Chapter 12: The Inevitable

Bella POV

"Bella? BELLA?!" Flame shouted as he shook me.

"WHOA!" I exclaimed as I shot back to reality. I looked around and saw the worried faces of everyone around me.

"We were so worried Bella," Terra said as she bounded over to give me a hug.

"You're eyes were rolling in the back of your eyes," Angel continued.

"And you looked spaced out," Ritz added.

"What happened?" Xen asked.

"I just…. I had a talk with the Mistress of Elements," I explained.

"How…..?" Damien trailed off.

"I'll explain later, okay? Right now, I need to fix up these boys," I stood up from my spot and walked over to Seth. I put my hand on his forearm and closed my eyes.

Under my touch, I could feel his bones trying to reattach themselves. I used my wind element and strained it against all of his bones to stop them from moving too fast. I also used my water element to slow down the flow of his blood. I could feel his healing system panicking at the outside interference.

Hey Seth – I said to him slowly through my mind.

Who are you? What's going on with my body? Someone's messing with me!! – His panicked voice shouted at me.

Don't worry Seth. My name is Bella and I'm here to help fix you. You and three of your other pack mates were burned pretty badly by the forest fire, which was unfortunately sparked by my husband – I explained to him.

What are you doing to me? I feel like my body is betraying itself – He replied.

I assure you that I mean no harm. Just relax and let me fix you. If you feel as if your body' s being attacked, just let yourself go. I promise you'll be able to wake up in no time – I assured him.

I… I trust you – He said, even though I could hear the hesitation in his voice.

Slowly, I started manipulating his body. I reattached his bones in the right places and got his blood to start pumping in the right directions. I felt his body tense again.

Easy there – I soothed.

Sorry, Bella. I'm trying – He answered.

I took a deep breath and was also able to make his heart beat at a better pace. In a matter of a few more minutes, his body was already brand new. I could feel his spirit looking much better and his blood flow was now normal. Well, as normal as it could be for a werewolf.

Try opening your eyes – I commanded him.

I peeled my hand away from his arm and opened my eyes. Jacob and Sam were still looking a bit panicked. "Well?" Sam asked worriedly.

"Shhhh…." I said as I gestured towards Seth.

His eyes were slowly fluttering open. "Bella?" he asked.

"Hey, hey I'm here. Can you get up?" I asked.

"I… I think so," he muttered.

He set his foot down and tried to stand up. I put my hands on his shoulders to give him a crutch. He struggled and accidentally put pressure on my shoulders. Flame growled.

"Flame," I scolded.

"Sorry, Bells. I thought he hurt you," he said a bit apologetic.

"It's fine Flame. Sheesh," I grinned at him.

"Are you alright Seth?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, I'm good," Seth smiled. "Thank you," he gave me a hug.

"No problem," I said.

One by one, I fixed the rest of the boys. Each of them was thankful to me.

"Thank you Bella," Sam finally said to me.

"Hey, it's the least I could do," I assured him. I walked over to Flame and wrapped my arm around his waist. "…..for my husband's stupidity," I grinned up at Flame sheepishly.

"Hey!" he said in mock protest. "It's not my fault that the mere mention of Edweirdo makes my blood boil. Literally," he smiled at me. "Hey sorry man," Flame punched Sam on the shoulder.

"It's alright. Would it be too much to ask if you just control your temper better?" Sam asked.

"No problem," Flame replied.

"Thanks Bella," Paul and Jared said once again.

"It's okay you guys. Stop thanking me," I gave them hugs.

"We've gotta get going Bells," Jake told me. "Just remember what we told you. The Cullens are back," he said as he also gave me a hug.

"I will," I replied.

The wolves ran away.

"You're so awesome!!" Nyte gave me a huge bear hug.

"You totally need to be in our paintball team!" Dimitri exclaimed.

"NO!! She'll totally be in ours," Nixie glared at him.

"Bring it on," Dimitri urged.

"Stop fighting over my wife dammit!!" Flame shouted at both of them. Tri and Nix bowed their heads down. "She's mine," he grinned at me.

"No way!" Angel said.

"Shut up you guys," Zephyra suddenly hushed us.

"What's wrong Zephy?" Xenon asked.

"The winds are telling me that someone's approaching," she said with her eyes closed.

"Wait. Some trees are telling me that there are at least 7 of them," Terra agreed with Zephy.

"What the hell….." Flame trailed off as we watched the brushes sway from side to side. Slowly, golden-eyed pale people were in our sight. I gasped. Flame grabbed my waist and brought me behind him. He crouched down in a possessive position and growled. The rest of the family did the same as they all surrounded me.

"What do you want?" Nixie hissed as he barred her teeth towards the Cullens.

"We mean no harm," I heard Carlisle say.

"That's what every damn bloodsucker says. We mean no harm. We won't hurt you. Then what?" Angel growled.

"You attack," Terra growled.

"Calm down. We only wanted to know what started the forest fire," I heard Esme's caring voice answer. For some reason, it no longer sounded caring to me. Only menacing and deceiving.

"Why are you here? This is our territory now," Dimitri spat at them.

"Who the hell think you are? We were here first!" Rosalie shouted.

"The last time we checked, you guys left," Flame growled at them.

"This land is no longer yours," Xen added.

"We suggest you leave," Ritz continued.

Through my earth element, I felt Emmett take a step towards us.

"Go on, show us what you got fat ass. I can kill you with the snap of my finger," Nyte seethed at him.

"I am not fat!!" Emmett whined. I couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"Who's that?" Alice asked. My eyes widened and I put my hand over my mouth to shut myself up.

"No one of your concern," Zephy hissed. All of our eyes widened. Ohh she is pissed!!!

"Seriously, you're protecting someone. We can see her behind you," Jasper pressed on further.

"I…. I can't read their minds," the voice that I loathed so much had said in frustration.

HAHAHA!!! Take that Dickward!! – I shouted in victory in my head.

"What the….." he said in confusion.

"What happened?" Carlisle asked.

"I thought I hear someone say 'HAHAHA!!! Take that Dickward!!' But I didn't see anyone's mouth move," he answered.

I smirked. I could also feel Flame's smirk even though I couldn't really see his face.

"Hmmm Dickward. I might need to use that one day," Nyte teased.

"How bout Fuckward?" Angel added.

"Or better yet Assward!!" Ritz continued.

The three boys erupted in laughter and I couldn't help but let one out myself too.

Hey Xen – I thought to Xenon.

Yeah Bells? – She asked.

Do you mind switching spirits for a while? I just wanna interrogate them – I asked

No prob – She replied.

I closed my eyes and allowed our spirits to switch. When I opened my eyes, I looked down at myself and realized that I was already in Xen's body. I looked towards the Cullens and saw their unchanging figures. Each of them were still painfully beautiful but they no longer held that part of my heart. Edward looked livid at my brother's comments.

"What's wrong carrot head? Cat got your tongue?" I smirked.

"Carrot head!! I like it!" Nyte gave me a high five. I turned around and saw Edward ready to pounce at me.

Eat dirt bitch! – I shouted at his mind.

He pounced on me and I quickly reacted to his attack. I grabbed his head and shoved to the cold, hard dirt ground. "Haha! What now asshole?!" I exclaimed in pride.

"What the hell have we done to you to make you hate us like this?" Edward's question was muffled by the dirt he was probably eating. I brought his head up and threw him back to his family.

"Xen," Damien scolded, though I could sense the pride he felt for my boldness.

"Calm down honey," Jenny soothed. I looked at her and saw the way her eyes looked at me. She knew. She knew that Xen and I had switched and she just nodded to confirm my suspicions. Flame eyed us both carefully, then his eyes were also filled with knowing. He turned to me and gave me a wink.

I love you – I thought to him.

Ditto – was his heartfelt reply.

*gasp* JERK!! – I said jokingly.

Just kidding babe! Love ya too – he replied.

"What are you guys anyways?" Emmett asked.

"Take a guess," Terra smirked.

"What supernaturals?" Rosalie snorted, trying to provoke us.

"Something like that," Nixie let out her snarky grin.

"Superheroes?" Jasper suggested. Now, I had to laugh at that one.

"Why does everything you guess have the word 'super' in it?" I laughed.

"Well, we'll give you a hint," Flame smirked. "We're better than you," he whispered as if it was the biggest secret in the world. All of us Environs laughed.

"That's not possible! Vampires are the superior beings in our mythical world!" Alice denied.

"Think again shorty. You vampires think you're so superior and so much better than everyone else," Zephyra stated.

"You think that you're the best out there when you're not. You are just subjects to the ones greater than you," Ritz smirked.

"Not even half of you have powers," Nyte continued.

"And you also think that you can just play with human hearts," Nixie said as she looked towards me. Dammit, how the hell did they all know about our spirit switch?!

"You think that you can just say that you love them, then throw them away like they were just some pet that kept you entertained," Terra continued. I looked towards the Cullens and saw the pain our words were inflicting them.

"You think that human hearts are worthless and not worthy of love, because you are so superior that only you deserve it. What if I told you that humans are better than any of you guys could ever be? That they are the most compassionate, loving, and careless creature I've ever stumbled upon in this world," Flame said as he stared directly into my eyes. Even though he was talking about humans in general, I knew that he was talking about me directly.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Rosalie asked annoyed.

I lifted up the earth and made a throne-like seat for me to sit on. The Cullens eyes widened in shock.

"Look here blondie," I started. "We're better than you and ways that you can't even imagine. For one, we don't have to kill humans or nonetheless animals to keep us alive. We can live like the normal people we know that even you want to be. So you see, don't go off talking to us like you have superiority," I explained to her in an irritated voice.

"And who are you to think that you're better than us?" Edward asked.

"Elementals," Nyte said the word with pride.

"But… but you're supposed to be extinct," Carlisle stuttered.

"Does it look like were fucking extinct to you?" Nixie asked. I could sense that she was on the brink of losing her temper.

"No I mean, you were supposed to be killed off by the Volturi hundreds of years ago," Carlisle continued.

"Yes, that is true, but they did not kill all of us. It is very hard to kill an Elemental, let alone thousands of us. I do not know how the Volturi managed to do so, but they did. Very few survived. Every single one of us here were born as elementals," Damien explained.

"Doesn't that mean you guys are like 1000 years old or something?" Emmett asked.

"Not exactly," Dimitri answered.

"Our parents have given birth to us, but they weren't able to stay with us. After giving birth, they all immediately put us all in adoption agencies. You see, our parents were some of the very few that did survive the Volturi's massacre. They have lived through all of those years without being noticed.

When they gave birth to each of us, that's when they could no longer go unnoticed. An extensive amount of power is released into our world every time an Elemental child is born. This, however, does not go unnoticed by the Volturi. They could feel it. They killed each of our parents. They do not know that we exist though, and I doubt that they would ever attack us if they do," Damien finished confidently.

"How can you be so sure?" Edward taunted.

"Because this time, we have someone that the other Elementals didn't have back then," Angel said.

I took this time to switch myself with Xenon again.

"And who is that?" Alice asked.

"Bella"
