Bella was literally vibrating with energy, electrical and mystical that is. Her hair had managed to twist its way out of its braids and currently was streaming behind her unhelmeted head dancing with the lighting it seemed to generate. Her once gorgeous hazel eyes now shown nothing but the fire that was fueling her rage. "How dare that insolent child assume he had any right to impose his will on me. I still make my former minions cower in fear. Their 'Kings' want me dead but are too scared to anger me. I have been trained by two of the most formidable of my Immortal brethren. How dare he!"

Bella subconsciously knew she was not herself right not. It was not something new to her. When she was extremely angry and had this much power surging in her veins, the instincts and physical traits of her former blood thirsty self came to the fore. She had little if no control of herself in times like this and her family, after many years knew this. She left for not only their safety but her own. She called this her 'feral' state and when in it she truly was one of the most dangerous beings in any world. Her power in this state was chaotic and uncontrollable, both sure indicators that a demon or ten would be on her trail quite soon.

The closer she got to the mountains the more her thirst took control. Her throat was burning, a sensation she hated for not only its pain but also the memories it stirred about the attack that left her mute. In a moment of pure rage and hatred, that she had not allowed herself to feel in nearly a decade, she let loose with her mental voice, "AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"

Anyone of supernatural anything within one hundred miles heard the scream of anguish. For all the mortals there was just a ringing in their ears. She didn't care who heard her, she didn't care about much right now except ceasing the burn and the pain. Bella felt the power currents shift right before the demon blinked into existence right in from of the bike. She had little time to react and with that time she tensed he legs and jumped from her bike. The flung herself to the left as the hulking demon in front of her collide with the bike and sent her once gorgeous ride flying through the air in hundreds of pieces. "You son of a bitch!" screamed Bella as she landed, nearly thirty yards from where she started.

The ease and skill with which she landed would have made the Cullens jealous. Before the brute could even make a move towards her she had called her powers and had a shield of lightening shimmering around her body and a ball of fire encasing her left hand.

Seeing the fire in her hand the demon was more worried about it and its potential lethality to him , he failed to notice the storm clouds that had filled the sky converging to just above him. With a mere thought Bella called a bolt from the sky that impacted with the demons scaly green head, immediately knocking him to his knees.

The Cullens raced to their cars after Alice relayed the news. Her heart was in her throat the whole time. If something happened to Bella she didn't know what she would do with herself. As hard as she was fighting it she knew Bella was her ever after. She had found her soul mate and even though they didn't 'love' each other yet it was only a matter of time. Their eternal souls just had to wait for their semi-mortal shells to come to terms with the fact they were destined to be together and no matter how much they fought it they could never deny that they were two halves to the same whole.

Just at Alice reached her car she whipped her head around to the Halliwell sisters. She had to tell them what was going to happen, even if it would expose them she needed to let them know. But what she saw when she turned to them had her frozen for just a second, which in Vampire time is nearly forever. The Halliwell sister were all huddled around Phoebe and by the look her face whatever she knew wasn't good. She stained to hear what she said but could not detect even a sound. She didn't know what to do but when they all jumped in the car and peeled out of the parking lot she figured they somehow knew. They had no clue where they were driving to, thus Alice had to constantly check her visions to see if they were going the right way. After the first minute she already had a headache but she refused to let it get in the way of her saving Bella. She knew her life was tied to Bella's, saving Bella would save herself.

Meanwhile the Halliwell sister were having an argument in their own vehicle. They were trying to decide who was going with Paige to help Bella. They knew that the Cullens were following them so they could not just all orb out with her, no sense giving away all their secrets. With a fair amount of speed arguing it was decided that Piper would orb out with Paige, she had one of the more active powers and if worse came to worse she would just freeze their demon asses till the other sisters arrived. With that decided they orbed to the aid of their baby sister.

Just as Piper and Paige appeared in the small clearing that Bella was battling in all hell broke loose. The demon Bella had been fighting let out an ear piercing scream and within seconds five more of his fugly kind joined him. The fight that ensued took everything Bella and Piper had. Paige was constantly redirecting the rotating balls of fire that were common place for demons and Piper blew them up, only for them to reappear once the molecular structure stabilized.

"Paige, Piper clear out for a minute. I'm going to bring down a fire storm and I don't want either of you to get hurt." Said Bella between punches with the demon in front of her. When they didn't make any move towards each other she mentally screamed.

"Now Paige, I won't ask again." No matter how hard Paige would try she could never ignore any command Bella gave when using 'that' voice. Even though they had both been royalty when they were vampires Bella had been 'The Empress' and Paige just a Queen. So with apprehension and regret Paige orbed her and Piper back to the car that was about a mile away.

Alice was fed up with being in the car she needed to be out there running to find Bella; her sitting was just making it worse. She rolled down the window and seamlessly jumped out, only to be followed by Emmett and Jasper. They were not letting their baby sister run out there and go against God knows what without backup. Edward knew all this, so as the driver he was forced to stay and Rosalie had resumed her mega bitch ways and refused to go help a lowly human, even if she was special.

With their enhanced vision the three vampires running through the forest saw Bella's sisters disappear into thin air right before a torrent of flame seemed to shoot from the sky, engulfing the whole meadow that Bella and the demons where standing in. Alice screamed and added more speed to her run. It was impossible for her to be faster than she had been but somehow she managed it. Emmett and Jasper struggled to keep up, their entrance into the clearing timed perfectly with the fire disappearing back into Bella. They stopped about ten feet from her. Alice would have given anything to wrap her arms around her but since there were still flames licking their way around Bella's skin she could not. Before anyone could speak four cars came to a screeching halt on the road. Their attention was drawn to the noise. Well all but Bella's she knew there was still a demon lurking somewhere she just had to find the bastard before he hurt her family.

She didn't have to wait long, just as her family and the Cullens cleared their cars and where staring to sprint towards them the demon showed its hideous face. He was on the other side of the clearing with the Alice, Emmett and Jasper separating him from Bella. The split second gleam in his eyes let Bella know what he was about to do. The Underworld underling was going to kill those in front of Bella. She reacted on pure instinct and leaped in front of the Cullens. The three balls of swirling demon fire that would have killed her new friends impacted her body in quick succession, forcing her down onto her knees as her body began to slowly die.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" was screamed from nearly every voice in the clearing. Leo and Paige didn't even bother running the rest of the way to Bella, they simply orbed to her side as the three oldest Halliwell sisters turned their wrath filled eyes to the demon that dared to mess with their family. The grasped hands even as Phoebe threw their 'in case of emergency' vanquishing potion. "Your time on this world has come to an end, to the abyssal plains we do send. As the Charmed Ones we speak it so, with the cleansing flames of justice doth you go." They released their hands as white flames engulfed the demon and he sunk into the vortex that opened beneath his feet.

With the demon gone the family converged on their downed sister. "Leo?" chocked out Piper as she saw him just holding Bella's head while Paige had her hand grasped in her own.

"We can't heal her. She's not human enough right now. There's nothing we can do." Said Paige as tears streamed down her face.

"Carlisle?" pleaded Alice. "Change her, please. She can't die. I just found her"

It was Coop who answered instead of Carlisle. "She wouldn't survive the change right now. That's even if she could be changed, which she can't. Her body isn't human enough to facilitate the change."

"Would all of you just shut up!" rasped out Bella's mental voice. The Cullens were all startled to hear it. Alice rushed to her side and grabbed her hand pushing Paige out of the way in her haste.

"Don't you dare die! Do you hear me, we just met. How am I supposed to take you on shopping trips and become your best friend if you die?"

"If I die it's meant to be. It will be okay Alice. Please don't cry. Someone as beautiful as you should never be… sad." The coughs the racked her body made it hard to even speak mentally. With the last of her energy Bella looked at each member of her family and ended with Alice. "If this is it….. know….that I lo…love you….all of you." And as her body ceased and her heart beat its last beat she kept her eye contact with Alice and with the whisper of her dying mind she said for Alice's mind only. "My…love….."

And with that Persephone Isabella Halliwell was gone. Her heart had stopped and with it Jasper and Edward were finally able to feel and here the rest of her family. The pain and anguish in the clearing was its own entity. But Jasper and Edward were getting conflicting readings…
