A/N: Yeah… sorry for not updating very much. I'm a horrid person I know. It's just with school and stuff I don't have enough time to do much of anything. On a good note though I just got a puppy last night. We named her Zoey… no kidding! She's adorable!

Chapter 7

I fell back onto my bed waiting for my tears to come. Surprisingly they never did. To some extent this was probably for the best. Jake and I didn't belong together. Maybe in some bizarre universe where I wasn't a vampire maybe, well more like probably. I'll admit we had a good thing going. I still loved Jake, and a part of me always would. When you've known someone all your life, and you've loved him or her for that amount of time… it's hard to let go.

I turned to look at the picture of Jake and I on my table next to me. His short spiky hair lit up his eyes and his arm was wrapped around my waist. We were on the La Push beach, one of my favorite places in the world. Jake and I use to go up with the pack and have bonfires and such. We had planned on getting married. Well, not officially… but we had talked about it. Yes, if things were still the same…

I wanted to touch it, but it was out of my reach and I was too tired to grab it. The next thing I knew the frame was in my hand. I dropped it and slid back farther on the bed. What had just happened? I was only thinking about it and then it was suddenly in my hands. Part of this freaked me out… and part of it interested me. Was I just imagining things?

I looked at my sociology book on my table across the room and imagined it in my hands. The next thing I knew it was in my hands. Was this teleportation? I thought for a second. I imagined myself at home in my room. I closed my eyes and the wind whirled around me. The next thing I knew… I opened my eyes and I was sitting on my bed in Forks. Yeah, definitely teleportation.

I heard footsteps on the stairs, no doubt Charlie's. I thought back to my dorm room and closed my eyes. Once again the air swirled around me and I was sitting cross-legged back on my dorm bed. I noticed I was shaking.

I fell back on my bed and closed my eyes. What I would love more than anything is to be on La Push beach. I wanted everything to go back to how it was. Sadly, my new affinity didn't turn back time. I knew I could probably bring Jake here if I wanted to, and I also knew I could go to him if I wanted to. Part of me wanted to do just that, then the other part of me was saying and thinking Edward.

There was a soft tapping on my window and I lifted my head to see the face that lingered in my mind. I smiled and walked over to the window and flipped the switch unlocking it. I opened the window and backed up. Edward stepped in throwing his duffle bag on my bed.

"Bella, I missed you." He whispered in my ear.

I smiled. "You do know this is against the rules right?"

He chuckled and pulled me to his chest claiming my lips. "Yeah."

My tooth slipped nicking his lip. I felt his blood surge in my mouth. It should have grossed me out beyond belief. I had never been able to look at blood when I was human… now I was craving it. It was the most wonderful taste in the world. It was sweet yet sultry. I cupped his face and flicked my tongue over the nick.

He groaned. "More Bella."

I was more than happy to oblige and I sucked greedily on his lips. There were three staccato taps on my window. I pulled away from Edward to find Jake's face trembling with anger. He slid the window open and jumped in my room.

"What do you think you're doing leech?" He jumped at Edward but Edward was too quick.

He jumped at Edward again and his hand morphed out into a huge paw. It was amazing… he had never been able to do that before. I was too stunned by his new power that I didn't realize his paw had collided with Edward's face sending pieces of skin onto the floor. In utter shock I quickly thought of Edward behind me. I closed my eyes and then I was looking Jake face to face with Edward behind me.

"What the heck just happened?" Edward stood behind me and Jake stopped mid lunge falling on the floor.

"Nothing. Now Jake, leave." I pointed toward the door backing up to somehow protect Edward. Jake would never dream of hurting me.

"Bella just let me explain." Jake whimpered.

"No, leave." I pointed back toward the window but Jake walked toward me.

I closed my eyes and imagined Jake at home on his bed. The wind whirled around me and then he was gone. I opened my eyes and turned back around to examine Edward's bloody face. I ran to his side placing my hands over the lacerations on his perfect face.

"I'm so sorry Edward." I kissed his lips and wrapped my arms around him.

He placed his hands on my shoulders and held me back. "It's fine. The cuts will be gone by the morning. No need to worry love."

I guided him to the bed and made him lay down. "I'll be right back."

I ran to my dresser and pulled out a tank top and some shorts. Quickly dressing in the bathroom I came back out to find Edward staring at my ceiling. I walked over toward him trying to figure out what he was thinking.

"Are you okay?" I ran my fingers over the now dried cuts.

"Yes, I'm fine." He grabbed my hand kissing it lightly. He studied my face. "What was that back there?"

I shrugged. "I think I found my affinity?"

He sat up and pulled me into his lap. "That's great! What is it?"

I grinned and held on to him. I imagined Edward and myself in the chorus room sitting on the piano stool. I closed my eyes and heard the quiet gasp that came from Edward. I looked up and saw that we were on the piano stool just as I had imagined.

"Amazing." He whispered.

I heard heels clicking down the hall toward us and the doorknob rattled. "Yes, the barrier was breeched." I instantly recognized Neferet's voice.

I heard the deep voice of a male and I wasn't sure exactly who it was. "Do you know who it was?"

The rattling stopped. "Werewolf."

I quickly shut my eyes imagining us back in my door room and then we were gone. "Breathe Bella." Edward whispered in my ear.

I quickly did as I was told. "Sorry, I didn't realize I was holding my breath."

He chuckled. "My little teleporter."

Part of me liked how he claimed me as his. I was his and he was mine. I leaned back on his chest and yawned. "I'm tired."

He picked me up and slid me under the covers and stood up stripping down to his boxers. I tried to hide the fact that my eyes widened at his muscles… but hey I'm still a girl. He chuckled and turned off the lights sliding in bed next to me. He kissed the back of my head and pulled me close to his chest.

"Go to sleep my angel."

ZPOV

I woke up with Erick's hands around my stomach and his nose nestled in my hair. I turned around and showered his face with kisses.

"Wake up baby." I whispered in his ear urging him to stir.

The corners of his mouth turned up to a smile. "I love when you wake me up." He whispered his eyes still closed.

The next thing I knew my door was wide open and Neferet was standing beside my bed running her eyes over Erick me in the bed.

"Mr. Night! What do you think you're doing? And Zoey! You both know this is strictly against the rules." She had that evil glint in her voice.

I rolled my eyes and stepped out of bed. "Oh get over it old woman! Your days are numbered as high priestess." I glared at her and walked toward my dresser.

Bella walked into the room and took in the scene before her. "Oh, um… I'll come back later?"

Neferet shook her head. "No, I'm leaving." She turned toward me. "I trust you will work on your judgment." She stormed out of the room and just growled when Edward trailed in not long after Bella.

"Edward." I nodded toward him.

He grinned. "Hey Zoey."

I turned toward Bella. "So, you had something to tell me?"

She nodded and I willed the wind to shut the door. "Okay, so what's up?"

She grinned. "Is there somewhere you want to be right now?"

I shrugged. "Yeah, my grandma's house… but that's not exactly an option right now."

She grabbed my hand. "Want to bet? I think Erick should meet her."

She gabbed Erick's hand and mine while looking at the picture on my dresser. She closed her eyes and the next thing I knew the sweet scent of lavender swirled around me. We were in front of my grandma's house.

Grandma flung the door open and ran toward me. "Zoeybird!" She embraced me and tears poured from my eyes.

"I'll be back." Bella whispered and I watched as she disappeared into thin air.

I had no idea what was going on, but we could definitely use this to our advantage.

A/N: So, once again sorry for the late update. The only reason I'm updating now is because school got canceled today for unexpected reasons.

Review!
