I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse.

"Bella, what's happening?" Charlie yelled.
"I…don't…know." Something terrible was happening to me and I nor anyone else could stop it.
Bella's Point of View
I lay in Edward's arms jerking around trying to figure out what was going on.
Edward had called Carlisle to see what we should do, but Carlisle didn't know. He said he was only a short distance away though, for Alice had had a vision.
Charlie had gone downstairs. He couldn't handle seeing me like this when he didn't know what was happening.
I had my eyes closed as I jerked around. I was trying really hard to figure out how to stop this 'seizure,' but nothing came to mind.
"Bella? Are you awake?" Edward asked anxiously.
He had asked this at least fifty times every minute since I closed my eyes. Even though I couldn't sleep, it still scared him that I didn't have my eyes open. I couldn't keep them opened though. Then I would have to see Edward's pained and confused face. Besides, it was easier to concentrate with them closed.
"Yes…Edward," I struggled to say in between jerks. "Please…stop…asking."
He let out a cry. "What is happening to you?!"
A pain shot through my body then. Before, it had just been the jerks, but now pain coursed through my entire being threatening to pull me into unconsciousness, which was apparently still possible for me to achieve.
I let out a yelp as more pain shot through my body.
"BELLA!" Edward yelled. I felt him pick me up in his arms and lay me on the ground. His hands flew across my body trying to get me to stop shaking.
Wait. I felt. I felt without thinking. I…felt.
I let out a high pitched scream as more pains went through me.
Charlie banged open the door and walked in. Behind him was Doctor Glen, the best doctor at Forks Hospital.
"I called Doctor Glen here. Maybe he can help!" Charlie said frantically.
I screamed again.
Doctor Glen came over quickly and bent down next to me. "What happened?" he asked Edward.
"I don't know! She just started…shaking!" Edward replied.
Doctor Glen placed a stethoscope to my shaking body and listened carefully. His mouth dropped open after a few seconds. "She has no heartbeat!"
Charlie gasped. "WHAT?" he screamed.
"She's…dead!" Doctor Glen exclaimed.
"But she is shaking!" Charlie cried. "How can she be dead if she is shaking?"
"I'm…not…dead…!" I struggled to say. I screamed again.
"But…but…she has no heartbeat!" Doctor Glen said.
"Maybe you just can't hear it because she is shaking so much," Edward said quickly.
Doctor Glen's eyes pulled together. "Maybe. Now, I think you are having a seizure Isabella. We will need to give you some medicine to stop it."
Oh no. How was I supposed to explain that I couldn't take medicine? I wish Carlisle were here!
Speak of the doctor and he shall appear. In ran Carlisle at full speed, not even pausing to knock.
"I will take over from her Doctor Glen," he said quickly as he knelt beside me.
Doctor Glen looked up in shock but nodded. "Okay."
He walked out the door leaving only Edward, Charlie, Carlisle, and me.
"How are you feeling Bella?" he asked quickly.
I kept my eyes closed and didn't answer. Not because I couldn't but because I was thinking.
Right before this happened, I had told Edward I was happy. I told him that I accepted my disability and that we could move on now.
Maybe that is what Alice meant when she said there was more to my power. I just had to accept my life as it was before I could really heal myself, before I could feel without thinking.
"Bella?!" Edward asked frantically.
The only problem was that I couldn't seem to stop these tremors and this pain. I didn't even know how I had started it.
"Carlisle, why isn't she answering?" Edward asked worriedly. "Why isn't she answering?"
"I don't know Edward." Carlisle sounded just as scared as Edward which made me scared. Yes, I knew why this was happening, but I couldn't stop it.
I opened my eyes and looked at Edward as best as I could through my shaking. "Calm…down…Edward," I whispered. "Everything…will…be…fine." I didn't know how, but I knew everything would work out.
I tried to smile at him but failed miserably as another sharp pain shot through my body.
I closed my eyes tightly and concentrated. I concentrated on being happy and accepting my life as it was. I concentrated on healing myself. I concentrated all of my power on healing myself.
Slowly, the pain subsided and the tremors started to slow.
This was how it had to happen. I realized that now. No matter what, I had to be happy with everything.
Only an occasional tremor passed through my body now.
This was my power. I could heal myself. I could possibly heal others.
To stop the tremors completely, I moved my hand slowly away from Edward to my stomach keeping my eyes closed the whole time. The room had gone completely silent.
I pushed my hand down and concentrated even harder on my power. I wanted to feel for good. I wanted to be healed.
I could see through my closed eyes a brilliant light filling the room. I heard many gasps including my own.
Slowly, I saw the light dim and eventually go out. The tremors had stopped completely and I was left lying in Edward's arms, completely still.
"Bella?" he asked hesitantly.
I kept my eyes closed. I was scared that if I opened them, all of this would be a dream. I was scared that if I opened my eyes now, I wouldn't be able to feel Edward's hand running along my arm.
"Why isn't she breathing?" Charlie asked frantically. "Her chest isn't moving! She is dead! Oh my gosh, my daughter is dead!"
I realized that I was holding my unnecessary breath. I gasped and started breathing heavily for Charlie's benefit.
I felt him run over and run his rough hands through my hair. "Bella?" he asked.
"Dad?" I whispered.
"Yes baby. I'm here," he said relief coloring his voice.
"How are you feeling Bella?" Carlisle asked softly.
I kept my eyes closed as I answered. "I feel…everything."
"What?" Edward asked confused.
"I can feel you running your hand on my arm Edward. I can feel Charlie running his hands in my hair. I can feel Carlisle running his hands across my other arm."
Charlie gasped. "You can feel?"
I smiled slightly. "I can feel."
Edward kissed me lightly on the lips. "Open your eyes Bella," he said still worried.
Slowly, I opened them and looked into Edward's deep eyes. I lifted my arm away from Carlisle's grasp to stroke Edward's cheek softly.
I sighed. "You don't know how long I have wanted to do that."
He smiled and kissed me passionately.
It has been a month since I healed myself.
Everyone was ecstatic. Charlie, Renee, and Phil were the only ones who didn't know how it really happened. They just thought it was a miracle…which it was.
When Carlisle, Edward, and I got back to Alaska, everyone wanted to know exactly how I had healed myself. So I told them.
I just had to be happy with my life. I had to accept what had happened, and I had to move on.
I knew that there was still more to my power than just healing myself. I had told Edward this one night, and he had agreed with me.
So we planned on testing it out. Alice looked into the future and saw that a teenage girl was going to get into a car crash on her way home. She would be badly hurt, on the brink of death. I was going to try to heal her.
Edward and I were the only ones going. I didn't want everyone to be there if I failed.
We ran to the crash sight and sat down to wait. It would only be another five minutes now.
"Do you think I can do this Edward?" I asked as I cuddled into him.
"Of course you can." He stroked my arm softly. I smiled. I was so happy that I could feel him again.
I lifted my lips to his face and kissed him.
Just then, a pair of headlights came flying around the corner. I looked on in horror as the teenager tried desperately to straighten her wheel, but it was no use. She was going too fast around a sharp turn. She was going to crash.
"What if I can't help her?" I asked Edward frantically. "What if it doesn't work?"
He looked at the car as it came to a stop upside down. "It will work Bella. You just need to trust in yourself. Be happy. Be accepting of the situation. It will work."
We stood up and walked solemnly to the car. I knelt down and ripped the door off its hinges. The girl was unconscious, and blood was everywhere. It didn't bother me though. It never had.
"Call an ambulance Edward," I said. "We will leave immediately after she is healed."
Edward nodded and called 911.
I unbuckled the girl's seatbelt and carefully lifted her out of her car. I placed her on the road and put my hands over her heart.
She was barely breathing. I needed to hurry.
Edward hung up his phone and put a supporting hand on my shoulder. "You can do it," he whispered.
I nodded and closed my eyes, feeling the power coursing through my body already.
A bright light formed around us, and I knew right when the girl was healed. She gasped and started breathing heavily, but at least she was breathing.
I slowly took my hands away from her body and turned to Edward. He smiled at me and kissed me lightly.
I turned back to the girl to find her staring up at us. "What happened?" she whispered.
"You were in a car accident, but everything is going to be okay," I quietly answered.
Just then, an ambulance came flying around the corner.
I smiled down at the girl. "What is your name?" I asked.
"Kaira," she whispered.
"Be safe Kaira," I said. "And don't tell anyone about us. Live happily, and be careful."
With that, Edward and I jumped up and ran home, both of us smiling madly.
It was in that instant that I knew everything would be fine again. I was no longer paralyzed. I could feel every touch Edward gave me. I could finally caress his face. I understood the full potential of my power, and I would use it for good…always for good.
Edward scooped me into his arms as we walked through the door to Carlisle and Esme's house. He leaned down and kissed me passionately as our family bombarded us, asking for information on how everything went.
He pulled away, and I smiled at him. He put me down and I turned to my family.
"It worked. I healed her. She will keep everything a secret."
I then turned to Edward. "Thank you Edward. Thank you for sticking with me through all of this. You are truly amazing."
He smiled and nuzzled his nose into my neck. "Thank you Bella. Thank you for keeping me with you. You are truly amazing."
"I love you Edward Cullen. I will always love you. Forever," I whispered.
"And I love you Isabella Cullen. Forever."
With that, he scooped me into his arms and ran me upstairs smiling as he set me down and shut the door.
