Sorry this is so late guys but I have been really sick and of course keeping up with my stories was the last thing on my mind. Here it is guys.
Chapter 4
Rose POV
After about three days of feeling like every bone in my body had been repeatedly broken, I started to feel more myself and I was able to move more each day without pain. I finally was mobile enough to make it downstairs where the others spent most of their days, concerned for me and my health. I made it down the stairs without falling head first and I sat down on the couch where everyone sat staring at me.
"Guys, you can stop staring now you know." I stated and they looked away guiltily for a minute before composing themselves. Jake smiled at me.
"How are you feeling Rose?" He asked and I smiled a little. Dimitri wrapped an arm around me and ran his finger through my hair.
"I feel much better thank you Jake." I said and thought for a moment about how my life would be from now on. "So what happens now?" I asked and Dimitri pulled me closer to him.
"Well Rose, we think that it might be more dangerous for you to go back to court right now. Phasing is related to your anger and since you aren't controlled just yet, it might be wiser for you to return to La Push and learn more about this. If you were to accidently phase at court, it could put you and others in danger." Jake said and I was for once speechless.
"But what about Lissa? I am her guardian and I can't just leave her and go back to Forks." I said and I was getting a little angry at where this was headed.
"Rose we just don't want you to get hurt. We don't know anything about this and you know that going to court and phasing wouldn't be the ideal situation." Lissa said and I sighed. Damn she had a point. "Besides, maybe Carlisle can also help out here. He has access to medical equipment and he can run blood work and stuff to help you figure this out." I groaned at the thought of needles but she was right and I needed all the help I could get at the moment.
"Alright, but that means that Dimitri has to go too so I won't have any of you guys with me." I stated sadly.
"Roza we will visit you as much as we can, and this isn't a permanent thing. You just need to focus on figuring this out without all of the craziness of court too." Dimitri said and so I reluctantly agreed to go back to Forks. After a few days it was time for the others to go back to court and Billy, Jake and I were headed back to Forks. Heading back to Forks, I felt lonely and nervous about what would happen when we got back there. I thought hard about where I would stay when we got there. I trusted Jake and Billy, but I didn't know much about the others at La Push so I would probably go over and stay with the Cullens again. Besides Jake was always over there anyway so I wouldn't feel so lonely and I would at least be around people I knew.
After a long road trip with a two guys I barely knew, I was definitely ready to be around someone of the fairer sex. The trip was quiet and I really wasn't very comfortable without Dimitri and Lissa. Jake drove down to La Push to take his dad home and then we would go over to the Cullen house. Jake and I pulled into the driveway and the Cullens were all there waiting for us. Esme and Carlisle smiled warmly at me and the rest of them looked confused but still took on a warm smile. I took my things from the truck and walked towards them where Jake had already found Renesmee and they were talking and laughing together. The family hugged me and I smiled slightly. I would miss all of my friends but Dimitri I would miss the most.
"Rose I understand that you are exhausted from our long drive so we will just chill for a day or two and start trying to control your phasing later." Jake said and I nodded, but I didn't miss the shocked gasps from the others who didn't know what was going on.
"What do you mean phase Jacob?" Carlisle asked honestly confused and I didn't really blame him. Hell, imagine how I felt about the whole thing.
"Apparently the bite gave her some of the tribe's abilities. She underwent her first phase in California. She phased but it was a little different than ours. We tend to keep our hair and eye color and if it changes at all, it is very close to our original. Rose phased to a white wolf with ice blue eyes." Jake said and I barely noticed the low growl that rumbled out of my chest. I glared at him and he sent me an apologetic look. I knew that he wasn't telling them these things to harm me, but it did irk me that they discussed things about me as if I weren't there listening to them.
"Rose did you just…growl?" Jasper asked slightly confused and I nodded while his eyes widened. Emmet I could tell wanted to just bow over in laughter but my glare stopped him.
"Yes I did and I would appreciate if you have any more questions to hold them for a little bit. I don't really know what is going on right now and neither does anyone else really. Also if you do feel the need to ask something, ask me instead of skirting the subject or asking others as if I weren't here." I said and they looked confused but their faces showed an apologetic quality that I have grown familiar with the last several days.
"It's okay Rose, we will get this all figured out in no time." Jake said and looked over towards the Cullens. "Rose doesn't know how to control the phase just yet so I would advise that you not do anything to purposely make her mad. Rose if you feel up to it tomorrow, come down to the Reservation and we will try to explain everything the best we can." He said to me and I nodded. I still felt a little sore from the first phase but it was slowly going away. Jake and Ness walked towards the woods talking and laughing and I watched their retreating figures. Jake had told me that he had imprinted on her and I wondered vaguely for a minute if I would imprint on someone and that knowledge scared me a little. I couldn't see myself falling so deeply with anyone except for Dimitri. I shook the thoughts from my head as an icy hand fell on my shoulder and I was a little surprised to see that it was Jasper that tried to comfort me. We walked into the house and I went to the kitchen when I saw Alice blank out. I knew that look and it was similar to what others see in me while I'm in Lissa's head. I knew that this meant that she had just had a vision and from the looks of it, it wasn't a very pleasant one either. Edward had apparently been watching her vision in her thoughts and I swore that if he could pale, he would have.
"Alice, what is it?" I asked. She looked up with a grave look on her face and looked fearful over what she saw.
"The Volturi are coming here. They seem to think that Ness is an immortal child and they are coming to carry out the sentence on us."
"What is the sentence and what is a immortal child more importantly?" I asked and she looked straight at me with a grave look plastered on her face.
"An immortal Child is a vampire that is turned during childhood. The children turned during those times are hardest to control since they are stuck at whatever level of development that they had when they are bitten. They cannot learn to be controlled and the Volturi have laws against turning someone under the age limit because of that. They bring too much attention from the humans and are known to be controlled only by their own bloodlust. The punishment for creating an immortal child is death and the death of all who concealed the knowledge of its existence." Carlisle explained and I didn't even know how to respond to that.
I started to feel power well inside of me as the discussion grew and I wasn't sure what to do. I was beginning to panic a little when Jasper noticed my fear and discomfort.
"Rose are you okay?" Jasper asked and I shook my head. I wasn't sure what was happening with me and I really needed Jake right now to tell me what the hell was going on. "Your eyes are changing to ice blue." He added.
"I don't know Jasper but I feel like there is some kind of power there and the urge to use it is getting stronger by the second, but I don't know what it is." I explained and he led me outside towards the larger area in the yard where the power could manifest without hurting anyone or destroying the interior of the house. I breathed a slight sigh of relief when I saw Jake coming out of the trees with Ness and I felt the power get stronger until I couldn't hold it in any longer. I felt myself turn very cold and suddenly the power pushed out and encased the large boulder about forty yards ahead of me.
"Woah." Jasper said in shock.
"Awesome." Emmet said in awe.
"Well I guess we know what part of your power is Rose." Jake said laughing in surprise. I was in too much shock to register anything else. "Rose I know I said we would wait a few days but do you think you could phase now?" He asked and I broke out of my reverie. "I want to see if you have access to the power while in wolf form. I nodded and tried the reverse of when I phased back to myself in California. I pictured a white wolf with ice blue eyes and after several minutes I felt the transition taking place. I shifted my body down and I felt the bones start to shift. It was a little painful but nowhere near what I experienced the first time. Finally the transition was over and there were shocked gasps from the Cullens as I opened my eyes and took in the reflection I saw from the glass on the side of the house.
"I think your power is related to your eyes rose and not just your wolf form. See if you can use your power now." Jake said and before I knew it, ice erupted from my mouth and added itself to the previous target. I smiled internally at being able to master at least some of my power. I thought about if I could use others besides ice and decided to try fire. Jake noticed the change of my eyes apparently. "Rose your eyes are turning orange. What are you thinking about?" Before he could say anymore I had sent fire towards the boulder and melted the ice from the two previous hits.
"Okay, remind me never to piss you off Rose." Jake said and the others nodded. "Alice you are going to have to get her some more clothes since she phased in the last ones." Dammit I forgot about that part. Alice brought out some clothes that looked like they belonged to Rosalie since she was the closest to my size. Before I phased back I tried water, air and earth and realized that I had a low control over all of them so far. I went to the tree line and phase back pretty quickly and dressed in the new clothes.
"Leah and Seth will come tomorrow and you should be more comfortable with Leah around while you phase. You are doing really good with this Rose and I'll see you tomorrow." He said and I nodded.
"Yeah thanks Jake. See you tomorrow." I said and went back inside where the others were already gathered planning for the Volturi to come. From what I heard, they didn't give much chance for the accused to plead their case and I wondered what kind of attack it would be and whether I would be involved in any way. I showered quickly and went straight to sleep. I had Edward's old room since they had a small house not too far away, aside from the fact that it was the only one with a bed. I drifted off to sleep worried about how things were going at court with all my friends.
Please review guys and let me know what ya think.
