AN: I am sooo sorry for the lateness of this chapter. I have been really busy with school and I need help. I am posting this chapter but I need help first. I am doing an acting report for my class. I have to tape something that is total of 10 minutes long and has to be a scene from New Moon. So can you help me, fellow Twilight fans? Could you review and tell me what you suggest? And I can accomplish it? Preferably a scene without absolutely gorgeous men in it. There is NO WAY I can find a super hot werewolf or vampire! Also, could you give me some lyrics that you think fit New Moon, I only need 10 songs and they don't have to be original, though it wouldn't work to get the same song over and over again. It's for my assignment! I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

I have also decided that I will post a riddle each chapter, at the end, and when I get the right answer, I will post the next chapter. No more review amount needed! Though I do enjoy them!

I am curious as to how many boys read Twilight, so if you're a boy, could you tell me? I want to see how many, I have a bet with my friend, XxeternallyxXxdamnedxX! I would like to thank her, for being my beta and for reading the New Moon lines to me, since I let another friend borrow the book! Thanks Eryn!!!

Sorry again about the wait, and I hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 19: The House Visit

Previously:

They all got in their cars and I followed them to their mystery house.

We got to the turn-off fairly quickly. We drove a couple miles and came to a white house.

I felt the tingly sensation I had come to know as my memories. The house got farther away and everything went black.

I was floating and I saw myself in a whirl. I dove towards myself and when I got close, she turned to face me. It was me as a human. I don't look that different now. Just more curvier and paler and harder. My hair was more luscious and flowing. It was longer and my eyes were gold instead of the human me's brown eyes.

She motioned for me to follow her. I saw a huge painting that was life-size. It was of the huge white house that I had seen briefly. A car pulled up. I was in it with Edward.

The scene flashed to inside the beautiful house. I was standing in a room, surrounded by the…Cullens. How do I know their name?

You are remembering. the other me said.

I looked back at the picture before me.

Alice gleefully gave the human a silver package. Wait, Alice, gleeful? She was never happy. Why is she happy now?

Because this is before my whole life changed. she said again. What does she mean?

I saw it in slow motion. Human me slid her finger under the edge of the package. She pulled her finger away and a single drop oozed from a cut on her finger.

I saw Jasper's eyes turn from curious to hunger. His eyes blackened in color.

I jumped toward the picture, towards Jasper. I didn't want him to hurt me.

But I hit something solid. I looked and saw the moving picture was solid. I couldn't save myself.

Edward jumped on human Iz before Jasper did. He knocked her to the ground, hitting a table and having crystal glass spilled all over them. Human Iz, Hiz for short, threw her arms out to catch herself. Only to have glass cut into Hiz's arm. Now Jasper had tackled Edward, trying to get to Hiz.

Emmet grabbed Jasper and I was being pulled to another memory.

This picture was of me, in a blue shirt that complemented my skin and a kacki skirt, was walking towards the house with Edward holding my hand.

I came with them through the front door, where the obvious parents introduced themselves.

It flashed to someone's room, with me and Edward cuddling and kissing on a black sofa.

Then, it was me being carried down the stairs by Alice, in a gorgeous dress and a cast on my leg. Edward's face was glowing.

Then, everything disappeared except me and the human me. Why is everyone sad now?

You have to ask them. she responded.

What if they don't answer?

You have to open yourself, and be vulnerable. Otherwise, there is no way they will get through your shell.

Then she faded.

And the blackness faded.

I opened my eyes to Nicole, who is used to me collapsing every once in a while, jump onto my lap and grab the steering wheel that I had let go of. I snapped awake and Nicole jumped back to the passenger side and I took the wheel and parked.

Hiz had told me to be vulnerable. But how? I don't know, but I will find out.

I stepped out of the car and sped over to Nicole's side. We watched as they got out of the car. They did it at slower than human speed. Man, they are really depressed.

They walked to the front door and Emmet called, "Carlisle. Esme." in a regular voice, but with no emotion in it at all.

Carlisle and Esme sped down at vampire speed to their 'children'. Then they turned their eyes to us.

Esme's eyes lit up when she saw us and ushered us to the living room. Everyone followed to sit with whoever was their match. Except Edward. He sat alone.

Once everyone was seated, they all turned to us.

Nicole started, as I hoped she would, since I was trying to probe their eyes for emotions.

"Hello…? I am Nicole Heart and this is Iz Young. And you are…Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Emmet, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper…what?"

"Hello Nicole and Iz. We are the Cullen's. My wife is Esme and Jasper and Alice are married. As are Rosalie and Emmet. May I ask how you two came to know each other and a little about each of you?" Carlisle inquired.

Nicole smiled and turned to face me. She had a mischievous glint in her eyes. I easily glared down whatever idea she had. She preceded to pout.

I decided it would be best if I started. "Well, me and Nicole have known each other for 13 years. She is like my little sister." I smiled down at her. She smiled back. "She found me with others after I killed a pack of werewolves. She brought me to her coven and then we were attacked. I couldn't save everybody and only we survived." I sighed as I finished.

"Wait. You killed a whole pack of werewolves? All by yourself? How?" Emmet had gotten happier and he looked like he was a little boy, actually seeing Santa Claus.

I smiled. "I don't know exactly. Well, I know I caught on fire because they killed my creator and then tried to kill me. I killed them and passed out. Then Nicole, Ivory and Kari found me." I smiled again.

"Your power is to catch on FIRE?! Are you serious?! That is awesome! Can you show us?!" Now Emmet was like that kid. With Santa and sugar.

"I only catch fire when I am really mad. And yes, I am serious. But I can't show you, I might burn your house." I looked at Esme, somehow knowing she wouldn't be happy with a fire in her house. She looked at my thankfully.

Then Emmet burst. "We can go outside! Then you can show me! Please?" He did the puppy-dog face. Except it wasn't very cute, it was like a bull dog with the puppy dog face. I laughed.

"I can't. I am sorry Emmet, but I am not mad. And there is nothing to make me mad. I am sorry." I smiled sheepishly. There really wasn't anything I was mad about.

"Well, Iz. If you can't show them that, maybe you can show or tell them a different power." Nicole piped in.

"You have more than one power?!" This time it was Alice who got excited. All the others ear's perked up though.

"Hehe…um. Well, my power's are…I hate human blood. And no power's affect me. But you might know that already if you have power's. Um, then there is the power of my emotions are overly sensitive. Like, if I get mad, I catch on fire. And if get too overwhelmed, or depressed, I can faint." I didn't feel it was time yet for me to tell them the other powers.

"But Iz, what about-" Nicole started. I quickly covered up her mouth and looked at her, telling her silently not to talk.

"What about your power, Nicole?" Esme asked.

I let go of Nicole's mouth so she could tell them. She got that glint back in her eye.

"Well, I haven't even used this power on Iz, so she doesn't even know how it works. I can make it so I hurt you. On the inside, not physically." She smiled proudly again.

"…"

When no one spoke, I could almost see the gears grinding in her head.

"Does anyone want to volunteer?" she asked. I gaped. She wouldn't.

When she looked around, everyone was looking at her except Edward.

"Edward, would you mind?" she asked politely. I guess she is. It is not like she can kill anyone. Right?

Edward looked up. His eyes narrowed but he nodded slightly.

Nicole smiled and got up. "I think we should do this outside. What about you?" she aimed the question at Edward.

He shrugged.

They walked outside, followed by everyone.

"Ready?" Nicole asked Edward.

"Sure." he replied.

Then Edward crumpled in pain. He writhed on the ground but he didn't make a sound. No grunt of pain or a yell or scream or anything. I have never felt it, so I didn't know what it was like.

I looked to Nicole and she looked like she was solving a puzzle.

What was happening here?

---------------------------------

Nicole Pov

I had asked Edward if he was ready and he said sure. So I dug in his mind, and found it. It had a lock on it and it was a big safe that it was in.

Let me explain what I found. Edward's most painful memory. Normally, it is easy to find. It is normally the change, for vampires. For Victoria, it was when she found out James was killed. Looks like Edward has a more painful memory than the change too.

Must be about love. See, my power takes the most painful memory anyone has experienced. Then I replay it to a max, but I take over. I could make Edward die inside if I used full potential.

I found the key to the room. Edward appeared with me. I get to watch his painful memory, and so does he. So I see the memory that changed his life and he has to relive it.

I opened the door.

Inside, there was a picture of someone who looked like normal Iz in human form, talking to Edward. But Edward looked dead. This must be when she was human. How did they know each other? And she doesn't even remember her human life. He led her into the forest, not far though.

"Bella, we need to talk." he said.

Bella? This is Iz. I focused back on the picture and watched as Iz winced.

Then she spoke saying, "Okay, let's talk."

"Bella, we are leaving."

I saw Iz contemplate that. Then she spoke, "Why now, I mean another year and-"

"Bella, it's time. How much longer could we stay in Forks after all? Carlisle can barely pass for 30 and he's claiming 33 now. We have to start over soon regardless." Edward said. The deadness in his voice shocked even me.

"When you say we-" Iz looked like she was about to throw up.

"I mean my family and myself." Edward's voice was hard.

Iz thought about what he said then said, "Okay. I'll come with you."

His eyes hardened and his eyes narrowed slightly. "You can't Bella. Where we're going is not the right place for you."

"Where you are is the right place for me." Iz was pleading with her eyes.

"I'm no good for you Bella." So he took the 'It's not you, it's me' line. Pathetic. The Edward that was watching with me whipped his head around and growled. Then he turned back to the picture, looking like he had too. Which was part of the torture.

"Don't be ridiculous. You're the very best part of my life." Now she was getting desperate.

"My world is not for you." Bull-shit. That is what I would think. Too bad, if it's not for her, then how did she survive 13 years in it?

"What happened with Jasper, that was nothing, Edward, nothing!" She was getting hysteric now.

"Your right. It was exactly to be expected." Why is he all 'self-pity'? He is the one breaking her heart. Obviously. Why is this his most painful memory. It should be hers.

I decided I would watch it all play out. "You promised. In Phoenix you promised you would stay-" she was cut off.

"As long as it was what was best for you."

"No, this is about my soul, isn't it? Carlisle told me about that and I don't care, Edward, I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you, it's yours already!" She was hysteric now.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." I looked at Edward and saw that he visibly winced. I did too. This was painful to watch. It was like watching your big sister get her heart crushed and their was nothing you could do. Except I could do one thing. I intensified the pain. She may not remember it, but this was the guy who killed her.

Iz sifted thorough the words and came up with, "You…don't…want me?" When she said those heart-breaking words, I made him look her in the face. He had to watch as her life crumbled away.

Then the Edward in the picture said, "No." and her eyes died. They held no life. Edward had to watch, up close and personal, as he killed the Iz inside her. Then she spoke, like a robot:

"Well, that changes things."

Edward fell to the ground, dry-sobbing. I was pulled away from this painful memory, and back to real life.

My eyes came into focus and I saw Edward, on the ground, sobbing.

--------------------

Iz Pov

I saw that Nicole had gotten a blank stare on her face. Her emotions played on her face though. She went through confusion, shock, pity, mocking, pain, anger and it rested on happiness. We decided it wouldn't be good to wake her up, since we didn't know what was happening.

When she came to, she was smirking at Edward's sobbing form on the ground. Her eyes held pity though.

The Cullen's tried to help Edward up but when he wouldn't get up, the Cullen's eyes turned to Nicole in anger and fright.

"What did you do? He hasn't spoken since you guys got here. And he hasn't showed emotion since Be-" Carlisle stopped abruptly. Who was Be-?

"What happened to you guys?" I asked.

"We will explain once Nicole tells us what happened." they all turned to Nicole.

"Okay, okay. All I did was take his most painful memory and make him watch it. It normally is the change for most vampires. Which isn't that emotional, so all that person felt when that happened, it is intensified and they have to watch and feel the worst point in their life again. I was surprised by what his memory was though. I got to watch to, so I can see part of their life. It is normally the one that has changed their life forever." Nicole said.

The Cullen's looked at each other and then Emmet was the one to say, "What did you see?"

Nicole turned to me. "I saw Iz." she said simply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made it extra long because of the wait. I am sooo sorry! I hate when stories take forever, but I thought you guys would enjoy longer chapters instead of short ones.

The riddle is:

I fly in the air, but I am not always there. I cannot be touched, but I can be felt or held. Think very hard, but if you live near the equator, you may have a hard time seeing me. What am I?

When I get a right answer, then I will post again. Don't forget to read the beginning author's note, it has some important information that will explain any delay. I know I hate these long author's notes myself, but I thank you for staying with me!

And Eryn, if you guess it, it doesn't count!
