Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. My laptop died and I had to send it away to be fixed. :-(

song for this chapter----The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Your Guardian Angel

We drove to first beach and pulled up next to where quil and embry were sitting on a fence.

''are all the guys down here this big?'' Erik asked, eyeing the two boys.

I laughed ''only the wolfs''

''hey baby'' quil winked as I got out.

I smiled ''hey guys, this is Erik night. Erik, this is Quil Ateara and embry call''

we all walked down the beach towards where everyone was gathered round a partially built fire.

''Bella!'' Jake called as he spotted us.

He jogged over to us and pulled me into a hug.

''how are you feeling?'' he asked with his face in my hair.

''cant...breath'' I choked

stark growled from behind me.

''sorry'' Jake said letting me go.

''I'm feeling better'' I told him as I took stark's hand and continued down the beach.

''hey wolf girl!'' Paul grinned at me also pulling me into a hug.

''hi'' I said a little awkwardly.

''Paul!'' Jacob said through clenched teeth.

Paul released me and smiled ''even when you smell like leech your still amazing''

I didn't no what to say ''um...''

stark took a step forward.

I grabbed his hand ''no! Its OK''

giving Paul a strange look I pulled stark along the beach with Erik following.

''what the fuck Paul?'' I heard Jacob hiss ''what was that about?''

I didn't hear his reply.

''yeah, what was that about?'' stark asked with his eyebrow raised

I shook my head ''I have no idea''

''seems like you've got quite a fan base!'' Erik said

stark gritted his teeth. I leaned up and kissed his cheek.

''don't let it bother us''

he relaxed a little and nodded.

''hey Bella, hey guys'' Sam said as we reached him. ''thanks for coming. I'm Sam by the way'' he added to Erik.

''Erik night, nice to meet you'' he replied shaking his hand.

''Bella can I borrow these two to help me gather more wood?'' Sam asked

stark put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

''don't worry, quil will be good. I promise'' Sam told stark.

''its not quil I'm worried about!'' he replied looking behind us to where Jacob was still talking to Paul.

''Jake? He and Bella have sorted it out''

''Paul'' stark said in icy tones

Sam looked confused ''Paul? What about him''

''Paul seems to have got a thing for Bella'' Jacob said as he joined us.

Great! Another one to add to the collection. I thought to myself.

''great! Another one to add to the collection'' stark said

I burst out laughing.

Everyone looked at me alarmed

I rolled my eyes and pulled stark to one side. I turned to face him and jumped up, wrapping my legs around him.

''we think alike'' I told him and slowly kissed his lips.

I could feel the tension in his lips.

Pulling back I frowned at him and tried again. This time lightly running my tongue along his lower lip.

He groaned and the tension instantly vanished.

I smiled against his lips.

''I'll be there in a minute Sam'' stark called over to where everyone was now stood talking.

Sam smiled and rolled his eyes.

''what was wrong in the truck?'' stark asked me quietly.

''what do you mean?''

he carried me over to some large rocks and sat me down, Standing in-between my legs.

''in the truck you looked shocked for a minute and swerved in the road'' he said running his fingers lightly down my cheek.

''it was nothing'' I shrugged

he raised his eyebrow ''Bella. We have two different kinds of imprint between us. I know when your lying!''

I tilted my head ''how? I cant tell when your lying''

''That's because I don't lie'' he smiled ''but if I did you would no''

I thought about it for a second ''lie to me'' I asked

he laughed ''I've never heard that before''

''please, I want to know if I can tell''

I kissed me gently

''I want Edward and I to become life long friends'' he said with a grin.

Something inside me felt strange. Like my insides knew he wasn't being truthful.

''wow'' I said ''that strange''

''I no. so what was it then? In the truck''

I half smiled at him ''I thought I heard Nyx speak to me. Inside my head''

he nodded ''I expect she did. She speaks to some vampyre's sometimes too''

I felt relived.

''feel better?'' he asked

I nodded and pulled him closer ''much'' I kissed him, pushing all my feelings

I had towards him.

He began to deepen the kiss.

''hey!'' someone shouted behind us. We broke apart and turned around.

''I asked you come and collect wood not get wood!'' Sam laughed

everyone laughed. I blushed.

Stark gave me one last peck and helped me get off the rock.

''Bella will you help Emily with the food when she gets here'' Sam asked

I nodded ''sure'' Emily was sams fiancé. I hadn't met her yet but Charlie said she was a nice girl.

Sam, stark,Erik, Jacob, and quil all headed into the forest to gather as much wood as they could.

I sat down on a long log and stared off over the water.

''mind if I join you?''

I looked up. Into the smiling face of Paul.

''uh.... OK'' I said. I didn't want to offend him.

He sat down beside me on the log and leaned in closer to me.

I really didn't want stark to come back and see us both sat here watching the sunset together.

''so...'' I said. Leaning away a little.

''how long have you been with the bloodsucker?'' he asked without looking at me.

''not long. And please don't call him that. I don't like it!'' I said trying not to get mad.

''yeah, I heard you get a little protective'' he said nudging me.

I smiled, knowing what Jake had said about the pack laughing at him for being scared of me.

''yeah I guess I do''

''I also hear that you've got a bit of a temper'' he turned to face me.

For some reason the intensity of the stare made me blush.

''only recently'' I said trying to tare my gaze away.

''I have the same problem'' he said and lowered his eyes. ''I was the third person to phase ans I'm the only one who still cant control it. I'm weak''

he put his head down.

I felt sorry for him.

''its not like I asked for this! Its not like I wanted to not be in control of how angry I get''

''is that what it is? Your angry because you became a wolf!'' I asked quietly

he shrugged his huge shoulders ''maybe... I dunno. I just feel angry all the time and when something or someone makes it worse I cant control it''

I thought about it.

So it was a mental thing. Not a wolf thing.

I sighed and put my arm around his back.

''anger is natural Paul. You are not weak! Stuff like this is never easy. Look at me, I'm not what you could call a ray of sunshine. I have anger issues too and this thing with you will stop eventually. I'm just going to keep going till I can do everything you can think of''

the others were returning from the forest with wood. I turned to seek out stark before he got the wrong idea.

He spotted us and narrowed his eyes.

'were just talking. He's a little upset. Trust me'' I sent to him.

He smiled and winked before going to set up the fire with the others.

''I forgot about that, sorry'' Paul said looking down at me. ''what is the coolest thing you can do?'' he asked with a small smile.

''I can turn in to a wolf!'' I grinned

he laughed ''small world me too. Seriously though''

I thought for a second.

''mind control is cool. But also being able to feel and send emotions is awesome''

''send me some'' he said perking up a bit

''what kind?'' I laughed

''surprise me''

I focused on him and sent him a wave of calm. Much like jasper had done for me many times in the past.

I felt Paul physically relax beside me.

''That's amazing'' he sighed looking like he didn't have a care in the world.

I laughed loudly making everyone turn to look at me.

''do something else'' he asked

I sent him a wave of paranoia just for my own amusement.

''what are you doing? What did you do? Stop it!'' he panicked

I eased it off and continued to laugh.

''that was strange'' he shuddered ''do another''

this time I sent trust to him.

He smiled and put his head on my shoulder.

I stopped sending trust and changed it to respect.

Suddenly he sat up ''I have an idea!'' he said with a grin.

''what?''

''lets mess with the pack. I'll sit by you later and tell you who and what emotion to use. It will be hilarious''

I had to agree with him. It would be funny.

''your on'' I laughed

''now how about you try mind control on me'' he said wiggling his eyebrows.

''oh my god! Paul That's it. Your brilliant'' I gasped

''thanks for the complement babe, but what did I say?''

I rolled my eyes ''I can try and take the anger away using mind control''

he looked stunned for a minute ''would it work?''

''I don't see why not'' I told him

''do it'' he said eagerly

''I'll try. Close your eyes''

he closed his eyes. He was a really hansom boy. I shook my head and closed my own eyes.

I concentrated on him and began searching his mind.

Thoughts and memory's flashed in front of my eyes.

A small boy riding a bike, a woman reading a story at night time. A man slamming his fist down on the table. The same woman from before cowering next to a bed.

I focused on what made him angry.

It was no wonder he was filled with this kind of rage. His father was abusive and beat him and his mother.

My heart was breaking for him. I sent him a mixture of pride and happiness.

I took a deep breath.

It would be easy enough to do. All I had to do was make the anger go away.

But leave enough for him to be able to get angry if he wanted to.

Here goes!

I took all the anger and rage I thought was bad for him and removed it.

The anger that was left was what I usually saw if I looked into anyone's mind.

'Paul!' I mentally shouted at him as I saw a flash of a thought.

It was me laid on a bed with him on top of me doing some seriously naughty things.

'whoa! Bella I can here you'

'I no you can, you perv!'

he mentally laughed 'wait. It gets better'

I knew without a doubt that my face would be bright red.

The scene shifted 'this is my favourite part right here' he said

I was on my hands and knees in front of him while he was behind me holding me my my hips and pounding in and out of me.

'Paul!'

'what? Making you twitchy? Wet?' he asked huskily

'I was thinking more along the lines of embarrassed or invaded'

'well I was certainly invading that space'

'oh ewe ewe, stop now!' I eased out of his mind and opened my eyes.

We were surrounded by the pack and stark and Erik.

''what were you doing?'' asked stark and Sam at the same time.

''watch! You'll see'' I told them ''Paul. Open your eyes''

he opened his eyes and grinned widely at me.

''I'm really going to enjoy this. Focus on being in control'' I said.

He winked and nodded.

I stood up pulling him with me.

''ready?'' I asked

he looked puzzled but nodded.

I brought back my hand and slapped him as hard as I could.

He went flying over the log and collapsed in a heap on the sand.

Everyone took a step back.

''ow! That hurt'' he said standing up.

I took a step towards him.

''no, Bella'' Sam stopped me. Expecting Paul to phase.

I smiled smugly and looked at Paul ''hows that anger?''

he looked down at his hands ''I'm in control. I didn't phase. Bella you did it''

he ran over to me and pulled me in to a hug. My feet were about a foot and half of the ground and he spun me around in a circle.

''thank you, Bella'' he said setting me back down on my feet and kissing my cheek ''I owe you big time for this Bella and I promise from now on I will try and keep my thoughts of you pg13''

I rolled my eyes.

''can one of you just fucking fill us in already'' Jake asked looking between us

''Bella used mind control to take away my anger so I can control my phasing'' Paul explained.

I moved over to stark and slipped my hand in his.

He leaned down and kissed me sweetly. ''that was a nice thing to do. I felt everything you felt and I'm proud of you''

''I love you'' I whispered

he kissed me again ''I love you too''

we all made our way over to the now built fire.

Emily arrived with the food and I went to help her set everything up.

She was lovely. We hit it off straight away. She had three scars down the right side of her face. She told me they came from an accident with Sam when he first phased.

The fire was lit and we all sat down on the logs and rocks spread around it.

''this is nice'' stark whispered as I settled myself between his legs.

I stared in to the fire, Amazed at the beautiful colour.

A lot of people don't know that if you burn beach wood it turns the flame blue. It's because of the salt from the sea or something.

As I continued to stare at the dancing flame I began to feel strange.

Like I was not real!

Everyone around me was fading until it was only me and the fire.

I looked around and jumped when I saw that I wasn't actually alone with the fire.

Nyx was sitting cross legged beside me with her eyes closed.

''blessed be. Isabella'' she smiled with her eyes still closed.

''hello, Nyx''

she opened her eyes and smiled again.

''I am proud of you daughter. You have handled the situation beautifully''

I blushed a little ''thank you Nyx''

''you journey is not over yet my dear. I am afraid it is only the beginning''

her beautiful face looked tinged with sadness.

''what do I have to do?'' I asked

''you are not afraid?''

''no. I have friends who will help me through anything and the love of my life keeps me happy and calm''

''you are truly a unique being Isabella''

I blushed again.

''what you did today for your friend, was proof of why I picked you''

I looked at her and was surprised to see her holding a small rodent like animal.

It looked like a naked mall rat except cuter.

''this is a vime! Nobody in this world knows they even exist'' she said while stroking the hairless creature.

I didn't know what to say so I kept quiet.

''the reason why nobody knows about them is because they can not go anywhere near the sunlight. And since they are not the cleaverest of the rodent world they do not no to come out in the dark''

I reached out a hand and stroked my finger down the tiny creatures back.

''this one here has been exceptionally upset because he is scared of the dark'' she continued.

''to have to stay in darkness is horrible for him and I now know what other creatures of the night might be feeling. Daylight brings happiness and normality''

she turned to me and smiled. Her dark eyes shined in the fire light.

She handed me the vime.

The creature made a noise like a wheeze and snuggled its head into my hand.

''why cant they go out in the light?'' I asked.

''their skin is too delicate to stand even the slightest amount''

I frowned and looked down. The vime really was adorable.

It had big round brown eyes and a tiny black nose. Its ears were small and pointy and it was about the size of my palm.

''he looks like a cartoon'' I laughed

''time for a change I think!'' the goddess smiled widely, showing her perfect teeth.

She leaned forward and placed the middle finger of her right hand on the vime's head, just above its eyes in the middle.

''watch closely'' she told me.

Then placed the fingers from either side of that finger on the vime's closed eyes.

''darkness no more!'' she whispered and sat back.

''so he can come out in the day now?'' I asked amazed

''his and all the other vime's in the worlds skin has just changed. They can now come out if they wish''

I continued to stroke the little vime in my hand

''I think he wished to stay with you'' she laughed

I smiled ''fine with me''

''I'll be seeing you. Isabella'' the goddess whispered as she began to fade.

''goodbye Nyx''

''remember what you saw!'' she said before vanishing.

I looked up. Everyone was back around the fire.

The vime wheezed in my hand.

''what the hell is that and where did it come from?'' stark asked startled.

''shhhhh!'' I kissed his cheek ''I just had a visit from Nyx''

''you did? What did she say?''

''I'm not going to tell you now. But I will show you later''

he looked confused.

''your going to love what I just learned to do!'' I told him as it clicked in my head why Nyx showed me how to cure something that cant go out in sunlight.

I was going to do the same to stark!
