CHAPTER 8: What we can do.

"Has anyone spoken with Charlie?" I asked, worried.

Wind blew through the house and I could hear papers blowing around in Carlisle's office.

"Bella, don't worry." Esme soothed and Edward held me close to him. The wind stopped when he touched me and a pleasant glow emitted from our bodies. Edward laughed, "I love you too."

I smiled and the glow grew brighter. "Bella, we called Charlie… he thinks you were just very sick. You should probably see him today," Esme said. I just nodded; I wondered what he would think. I must look different, I should find a mirror.

I was beginning to expect the things that happened after I singled out an emotion. The lights flickered on and off curiously.

Aurora's beautiful laugh called everyone's attention once more. Tristan was behind her, holding her hips. He was put in an absolute trance by his supreme being of a girlfriend. I looked at her and the lights stopped blinking and the beautiful melody played in my ears again.

"Bella…" she sighed. "Honestly, why do you do that?"

"We're in awe," Jasper answered for me. I nodded.

"Well I don't like it, please stop," she said, looking upset.

I don't know how I did it. I willed it to stop and it did. Everyone looked at me.

"She can control it…" Emmett said looking at me in wonder.

"What does that mean?" I asked, worried again; was something wrong with me? The wind started again and I wanted that to stop as well. It took a long time and a lot of will power, but the wind finally slowed down and died altogether.

"You need to practice," Edward said playfully. I looked at him and the glow emitted from both of our bodies again.

"Try to stop the glow, Bella," Carlisle said. This was hard to do. I tried for a long time with no results.

"She can't turn off our love…" Edward whispered. We started kissing again, no holding back. His lips moved against mine and I moved my tongue over his white razor sharp teeth and the whole while the glow was growing brighter.

It would have kept growing still but Rosalie yelled at us. "Stop, Bella, stop!" we looked away from each other and the glow dwindled on its own. We saw the others all turned away from us.

"It was so bright…" Alice explained to us

"Are you sure she should talk with her father today, what if she does that sort of thing?" Rosalie sneered. Edward growled quietly.

"She should hunt first; we don't want her to be any bit thirsty around Charlie." Carlisle said. "Also, I still need to pick up their contacts from Dr. Henrys."

I looked over at the captivating goddess that was Aurora. She looked at me and smiled. Her bright white teeth flashed and her bright red eyes locked with mine. I willed the music back down; she would get annoyed fast if I kept doing that. I could almost read her mind with that wicked smile on her too beautiful face. She was excited to go hunting. Would Aurora and Tristan be Vegetarians? I suppressed the worry wind.

"I can hunt animals now," Tristan answered my thoughts with a happy and relieved smile.

"Yes Tristan…" Aurora breathed. "Life is getting better already." She leaned back on his chest placing her hands on his.

"I'll say," he whispered passionately to her and lifted her up. Her feet dangled a foot or more from the ground and he kissed her fiercely. Everyone but Rosalie was laughing. Tristan started carrying Aurora off to the guest bedroom.

"Tristan," came her voice when she had stopped kissing him. "I have to hunt!"

"Nooo Rory… not right now… please!" he whined.

She laughed at him kindly and broke his hold on her body easily. She was a blur until she stopped behind Alice, she smiled playfully at him.

"I forgot how strong new vampires are…" he said, slightly shocked that she had gotten away from him.

He then lowered his head and smiled back at her completely irresistible features. He charged after her and she let him get close to her before she stepped up to him. He froze and she blinked her big beautiful red eyes at him. Her long eyelashes fluttered temptingly. He looked dizzy now and she giggled musically and darted off again. He stood there for a second and his huge form took off after her, looking serious about catching her.

I looked over at Edward and smiled wickedly at him. The lights twinkled playfully.

"Don't you even-" he started warningly.

I leaned in on my tiptoes to place my lips a millimeter away from his, "Wouldn't dream of it darling…" our lips barley touched as mine moved. "But then again…" I darted off in the direction Aurora had gone. I only ran for a couple seconds before she ran past me, heading the other direction, the one I had just came from. She grabbed my hand as she passed by and I got a look at the huge glorious frustrated Tristan before I felt my body being jerked around the way Aurora was headed.

I threw my head back and laughed as Alice zipped by us with Jasper close behind, everyone had joined in. Aurora and I extended our long white legs, stretching our smooth powerful muscles in synchronized bounds. I let her pull me along at a speed I couldn't have managed alone. She was fast, I thought.

She jerked me closer to her, to my left as we dodged Edward who had pounced at us. He missed me by inches and hit the floor. I looked back at him, concerned, but he was already on his feet chasing us side by side with Tristan. Edward is the fastest vampire in his family and Aurora is running faster.

We looked at each other and laughed joyously, I had never before been happier. I could be with Edward for all eternity. I would stay with the Cullens, my family. I also had a great friend. A friend that was perfect in everyway and we were laughing. The light around me grew brighter as we burst out the two front doors. We were headed for the trees.

We were laughing blissfully when I noticed something had changed about Aurora, something quite obvious. I was looking at the divine creature dragging me along. She looked back at me and smiled, her white teeth flashing. I looked in her eyes, which were now a terrifying vivid green. I stared at her shocked.

"Ouch!" her glorious voice rang out. We stopped running.

I could hear Edward and Tristan coming up behind us. Aurora turned around to look at them and laughed at there frustrated expressions and how far back they were. She raised her hands in a signal for them to stop.

As she did this, the ground raised in front of us. It formed a fifteen foot high steep mountain of grass and earth. Suddenly there were two great thuds and the earth in front of us shuddered as Tristan and Edward ran straight, head-long into it.

Aurora's sculptured mouth was hanging open and small electric shocks were webbing in between my fingers.

"Oh my god…" She gaped as she dropped her white arms to her sides; still with her perfectly angular jaw hanging.

The earth and grass returned seamlessly down and Tristan and Edward were lying on their backs on the other side of what used to be the mound. They were propped up on their elbows and their eyes were wide and their mouths were open too.

"What was that!" I asked her, shocked. I pointed to where the mound had been created out of Edward's yard. All the electricity from my shock had been building up and when I pointed the shock was released as a lightning bolt from my palm. It cratered and scorched the earth right below Tristan and Edward's feet.

My shock at what had just happened with my hand intensified the shock coming out of it. Edward ran up behind me and whispered in my ear, avoiding contact with my body.

"Make it stop Bella! I know you can do it… turn it off." His voice was intentionally soothing and I willed it to stop and the electricity ceased immediately. I was getting better. I turned my hand over to look at my palm. It was a perfectly normal vampire palm, my fingers were long and delicate and white. There were no marks that a constant stream of intense electricity had just passed through it.

"What…was…THAT!" I yelled frightened. Lightning struck 3 feet away from Tristan and Aurora. I was even more frightened now. Another bolt ripped through the sky and it was headed straight for Tristan and Aurora. Before it could strike them though, Aurora raised her hand protectively and another mound of earth raised to her call and formed a wall between them. The lightning struck the earth and Aurora and Tristan were safe.

Edward grabbed me then. "Calm down Bella," he breathed. "Make this stop." That was easy. I was with Edward; no longer frightened.

"Aurora," I gasped. "Sorry…how are you doing that?"

"I don't know…" her dazzling eyes were wide and her voice reflected her own shock. She dropped her hand back down to her side and the earth returned to its place. It had a scorch on it from where the lightning had struck it.

Aurora moved slowly. She reached down and placed her hand on the burnt earth and her now vivid green eyes glowed lightly. The earth was healing. The grass was firming and returning to the green it had once been.

"Rory…how are you doing these things?" Tristan whispered as she silently moved to the scorch-crater I had left from the shock that came out of my palm. She placed her hand over it and the dirt returned and the surrounding grass moved together to cover it.

"I don't know, but I understand why…" she stated, I didn't doubt her, she had an unusual serious expression I recognized. She walked back to her giant angel and took his hand. "I have always understood earth and nature better than anything else I've come across, except Tristan…I have placed myself around plants my whole life. Nature has always been a large part of my life. It sort of fits that the gift I took into this life would be to become part of it…wield it…" she ended staring at the ground and levitating a rock in her hand. I stared at the floating rock and watched as it moved when she placed her hand in different positions.

"Wow… we have to show Carlisle you two. Bella can make a powerful shock come out of her palm and you can control nature…this isn't normal. Have you ever heard of something like this Tristan?" Edward said. Once again…I mentally sighed. Bella is not normal-I couldn't even be a normal vampire!

I stood there criticizing myself…I wasn't even sure why. A voice was telling me that I should get angry. The other three started walking off in the direction of the house. The voice was telling me that I wasn't normal. Nothing you do will ever be normal Bella…it's not meant to be. I was getting angry now. Shut up! I thought to myself.

Edward turned around to look at me, wondering why I was still standing here, when something happened.

I was strangely angry now and from both of my palms erupted a blazing red flame. I felt some strangely familiar inner instincts kick in. I raised my palms out in front of me and pressed the two flames together.

"Bella!" I heard his beautiful voice yell as I immersed myself in the anger that I was directing at myself. I felt a wave of fire roll off my body and I saw, as if from a distance Aurora raise the Earth around her, Tristan, and Edward using it as a shield. I didn't know what was happening to me anymore. I was somehow tapping in to the anger of the vampires around me… and understanding it. Edward was barely angry at himself for changing me… it wasn't enough anger to help me. What am I doing? Before I could even think about it I passed up Edward's anger and moved on to Aurora. I couldn't feel it. She was a strange void, I grasped and clawed at her emotions but they slipped out of my hands. Errrr! I moved on to Tristan's. WOW. There was the anger I needed. He is angry at himself for showing Aurora how swiftly he used to kill, without thought, it used to be normal…natural…and easy. His anger flooded my mind, my body. It was begging to be released. Then something in my mind clicked into place, all the hectic anger was being forced down, but smoldering beneath the surface.

My mind was in control of the power flooding through me. I sensed my abilities. "Aurora, throw rocks at me…big ones." I said timidly, but with some authority.

She let the shield fall and looked at me with her vivid green eyes narrowed. "Bella?" her alluring voice called to me.

I gave her a small smile, "It's still me… I'm not really sure you'll understand but trust me, I want you to throw boulders at me. Lots and lots of boulders." I said, knowing that I must sound insane to her.

"Okay Bella." She said cautiously. She raised both of her arms out from her sides and her beautiful white marble hands tensed into hooked claws. Everyone was outside now, looking at both of us, worried. Aurora's large eyes turned gray and boulders came flying at her from all angles all stopping three feet from her hooked hands. She dropped all of them to the ground except 2, one for each hand.

She smiled at me. "What are we going to do Bella?" she asked in a polite voice. Trying to bring me back to my senses I assumed.

"I just want to try something. Just keep throwing them at me, okay?" I answered calmly, see I'm still sane.

"Ready?" she asked, doing this for me against her better judgment.

"Now," I called.

She threw it slow, or about the speed a normal vampire could have thrown it manually. She is holding back. I raised my palm and released a little of the anger effortlessly in a jet of flame that shattered the boulder. I saw the shock on her face and instinctively tried to grasp it, harness it in one of my reserves.

"Don't hold back…again." I ordered.

She spun her delicate body around and when her gray eyes met mine again another boulder was flying at me at twice the speed, she is still holding back. I raised my hand again and the next rock shattered just like the first.

I knew my abilities wouldn't really get tested if she didn't at least try. I have to know the rules and extents of my powers before I could really live. Before I can talk to Charlie or help the Cullens fight whoever this Victor was.

"Come on Aurora! Can't you do any better?" her eyes lit up slightly.

"I don't want to hurt you Bella!" she begged and looking at her face it was hard to resist whatever the goddess wanted.

"Oh…believe me, you can't!" I saw her indignation at my assumption. I really wasn't sure if she could hurt me… I am pretty sure she could get close. "Aurora, I know your capabilities and I know mine… don't make this embarrassing." I saw her jaw set.

"Bella, you are acting insane!" she yelled through gritted teeth. I sighed; I could see she wasn't going to let her anger take her. "I know my abilities are much better than yours."

My head snapped up. The goddess winked at me. Next thing I knew she was hurling boulders at me with her advanced abilities. I raised both of my palms, I had to. They were flying at me so fast I didn't see them; I just heard or sensed them. Some of them got so close that the debris hit me when I exploded them with the fire out of my palms.

When she ran out of the boulders she asked, breathing heavily-unnecessarily.

"Have you had enough?" she yelled with a smile that could have broken any man's heart.

"Yes," I gasped. I knew my abilities and they were good too.

A different, more playful smile spread over her godly face and she yelled "Too bad!" across the yard. She stomped her foot down on the lawn and sent 20 foot high ripples of earth to me.

I jumped over them easily but was shocked at her aggressive action. I used my own shock to send a wave of electricity towards her as retaliation. She raised the earth in front of her and hid behind it. I was going to need more shock.

There was a surplus amount of it in the Cullens nearby. I reached out with my mind to them. I grabbed their shock and absorbed it easily and caught their reasons for the emotion. 'Oh my god their fast!' 'I've never seen a vampire with offensive powers!' 'How are they doing this?' 'I hope they don't hurt each other, Aurora looks mad' 'Aurora is so beautiful…I wish she was mine…oh my god…Edward please don't tell Rosalie…or Tristan! He'd kill me' That was all I could absorb before I had to jump another 20 foot ripple and let it carry me backwards before I released a bolt of shock at Aurora's earth shield, I had a lot of shock in my system. It shattered.

The ripples stopped and Aurora quickly stood up. She had been knocked over by the force of the impact. She gracefully stood up with her back to me.

She looked over her shoulder at me smiling wickedly. I then noticed her eye color…it was a clear crystal blue…sort of like… I gasped "WATER!"

The little river Edward's room overlooked had been redirected…right to me. I looked back at Aurora in panic, adding more shock to my growing supply. She winked one beautiful clear-water blue eye at me and then I couldn't see her anything.

The water was wrapping around my body, but not touching me. The raging water was only about a foot away from me on every side, pressing in.

"Aurora!" I screamed, but I couldn't even hear myself; the pounding in on my heightened senses. I immersed myself in all the alien anger I had gathered from Tristan to make one huge wave of fire roll off my body. The water evaporated with the heat of the flash. I scurried to gather as much shock as I could while it was still at a peek from what I had just done. I had to rely on this shock now that my anger reserve was used up.

I noticed the grass was entwining itself around my legs, lots of it. I quickly killed it with the electric shocks and looked up at Aurora. She looked exhausted. I was too.

"Are we done?" I asked hopefully.

"Definitely," she said smiling. Thank God…we could have been at that forever. I pushed back the shock I had so it was available if I needed it later.

She ran up to me. Edward and the others were beside us in an instant. "Look what they did to the yard!" Rosalie shrieked. I should tell her what Emmett thought about Aurora, I would love to see her face. I decided not to, it would get Emmett in trouble and I didn't want that.

Aurora had bent down gracefully and placed both beautiful hands on the ground. Her eyes turned the vivid green again and she healed the earth. The scorch marks disappeared, the ground smoothed out and all the grass returned.

"Happy?" Aurora asked her, a tad bit angry. Rosalie didn't answer her.

Then Carlisle spoke, "I've never seen vampires with offensive power, nor have I heard of them," his voice was awed. "As far as I know, you two are the only ones in existence. This may sound strange…but I don't think this is a coincidence that you two met. We have always known there was something different about Bella and I had the same instincts about Aurora. I think we all are part something much larger than we had imagined…"
