Chapter 17

Fire scorched the ground and the walls, and the smoke was threatening to suffocate me. I couldn't see and I couldn't get my shields to work.

I raced down another hall, unsure of which way I was going but I knew if I could lead them away Toby and the others would have an easier time of fighting. If I could distract the Hunters long enough we could all get away no problem.

I slammed into a wall, my feet were knocked out from below me and I hit the ground.

Another wall pressed against my back, forcing me into a sitting position. My knees were forced to bend, my feet pressing into another wall. I was being sealed in.

The wall behind me shattered much like glass and a hand grabbed hold of my arm pulling me to my feet.

"I got you, hold on."

I clung to Toby as tightly as I could. I forced my mind to find my physical shield, it was a strain but I fought to put it around Toby.

"Where's your ring?" he asked as he stepped into a room.

He helped me settle on my own feet catching hold of my elbow when I started to pitch forward.

I was shaky and with my current balance problems, I didn't feel stable.

Toby rested his hands on my shoulders and looked down into my eyes. "Where's your ring, Bella?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. I tried to put it on to help back there but I was hit from the side and it fell out of my hands. I don't know what happened to it.

Toby sighed and glanced out the door of the room.

I tugged at my t-shirt. The heat from the flames had already penetrated this part of the house even though the fire hadn't made it this far yet.

"Get out of the house as fast as you can. Find a way to get to your dad in Forks." Toby rested his hand on my shoulder again and gave it a gentle squeeze.

He vanished from my sight, no doubt heading back to the fight. I wouldn't put it past him to have him jumping from one family to the next making sure that they were all safe.

I waited by the door trying my best to listen to see if there was any danger outside. I did not want to run into another Hunter and get trapped in another sealer.

When I was sure that it was safe I ran. I ignored the burning in my chest as the smoke and flames drew near, mixing with my protesting lungs. I ignored the stiffness setting into my limbs.

Something flew over my head hitting the ceiling just ahead of me. It disintegrated bringing part of the floor above me down. I lunged forward, needing what was falling to block whoever had come behind me.

I rolled and scrambled back to my feet. Turning around the corner I threw open the door to the courtyard. If I cut through it and entered through the kitchen I could get to the main entrance and more importantly one of my Grandfather's transporters.

I was almost to the door when I heard the scream.

I'd know that scream anywhere.

Anna.

Toby's instructions fluttered through my thoughts but the next scream made up my mind.

I shoved the opposite door open and ran for the playrooms. It would have been where Anna and the other kids had gone to as soon as the fight had started. They would have been safe there. The fire was the problem.

The fire had destroyed most of this side of the house already. The flames hardly had anything left to continue to burn.

"Auntie!"

I turned to the cry but froze at what I saw. I shook my head clearing it and forced myself to cross the hall to get to Anna.

Anna knelt beside her mom.

Tessa glanced up at me. "Can you lend a hand?"

I nodded and shoved at the beam that was pining Tessa's leg to the ground.

Anna stood beside me offering as much strength as she had to help move the huge piece of cedar.

"Can you use your shield?"

I glanced down at Tessa. Despite the fact she was trapped under the beam she wasn't concerned. She glanced hopefully up at me.

If I had my ring I could have used my shield with no problems, but I was really struggling right now.

It took a little bit but I was able to push the beam off of Tessa's leg.

She offered a soft smile before using her magic on her leg, healing it. "Come on, we need to get out of here."

"Where's Cissy?" I couldn't help asking.

Tessa spared Anna a glance before meeting mine. "My mom had her last, but I'm not sure where they went." She bent down and lifted Anna up, passing her to me.

"Anna, make sure Auntie Bella gets out safely, find her the best path, Mommy's going to get Cissy."

Anna nodded. She pressed her hand against my cheek letting me feel all she was sensing. There was so much to sift through, how was she doing it.

"This way Auntie." Anna pointed back the way I had come from.

I followed her instructions letting her lead me through the house. As I had planned before we went through the kitchen.

We were almost to the main entrance when a white-hot ball of energy flew passed us. I froze, waiting to see who would step around the corner.

Another ball of energy was thrown at us and I ran for the front doors. I didn't know if it was a member of the Undermining or if the Hunters' had managed to take control of my cousin Clint and I didn't want to know.

I didn't bother to take the time to see if there was a transporter, I just raced out the door. I rushed down the front steps when I felt Cissy's sensation through Anna's powers.

"Cissy is over there," Anna pointed off towards the right of the house.

Cissy was just a baby barely two months old. There was no way I was leaving her alone, especially since with everything else Anna was getting she couldn't sense any other family.

I ducked behind the large bushes that were growing along the side of the house, making sure no one would be able to see me. Naturally the Hunters could still track me with their signs, but it was better than nothing.

"I got you," Anna said as she found Cissy.

Cissy was cradled safely in a family orb, only the energy of a family member could break it. I should have known that Cissy would have been put in one as soon as the fight started.

I broke the orb and picked up Cissy, holding her tightly in my arms. "It looks like your grandma was trying to send her to Grandpa Ray." I picked up the small transporter recognizing the address as one of Grandpa Ray's house.

That would have been the perfect place. He'd get Cissy and know that something was wrong. I couldn't help but wonder if someone had managed to send out word for help. The family house was huge, so I couldn't tell whether or not anyone had come to help yet.

A hand came down on my shoulder and I jumped.

"You don't want to break your other hand, Bella."

I glanced around the room gasping for each breath. I was back in my bedroom, just me and Edward sitting on my bed.

Edward had a hold of my good hand. I must have tried to hit him when I woke up from the memory.

He released my hand and I brushed at my hair, surprised to find it stuck to my head with sweat.

I tried to ignore the concern he was aiming my way, but it was difficult. It was rare for me to dream about the attack. Usually I woke up a lot sooner. The fact that I hadn't worried me.

I needed to get out of bed, out of my room. The lingering effects weren't easy to shake off and the longer I stayed in my room the harder it would be to get over it.

As I climbed out of bed I made sure to move slowly, I was already feeling shaky.

"Bella, you're worrying me?" Edward moved slowly, climbing off the bed and coming to my side. He helped me off the bed, catching me as I stumbled.

Words I never would get used to saying escaped my mouth. "Call Emmett, please."

For the past week since my strength had come in, Emmett had quite happily helped me work with my strength. With my broken wrist I was still having to take it easy. We hadn't tried anything besides trying to move his frozen form. I hadn't been able to budge him but it really helped with my strength, I hadn't had to worry about school and wasn't having any problems with my strength there.

The plan was to try to go to school today without draining my strength, but after that nightmare of a memory, I needed to.

I was shaking by the time Emmett showed up with Jasper.

Jasper sat on the couch filling the room with his calming influence.

Emmett ruffled my hair. "Come on Lil' sis let's get to work."

If only I had his enthusiasm. I shoved my shoulder against him, focusing my mind solely on the attempts to move him.

I fought back my thoughts on the past, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get it out of my head.

The memories were flooding me. I backed up after a while, unable to do any more.

"I got to get ready for school."

I raced up the stairs to my room, missing the concerned looks between Edward and his brothers.

The very idea of going into my room again sparked my anxiety. I couldn't pinpoint what had caused it, what had brought on the memories, and I didn't know why I was struggling so much.

"Come on Bella," Rose came up behind me. I should have known that she was here. Alice was probably in the girls' room already.

Alice stepped out of my room instead. She handed me a stack of clothes. "We need to get going soon."

I nodded but I turned and hurried for the girls' room. I took a shower in their room and changed. By the time I left the restroom, Anna was awake and sitting up on her bed dressed. Cissy was still sound asleep in her bed.

"Are you okay, Auntie?"

My arms subconsciously wrapped around my middle. I hadn't done that in a while, and she knew it.

Anna climbed off her bed. She wrapped her arms around my legs. She didn't say anything but she didn't need to.

I ruffled her hair before heading downstairs.

Edward had a plate with two slices of toast on it. The thought of food wasn't appealing, but I took it anyway.

During the car ride to school Alice chatted excitedly about something but I couldn't focus. I hummed here and there to show my support but my mind was mainly thinking about my family.

"Oh Bella, you're the best!" Alice squealed excitedly as the car stopped.

I blinked back my surprise at already being at school.

"It doesn't count Alice, Bella wasn't paying attention." Edward shot Alice a warning look.

Alice got out of the car and shut the door with a sharp click. "She…"

"It doesn't count," Edward reiterated.

I glanced from one to the other. "What did I miss?"

"I have foreseen…" Alice began in an ominous tone.

Edward glared down at her and she huffed loudly.

"Fine, Edward's making me do this, but I did see foresee that you would be more difficult if I surprised you."

"Alice, I don't think right now is a good time to discuss this," Edward hissed lowly.

Now I was worried.

Alice rolled her eyes before taking my hands in hers. "We're having a graduation party. Nothing to freak out about, but I saw you would freak if I tried to surprise you."

I sighed heavily. "Is there any point in arguing?"

"None at all."

"Fine, I'll go, but I wish you had waited a few weeks to tell me about it. Now it's just one more thing I have to stress over."

Alice frowned at me.

"Bella," she said slowly. "Do you know what day it is?"

"Monday?" I was starting to worry.

Alice stopped beside her classroom's door. "Yes. It's Monday… the fourth." She pointed to the poster hanging on the door.

There in big bold black letters was the announcement for this year's graduation, scheduled for next week. Just seven days away.

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't focus on anything besides the fact I had completely missed the date. The days had flown by, we had just recently finished our finals of course graduation was just around the corner. I had been so focused on everything else going on in my life, what with the Rebellion and Toby's companies.

By the time lunch had rolled around I was sure I was looking more like a zombie than a human.

I took my seat at our table and really took a look at it.

I didn't really spend much time with my human friends, but now that Jasper, Rose and Emmett were gone, and it was just Edward, Alice and I, we had ended up at the same table as my old table mates.

Angela had been the one to invite us and Alice had accepted before either Edward or I could.

She especially liked sitting with Angela and the others, she just liked being social. I knew Edward would have preferred sitting somewhere just the three of us.

Angela rested her hand on mine. "Are you alright Bella?"

All conversations around the table seemed to end. I blushed deeply at all the attention. "I'm alright just lost in thought."

Alice laughed quietly. "I thought it was getting close to nap time."

A few others laughed as I stuck my tongue out at her.

"You know you should come to one of our get-togethers." Jessica fluttered her eyelashes at Edward before remembering that she was supposed to be dating Mike.

The others around the table agreed immediately, except for Lauren. She and I were never going to be friends, and I was more than okay with her.

I didn't really feel like going out, but before I could decline Alice accepted.

"That would be awesome. If we went Friday, Jasper could come too." She smiled her most charming smile, disarming the entire table.

"Dinner and a show," Ben suggested quietly.

I sighed inwardly before placing a smile on my face. "That sounds like a lot of fun. I'll need to see if Esme can watch the girls but that shouldn't be any trouble.

Edward wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "I doubt Esme will mind, she loves watching Anna and Cissy."

He got up and offered his hand to me. "If you'll excuse us, Bella's got an appointment for her hand."

"What exactly did you do to your hand, Bella? You never did tell us," Lauren asked snidely.

I bit back the sharp retort I wanted to shoot at her.

"Emmett was trying to teach her some self-defense. She hit pretty hard, but his head was harder." Alice sighed deeply and glanced at my broken hand sadly.

I couldn't help laughing at her story.

Edward took that moment to lead me out of the cafeteria and to his car.

"Where are we going?"

He glanced back at the cafeteria so I did too. Alice was skipping towards us. She smiled when she stopped beside the car.

"I saw that the sun was going to make a surprise visit so we should really be going."

I climbed into the car immediately.

"I got all the details for Friday from Angela. It should be a fun night." Alice leaned forward from the back seat. "What's the chance that you'd drop me off in Port Angeles before you go back to Bella's house?"

Edward rolled his eyes. He grabbed his phone. I couldn't hear what he was saying to the person on the other end, but I could guess.

I wasn't surprised when I saw that Rose was waiting with Anna outside our house.

The three of them eagerly headed out to shop for who knows what, and Edward lead me inside.

I sat down on the couch and waited for Edward to join me.

"So, what are we doing since we're not getting my hand checked out?"

"Bella, you scared me this morning."

That was not what I thought he was going to say.

Edward cupped my face between his hands. His eyes searched mine and I wasn't sure what he was looking for.

"I couldn't wake you, nothing I did helped. Your dad had already left and I was so close to waking Anna to see if she could wake you up."

He wrapped me in his arms. "You've been out of it all day, and then at school, with the date."

I gently pushed back so I could look up at him. "The date just caught me by surprise. I've been so busy that I didn't realize that graduation was so soon."

Edward pressed his forehead against mine. "Please tell me what's bothering you, I know that there's something else."

I closed my eyes and dragged in a shaky breath. "This is a big step in my life, and it's just hard knowing that it will only be Charlie and the girls…" I couldn't finish that thought but I knew that he understood.

"Do you think that's why you dreamt about them?"

I glanced up at him curiously. "How do you know I dreamt about them?"

Edward brushed my hair back away from my face. "I've seen Anna's reactions to the nightmares about the attack. The two of you react similarly. They aren't nightmares though, are they?"

I bit my lower lip nervously and shook my head. "Worse, memories."
