A/N: you guys are AMAZING. Thanks for all the reviews, especially -BeeVee-THEEAmazing, that was the best review I've ever gotten, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Just to give you guys some heads-up information: God + Jesus + the holy spirit is the holy trinity. It ties itself with Bella's powers. And three of the symbols for Gabriel are: the lily, the trumpet and the shield. Just for future reference.
"Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising up again I bless Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all "
You are my All in All – Girls of Grace
Last Chapter Recap (Bella's POV)
The family looked shocked and they all sat down as they gathered around me to hear my story. I saw Carlisle's shocked face, then the understanding flooded in and I could see the hope in all of their eyes as I told them that they would all be admitted into heaven, but the feelings changed as they heard about Victoria and the werewolves, and they all growled menacingly as someone knocked at the door. Edward stopped tracing the tattoo of the woman with wings of an angel, eyes purple, skin milky blue with her hair whipping around her and the sword of repentance in her hand with flames coming out if it; I could not see why he was not disgusted by it, but my attention snapped in the direction of the door as I smelt a scent that did not belong to the family that belonged here. I felt a snarl rip from my chest but no one else seemed to notice as we all crowded around the door and I opened it with my power – seeing someone none of us were expecting to see.
Edward's POV
I lightly traced the pattern engraved into Bella's back, I knew I should have been shocked, or scared but all I could feel was a slight peace and contempt knowing I was right that Bella was, in fact, my angel.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and we all snapped our heads around in unison. We all let growls rip from our chests, including Bella, for we all knew that our guests were unwelcome.
Bella, almost unwillingly, opened the door with her telekinetic powers. There, in the doorway, were six very large figures with very tanned skin and black hair. The La Push gang, more accurately, werewolves. Jacob Black, the one I hated most, yet I still owed him for saving my Bella, stepped forward and we could all visibly see him shaking with rage, his skin rippling, signaling that he could burst into a big ball of fur at any moment. Not like he had a chance against an angel, my angel, and 7 vampires.
"Cullens and Bella," he greeted coolly. To my utter surprise Bella was the most furious to see him, then I remembered what God had told her 'The werewolves are planning on taking out every single vampire on this planet, and without you they will prevail'. "We have come here to tell you that you have broken the treaty by biting a human, and therefore that means you will either get the hell off of this land or we will fight until every single one of you is dead."
I went to speak but I was cut off by Bella, her voice filled with raw rage. "Jacob, if you or your pack tries to lay one filthy paw on any of my vampires I will rip you to pieces and you will be sent to the bowels of hell, God has no room in his kingdom for mutts who kill the innocent."
"It's not like you would know anything about God, bloodsucker." He retorted, shaking harder than ever now.
Suddenly I saw Bella grow more angry, and I saw two tattoos appear on her wrists, one was a lily, the other a trumpet. Then she spoke, "If I were you I would watch your tongue Jacob Black, I am no 'bloodsucker' I am God's angel, I am the protector sent here to keep the balance and protect my family, I am Gabriel and I am here to do God's will on Earth."
Her skin glowed blue, her hair whipped across her face, her eyes turned a lighter shade of lavender and glorious feathery wings erupted from her back. The wolves backed away in horror, but they stood their ground.
"You will be just as easy to destroy as those bloodsuckers." Paul spat at her.
"There's your one-way ticket to hell Paul, I promise to make it quick, but I cannot promise painless." Bella sneered, I had never seen Bella like this, but I mist admit I admired the way she could talk to these creatures.
Suddenly they all burst into wolves and lunged at her at the same time. Only one was hesitant, but Jacob burst into a wolf seconds later and they all ganged up on her.
"You are dead determined to die, aren't you?" she asked, mocking the pack. They flung themselves at her and she stopped them all at the same time with her telekinetic ability. The trumpet on her wrist glowed yellow as she held the mutts in their place.
Their eyes widened with horror as they found themselves unable to move. As Bella's attention lessened Paul, Sam and Quil decided they would gang up on her since she had no idea that they had been freed. Paul jumped and seemingly ripped a piece out of my dear Bella's abdomen, but it healed much faster than a vampire or a werewolf's wounds ever would. She screamed in anger and lightning clapped around her head. The lily on her other wrist flashed red as the lightning struck the ground close to Paul's foot. "That was a warning, I will not miss again, now get off of this land or I will be forced to kill you all." She snarled.
They were hesitant at first but Bella became impatient and rose her hands above her head, thick roots came out of the ground and slapped the wolves on their back, making them yelp in pain until they were all gone, except for one. The vines returned with Jacob Black's human form struggling in their grasp back to Bella's side. Her eyes softened and resumed their darker shade, she withdrew her wings and her skin mellowed. Gently she lowered herself to the ground (her telekinesis is so cool).
She smiled a small, uncertain smile and said, "Jacob, I did not want it to end this way but I have no choice, if I see you or your pack anywhere near the Cullen family or any of their guests again I will have to kill the wolf or wolves on the spot, I will let you all live for tonight, but you must do something for me in return. When you go back to that meeting with the other werewolves," My family and I looked at each other in confusion but she continued, "Tell them that if they dare to hurt a vampire that has golden eyes or is feeding off of an animal instead of a human that Gabriel will know, and they will be punished by a God-sent arch angel."
He looked at her, at a loss for words and she laughed bitterly, "Yes, Jacob I know that you and your pack have been going to meetings with all of the werewolf packs in the world, asking for advice on killing a coven of seven vampires in attempt to save a small town and one girl in particular."
Before he could even answer she had let the vines release him and both of her tattoos slowly dissipated back into her skin as if they were never there. The marking on her back too faded until all that was left was the wings of an angel right where they would burst out of her skin. When I looked up I saw the retreating back of Jacob Black before he burst into a werewolf and retreated into the darkness.
Damn! I'm glad we're the ones she wants to protect. Ha! Emmett is scared of my fiancé.
I hope she likes shopping more now… I don't think I can force her anymore. Dear old Alice, she no longer has a human to take shopping with her.
Good thing I'm not on her bad side anymore. I am jealous of that beauty of her's though. Well, I can't say I didn't expect something like that from Rosalie, but I'm glad the two girls are getting along.
6 children… all happy and together… That was Esme of course, with a blissful smile on her face.
I must research this, this is so fascinating. Carlisle and his research…
That was quite a show… good thing she likes our family. And that was Jasper, not very original; I must say I'm disappointed.
Bella turned around and her hair caught slightly in the wind as she smiled a dazzling smile in my direction, with all the love and compassion I had ever seen from her, and I embraced my (literal) angel in my cold, stone arms and looked at her with loving eyes.
We all walked back into the house at human pace and Carlisle and Jasper took it upon themselves to study Bella's wrists carefully. Alice and Rosalie were in whispered discussion about taking Bella shopping with them and finding a way to do it "I'll go with you guys, I need new clothes, but I get to pick something out for you also." Bella suddenly said, a maniacal smile contorting her perfect features. They both looked giddy and started smiling huge smiles. Esme had gone to clean the front porch – God we all knew it needed it with that wet dog reek all over it – and Emmett was begging Rose to join him upstairs; we all knew what he was after… actually that didn't sound too bad.
I grabbed Bella by the wrist and half-ran her up to my room, as soon as we got into my room her lips were locked on mine and my tongue grazed her lip, begging for entrance. I could hear her close the door with her power and then she let me through, soon we were lying out on the bed and she was slowly undoing my shirt buttons without stopping our make-out session. God I could get used to this gift of her's.
A/N: short chapter, I know. And quite OOC for Bella, but it is her job to protect the Cullens after all. (That's all your going to get about the intimate scene, but yes, they 'pulled an Emmett and Rosalie' if you would rather my put it in those terms.)
By the way:
Her new power is that she is an elemental. She can control: lightning, earth, fire, water and wind. (Water + wind makes ice also)
And yes, I know she only has two of her three 'trinity' powers, the last power is the 'shield' to finish the Gabriel representation and it will come into play when an old 'friend' comes to visit. (I'll give you a hint, it's a she and her powers are top-notch)
I'll try to post the next chapter tomorrow or Tuesday, I'm thinking about making a chapter in Jacob's POV at the next werewolves council, and his pack explaining what happened and the reaction of the other packs, but I don't know… anyway, no new chapter until I get 70 reviews. devil's grin
So… I've been told I don't need a beta; I'll take that as a compliment but I have one anyway, I was surprised at the amount of people willing to do the job, I am truly impressed and touched. :) I never thought my story was all that good.
Anyway, when you see how badly this fight scene is written, you'll understand why I wanted one :P
Going to make a one-shot about the cullens going to a halloween party! the horror.
and I'm thinking about making one where Alice sees the stock market crash, and it ends up being her fault that the great depression started in the first place because Carlisle owned so many stocks that he caused the outrage of it all. but I'm not sure about the second one. Tell me what you think in reviews?
