Okay everyone; sorry for the long delay had a little bit of writers block, and a lot of family stuff to deal with.


Chapter 12

EPOV

Never in my many years as a vampire have I ever feared being defeated by another vampire or creature, but standing in the woods with Bella clutched to my back; I was not feeling very confident about the outcome of this pending battle, the wolves were advancing in what seemed to be slow torturous motion and there thoughts were so scattered I couldn't tell what they were going to do.

"Paul, you attack first, Jared you get Bella off of the leech; if you have to knock her out to take her safely then do it" Phil said.

Immediately I circled to make sure that I was concentrating on Paul, Jared was off to his left, it was almost like playing football; I knew what play they were calling, now I had to counteract it.

Bella was my main priority I could out run them if I could get away from them, I would fight to the death to protect Bella. Phil was telling them some other key points to their move when I felt Bella starting to tremble, it was freezing out and she had to be cold, and here we were faced against eight full-sized wolves hell bent on taking her from me, she had to be scared.

The wind picked up around us, and I could feel a strange electricity in the air, the wolves stopped and looked at Bella, and I glanced at her over my shoulder her face was fierce with concentration, and her eyes; her eyes were almost glowing golden in the moonlight. The wind that I had felt wooshed past me, and hit the oncoming wolves like a tidal wave throwing them backwards.

"Run Edward" Bella said her voice full of the electricity that I had felt, my super senses were not working at their fullest or I wouldn't have needed told to run at our chance.

I could hear the wolves stunned thoughts as we tore through the woods to my house, and when we were over the treaty line and safe in the lights shining from the house I finally said what my mind was thinking,

"What was that" I asked

"That was me" Bella answered me her voice with less electricity in it, she sounded a little shaky now.

Throwing the door open and slamming it shut I set her down gently holding her close to me as my family descended upon us, taking in my expression, their thoughts assaulted me and when Bella turned around and looked at them they saw it.

"Freaky Bella, whats up with your eyes" Emmett asked her and she turned and looked into the mirror, gasping as they were still the glowing gold they had been in the woods.

"What the hell" she asked closing her eyes and opening them several times.

"Edward" Carlisle and Esme asked together.

"What happened" Jasper who could obviously feel both the relief we were feeling but also mingled with the feel we had felt still lingering in the air.

"The wolves attacked tonight" I said and there was silence as they just looked at us.

"What, when" Carlisle asked as I led Bella to the sofa and Esme came back with a cup of hot tea.

"Alice said you were coming and to have this ready" Esme told me as I look quizzically at the steaming cup of tea. I nodded my thanks as Bella took a big drink and I explained the events of the night and then paused before telling them that Bella had literally blown all the wolves away.

"Isn't is supposed to be the other way around, doesn't the big bad wolf; huff and puff and blow things around" Emmett said and we did get a little chuckle out of it.

"How" Bella asked setting her empty cup down and looking at me. I didn't have and answer for this.

"What were you feeling when it happened Bella" Jasper asked.

"I was afraid, I knew that they were going to kill Edward or try; and I knew that they were going to take me and I didn't want to lose Edward, or have to leave Charlie again" She said and she started to sob, I took her hand in mine and Esme wrapped a protective arm around Bella.

"In my opinion" Jasper started and we all turn to him "Bella has powers that will manifest, Jacob imprinted on her that may have been the trigger, her powers will continue to grow with time and if she is ever changed by you Edward then she will come into them fully, tonight she was able to channel them and use them to protect you and her, and her emotions I think played a key point it."

"So every time I get upset now I am going to blow people away" she asked.

"I don't think so, I am surprised that for the first time you were able to focus them the way that you did and if I can suggest something" he said turning to Carlisle "I think that we should ask Eleazar to come down and meet Bella"

Carlisle nodded "What do you think" he asked me.

"I think it is a good idea" I hadn't thought of that, but then again I didn't know that my quiet little breakable Bella was wonder woman in flannel and jeans.

"Who is Eleazar" Bella asked and I noticed that her eyes were starting to return back to their normal chocolate brown.

"Eleazar and his family live in Denali, and like us they choose the vegetarian lifestyle. Eleazar has a gift to; he can look at a vampire and know what their special abilities will be if they possess them, and if the gift is strong enough in a human then he can sense it too" I explained to her.

Carlisle had made the call, while I was explaining everything to Bella.

"He is on his way, he will be here in the morning. Emmett, Jasper, Rose and I will go with you when you take Bella back to her house in the morning, Esme and Alice will stay here and wait for Eleazar" he told me.

"Go back" Bella asked and I could read the fear in her face.

"Charlie has to see you in the morning Bella, then you can play sick and we'll come back here" I told her gently caressing her face trying to remove the fear.

"Ok" she said, and she laid her head against me and I could feel Jasper manipulating her and putting her to sleep. But then Jasper staggered backwards into the chair his eyes shutting for a moment before he jumped up again.

"What the hell Bella" he said half amused half shocked.

"I don't want to go to sleep" Bella said yawning. "Or I can at least do it on my own".

"Bella, what did you do" I asked her trying not to laugh, Jaspers thoughts were all over the place, Vampires don't sleep but he about had his first nap in over a hundred years and he wasn't happy about it.

"I didn't want to go to sleep and I could feel Jasper trying to soothe me to sleep so I just pushed it away" she said, and then it hit her, she giggled "Oops sorry Jasper".

"Its ok Bella, but I am once again impressed" Jasper said, and then shook his head as if trying to clear it.

"Trying to shake off the nargles" Emmett laughed.

"What" Jasper asked.

"Emmett's reading Harry Potter again" Rose laughed, leave it to my brother to always find the humor in any situation.

"Think she can do it again?" Carlisle asked.

"I don't know, we can try" I said. "Jasper send something to Bella" I told my brother and then turning towards Bella "Love you push it away but see if you can send it to someone else" she nodded and looked at Jasper waiting for his attack.

Emmett was snickering in the corner, when all of a sudden he came running at me; jumping into a defensive stance he grabbed me and started hugging me, trying to kiss me.

"Emmett, get off me, what the hell" I said pushing a shocked Emmett away, as my family laughed hysterically.

"Jasper" I yelled. "What the hell was that about".

"Payback" he told me

"I took Bella's feeling for you and multiplied them and sent them back to her, and she well, she sent them to Em" he said trying hard not to laugh, "Sorry" he said chuckling.

I threw a pillow at him he ducked and it hit a vase and shattered it, Esme looked at both of us and we sat down quickly.

"Sorry" we both said.

"Well Bella, you surely are an amazing girl" Carlisle said and I couldn't agree more.


AN: Next chapter comes tomorrow, Eleazar will be in Forks, and also the wolves might not be Bella's only threat….who else might be interested in her?
