Chapter 26: Power

BPOV

It only took us a few minuets running through the forest to reach the Cullen's backyard and when we entered it, after phasing back, Emmett and Jasper were already practice fighting with each other. While Emmett had brute strength on his side it was evident immediately that Jasper's experiences gave him an advantage. He was moving with such precision that it stopped all of Emmett's strikes; making him unable to get into a position to win the mock fight.

We all watched in silence taking in every move that they were doing trying to get them into memory. Even though we were not being instructed at the moment there was never too much information to learn when your life is on the line.

The fight went on for a few more minuets when Jasper darted right and shot out his arm punching Emmett so hard in the chest that it sent him flying backward into a tree making it fall in the process. Jasper then rushed to him and had his teeth at the base of Em's throat making it clear that the fight was over leaving Jasper as the victor. Jasper pushed off of Emmett with a huge smile on his face and offered him a hand up which Emmett refused saying that it was just a lucky win. Boy he really was a sore loser; I thought it was just with me.

Alice and Rosalie were talking while sitting on the grass watching their men. As soon as they were finished Alice rushed over to me pulling me into a huge hug before kissing my belly three times.

"Hi babies, its Auntie Alice. I want you to know that I am going to do all of the shopping for you three. You are going to be so cute! I am going to spoil you from the second you are born, yes I am." Alice began talking to my stomach in a baby voice that was so funny coming from her tiny frame that it sent me laughing in hysterics. The others were laughing as well at the tiny hyper vampire that was making funny faces as my still flat stomach.

"Alice, sugar, I think that you need to step away from Bella. The babies can't see you or hear you yet. I know that you are excited, but you still have six more months." Jasper came over and enveloped his wife in a hug trying to get her hyperness to come down a few degrees.

"I know that, I am just so excited. This is the first time that I will have ever gone baby shopping before. It opens up a whole new world for me. I don't even know what all we need, but I will find out because my nieces or nephews are not going without anything." Alice answered back in a slightly calmer voice. Everyone was shaking their head at Alice, knowing that she really did need to think about seeking therapy for her shopping addiction.

"Okay, Alice I promise you, Rose, and Esme will be allowed to help me shop for the babies. Will that make you happy?" I asked.

"Yay!! Thanks Bella." Alice escaped Jaspers grasp and came at me again. I was hugging her when I felt four more cold arms around me. When I looked up I saw Rosalie and Esme now around both of us with looks of pure happiness on their faces.

"Thank you dear I would love to help with the babies." Esme kissed my forehead.

"No problem Esme. I want my babies to know their entire family, both their wolf and vampire sides." I hugged her back and she looked like she could cry if she was able.

"Bella thank you it means a lot to me that you would allow me to be a part of your babies lives." Rose spoke quietly.

"Rose I know that you have always wanted a child, and since that is not possible I want you to be involved in these babies lives as much as possible. Would you like to be one of their godmothers?" I asked shyly because we were still new in this friendship.

"Really?" She asked shocked; and I just nodded.

"I would love too." She cried out hugging me tighter than she was before.

When we finally broke our impromptu group hug we saw all of our men looking at the scene with so much love for us in their eyes. Even though it had only been less than twenty-four hours since the Cullen's had returned I fell right back into the role of daughter and sister with them; like the months of separation we had never even happened. I still was hurt that they left with no goodbyes, but now I felt that we had a bond that did not include Edward at all.

I always felt that I was just Edward's girlfriend; and that while I might be welcome in their home and know their secret, I would always be connected to him in their eyes. We were a package deal, but now I am on my own and know that they love me for me, not for who I am in a relationship with.

One thing that I think makes up for the fact that they literally abandoned me is that I know now that I can stand on my own two feet and survive. Sure I fell apart for a few months, but eventually I moved on and could look at my memories of them all and treasure them. I am so happy that I have been given a chance to share my new family with my old one. My babies really are going to be spoiled with all the love that they are going to receive from these vampires and werewolves.

"Okay I believe it is time to start with some basic training skills that will help us defeat the newborns." Jasper began to take charge, since he had the most experience in battle; as he just showed us.

We all agreed and gave him our full attention creating a circle around him. Again he motioned Emmett to come forward. Emmett came into the middle of the ring with Jasper with a look that he was out for vengeance on his face. I knew that he was going to try and do everything that he could to try and defeat Jasper for his earlier embarrassment.

"I am going to start off with Emmett because newborns are very strong, and since they will likely all be only a few months old their strength will be even more so. Emmett here is the strongest vampire, he uses that strength in battle and it is his main source to try a gain an advantage over his opponent. This type of attack is what the newborns will come with. Maria barely ever trains them other than a few maneuvers. She was always was one for quantity over quality. We will have to learn to be smarter than them. They think with their instincts first and minds last. The goal of training will be to make sure that you do not go for the obvious kill, but for one that will give you the advantage without being injured in the process." Jasper was instructing us on moves for the next few minuets, all in slow motion so we could see the actual process of blocking an attack.

"I know that our venom is deadly to the wolves so one of the main things that you will have to learn to avoid is one of the newborns biting you. It is one of the most natural things in the world for us to bite an oncoming threat; so what you need to do is remove their head as quick as you can with your own claws and mouth while still avoiding their teeth." Jasper had Sam come into the ring with Emmett and had them practice some more techniques without actually having any harm done to either of them.

This was a hard thing to accomplish because it was engrained into our genes to kill all vampires. I could see the restraint and control that Sam had to come up with to not accidentally kill Emmett or Jasper when they came at him; showing us how to defend against multiple attackers.

We each took turns and when it was my round with Jasper and Rosalie I could tell that they were both being extra careful with me in my condition; and it was really starting to piss me off. Yes, I was pregnant, but I was supposed to be this warrior goddess that had to lead them to victory. I did not want babied or coddled in training. I felt the need to take control and show just how powerful I really was and make them understand that they were to follow my lead start to flow through my body. This power was growing inside of me and it was like nothing that I had ever felt before in my life.

I knew what it was like to transform into my wolf, the anger and rage that would consume the body leading the bones and skin to break apart and allowing the animal inside to break loose, but this was like a glowing ice cold energy that I could feel tingling me from the top of my head all the way to the tips of my toes. Running at such a hotter temperature than a human feeling this ice cold sensations made me yelp in surprise causing everyone to turn to me in concern.

"Bella are you okay, I can feel you worry and shock? What's going on Darlin?" Jasper asked feeling my emotions. I didn't care if I was naked my body just took control of itself and transformed back to human in front of everyone. My body was a mixture of sensations that caused me to snap my eyes shut trying to get a handle on this abundance of power that I could feel shooting through every appendage of my body.

"Bella, baby, are you okay? Carlisle what's happening why is she glowing?" Paul asked frantic.

I still had my eyes shut, but it did not seem to matter I could feel and see everyone around me. Their own body's energy or aura was feeding into mine giving me knowledge of their positions. I could see everyone had a different color radiating off of them. All of the Cullen's were startling shades of dark and light blues, mixed with a brilliant gold. The pack was a combination of greens and copper colors. Each unique to the individual that I am sure I could learn to differentiate over time, but my main focus was still trying to gain control of my body to be able to move a limb, but it seemed like I was locked into place.

Through this new ability to see everyone without my eyesight; and I knew that Paul was being forcibly held back from coming to me by Collin, Brady, and Emmett. Jasper was slowly approaching me, but I could sense his hesitation and worry.

Whoa when could I sense others emotions?

"Jasper help me, I don't know what is going on." I was able to whisper out.

"It's going to be okay. I need you to focus on calming your breaths down and just concentrating on hearing my voice." He said coming up closer to me and putting a hand on my arm. I could feel and see the calm energy in a deep purple flow through his hand and into me.

I was also shocked that he did not feel as cold as his skin once was. I was beginning to get control over my fingers a little, with his help. I was holding onto his arm for dear life following his instructions. Still just concentrating on his energy I was able to open my eyes noticing that everyone's energy was even more vibrant with my full vision. Everyone took a gasp and step back when they looked at me; and I was totally confused.

"What the fuck just happened? What's wrong with me?" I asked with a stronger voice laced with hysteria. I could still sense everyone's worry and concern, but now there was awe and complete shock running through the entire group.

"Bella can you tell us what happened, what you were feeling a moment ago?" Carlisle asked approaching me with a little apprehension.

"I was feeling like Jasper and Rose were taking it too easy on me and I felt like they thought that I couldn't handle myself in battle. Knowing that I was suppose to lead them not the other way around all of a sudden a cold energy took over my body and then I phased without any thought process. My eyes were shut but I could still see everything clearly by what I am assuming is your auras. Also I can suddenly sense all of your emotions; they are flowing out of you and into me through so many different colors. I'm scared Carlisle." I explained and tears stared falling down my cheeks. I knew that Paul was struggling against his captors, but until I knew what was going on it was safer if he was not near me. Carlisle reached me and took off his own shirt for me to cover my still naked body.

"I don't sweetheart, but once you phased back you began to glow a brilliant white light and then when you opened your eyes they were a bright almost a silver white color. The only thing I can think of is that this is somehow connected to the prophecy. Let's get you inside and take a break, so that everyone can calm down, okay?" Carlisle asked putting a hand around my shoulder while Jasper began to lead me inside. Everyone followed slowly behind us still radiating concern, but love and wonder were beginning to become the main emotion from everyone and I could pick up on the subtle differences in their auras with reds an purples starting to join the other complimentary colors; creating a tapestry of light around the entire room with one persons energy flowing into another's, and it all seemed to be flowing directly to me, making me feel more powerful. No one else was able to see this like I was and that was a shame because it was a beautiful sight to behold.

As soon as we were in the house Paul rushed to my side and pulled me into his lap as he sat down on one of the couches. He was so scared, that I tried to push as much serenity and love as I could to him through a passionate kiss. He broke off with a gasp and look directly into my eyes in amazement.

"Baby, did you just do that?" Paul asked.

"Do what?" I asked back confused.

"All of a sudden I was filled with so much love and calm that everything I was feeling before just disappeared. Was that you?" He clarified.

"I felt it too Bella. It was like you knew how panicked he was feeling and then as you kissed him his emotions just settled into exactly what you were emitting to him." Jasper spoke up from across the room before I was able to respond.

"I don't know. I could sense how worried Paul was for me and I wanted to show him that I was fine and tried to push that through to him with a kiss. I am guessing it worked. What is going on?" I responded and then turned to Carlisle to ask him.

"Well Bella from what little research I have been able to do in the last few hours there is not much known about this Moon Goddess that the elders were talking about. However, in the prophecy they explained that one of the powers that the babies would have and therefore you would too, is the power to control others minds and actions. Maybe this is just the beginning form of that power. You said that the need to take charge was what started this, correct?" Carlisle asked and I nodded my head in return.

"I am guessing that this is what Billy meant when he told me this morning that I would receive my powers when I was ready to accept them and not before then. When I was waiting for Jasper and Rosalie to attack me I could sense their hesitation about fighting me, but I knew that I could take them and I needed to prove that; and that is when everything started taking over my body." I began talking trying to think everything through to come up with the most logical explanation for the weird turn of events my life had suddenly had thrust into it.

"Well that is a good theory. It is said that you will lead everyone to victory and it must have only been when you embraced this need to take charge did the power become active." Carlisle agreed with me with a look of deep concentration on his face.

"You said that I glowed and my eyes turned silver, do you think that is part of the power? And are they still that color now?" I asked curious for more knowledge on what was happening to me.

"Yes it was like you had a light from the inside that was making your skin radiate a mesmerizing white halo around you. It stunned everyone into silence for a moment and then when you opened your eyes all of you natural chocolate brown color was replaced with I silver color that I hate to say was almost frightening." Carlisle began to answer and I was in shock that something I did could be considered scary.

"Yeah, Bells that shit was totally freaky. Almost like you were possessed or something; if your head had started spinning around and spiting out green pea soup I was going to shit in my pants; even though that isn't even possible." Emmett announced with a look of complete horror on his face at the memories; and this just made me burst out laughing. Only Emmett could take what was happening around him and make it comical.

"I'll be sure to remember to do that the next time Big Bro." I laughed out and was joined with all of the others.

"And to answer your other question as soon as Jasper was able to calm you down your eyes returned to your normal color. Are you still seeing everyone's auras as you call them?" Carlisle began again once everyone had settled down.

"Yes, everyone has a unique colored ring around them, but they are all connected to one point and it seems to be me. I don't know why, but I have the feeling that if I willed it I could cause everyone's emotions to change if I willed it. Also when I first was filled with this power it was like ice began to flow through my veins and I just know that if I concentrate on it I could push it out to everyone, but I just don't know what would happen if I did do that." I tried to explain what I was experiencing.

"That is very interesting Bella. Okay, what I think we need to do is take a short break, I know Esme made some lunch for you all; so lets rest and then this afternoon we will see if we can work on this power Bella while everyone else continues to train." He announced and we all agreed eager for some quiet relaxation, even for a few moments, after the emotional morning we just had.

Esme stood up from her seat next to him and walked into the kitchen; I know that she was in seventh heaven right now being able to cook and take care of all of us. This was her dream come true to have people she could be somewhat of a mother to.

We all stood up a made our way into the dinning room that had a large enough table to hold all of us. I am pretty sure that this is the first time that this table would have been used for its intended purpose. It was only a few minuets before Esme had the entire table filled with all kinds of food that made it almost look like it was a Thanksgiving feast. The guys took little time in making the delicious food she prepared disappear down their mouths. I was just as hungry and made sure that nothing on my plate went to waste. Paul never once let go of my hand, which made eating a little difficult, but I knew that we both needed that connection between us right now.

After everyone had their fill I tried to get Esme to let me help her with the cleanup, but she wouldn't let me near the sink full of dirty dishes; claiming that I needed to rest and that it would only take her a few moments to have everything done. I still felt bad about making her do all of this work for us when she couldn't even enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Eventually around thirty minuets later we all made our way back out to their backyard. While Carlisle, Jasper, and Paul stayed with me the others were going to head out to the baseball clearing where we had first met Victoria last year because it had more room for the others to practice together.

"Okay, Bella I want to see if we can push this new power out from you to affect any of us. It might only work on werewolves or vampires, but we need to know what exactly you can manipulate. Jasper can feel your emotions; so he is going to help you try concentrating on them and give you instructions on manipulating them." Carlisle began and Jasper came up to stand in front of me.

"Bella, darlin, I want you to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths trying to make yourself as calm as possible." He instructed and I followed his commands.

The more deep breaths I took the more I was able to concentrate less on the different colors and emotions around me, but focus on the cold energy that was laying dormant deep within me, waiting for me to use it.

"Good, now I know that you have found your center. I want you to expand it within you. Let it take over yourself like it did before, but this time I want you to stay calm and take control of the power." Jasper whispered into my ear and I trusted him completely; so I followed his orders.

I could feel the coolness starting to flow through my veins almost like it was strengthening them as it weaved a path through my body. The power was growing and I felt like I could do anything, everything would bend to my will, if I wished it.

"I can feel your confidence and the power beginning to take over you and I want you to continue to feel that. You are also emanating that glow for all of us to see; and that's good. Stay focused and once you feel that you are in complete control test to see what emotions we are feeling. Can you do that?" Jasper was talking and I nodded my head in confirmation that I would follow what he was instructing me to do.

Taking a few more deep breaths I opened up my new ability to test the emotions of the others and I could see that everyone was emitting curiosity, wonder, worry, and love. There was also a spike of lust that I could feel; and I knew it came from Paul seeing me like this. I nodded my head again when I was reading to continue.

"Okay, now I want you to start with Carlisle. I know that you can feel like me he is emitting an immense amount of wonder and curiosity, I want you to change his emotion to one of panic and fear." Jasper instructed.

Seeing his light blue color mixed with a bright gold that I knew meant he was relatively calm I pushed as much fear towards him as I could muster. It left me in a pulse of bright orange, that when it hit him it mixed with his original aura. I could sense his emotions changing rapidly. I knew that I was successful in my attempt because he was shaking in his spot and his aura was now growing dimmer with orange fear becoming the main colored energy around him.

"Very Good Isabella, you are doing wonderfully. I can feel how terrified Carlisle is. Now I want you to calm him back down with a sense of security and peace." Jasper praised.

Everyone was still silent, just watching me. I again focused only on Carlisle and sent the peaceful blue and gold colors of serenity to him. I could feel him relax as his aura regained its original hues. I was extremely proud and impressed with my new power.

"That was great. Now I want you to try the same thing on Paul and me. Hold us in fear for a few minuets and then calm us down." Jasper continued his role of teacher.

I followed his instructions and it seemed to work perfectly; and with each attempt that I made, I could feel the power grow within me. Soon I began to try it on all three of them at the same time with different emotions, to see if I was only able to project one emotion at a time or many. I was successful at influencing multiple attackers' emotions.

Jasper then wanted to see if this power would allow me the advantage of controlling their physical actions along with their emotions. This skill was harder because as they would advance on me I had to project my desire for them to turn around in the opposite direction, stop completely, or fall on the ground and kneel before me. It was extremely tiring to stop all three of them at once, but I was able to combat every one of their advances towards me.

At the end of a few hours of doing this I was barely able to keep my eyes open. The others had returned to watch me in complete awe. They joined in a few times, but as the sun was beginning to set I knew that I was spent for the day. Jasper knew this too and said that it this was a great start.

I knew that he was extremely excited and relieved that my powers would give us an advantage over the newborns. If I could change their emotions and stop their movements it would give everyone else the chance to rip them apart.

Paul was so proud of me and I knew that he was just glad that I could defend myself in the coming battle. When we got back to our house I called my dad and the elders to let them know of the new developments. Afterwards Paul made the boys and me some tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner before we all settled down in the game room to watch some football that was on. I was asleep within a few minuets having exhausted myself.
