Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Twilight. I do use some sentences directly from the book, I don't own them. They were originally and forever owned by Stephenie Meyer.

I would like to take this moment to thank the people who favorite, put the story on Alert, and reviewed; thank you so much. I enjoyed reading the thoughts of the people who reviewed, and seeing some answers to my questions. I also liked the questions that I was asked. I promise they will be eventually answered at some point in the story. I'm really glad to know that you guys like the story and want me to continue.

And finally -before we start the next chapter- for the people who guessed Rosalie and/or Emmett as the people I originally had helping Bella during her first lunch, you were right. I couldn't bring myself to have one of the other Cullen siblings meet Bella before Edward though, so I changed it.

Alright, here is the sixth chapter of Transitionals; I hope you guys like it. It's time for the car crash scene.

Chapter 6

I was shaken awake, but when I attempted to jerk into a sitting position, strong arms pinned me against the bed. Normally I would have panicked but I didn't want to wake the girls; besides I knew for a fact I wasn't in any danger. I opened my eyes and found myself staring into the eyes I had inherited.

Charlie still had his hands pressing me against the bed. "Don't move," he whispered. He let go of me and nodded towards the little girl who had curled up on top of me.

I couldn't help smiling at Anna.

"From what I heard, you used to sleep like that on her dad." Charlie smiled teasingly.

My smile vanished, and as gently as I could I scooted Anna off of me. Charlie sensed the change in my mood, and he apologized, realizing his mistake too late.

I needed a distraction so I looked at my phone. It was four thirty. "Is there a reason you woke me an hour before my alarm?"

Charlie nodded before pointing to my window. "It snowed last night. And the rain from yesterday is now ice. You need to leave earlier so you can drive slower."

I glanced out the window and grimaced.

"Would you like to me to drive you to school?"

A part of me wanted to tell him yes, but I knew I would never take his offer. I didn't want or need the attention that would come to me by being dropped off at school, by my dad, in his cruiser. "I'll be fine dad, thank you though," I tacked on at the end.

Charlie nodded, not really knowing what else to do. He left then, giving me some privacy to change.

All throughout the morning I thought about the pros and cons of skipping today. Charlie wouldn't be happy if we didn't go, especially since he had offered to take us. I also needed to prove to myself I could drive in this stuff, I didn't want to have to rely on Charlie every time it snowed.

By the end of breakfast I had convinced myself that going was my only option, so I packed up our stuff and headed out the door. I made it to the top of the steps before my confidence took a hit.

All I needed to do was look at the extent of Charlie's work to make a safe path from the house to my car, to realize this would be a challenge.

Anna looked up at me. She wrapped her arms around my leg and looked extremely nervous. She shook, though it wasn't from the cold.

I set Cissy's carrier down, and knelt in front of Anna. "What are you feeling?"

She pressed her hand against my cheek, and I felt a clammy sensation, signaling disaster.

"Then let's put this on." I grabbed my ring and put it on my finger, then picked Cissy's carrier back up. Since no one was around to witness my powers, I was free to use them to get to the car.

My physical shield formed a nice cushion around Anna and me. I pushed it out, keeping, Anna and me up right, and removing the chance of falling. Sadly I couldn't help the sliding, but my shield kept us on our feet.

After we were all buckled in, I started the slow trip to the school. I was surprised at how little trouble I had driving in the snow; especially since it was a new experience for me. I did drive slower than normal, but the car seemed to have no trouble.

I pulled into the parking lot, keeping a close eye on what I was doing. I didn't even glance in the direction of the shiny silver Volvo, and its owners. I focused on parking the car.

I climbed out of the car, and my feet threatened to slide out from under me. It took a few minutes before I was steady enough to move.

As I unbuckled Anna I thought about how I was supposed to carry Cissy through the snow. With my balance and the slick ground thanks to the snow and ice, I was not going to be able to carry her. It was a simple fact that I had to admit too, I was going to have to have help.

Anna hugged my leg trying to get used to the slick ground. I was used to a lack of balance, she wasn't, and she didn't like it.

I closed her door and took hold of her gloved hand. She pulled against my grasp and we almost went down. "What is it Anna?"

She pointed to the back tires and gave me a curios look.

Something silver caught my attention. Moving carefully, I stepped beside the back wheel. I brushed my hands against the chains Charlie had put on, at who knows what hour of the early morning.

Tears sprang to my eyes. The very idea of being cared for, was hard for me to deal with. I had been the one to care for my mom, but here, Charlie was caring for me. Sure the other members of my family had cared for me, but not in the everyday sense. The way kids needed to be cared for; that had always been my job.

Anna stiffened beside me. I didn't get a chance to ask her what was wrong, because at that moment a frightening sound came to my ears. It was a high pitched screech, and it was fast becoming painfully loud. I looked up, startled.

Thanks to my somewhat improved eyesight, and brain, I was able to absorb in clear detail several things at once.

Edward Cullen, and his siblings were standing beside their car, four cars down. The five of them were staring like the rest of the student body at the dark blue van that was skidding, tires locked and squealing against the brakes, spinning wildly across the ice of the parking lot.

At the moment no one knew where the van was going to end up; but then that moment ended, and I knew.

"Auntie Bella!" Anna yelled.

Five heads whipped towards me, and their faces were panicked.

I didn't think, I couldn't. Those two little words had shattered what I thought I had left of my heart. My breath was knocked out of me. I felt the car against my back, but I didn't remember pressing against it.

I didn't have a chance to get Anna back in the car, for the added safety. I was going to have to use my shield, and hope no one would notice.

Something slammed into me, hard, but not from the direction I was expecting. My head cracked against the icy blacktop; my shield kept me from getting hurt though. I tried to get up but something hard and cold was pinning Anna and me down.

It didn't take me long to figure out who, was pinning us down. The electricity was buzzing around and through me. Edward. I opened my eyes and was actually shocked at what I saw. Edward was indeed on top of us, but Rosalie was kneeling in front of us, with her hands out stretched. She had stopped the van before it could even hit my car.

She had a look of fierce determination as she kept the car from squishing us. The van settled, glass popping, onto the asphalt.

There was silence for one long second before the screaming began. My name filled the air, but I couldn't hear anything but Edward's frantic voice.

"Bella? Are you alright? Is Anna?"

"I'm okay," Anna's muffled voice spoke from between Edward and me.

Rosalie turned to the three of us, at first her eyes were filled with worry, but then they filled with happiness. "She talked. Anna sweetie you talked." She pulled Anna out from between us and hugged her tightly.

"Rose," Edward growled. "They need to stay still. Worry was once again on Rosalie's face. She was shocked at what she had done. Obviously living with a doctor she should have known better than to move Anna before checking for injuries.

I tried to get up, but Edward held me against the side of his body, in an iron grasp. "Be careful, I think you hit your head pretty hard." He told me while I struggled.

They idea of me hurting my head when my shield was around me, was laughable. "I'm fine."

The crowd was surrounding the cars around us. They were shouting at each other, shouting at us. Someone was yelling that an ambulance was on the way, while another was trying to organize our rescue.

The van was shifted away by a group of boys, two of them I recognized as Emmett and Jasper. I knew either one of them could have moved it on their own, but of course not in front of the humans.

Alice squeezed through the crowd thanks to her size. She looked frightened, and upset. With everyone watching she threw her arms around Rosalie then Edward. "You just had to talk to her before school started."

She was setting up the story, making it seem like Rosalie and Edward had been beside me instead of four cars away. Her eyes pleaded with me to stick to the story. I wouldn't expose them, I had my own secrets, I knew how important it was to not be exposed.

"Are you guys okay?" Emmett asked. He and Jasper were successfully, while unintentionally, keeping the rest of the student body from getting any closer to us.

Rosalie glanced down at Anna before meeting my gaze. "Bella hit her head but Anna seems to be okay."

My face flushed red and I felt my temper rise. I tried to get up to prove I was alright but Edward pushed my shoulder down.

"Just stay down for now."

"But it's cold," I complained. It was a perfectly good excuse, even though the cold doesn't bother me. He and his siblings laughed under their breath.

Cissy started crying then.

"I've got her Bella, don't move." Alice got up off the ground, and climbed into the car from Anna's side. When she climbed out she had Cissy firmly in her arms.

The sound of the ambulance came to my ears. I glanced towards the sound even though I wouldn't see anything but the car I had parked beside. My gaze passed by Jasper and Emmett and I saw both of their lips move quickly, but they talked too low for me to hear what they were saying.

I closed my eyes and solely focused on my hearing.

"What were you guys thinking, you've exposed us," Jasper whispered. Surprisingly though he didn't sound too angry, in fact he sounded relieved. Being exposed was never a good thing, so why wasn't Jasper angry. My thoughts made it hard to focus on my hearing.

"I couldn't let them get hurt," I thought I heard Rosalie hiss.

"We'll talk about this later, but we need to know what we're going to do about that dent." Emmett had a good point. The van had a nice size dent thanks to Rosalie's hand, but the humans had to know that the van didn't hit anything.

I groaned, unable to take the strain any longer from focusing only on my hearing.

"What hurts Bella," Five worried voice asked me.

I shook my head, only to have it forced still by Edward. The electricity burst from his fingertips, and I shuddered at the touch. He let go.

"Stay still Bella," he ordered.

The ambulance arrived then. Edward and Rosalie were able to convince the paramedics that they didn't need a stretcher, but they told them I had hit my head. Humiliation colored my face as they put on the neck brace. It looked like the entire school was there, watching as I was loaded up into the back of the ambulance.

To make matter worse Charlie arrived before they could get me safely away.

"Bella," he yelled as he rushed over to us.

"I'm completely fine Char- Dad," I sighed. "There's nothing wrong with me." I gave him a look that he would recognize, completely forgetting that the Cullens were watching me like a hawk; they didn't miss it.

Charlie played up the role as the worried father and turned to the nearest EMT for a second opinion.

I was presented with a predicament when Anna refused to let the EMT's close the door. Rosalie and Alice had to climb into the back of the ambulance so Anna and Cissy were still with me.

Charlie led the way to the hospital. I felt ridiculous the whole time they were unloading me. My anger was getting the better of me, as I watch Edward and Rosalie walk into the hospital of their own free will.

They put me in the emergency room on one of the beds. Unfortunately Rosalie wouldn't let me take off the neck brace.

Tyler was brought to the bed beside mine. Covered in blood stained bandages, he looked terrible, but he glanced at me anxiously. "Bella, I am so sorry."

"I'm fine Tyler – you look awful. Are you alright?"

As we talked a nurse came and started unwinding his bandages, revealing shallow cuts all over his forehead and left cheek.

He ignored me. "I could have killed the two of you. I hit the ice wrong. I'm so sorry." He winced slightly as the nurse dabbed something on his wounds.

"Don't worry about it Tyler, we're all okay, well mostly." I smiled sympathetically at him.

"How did the two of you get out of the way?"

Rosalie sniffed indignantly. "Edward and I were standing right by them Tyler." I heard her hiss lowly, but knew Tyler wouldn't have heard the noise.

Tyler glanced at her, blinking in a kind of daze. "I'm so sorry, I guess I didn't see you. Are you alright?"

Rose stuck her nose in the air. "Fine."

After a little while I was wheeled in to get my head x-rayed. That was a disaster. Anna freaked out the instant they tried to wheel me away, the nurse allowed Rosalie and Alice to follow us with the girls.

I tried to tell the nurses that nothing was wrong with me, and there wasn't. I didn't even have a concussion; but sadly I was trapped until the doctor gave me permission to leave. I was thankful though when the nurse took the neck brace off.

Edward walked in then with the man we had met at the grocery store.

Dr. Cullen smiled at Alice, and Rosalie and the girls before turning to me. "So, Miss Swan, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," I sure hope I didn't have to tell anyone else that.

He walked to the lightboard on the wall over my head, and turned it on. "Does your head hurt? Edward said you hit it pretty hard."

I shot a glare at Edward and repeated my last statement.

Dr. Cullen inspected my head, carefully checking for any sort of bump. He wasn't going to find one I realized.

"Well, your father is in the waiting room, I see no reason why you can't go home; but come back if you feel dizzy or if you have any trouble with your eyesight."

I didn't argue that I was fine to go back to school, Charlie wouldn't let me anyway. I may not have gotten hurt, but there would be other repercussions that I would have to deal with thanks to the crash. I swung my legs off the bed and hopped down. Unfortunately I had moved to quickly, and I stumbled into Dr. Cullen. He steadied me then let his arms dropped to the side.

Alice refused to let me take Cissy from her, and Rosalie wasn't let go of Anna; so I was forced to walk with the two of them, while Edward followed behind us.

Alice turned down a hallway, leading away from the waiting room.

"Where are we going?" I demanded to know.

Alice grinned at me. "We need to talk with you Bella."

The little voice in my head started to freak out. This was a bad idea, I couldn't talk with them. I needed to find a way out of this, but how, when two of them had Anna and Cissy. I was going to have to go through with the talk; at least I could relax with the knowledge that they couldn't keep me here, if I didn't tell them what they wanted to know.

They walked into an office which I found out was Dr. Cullen's. I was surprised to see Emmett and Jasper inside waiting for us.

Alice quite happily handed Cissy over to Emmett, and planted her hands on her hips, turning to me. "Let's just go ahead and make this quick Bella. I know you know what we are?"

These words shocked everyone else. The other Cullens gawked at Alice, but I was thrown for a loop. How could she possibly know that?

Alice laughed. "I can see the future Bella? And I can see your future, as long as you aren't wearing your ring." She glanced at my hand.

I glanced down at my hand as did the others.

"So that's what's been blocking your guys' powers," Emmett said with recognition. So I had been right. Edward, Jasper, and Alice did have powers.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Come on Emmett, the rest of us figured it out yesterday when we saw her put her ring on, and Alice couldn't see her anymore."

"That's not all it blocks." Anna piped up then.

I glared at Anna, knowing I wouldn't be able to pull her free of Rosalie's grasp. "Anna," I warned

Alice continued to grin at me. "We already know that it's concealing the smell of your blood. Come on Bella, you know our secret, you can trust us with yours."

I looked away from all of them, but the limited options made it were I was staring at the ground.

"We won't tell anyone. You can trust us." I knew from Rosalie's voice that she meant what she said.

"Just leave it alone." I couldn't let them in, and I wouldn't.

"Bella, I've seen you when you had your ring off, and I know for a fact you won't expose us. Trust us to keep your secret." Alice let her arms fall to her side, relaxing her stance.

I couldn't do that. I couldn't put anyone else in danger; and they would be if they knew my secret. Anyone who tried to protect me would be.

Emmett crossed his arms over his chest. "It's not like we're going to hurt you."

"Just forget about it. Or pretend to, since you can't forget." My voice broke on that last word, sadly I couldn't forget either.

The door of the office opened and for a second I was afraid it was Dr. Cullen, thankfully it was Charlie.

Charlie's eyes glanced at the five of them before turning in my direction. "We need to be heading home, Bells, you need to rest."

Alice turned to Charlie, a pleading look in her eyes. "Chief, you have known us for two years now, you know we're trust worthy. We wouldn't do anything to harm you or your family. I know you know about us too." This surprised the others too.

Charlie glanced at me thoughtfully and Alice decided to turn her attention to me again. "Bella,"

I stopped her there. "Just let it go."

"We're not going to," she planted her fists on her hips; challenging me.

"In that case… I hope you enjoy disappointment."

Alice's eyes narrowed. "This isn't over."

Charlie took Cissy from Emmett. "Thanks for driving Bella's car over," He thanked him kindly, but his words were putting this conversation to an end.

Emmett nodded.

Rosalie set Anna down and went to the desk. She grabbed a post it note and wrote something down, handing it to me before we could leave. "Whenever you're ready to talk, call me."

I glanced down at the phone number and knew I wouldn't call it.

Author's note

I think this was the hardest chapter for me to right; but I finally got it, how I wanted it. So Alice spilled the beans and now the Cullens will be trying to figure out Bella's secrets. When will Bella be ready to talk?

Okay you guys, so what did you think about the new information you learned about Bella? Why do you think she can hear the Cullens when she focuses just on her hearing, but not normally? Do you think her other senses work in the same manner?

Any ideas, guesses, how the Cullens are going to get Bella to warm up to them, and start talking?

The Cullens know about the ring, but do you think they know about her powers?

I hope you guys like this chapter. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on it, and if you see any sort of writing mistakes, please let me know.

Get ready for the next couple of chapters, because it's time to start learning some new things about this Bella.

Until next time,
