Bella POV
This place was strange. All I seemed to do was float around. It was like I was free I could fly and dive into the sea but not be affected by ant of it. It was like I was a ghost. I have no sense of time but every so often I feel different things. I can't remember when it started but I first felt warmth and saw fire for a while then I felt moisture in the air and the water became more real, and just I could smell all of the trees, the grass and the earth around me. This place was like a haven but the things I could see were not all the things I could hear or feel or smell. But since I felt the presence of the earth, water and fire, it was like those three had begun to bring things to life. But something was wrong, some things were missing, and I wanted Peter with me, where is he? I'm all alone.
Peter POV
Charlie, we waited for Charlie he was another who could help. I felt so useless around. But I felt inside of me I couldn't leave her as much as I wanted to find this guy my heart felt like it was tied to Bella's really tightly so I couldn't leave her side. I knew that anyway I would never leave her. She was my life and I never want her to fell alone, hated and abandoned ever again. Fifteen days seemed such a long time but thirty even further. It had been over a month already since she had helped Edward out and another month to go. I didn't realise this would work until I dosed off a few days after Helga had visited. My dreams were strange but they brought Bella to life.
****Peter's Dream****
I was walking around in this place it seemed full of the raw elements in separate areas but I couldn't feel any wind. I looked around me and near to a place that looked like a huge fog I saw Bella. "Bella!" I shouted she turned and smiled at me. Then shot off into the fog with bright white wings on her back. I ran towards the fog but as I reached I was stopped by an invisible barrier. I could feel I wasn't to go into the fog so I yelled for her again "Bella, it's me Peter! Where are you?" I took three steps back and Bella came flying out of nowhere towards me she picked me up and hugged me.
"Is it really you? Peter I've missed you so much, I felt alone all this time I didn't think I would see you." I hugged her back
"I will never leave you Bella I love you." She looked at me tears glistening in her eyes and a huge smile on her face
"Good because I love you too." She whispered then we kissed passionately.
As we kissed the ground shook beneath us and I felt myself fading "No, Peter please don't leave me. Bring me back. Peter bring me to life, I-I feel dead here." Bella begged as I felt myself fading
"I'll be back for you I promise I'm by your side all the time and if it helps remember I love you more than anything in the world and I never want you to be alone ever again." The ground shook even more and I felt myself leave Bella's realm
****End of Dream****
"Peter wake up dammit." I was being shaken by Jasper my brother
"What, what's up?" he looked majorly peeved
"What's up? That's all you have to say! What's up! Peter you've been sleeping for the past three days and you keep calling to Bella. What's up with that?" I looked around to see the rest of my new family looking worried "I saw Bella I was dreaming I was with her in this place. The place was like it was full of raw elements. Bella was glowing with that all around her she looked at home but things were missing I don't see how but things were unsettled and broken..." They all just looked at me with disbelief
"I see I have come at the right time then if you are dreaming of her then Bella is almost awake and she will be soon if you let me see to her." An English voice spoke out
I looked at a man dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with a leather jacket "Who are you?"
"I am Charlie an I have come to bestow the next elemency gift upon young Bella here as you have dreamed Bella is in the spirit realm, her spirit realm to be specific, and she has grown strong enough to allow you passage there which is a good sign," Charlie paused "But you say some things are missing or broken; well my young friend that is because she is not complete in herself but with my help she will be one step closer to completeness."
"How did she- I mean how could Bella take me to her spirit realm I only dosed off?""
"Well my boy I'm afraid that in a spirit realm you can stay for aeons of time but only think of it as a day because there is no sense of time. You become overwhelmed by the raw powers around you. Now then shall we get on with bringing lovely Bella back to you?" I nodded and Charlie came closer.
Charlie rubbed his hands together creating a yellowish glow and placed his hands on Bella's arms. Charlie then recited in majestic tones "With this we would be stranded, have no sense of direction and no way of knowing what to do next may it give Bella back her path in life. I return Wind to this vessel. May Wind's spirit find its way back to you." Bella's mark had been added to now with a yellow mark all that was left was a horizontal bar in the middle of her mark that remained black. "My part had been done Bella with be visited by her grandmother Charlotte Swan to restore her spirit within the next fifteen days and she will return to you."
"Wait Charlotte Swan is dead how can she visit Bella?" Carlisle asked
"My friend Charlotte Swan was a great woman who possessed the power of the spirit but even though she is dead she can come back. We have all heard of Bella's strength that brought back Madeline and her story has already been told earth wide she is the most talented elemental ever known. So you should know that a dead spirit can be brought back of only for a short time. So please don't be alarmed if you see a soft white glow around Bella it is only Charlotte and to show Bella is back the bar on her mark will glow white then wait for a little longer and Bella will be alive once again." He declared joyously. "Thank you this means a lot to me and my family." I stood up and told Charlie. We shook hands
"She will be back before the next full moon which is in three days time on the night of the full moon watch her something amazing will happen," He whispered to me grinning "Now I must return to England I have other duties to attend to I wish you all the best Peter and goodbye." Charlie disappeared like dust in the wind leaving a slight breeze as he left. I couldn't wait Bella and I would be back with-in the next three days.
The others looked at me with curiosity "What did he tell you Peter?"
"No I'm not saying and Edward you cannot probe my mind for the answers my shield is always protecting my mind. All I will say is Bella's coming back very soon." I stood there grinning like an idiot but I didn't care my love, Bella was coming home.
Bella POV
I stood looking at where Peter had just vanished, vanished from my world and vanished from my mind. Tears threatened to overspill my body shook and I felt myself hit the floor he had left. I know he promised to be waiting but I couldn't see myself getting to him or him to me. I felt the flow of the elements around me, they got stronger and I felt the earth tremor beneath me. I thought it was because of my tears but then I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Isabella why are you crying?" no it couldn't be, Grandma? I looked up and there she was smiling but her eyes full of concern.
"Oh Gran!" I got up and flung my arms around her I cried even harder for my loss of Peter and my Gran returning to me.
"Shh my young one shhhh my warrior. You have been so strong without me and you have discovered your heritage. I didn't think you had the gift because powers are seen in child young in age. My dear you are quite extraordinary possessing the all of the elements no one else does and I knew you would because you have always been strong." She told me
"I never saw myself without you, you've been my permanent you were never angry when I got into fights you took me to boxing classes to control my anger, and I never understood why you always seemed to be waiting for something. I just don't want you to go. Please don't leave me tell me how to get out of here tell me how I can find Peter and bring you with me." I begged her
"My darling your mother has been helping you I know she's been around and all of the troubles you've had with the Cullens but you can heal. I've been with you and I've seen you fall in love with Peter and he is a remarkable young man. What you share will last for an eternity of time." She reassured me
"How do you know? All the time I avoided the Cullens, Edward had planned such horrible things and then refused to admit that I wasn't me he-"
"He thought you were Miss Madeline, I know he saw me at the hospital as I was dying and recognised me." Gran interrupted
"But how you said you had only met him once."
"That was Carlisle and his wife hunting I met young Mr Cullen when I my mother worked for Madeline when I was her age. She was her nanny way back then don't forget I moved here to America and met my husband your grandfather John. He was courting or dating as you now know it Miss Madeline she being fifteen years older than me but he never forgot a face. Edward knew me the second we arrived at hospital if he didn't recognise my appearance he recognised my scent so seeing you with me would have been a huge shock. I couldn't believe it was him either; he hadn't changed since I had last seen him. Then I realised he had taken the name of Cullen and was a vampire."
"But Gran how did you see all of this happening"
"My element is the strongest inside of you because I raised you to embrace it, spirit. Now through the spirit many things can be seen heard or created as you found out with Madeline. Through spirit I watched you. Remember I will always be watching you, but you cannot bring me back," Gran looked me in the eye "You cannot bring me back do you hear me Isabella?"
"Yes, but why can't I?"
"Because I as much as I love you need to stay where I am my time has been and I have enjoyed every moment of it and all the time I spent raising you I have treasured so trust me please don't forget me but don't remember me ill. Remember our trips together and the crazy times we had because that's what keeps you strong. Love increases your spirit and that's your strongest as you went to it first. The bracelet I gave you will help in times of need but now your mark has shown you don't have to use it but wear it as a reminder of me."
"I will I promise you I will never forget." I had a feeling our time was up and tears flooded out of my eyes.
"Good but don't cry I will always be here and here," She pointed at my heart and my head "So I'll never really be gone and I will be in your dreams and in this, the realm of elementals, watching you."
"Does this mean I'm waking up?"
"Yes child it does," Gran smiled at me and gave me a hug when she stepped back she rubbed her hands together and they glowed, they glowed a bright white colour "Time to bring you to life. With this I complete her form and give her life, prosperity and happiness. I return spirit to this vessel. May it she find her way back to life." She finished by putting her hands on my arms and everything around me glowed, it all had life and I felt them all around me taking me back "I love you Gran." I shouted as she disappeared into the fog which I now realised was spirit's true form.
The next thing I know I'm in a strange room with Peter beside me asleep in a chair. He suddenly jolts and looks at me. "You're awake!" He exclaims and kisses me with such and intensity I'm knocked back onto the bed I giggled and whispered "Yeah I'm back." Then kissed him back. I heard thuds of feet coming up stairs and then wolf whistles and cheers. When Peter broke our kiss I smile to the others and Emmett said "What took you so long? I've been waiting for arm wrestles off you." We all laughed. I was back. Back to life.
