From Bella's POV

The plan was set, everything was ready, and this was the day that Xavier would die. Edward would wait for him to come in front of the house, Xavier would walk up and try to take him, we would surround him, and Edward would plunge the knife into his chest. Simple enough, right? Of course it sounded simple, but Xavier was one powerful vampire. Still, with my power, I think I could hold him down along with the help of the others.

It was five minutes until noon, and Edward was standing at the edge of the trees. He stood there staring into the dense forest with sure and steady eyes. The rest of us were staying out of sight in the surrounding area. Of course he would probably sense us, but by then it would be too late.

When five minutes had passed, precisely at noon, Xavier showed up. When he came out of the forest he wasn't even really walking, or so it seemed. He was more like gliding over the ground. His movements were graceful, but his expression was dark. He had a demonic-like presence about him and the ground beneath him seemed to reflect this certain darkness in him. It was true that the more we fought him the more powerful and evil he became.

He stopped short about a foot in front of Edward and raised his hand. It was almost as if he was signaling to Edward to take his hand, but I knew this was not it when he turned around and went back into the trees. It was merely a gesture that the time for him to come was at hand.

The plan then went into motion. We ran from our places and went to the spot where Xavier was, but he was not there. I turned and looked into Edward's eyes. He was standing there with the knife in hand, ready to strike, and he had a confused look on his face. "Edward look out!" I tried to warn him, but it was too late. By the time he started to turn Xavier had grabbed him from behind, and they were gone.

I ran after him as fast as I could in the direction that I had seen him go, but I could not catch up; although I knew where he was going.

(A little while later.)

As I was walking up that paved road that I had driven up with Edward what seemed so long ago. Before I left I had asked nobody to follow me. The only person that I had real trouble convincing that I need to go alone with was Alice. Carlisle was finally the one who convinced her.

Memories of the first time I had a taste of my power flooded my mind. That perfect day in the perfect place with the perfect person. Oh how wonderful that day was! And how I longed for everything to go back like it was before Xavier reared his ugly head. I quickly got to the top of the drive and stood before the building that was Xavier's mansion.

I kicked open the doors and once again found myself staring into the long hallway with many doors on either side. I walked once more down this hall into the huge room where I had assumed Edward fought him the first time. In that room, hanging from the ceiling by a noose, was Edward. He wasn't moving at all. The first thought that came into my mind was that he was dead, but I knew better. Xavier had simply given him the serum that he had used before.

I never really figured out how he got the serum to work since we didn't have any blood or anything like that. The moment I pointed my finger to Edward to try and pull him down with my mind, I heard Xavier. He was clapping his hands as though to mock me.

"You idiotic girl. Haven't you learned anything from facing me? Don't you know that by coming here you have allowed me to use my power to destroy even the most powerful vampire coven?"

"How are you going to destroy us all by projecting thoughts into our minds?" I still didn't know where he was. But when he spoke he glided out of the shadows on the far side of the room.

"Projecting thoughts! Hah! Edward never told you, did he?"

"Tell me what?"

"Girl, my power isn't projection! I stole that power from another vampire! My power is the ability to obtain the power of any vampire I kill! Including you!"
