Ok, Ok, I owe you all a big apology. I'm really sorry i took so long to update, but i've been really sick and i knew that if i wrote in that state, i'd end up killing half the characters. So i'm sorry. Forgive me please, i'm begging.

This chapter is dedicated to... TheCullensareAwesome, FRK921, and Twilighterr. Sorry i confused you all about her power. It will be better explained in this chapter.

Disclaimer - I think i owned twilight last night, but then i woke up.

Previously - "Well Bella," began Carlisle, delight on his face, "I think I am correct in assuming we have just found your power."

Power? All I did was cry, what on earth could my power… Wait a minute, is he trying to tell me that my power is to cry? Man, that's lame. Why couldn't I have been psychic or a mind reader or something cool like that? I feel like a freak, being able to cry.

"Yes, your power," continued Carlisle when I didn't respond. "I will have to run some tests of course, to be sure, but I think your power is the opposite of Jasper's. Tell me, when you were human did you speak your mind a lot?"

"It would depend on who I was talking to. In Phoenix, I would only ever speak freely to my most intimate friends, and would guard my words with everyone else. Why do you need to know?"

"Interesting. The reason I ask is because I believe, and this is only a theory, that your power is triggered if you feel an emotion very strongly. Correct me if I am wrong, but when you started to cry, you were feeling particularly guilty, no? I think that that is the reason you cried. Would you object if I ran a few tests on you?"

Tests? What sort of tests? Sure, I wanted to find out the reason for my freakishness, but not if it meant I was some sort of vampire guinea pig. But still, knowing why I could cry would be very helpful.

"Sure," I relied cautiously. "But what type of tests are we talking about here?"

"Oh, don't worry Bella. These tests will not harm you. I just want to see what will happen if you are overwhelmed with an emotion other than guilt. Imagine the possibilities. Jasper will help us, of course. He will fire emotions at you, and we'll see what happens."

With these words, Carlisle turned on his heel and ran out of the room, with Jasper following closely. Sensing that they weren't going to wait, I ran after them.

When we stopped running, we were in the middle of a large clearing. The trees surrounding it were badly dented and it looked like most of them had been hacked away by a chainsaw.

Jasper noticed I was staring at the trees, and he said, "This clearing is not often used by us. It's where Emmett likes to come and practice his wrestling moves, and since none of us will wrestle him, he takes it out on the trees. He gets so chuffed when he wins."

Ha, Emmett being happy because he, a hard as stone vampire, won a fight against an inanimate tree.

"Ok Jasper," said Carlisle, "let's start off with something easy. To make sure my earlier theory was correct, let's start with guilt."

Jasper turned to face me, and within the space of a second, my eyes were watering.

What had happened to all these trees? All these beautiful parts of nature that had been badly mutilated just because I wasn't here to save them. What sort of monster was I?

"That's enough, Jasper," called Carlisle from the opposite end of the clearing.

Then the guilt eased up, and I became aware of tears on my cheeks. Had I been crying again? This time I didn't even realise it.

"Amazing. My theory was correct. I wonder, Jasper, let's try a different emotion. Go for something simple, something like… Happiness."

A wonderful feeling surrounded me, and nothing could ever bring me down. I finally knew that these people surrounding me were my real family, the place where I belonged.

"That will do Jasper. Calm her down now."

My happiness spurt was over, and I looked around to see what effect it had had. Jasper and Carlisle were lowering their hands from their eyes.

"Wow, Bella." Jasper said in astonishment, "I never knew you had it in you."

"Had what in me?" I asked eagerly. "What happened? What did I do?"

"You almost blinded us Bella. You were glowing. It must have been a really strong emotion for you."

Glowing? Wow.

"Let's try another emotion. Jasper, start the anger rolling."

Jasper turned to face me, and was just about to start transmitting the anger, when Carlisle changed his mind.

"Actually, stop. That emotion might be a bit overpowering, and I think she's been through enough today, with the stress of finding her power."

We collected Carlisle's notebooks in which he was recording the results of the experiment, and were just about to head home, when we detected a strange scent. It was very muddy, and murky. Jasper and Carlisle whipped their heads to the left, and lowered themselves into a crouch.

"What's going on?" I asked warily. My reply was only one word, and it came from Carlisle.

"Werewolves."
