Quote of the day: "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."-Marilyn Monroe

Chapter 28

Bella's dream

I closed my eyes only to find that when I had opened them I was in a white room. The floor was white, the sofa's were white, the walls were white, even the paintings that hung in the room appeared to be plain white canvases.

"Bella." At the sound of my name I turned to find myself face to face with Amias. The woman's long golden hair was longer and her skin paler than I had remembered.

"Amais..." I drifted off not knowing what to say. The last time I had seen this person my father had died. At this thought my mind flashed back to those sorrowful moments. In my mind I watched as Amias stepped gracefully out of the yellow orange flames. I had partly blamed her for Charlie's death but now as I looked into her eyes, I saw her sadness. She grieved for my father also.

"Bella, it has been so long." Amias spoke, her voice as soft as wind chimes. "I am sorry for your loss, it would have never happened if we hadn't delved into things that were never our business to begin with."

"Thank you." I muttered, unsure of what to say. She had heard those lines so many times now, 'I am sorry for your loss', and even now her didn't know what to answer with.

"Our time is short and I have much to tell you Bella. Come." Amais said, her face suddenly turning serious.

I followed her and she turned around and glided effortlessly away towards the door. As Amias opened to white door I saw that the corridor was exactly like the room, paper white.

"Why..." I started to ask.

"Is everything white?" Amias offered and at my nodded she continued. "It is not that they are white, it is that you have not colored them yet. This is your mind Bella, it is yours to bend and alter at will. Try it, imagine the walls are a different color."

I closed my eyes and pictured the white corridor around me. Then I imagined the walls to be blue. In my mind it was a soft baby blue, the blue of the sky on a beautiful summers day, and when I opened my eyes I saw that my imaginings had become reality. Again, this time without closing my eyes, I imagined the floors to become a deeper, richer blue, and so they did.

Amias continued to lead me down corridors until we had finally ended up outside another door. As they stepped in without my effort on my part, the rooms walls bled and crimson red and the floors became black as tar.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"This is the part of your mind that has never been entered before. Even when you become a vampire this part of your mind could never be reached."

"What? Why? I thought..." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"No, despite their beliefs. There is a small percentage of a vampires mind that has never be reached. If they had managed to do so, they would cease to function." Amias told me.

"I don't understand."

"The brain, my dream Bella, has one job- to seek answers. A vampire may have consumed all of the knowledge in the world but it will never be able to learn everything about themselves. The part of the mind that has never been reached has answers to many things. For some, it has answers about their futures, for others it has their human memories. No vampire knows everything."

"So why did you bring me here?" I asked.

"You are special Bella. You are immune to the consequences of knowledge. So I have decided to give you the knowledge of your true self, your true power. Your nature is to protect, you can protect your mind and the mind of others. This is a further enhancement of your ability. This part of your mind holds the power to protect your body and the body of others. All you have to do is learn to use it... I have show you the way, now you must do the rest by yourself."

"Wait! I don't understand. What am I suppose to do?" I asked but Amias was already gone.

Back in the Clearwaters house I blinked awake and then groaned. What was she suppose to do? She didn't even remember who to get to the room... or that part of her mind.

Sitting up I looked around my bedroom, which was cast in lazy shadows. Then deciding to get out of bed, I went to open the curtains.

As I looked outside I sighed. One thought continued to swirl around in my head, 'soon'. The battle will come soon. I knew this because winter had finally come. The air was sharp and bitter and the grounded was covered in its first layer of snow. It was a few days ago that Alice had finally had the vision of the army coming to Forks. There were almost thirty of them.

What surprised me even more was who was leading the army. I just didn't understand why he would to such a thing. I had never seen him as one to seek revenge nor as one to do something so foolish. He should be happy with an almost-mate by his side and yet he was creating a newborn army instead. Why? I wondered if I would ever find out.

"Bella." I heard a knock outside my bedroom door.

"Come in, Leah."

Behind me I heard the creak of the door as Leah slowly opened it. "Have you packed, it is almost time?"

Turning around, I nodded, a weary smiled on my lips. "Yeah, I've packed. Are you and Seth ready?"

"Yep."

It had been almost two weeks since Seth had phased. Unlike most of the wolves who phased in anger, Seth phased because a vampire had come close to him, or more specifically me. About two weeks ago, me and Leah were out for a meeting with the wolves and Cullens. Sue had taken Harry for a check up on his heart and Seth was home alone. That is until a vampire had entered the house in search of my sent.

The house was now sporting various claw marks and the council on the reservation had paid for a new front door. Because of that incident it had taken Seth four days to finally shift back into human form and I had my favorite t-shirt and pillow case stolen from me.

Once everything was loaded into my truck, I drove up to the Cullen's house with Seth and Leah following behind me in the cover of the woods. From there Edward carried me to where Alice vision had seen the army come from and I began making the trail. Shuffling me feet purposely into the forest floor and brushing my hands against the trees. When I cut my finger on the thorns of a bush, I still continued. At the the blood would add to my scent that now ran to the baseball clearing that the Cullen's and wolves wished to fight at.

"Bella, are you okay?" Edward asked, probably sensing that I had been strangely silent when we had walked through the forest.

"Yeah, i'm fine. I, I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

Edwards question made me look up from the ground where my gaze had been previously. His honey gold eyes shown with curiosity and worry. "I am trying to remember how to get somewhere. Somewhere I had only been once."

Edward frowned a little at my strange answer before replying, "Do you remember any distinguishable markings? Signs?"

I shook my head trying to think. "No, everything is just white?"

This, of course, caused Edward's frown to deepen. However this time I didn't notice as I tried to remember.

Then suddenly Amias' words echoed through her, "This is your mind Bella, it is yours to bend and alter at will." And I had altered it. Almost everything was white... except for the corridor I had made blue and the room that was strained red and black.

I turned to Edward who still frowned and smiled brilliantly at him. "I think I remember how to get there now."

Hey guys sorry for the long wait. I have just started College :)
