Chapter 5
The powers
"Wow guys that was beyond awesome and nice choice of song Melisa" I ran over and hugged her.
"Well I don't want any one messing with my man...beside you three of course. Anyone else has to go" Melisa stated
"Or go through us to get to Nicky. We're the one that made sure you were the right choice and not some whore who fools around or cheats" Jenny said with a wink
"Well la di da, good to know I'm good girlfriend material for some one" I smiled a little at my joke. "oh right Melisa that's not all you do is it?"
"Yes but that also means I can kill you using the liquid in you system.Or manipulate ice, the weather you name it. As long as it has something to do with liquid I can control it." She gave me a sly smile when she finished.
"Remind me never to get on your hit list or I'm doomed" I laughed and nudged her but she probably didn't feel it at all. "Hey what is Nicholas's power, he has to have one right?"
"He does but you'll find out about that during the ceremony for your transformation okay, but don't worry to much about it Bella" Melisa said
"Alright whatever you say Mel. Okay okay on a serious note I want to thank you guys for trusting me enough to share your powers with me. Yes I'm nervous and scared as all hell about the change as you can tell because I just swore yet again. I know I'll always have you here for me as I will be there for you through thick and thin. Here's to me living through it and meeting you on the other side alright girls" I began to tear by the end of my little speech. They huddled around me and we did a group hug.
"Bella we swear to be there for you and support you as we know you will support us .I know you will make it through the transformation and become even more beautiful then you already are. You are our sister and our friend." Jenny and Terry nodded their head in agreement with Melisa.
"Yeah and we even getting you a little potty mouth instead of that goody-too-shoes mouth of yours. You'll see we'll do something special once your changed, don't worry between the four of us nothing bad will happen" Jenny cheered
"For we are what?" Jenny cried
"Las señoras de los elementos" we screamed
"We are what?" Melisa cried
"Las señoras de los elementos" we screamed
"What are we?" Terry cried
"Las señoras de los elementos" we screamed
"What?" I cried
"Las señoras de los elementos" we screamed
After we calmed down went back inside to my bedroom. The girls were getting a little nervous because Nicholas hadn't come back yet. They paced back and forth the length of my bedroom while I watched from my bed. My eye lids were beginning to feel heavy, things were slowly going in and out of focus. In a matter of minutes I was fast asleep on my bed leaving my friends to worry about the where about of their man.

Bella's Dream
I'm running where I was not too sure but my surroundings did look vaguely familiar. There are trees everywhere. I could see a light up ahead, I stretched my hand out toward it, surprisingly I'm ot clumsy in this dream and I'm extremely fast. There's a figure up ahead it appeared to be male but I wasn't to sure because of the distance between us, I couldn't even identify the colour of their hair, I just knew it was short.
the light is getting closer and so is the mysterious figure. I broke through the trees and was blinded by the bright sunlight. Once my eyes got adjusted, I took in my surroundings, I gasped I was in our meadow. To me left I saw myself and Edward on the grass, we had just told each other that we were in love. the scene soon faded and the figure spoke "Bella what are you doing here, you shouldn't be here" he said
"Why I don't understand. Is that really you...Edward?" I stammered while rushing over to the now hunched over figure.
"Yes."He said. "we all thought you were die how are you here not that I'm not happy to see I'm just a little confused." He said that and then gave me a bone crushing hug.
My eyes began to tear up and I pushed him away. His face looked hurt from being rejected but why would he be doing this now? He didn't love me, he was probably just relieved I was alive so he couldn't be guilty. "Edward I'm fine you don't have to worry about me you can leave I'm alright so wish the family my best okay" I turned to leave and go back home to Charlie, but to cold arms around my waist stopped me.
"Bella I lied alright I just wanted to protect you from being to close and that was a mistake which I am truly sorry for. Look at me please,I have and will always love you no matter what is to come or what has happened we'll do this together." He kissed my forehead and rubbed my back. I looked up to his eyes and he looked into mine. We just stared at each other with no words to communicate, he slowly began to incline his head toward mine when we were interrupted.

"Well isn't that just the sweetest thing. Now Edward we have a slight problem, your holding my girlfriend and I honestly doubt she wants that" Nicholas said
"No that isn't true I don't love you, I've never loved. To be honest I don't even like you Nick, please just let us be. There are more spectacular girls out there for just not me. I love Edward and he loves me. There's no way I will freely go to you." I screamed to Nick
"I thought you might have said that.That's why I brought these along with me." He clapped his hands together and the cullen one by one appeared tied to logs hoisted over separate fires. "Now as you can see they are tied to logs over fire. Why you might ask don't they just break free? Well they are under my control." Nick smiled a cold smile and looked at us.
"So what once they are free of your control they'll kick your sorry behind" Edward said. He rushed at Nick and punched him right in the face, numerous times. As Edward did that one by one the Cullens began to regain control over their own bodies. They quickly circled Nicholas, and were going in for the kill.
"ENOUGH!" Nick stated. He raised his arms and everyone went rigid. Nick calm said "Now all of you look at the one you love the most". Of course Carlisle & Esme, Rosalie & Emmet and Alice & Jasper looked at each other. "You no longer love them, tear them apart and set the pieces on fire".
Right in front of my eyes I saw all the cullens eyes go pitch black as they gazed at their mates. Edward and I weren't affected by this because Nicholas wasn't focused on us. Anyways they all were ready to tear each other to pieces and they didn't even realize what they were going to do. "Stop it Stop it STOP IT!" I screamed tears pouring down my face. "What ever you want you can have it, just don't tear apart their love for each other, it's to pure to be destroyed. Please just let them go." I sobbed.
I felt two arms wrap around my waist. "But it is you my dear is what I want, but your love for him is getting in our way" I looked over to Edward who's face was pained. "I...I can't do it I love him more than life itself" Edward made a move for me but Nick easily dogded it. "Well then you'll just have to watch the family you love so much tear their mates to shreds. And then they will for all eternity knowing they killed the most precious thing in their lives. It will be all. your. fault. Bella." I squirmed and wiggled against his arms. Kicking my feet up and then throwing my wieght down on his arms.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered. "Edward you have to leave me alone"
"But Bella please we can fight this"
"No we can't don' t you see what will become of your family if we even try. I know you would be able to look anyone of them in the eyes ever again if some one is kill. So,... I'm making the choice for you." A new wave of tears hit right then. "I want you gone, I no longer want you near me."
"But Bella... I I-" Edward started
"Please don't make this any hard then it is. Go. Just... go" I had to pause because my throat began to close. I sank to the ground, Nick having just released me. I cried for the love of my life, I cried for our loss and I cried for our pain, but mostly I cried for the damage I had just caused the man I loved more then life itself.
"Now say you will love only me until you die and we are done" Nick whispered into my ear only centimeters away from my face.
"I... I will only love you Ni-Nicholas" I whispered.
"Good" He gathered me in his arms and was slowly inclining his head closer to mine when I heard
"BELLA WAKE UP! IT'S JUST A DREAM!! WAKE UP PLEASE!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!"
and with that I was jarred wide awake looking at the worried faces of Melisa, Terry and Jenny.
"Whats going, on where's the fire, why are the sheets soaked?"I looked at them with a dazed expression as I slowly remembered my nightmare. "Oh thank god it was just a dream"
"Would you like to explain to us what the HELL just happened to you" Jenny asked folding her arms across her chest, and raising one perfect eye brow at me.
"Well what did you guys hear?" I asked while looking at the sheets I was twisting in my hands nervously.
"Oh nothing much you just SCREAMING you HEART out and crying enough to fill a few pools but hey that's nothing for us to worry about right?" Jenny finished sarcastically
"oh well about that..." it took a good half hour to tell them about my nightmare and when I was done they were all staring at me.Their eyes were the size of dinner platters and their mouths hung open. I waved my hand in front of Terry's face to see if she was alright.
After getting no response from her I did the same to Jenny and Melisa getting the same response. I was getting worried about them when I was then suddenly smacked with a pillow over the head and they all were laughing. I sighed in relief knowing that they were okay.
"So Bella you have some seriously srewed up dreams you do realize that don't you?" Melisa stated.
"Yea but I think that it was some sort of sign or something telling me to give up on the love I once had with, with E...Edward and maybe just maybe give Nick an honest chance. But it's hard because he was my first and only love." I said hugging a fluffy pillow to my chest.
"But, wow, girls you do understand she now knows of Nick's true power right?" Melisa said while Terry and Jenny glanced at me then they started a discussion to fast and low for me to even try to understand.
"Wait what did you just say Melisa?" It took me a few moments for me to understand what she had just said , because I thought it was ludicrous that in my dream, my nightmare, I was able to understand and know Nick's power, and not just something my imagination just made up. How was that even possible he had never shown them to or around me. To my knowledge that is, but who knew maybe he did use in front of me or even on me.
"Hello, I might not be able to understand what you are saying or hear you but I do know that you are talking about me." I grumbled as I squeezed the pillow closer, they continued their conversation for the next ten minutes and then they graciously (sarcasm) invited me into their conversation.
"Okay so here's the deal B." Jenny started "You kind of freaked us out with your crazy dream/nightmare thingy and we were discussing what that could mean for you and us. You see no one, not even one of us, or any of the other 'Las señoras de los elementos', knew of Nicholas's power before the transformation, let alone how powerful he truly is. To this day no one beside Nicholas, and now you, has ever fully understood his power. Or what he is trully capable of, the question now is, is it safe for you to let him know you know or to keep it a secret?" she mused aloud
"Hmmm..." they contemplated the thought for a minute.
"There is also something that's been, how to put this, umm." Melisa was stumbling over her words as she attempted to voice their thoughts."Screw it, Bella you have put us in a very hard position alright. uhh, it wasn't on purpose but it's still very hard on us. Wait it's not supposed to sound like that, you've, you see, it's just that- "
"Melisa what are you talking about? How could I put you guys in a bind?" I interrupted. The confusion must have really been written ll over my face because Terry stepped up to the plate next.
"Let me see if I can explain this better, okay. As Jenny said you shock the living daily light of us with your dream and as Mel has stated you've put in... in a difficult situation. We're just worried because of whats happened, and because it can mean one of four different outcomes. From what we have observed you are most likely will be the most powerful out of all the 'Las señoras de los elementos' Nick has ever had. The outcomes we think are possibly are; a) you will be the down fall of Nicholas, b)you will be the first Las señoras de los elementos to escape from Nick possesion, c) you will help Nicholas take over the vampire community and over take the vulturi, or our personal favourite d) we are blowing this way out of perposion, there's actully nothing to worry about and we are worrying for nothing" She finished with a warm smile.
"So how does this put you guys in a bad place?" I asked. Maybe I would be he first to escape Nick, if I were to be the most powerful of the Las señoras de los elementoswhy wouldn't I be able to get away? That thought was intrupted when Jenny said
"Bella we will have to combine our powers and hunt you down if you were to do any of those options except choice 'c' of course." Jenny's serioud tone told me how important this really was because she is never serious unless there is grave danger or very high stakes.
"Oh okay, I understand what your saying...I think" I said lamely looking down at my pillow.
Terry lifted my chin to look her in the eyes instead of my pillow. "Do you? Do you really understand what we would have to do? It would kill all of us to have to do that, but we would, will, do it. If it is in Nicholas's best interests, we can't go agianst him, we love him. And he loves us, he his our now and our future, there's nothing else out there for us without him by our sides. He's our world and we our his, there's no other comparison out there.So, please please don't make us do something we all will come to regret." The look in her, Jen's and Mel's eyes told me they would do it if they had to, but they would also regret just as she said.
"Alright sweetheart, you are one of us in all sense of the word, well expcept for that one part. We have opened our hearts to you s you have to each of us. We accept you flaws and all, just as you have accepted us and our issues." she placed her hand on my cheek and smiled at me. Before she got up left the room, Mel left right after her, probably to talk some more, but she gave me this look that I couldn't identify. It was almost pity but why?
Jenny was the only one left and she had a weird expression on her face as well. But it was gone as soon as I turned towards her, she most likey thought I didn't catch it.
"So has Nicholas come back yet or is he still in MIA status?" I inquired
"oh he's still out, but I have my clones out searching for him" Jenny seemed like she wasn't to concerned any more so I let the matter drop. Mel and Terry didn't look as worried as they were before my little episcade.
"What do you think he's doing?" I asked, while turning to lay on my stomache.
"Well he called while you were sleeping to say he was just getting everything ready for your ceremony for friday." she said mirroring me.
"What on earth could be taking him, a vampire, this long?" I was curious to say the least.
"Well who said that what he was doing was on earth, Bella?" I froze I couldn't believe she had just said that so casually. My face showed my shock because she bursted out in a giggle fit.
"Bella, Bella," she sang "What are we going to do with you? Of course he's on earth, I can't believe you bought that." She continued laughing for a bit longer until she regained her composure.
"Jenny what we were guys saying about 'combing your powers'?" I asked
"We can put our powers together to intensify them and do some wicked stuff" she winked
"Like what exaclty give me an example" Now I couldn't believe what she was saying, it was just too... just too much.
"Okay so Mel-Mel can make it rain and I could make a tornado, -not that I would with out a good reason- if we combined our two powers what do you think would happen?" she said looking just a tad smug.
"oh well that would be a hurricane, right" I said in complete shock and excitment
"You betcha, girlie, you remember Hurricane Katrina right?" she said with a knowing look.
"Of course who doesn't all those lives destoried in mere minutes, it was awful why would you ask-" then it dawned on me why she would bring it up
" That was you guys! Are you freeking kidding me?" I was amazed how could they be that powerful.
"But why would you do that? All those people lives were lost" I whispered.
"Bella most of those "lives" that were the lives of vampires. They were running rampid in that state, so the Volturi asked us to do some damage control. They were supposed to be coming closer to Washington, and we just couldn't have that happen now could we?" She finished
"I see where your coming from but still. Did you have to make the damage that bad? So many were affected by that, I'm not saying that I don't agree with the whole vampire issues there but it just doesn't sit right with me." I thought about all those who lost loved ones in that Hurricane and my heart ached
"We discussed many other options Bella but that was the only way to make sure that they all were taken care of. And I know how you feel, we were and still are against what we did, but sadly we've done worse." Jenny looked like she was about to cry as she whispered that last sentence.
"What do you mean who bad can you guys really do?" I wasa preplexed I couldn't imagen them doing harm to anyone with out a justified reason.
"Between blizzards and Hurricane the one thing we wish we can take back the most was the Tsunami in Thailand." I was floored. THEY, three average sized women caused THAT mcuh damage?
"THAT was YOU GUYS?!" I just couldn't believe it how could they do that to all those innoncent people, did they even really cared about what they caused and all the lives they took?
"Bella please ...-sob-... You don't know how much we FOUGHT with Nick ...-sob-... we didn't want to but he... he made us. To this very day we still send money, toys, clothes, food, you name it. If any of us could rewind time we would. The tsunami got out of control, we tried and tried to stop it but we couldn't all we could do was move the humans out of the way and save the ones caught in the aftermath." by the time she finished she was rocking back and forth sobbing uncotrolably.
"Jen, I believe you, I believe you. For you girls to FIGHT with Nick over some thing it must have meant you were against this, and you faught tooth and nail to the very end. Love is a very cripling thing but I understand your desicion alright." I had her in my arms rocking back and forth along with her.
From that moment I knew one thing.
I was in deep and things were only going to get darker before they got brighter.
A/N was going to leave you with this criptic message, but thought agianst it Don't forget
"Guys could you please do me a favour and put in some toast while I shower and take my human minute"I hollered from bedroom door.
"Yea we will, just don't take to long we have alot of preprations to make up today alright!" one of them called up to me, I think it was Mel
"Yea, yea I got it"
Half an hour later
"Alright so tomorrow night is the big event. We have alot to do and so little time." Jenny said hopping up and down. In many ways she reminded me of Alice.
Alice everytime I thought of her I missed them all so much and I knew with what I was about to enbark was only taking me that much further from them then I wanted to be.
"okay lets just get this over with shall we." I sighed and got holled into the living room.
For the rest of the day I got a complete make-over. From shaping and filing my nails to talking about my past memories. They made sure nothing was going to go wrong for the ceremony. It took the enitre day but when we were finally done I was drained, in all meanings of the word. Physically, emotionally, mentally you name it, I was dead tired and I just wanted to sleep and never wake up again.
But could I get that? Nope as soon as I walked in my bedroom I see Nick sitting on my bed waiting for me.
"Bella, would you please have a seat beside me please." It should of been a question, but I could tell it was a command by the look in his eyes. He patted the space beside him and smiled up at me. I repressed groan and was obeydent.
"So Bella tomorrow's a very special and important day for you." He said while slowly inching closer to me. I wanted to badly to wipe that smug look off his face then bolt as fast as I can, but I knew that I just couldn't do that.
So instead I replied. "Yup, I'm really nervous about that pain and what not, but I know when all is done I will be okay and happy." in my ead I replaced 'happy' with "where I truelly belong... with him"
"No worries my darling, I'll make you very happy, (he grinned) and a woman in every sense of the word. But that is to come later, first you must go through the transfermation and then you will becme officially mine. And. No. One. Elses." He put his arm around me and I had to look the other way.
"Please I just need some time."
He turned my head towards him roughly "Bella you will love me. You will obey my every word and you. will. be. mine. Do you get me little girl? I just wanted to make sure you understood that before I had to do something rash, like ... Pay the dear police chief of Forks a visit and then go down to La Push. You would have to be planning two funerals. One for your dear daddy and your mutt of a bestfriend's dad." He finished and then left me alone to silently cry alone.
The girls came in a while later and just put their arms around me while I cried. I knew that they couldn't do anything to help and that they felt just as helpless. We were in this together from then on, but...
I was trapped.
Alright here's the deal, one of my editor's is on vacation and the other is still editing. SO I figured "Hey why not post the unedited version 'Raw' and then later add the edited one while waiting. So that's what I've decided to do for you guys and ladies enjoying the story. I have decided how I'm going to change bella because that was somewhat tough.
Thanks for all you reviews so far
Tye-Tye
P.S. A special thank got out to a Miss Janet out there. She was the one that made me think, why not just post the U.E. version. So I dedicate this chapter to her. I was happy to see more then the usually "update Soon"
