"My human senses are capable of feeling your stare, you know," Bella said without taking her eyes off her History notes.

Too deep in her thoughts, Rosalie blinks at being caught. She assumed with the distance in between them would leave Bella clueless. Obviously she underestimated her mate.

Irina's lips paint a small smirk as she whispers a 'told you' under her breath and serves Bella a cup of Chamomile tea.

The irritated blonde rolls her eyes and wordlessly chooses to apologise with an embrace, one that's warm enough to express her apology but not too physical enough to interrupt Bella's focus. Their exam is coming soon and being kidnapped had Bella left behind on her study. Sleepwalks or not, she plans on excelling academically and graduating with good grades. She may or may not have the chance to attend college but it's a damn good distraction from all the bad things she had been through. Even Heidi's letter is buried so deep inside her mind that it would require an in depth digging to bring it to the surface.

Compartmentalising is good, said Tanya. So she took the coven leader's advice and chooses to refocus on being a teenager at the moment, while she can.

Feeling Rosalie's arms around her proves to be a welcomed distraction so she relaxes and leans her head against the blonde's chest. She knows Rosalie is struggling the most with this especially since a few nights ago the blonde was the one to catch Bella in one of her sleepwalk episodes. Although, that episode was odd and hilarious.

"Do you want my help?" Rosalie released her hold and pointed towards her notes.

Any chance of normalcy is very much appreciated and so Bella doesn't hesitate. Normally, Bella would prefer to be tutored by Jasper himself but all three of them could use more personal time together. Hence, she is truly glad Tanya and Esme convince everyone else to try and give them private moments at the Cullen's residence whenever they can.

After everything went down, it was hard enough to convince Charlie to let Bella out of his sight but they managed to compromise with the worried father. Bella's basically on a lockdown. The only places she's allowed out is the Cullen's residence; not that she minded one bit. She's more of a homebody at this point, trying to immerse herself in whatever peace left in her life.

So, Bella nods and points to the topic that she's struggling with. The all-knowing Irina just smiles at the sight, proud of her mate accepting the olive branch offered by Rosalie while trying to soothe the impatient and protective vampire. So she shoots Bella wink to let Bella know that all her efforts will surely be met with rewards soon; to which the human blushes and bites her lips.

Everything's not settled down yet, but they will one day. And they're definitely getting there.

"It's night terrors, commonly suffered by people with PTSD."

Tanya, Esme, Jasper and Alice process the info with a deep sigh.

"And they're made worse due to Volturi's tampering with her dreams in their effort to manipulate her emotions," Jasper added. "That would explain her fast heart rate when she's asleep. What I can sense from her is that sometimes there is calmness in her sleep but sometimes it's like a flight or fight situation for her."

Carlisle nods to confirm.

"So her past may yet escape her," Tanya concluded solemnly. "Besides shifting her focus on school and having her mates by her side 24/7, how else can we help her, Carlisle?"

He looks at his notes and suggests a few ideas, "There are triggers. We need to identify them and help her disassociate those from negative memories. Perhaps imagery rehearsal therapy could be helpful since Bella prefers to avoid being dependent on prescribed medicine."

Esme squeezes Alice's hand, feeling somewhat heartbroken at what Bella has being going through. The maternal figure seeks comfort from the seer.

Alice smiles, "One day soon, she'll be free of them." Her vision started getting clearer as Carlisle made decisions on the best procedure to treat Bella. Normally he'd leave it up to professional therapist but considering the risk it would put them all in especially Bella, he has to be the one to do it.

"Tell us more about this therapy," Tanya requested.
