Parker's POV

Edward swore in about fifteen different languages.

"They found her." Horror washed through the room, even Jasper's calm mask was shattered.

Alice suddenly gasped, her body going ridged for the second time in two minutes. Edward snapped to attention, a small glimer of hope in his expression.

Everyone looked at Alice as she saw the rest of her vision. "Another vampire found her and helped out." She said with an astonished tone. "Someone turn on the TV; I saw a gas station go up in flames in my vision, that's bound to make the news. We might be able to figure out where they are."

Emmet jumped up and immediately turned on the television set.

Jasper's head shot up. "What vampire would stand up against the Volturi?"

"The Volturi?!" I stared at him in horror.

Carlisle decided to explain for my benefit. "Long story short: Edward fell in love with a human. The Volturi, through a series of misunderstandings, found out about her. They gave us time to change her, and we agreed we would, but they've showed up to check on her before we had the chance to alter her mortality."

Esme finished. "We let her drive off on her own, hoping to play it off as though she were already a vampire and just out hunting when the Volturi showed up."

I stared at them, completely confused. "Why did you think they would come straight here without Demetri looking for her?"

Carlisle patiently clued me in. "Bella is an extraordinary human. There are very few vampire powers that will work on her. We thought that Demetri's gift would be useless; obviously we were wrong in that assumption."

I sighed and closed my eyes, letting my head fall back against the couch. I ignored the news report that had just come on about the spontaneous gas fire. I didn't need to listen, chances were I knew more than they did anyway.

Fire coming from nowhere, a vampire helping a human and deliberately going against the Volturi in doing so…I directed my attention towards Alice. "The Vampire in your vision, shaggy blonde hair, wearing all black, animal-blood drinker and female, right?"

She looked at me, surprised. "How did you know?"

I sighed and put my elbows on my knees as I rubbed my temples with my fingers. This could quite possibly be the worst situation Celeste had ever gotten herself into. "An unlucky guess." I answered absently. I was already seeing Celeste in my thoughts, recalling everything about her as I reached out to try and connect with her mind.

Edward broke my concentration. "You know her?"

I looked up at him, a little peeved at the distraction.

"The girl you're thinking of, she's the same one I saw in Alice's vision. Who is she?"

Saw…? Oh. Another power, was this a gifted coven or what? "Mind reader?"

He nodded and I sighed. "It's Celeste."

"Would she have helped out a random human?" Jasper asked, more than a little worried. "I always knew Celeste was a bit of a thrill seeker at times, but this…" he didn't need to finish his thought.

Emmet was suddenly interested. "Could she have killed one of the Volturi?"

I chuckled darkly. "She probably just wanted a distraction, that, or they did something to her bike. That would be more than enough for her to blow up a gas station."

"How would she light an entire gas station on fire with no one noticing?" Emmet pressed on, more interested in the pyrotechnics than he should be.

I grinned. "Celeste has a rather unusual power…one that makes her more dangerous than most."

Edward and Carlisle each raised an eyebrow as I paused. Even Rosalie looked slightly interested.

"She can create fire spontaneously. She can only control it when she's angry, but she can never be burned by it."

Jasper chuckled. "Only Celeste would have a power like that. You must be the most whipped vampire to ever walk the earth."

I laughed. "Pretty much. I definitely don't want to make her angry, I might end up as ashes."

"Is there anyway you can get in touch with her?"

I turned my head to look back at Edward, "Of course, what do you want to tell her?"

"Tell her to bring Bella here, if she can. If she can't, I'll meet her somewhere."

"Okay." I turned away from him and leaned back into the couch. I closed my eyes and let thoughts of Celeste fill my head. I called out to her with my mind, establishing a connection with her thoughts.

She replied immediately, in an irritated tone. "What?"

"Don't what me. I just saw the news." My tone reflected hers.

"So?"

"So I know all about your little fireworks display."

I heard her give a mental sigh, frustrated with being caught. "Fine, I blew up a gas station. Anything else?"

"Bring Bella here."

"How did you know-"?

"Your brother happened to be in Port Angles and saw me. Before I knew it, I was being shoved into a car and taken to meet a coven of seven vampires. One of which seems to be missing a girlfriend."

"Wow, small world. So, Alice saw our little escape in a vision?"

"How did you know-"?

She cut me off. "Bella started freaking out a little bit when I stopped to rest. It wasn't hard to piece certain things together, even if she is the weirdest human I've ever seen."

"Oh. So can you bring her here?"

"That depends. Where's 'here'?"

I sent her a picture of the house from my memories. She was silent for a moment.

"I'll be there in fifteen to twenty minutes." She said finally, "But the goons may be right behind me."

"Gotcha, See you in a few."

"Wait, I have to ask. How did your reunion with your 'loving' brother-in-law go?"

I recognized the amusement in her voice as she tried to picture how our meeting would have gone. I growled at her and broke the connection. I could have died at the hands of her brother and she found it funny?

I sighed and opened my eyes. Edward, along with the rest of his family, was starring at me quizzically. "Telepath?" He asked.

I nodded.

Everyone else looked slightly less confused.

"She'll show up in fifteen to twenty minutes, with or without the Volturi." I calmly recounted the result of my conversation for the benefit of those who hadn't been listening in. Privacy in this house must be non-existent.

Esme looked at me, clearly impressed. "You're telepathic? That must come in handy."

I nodded in agreement. "It does. But it gives me a massive headache, so I only use it when I absolutely have to." Like when Celeste runs off to get her adrenaline fix, I added in my head.

Edward snorted in amusement.

AN: Yes, i know Edward would probably be a whole lot more annal about all this but it's my story and if he were being as annal as he normally is, i wouldn't have much of a plot.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked it, please review and tell me what you think, flames are excepted as long as flamers except colorful replies.
