None of us moved a muscle for those hours. Not even a blink. I wondered if Bella and Alice were bored of watching me watch the wall. They probably were, but they didn't say anything. Every once and a while, Gabriel would stop at the doorway and watch me too. But having a body of a young child, he soon needed to move around. Edward never came out of his room for all that I could tell.

At dawn, there was a ring at the door. I swear at least five of us growled at the same time. "That's a nice way to greet guests," I remarked dryly. I could feel my stomach getting worked up. My nerves couldn't calm themselves. Edward finally came out of his room. He gave Bella a long kiss.

"I love you, Bella."

"I love you too." I wanted to cry. They sounded just like me and Jacob. Their voices so sad. Neither of them sure what was really going to happen next.

"Good luck, Jer," Edward said before he slipped back into his room. I guessed he had every intention on fulfulling his promise to stay out of the way.

Alice walked over to me and hugged me tightly. "Please be safe. And watch after Bella." I nodded my head, a little unsure if I would be able to watch after myself. She kissed me on the cheek, then flew downstairs to answer the door.

"Ah, Alice," came Aro's cold voice. "I would have expected you to answer the door sooner."

"I'm sorry, I was busy."

"What a shame that you have better things to do than be hospitable."

"Carlisle is in the study. Why don't you too catch up, while you wait for Bella and Jera," Alice growled, her voice full of poison. There was some very quiet footsteps. Then Alice closed the door. I was surprised that Jane hadn't said anything yet.

"Hello, Gabriel," she said. Well, I spoke too soon.

I pitied Gabriel silently, then remembered my plight, and forgot about giving him any pity. As selfish as it may sound. "Hello, Jane," Gabriel said coldly. I stood up and grabbed Bella.

"Try your very best not to be scared," I told her quietly as I steered her down the stairs. She nodded, not saying a word. I didn't balme her.

We came into the living room where Jane and Gabriel were glaring at each other angrily. "Bye, Gabe," I said briskly.

"Bye, Jera," he said not taking his eyes off of Jane. Whatever, I would see him later, right?

When we got into the study, Aro and Carlisle were already having a good time. Alice stood quietly behind Aro's seat, a fake smile cracked on her face. I wanted to giggle, but I couldn't. Aro looked up and saw us. "Jera, it's been too long," he remarked. Not long enough, I thought. "And good to see you like this, Bella." She and I both plastered identical smiles on.

"Good to see you too," I lied through my teeth. Happily, I walked to shake Aro's hand, just to show him that I wasn't afraid of his power. Not with Gabriel's mind block on my side.

He laughed. "I see Gabriel as been doing some projects since he worked with us. Alice has one too, and Bella, well Bella's naturally immune to my power. Speaking of powers, my sources tell me that you have a new power."

I nodded my head. "That's right, I'm no longer a pyschic. I think the word is telekenetic."

"I believe you are right. That's very interesting," Aro turned to Bella. "And my sources tell me, that you have a power as well."

"I'm sorry, but I think your orginal notion was wrong. I have no power."

He smiled evilly. "No, I am positive I'm right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here." Suddenly, I was hit by a wave of calm. Thank God for Jasper. "So," he continued. "I assume you two know why I am here." Bella nodded her, then shook it.

"We have an idea," I said, speaking for both of us. "But we aren't really sure."

Aro nodded his head. "Well let's see, of course I want you to join me, but you still have to come with me even if you don't want to." What? I thought. No, no fucking way was I going to leave. "Not forever," he said, as if reading my mind. Which he really couldn't. "Just until I...test something." I did not like the sound of that. What was he going to test? He stood up. "Jane, we are leaving. Come on now, Bella, Jera." Then Aro left the room.

Slowly, we followed. I didn't trust myself to turn around and say bye to Alice or Carlisle. Bella stood at my side and gripped my hand tightly. This reminded me of the people must have felt before they went into gas chambers during World War II. To us, we were facing our death. We had no idea what was in store for us. And it could be anything.

Aro was in the living room, quite amused by the hate Jane and Gabriel had for each other. "Jane, let's go." She growled but got up and stood behind him. I walked over to Gabriel and patted him on the head, I knew he hated that...

"Be good for Emmett while I'm gone," I told him softly. Silently, he nodded his head. I bit my lip, then, followed the vampires out the door.

They placed Bella and I in the back of one of two limos. I shuddered as they closed the door. Bella opened her mouth to say something, but I quickly put my finger to my lips. Then I began to scour the limo for listening devices. And I mean scour. No speaker was left in one piece. When I was sure that there was only eleven bugs to find, I destroy them by stamping on them.

"Ok," I said still very quiet.

"How did you...?"

"Gabriel worked for them. I know a lot of their tricks."

"Oh, ok."

"So what were you going to say?"

"What do you think they will do with us?" I bit my lip. I truly didn't know, so I simply shrugged my shoulder.

"I guess what happens, happens."

"How can you live with that kind of philosophy?" Bella asked raising her voice little. I shushed her and looked at the darkened window that blocked out the driver nervously. Was he a vampire too?

"Sometimes, it's the best philosophy you can live by. Instead of getting your hopes up. Visa versa." Bella shook her head as she buried her face in her hands. She sat there like that for a while. I started to feel guilty, maybe I shouldn't have put it like that, so I took her hand and held it the entire ride.

I don't know what the hell happened, but when we stopped, the door opened and somehow, I passed out.
