Twilight Saga Eclipse Fanfiction

Transitionals: Eclipse

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the other books in the Saga, they belong to Stephenie Meyer. I do use some phrases, dialogue, and some descriptions from the book, though, they all belong to her.

Okay everyone, before we start I'm going to answer a few questions that were asked. I can't answer all of them at this point but do not fear. Every answer for the questions are either in the story already or going to be, because of this any questions I don't answer, I'll tell you what chapter you can find the information.

First Question: Why did Cissy hate her first baby blanket? Unfortunately this question will not be answered until Transitionals: Breaking Dawn; and because of that I don't know what chapter it will be in. All I can give away right now, is that Toby made the blanket, and he purposefully made sure that Cissy would not like it.

Second Question: Why are the Undermining recruiting Vampires? This chapter is actually going to be answered in the next chapter of Transitionals (Chapter 52 or Cullens' POV chapter 25)

Third, clearing up: This is for the Confusion for Esme's and Gi's Phone call. Esme and the rest of the Cullens knew Gi before Edward met her in Jacksonville. In fact in the next chapter of Transitionals (Chapter 52 or Cullens' POV chapter 25) we are going to have another phone call with her. Since the Cullens were told not to let Bella know about the conversation with Gi the first time (Transitionals Cullens' POV chapter 15-A) we couldn't know about the relationship that was growing between Bella's Second Mother and the Cullens. This chapter of Transitionals: Eclipse though will also help to explain.

Fourth Question: Is Victoria going to be the only "Villain" we'll see in Transitionals: Eclipse? The answer is no, but I can't tell you who else (Or what else) might be seen (read) in the book.

I hope this helped answer some of the questions you all have. I always try my best to make sure you all get the answers as best I can without ruining the story for all of you. As always any other questions can be sent to me with a review or a private message.

To stick with the theme of this Author's Note, I'm going to dedicate this chapter to everyone who has asked a question.

Chapter 14

Sleep had alluded me for a long while. Mentally I was exhausted, and to be honest I could feel the physical exhaustion, but my raging emotions made it impossible to sleep.

Alice had offered to explain after we got back from our run. Even Esme had tried to let her explain, but I couldn't help shutting them out. A part of my mind understood why they had kept this from me. With how upset I was, I couldn't come up a valid reason why my mate would keep it from me, though.

Edward and I were supposed to be a team, partners. Why did it matter that I knew that they were talking with my second mother? She was family, why did she and the others want me in the dark?

When I had finally fallen asleep, it didn't last long. Something would wake me, and thinking it was the alarm to go pick up the others at the airport, I'd get up. It never was the alarm, though.

I groaned and rolled over, doubting again that the alarm had gone off. The more I woke up the harder it was for me to sleep.

I reached for Edward's pillow, wanting to hold it, hoping it would help me sleep.

Someone caught my hand before it could hit the pillow though. Their fingers wrapped gently around my wrist, and electricity ran up my arm.

I opened my eyes in shock, Edward wasn't supposed to be home yet.

The clouds outside were blocking my only source of light, so despite my excellent eye sight, I still couldn't see anything in the dark.

"I must have really upset you, if you wanted to hit me," he muttered softly. Was that remorse in his voice?

I wasn't sure.

"I'm sorry if I woke you," he apologized.

I didn't reply. I didn't know what to say, and I was waiting for the fury from before to come back. All that anger that I had felt within me seemed to have vanished. All I could feel was relief that he was back. He had made it back to me; he was safe. All that anger I had, I couldn't care less about it anymore.

I reached for him with my free hand, searching for his other one. Once I had my finger entwined with his I pulled myself closer to him; I no longer needed to hold his pillow since I could hold him instead.

Edward gently took his hands from mine, choosing to wrap his arms around me instead. He held me to his chest, and I made quick work of finding his lips with my own.

He kissed me back with the same eagerness. He pulled back to quickly, though. He chuckled softly. "I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often."

I pecked his lips with mine. "Just give me a moment."

I felt him smile against my lips. "I'll wait however long you need," I whispered.

Any possible anger that might have been left over was no more. I couldn't be mad at him anymore. There was nothing left.

I settled my head on his chest and he laid his head on top of mine.

"Alice let me know why you were upset with me."

I sighed and he continued.

"We learned about Gi, while you were unconscious after your shields reacted together that one time." He sighed but didn't stop. "We had been talking with your dad about his shield and training yours. We were getting some of our questions answered. After he explained how he uses his shield, sometimes keeping it partially down, Jasper made a connection to your shield. Wondering if you kept your physical shield partially down the same way."

I still couldn't see Edward but I knew he could see me, so I titled my head back and gave him a confused look.

He answered the unspoken question. "There had been times when you were wearing your ring, but Jasper had been able to feel your emotions. At the time he didn't think much of it. Your dad had been worried and he called Gi."

His arms tightened around me. "The two of them discussed the rings, and we learned that someone had been messing with them, causing them to suppress powers instead of helping them. At the time it wasn't too bad, whatever it was wasn't working the way it was supposed. Gi and the people she works with weren't supposed to tell anyone. They didn't want to start a panic. We were told not to tell you. Charlie demanded that wouldn't tell you."

I waited for him to continue, knowing that there had to be more.

Edward didn't disappoint. "When we got back to our house after the attack on Toby's safe house, Gi called Charlie again. Whatever code had been used to mess with the rings, had been fixed but not by them. The rings were now successfully suppressing all the different gifts, some better than most. Apparently the coding was going alphabetically by the last names. She was calling to worn Charlie, letting him know she was doing all she could to give you more time, but she didn't know how long it would take to completely control your ring."

The anger was slowly coming back. "All this time, and I still wasn't told."

Edward brushed at my hair, his fingers combing out my bed head. Effectively helping to calm me down and he knew it. "Charlie wanted to give Gi more time. If she could fix it, it would have been one less thing for you to worry about. He wanted to take as many burdens as he could from you. So when he asked us to continue the secret, none of us felt like it was our place to go against him."

And there it was, the reason I needed to let go of my anger. The reason I shouldn't be mad at any of them. I sighed, pressing my face in his chest. "So when did Esme and Gi start conversing?"

"Your dad called Gi before he suggested you use your shield to help you with your speed. He was worried that something would go wrong if your shield stopped working while you were working on your speed."

My head raised and I hoped I wasn't staring too high, wanting to be staring into Edward's eyes. "My shield worked fine whenever I used it to help control my speed. In fact I noticed anything wrong with my shield."

"Gi, pulled every string, and called in every favor she had, to make sure your ring was constantly supervised by someone she trusted when she couldn't. Since you were with us more often than your dad, he gave Gi, Esme's number. Anytime you were going to work on your speed, Esme called Gi or one of the others would."

He sighed deeply. "Not for a lack of trying, I don't know a lot of the programming for the rings, but Gi had something that she could run through your rings programming that would force the other coding to stop. It stopped working when we were in Volterra. Gi let your dad know, and then we were all told the general information."

I shook my head and laid it back against Edward's chest.

He rubbed my back, his hands moving in slow circular motions. "Esme wants me to tell you why Gi called her yesterday evening."

I hummed, letting him know I was listening.

"Gi called because Carlos sent something else to your ring, but only yours. Gi said he was able to do that because he has the original coding."

I nodded. Carlos was the one who helped Toby set up Anna as my bodyguard so her powers would work with my shields. Toby hadn't gotten it back from him, and I highly doubt we ever would; not when we'd need to. "Did she say what he sent?"

His voice lowered, making him sound uncertain. "She said, that it left breaks in his first attack."

That definitely didn't make sense. "As in, there's time I could work on my shields. Actually use, and continue to train them?" I tried my best to fight back my hope, but it was hard. If I could continue to practice it wouldn't be so hard to control my shields once I was a vampire. I was already expecting that I would need to start completely over.

"Gi, thinks that Carlos is taunting us." Edward growled lowly, "There's breaks where you should be able to train your shields, but Gi can't decode when those set times are. She's figured out that he's allowed an hour a day, but what hour she doesn't know."

I snorted. "I wouldn't put it past Carlos to start the hour at a time beside the half hour or hour mark."

"That's what Gi said too," he muttered. "Now, will you sleep?

I chuckled softly. Sleep wasn't going to come easily, not right now. "Are there any other secrets you are keeping from me?"

I felt his lips press against my hair. "No, not that I can think of.
I rolled my eyes. He could have put a list together in a matter of moments, so hopefully it meant there weren't any more secrets he had.

"Is there anything you wanted to tell me?" I asked hopefully.

My amusement fell. There were plenty of things I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him what had been in the letter. Everything Toby had left for my eyes only, I wanted him to know too. I wanted him to share my knowledge I had of where to find certain artifacts the Undermining were looking for. I wanted to be able to discuss with him some of Cynthia's premonition. I wanted to discuss the premonitions with Alice, that would be an enlightening experience.

I couldn't tell him any of this though, thanks to the letter I knew despite the fact the Undermining still wanted Edward and Aro, they already had a mind reader; and he was far more powerful than either of them.

Only a mental shield could protect all these secrets, so until it was safe, I would have to remain quiet.

"I didn't mean to upset you," Edward whispered in my ear.

I shook my head. "No, I'm sorry. It's not fair, I shouldn't have gotten angry that all of you were hiding things from me; especially given everything I'm keeping from you."

He tightened his arms comfortingly around me. "We understand Bella, sure some of us are more curious than the others, but we do understand that you're trying to protect secrets from getting out to far worse people."

I bit my lip as a felt the gratitude bring tears to my eyes. I fought back the feelings of worthlessness. I fought back the thought of how I didn't deserve having so many caring people who love me. It would just upset Edward too. Besides I knew it wasn't true.

Before I knew what was happening I was drifting off to sleep, while Edward hummed my lullaby.

I wasn't thrilled when I woke up and found out Edward had to leave to go hunt. Emmett and Jasper were already getting back from their hunts, but Edward hadn't gone hunting, wanting to get back to me. Carlisle had opted to wait so he could go with Edward. The two of them needed to hunt though, especially after their adventure, that Edward had promised to tell me about once he got back from hunting.

So dejectedly, I went back to my house while Edward went to hunt. I sat at my desk in my office, deciding to work on something that didn't involve the Rebellion.

I lost track of the time as I went over the monthly book keeping for all three companies. When I finished I checked the time and decided to call Edward. He should be done with hunting by now.

It didn't take him a full ring before he answered. "Bella?"

I laughed at his concern. "I was just calling to…"

Before I could finish the lights in my office went out. They were replaced quickly with a dark blue light. I knew the same thing was happening in every other room in the house. The floor illuminated then and I couldn't help the sudden gasp.

"Bella? Bella what's wrong?" Edward called worriedly over the phone.

I licked my lips nervously. "Someone just tried to get into the house. With Charlie's protective measures though, the house refused to let them onto the property.

"Carlisle and I are on our way. Stay in the house don't go outside or near the doors or window. In fact, go hide, make sure you can't be seen." He hung up then.

I rolled my eyes at the absurdity of Edward's words. I was perfectly safe in Charlie's house. But I knew Edward was going to worry until he was at my side. So to show that I care, I did as he asked. I went to my room, pulling my curtains closed before sitting on my bed.

It wasn't long before my door opened and Edward raced in, wrapping me into a hug before Carlisle even entered. "Come on, Emmett and Jasper are following the scent, we're going to talk to Alice."

Carlisle caught hold of Edward's arm stopping him from leaving. "Edward, we don't know why Alice didn't see this happen, but please calm down. Bella is alright, and I'm sure Alice already feels bad about missing this."

I turned to Edward, my arms crossing over my chest. "Edward, I'm protected in my own home, it doesn't matter if Alice can see me or not."

Carlisle sighed and stopped me from continuing. "Let's all take a step back, try to relax, and then we can discuss this calmly as a family."

Edward and I agreed and we followed Carlisle back to the house.

Only Jasper, and Emmett were missing from the Cullens. My dad was surprisingly sitting on the floor playing with Cissy. She had her doll from Rose in her hands while Charlie had a teddy bear. I smiled at them before taking a seat beside Alice. She hugged me immediately.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't see who tried to get into the house."

I hugged her back. "Alice, it's alright."

She pulled away. "If I had seen him though we'd know who it was."

"Alice, as soon as I get back home, I can check what type of person tried to get in." Charlie told her before continuing playing with Cissy.

Edward turned to Charlie. "You can check that?"

Charlie nodded.

Before we could discuss it further Jasper and Emmett entered the house. Emmett pulled Rose and Anna into his arms, and Jasper took the other seat beside Alice.

"Whoever it was, they had a car waiting for them. We weren't able to get anything," Emmett told us.

Jasper wrapped his arm around Alice's shoulder. "We let Sam know and he and Jacob are checking the scent."

I leaned back, stretching slightly. "Charlie will check to see what specie our attempted intruder was." I let Jasper and Emmett know.

Emmett glanced at Charlie. "After you're done with that meet us down at La Push. Apparently Seth got a camp out together, and they're expecting us to join them tonight."

I grinned. Seth, what a sweet heart.

Charlie shook his head, nut got up, bringing Cissy with him. "Alright, we can go to the camp out, but Bella has school tomorrow."

I grimaced as Emmett laughed.

"So does Edward, and Alice." He teased.

Author's Note

To start off, I would just like to let you all know that the next chapter of the Cullens' POV is going to be late. Hopefully I can finish it tomorrow and get it to you all.

I hope you all liked this chapter, I thought it was fun to write. I really hope it helped clear up some questions.

Now onto my questions.

First of all, any ideas what Carlos is up to? What plans does he have now? Where could he possibly be?

Second question and to be honest my favorite. "Who do you think the attempted intruder was?

I'll see you next time everyone,
