Amanda POV
CHAPTER 28
It had been an hour ago that the last video was played. The one of Alice getting what she deserved.
It had been a full forty-five minutes ago that I had stopped talking. Relating everything that had happened and bringing some context to the videos that were shown.
No one had bothered to say a word since.
They were all staring at me completely dumbfounded and I could see the expressions of rage and betrayal in their eyes, but the one I saw the most of was complete shock. No one had any idea how to handle Alice's betrayal and no one was willing to believe it until I offered up the videos as proof. Not even the wolves knew what to say.
I looked over at my gorgeous mate and I could see he wasn't sure what to do to snap everyone out of their collective daze. We couldn't afford the time it would take for everyone to come to terms with this as much as they should. We had one day to figure out a plan of attack and the next day we would be fighting for our undead lives.
"Jasper, could you send some alertness to everyone. I'm not quite done yet." I request.
"Yeah. Gimme a sec." He replies thoughtfully. I knew he was struggling with everyone else's emotions and needed a moment to block everyone else out so he could do what I asked. If I could see their suffering clearly on their faces, I couldn't imagine what he felt from them. I could see him concentrate to include the wolves in his gift and I could see everyone react slightly when the alertness reached them. A blink here, a breath there, the twitch of a hand over there, and finally everyone looked like they were back in the land of the living.
"I'm sorry." I state sincerely. "I know it's a lot to come to terms with, but we're far from out of the woods yet. We have one day to come up with a plan of attack and I'm going to need all of you to focus so we can all come out of this in one piece."
Jasper stands up from the chair he's occupied since we got here and walks over to me to wrap his arms around me for support. Whether it was support he needed, or support I needed, I wasn't quite sure, but I was glad to have it none the less.
"I have some semblance of a plan for what we can do to defeat Victoria, but I'm gonna need y'all's complete cooperation for this to work. I know how her Army behaves, how they react, and how they've been trained." I tell them quickly.
"I'm ready to rip some vamps to shreds." Paul states enthusiastically.
"Why should we listen to you?" Edward asks. "Clearly you don't care about our survival, only your own."
"We should listen to her, Edward because she has insider experience and knows their weaknesses" replies Rosalie.
"I don't care if she knows their entire battle strategy," Edward counters, "I don't trust her."
"No one's asking you to become bosom buddies with her Ed. She's asking for cooperation, not to be your best friend." States Emmett smartly.
"That reminds me, Rosalie" I say looking at her, "you and I have things to discuss in regards to your gift. You'll be a major player in this plan if we can get your gift working the way it needs to."
"You've got to be kidding!" Jacob exclaims. "The Ice Queen has a gift?! What can she do? Glare someone to death?"
"As useful as that could be, Jacob no. She's a Siren like me." I state proudly.
"Ok. So this Siren business," states Sam, "what exactly is it. Everyone seems to know but us."
"Let me explain it to you like this: the term Siren comes from Greek mythology of creatures by the same name. I'm sure you've heard of tales of beautiful women who, with some sex appeal and a great voice, would lure weary travelers to their deaths on the oceans. Yes?" I ask the room. After receiving several nods and a few 'yeah's I continue.
"Our gift is kind of similar to that, but with more to it. I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice that, even though vampires are inhumanly beautiful to our prey – in this case humans – Rosalie and I are the most beautiful beings in this room. That's not ego talking, it's fact. We have to be more physically appealing than other vampires because we have a gift that relies on our beauty and sexuality. We can also mimic any sound, voice, or song. If one of us were to sing in our own voice, it's just a song, but if we mimic the artist's voice then we can put you into a kind of trance. While you are in that trance, or under our control, the words that we sing can calm you, rile you up, or get you to tell us something you've kept hidden. Exactly like I did to Alice in the video of her confession. The lyrics we sing are more literal in their influence than metaphorical which is how I was able to garner that confession in the first place."
"Do you mind if we get a bit of a demonstration?" Sam asks.
"It would be nice to find out exactly what influence you have and if it affects the wolves at all." Jacob states.
"Ok. I'll be willing to give you a demonstration, but we have to go out to the yard. I don't want anyone to destroy the house." I reply.
Everyone starts to make their way outside, but what shocks me is how excited some of the wolves and even a few of the Cullen's seem to be to experience what I can do. I guess if you've lived as long as they have, you kinda have to make your own entertainment. I have a song chosen for this experiment and I can't help but to giggle a bit. This might end up being a lot funnier or a lot more embarrassing for some people than it would be for others.
I can't wait.
"Ok. I have my song picked out. Rosalie, you're gonna need to be over here with me. I won't be able to influence you, but you'll see what kind of effect you can have. I'm gonna need volunteers from the wolves because there's so many of you. Cullen's I'm gonna need all of y'all to be involved in this little experiment." I state.
"Does that mean ya want me in there, too Darlin'?" Jasper asks.
"It might not be a bad idea. I would never willingly use my gift on you, but you might get caught in Rosalie's unaware. You need to figure out what it feels like." I reply.
"That's smart thinkin'." Jasper replies as he heads out to join the rest of his family on the lawn.
Rosalie and I have taken our positions on the porch and half the pack has joined us. The other half are fighting with each other about who gets which spot next to whom on the lawn. I would find it hilarious if I wasn't trying not to think about the next step in this little experiment. I wouldn't want Edward to get hit early.
"Rosalie," I state calmly, "I hope you don't have any qualms with your family making fools of themselves. This might just be the funniest thing you've seen in quite some time."
She looks at me raising one perfect blonde eyebrow, but I don't elaborate as I grin mischievously. I take my position standing with my hands cupped by my sides like amplifiers. The first few notes of "Beast Within" by In This Moment start to run through my head and I begin to sing:
I don't know how I got here
But we cannot get out
I'm surrounded by strangers
As the music starts to pound
I see the bodies slowly swayin'
Movin' side to side
I feel the animal is rising
As I slowly come alive
After that last line I can hear a bunch of answering growls. I can see that everyone but the newborn Bella out on the lawn has started swaying to the lyrics that I'm singing. I'm not sure why she's unaffected, but I just nod my head to Rosalie and she grabs Bella and pulls her onto the porch.
So everybody starts to move now
I wanna see you all give way
I wanna tear this place apart tonight- A few wolves have decided to tear apart some trees at this line.
And have you thank me for my rage
Tell me what you came for
Can I give you just a taste?
I wanna see you lose your fucking minds
And rip apart this place- again with the trees…very interesting.
Now the dancing is starting to get a bit more…heated. I can see Sam and the portion of the pack that stayed on the porch all looking on in awe at the effect I'm having on the other members of their pack and the Cullen's. I do manage to hear a snarl from Bella as she sees her mate starting to get a little too friendly with the rest of the people out on the lawn, but it looks like Sam is holding her back so I can finish this.
Let me see you move your bodies
Let me see you move your bodies
Let me see you move your bodies
I'll tear you apart
I'll feed off your heart
I wanna see your bodies grinding just for me
I'm just what you need, the perfect disease
Don't you wanna turn the beauty into the beast?
I begin to walk through the writhing bodies, still singing and now everyone around me is beginning to grind on one another. It's getting quite sexual up on this lawn. If I wasn't concentrating, it would be funny as hell.
Endorphins start to swell now
As I step up to my throne
I feel the monster caged inside of me
Screaming through my bones
I wanna see you start to sweat now
I wanna see you lose your minds
I wanna feel you all from deep within
Swayin' back and forth all night
Everyone's actually swaying, grinding and getting a bit…friendly with their neighbors now, and if I don't get a move on with this song, we could have a full fledged orgy on our hands. I can hear the faint giggles of some of the pack members as well as Rosalie as the group of writhing bodies gets closer and closer together and hands start to wander to various bodies.
Let me see you move your bodies
Let me see you move your bodies
Let me see you move your bodies
This next set of lyrics will be a good chance to get Rosalie to participate and see if she can mimic me. I give her a meaningful look as I begin walking back to the porch. I start signing with my hands telling her to repeat after me when I point to her.
I'll tear you apart
I'll feed off your heart
I wanna see your bodies grinding just for me
I'm just what you need, the perfect disease
Don't you wanna turn the beauty into the beast?
Let me see you bleed
Let me hear you scream
Hey oh-my line, then I point to Rosalie
Hey oh -she sings back and it matches what I'm doing, so I smile widely at her.
Let me see you move
Let me hear you say- My line and I point to Rosalie.
Hear you say - she repeats.
I decide that now would be the best time to take Jasper and Emmett from my influence so I start to draw it back from them a bit and nod my head towards the porch so they can see the rest of the demonstration. While I do that, I up the influence on everyone left and I can see a few trying to get rid of clothing that they have on. Considering it's mostly men, with only Esme and Leah out there, I may want to switch things up a bit. I start to pull my influence back from the only two women not currently on the porch and they hurry up to us once Rosalie beckons for them.
I see the bodies slowly swayin'
Movin' side to side
I feel the animal is rising- more growling.
I'll tear you apart
I'll feed off your heart
I wanna see your bodies grinding just for me
I'm just what you need, the perfect disease
Don't you wanna turn the beauty into the beast?
So now we currently have only men under my influence and they're getting pretty damn friendly with one another. I don't wanna finish the song early, but I'm a bit nervous that this might go a bit too far.
I'll tear you apart
I'll feed off your heart
I'm just what you need, the perfect disease
Don't you wanna turn the beauty into the beast?
I finish the song and pull my influence back and I get a lot of perplexed looks from everyone out on the lawn, but I get a lot of laughter from everyone behind me. There are several bits of clothing missing from several wolves and Carlisle and Edward all have their shirts missing and I believe Edward may have undone his pants at some point. Clearly that boy needs to get laid.
I hear him growl at me and remember that he read that thought directly from my mind. Well, no one said I had to be nice. I just giggle darkly, shrug my shoulders and roll my eyes.
"It seriously looked like everyone was about to break out into an orgy in the middle of your yard, Carlisle." Paul says grinning.
"It was an interesting feeling, that's for sure." Replies Carlisle trying to put himself back to rights and keep at least some of his dignity in place. I've gotta give the man credit. He's trying a lot harder to keep his Coven Leader persona intact than most would. Esme sure seemed to be enjoying the show, though.
"Although it may have ended with a bit of humor, it certainly didn't start out that way." Emmett states.
"Yeah, I know what ya mean. Although it was nice at the time, I didn't like that my desire to move my body like that wasn't exactly comin' from me. I could certainly feel the lust in the air and it was a tad overwhelmin', but I couldn't stop." Jasper replies a bit embarrassed.
"Shit! I didn't even think about that! I'm so sorry!" I reply feeling a bit guilty. Of course he would be the only one out there to feel the amount of lust being projected from everyone under my influence.
"No need to be, Darlin'." he replies wrapping his arms around me tightly and letting me feel his understanding and affection towards me. "At least most of us know what it feels like now and we can be semi-prepared if it happens again. It was a good idea."
"It was an interesting experiment I'll admit. Although, one person wasn't influenced like I hoped she would be. Bella didn't go under." I reply looking up into his beautiful golden eyes.
"Well isn't that interesting. I had already assumed that she was a shield. Perhaps if we can get her to extend it around someone else, perhaps that person wouldn't be able to be influenced either." Carlisle manages to say as he runs his fingers through his hair.
"I'd be willing to help her experiment with her shield. If we can get her to cover our side during the fight, then the likelihood that one of ours would be influenced by either Rose or myself would be significantly diminished. We would have an advantage in the upcoming battle." I state clearly.
"It's not a bad idea, to be sure." Jasper replies. "We would hate to lose someone on our own side simply because they couldn't control what they were doin'."
"I can help her practice with it. I've never been able to hear her thoughts, so if she were able to project it, I wouldn't be able to hear the thoughts of anyone under it." Edward states.
"I'm not so sure you would be the best person to help her." I state simply. "No offense, but I think we would need more motivation than that and using you as the guinea pig would probably be more effective."
"Well, we don't really have another gift that we can use." Edward states matter of factly.
"What am I, chopped liver?" I ask offended. "I just showed the entire group what I could do. Mine seems to be the only gift here she could practice with without it getting too out of hand. I would ask Rosalie to help, but she's got some studying to do." I state simply. "I may need to hunt before we begin again, though."
"I think we all may need to hunt after that. I feel a bit drained and I didn't do very much." Rosalie states embarrassed.
"Wait, you did that, too?" Quil asks, trying to button his pants back up.
"Yeah, she helped me out a bit, but we'll work on enhancing her gift a bit more later." I reply.
"Alright, why doesn't everyone take a few hours to hunt and then come back here for training." Jasper states clearly. I can see a lot of people nodding in agreement and then everyone leaving in groups to go hunt while the wolves head into the house. As for me, I'm gonna need more than one meal if we're gonna be at this a while.
Two hours later, Jasper and I come back from our hunt. I headed out to a place called Port Angeles and found an asshole about to rape a woman. After deciding that even though he didn't fit my usual victim pool, he was gonna die regardless for trying to hurt someone so horribly, I made him my first meal of the evening. Now there was one less asshole the world had to deal with. I also managed to find a drunk homeless man as well. Lucky for me, he did fit my usual victim pool, so I made his death quick and as painless as I could. No need to make him suffer needlessly. I felt kind of sloshy after the second meal, but if it was going to keep my strength up, then I'd need to be sloshy. I didn't care as long as it worked.
I see Rosalie and Emmett in the yard waiting on us once we get back and I can tell Rosalie is excited to begin her foray into becoming the Siren she knows she is. I'm not entirely sure if her gift will work like mine, but we can experiment with it later. For now, she had some studying to catch up on.
"Alright Rosalie," I state when Jasper and I are within normal and casual human distance from her and Emmett "the first thing we need to do is go over your music knowledge. I have a very eclectic taste in music and it works to my benefit to get what I want. If you haven't listened to music since you were changed, then we need to get you up to date." I state to her simply.
"I agree with you. My music knowledge is barely remembered songs from the early 1930's. So I guess it's sorely lacking." Rose replies.
"Well, that's easily fixable." I state smiling at her. "Your brain will be able to remember and catalogue any and every song you hear from here on out. I tend to think of the way I select music as something on an iPod, but you could think of it as a jukebox or a rolodex. It really just depends on your personal preference. Whatever music you need, you'll have. You just need to have something to put into that jukebox. What we need now is a room, a computer, and WiFi."
"We have everything up in my room. Follow me." she says as she runs for the house. I turn around and give Jasper a kiss before following. I'm not sure what the guys have planned, but I'm needed with Rose for the moment.
"Ok," I state as we reach her and Emmett's room, "you need to familiarize yourself with the musical side of YouTube to start off with. I'll talk to Edward and see if any of his music is worth listening to for your benefit. I will let you know, though that you need to step outside of your comfort zone when it comes to the music you listen to. Find something that you like, but don't just stick with that genre."
She nods at me and says, "When I was human I think I remember listening to artists like The Boswell Sisters or Chester Gaylord."
"I'm sorry, but I have no idea who those are." I state honestly. "What you need to do for the next several hours is try and find something that fits with your personality, but you can also use to your advantage. For example, I tend to stay with more modern music; In This Moment, Evanescence, Halestorm, Florence and the Machine, Sia, Pink, and various others. It just depends on my mood. You could listen to and add whatever songs you wanted into your jukebox .If you wanted to listen to The Boswell Sisters or Chester Gaylord, then you can. You need to find songs that work for you."
"What was that song you sang earlier? I want to hear what the original sounds like." Rosalie requests excitedly.
So I pull up In This Moment and let her watch some videos and let her listen to some songs that we find.
"Why do you like this kind of music? It's so dark." She asks about half an hour later.
"I'm not sure." I reply honestly. "I suppose that it's beautiful in its own way. It's raw and full of emotion and desire. It reminds me that the world is so much darker than I had experienced as a human. Other people had lives that were far worse than mine and as hard as my life was, I was still able to pick myself back up, dust myself off, and continue on. I was lucky though." I said smiling. "I had two beautiful boys that made every day worth all of the pain and heartache I endured."
"You had children?" Rosalie asks astonished.
"I did. I still do, technically. They're still young. I miss them every day and I can't wait to end this so I can get them back." I reply honestly.
"I always wanted children." Rosalie tells me, "but my life was cut short one night."
As Rosalie proceeds to tell me about her story, I can understand why Jasper said she'd be willing to help me get my kids back. I'm beginning to feel that the friendship between Rosalie and I will only grow from here and I can't wait to have a real friend again. I know I have a friend in Char, and I know I had a mate in Jasper, but I didn't have many friends as a human and I'm not going to deny that the thought of having friends in this life didn't even remotely cross my mind. It would be nice to actually make something out of this life I've been given and making friends was a good way to start. Maybe this life was actually a blessing? I'm not sure, but it would be something to think about…later.
"Thank you for telling me your story, Rosalie." I say to her after she finishes.
"Family calls me Rose." she replies honestly.
"Well, thank you for considering me family, Rose." I reply honestly and a little taken aback at her sincerity. "Before we get too into the serious stuff though, we need to focus on what is coming for us in the next few days. I'm going to leave you to your music while I try to help Bella manage that shield." I state as I stand, give Rose a hug and head out of her and Emmett's room.
I make my way outside and notice that Jasper has a group of wolves and vamps standing around and training to see the best way to take down the newborns. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist and place a kiss just under his right ear.
"Hi Darlin'." he states turning and smiling at me. "What can I do for ya?"
"I was hopin' that I could borrow Edward, Bella, and a few others so we can work on Bella's shield. What do you think?"
"I think that's a brilliant plan." Jasper replies. "Edward, Bella, Jake, Carlisle, Seth, and Embry will y'all follow Amanda so she can work on Bella's shield with her?"
I hear a rousing chorus of "sure" and I'm being surrounded by everyone Jasper called for. I smile at my mate and turn and walk the other direction so I don't influence anyone I'm not meaning to. While we're walking, it gives me a chance to think of a song that may get Bella to project her shield. I don't want to piss her off more than she already is, but I may not have a choice in the matter.
While I'm lost in thought, Edward walks up to me and asks "Why are you so willing to help my mate with her shield? Clearly you don't like her and you definitely don't like me. I don't understand why you would be willing to help us at all."
"Believe it or not, I like helping people, Edward." I state calmly. "We may not get along right now, and honestly we may hate each other after this is over, but that doesn't mean we aren't fighting on the same side and for the same ends. I want to survive this as much as you do, so I'm willing to put my personal feelings aside to get the job done."
"That's very professional." Edward replies.
"Professionalism's got nothing to do with it. It's the end game. We all want to live, so I'm gonna do anything in my power to make that happen." I reply honestly. "And I do mean anything."
"Fair enough." Edward replies quietly.
"Alright, y'all. We're far enough from the house now to be able to start this." I state as everyone gathers around me. "Bella, I know you don't like me very much right now, and frankly, the feeling is mutual."
She glares at me and lets out a little "humph". I was right that I wouldn't be making a friend with her. Oh well, I still had Char and Rose.
"However, as I was explaining to your mate, we have more important things to worry about than our personal feelings towards each other. I'm here to help you and I will do whatever it takes to get the reaction I need from you. Got it?" I ask her hotly.
"Fine." She says just as hotly. This'll be fun.
"I need all of you to stand in front of us. I'm gonna start with something soothing and calming. If I can't get the reaction I need, I'll up my game." I state simply to everyone. "The more songs I go through without getting a reaction, the more I'll have to up the ante. Be prepared for anything you may be doing when you come out of it."
"I'm prepared." Bella states.
"Uh huh. We'll see." I reply back. I start off singing something calming "She Wolf" by Sia is a good and calming song, but it has a bit of a beat to it. I start off with that. I can see as I'm singing that her shield is having absolutely no luck in reaching any of our group. I can tell I'm gonna have to piss her off a bit. That should be fun.
"Breath of Life" by Florence and the Machine is what I choose next. Still nothing. "Dance Without You" by Skylar Grey gets some pretty interesting dance moves going, but still no effect from Bella's shield.
I release everyone from my influence and address Bella. "Alright Bella. I'm gonna have to try something a bit different since I can't seem to give you the right kind of motivation. I mean, making your family dance is rather entertaining, but I'll admit that those aren't the best moves I've ever seen." I state barely managing to hold back my laughter.
The wolves are howling with laughter and the vamps are chuckling a bit, but it's not the reaction I wanted. Hmmm. I'm gonna have to get creative.
The next song I pick is another In This Moment song. Apparently I seem to be in a mood. Adrenalize is a great song, so we'll see what happens.
Adrenalize me
I know this song will probably push the buttons that I need, but at what cost? I begin to walk toward everyone I have under my influence and I sing:
Come a little bit closer, before we begin-I beckon everyone closer to me and they willingly follow.
Lemme tell you how I want it
And exactly what I need
I'm here for one drug
I'm only here for one thing
So come on and tell me
Can you fly like you're free
Cause I need to feel
Yeah, I need to say
I can hear the music in my head and I begin to move my hips to the beat of the music, the reactions I'm getting from everyone are not quite what I need, but I can see Bella's pissed off and glaring at me. So perhaps it's working a little bit.
I must confess
I'm addicted to this
Shove your kiss straight through my chest
I can't deny, I'd die without this
Make me feel like a god
Music, love and sex
(Adrenalize me)
Still nothing, so I take it to the next level and begin to dance a little bit with the music in my head. The guys love this change and before I know it I have hands all over me. I look at Bella, and I can see she's infuriated, but I don't care. She needs to learn to do this. So I continue.
I crave excess
Turning wine into sweat dripping down my neck
I can't deny, I'd die without this
Make me feel like a god
Adrenaline and sex
As I finish the song and seductive dance combo a few minutes later, I realize I'm gonna have to pull out all the stops. It seems that Bella still doesn't have the right motivation. Hmmm. Maybe if I just place Edward under my influence that should get a reaction.
"Ok," I state simply. "Apparently we're still not getting anywhere, so what I want to do is just put Edward under my influence and see if that's enough motivation to get Bella to shield him. Everyone else just stand behind Bella. If she can do what she needs to, then I'll move on to other targets."
Everyone moves behind Bella except for Edward. I walk over to him and stand in front of him. I think to him I'm sorry for what I'm about to do to you. All he says in return is a simple "I understand" before I start on another song. "Whore" by In This Moment. I really must be feeling some kind of way today for this to be a constant theme. I'm sure a therapist could have a field day with this revelation. Oh well, I'll worry about it later. Right now, I have to sing. It doesn't take me long to get the right music to start in my head and before I know it, the first lines have left my mouth.
I'm the girl you've been thinking about
The one thing you can't live without
I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees
I'll have you begging for more
By this point, I have Edward on his knees and crawling to me while I back away from him almost teasing him.
You probably thought I wouldn't get this far
You thought I'd end up in the back of a car
You probably thought that I'd never escape
I'd be a rat in a cage, I'd be a slave to this place
You don't know how hard I fought to survive
Waking up alone when I was left to die
You don't know about this life I've led
All these roads I've walked
All these tears I've bled
I gently lift his face to look in my eyes while I sing the next lines. I can see Bella's practically shaking with anger at the moment, but Edward's still under my influence. I've gotta keep going.
So how can this be?
You're praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything
I stand back up and begin another semi-seductive dance in front of him. I hate myself for it, considering I'd rather be dancing for Jasper, but I'm doing this to try and make Bella as mad as she can get. It's the only way this is really going to work.
I can be your whore
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
I'm beginning to sense something around me, hopefully it's Bella's shield.
I'm the one that you need and fear
Now that you're hooked, it's all becoming clear
That all your judgments that you placed on me
Was a reflection of discovery
So maybe next time when you cast your stones
From the shadows of the dark unknown
You will crawl up from your hiding place
Take a look in the mirror
See the truth in your face
At this point, Edward is still crawling around on the ground, but I can see he's fighting it, so I take my booted foot and kick him just hard enough to land him on his back. Then, miracle of miracles, I can't feel him under my influence anymore. So I turn my eyes to my next target. Jake.
So how can this be?
You're praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything
It takes Jake less time to fall prey to me than it did Edward, but he's also back before I can make him do any groveling. On to Carlisle, then.
I can be your whore
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
Nothing. Carlisle isn't under my influence at all. That's good. So I try Embry next.
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me, you want me, you need me
Nothing from Embry either. Fantastic! Seth is my next target.
Well I can be your whore
I am the dirt you created
I am the sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
Still nothing. I'm beginning to feel very happy about this! So I turn my attentions to everyone to see if it's just individuals or if she's covered the whole group.
Let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
You love me for everything you hate me for
Brilliant! She's managed to cover all of them! That's great news. Now, we just have to figure out if she can hold it while there's fighting going on around her. That's a job for my man, though. I'll need to hunt again. Using my gift this much is exhausting. I manage a very tired "Bella, I'm very impressed. You managed both not to attack me and to cover everyone with your shield. Very well done. Now that you know how it feels and what it does, we can head back, and I can go hunt." I state exhausted.
"You go ahead and hunt." Carlisle says concerned. "I'll let Jasper know where you are."
"Thank you." I say before running off to find my next meal. Apparently my sloshy state before now did help, but not as much as I would have hoped.
