p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"I was a complete nervous wreck by the time that Carlisle got home. I would not leave Edward's side no matter what. Alice tried to get me to move by asking if I could help her find Edward's Cullen Crest Bracelet that had fallen off when Alice had brought him back to the house. Esme asked If I could help her plant some roses in the garden. Emmett and Jasper asked if I would want to go play Guitar Hero with them on the Wii. Even Rose asked if I would like to do something with her. Every time someone would ask me if I would do something all I could do was turn around and slowly shake my head with a dead look in my eye. If anything were to happen to Edward, I would never be able to forgive myself./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"When Carlisle walked through the front door and saw what had happened. He dropped everything and rushed to the couch. "What happened?" he demanded to know. He frantically searched everyone's face, hoping that one of us would give him any idea of what had occurred while he was out of the house./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Alice spoke up, "It's all my fault. Edward and I went out hunting. We split up to chase our meals and when Edward found me, he just collapsed."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""Alice, its okay." Carlisle reassured her. "I'm sure that you did everything that you could to help Edward."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Everyone was silent as Carlisle tried to figure out what was wrong with Edward. I don't even know what all he did to figure out what was wrong, but after looking Edward over, he could find nothing. As he backed away with slumped shoulders, the sorrow on his face at not being able to provide any of us with an answer plainly evident./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"I couldn't take it. I collapsed to me knees in total despair. My mind started racing will all of the possible ways I could end it all. I could provoke the Wolves by crossing into their territory. Or I could go pick a fight with a nomad, I would surly loose in a fight like that. But, before I could try to think of more ways, I felt a calming feeling wash over me, pulling myself out of the sorrow./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""Thanks Jasper." I said very weakly. The second I stood up however; a strange sensation came over me. It felt as if I was being transported to a different time or place. And then, I saw the strangest thing. It was Edward, but he wasn't acting like the Edward that I know and love. He was destroying everything around him and hurting those that he loved. When he turned to face me, the first thing that I noticed about him was his eyes. They were not the Golden color I had come to dearly love. They were red, a deep blood red. After that brief connection, I was being pulled back to where I was standing in the Living Room. Everyone was staring at me as I came out of my trance. Jasper was about to ask if I was all right when I ran head long into Alice. Feebly I asked, "How do you do it?"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"My cryptic message left everyone confused./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""Do what?" Alice questioned me hesitant voice and with a look of concern on her face./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"I tried to say something but I was frozen. Couldn't move, couldn't speak, just replaying what I had seen. The pure look of rage and destruction in Edward's eyes. The hurt and injured faces of my family. The silence of the room just allowed time for these images to flash in my mind over and over until Alice spoke. /p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""Bella, did you see something?" her timid voice echoed around the room./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"To answer, I just nodded. I could not find the words to describe what I was feeling or what had happened. I didn't even know how I was going to describe what I saw to the rest of the family. "What did you see Bella?" Alice asked the question I was beginning to dread to answer./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Looking at Emmett and Jasper as I beginning to tell the story, "It was like I was transported to somewhere else. When the world stopped spinning, I was standing in this Living Room, but all hell had broken loose. The furniture was turned over and Jasper and Emmett were fight off Edward." I turned to face Esme, Alice, and Rose as I continued my story. "Around the room laid the beaten and bruised bodies of Esme, Alice, and Rose. Carlisle was trying to help them while Edward was fighting Jasper and Emmett. Then Edward and I locked eyes. When I looked into them, I did not see the man that I love. I saw bloodthirsty monster with glowing red eyes. Red eyes contempt with destroying us all."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Everyone stood in complete silence, to shocked to say a word. Carlisle was the first soul brave enough to speak. He stated in a concerned voice, "Bella, it is not natural for a vampire to have more than one gift."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""What do you think that it means? Both the vision and her having a second power." Jasper asked Carlisle./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;""All I know is that it can't be good. What Bella describes concerns me. I defiantly do not think that it is a good idea to give Edward any human blood. Additionally, if Bella has developed two gifts at separate times, it might mean that her power is not what we think it is. It might be something much more complicated." Carlisle answered./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"What Carlisle said only confused me more. Could this all be related to what is happening now. The debate waging war within myself was completely terrifying and all I wanted was for it to stop. I wanted everything to go back to normal. I just wanted to have my shield as a power and I wanted to be wrapped in Edward's loving arms. Having his comforting words flowing into my ear as he reassured me that everything was going to be okay./p

p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"I would greatly appreciate any reviews as this is my first story in a while./p
