Hey guys, I'm glad that you all thought that my idea of Bella's power was creative. But you know, when I was first writing the story I had to come up with Bella's power. And after looking for hints in the book, I just kind of thought that power made sense.

Bella and I were walking on an unknown highway, when I started to feel bad about what had happened. "I'm sorry," I said quietly focusing my eyes on the ground.

"For what?" she asked. Then she answered herself. "Oh, that. That's not your fault, Jer."

I shook my head. "No, no, it was my fault. I could have tried harder..." Bella stopped walking.

"It's not your fault," she demanded me to believe. "Besides, I'm fine. No harm done." Then she started walking again. I followed behind lamely. So what if she was fine? Wait, I don't mean it like that. But more of, its not the point that she's not hurt, it's the point that I didn't do everything I could to stop it from happening. Or did I?

"Do you know where we are?" I asked after a while. She shook her head. I tried sniffing for something. Anything. Then it hit me, salt, water, the ocean "Yes!" I shouted happily. It was the first time all day that I had been happy. Bella laughed as I ran off excitedly. I wanted to get home, though.

Then I stopped short of the ocean. There was something else I smelled. Werewolves.

You have to be kidding me.

It was Jacob's entire pack, including Jacob and Billy. I frowned, remembering at what he wanted to happen. Where they really deciding that all now? Bella was standing next to me.

"What's going on?" she asked inaudibly.

"Jacob tried to get himself banished yesterday."

"What? Why?"

"Because of me. My fault..." I started. But when I saw her face, I quickly stopped. Bella grabbed my arm and started dragging me in the direction of their scent. "Bella," I hissed, "Are you insane? They will smell us." I planted myself in the ground with my power.

She smiled and yanked on me. "Not when I use my power."

"Wait, what makes you so sure that you can make me invisible too?"

Bella shrugged. "Just a hunch. Come on, Jera" I sighed and allowed her to drag me, despite my doubt. Soon enough, voices came into earshot. Bella didn't stop though. She kept pushing through the foliage quietly.

There was a clearing. All the guys didn't seem to notice us, so I guessed Bella was right. They had set up a kind of court room by placing folding chairs where they would be if it really was one. Jacob sat quietly on one side, alone. He was his own defense. Billy and another wolf was sitting on the opposite side. This is horrible, I thought. Jacob's dad is against him.

Bella looked at me when she herself had noticed Billy's posistion on the whole deal. Her look read, "Don't say anything or we are dead." I frowned, but didn't say a word.

Sam sat where the judge would be. And the rest of the wolves sat as the jury. From the look of it, Jacob had no chance. The jury glared at him along with Sam, and his dad wouldn't look at him.

I sighed quietly in frustrastion. Whoops. All of the wolves' heads shot in our direction. Bella and I knew that we were safe, but still, neither of us moved an inch, just in case. Eventually, the guys turned their focus away from us. Jacob was the last one to do so, and every now and then he would look back at us.

"Jacob, do you have anything to say?" Sam asked sternly. Jacob smiled lightly.

"Nah." God dammit, Jacob. Why don't you care about being banished. It's not worth it. I'm not worth it. Stop being so damn stubborn

"You?" Sam asked nodding to the two prosecuters. Billy stood.

"My son has disgraced you and our tribe. He means nothing to me now," he said crisply in a cold voice. Then promptly, Billy sat back down. I looked at Jacob who looked as calm as ever. What the hell?

"Ok, you guys go figure out your decision," Sam said briskly. The style of the "court room" might be modeled after a real one, but it was definately less formal. Sam and Jacob's prosecuters left, for some unknown reason. The rest of them were busy chatting to each other.

Jacob started toward us. I rolled my eyes. Did he really figure us out? He stood about a yard to the right of Bella. "Hi," he said very quietly into the forest. Bella and I remained quiet. "Please, I know that you are there, guys. Bella, Jera, maybe others."

I tried to stay silent but Bella didn't. "Hi..." she said quietly. He turned to face us, a smile on his face.

"Do I get anything from you Jera?" Why, was it always me? Maybe Bella came here on her own...ok, maybe not.

"Jake..." I started. "Why are you doing this?"

"For you, of course."

"Bu-"

"Nope," he cut me off. "This was my choice. Not yours." Jacob turned over his shoulder. "I'll see you two, for real, later." He started walking off. "Oh and Bella, nice power."

She giggled quietly. I glared at her. It wasn't ok for Jacob to give up his pack for me. Not at all. He was back in his chair before anyone had noticed he was gone.

Obviously he wasn't too worried about the whole Volturi ordeal that had gone on earlier that day. Alice or Bella, most likely Bella, probably had explained to him a lot of things and covered up some details. That way, he wouldn't worry.

Sam came back a few minutes later with Billy and the other wolf. "Have you guys figured it out yet?" he asked. They all nodded and sat down.

"Your decision is?"

You know me, I like cliffies. But most of my smart readers, which you all probably are, already know the verdict.
