Twilight and New Moon belogn to Stephenie Meyer.

I'm glad that almost everyone seemed to like Bella's power. Thanks for all the reviews. Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

I knocked softly on Lilly's door. She had locked herself inside her room and refused to see anyone. I knew it was my fault, and I didn't want her to suffer because of me. It seemed like I was doing that to a lot of people lately.

"Lilly?" I asked hesitantly. She suddenly threw the door open and yelled,

"GO AWAY!"

Then she slammed the door, leaving me with a shocked expression plastered on my face. My new ultrasensitive hearing caused my brain to want to explode. I regained my composure and once again knocked. When no answer came form the inside, I leaned against the door and slid down to sit on the floor. I heaved a sigh and thought of how to begin.

"Lilly, I know you're in there, and I know you can hear me. I just want you to listen. I'm not quite sure how I offended you, but I'm sorry. I didn't mean to invade your personal memories or anything. You were the first person that has ever happened to before. Please, don't be mad at me."

When she yanked open the door, I fell over onto my back. I lay on the floor staring up at her as she yelled down to me.

"That was highly personal! And then you had to go and announce it to everyone! I don't know what you saw, but you had no right to publicize it!"

I stood myself up as she slammed to door in my face. I had the urge to rip the darn thing off its hinges so she couldn't close it anymore. I restrained myself and tried to continue calmly.

"Lilly, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't even know that I could do it! If you don't want me to, I'll never tell anyone what I saw. Please, just forgive me and come out." I pleaded with her. The door opened up a crack. Through the sliver I could see her eye examining me. Her voice spoke to me softly.

"Do you promise that you won't tell anyone, Bella?"

I nodded to her, "I promise."

Her hand shot out of the room suddenly and snatched my wrist. I was pulled into the room roughly and the door was shut behind me. Then suddenly, Lilly was hugging me. I was unsure of what to do, so I just patted her on the back. She pulled me in front of her.

"I've never had someone I could tell before…" She told me. "I never thought anyone would understand…"

"What is there to understand?' I asked her, and she gave me a quizzical look.

"What exactly did you see?" She asked, and I informed her about everything I saw in my vision. She nodded, "I get it now. You didn't see everything I thought you did."

"What did you think I saw?"

"Well, that man who proposed…I did marry him." She answered with a sly grin, and I couldn't help but smile back. But her face quickly fell. "I got very sick after our wedding, though. My husband, Hayden, owned a plantation in Mississippi. There was a sickness that ran through the plantations in the area, including ours. I caught it, and became very ill. Hayden stayed by my side the whole time."

She left me and went to look out the window. She stared outside for awhile, and I just waited for her to continue. I didn't want to disrupt her train of thought. She eventually resumed her story.

"There was a man, who happened to be very beautiful, who had recently moved into the community. My husband had hired him to help in the house. He helped me as a servant, but it turned out he had alternative motives. When everyone had cleared out of the house, and my husband was away to get me medicine, he stole me away and changed me."

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, not sure what to say. She laughed, but it was hard and short.

"What are you sorry for? It's not you fault." She sighed and continued. "After I was changed, I rebelled against what I was. I refused to believe that I had changed into a monster. I returned home and went to see Hayden. He was the first human I had encountered as a newborn vampire. I was…I could help it…."

She stopped speaking then, and fell onto the floor. She was sobbing hysterically. I walked over to her and put my arms around her. She tried to continue with her story between her sobs, but I was pretty sure I knew how this was going to end.

"I didn't want to…I didn't…" She cried, her tearless face contorted with pain. "I didn't mean to kill him…I loved him!"

I missed her words after that, as my vision blurred again at her touch and I began to see what she spoke of. I saw her eyes, a dark onyx black, as she walked to her husband. His confusion, her lust for his blood, the final moments of his life as she attacked. I didn't want to watch this anymore, so I pulled back to reality. Lilly was still sobbing in my arms, and I spoke softly to her.

"I can see it Lilly, don't worry. It's okay; you didn't mean to…you didn't mean to do it."

We sat there together for what seemed to be a long time. I realized that we weren't that different. Both of us had lost the love of our lives because of what we were. Me, because I was a normal human, and her, because she was a bloodthirsty vampire. Though we had been opposites, we lived out the same scenario.

After some time, Lilly stopped crying and we walked together downstairs and talked about our lives. We spoke about where she had gone from Mississippi, how I fell in love with Edward, how she met her new family in Denali, all the events that led up to now. We sat through the whole day and night. Some of the rest of the family walked through at times, but no one else sat down with us.

By the end, we had reached her promise. We were now the best of friends. Tanya walked in as we were discussing something about the weather in Jacksonville. She was holding a phone.

"Sorry to interrupt ladies, but I wanted to let you know Lilly, Laurent is coming home tonight. He's on the phone right now."

"Oh! Let me talk to him!" she said, jumping up and grabbing the phone. She rushed off into another room, not to be rude, I suppose. It didn't matter to me. My mind was suddenly preoccupied.

"Um, Tanya? Who's Laurent?" I asked, not sure what to expect. Could he be the same?

"Oh, Laurent is a friend of ours. He usually just comes and goes when he wants. He first came here about a year ago, but we haven't seen him in awhile. I think he once said he knew the Cullens. Did you know him as well?"

Oh yes, I knew him. He had to be the same Laurent, there was no question. He had been an enemy when we first met him, only leaving because he didn't want to face James. The question was, now that James was gone, how would Laurent react? I was a vampire now, and he harbored no hatred toward me. At least, that's what I told myself.

Did any of you see that coming? And I hope you learned a little about Lilly. She's...well...she's fluff. Sorry! The next chapter will get deeper into the plot, and the end will have a big surprise! Thanks for reading, please review!

And for all of you who care, I'm working on my own little Halloween special, it should be up soon!
