." He gave me a questioning look. He didn't seem to understand how I knew the girls' name.

I sighed softly and hugged him to me, not wanting to see the fury that was sure to come with my explanation. "Edward, after I tried to calm you down, I had to go find her. She was lost in the woods. So when I ran away from the house, I was following her scent, and eventually I found her. Her feet were bleeding from not having any shoes on, and her tears were noticeable by scent, I had to help her get out of the forest. So I carried her to the Beaver Police Station, but I couldn't stay. I had to leave because the fire in my throat was burning from being near so many humans. So that's when I ran back here, and found you like you were a few minutes ago." My voice was rushed and hushed in the empty room, and both my breathing and his left us.

He tightened his hold on me and stood up and started twirling me around his room. Wasn't he supposed to be mad that I went near a human on my first day of "life"? His voice started me, it was a happy tone, "That's amazing Bella!" He laughed and twirled me yet again, still confusing me.

"Aren't you…" I asked when suddenly I was stopped short by his lips catching mine. This kiss, it wasn't like any of the other ones that I have experienced before, it was rushed and passionate, without the need of him holding his control over everything. He could let himself go now, not having to worry about injuring me because of my new state.

After he released my lips from his hold, I asked the question that had stuck to my brain. "Aren't you mad because I went near humans on the very first day of my existence?" My voice held confusion and a slight hint of anger because it just didn't make sense that he was happy about me going near humans.

He sighed and put me softly down onto the king sized bed. "Don't you get it Bella?" He chuckled while leaving me confused. "You have the best self-control, and you can tell when the scent of human blood is becoming too much for you to handle. You can leave the situation as others wouldn't be able to."

He paused, and I wanted to tell him something. "Edward," he looked at me curiously, "I have to tell you something." He nodded his head for me to continue as he sat right next to me. "Well you know when I ran away from the house earlier? Well, I didn't want to hear any voices, and suddenly they were gone. And later I willed myself to hear your voice, and it appeared. What do you think that means?"

He had a glint in his eye that told me that it was something important. "We should talk to Carlisle." He smiled and took my hand before standing up.

We walked from his bedroom to the Carlisle's study where everyone was sitting. "Did you hear that?" I asked quietly, embarrassed, as I snuggled my head into Edward's chest. They all laughed in response, with the exception of Edward.

Carlisle was the first one to speak. "That is very interesting, the amount of control you have; I mean you have enough control to carry a human girl who is bleeding, and I find that amazing in itself, but then you mentioned the other thing. All you had to do was not want it to happen, or not to hear something, and it went away. I think those are your powers Bella."

My eyes grew wider and then my mouth dropped down to the ground. Alice laughed. "If you wanted to know what your abilities, then I could have told you. All you have to do is ask." Her voice was carefree now that she was able to stand next to me without Jasper hovering over her.

I looked over at Emmy only to find him silently standing behind Rosalie. I wonder why he is hiding behind her. I have no reason to be mad at him now… wait… they don't know about my reaction, and how Edward helped me out.

Edward noticed my attention going away from the group and focusing on Emmy. He pushed me towards Emmy and Rosalie as I made to reach out for Emmy's elbow.

I pulled him out of the room, and pretended like no one could hear us. "Emmy, what's wrong?" My voice became soft again, without me wanting it to.

He looked at me and sighed lowly. "I'm so sorry that I made it feel like I was going against you. Edward told us, but I… I just don't want you to ever feel that way." He voice held longing, longing for me to never feel upset with him, or anyone in the family.

I knew that this would happen, him not wanting me to feel sadness or anger towards anyone. How could I word this easily? "Emmy, there are times where we all get angry, and I will try not to get like that, but I can't promise you eternity." I chuckled, but got right back to my serious tone, "I just have to learn to control my emotions." I sighed and walked slowly up to Edward's room while everyone left the study.
