(Two days since Bella told them she was a witch)
Edward's POV:
It was still hard to believe that Bella was a witch. It is not a bad thing, It is good actually. It was amazing to see her do magic. The whole family loved to watch her practice her magic, even though it is probably not very safe. She is really bad with magic. I don't know a lot about magic, but she seems to make too many mistakes. We would all go to the clearing where my family and I used to play baseball and there she would practice her magic with all of us watching her. It has become our favorite thing to do during the night.
"Emmett, you can stand right here" Bella was telling Emmett. She practiced her magic on him, because he volunteered. It was very funny to watch. Specially when she accidentally turned him into a mouse. That was really funny.
Now, Bella is trying to fly with Emmett. She thinks she can do that if she concentrates hard enough.
"Emmett, hold my hand and close your eyes" Bella told him as they both held hands and closed their eyes.
I watched as Bella and Emmett's feet rose about four inches above the ground, and then they both fell back on the ground.
"I think Emmett is a little too heavy for you Bella" Alice told her.
"You're right Alice, do you want to try?"
"No thanks."
"Hey, what's that?" Jasper asked pointing behind Bella.
"Uh-oh" Bella said looking at the smoke coming from the ground
"What's wrong?" I asked her as she turned around to look at us, her eyes full of horror.
"Stay here. Do NOT follow me. I will be right back" She said and then turned around and flew to where the smoke was.
Seconds later a person appeared from the smoke. It looked like an old woman.
"Isabella dear, I missed you" the old woman said to bella
"I missed you too grandma" Oh, so it was Bella's grandmother. Bella hugged her grandmother, but from listening to Jasper's thoughts I could tell that Bella was terrified.
"I see you have been practicing. I am glad you took my advice, you never did. Makes me wonder why you believe me now. You have always been very stubborn, just like your father. He had a thick skull. Never listened to me. Now look where it got him. He got himself killed along with your mother. Not a very good place to be, if only he listened to me. None of this would have happened. I am happy to see that at least one person is willing to do what I say. Right Isabella? I came here for some very important information Isabella. Pay close attention to what I have to say, because I didn't come here to waste my five year vacation. I don't want to have to repeat myself and you better take my advice if you want to live. Isabella, remember 20 years ago, when you fought against that old wizard? you were able to beat them, even with the low magic level you have, which you need to work on by the way. You thought they were gone for good and everyone else did too, but I didn't. I knew they were not really dead, they were just taking a nap. Actually, they were practicing. They are becoming more powerful and they want to take over the kingdom. I need you to be ready Isabella. You can't let them harm anyone. You have to protect the kingdom. I want you to understand that what you did 20 years ago was great, but it won't be as easy as it was then. They know about you know. You are in danger Isabella, you are in grave danger, just like everyone else in the kingdom. I am counting on you and so is everyone else. I know you can do it, don't prove me wrong. Goodbye Isabella."
Bella's grandmother disappeared in the smoke again. I ran to Bella and held her before she fell to the ground.
"Bella, are you okay?" I asked knowing she was not okay. What her grandmother told her was big news. I was having a hard time understanding what her grandmother meant by all that, but I understood one thing for sure... Bella was in danger. I carried Bella over to our home and laid her on the bed in my room. She was awake.
"Edward, please let me go" She whispered. I dropped my hold on her arms. She got up off the bed and walked to the door.
"Bella, where are you going?"
"Edward, I know you heard what she said. I need to practice. I don't have any more time to waste. I should have practiced long ago. I was selfish and stupid to want to give up the magic. It is all my fault that people are in danger now. I should have known how to do this long ago..."
"Bella, stop. None of this is your fault. There is no way you could have know."
"Edward, I should have at least tried..."
"There is no use crying over what you should have done. Stop blaming yourself. Bella, you need to rest. Practice tomorrow."
"I guess you are right. I do need to rest." I was surprised she didn't argue with me, more proof that she was very tired.
"Bella, how old are you?" I asked.
"I am sixteen" She answered
"How long have you been sixteen?"
"A while"
"How long is that?" Emmett asked
Bella thought about the for a minute with a grimace on her face, and then her expression turned blanck.
"Do you really want to know?" She asked
"Yes" Emmett answered
"I have been here for a thousand years, through the joys, through the tears. I have watched the mountains rise from dust, saw the gold return to rust. I had cried when the oceans died. I was here when the world began to turn. I kissed the sun as it started to burn. The moon was rising from above. I caught his eye and thought it was love, but he turned his back and the sky went black. I danced through castles made of stone, walked the desert sands alone. In the midnight hour you feel the power. I have been here for a thousand years" Wow!!
