*I do want to apologize I goofed on the last chapter. Kate is not brunette, she is blonde. *smacks her forehead*

So I have fixed her appearance in this chapter. Sorry about that guys. Enjoy!*

All eyes were on Edward as he walked into the room. His eyes were on Bella. He looked like hell. His hair was wet but looked like he just woke up from a twenty year nap. He had redness and dark circles around his eyes. I wondered if he had been trying to cry or he was just rubbing them like crazy.

Edward's eyes flickered to me for a moment and then back to Bella. I got the hint that he was thinking about Bella. His eyes moved from us to his family. Esme was by his side in a second, hugging him tight.

"I want to know what you were talking about Eleazar. You think Bella is a shield?" Edward spoke up, even his voice sounded weak and worn. I shook my head and looked down to Bella. Her eyes were still on Edward.

Eleazar cleared his throat and all eyes were on him again. He smiled at Bella and put his hand out for her to accept. She looked up at me and I smiled, telling her it was okay. I felt a hand on my left shoulder and I knew who it was before I looked. Sam smiled at me as he came down the steps to the living room. Another shift to my right, I felt calm and knew it was Jasper. I glanced over and saw him smiling sideways at me. I smiled back and looked back to Bella, who was now sitting on the couch, with her back towards us. Eleazar had moved to sit in front of her on the coffee table, his eyes directly on her.

"She is a shield, yes." Eleazar smiled at Bella. "Dear Bella let me explain your ability and why our dear Aro wants you so badly." Bella nodded and looked back to me. Our eyes met and I could sense her concern. A wave of calm hit me again and I could see her shoulders relax. Her eyes shot to Jasper and she whispered her thanks. He laughed and waved her on. All eyes were drawn back to Eleazar.

"Dear Aro wants you because you are not affected by our abilities. As you have seen yourself, you are not affected by him, Jane, Kate, or Zafrina. You are even shielding against me which is very intriguing. That's why it took me so long to recognize. You control this, not knowing, in your mind. You block, or as we call it shield, people from entering your mind or control you. There is only one other person I know, that can do something similar. She is a member of the Volturi and she does a physical shield on the person that she's in contact with. Basically she can shield the person against physical contact, divert the attacker on something or someone else." A whisper came around the room and then Carlisle whispered, "Renata! I didn't even think of her."

My eyes shot to Carlisle then back to Eleazar, who was nodding his head. Eleazar's eyes had not left Bella's, "You see Bella, this shield ability you have could be very useful to them if they are fighting a coven that has similar powers as the Cullen's, or the Amazon's. You could be very useful to any vampire coven."

My eyes flickered to Bella, who looked like she was on the verge of tears. Another wave of calm hit me but this time my senses were just too much. I moved towards the couch and sat beside Bella. She looked up at me, smiled weakly as tears ran down her face.

"Bella, sweet Bella, do not cry. We know now what he seeks. We know now what we have to do to protect not only the Cullen's but you." Eleazar smiled sweetly to Bella and wiped one of her tears away.

"Alice, what do you know about this Julius," Edward spoke. My eyes went to him as I followed his view on Alice. Alice smiled as Jasper came to her side. "I don't think it's me you have to ask." Her face turned towards her husband as he smiled down at her.

"As Alice had the vision of the new comer, I had her tell me what he looked like. She described him as tall with long black hair. Said he tied it back but the scar was what set me off." Jasper's eyes came up from Alice to Eleazar and Carlisle.

"I gave him that scar. When I was with Maria she had changed a young man that she believed to be great leader of the new vampires. He was strong welled and aiming to please her," he said in a bitter voice.

"He wouldn't listen to me in directing the new vampires. He wanted them to be wild and untamed. I tried to explain to him that we couldn't do that, they needed stricture, but he wouldn't listen." He sighed and looked down at the floor, "I went to Maria and told her the problem. She said for me to destroy him, but I was tired of killing the young ones. Even though they were untrained and unruly, it was starting to wear on me. I went to talk to him to see if I could reason but he wouldn't listen. One thing leads to another and he got the upper hand on me and got away. We didn't have a tracker at the time and I wasn't as good as I am now about my senses. When Alice described this man to me...I thought of him. When she said his scar was from his right temple to his left cheek...I knew it was him."

"Wait a minute," I turned to face him. "How does he have a scar? You heal just as we do." Jasper smiled as he turned his head towards me. "Yes Jacob we do heal just like you, but I gave him that scar before he was changed. The reason Maria wanted him changed was...he put up a fight with me. He was trying to kill me with a knife that was soaked in salts. Back then, the people believed us to be evil and that salt would kill us. When he lunged at me the third time, I finally got a hold of the hilt and took it from him. He was angry and charged me. I swing my hand that had the knife in it. I hadn't realized what I did until that moment. I had turned the knife around and I cut the young man from his cheek to his forehead. Since it had salt on the blade, even with the change, the wound wouldn't heal right."

"Oh," was all I could say. Edward spoke up then, "So what else do you know about him Jasper?" Jasper walked around the room as if he was contemplating. "I didn't know much about him, he didn't stay long. Now that we know he has an ability, his behaviors have come into light. I thought about this on the way back with Alice, there is a lot now that is explained. He was always drawn to the ones that did have something special about them. I remember one girl that could control fire. He found her and brought her back to camp. Now that I think about it, he always seemed to lead us to ones that had some kind of ability."

I heard a hum from my right and looked at Eleazar who looked like an old man thinking about the past. "That's very interesting. So Aro has found my replacement." Eleazar looked up at Bella and then his eyes shifted towards me. His golden eyes seemed to sparkle with delight, "Then he has no need for me anymore."

Carlisle stepped forward, "What do you mean Eleazar?" Eleazar patted Bella's knee and stood up in a fluid motion. "I'm in the clear, old friend. I have no worries of him trying to take me away from my family." He smiled at Carlisle and then to his family. Edward mumbled, "He could still want better, Eleazar." Eleazar glanced over at Edward as his smile faded. Edward was right though, if Eleazar was better than this Julius, what is to stop Aro from taking him?

Right then, Kate moved forward, towards Bella. She looked down at Bella as her blond hair swayed around her shoulders, "I wonder if you can project?" My brows came down as I tried to figure out what that meant, while staring at Bella. Bella's eyes came to mean and she nuzzled into my shoulder. "What does that mean," Bella's eyes on Kate now.

"Can you push it out of yourself? Shield people around you, like Renata without touch." Kate said still staring at Bella. Bella's voice came out shaky and unsure, "I….I don't know. I…I didn't even know that I could, that I, I don't know." She was shaking by this point. I think it was too much for her to take in. I wrapped my arms around her and rocked her as we sat on the couch.

"Alice, what else did you see," Edward asked to get the attention off of Bella. She was freaking out and needed some time to think. Alice's little voice rang out, "I saw that they are getting everyone together. They had people watching all the clans, as I stated. They weren't bringing the full guard until the Romans moved. Like I said, Aro has the witnesses believing there is an uprising here."

One of the creep-tackular spoke, "They want a war." The other one finished, "We will give them one." As I turned to look at them, I saw their red eyes staring off in the distance. Alice giggled and nodded to them, "Yes, they will have one won't they, Stefan and Vladimir." They both looked at her with smiles that would scare a grown man. Hell, they scared me.

All the talk was interrupted by a knock on the door. Carlisle got to the door in a flash and opened it. I heard him talking to someone. "I don't understand why you are here?" I heard a mumble but couldn't understand it because the voice was so low.

Carlisle stepped back and motioned for the visitor to walk in. A tall looking man walked in with short blond hair. His red eyes looked around until they landed on the Romans. "My lords, I have brought news," as the tall man moved towards them. "What news," one of the creepy spoke. The man got down on his one knee and kissed the awaiting hands of the Romans. "They plan to move in two weeks. They are bringing the full guard and plan to destroy this clan. Is there anything else you ask of me, my lords?"

The Romans looked back at Alice and smiled, "Yes, send our clans. Send them here to protect their lords. We will have our lives back." The other Roman whispered, "Yes, we will have our home back."

The tall man stood and bowed his head and was gone out the door. Carlisle walked back into the room after closing the door. "We will not have war here," he said in a harsh tune while glaring at the Romans. They smiled at him. "No war will be needed," the one whispered. The other completed, "Just making it known that we can take it back."

Alice spoke then, "So how long has Owen been among the Volturi?" I turned to look at Alice now, "He's a spy? But, wouldn't that Aro guy know this?" Everyone turned to look at me. I looked back to the Romans as their smiles widened, "One little pawn," then the other spoke, "Doesn't hurt the future."

I looked at them stunned, "You are sending him to his death." I couldn't believe this. Alice spoke up, "He won't return to them. He left to tell us their information. The Volturi doesn't know he's gone…well they might now. I'm sure he was followed but he's not going to return back to them. He will return here with help." She smiled at me.

"You saw this already didn't you Alice," Edward whispered as he moved towards her. She laughed and nodded her head. "Yes, I did. Now let's get the others and see what our Bella can do." She came over and grabbed Bella's hand pulling her towards the door.
