I tried screaming. It didn't work. For the next few seconds, Eric and I battled over who was going to be in control. He won.
I was watching my life through my eyes, but not actually living it.
"She's a fighter," my voice said. Then he turned so I was facing Bella. She still wasn't paying attention. Maybe she had heard though. Oh God, let her have heard what was going on. If she doesn't know that I'm literally not myself, then it could be bad, considering that I don't know what they are planning on doing. My head was turned to where, now, two boys were lying. One was Eric who was completely still. The other was his brother who had slipped out of consciousness. "That's always creepy," Eric remarked.
"I can imagine," Aro said. Bella snapped her head to me. She looked nervous, maybe she did know what was going on.
"Leave her alone," she said to my face. Yes! She did know.
My lips curved into a smile. "Not until I finish my job." Then Eric used my power to uproot a tree and flung it at Bella. She quickly dodged it. Luckily not tripping in the proccess. But now I understood what Aro meant when he said that he was going to make her use her power. They were going to hurt her until she had to use it.
I growled. Then Eric attempted to try picking Bella up. It didn't work. Again I growled. He pushed the ground under Bella up. The lifted ground slipped away under her. Bella fell and the loose ground formed above her and slammed down on her until she hit the earth. I internally cringed but my voice laughed.
"Jera!" Bella cried as she stood up. "You have to try to fight him." Didn't she get it? I already tried fighting him and I lost. That's why this was happening. I lost and now Bella was getting hurt because of me. Once again it is my fault.
A hunk of metal flew at Bella. She was caught off guard and knocked down again. I cried out in myself. God dammit. Eric's brother cried out again. I though he was knocked out...
"Help, Jera..." I can't I tried screaming although it was useless. Then I noticed a large truck hovering above Bella. No. Bella why the hell aren't you running? Why was Aro doing this? He wasn't usually this unreasonable. The next part was almost like it was in slow motion. The car started decending on Bella with a force coming from on top of it.
I couldn't watch. But I couldn't close my eyes either. Frantically, I focused on the night sky dotted with tiny stars and planes in the distance. There was a scream. It was from Bella. I looked at where she was last in preanticipated horror.
Was I surprised. Bella wasn't there. The car was stopped, hovering above where Bella should had been. Eric tried sniffing her out. But came up with nothing. It was like she had fallen off the face of the planet. I was growling in frustration. The real me though, was smiling happily. Bellas got away she was safe, for now.
"Eric, stop," Aro said. My head shook. And another growl escaped my mouth. Suddenly, I felt the rage Eric was fueling my body with.
"I'm going to get her," I snarled.
"No, you aren't. Bella already showed us her power," Aro said calmly. Yeah, that's right. I thought angrily. Now get the fuck out of my body. Eric was preoccupied with being mad so I attempted to get him out of there.
I don't remember what happened, but whatever I did, worked. Suddenly, I could feel the cool night breeze on my arms. I could smell the crisp scent of coming rain. Everything was back, except Bella.
"What's her power Aro?" I growled, furious about previous events.
He smiled. "You'll have to figure it out on your own. I figure that neither of you want to come with me, sad as it is. So, we will leave you now." The little boy who Bella had bitten was gone as was Eric, and soon Aro was gone as well.
"Bella!" I cried, racing across the field. "Where are you?"
"Jera," it was Bella. I whipped around to where the voice came from, she wasn't there. Then next second, she materialized.
"Ack!" I fell back in shock. Then a wave of understanding came over me. "Oh...your power, it's invisiblility. Total invisibility. From powers and everything," I added remembering how Bella had just seemed to totally dissappear.
"Really?" Bella asked in disbelief. "You are right, that does make sense." She smiled, then frowned. "I don't get it though, how did we get knocked out?"
I scrunched my nose. "I have no idea."
She narrowed her eyes. "Where are we?"
"How are we supposed to get home?" I asked. I searched the night sky quietly for stars. Then it hit me, I don't know astronomy. I sighed, and started walking off in a a random direction.
"Do you know where we are going?" she asked. I shook my head.
"We'll figure it out eventually," I shurgged. Then I grinned at her. "I like your power. Very useful if you ever get mad at anyone." She laughed, then dissappeared. "Bella! That is not funny at all!" She jumped on me while reappearing. "Do that again!" I practically screeched and I will tie you up to a train track. You won't die, but you will get very bored of being ran over." She laughed again.
"Fine. There's always other people I can play with," she winked. We both burst into laughter and continued our random trail.
