Chapter 8 A New Dawn

BPOV

I moved slowly removing myself from Jacob's arms careful not to wake him. Normally I held him through the night even though I couldn't sleep myself. I would lay there watching his face as he dreamt stealing moments of bliss when he would sigh and move closer to me whispering my name. Tonight was different I couldn't lay still to many things playing in my mind not allowing me the stillness of peace.

I moved to stand next to the bed pulling on a comfortable pair of jeans, and a t-shirt. Reaching out to grab my shoes I noticed my braclet catch the faint light coming into the window. I thumbed the small wolf at my wrist thinking how perfectly it resembled my own real life wolf. I threw on the rest of my wardrobe reached out to stroke my sleeping husbands cheek then turned leaving the room without a sound.

Once I was outside in the nights air I felt the trees calling to me, moving into the forest at a leisurely pace. I didn't have a destination in mind instead I just felt the need to be doing something my mind racing with the days events. My nerves stretched with what Elezar may tell me about my powers.

Fears of the Volturi coming, fears for my pack scared me to my core. I needed to be sure that I would be able to protect my family all of them. Deciding in that moment that I would try to force my sheild. If I could learn to use my powers then I would have more than just my wanning newborn power. I was fast seriously fast so I had that on my side, yet the voltuir had stronger powers, better trained soliders.

I stopped in a small clearing looking around with my vampire eyes. The night held a full moon, allowing me to see as clearly as in the full light of day. Small purple blooms putting out a sweet scent. The forest was alive with the rustling of the animals night creatures such as myself. I sat in the middle of the feild thinking how fitting this was. This very feild was where Edward had taken me laying in the sunlight his skin sparkling with all his beauty.

This was the place that I had lain looking at him knowing he would change my life forever. He had, not in the ways that I had expected by any means, but for the best after all. Crossing my legs indian style under me I closed my eyes then and took deep unessisary breathes. Calming my sences trying to focus on a single thing. I heard the gentle rustling of the grass and caught wind of the deer moving into my meadow.

I didn't need to feed, instead I decided to try to hold the deer in my sheild. I opened my eyes as the small fawn walked out, it clearly knew I was there. Its head lifting its ears alert and holding perfectly still. I held my hand out towards the fawn and pushed my powers out of myself. I fought hard to get a hold on it but the deer had other ideas. Walking towards me its head held high, no fear in it's eyes.

I sighed, which startled it slightly but with determination it continued forward until it was standing its head almost touching my still lifted hand. My eyes wide, I was a predator this animal clearly knew that, all the animals in the forest avoided me, avoided all vampires knowing we are dangerous. But in this moment this animal was not afraid. I reached out slowly thinking I wanted to touch it to pet its small head and show it that it was right not to fear me at least for now.

I reached over and ran one finger down its nose, it butted its head against me and moved another step closer. I am not sure how long we stayed like this me stroking its coarse fur until the fawns ears perked up and it's head whipped around at a sound that I had been to distracted to hear. It turned and leapt into the trees leaving me to stare after it. I smelled him then, upset with myself that I had been taken by surprise so easily. How was I going to save him if a deer could keep me from knowing he had been standing there.

"I needed to get away, to think." I said looking over at him as he moved to sit next to me laying on his back and looking into the sky. "Bella, sometimes I just don't know what to think about the things you can do. I wake up to find you gone I follow your scent to see that you are sitting here petting your dinner." Jake said the words softly the confusion evident in his voice.

"I scare myself sometimes too, I was just coming out here to think, then I decided to try to use my sheild on the deer only it seemed to sence my worry, it came over to me. I was as shocked as you when it allowed me to touch it." I laid back my head resting on his chest as we stared up at the stars shining brightly.

We laid that way holding hands. "I love you Bella I need you to know that. No matter what is coming, no matter what I have to do. I will keep you safe." Jake said the words with an edge. "Oh Jake I know you will protect me it's what you live for.. what worries me is that the pack needs your protection more this time. Aro wants you Jake he will see how I feel about you and want the pack. Some kind of personal guard for him." I shook at the thought of Aro taking Jake from me.

"Bella, we will fight all of us together and come hell or high water we will figure this out somehow. I will die at your side if it comes to that, but I wont allow my pack to be pet dogs for those bloodsuckers." He growled the word bloodsuckers something he never said anymore now that I had turned. I knew he ment it to the human drinkers now, and not me or the Cullens.

"Jake I need you to live, thats the one thing I need all of you to live. Alice seems to think that I will be the key to all of this somehow that I have some hidden power that will allow me to make Aro see the error of his ways. I don't want to hope she could be wrong. I want to be able to stand strong next to you able to protect you for a change. I will fight Jasper taught me well, and I will take them down one at a time to get to Aro if I have to, I won't lose you.." I stopped my words.

Jake ran his fingers through my hair as we watched the night sky change and turn from the black of night to the red of our new dawn. Watching the red cross the sky and brighten slowly as the sun woke from its slumber putting moon to rest. I felt I was like that moon. Jake was rising now to protect me while I rested in the night waiting to take over and protect him. My need to be strong enough to save us all sitting below the horizon waiting.

Once the sun had pushed the moon away completely Jake stood pulling me to my feet, he kissed me slowly our lips meeting in a tender struggle of emotions. I stepped back as he phased and called out to the pack. They were with us in minutes all in their wolf forms. I was surprised to see Leah come running up with Emmett at her side. I watched as he leaned down and fuffled the fur at her head before walking over and picking me up twirling me in a tight hug.

"Morning lil sis. Lets get this show on the road I can't wait to find out what new little tricks you have up your sleeves." He said putting me back on my feet then moving back to stand next to Leah's wolf again. "I am really happy for you both. I want you to know that you have both been through so much pain, it's so fitting that the strongest vampire I know falls for the strongest werewolf in exsistence." I said only to get a growl from a very large Paul in wolf form, along with a few huffs from the others, and a look of hurt from my alpha mate.

"Seriously guys, Leah may not be the physically strongest of you all, but she has been through more as the only female wolf then you can imagine and that makes her stronger than you all by far." I said it as I kissed my own mates head and turned to look at the pack. Time to lighten the mood and get going with that thought I said, "Last one there pairs up with Alice for training." And took off running.

I hadn't raced Leah before, I had know she was fast but damn she really was. I pushed myself harder as the pack behind us crashed through the forest. She was gaining on me, so I pushed my legs glancing over my shoulder to see that I hadn't pulled away instead she was right at my heels. Emmett was in the middle of the pack not as fast as Jake who was pulling a close third behind us.

As we hit the Cullen's lawn I pulled up slightly ahead of Leah who phased back not caring she was naked to tackle me. "Damn your a fast bitch." She said laughing as she stood and threw on her dress that had been tied to her back leg. "I thought you had me." I laughed back as Emmett grabbed Leah throwing her over the shoulder and walked into the house her screams and peals of laughter trailing behind them. Jake and the others came out of the trees my half naked warriors laughing at the apparent loser Quil who now had to train with Alice.

The pack still rough housing as usual moved around the side of the house to find Jasper who was no doubt already out back waiting on them to begin. Instead of following them I opened the front door and moved inside. Finding Esme in the kitchen she was pulling a large pan of eggs off the stove. Esme made the pack breakfast every time they trained today was no different. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and moved on into the living room.

Alice stood next to the glass windows that took up the entire wall to the back of the house. She stood with Carlise looking out at Jasper who already had the pack running manuvers. "Hey Bella." Alice said hugging me. Carlise hugged me next informing me that Alice expected Elezar to arrive any minute. I nodded and we all moved to the kitchen to bring the food out to the troops. They ate it all in a matter of minutes, I watched them as they skipped chewing swallowing most of it wondering if when they phased they forgot what manners were. It made me glad to be a vamprire surely i would stare if I had to depend on them to share anything.

"Hey don't waste it." Embry yelled at Jared who had beamed a roll at Pauls head and it fell on the ground. "Ten second rule man!" Paul said picking it up and taking a huge bite. He grinned at me with a mouth full of food and I just shook my head. Jake walked past him slapping him in the back of the head. "Pigs," He grumbled and came to stand next to me. I moved with him into the back yard to stand in the sunlight next to Jasper who was looking at the map on the table.

"Alice said they would come for us soon. I think our best course would be to meet up with them here." He said pointing to our baseball feild. "I want to keep them as far from the people of forks as possible." I nodded thinking that was probably a really good idea. The feild was far enough from both LaPush and Forks that no matter what happened no one outside of my large extended family would need to be involved.

"He's here!" I heard Alice yell from the door and turned to see Elezar walking towards me. His lovely dark haired mate next to him. Another woman smaller with blonde hair, and a man who looked like a darker verzion of Japser. I took Elezar's out stretched hand and shook it, "Welcome." I said looking at each of them. "This is my mate Jacob. Hes one of the wolves." I explained to the question in Carmen's eyes. Clearly his smell had given him away. She nodded her head with a small look of surprise in her eyes.

"So your Bella huh, I guess I see now what all the fuss was about." Kate said looking at me with a wide genuine smile. "You must be Kate, nice to meet you." I reached out to shake her hand when i shook it she placed her other hand on it and her expression changed. I tried to figure out what she was thinking when Elezar spoke, "Kate my dear Bella is a sheild it won't work on her."

I lifted and eyebrow at Kate who shrugged her shoulders, "I just wanted to see if you could feel my power." "Kate has the wonderful gift of making others feel a sharp eletrical shock when they come in contact with her skin. She was trying it out on you." Carmen said with a bit of embaressment over her friends behavior. "So my dear shall we get started then?" Elezar asked moving to hold my hand again as everyone around us moved closer to hear the words I personally was dreading.

"Ah, very interesting, you are infact the sheild we knew you to be, but much more powerful then I had expected you are a mental block as well as a physical one. It would also seem you are also some type of empath." "An empath? Like Jasper?" I asked and looked at Jasper who stood next to Jake smiling. "Ahh there it is, I see it now no your are not an empath after all." I watched the smile leave Jaspers face with dissappointment. "I was wrong it's actually better than what I had thought you are much like a sponge my dear."

"A sponge? Well um gee thats um.. Not what i expected." I said and it was followed by laughs all around. "No Bella, what I mean is you are a sponge in the sence that you are able to take on the powers all around you. Not only are you your own sheild mentally and physically, but you are any other power you come into contact with if you want it you will have it. Of course you will have to be in contact with another power to use it, but you can tap into that power and make it your own." Elezar smiled when he finished speaking.

"Thats why I could see your vision Alice I was sharing in your gift." I said with a smile. "It's why Bella was able to make us all feel so sure of our upcoming victory." Jake said smiling before he kissed me. "I need to know how to use my powers I need to learn right away, if I can tap into the gifts of the Volturi when they come we would actually have a fighting chance." I smiled hugging Elezar before spinning in a happy little circle.

"I always knew you were a freak Bella." Quil said from behind Elezar. "Oh stop whinning, your just sore your only power is turning into a big fluffy puppy dog." His shocked look causing another round of laughter. "Back to work." Jasper said and everyone once again spread out to train. "Bella you will need to clear your mind and pull your powers out. We won't have much time to train you and we need you to catch on quickly." Carlise said.

"Oh I think I can help her with that." Kate said smiling she walked over to my side arching her brow at Carlise. When Carlise nodded his head I was stunned to see Kate reach out with one finger bringing Carlise to his knees in pain. "No stop." I said moving in front of her, tearing her hand away. "Make me stop Bella," she said again advancing on my adopted father.

After alot of painful shocks to poor Carlise, and Emmett who just had to know what it was like, Kate decided I wasn't feeling motivated enough to protect them. I growled at her pissed that she even thought that I wanted to let get hurt. She shrugged it off saying that I knew she couldn't kill them so it wasnt enough motivation. When that registered she was moving towards Jake. My dead blood came to an instant boil when she moved to touch him.

I was infront of her before Jake could blink his eyes. "Don't.." I couldn't even form the words. I knew that Jake could heal amazingly fast but a shock from Kate could do dangerous things to his heart, or organs I didn't know what might come from her shocking him. I felt my rage screaming in my temples my sheild tightening then expanding around my body. "You want me to stop then you need to make me." She hissed before making a quick step to her right to reach around me towards Jacob's arm.

I grabbed her hand without even thinking the next thing I knew there was a bright blue flash and Kate was on her back ten feet away. "Holy Shit!" "KATE!" "Kick Ass" roars came up all around me. I watched as Garrett helped Kate to her feet, "Damn, I dont think I want to help her train that power anymore Elezar." Kate said with a shakey voice.

"That was so awesome, you made that cocky bitch fly through the air you have some serious powers little sister." Emmett said with a laugh. Jacob smiled next to me a huge shit eating grin on his face clearly showing how impressed he was with my new abilities. Taking my hand in his in a firm grip. "I tried to.. I didn't mean.. I guess she won't try that shit again." I said with a look of apology towards Kate.

I hope you all liked this it's longer than normal because I couldn't stop writing it..
