Previously:

"Love is the extra key to my power Emmett" Carlisle and Esme smiled warmly at me. I have them as my parents. I'm so lucky.

"Ohhhh… huh?" Rosalie smacked Emmett up the head. "Okay, I got it, I got it. I was just joking. Jeez" Emmett smiled idiotically and winked at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

Chapter 10 - Training

"Bella" I looked back to Carlisle. "I'm going to get Jasper to send you more waves of love. I need you to stay calm so we can test this out. Can you do that for us Bella?" hopefully.

"I'll try" Carlisle nodded and looked at Jasper. I felt love coming in strong waves straight away and same with the shield. I tried to stop myself from going into a crouch, but it didn't help. I was in a crouch, but I manage to keep the sounds to myself.

"Close enough" Carlisle smiled at me then looked expectantly over my shoulder. I turned around to find Emmett lifting a grizzly and flicking it in my direction. I closed my eyes; I didn't exactly want to see something, even if it was already dead, blow up in my face. "Very good" I opened my eyes to see everyone smiling. I managed to smile back without baring my teeth at them. "Now I want to see if more than one object will still have the same effect"

Before I could object, everyone had thrown their remaining things at me at the same time. Of course none of them made it through. "Very good"

"Wow, this is so cool. I LOVE your power Bella!" Alice screeched. I couldn't help but smile at the bouncing pixie.

"I agree" simple words from Rosalie but still, they had an effect. Emmett approached me to give me a hug, I looked in horror; my shield was still up.

"NO EMMETT, WAIT!" Everyone shrieked and tried to crash into him but they all missed. I tried to back away as fast as I could but he had managed to catch me and give me a hug with no damage done.

I was trembling hard now. As soon as Emmett let me go I collapsed onto the ground. Everyone was too scared to comfort me. "What?" Emmett backed away slowly for fear at what he had just managed. Rosalie came up behind him and smacked him up the head again.

"You're a bloody moron sometimes, you know that Emmett? What if you had been killed from Bella's shield, huh?" Emmett looked at Rosalie and then at me, just to repeat the motion over and over.

His eyes turned to the size bigger than his fists, and they were huge. "Oh" he turned frantically around at Rosalie to find her shaking with dry sobs. Emmett embraced his love in a comforting hug. "Oh Rose, I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking. I don't know what would've happened if something went wrong, and we'll never find out, I swear to you. I love you Rose, I didn't mean to cause you pain" Rosalie looked up at Emmett with hope in her eyes. They kissed each other ferociously before running off in the direction of home.

I looked around the group to find everyone looking fearfully at me and still frozen. I continued to sob. Emmett was almost killed because of me. I had almost torn him away from everyone he loves and that loves him. I truly am a monster. Again, I was the cause of their problems and grief. I shouldn't be doing this to this family. They all love me unconditionally, I don't deserve it.

As I starting rocking back and forth holding myself together, tears that should never fall fell, again. I just let them fall though, I was weak. I don't deserve a family like this.

"Bella?" I paid no attention to the voice that sounded a million miles away. I continued to rock back and forth. I felt the shield disintegrate as I was wrapped with something hard yet firm but I paid no attention. "Bella…" the musical voice sounded again. "Please Bella, look at me" I didn't move and continued to cry. Something sighed but still held onto me. "Carlisle, what do we do?"

"I don't know Alice. She shouldn't be crying to begin with, it's supposed to be impossible. Bella?" I sighed silently and lifted my gaze to find Carlisle looking sympathetically at me. How could he look at me like that? After all I've done to him and his family. I am the one that has destroyed them time and time again. I looked away quickly, I don't deserve them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause such worry" I began to stand up and run away when something grabbed my arm. I turned around to find Alice looking frantically at me.

"None of this was your fault Bella" I looked disapprovingly at her; of course it was. It always is.

"Bella" I looked over to Esme holding Carlisle, her eyes pleading with me. "Bella, Emmett forgot, please don't take this out on yourself" she made an attempt to hug me but I pulled back. The hurt that shone through Esme's eyes stabbed my cold, dead, monstrous heart. How could she still love me? I could've killed her son.

I looked down as I spoke, afraid of the looks they were all giving me. "I'm sorry, it is my fault and I'm going to fix it. I should never have come back with you Alice. All I've done is cause you more pain" I flinched as I remembered the look on Rosalie's face when Emmett hugged me, the look on all their faces; the fear, horror, shock, all my cause.

I couldn't do this anymore, I knew it was too good to be true. I would leave them to their peace and never come back. I watched as I saw Alice's eyes glaze over. Before she came back from her vision, I speedily whispered, "I'm sorry Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice" and took off running.

"WAIT BELLA! PLEASE DON'T GO! NONE OF THIS WAS YOUR FAULT!" They were all yelling at me to stop, but I kept going, leaving everything I had behind. All I ever loved. I don't care if this seemed pathetic, but it was the only way to keep this family together.

That's when I smelt it. I was captivated straight away and changed my direction and ran, following the sweet mouth-watering scent, no longer caring what it was. My senses took over as I ran at top speed. I bounded through the forest when I heard that something was chasing me. It was trying to steel my snack! How dear it!

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around to pounce at the enemy. I listened carefully as the footsteps were almost here. I was trying so hard to resist the meal that was calling to me, trying to swallow the venom as it pooled in my mouth.

When this thing was finally here, I pounced. As I was still in the air, I froze. How can I freeze? I screeched in confusion to be put down. Laughter filled the air, shaking me to my core. It had to have been one of the creepiest laughs I've ever heard. My rival kept on laughing as he strode out of the shadows to reveal himself.

"Put.me.down!" I struggled in the air, trying helplessly to find a way down.

"My my, are you a feisty one. I'm sorry, but until you clam down I will keep you suspended" I struggled as I smelt a change in the air. It smelt like it was being cleaned and I couldn't smell my meal anymore. The burning in my throat intensified showing itself. I screamed in frustration. "Smells clean, doesn't it?" I snapped my eyes at him.

"You took it away? How dear you! PUT ME DOWN"

"Tsk, tsk. Only if you agree on one thing"

"Like?" I spat the word out like venom. The man in front of me laughed again, not afraid at all but amused.

"Just promise me you won't try anything. I can easily raise you off the ground again. Oh and yes, I do know about your power, but it has no affect on me" I gaped at him. How did he know? And how can it have no affect on him? My shield destroys everything it makes contact with. I began to tremble as I remembered the look on their faces. I could've killed Emmett. I was too dangerous for them. I had to run away. Didn't I?

I felt myself being lowered to the ground and pulled into a hug. I didn't even care that I didn't know one thing about this man that was hugging me. I embraced it, savouring the feeling. "Shhh Bella. It's okay. I know what you did. I'm sorry. Please look at me" for some reason I had the urge to listen so I obeyed. I looked into his eyes for the first time and gasped. They were golden, just like theirs, an animal drinker.

He was extremely attractive too. He had jet black hair that just had that 'shag' look to it. His skin was of course pale and flawless, perfect in everyway. To me he looked around 18, 19 and to be kind of European but I couldn't be sure. I could feel his rock hard pecks underneath my hands and barely manage not to look.

"How do you know my name?" I said recovering myself after what seemed like forever. He chuckled lightly before replying.

"I know everything Bella. It's one of my powers" I nodded. That must be tough, to know everything. "No, you get used to it once and a while. I can block out the constant flow of information whenever I want to" I looked at him bewildered.

"What?"

"I know everything hence that I knew what you were thinking. But I'll stay out from now on…" he stopped to think for a while, "…unless under your permission" I continued to gape at him. Who was this vampire?

"Who are you?" I felt the burn in my throat chaff as I forced words out of my mouth, but then it was gone. It felt like blood was rushing down my mouth actually. It tasted unbelievable, but how had that just happened? I looked up to this stranger to notice a small smile placed on his lips.

"Feels better?" I nodded, unable to speak. He had just gotten rid of my thirst? "By the look on your face, yes, I did get rid of your thirst"

"Thank you. But you never answered my question" He looked taken aback but composed himself quickly making me think it never happened.

"I'm sorry, where are my manners? My name is Lucius Boumbalis. And please forgive me for my first reaction towards you" He held out his hand and I slowly took it. That name sounds European, Roman maybe?.

"It's fine. Bella Swan" I offered him.

"I know" Oh yeah.

"How?"

"As I told you, I know everything" Oh, dahhh. Bella, you seem to be really dumb right now. But who couldn't be looking at this gorgeous man. "It's one of my powers"

"You mentioned that. What else can you do?"

"I am telekinetic as you just found out a while ago, I can create a shield in which nothing including powers can reach me, harm me unless I say so otherwise. I guess it's like your power in a way, but it just prevents things from coming close, not destroying them. I can also create illusions, which is why you no longer feel thirsty and why your family hasn't found you yet"

I stared wide-eyed at Lucius. "How? Why?"

"Because, I know how much you want to leave them to keep them happy and safe, no matter how much I disagree" Lucius answered the most important question first. But he still had no right to say he didn't disagree, not like it matters anyway. "As with the how, I can create and destroy matter at my whim except for living things. I created blood to flow down your throat; I'm sure you felt it" I nodded amazed. Lucius continued, "I destroyed the smell of blood in the air, which was, by the way, human" I felt my eyes widen further and my jaw drop.

I had almost killed again. "Thank you" I was rewarded with a smile and my breathing hitch. It was one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. It was dead equal with Edwards…

Oh my god! I'm never going to see him again. My love is lost forever to me.

I started to shake violently but was pulled into a hug which calmed me down immediately. I squeezed Lucius back, afraid if I let go, I would break-down again.

"Bella…" I looked up to meet Lucius' eyes as he spoke kindly to me. "Right now I'm creating an illusion barrier around us. We can see everything that's happening outside of it, but when you're looking into it, it's like we're invisible to them. All they will see is the image around us but without us in it. I have also destroyed your scent and that is why your family hasn't found you yet and never will unless you want" I smiled in understandment. But what have I done to do deserve this stranger to cross my path?

Noticing my troubled expression, Lucius spoke before I could. "There was something that was pulling me to this place so I allowed information to flow to me, everything changes and so does my information which is why I didn't know of this a long time ago. When I realised it was you I left my home immediately. I have travelled a long way to meet you Bella"

"But why me?"

"I don't know. I've blocked it out so that it'll be a surprise. Once I learned how to block out this constant flow of information, I use it all the time unless I want to know something for sure" I sighed. He has all the power you could only think of dreaming about. I just wish I could leave this place. "I know you don't want to be here Bella, so would you like to get away from here and follow me to a place only I know of? It's only 237 miles east from here"

This might not be a good idea. He seemed genuine enough but, should I go with him?

Should Bella go with Lucius? Write a review and tell me yes or no

BTW, The way to pronounce 'Lucius Boumbalis' is 'Lou-she-us / Boam-bah-liss' (boam like foam)
hope that helps :)
