And SUPER THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT REVIEWED!!! -heart-heart- -squiggle- -smiley face-

Before I could break down; dissolve into the nothing that I felt I was, Katrina spoke.

She was just as gleeful as ever, still smiling her dazing smile, so beautiful it blinded me.

"What's wrong Bella? I thought you wanted them back. Well I gave them to you."

I turned around to glare at her with tear-filled eyes.

"What have you done to them!?" I hissed, my voice was sharp and filled with fury. I was surprised at my own anger.

But she simply giggled. A cooing sound like a baby's first laugh.

"Oh, Bella. I've simply fulfilled their wishes."

Rosalie and Alice had joined me now. I could hear their low growls.

I was sure I wouldn't be able to control myself any longer.

"You don't know what they want. These aren't their wishes." I said defiantly.

"Oh really Bella? That's not what they told me. They said they wanted to do everything I told them. So I granted their wishes. That's what I do. Everyone wants to do what I tell them. Everyone wants to follow my rules." Katrina giggled again.

Carlisle stepped forward before a fight broke out. I knew I was no match for this dillusional vampire girl, but I was still angry; this was my match.

"Your power." He said simply. It was a statement. I was confused.

Katrina nodded, still smiling happily.

I wondered how she could be so calm, when there were 4 very angry vampires standing around…And one human. She was no match for us, and yet she seemed so calm.

Something hit me. "Power?" I asked, confused out of my angry state.

But Rosalie and Alice continued to glare at Katrina with hate-filled eyes.

Carlisle still watched the girl too, but he answered my question.

"Her gift. To control people. Similar to Jasper's, who can control their emotions. But she controls their mind…their wishes." Carlisle said calmly. But I could see that the idea, that the concept… gift, disgusted him.

"But don't you understand? They like this. Who would want to think for themselves when someone else could do it for them. Now Edward doesn't have to make a decision to change you Bella. I can. And Jasper doesn't need to decide whether or not to hunt a human. I can decide for him." She let out a wicked little giggle. "They're happy with me. Happier than they were with you."

The last statement was a blow below the belt. I had always wondered if I were fulfilling the needs of Edward. I wondered if he really was happy. So many times a day his mood would shift to his brooding sadness.

I had wondered if, had he been with someone else, would he have been happier?

Rosalie had a different idea though, "You think that do you? You won't be thinking that much longer! Your hair isn't even perfectly conditioned! Emmett would never like you better than me."

I was amazed that Rosalie could be so obsessed with her hair at a time like this. But then…she was Rosalie.

Alice let out a little 'humph' in anger.

What could we do? The boys were under Katrina's control.

There was nothing we could do to free them…was there?

I flipped through my mind, hoping for something that could help me.

The only thing we could do was destroy her, but Carlisle would never resort to such crude methods.

And who would destroy her? Certainly not I. I was just a weak human being.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, desperately.

"Why?" said Katrina. And her beautiful face was suddenly very vulnerable; as if she herself had no idea why. "I don't know…" she said slowly. But her maniacal smile was back on in a flash. "Because they asked me to. They want it."

She let out another cruel giggle and flipped her unconditioned hair.

Carlisle was as calm as ever, "I don't believe what you are doing is right, Katrina. You yourself do not know what has come over you. Let them be, you're not a bad person."

I would have laughed. Carlisle was preaching…to this girl. Hah! But I was much too stressed.

I glanced back toward Edward who was standing motionless and expressionless by the open door of the beat up red car.

How was I supposed to get him back?

Katrina let out a shrill little laugh, her eyes wild. "I'm doing exactly WHAT.THEY.WANT!" she screamed; and her hair went on a frenzy, dancing crazily in the wind.

There was a flash of lightening and then the loud boom of thunder. The wind and rain picked up, drenching my already soaked clothes. My hair stuck in my eyes, and I pried it away, intent on keeping watch of this insane girl.

But what surprised me most was when Carlisle spoke. His voice was completely emotionless. A flat tone, almost bored.

"Go home girls." He said to us.

"W-what?" Alice asked, her pixie frame spinning around to face the beautiful vampire male. "What are you asking us Carlisle?"

I wondered if Carlisle was planning to fight Katrina…

"Go home. You are not needed here. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper are fine. They do not need your help. We are happy." He said, and his face broke out into a lovely smile.

"Carlisle…" said Esme, placing a hand on his shoulder, "are you fine?" she asked worriedly. Her face contorted into comforting motherly features.

"Leave Esme." Carlisle said rudely, "We are fine." And he twisted out of her grip as if she had burned him, walking to stand beside Katrina.

"What is wrong with you?!?!" Rosalie yelled at him, at all of the men that stood before us. Against us.

"Nothing." They replied in unison.

Katrina laughed again, and my blood boiled to its burning point.

"Shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" I yelled, stomping over to her majesty.

Before I had any idea what I was doing, I had pulled my arm back and slapped her across the face.

Her face showed nothing but shock.

My hand throbbed painfully for a few seconds before it began to swell up, turning numb.

I knew she couldn't feel it. My weak human reflexes were nothing compared to her marble hard skin, but it still surprised her.

"You think you can stop me?" she asked, incredulously. And her lips pulled up into a small smile. "Well you can't. I control. I can control you too, want a taste of what they feel? And then you'll know…they're happy." She said and her eyes narrowed in concentration.

Rosalie, Alice, and Esme gasped in shock behind me, but I was barely aware of them.

My eyes closed, ready for the impact of her gift. To feel my thoughts erase.

But nothing happened, and I opened my eyes fearfully to see her staring at me in shock.

Her eyes were wide and her mouth open in a little 'o' of horror.

"W-w-why are you not…responding?" she asked, surprised.

And then I was sure I knew what it was. Could it be the same thing that prevented Edward from 'hearing' my mind? Was she unable to tamper with my thoughts too?

I smiled ruefully at her. "That's what I thought." I said, much more calmly than I felt.

And, so stupidly, a thought occurred to me.

Romeo and Juliet. Why, at a time like this, would I think of Romeo and Juliet?

While I stood in the middle of an empty parking lot with 8 vampires would my mind stray to Shakespeare's love struck play.

But it all made sense. It ended with a kiss. Everything ended with a kiss. Why could this not end with a kiss as well? I wondered to myself.

And before I could control my actions, think through everything more thoroughly, I was walking to Edward.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and reached up on my toes to place my lips against his.

At first he was unresponsive, still as a statue carved of marble.

But then I felt his lips move against mine. And his arms slid around my waist, pulling me closer.

I pulled my head back an inch to stare into his beautiful topaz eyes.

"Edward." I whispered, and the name sent a flurry through my heart.

"Bella." He whispered back, and it sounded right on his lips.

This was not the end. It was only the beginning.

A/N: haha such a cheesy chapter. I don't think I've ever written anything like this. I wonder if this should be the end, or shall I explain what happened to Katrina? It sounds so nice here. You could make up your own diabolical thoughts about Katrina's demise.

Review Review Review. And tell me whether you'd like the very last chapter, or shall I leave it here.
