Silver Blood

Benjamin POV

I could feel the moment my sister lost consciousness. Our powers were so evenly set sometimes. She could control light and I dark. She was stronger during the day, if she was alone, and could sense my waking--the darkness leaving my mind. I was stronger during the night and could feel darkness coming over her mind.

"Sis is hurt." I said to Rosalie as I ran off. I went to stairway closet to her locker and found her on the platform at the start of the second floor.

I heard Rosalie come up behind me. "Damn her." She mumbled, pulling out her phone.

I focused on Bella, trying to feel how hurt she was. It was easier while she was unconscious or sleep, while her mind was dark. Another of Bella's powers was a sort of mental shield to keep things out. I could make physical shields, but only to keep people in, close to me. Our powers really were the best and strongest when we were together. Sometimes I think Bella and I are twins, rather than a year apart. Or at least, that we were meant to be.

"Bella, you're so clumsy." I smiled at her.

Bella POV

I woke up in the hospital. My head hurt and I didn't want to open my eyes, yet. I felt a hand on mine and a happiness came over me. I knew it was Ben. I always felt closer to him with my eyes closed. Under self-induced darkness. It was the opposite for him. Even in the blackest darkness, having your eyes open gives just a little extra light. I think this is what made me such a coward and Ben so brave. I have to close my eyes to be closer to him, he has to have his open.

Reluctantly, I opened my eyes. I was glad to see Ben and not Rosalie or James.

"Ah, you're awake." I heard a gentle voice say. "I'll go get the doctor."

The girl rushed from the room and returned with a nice looking, blond man.

"Glad that you're awake, Isabella." The doctor said. "I am Dr. Carlisle."

"Hello." I smiled.

"You look much better and you seem pretty well, but I'd like you to wait a while before going home. I want to be certain that you do not have a concussion. I'm afraid your head may be sore for a while."

"That means no more tumbles for at least a week." Ben teased, and I laughed with him.

"I'd like you to drink this." Dr. Carlisle held out a cup. The girl brought it to me.

Ben and I exchanged glances. We were both wiccan and could usually recognize withes or witchcraft. I drank the potion while Ben asked, "You're wiccan?"

They seemed surprised, then Carlisle looked serious. "Only myself. Though I am more a doctor than a witch."

"Us, too."I said, trying to ease his suspicion. We didn't need wiccan enemies. "The witch part, I mean."

"I don't want to cause either of you harm." Carlisle said. "My main practice here is just medicine."

"Thanks for the potion." I smiled, trying to lighten the mood. The girl took the cup from me.

"Oh, this is Emily." Carlisle said, and the look he had made it clear what there relationship was. "I should check on my other patients." Carlisle excused himself.

As soon as he was gone, Ben turned to Emily. "So how did you meet the doctor?"

I would have scolded him for being nosy, but I was really curious, too.

Emily looked a little nervous for a moment, mentally decided whether or not to tell us. "You can't tell anyone else this story, alright." We both nodded. "It started with this guy named Sam. He was engaged to my cousin, then all of the sudden he started hitting on me. I tried to stay away, but it was like he was stalking me. Then one day he just...changed. He exploded into a wolf...a werewolf. My face was scarred, ruined. Then I came here and met Dr. Carlisle. He fixed my face with some... I don't know, magic potion, I guess. He made my scar completely disappear and did something to keep Sam away from me. I fell in love with Carlisle while we were in the hospital."

Should I call that romantic? Or scary? I mentally asked.

Just smile. He replied.

A knock came at the door and James entered. I could see a hint of Rosalie's blond hair in the hallway. Of course, the only way for James could come see me during the day would be for Rosalie to put a spell over his skin.

"How do you feel, Isabella?" He smiled.

"Loads better." I replied.

He ran his hand through my hair and across my cheek. "Take it easy for a while. Maybe Rosalie needs to take better care of you?"

"Don't burden Rose." Ben said. "She's under too much stress already."

In our mind, he said, She really needs to get laid.

I hit his arm, but i laughed.

"Are the two of you staying here tonight?" James asked.

We were both surprised. He was giving us the chance to stay. A chance to be away from him. His all-seeing eyes, his all hearing ears.

I smiled. "It would be good for me to rest."

Ben took my hand. "We'll be home in the morning so we can go to school."

"Rosalie will wait." James guaranteed.

A/N: I just want eveyone to understand that people will be very mixed up in this story. I'm trying not to have any OC's unless necessary. Be clear, this will not become a Bella/Edward story.That's not to say that I know who she will be with,but it won't be Edward. That's too cannon. It probably won't be Jacob, either. I don't even have a place for him in my story, yet. Edward will eventually appear, but I'm not sure when.

If anyone wants to give me suggestions or request, that would be greatly appreciated. Also, this story will change point of views a lot. I have a lot of places and characters to set up, so straight Bella POV won't cut it. It will likely be her the most though.

That is all for now. Thank you for reading.
