Speed, the number one cause of accidental deaths with Transitionals. This should be fun.

I would like to dedicate this chapter to the reviewers that with their words have encouraged me to continue writing. The people who have pointed out that there are some mistakes in my work, and that my work is nowhere near perfection. For the people who have encouraged me so that I can improve my writing, thank you. Your kind words mean more to me than I can say in this author's note. Thank you.

Chapter 6

I could feel the sunshine on my face, but I wasn't ready to wake up yet.

"I know you're awake Bella." Edward's lips brushed against my ear, tickling me.

I opened my eyes and found his face over mine, his golden eyes focused solely on mine.

"Good morning." He kissed me quickly before I could complain about my morning breath.

He finally gave me enough space so I could sit up, and my world blurred.

"Whoa," I groaned.

Edward gently rested one hand on my shoulder to steady me, while his other hand cupped my cheek comfortingly. We sat like that for an unmeasurable moment while I tried to shake off the shock of moving quickly. My life got a lot harder. I needed to learn some control, soon.

"No better time like the present, to try working on slowing down," Edward encouraged. He kissed the top of my head. "Try focusing your energy on moving slowly."

I laughed, though it sounded more like a sigh. I focused, thinking about moving slowly as I got up, off of the bed.

My feet touched the floor before I could even register the speed. I instinctively threw my arms in front of me as I fell. I waited to hit the floor, even though I knew it wouldn't happen.

Edward's arms wrapped around me, catching me before I could hurt myself.

There was soft ringing in my ears, and I was hyperaware of what I assumed was Edward's breath, which washed over my face. The long expel of air made me think he had sighed.

I didn't get a chance to think about that though because another set of hands gently pulled me away from him. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was Alice.

She led me away. We stopped for a split second before moving in the opposite direction. I realized immediately when we entered the bathroom. I could smell all the different soaps.

Alice helped me with my morning routine. Mostly she kept me from killing myself.

I had to say, I really didn't like losing my sight, but I couldn't stand not being able to hear. If I could hear, I could hold a conversation with everyone. We could discuss what needed to be done. What course of action we needed to take. As of right now, I didn't know how to do that, or how to go about setting up a means of communication.

Alice led me out of the bathroom and back into Edward's arms. I leaned my head against his chest, letting his scent calm me. I knew what was coming next, and I hoped the others were smart enough not to let me take the stairs. Sure eventually I needed to try the stairs but not this soon. I should wait until I had more control.

Edward's grip tightened on me and we sped out of his room, and through the hall. It was too quick. I knew we had to be stopped at the top of the stairs. I shook my head, hoping that Edward would just carry me down the stairs. Surely he wouldn't risk my safety.

I didn't know how long we stood at the top of the stairs, when I was lifted off the ground. My breathing stopped, only to start up again once my feet were safely on the ground. We were seated on the couch a second later.

While I waited for my hearing to return to normal, I rested my head on Edward's shoulder. I could already sense that today was going to be a long day.

"She should be able to hear us now." Alice's voice was hardly audible to my ears.

"Yep, she can hear us," Emmett laughed.

I blushed deeply. Of course the small movements I had made when I had heard Alice's voice, hadn't gone unnoticed.

Emmett's laugh got louder.

The noise was cut of suddenly though, and his voice turned nervous. "Uh, Bella, I uh, I'm sorry."

His apology surprised me, and I whipped my head in his direction. "What are you apologizing for?"

"Your speed, it showed up so you could protect Anna. If I had been paying attention I wouldn't have knocked Jasper into the tree, and you wouldn't have had to save Anna."

"That's not true," Anna spoke up.

"What do you mean Anna?" I could imagine Rose picking Anna up as she asked her question. That was if Anna wasn't already in her arms.

I sighed; wishing I could see.

"Auntie Bella's speed was already there before the tree fell. It's what I felt. See?"

I didn't know who she was showing, but whoever it was made a small noise of understanding.

"That's what she was feeling when she looked like she was in pain," Jasper said.

"Your poor little heart was racing," Rose's voice was clear, the first one that sounded normal.

I sighed and relaxed slightly, now that I could hear normally.

"Well," Emmett paused, "I'm still sorry everyone. I apologize, especially to Anna and Jasper."

"We forgive you Uncle Emmett." I smiled when I heard Anna give him a kiss. She loved her Uncle Emmett.

"Bella?"

I turned my head in the direction of Carlisle's voice. "Yes."

"Your energy level is going to make it harder for you to control your speed. You should go on a run now, and use up some energy."

"Okay, sounds like a plan." I didn't doubt the fact that they could hear my lack of enthusiasm.

A hand that I assumed belonged to Carlisle patted my knee. "I'm going to head to work, if you should need me, don't hesitate to call," he said.

There was a possible chance that I would need him. I could quite easily hurt myself because I couldn't control my speed.

"Don't worry, we won't let anything happen." Edward's promise was sincere, but I knew how quickly something unexpected could happen. I had always been a danger magnet, thanks to my transition; but right now, the danger was me. It was far too easy for me to do myself in at that moment.

During our run, I focused on my sense of smell, while Edward led us through the trees. The forest seemed strange thanks to the different sense. The different scents, gave a new view on the woods; it was a new world. There was scent for everything. The different plants and animals had their own unique smells. I tried to focus on the scents, rather than the lack of my other two senses.

I was startled when we made a sharp U-turn. I wanted to know the reason why, but even though I could ask, I wouldn't be able to hear Edward's answer.

Eventually my other world energy was used up, and I was forced to slow down.

My hearing slowly returned. By the time Edward lifted my into his arms so he could jump over the river, my hearing had gone back to normal. My energy level forced my speed to a human rate by the time we walked through the front door. I still couldn't see anything though.

"Esme has food for you in the kitchen, Bella." Alice's voice came from my right side suddenly.

"Alice," Edward hissed, when I jumped.

"Sorry Bella," Alice's apology had a hint of worry in it.

I smiled, trying to show her that I was fine. "It's alright, Alice."

"Come on; you've got to be hungry." Edward led us into the kitchen.

My nose was assaulted by the delicious smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes.

Edward helped me onto a stool at the counter, and I heard a plate being set down in front of me.

Finally, something I could do without needing my eyes. I could eat with my eyes closed when I was half asleep; something that was proved after I had started taking care of Anna and Cissy.

I ate my breakfast, listening to the sounds of the house. I could hear Edward breathing to the left of me. Someone was moving around the kitchen; I assumed it was Esme. I was able to hear the tv in the living room, and from the little children singing I knew Anna was the one watching. That would mean that Rose was probably watching with her.

"Look out!" Emmett's warning came a second before a crash and then crying.

Edward's strong arms kept me in my seat. "Cissy is fine, Rose is taking care of her."

"What happened?" I had to know.

He sighed. "She moved too quickly in her walker again."

I groaned. "Two people dealing with super speed."

That only made him laugh. "Cissy's a bit faster than you. She's actually using vampire speed."

Shaking my head in exasperation, I finished eating.

"Here, I'll take that Bella." Esme's gentle voice was calm and relaxing. "I'll meet you both in the living room and we can discuss what to do."

I yawned, cutting off my verbal agreement, so I nodded instead.

"Auntie Bella, are you okay?" Anna asked as we walked into the room. She climbed onto my lap once I had sat down.

I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry, but I could make out everyone's shape. It wouldn't take long before I could make out their faces.

I ruffled Anna's curls. "I'm fine, just tired."

Before anyone could stop her, Anna gave me some of her energy. Shockingly the boost in energy helped my eyes adjust more. I could see everyone's faces, it was still kind of blurry but much better than before.

Anna smiled sweetly at me. "Did that help Auntie?"

"Yeah, actually it did. I can see."

Anna grinned brightly.

"Your sights not back to normal but enough for you to see."

I turned and found Jasper looking at an information box.

Esme joined us in the living room. "What is the plan? How do you want to go about this Bella?" She gave me a smile.

I smiled warily, back. "Well, I can either run in a circle or a straight line. That's really all I can do, or think to do."

"Well, let's try the straight line then." Emmett laughed in anticipation. He was looking forward to helping me. I knew though that he was more interested in helping me with my super strength, whenever it comes.

"Before we go," Jasper said quickly, as half of our group had already risen from their seat.

We all waited for him to continue.

"Once we start, Bella won't be able to hear us. We need a way to communicate with Bella."

Emmett raised an eyebrow and his face twisted in confusion. "We only need a signal to let her know it's okay to go, once she's lined up with whoever is catching her. Would squeezing her hand be so difficult?"

"That sounds good to me," I agreed.

"And that's what we want to do?" Jasper asked the others.

They all nodded.

I got up, and almost tripped thanks to my speed. Of course the energy Anna had given me, would give me enough to speed up.

Two sets of hands caught me so I wouldn't fall on my face. "Thanks."

"No problem dear." Esme comfortingly squeezed my shoulder before letting go.

We sped outside to the back yard. The wind whistled in my ears, and my hearing was lost again.

I let Edward and his family, line me up, facing another family member so I could run between them. I sped between the two people, thinking, trying to will myself to slow down. It wasn't working. The only time I was slowing down, was when my energy levels dropped to a human range. Then I was forced to slow down by exhaustion.

Anna would give me some energy so that I could continue to train. I knew she was getting more energy from her sister.

Though I wasn't seeing any results with my control, the excise was useful. I could now identify Edward's siblings, and mom by touch. It was easy with Alice, since she was the smallest. For the same reason, Emmett was easy because he was the biggest. I could tell Jasper apart from Emmett thanks to the difference in their arms. Obviously when I was with Edward I could feel the electricity between us.

It was a little harder to tell Rose and Esme apart, but it didn't take too long to figure it out.

Once Carlisle and Charlie arrive I would have to find the differences between them and Jasper. There was no way I could get them confused with Emmett.

We took a break after noon, so I could eat and relax. We also really needed to put Anna down for a nap, what with how much she was helping me.

The two little girls slept while I ate lunch, and listened to music with Edward.

We hadn't been back to work long, before Carlisle and Charlie showed up.

Edward had gently caught me, helping me to a stop. He took my hand and led me away. We sat down on the porch steps and once my hearing had come back I realized Carlisle and Charlie had joined us.

"How are you feeling Bella?" My dad asked.

I shook my head. "This isn't working."

"That's not what I meant Bells. I already know you haven't been able to make much improvement."

"I'm tired, I'm about ready to crash."

In response to my words Anna climbed onto my lap and gave me more energy.

I hugged her. "Thanks Anna."

A hand was set on my knee before Charlie spoke, making me assume it was his. "I've got an idea for you."

I gave him a clear look that told him to continue.

"Why don't you try to use your physical shield to slow you down?"

I blinked, completely stunned by my dad's idea. I didn't want to think about what would happen if I ran into my physical shield with my speed. The thought sent a shiver down my back.

"Your dad thinks it won't be a problem," Edward said. He gently rubbed my back.

I didn't see how that was possible. Running as fast as I could into my shield would turn me into a human pinball.

"Bella, let me explain what I want you to do." Charlie's voice was thick of authority, so I knew I needed to listen. "Think about how you can wrap your shield around yourself and others. You can you use your shield to keep people in place. You might be able to force yourself to slow down with it. If you can, that would help you gain control."

I ran my hands through my hair; thinking about it.

"Well?" Charlie prompted.

"Let's try it." I nodded, and Anna scrambled off my lap before I got up. Once she was safely off my lap I stood up.

Edward got me lined up and I focused on my physical shield. I let myself get lost in my emotions and my physical shield covered me like a second skin. The added weight was always comforting.

I pushed my shield an inch away from me and took a step. Even though I had only moved an inch, I knew I had moved too fast. I sighed. This was going to take a while.

Everyone was patient though. They could see how difficult this was for me, and eventually my dad's idea did help.

I was able to wrap the shield around me and manipulate it at a normal human speed, while I moved. Forcing myself to move only as fast as my shield was. The process was slow and hard on me though. Just like the night before, I dropped into sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Author's Note

I hope you guys liked this chapter. Next chapter will be more interesting. We'll get to hear how Bella handled the first time going out in public again after gaining control over her speed. We also will see the first day of school. I can't wait.

What did you think about Charlie's idea? Did you think it was going to work or were you thinking along the same lines as Bella? Human pinball.

How do you think Bella is going to handle her first time being out in public? How do you think she is going to handle school? PE?

Any ideas when we'll be seeing Jacob? We will be seeing him, in fact we'll even get to meet Emily in this story.

Speaking of La Push residents, I would like to clarify some things about the transitional creature who is from there.

First of all the transition is different for all transitional creatures. The transition only changes the person into the mythical being they are supposed to be. Bella is turning into a vampire, so she changes into a vampire. The person in La Push is turning into a shape shifter, so they turn into one. But that person has an extra step that other mythical beings don't have. The shape that the shape shifter will take, is decided after the transition is complete. It will be the first creature that the person sees.

The person in La Push has no idea that they are turning into a shape shifter, because a shape shifter is a human that turns into something else. Since they remain human, there isn't much of a difference. The person won't know they're a mythical being until after the transition is complete; or they are found by people who know that person is a transitional creature.

I hope this helps you all to understand what is going on with the transitional creature in La Push.

Until next time,
