SADLY, I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT!

A/N- I was feeling extra creative this time around and changed the story's time line completely extending the story. This was going to be the next to the last chapter until this idea popped into my head causing me to scrap the end of the time line and write this so this is just another chapter not second to the last. I hope you enjoy this one I am excited to hear what you think. Please review after you read the chapter. I don't usually stray from a timeline of a story once I have established it but I loved this idea! I don't know how this story will end now but I will figure it out. Maybe the story will have a possibility of a sequel now.

***Thanks to my reviewers for your kind words! This chapter is dedicated to you all!

Bella's POV (flashes of the past in Italics)

I slipped out of the window and glided to the earth below I was still amazed at how graceful I had become. I had never been anything but a klutz as a human. I vaguely remember how I used to fall and all the bumps and bruises. I smiled at the thought of the fragile creature I used to be. Humans are fascinating though although they are so delicate they are still capable of great things. They can be so courageous or so treacherous.

I thought lovingly of my Uncle Charlie as he was one of the most courageous humans I know. He never compromised on what was right and the town's people knew where their beloved Chief Swan would stand on almost every issue that arose. He kept the peace in the sleepy little town of Forks. He was just a genuinely good person. I had asked Alice to watch out for his future so I could obliterate any threat to his safety.

Edward enveloped me in a soft hug pulling me from my reverie. I smiled and returned the embrace and laid my head on his shoulder. We stood like marble statues in our embrace. All the rest of the world melted away and it was just us. That's was the way it was for Edward and I as long as we were together we could handle anything. We finally broke our embrace and strolled off in to the forest together hand in hand to our favorite place in the world. I felt like I was flying. I had everything I wanted right at my finger tips and this time I was a vampire now. I had forever with Edward. I grinned as that thought warmed my heart. We stopped in our meadow and stood facing each other leaning into one another just enjoying our time together. He finally pulled away looking into my eyes flashing me that crooked smile that I loved so dearly. I returned his smile briefly but then I felt a strange dizzy fog overtaking me. I began seeing a very different Edward and it terrified me.

I saw Edward perched on a low hanging eave just above two human males. He was staring intently at them as they where dragging a woman's body into an alley. He creped closer and crouched in the alley becoming enraged as he watched the pair of men rifling through her bloody handbag and pockets. They were splitting the valuables that she had carried one took a golden pocket watch and $5 and the other took her locket ripping out the picture it contained and the remaining $5. They sat over the woman's broken body arguing over who was taking her wedding ring. I saw Edward's eyes they were tortured as the woman reminded him of his own mother. He was growling the menacing sound reverberated off the buildings and filled the alley with an eerie echo. He had enough of their thoughts and their conversation he felt an unspeakable rage overtake him as they thought of the poor woman's final moments. He sprang with a murderous snarl and landed on the first man's back, pinning him to the ground as he dug his knees into the man's back, he swiftly grabbed the other one be the throat and dragged him to face his wrath. There was a terrified screech as the murderer staring wildly in to Edward's angry red eyes. Edward glowered at him as the man struggled to wrench himself out of Edward's grasp. He was unable to manage words as Edward choked the life out of him. Edward watched unfazed as the futile struggles of the thief grew weaker and finally ceased completely. Then I watched my beloved as he brought the lifeless body to his mouth quickly draining him in seconds as the man beneath him wailed with terror.

The other man begged for his life as Edward tossed the lifeless corpse of his accomplice aside and hauled the him close to his face and sneered, "I'll show you as much mercy as you showed her." He gestured toward the murdered woman's mangled corpse.

"Please!" the man whimpered as he quivered with fear.

"She said that you were unfazed. She begged for her life and for the life of her unborn child but you showed no mercy. You slashed her repeatedly then laughed at her as she gurgled and choked, at the muted screams that froze in her throat as she drowned in her own blood. No! There will be no mercy for you this night. Tonight you will meet a fate much worse fate than hers." Edward said. I watched in horror as Edward wrenched the criminal's arms from their sockets, a tortured shriek pierced the night air and then was cut off as Edward's teeth sunk in to the delicate flesh of the beastly man's neck. The man went limp in Edward's grasp as the last drops of blood were drained form him. Edward dropped the body and replaced the woman's ring on her finger and the locket back around her neck. He tucked the money and the pocket watch back in to her handbag and laid it gently into her arms.

"I wish I could have gotten here sooner. I could have saved you." He murmured to the dead woman before disappearing into the night.

I wretched and gagged, I felt nauseous. Edward was staring at me concerned. There was a look I had never seen on Edward's face while he was alone with me. It was disgust and self loathing.

"Bella, I'm so sorry! I never intended for you to ever know about that. I was a different being then. I am ashamed of that time in my life." He groaned dropping his head into his hands miserably.

"Edward we all make mistakes. From what I saw those men deserved everything the got and probably more. Your past is just that, the past. Like you said you are a different being now. I love you." I said.

"How are you not disgusted be me? I am disgusted with my self." he said staring intently at me.

"I know who you are and you aren't that person anymore Edward. You are kind, compassionate, and loving. I love you. Even then I saw the compassion for that poor murdered woman and you avenged her. No more talk about the vision. You can read my thoughts now?" I told him.

"I lost it! I can't read your thoughts anymore! It was only when you were having the vision from my past that I could see your thoughts. I'm locked out again." he said frowning.

I laughed, "Let's go talk to Carlisle!"

As we entered the house we were met by Emmett who jerked me into a tight hug. "Hey Little Sis'" he crowed.

I laughed and allowed him to hold me as much fun as it would be to annoy him now was not the time. Then he held me at arms length and looked at me as I looked back at him I felt the same strange dizzy feeling from the meadow begin to creep over me.

I saw a human Emmett lumbering along, hiking through the under brush completely oblivious to the bear loping toward him. He continued his hike into a clearing just a few feet from the tree line. He finally saw the bear as it stood tall on it's hind legs and roared a earsplitting roar, Emmett tried to run but the bear came down on all fours and lunged at Emmett. The bear pinned Emmett down tearing at his flesh. I could hear his piercing cries as the beast relentlessly tore at him. Emmett put up a valiant fight before he lost consciousness and went limp. I saw Rosalie's panicked expression as she charged the bear and chasing it off. I saw the way she loving looked at him as she gently lifted him into her arms. She ran swiftly back to the house. She was calling frantically for Carlisle as she ran. Carlisle held the door opened as Rosalie ran through it.

Esme gasp and said, "Oh Rosalie, you didn't."

Rosalie choked out the words, "Carlisle, please save him. I need him."

Carlisle bit into Emmett's torn flesh as Emmett groaned in protest followed by three days of agonizing groans and bloodcurdling screams as the pain of changing intensified.

I was shaking violently as I ran to the safety of Edward's room after coming out of the terrible vision. Edward followed but stopped just outside the door to knock.

"Bella, it's me. Can I come in?" He asked cautiously.

"Yes but no one else! I can't take anymore of these visions." I said as the door opened and he stepped inside.

"I heard Emmett trying to comfort me as he stood outside the door, "I'm okay now Bella it's over."

Edward called Carlisle at the hospital and explained the situation and Carlisle came home immediately. He was at the door in fifteen minutes from the time Edward called him. He told us that seeing the past was one of my gifts. He said he had called a friend on the way home and his friend said that I would have to learn to control the visions of the past and that Alice maybe able to help me. I was reluctant to see anyone right now the visions I had already had were horrifying and I didn't want to see anymore. Alice came crashing through the door ignoring Edward's attempts to keep her out. She sat in front of me and I felt that dreaded spacey feeling again.

A shadowy figure loomed in the shadows watching a tiny pixie like girl as she wondered lost in the street alone. She seemed so anxious jumping at every sound.

I realized it was Alice. All I wanted to do was protect her from the looming danger that was stalking her.

The girl could hear someone behind her and she was trying to get somewhere she felt safe. The shadowy figure stepped out of a shadow to reveal himself and said, "May I escort you home, young one? A young thing like you shouldn't be out alone. There are dangers out here in this world that you wouldn't even begin to imagine!"

The small girl accepted his offer and he lead her off. They walked down the street all of a sudden the vampire asked her, "What is your name young one?"

"M-Mary Alice." She stammered.

He chuckled, "Well, Mary Alice. My name is James and I am the danger you would never have imagined. I'm a vampire and I'm going to kill you. It will only hurt for a minute." He said smiling a sadistic smile that terrified the Alice. She turned and ran but James cut her off, so she ran the other way but he was to fast for her. He slapped her like a cat playing with a helpless mouse sending her flying into the air. She slammed into the side of a brick building with a sickening crunch and crumpled in to a small heap on to the ground. She tried to drag herself away but she was dazed and bleeding. He kept laughing gleefully. He hauled Alice up and bit into her neck as another vampire slunk into sight. James dropped Alice and the two vampires collided and began fighting. James easily defeated the other vampire and cursed under his breath as he realized that Alice was beginning to change. He shrieked angrily as he ran off leaving Alice writhing in pain to change alone.

I snapped out of the flashback to a sorrowful scene. Alice lay trembling in Jasper's arms and an anguished grown reverberated in his chest. Everyone else stood motionless as horrified as I was. Edward was holding me as he finished telling everyone what I had just seen. I squeezed my eyes closed tightly because I couldn't handle any more visions from the past and it seemed as if every time I saw someone I had a horrific vision from their past.

Carlisle called for back up, a friend who was once with the Volturi. When he arrived I was exhausted from all the terrifying visions I had had. I had seen Rosalie's final hours as human, Esme's human husband beat her up, find out she had lost her baby and try to commit suicide, and I saw Carlisle being turned and a two hour long haunting vision from Jasper's days as a soldier when with a vampire named Maria. Alice and I were both growling fiercely when I emerged from that vision. I closed my eyes and was careful to keep them closed. Eleazar worked with me and after a vision of him watching a Vampire named Aro destroying an innocent vampire coven to take control of two young vampires who had powers that he deemed useful. The first was a small female who could attack the mind and render her victim helpless by creating the illusion of intense pain and the other was a male about the same age. He could take all sensation from your body. His victims felt and cared for nothing. Those two young vampires joined the Volturi's Guard to avoid their own destruction. I was shuttering in Edward's arms as he once again told the others what I was seeing.

"So that's where they came from." Carlisle thought out loud.

By the time I got to my Uncle Charlie's I could hear him shuffling around his room. I quickly woke Jake and we assumed our pretense as I lay down in my bed and he crept downstairs to his place of the couch. I was careful not to look at Jake because Eleazar had said that was the best way to minimize the risk of having a vision of someone's past. I couldn't believe it. Me? Someone who didn't want to dwell on the past could see everyone's past. Then Eleazar had called this a gift? It felt more like a curse.

I heard my uncle leave the house and gracefully glided down the stairs at fix breakfast for Jake as a kind gesture. I chatted easily while avoid looking at him. He knew something was wrong and for a brief moment we weren't werewolf and vampire we were just Jake and Bella. He turned me around and I dropped my head. He placed a finger under my chin and turned my face to his. "Bella? What's wrong?" he pleaded for an answer. I couldn't answer right away.

I saw him as a young child standing at his father's side at his mother's funeral. He wondered why his mother was in a box and why they were burying her. He begged his father to let her out of the box as tears streaked down his dirt smudged face. Billy tried to explain that she was dead and they were burying her body and that her spirit was no longer in that body. Jake ran away blinded by his tears. He couldn't understand what was happening. He just wanted his mother and she was no longer here. He collapsed on the beach and cried. Billy lifted him in to his lap and cried with him.

I gasped. "I can see your past. When I look at people I can see a flash of a vision or sometimes long visions from their pasts. I can't control it very well and some visions are disturbing. That's why I didn't want to look at you. I just can't handle seeing any more today. I am going to go back to the Cullen's to work on controlling this curse. I'll see you tonight." I said as I heard Edward pull in to the drive.

"Bella? What did you see? When you looked at me you looked sad." He said.

"Jake can we do this tonight? I am only seeing sad or terrifying stuff right now. We will talk tonight, I promise." I said as I escaped out the door.

On the way to the Cullen's house I told Edward about this morning's vision. I told him that I feared it would bring back painful memories for Jake. I also asked him not to repeat my visions today. Yesterday was emotional for everyone because Edward read my visions to everyone. He agreed not to repeat my visions today. As we walked in I braced myself for the horrific visions but as I scanned the room I was pleasantly surprised. No visions came. Eleazar smiled at my confused expression.

"You've already seen in to our pasts so you can control it now. That's the only way one with a gift such as yours can ever control it. Once you have the first vision from a person's past you can control what you see from them." He smiled.

I spent the day trying to dredge up visions much to my dismay. Eleazar explained that it was important for me to be able to control it. He also told me that it was especially important to keep this gift secret for the Volturi as Aro would deem it very important and would try to induct me to the guard if he knew. I finally could conger visions at will and was starting to be able to pull happy memories and sad memories as I decided.

"Would you like to learn to control your shield?" Eleazar asked me.

"Shield?" I repeated.

"You didn't know?" He asked.

"No! None of us did." Edward interjected.

"I would love to learn." I said.

"We'll work on that tomorrow." He smiled.

Jake's POV

Bella arrived home early so I asked her again what she saw this morning. We sat down and took a deep breath..

She looked at me with sorrowful eyes, "Jake I didn't want to bring up painful memories for you."

"Bella! I want to know. You have warned me it will be painful and I still want to know. Remember how it felt when Edward was always trying to protect you? Please don't do that to me. I want to know what you saw!" I said.

"Ok! I saw you as a young child standing beside Billy at your mother's funeral." She said.

"Go on," I urged.

"You begged your father to let your mother out of the box. Billy tried to explain that she was dead and they were burying her body and that her spirit was no longer in that body but you didn't understand what was happening. You collapsed on the beach and cried. Billy lifted you in to his lap and cried with you." She finished.

She pulled me into a hug and gently rocked me as tears flooded down my face. I remembered that as if it where yesterday. I had thought they were burying my mother alive then. I agonized for years until I finally understood the concept of death and dying. I had kept that bottled up inside for so long and it had eaten away at me. It felt so good to finally let go and feel the healing tears flow freely. I knew Bella would never judge me and I could just be me. I truly had my friend back although I know I never lost her in the first place. I was just too stubborn to realize it until now.
