As always I don't own Twilight, SM does. And Jasper is only mine in my dreams ;)

I had a feeling that we weren't going to like it at all. We went downstairs and Jay sat on one of the loveseats with me on his lap, he was feeling very protective of me at the moment and was watching Peter's and Char's movements sharply, like he was waiting for them to attack or something like that… Peter and Char were sitting across from us, Peter was holding Char's hand and his feelings were kind of off, Char was feeling anxious.

"Start talking" Jay hissed out and I took both of his hands that were wrapped around my waist in my hands to keep him from attacking Peter.

"Alright, what do you want to know first, the good news or the bad news?" Peter said trying to light up the mood in the room, but he wasn't getting anywhere.

"I want you to start by explaining to me… to us, why did you touch me when I was human? You knew what was going to happen if you did" I asked him. I really wanted to know why he would do that to me… he knows shit; he must have known that I wouldn't want so many powers. Peter looked at me but stayed quiet and that didn't work for Jay.

"Why did you disobey a direct order from me, Peter? I told you I didn't want you near Bella" Jay asked him. Jay was angry so I squeezed his hand to calm him down; I wanted to know the answer before he tried to rip Peter's head off. Jay relaxed a little but he was still glaring at Peter.

"Because back then her shield wasn't as solid as it is now, and I knew that after her change she wouldn't want one more gift so I had to do it when I was able to" Peter said.

"But why did I need your gift?"

"Because that gift is the one telling you how to control your other gifts; that's why you have such control of your powers even in your newborn state" that made sense, sort of.

"How where you able to get near me… where was Edward? He always stayed at my house for protection" I asked already knowing the answer.

"You already know where he was" Peter told me cocking his head to one side and I nodded.

"He was fucking the pixie!" Charlotte said and we looked at her wide eyed "What? It's not a big secret that I don't like her" she shrugged her shoulders and so did Peter. I will have to ask her later why she dislikes Alice so much, but now I need to focus on Peter, he has the answers I need the most.

"Wait… so you knew I was going to have all this gifts, the empathy, the visions and the mind reading thing besides my shield?" I asked him.

"Well, those aren't exactly your gifts; they are the result of using two of your three gifts" he told me.

"Three powers… What are you talking about?" I thought I only had a shield and the sponge power.

"Peter, explain" Jay asked him getting annoyed because of Peter's vague answers. I tried to send calming waves so he wouldn't squeeze the answers out of Peter's throat.

"What I'm trying to say is that you have three gifts. First, you have your shield, mental and physical. You can do whatever you want with it; you can protect yourself and others, you can cage people inside of it, use it as resemble of telekinesis. When you lower your shield you can activate your second gift, Replication; with it you can mimic any power you want, you only need to keep your physical shield down and touch the gifted person and you'll have a replica of that gift in you forever and the gift you copy sometimes changes a bit… like for example, you have Edward's mind reader gift, you can read people's mind but you can also make people listen your thoughts and link their minds"

"Alright… well, that ain't that bad… all I have to do now is keep my physical shield in place and that's it… it's not like I can hurt people with this powers I have now, I know how to control them, most of the time"

"Wait, you said three gifts, what's the third one?" Jay asked. Peter's emotions got clouded and he stayed quiet again "What aren't you telling us? You want to learn the hard way not to hide things from me in regards of my mate?" Jay growled and Peter and Char averted their eyes; I fidgeted a bit, Jay's feelings were getting to me.

'Try to stay calm, Jay… he will tell us' I told him and he barely nodded his head but reigned in his emotions.

"I apologize, Major… your third gift is Absorption, Bella. You can have the power you take forever in you and it works the same way as the other, you have to lower your shield, touch the gifted person and activate that power; you'll know how to do it" he said and that confused me.

"Why do I have to gifts that do the same thing?" I asked shaking my head.

"They don't do the same thing, doesn't it, Peter" Char asked curious; she has been very quiet so far listening to Peter… I guess he didn't tell her the whole story.

"What does her absorption power do?" Jay asked wrapping his arms tighter around me.

"While your replication gift mimics a power and that power stays with you forever without even letting the people you copied the power from know you did it, your absorption gift takes the power out of the person and stays in you forever, leaving the person powerless…"

"Ok, my vampiric mind is failing me because I still don't get it" I told him confused.

"You can leave any gifted being powerless, forever. You can absorb the gift of any being with supernatural abilities, even making said gift stronger in you" Peter answered him leaving me speechless "They won't have a gift anymore"

"You knew all that and you didn't tell me before? She could have left us powerless back when she was human and she would had felt guilty about it eternally"

"No… she didn't have her absorption power when she was human, that power manifested itself when she was turned into a vampire. Since the day she was conceived she had a shield, that's her main power… when she meet her first vampire her Replication power was activated and after her change, came her Absorption power… "

"Ok, again, keep my shield in place and I won't have more powers and let anyone powerless" I could do that, what is a little more complicated is to take my shield off; I can see my shield on me, it's a thin layer covering me from head to toe… it was always on me "Could you tell us the good news now? We need good news" I asked Peter and he watched me guiltily and so did Char "What?" I asked feeling uneasy, somehow I knew that what was coming next wasn't going to be good and I guess I had to thanks Peter for that feeling since it was his fault that I was able to know this kind of things 'Jay?'

"Peter, spit it out" Jay told him but Char was the one who answered.

"Actually, that was the good news" Char told us and I tensed up.

"What's the bad news?" Jay asked them; I turned around and lay my head in the crook of his neck.

'This is not going to be good, Jay' I thought to him.

'I know, darlin', but whatever it is, we'll get through it together' Jay told me and I took a deep breath waiting for Char to speak.

"You are in danger… an army is coming to get you and we are going to fight to protect you" Char told us and I shook my head. What? Why?

'Not more fights, not again'

"Peter, I need more details" Jay asked him, he was trying to remain relax but I knew he was freaking out too

"It's The Volturi"

"What do they want? I'm already a vampire" I told him and Peter shrugged his shoulders.

"Exactly, Aro knows you're a vampire and he wants you. He knew you were going to be gifted since he couldn't read your mind when you were human and he was tired of waiting for you to be turned; that's why when he heard that Victoria was after you with a newborn army he didn't do anything to stop her"

"What was he thinking? Even now that I'm a vampire I don't want to be in his guard and let my family behind"

"He was counting on the newborns to kill the Cullen and when Victoria was about kill you, his guard was going to intervene; saving your life would have made you feel grateful towards him and you would have accepted his offer" that fucking asshole

"That's why I smelled those four scents, they didn't belong to a newborn" Jay said thoughtfully.

"Aro send Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix… when they saw you all survived and Bella was bitten they left. Aro is getting is guard prepared"

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Jay asked Peter and Char.

"I didn't know everything, only bits and pieces in the beginning; like I knew Alice wasn't your mate, even before you told me. I knew Bella was special and I knew I needed to touch her while she was human and that you were going to come here… it wasn't anything big, but yesterday I got the full picture"

"When are they coming? How much time do we have?" Jay asked him. I knew he was forming a strategy in his head. He was going to face them.

"Three weeks. Aro convinced Marcus and Caius to come here for Bella…" Char said

"Convinced them, they didn't want to come?" I asked confused.

"There's one thing you need to know that had me shocked yesterday. Aro is not only manipulating his guard to serve him, he's also manipulating Marcus and Caius"

"How?" I asked and Jay answered.

"With Chelsea, right?" He asked and Peter nodded

"I still don't get it"

"She has the supernatural gift of being able to weaken and strengthen the emotional ties of relationships" Char explained to me.

"So if we fight against them, she's going to break our bond?"

"She won't be able to penetrate your shield and she can't break the bond between mates" Char told me and that gave me peace.

"But why does she need to create ties in Marcus and Caius?"

"After Marcus's mate, Aro's sister was murdered and he couldn't find who did it, he became suicidal. Aro needed Marcus because of his gifts. Marcus has the ability to recognize the types of relationship between people and their weak spots; he can see who the leader in a coven is by only seeing the ties bonding them to him/her, he can see ties between family, friends and he can also see when someone is loyal and devoted; there was no way Aro was going to let that gift waste away, so he made Chelsea use her gift on him" Something came to my mind and I gasped.

"What is it, darlin'?" Jay asked me while Char and Peter watched me curiously.

"It was Aro, he killed Didyme" I told them and they were shocked.

"That's a real monster" Char whispered and we nodded… "How could he do that to his own sister, only to stay in power?" she asked and the answer came to my mind.

"Didyme and Marcus wanted to go away from Volterra along with Caius and his mate, Aro found out and killed her; Chelsea used her power on Marcus so he could feel loyal to Aro and stay" I said.

"That's sick" Peter said.

"And that's why Aro also 'compelled' Caius?" Jay asked after a minute of silence and I responded again.

"Caius is a great strategist and when Aro met him he was bitter and he hated everything… then he met his mate Athenodora and as his mate and Marcus's mate became best friends, Marcus and he became close too… they were as brothers as you and Peter and he was happy so he didn't have a reason to keep fighting, he wanted to just enjoy his life with his mate and in company of his brother. After Didyme's dead Marcus still tried to leave and Caius and Athenodora were going to go with him, he couldn't let that happen" I said and them blinked fast a couple of times trying to understand what I'd said. I sighed feeling enrage and sad about their story… how could someone do something like that "Why does Chelsea keeps them link, what does she gain?" I didn't know that answer.

"She's one of Aro's favorite… she asks for something and she gets it and she's happy there" Peter said.

"How can she be happy like that?" I asked.

"Because of Corin; she does what Aro wants because he 'gave' her a family when she was all alone and she wanted to feel loved and Aro convinced her that if she made everyone happy with her gift her new family was going to be at her side forever… she can brings out feelings of contentment and ease in a person… it's addictive, if she use her gift constantly on someone it has a side effects; when the one who is influenced is not receiving her gift, he or she starts feeling unwell and unease without it, it's like a drug, that's one of the reason Chelsea stays and does what Aro wants" Peter told me. Aro was a sick, sick monster… he manipulates people to do what he wants just so he can have power… he's so twisted.

'It's ok, darlin'' Jay told me trying to sooth me but it didn't work. He wasn't even calm to start with. Aro was so repulsing.

"No, it's not ok… he's a monster… he killed his own sister and is obligating people to do what he wants… he doesn't care about protecting the secret of being a vampire or to keep peace among us… he only wants power and he'll do whatever it takes to get it…" I shouted standing up and grasping my hair "And now he wants to do the same to us" that bastard… how could he kill Didyme and made Marcus stay with him, making his life miserable… and also keep Caius with him and make him bitter again… he needs to be stopped.

'Darlin'?' Jay called my name when he felt my emotions. I've decided… this can't keep on.

"Char is right… we are going to fight, but not only to save us, but to safe Marcus, Caius and all the vampires that are under the influence of Aro, Chelsea and Corin… Aro needs to pay, we need to win" I said.

"Don't worried, darlin'" Jay said and took me in his arms "I've never lost a fight and I ain't going to start now… We're going to make him pay" Jay told me with dark eyes and smirking.

"The god of war is here" Peter said grinning like a mad person and Char smiled.

I looked back at Jay and smirked too… Aro doesn't know what's waiting for him here…
