Chapter 9

Bella jolted awake at Kyle's shout. Groaning, she got out of bed and left the room ignoring Gorman's protests and her pounding head. Racing down the stairs ungracefully, Bella saw that the others were coming up from the basement and did the only thing she could think of. She launched herself at her cousin and held on tight.

"Bella are you alright?" Kyle asked her frantically, hugging her just as tightly.

"I'm fine and before you kill someone let me tell you what I saw." Bella begged him.

Kyle sighed and nodded letting his baby cousin go but glaring at Pouge. Bella turned to walk away but was hit with a dizzy spell. Tyler grabbed her and took her back upstairs so she could drink the tea Gorman made for her. A few moments later they were leading the others down to the basement. Everyone resumed their seats and Bella sat on Tyler's lap while Kyle and Alex sat on the steps.

"I'm going to tell you what happened but you can't interrupt me." Bella said sternly, "It seems as though Sarah and Kate have joined Phil and Mark and my mother has been helping them. She's even letting Mark marry me."

"I'm sorry, run that by me again." Kyle said not sure if he had heard her right.

"Which part?" She asked him trying to stall.

"The marriage part." He basically shouted at her.

"Uh, she's going to let Mark marry me." Bella said shrinking into Tyler when the fire from the candles around them shot to the ceiling.

Looking around the circle she saw everyone had let their eyes change and they were all pissed. And if they kept it up their parents would come running when they felt that much Power.

"Guys, using that much power at the same time isn't only scaring me but it'll have all of our parents, magically gifted and not magically gifted, running to see what's wrong if my vision hasn't already." Bella told them trying to get them to all calm down.

"Please tell me that that's all." Reid asked her after calming down.

"I wish, they're going to make Caleb, Pouge and myself compliant while they kill the rest of you." Bella said, "Although, I don't think they're going to kill Alex and Kyle since they don't have as much power as the eight of us do."

"I don't think I've ever been happier to be the lowest man on the totem pole." Alex said getting glares from everyone but Bella and Tyler who looked at each other and smirked.

"You know, even though Bella and I are in the immediate circle, when you two asend in two weeks you'll technically be stronger than us til we asend." Tyler said smirking while Bella giggled into his neck.

"Baby Boy has a point." Reid said trying not to laugh at the look on his cousin and his other friends face.

"Wait," Kyle said,"We'll be stronger than the both of you for close to a year?"

"Yep." Bella said giggling

"Great." Kyle said collapsing back in his chair.

"Why the long face Ky?" Bella asked through her giggling.

"Shut up Belle." Kyle said smiling when he saw his cousin smiling again.

After making sure that they had a plan put together everyone decided to spend time with the person that they were ranked with on how much power they had. Bella and Tyler had decided to got to their secret place in the woods.

"So how are you dealing with this new development?" Tyler asked her once they reached the small meadow that always seemed to stay green and there were always flowers.

"I don't know how to answer that." Bella sighed before sitting on the ground.

"You might want to figure that out before we get back to the others." Tyler said sitting next to her.

"You're such an ass." Bella groaned. "I totally forgot about that then you go and mention them."

"Sorry Belly," Tyler laughed dodging her punch. "So want, to tell me about you and Pouge?"

"There isn't anything going on and if there is, it'll have to wait," Bella said. "Even though I would love nothing more than to be in a relationship with Pouge, he just broke up with Kate and we have to work on a way to take her, Sarah, Phil, Mark and my mom. Preferably without killing the girls."

"You're so self-sacrificing." Tyler said looking at her with a mix of awe and sadness.

"Well, considering who my mother is, I'm going to say that I got it from my dad." Bella said joining in with Tyler's laughter.

They were so preoccupied with their laughing that they didn't notice the shift in the air. A twig snapping made them stop and look around. Bella had just moved away from Tyler when something blurred toward her and knocked her into a tree. Shaking her head she looked up and saw that Tyler was fighting another one.

"Well look what I found?" A high pitched voice said.

"Victoria." Bella said looking at the red head.

"Where are your Cullens?" The red head taunted.

"Don't know, don't care." Bella said before letting her eyes bleed black and push Victoria from her.

She made sure to have a blue blue shield around Victoria before going to help Tyler. Grabbing his hand, they were both able to crush him into dust and lit a fire before turning to Victoria.

"You're not worth it. And neither am I because if Edward really loved me, he wouldn't have left me," Bella said calmly. "So I'm going to give you three choices, one you can keep fighting and die. Two you can walk away and look for the Cullens and tear Edward apart. Or three you can stay here and we can try to find something to turn you back into a human."

"Why would you want to do that for me?" Victoria asked shocked.

"Because, your mate was ripped from you just because he could smell my power. So what are you going to choose?" Bella asked her.

"Can I choose options two and three?" Victoria asked making Bella smile softly at her before lowering the shield from around her.

"Yes, but you should try and not attack when you get back though ok?" Bella said getting a laugh from the red head, "And if you can't get back before this circle dies, I'll leave instructions for any future ones."

"Thank you, and when I do get turned back into a human you'll have another witch on your side." Victoria said shocking everyone.

"I really hope you find them before I die." Bella said getting a laugh from Tyler and Victoria.

"So do I Bella." Victoria said smiling before turning around and leaving.
