A/N: Hey guys, so as I said, here's the next chapter, and although it's very short it's also really important and will be built off of in later chapters. That being said I will probably have the next chapter up in two or three days because I'm going to be really busy tomorrow and I won't be able to work on or update my fanfiction. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and please follow, favorite, and review! The more reviews I get the faster I tend to update because I know that people are still enjoying this story when they review.

Previously:

For the first time since I could remember, I had a completely dreamless sleep. Strange when you think about it. You go through a dramatic experience and you expect to have nightmares. Not the other way around. And yet here I was, better rested than I had been in a long time.

…

'What about school? Today's Monday, isn't it?"

…

"Bella and I decided to go to a bookstore before dinner. We couldn't find the r-right bookstore and these men started f-following us." I was stuttering slightly and trying to rush the words out. "They chased us d-down the streets a-an… and cornered us. Th-there were f-four of them. Th-They… They got m-my s-shirt off a-and they w-were going to…" I trailed off. "But then Edward showed up an-and… and s-saved us. I had a panic attack and I-I don't remember too clearly b-but Alice showed up and brought me home.

…

Eventually, when I calmed down I noticed proudly that there wasn't any ice on any surface near us. Maybe I don't need Alice's gloves after all.

…

"Hi, Bella I-"

"Are you a vampire?!" she cut me off mid-sentence.

"No…" I trailed off.

…

"Yeah, so you're human?" She jumped right back into the conversation and I sighed.

"Umm, not anymore?" it was a question and I hoped that she wouldn't notice.

"Not anymore. So you were human?"

"Until this year."

…

"So wait, do you sleep? Eat food? Drink blood?"

I laughed at her flurry of questions. "Yes, I sleep, Yes, I eat food, and no, I don't drink disgusting blood." I added on the part about blood being disgusting to tease my family who were all probably listening in if they hadn't left already.

"Okay, is there a name for what you are? And what are your powers? Are they like Edwards?"

"My powers aren't like Edwards 'cause I can freeze things and create ice. And it's called being an Elemental."

…

I groaned when I saw a bunch of school work piled on the table courtesy of Alice and Jordan. This was going to be a long couple of days.

I had originally been planning on watching some more movies, but instead, I had to first conquer the mountain of homework and by the time I was done it was half-past eight.

I didn't have any time to watch TV or any movies so after I finished my homework and sorted it into my backpack I quickly grabbed a bag of Lay's salt and vinegar chips and ran up to my room.

In my room, I change into my pajamas before devouring the chips and tossing the empty bag into my mini-trashcan.

With all my home/school work done and a full stomach, I was able to fall asleep somewhere around nine or ten PM without any nightmares.

The next morning was both amazing and terrible. It was amazing because I had gotten through a whole two nights in a row without any nightmares and I pretty sure that's a new personal record for me. It was terrible because when I woke up Edward was already gone -Jazz said that he left early so that he could take Bella to school- and I felt slightly off.

I brushed away the feeling after my shower as I changed into a dark blue quarter-sleeves shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans.

"Alice?" I called as I ran down the steps two at a time. We were going to be late if I didn't hurry.

"In the garage," Alice replied and I ran out to the garage to see al of my siblings piled into Rosalie's red convertible.

"If you don't hurry we're going to be late" Jeez, sometimes she really is just like Edward.

"Not all of us have superhuman speed," I replied as I slid into the car sending her a mock glare.

"Hmm," She mused quietly. "I suppose you're right. But you are still slow even for a human."

I stuck my tongue out at her and turned away to look out the window.

As I turned away I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea and a killer headache.

I leaned against the window hoping that its cool touch would help even if only slightly. I didn't know a headache could come on that fast but here I was and there was no way I was going back home. If I did I would probably end up having to repeat my sophomore year because of all the school that I missed.

Literally minutes later Rose pulled up to the school that was usually a little less than an hour away and I sighed. Time to go find Jordan and Mike.

Mike and Jordan had been easy enough to find although we had been talking for only about five minutes when the first bell rang signaling that there were only three minutes left to get to class. I took that as my exit. As much as I liked being around Mike, he could be a little overwhelming at times.

As my Biology class dragged on and I counted down the minutes till lunch I suddenly felt someone shake my shoulder gently.

I had put my head down when my headache had gone from bad to unbearable and I had tuned out the teacher.

Apparently, that hadn't been a good idea because now Mr. Thomas was standing in front of my desk his arms crossed, a look of annoyance on his face.

"Miss Cullen, are you going to answer my question or do I have to give you detention for sleeping in class?"

"I, uh, I'm sorry sir I didn't hear the question but I wasn't asleep." I wasn't, right?

"If you weren't asleep then you would have heard the question the first three times I asked it. Detention, the next three days."

I opened my mouth to protest but he was already walking away.

Just then what I assume was the bell rang but I can't really be sure because, to me at least, it felt like someone was trying to stick a thousand needles in my head.

As soon as the noise stopped and the pain lessened slightly, I jumped up grabbing my bag and making a beeline for the door.

Once I was out of the cursed classroom I started to head towards the cafeteria only to stop immediately as I heard someone calling my name.

"Elizabeth!" It was Alice.

"Hey," I smiled weakly at her.

"Really, detention?" Her tone was exasperated and a bit disappointed.

I hate the way her tone made me feel and I hung my head slightly hoping that she wouldn't notice. I had managed to lie to -or at least not tell her that I was feeling bad knowing full well that I should have told someone- and disappoint Alice all in the same day.

"Sorry," I murmured as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders, her mood lightening slightly.

"Bad day."

It was a more so a statement than a question but I nodded my head none the less.

"Come on, we have to get food for the human," she teased and I smiled slightly but shook my head.

"Not hungry," I whispered wincing ever so slightly from my headache.

"Please eat," Alice said, yet she was already leading me over to our table. I hadn't even had a chance to think about she had said, but I guess my answer was going to be no.

We sat down at the table but I was completely out of it and wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation around me. It had taken me almost ten minutes to notice that Edward wasn't even sitting with us. He was, in fact, sitting with Bella instead.

"…Beth! Elizabeth!"

I looked up at Rosalie's low yet angry voice.

I wondered what she was mad about until I noticed that both of Rosalie's hands were frozen to the table as she tried to get out of the ice without drawing any attention.

"STOP IT!" Rosalie was whispering but her voice was deadly and honestly, it scared me a bit.

I focused on making the ice go away for a minute but it only went further up her arms until it reached just passed her wrist.

I opened my mouth to tell her that it wouldn't go away but nothing happened. I stayed sitting there completely still.

What was happening to me?!

Suddenly Alice gasped and I looked at her. She had the glossy look in her eyes that she always had when she had a vision.

"Elizabeth, what did you do?!" She sounded both worried and scared at the same time. What had I done?

"What is it?" Jasper's arm was instantly around her as she leaned into his side.

"It's gone. Her future's gone."
