AFteR tHe FacT
I opened my eyes and everything came back to me.
It was like tunnel vision, I saw most if not all of my memories up to where I was now. The first time I met Edward to when he left me in the forest. Jacob, becoming close to him and watching him die. Alice's tendency to go over board with the make overs she gave me and the shopping addiction. Jasper, Rose, Carlisle, Esme, Emmet, Mom, Charlie, Angela, Ben, Tyler, Lauren, Erick, Mike, Jessica, Victorya, James, Lauren, Nick, Terisa, Melisa, Jennifer and the Las señoras de los elementos.
"Bella do you know who we are or what your doing here?" Melisa asked
"Yeah, your Melisa aka Mel-Mel, power can manipulate all forms of water or liquid. That's Terisa, aka Terry, power levitating and can manipulate the earth. Finally there's Jennifer aka Jenny. She can duplicate herself and the wind is her element. You three are Las señoras de los elementos, and now so am I." I stated.
It finally sunk in that I was one of them, I went through the transformation and survived it. YES! They engulfed me into a group hug. I was just so happy to have survived, and now be with my friends and fellow Las señoras de los elementos.
"Alright, first thing on the agenda Miss swan is to get you a mirror, so you can see what has changed and how we all already saw you as." Jenny ran into the bathroom at a vampire speed, but now I could see it.
She came back holding a full length mirror facing her so I could only see the back of it and not my reflection. Mel and Terry ran to the closet and bathroom, they came back with a new outfit and a brush. I changed into the jeans and t-shirt then pulled my hair into a pony-tail. Only to get swatted by Terry and who brushed my hair for me.
I was extremely nervous to see what I looked like and what my element might be. One of my two fears were faced when Jenny suddenly flipped the mirror and I saw my new reflection. The person looking back at me was gorgeous,, I looked at what she was wearing then at what I was wearing. SHE WAS ME! At first I thought I changed my appearance completely, but as I got a closer look at myself, I saw that all my features were just perfected. My nose a bit smaller, but still my own. More definition to my curves, I stayed the same height, but my legs seemed longer then before. My hair was a little thicker and had some auburn highlights, it was wavy then curled a bit at the ends.
What startled me were my eyes. I was expecting to find a startling bright red like all the other stories I have heard, but instead I found myself looking into a deep metallic purple. I couldn't tear my eyes off of the colour. I was hypnotized by them, I had never seen such a beautiful colour in my life. I touched the mirror were my eyes were then my temple.
"Wow" I breathed out.
"See Bella, your beautiful, but you always were to begin with, you were just the only one not to notice it." Mel said.
"Should I worry about blood lust, or whatever you guys have to go through" I had no idea what I was in for.
"Well you won't have the whole blood lust thing to deal with until the next, next half moon, meaning if you wanted to you could go to school but Nick would be your boyfriend there and the only guys you could talk to were teachers or saying no to guys." Terry said.
"But wouldn't most of the student body try to stay away from us? It was like that with.... them. All our classmates stayed away and admired from a far. They knew that something was different about them, and most humans try to avoid different." I recalled
"Okay so we may have left out two important things about being apart of the Las señoras de los elementos...." Jenny shifted her weight from foot to foot and looked to Terry for help.
"WHAT?!? I mean what do you mean you may have left out two important things about becoming a Las señoras elementos? I thought you were completely honest with me. How could you do this?" I looked away from them at that point. They were supposed to be my rock, the people I could always depend on.
"Bella relax" Mel went to put her hands on my shoulders, but I shrugged her hands off me and took a step away from her. I could see that, what I did hurt her and I had to fight not to give her a hug and apologize.
"Bella, its not as bad as it seems. We didn't tell about it is because if you didn't make it through the change it wouldn't matter to you anyways. Alright. So if you cut being the drama queen and forgive us we'll tell what it is 'kay?" Jenny's eyes were pleading while she said this to me.
"Fine, I'll forgive you but we all have to be nothing but honest to each other on all subjects. Including Nick too. Agreed." Those were my terms if they didn't agree I would have a long time of learning without their help.
They hesitated for a moment, looked at each other then back at me. They did that three times before, each one of them sighed and agreed with me. I went to Mel and gave her a hug to know that we were all good.
We went over to the bed and sat on its deep purple sheets.
"Wait purple? Weren't they..... When...." I was confused, I would have sworn they were blue last time I took notice of them.
"Aww. Bella don't you remember what happened at then end of your change?" Terry asked.
"Ummm, yeah I do. I saw my mom and dad one last time." I said, remembering the scenes with both Charlie and Renee.
"Wait, what?" Jenny looked confused. What happen to my body while I was away from it?
"Bella could you please explain what you mean."Mel asked and got a little more comfortable on the bed.
"Well..." I launched into what happen when I blacked out the first time, and how I retreated from the pain. They were impressed at that, I told them how I tried to do it again but it didn't work as well. I got sympathetic looks, because they knew how I felt. When I told them about the cinema type setting and watching my memories they shared a knowing look.
"What's with the look guys?"
"Well it seems you have the spirit element, but what I don't understand is why you went from hot to cold, Bella or what happened...." Terry looked down and fiddled with her hair.
"What? What happened to me guys?" I was worried about what could have happened to me.
"In a while, ok Bells?" Mel answered for Terry.
"Umm. Okay...." That went into how I went to Charlie and how he was crying when I saw him. They were all as surprised with Charlie's reaction as was I. He wasn't an emotional kind of guy but he really cared about me and he loved me. When I told them about Renee and how she was also just as upset as Charlie, they weren't surprised. What surprised them was how strong she was to let me go at the end. I knew she should would be okay, because she had both Phil and my dad for her.
"Wow, Bells you went through all that? In such a short amount of time? Wow." Jenny looked at me in awe.
"Well I didn't have a choice, so it really isn't that amazing." I mumbled
"Yeah, yeah Bella your way to humble." Jenny teased me then poked my ribs.
"So now that you know what happened on my end what happen here?" I really wanted to know why the sheet got changed and why they all didn't want to talk about it. It couldn't have been that bad right?
"You see when you blacked out we thought you were done." Terry said
"Yeah, no more pain and all we had to do was wait and set up somethings for you to come back to us" Mel picked up where Terry left off.
"So everything was going normally then you started to whimper." Jenny did what Mel did to Terry. Finished her thought.
"Which was weird, but we thought nothing of it because you used to sleep talk." Mel said.
"For a few hours you cried and said sorry a lot, but now we know that you were speaking to your parents." Jenny said.
"But then when your heart stopped we, began to hear some sort of liquid flowing." Terry said.
"At that point we weren't in the bedroom with you, we were in the main room cleaning up after the ceremony. So we went to make sure that water wasn't leaking into the cave from where we entered." Mel said.
"When we got there, no water was coming in or dripping. We thought nothing of it until we smelt the blood." Terry said, then looked down.
"Bella it...it was so....." Jenny started.
"No words can describe what we saw. You were bleeding out." Mel said.
"Blood was pouring out of your ears, mouth and eyes. Then the screaming began" Jenny said.
"It was the most agonizing sound any of us had ever heard in our lives" Terry said.
"You were bleeding, crying, screaming and then you began to claw at yourself." Mel began to sob.
"You scared the shit out of us. We thought you were rejecting the venom or the elixir." Jenny said as she wrapped her arms around her torso.
"Melisa had to put all your blood back into you" Terry said.
"Why do think I responded like that?" I was shocked, was there something wrong with me. Did I reject their elixir.
"So it means I may not be one of you guys after all." I said looking down at the silk beneath me. I sighed and looked at them.
"What now? I have the same type of silver, gray eyes there has to be hope right. Right?" I was desperate and on the verge of hysterics. Why did this have to happen. Why couldn't it be uncomplicated.
"Well we can tell you the two important things we....um... 'forgot' to tell you earlier and then we'll go back home. Oh, You won't see Nicholas for about a month?" Terry said trying to cheer me up as much as she could.
"Really why" I may have sounded a bit to cheery for their liking but they also understood my reasoning.
"Two reasons, A we don't know what your power or powers are. That is if you have any, no offence by the way."
"None taken, and the other reason" I was curious to why I got this window of him being out of my life. Not to say I wasn't happy, because I was happy. I was over the moon with joy.
"To tell you the truth I have know idea why. All he told us was that there was something important for him to get or do."
"Oh, okay. Sooooo are ya' going to tell me what these to secrets are?"
"Yeah, Yeah, they aren't that big, but we don't like to broadcast them."
"Bella you know that we aren't your average vampiresses."
"Right" I nodded
"And that we have some pretty incredible powers."
"But what we didn't tell you was that we have the ability to change our eye colour at our will."
"Are you serious? At your will what if your thirsty or mad or whatever?" I can't say I was too surprised be this. Why, well because they are everything but average and that they have been surprising me since the first day I met them.
"Yup, doesn't matter if we're, pissed or thirsty. Our eyes will never give us away unless we've been injured. Then they will turn the colour they were when we first changed."
"Can I see you true eye colours?" I wasn't sure of what I was about to see and honestly I didn't care. I knew it would amaze me so I couldn't wait.
Mel, Jenny and Terry all closed their eyes and stayed very still. For about two minutes they looked like statues. First was Mel, she opened her eyes and a startling deep metallic blue greeted me. Once again it was like no colour I have every seen. At first glance all you see is a flash of silver, but then you see the blue, it almost looks like there is glitter in her eyes. Next was Terry, I always thought she would have had hazel eyes. She had emeralds, her eyes were a light forest green that also seemed to sparkle just like Mel-Mel's. Jenny was the last to open her eyes, but before she did she gave a disclaimer for them.
"Bella, my eyes aren't as.....well their colour just isn't normal so I like to never have them as they were, They just don't look right and I can't say I hate them but I certainly don't like them at all. Now that, that's said here you go." She let out a long breath then open her eyes.
I was shocked. I just starred at her for a few minutes, until something felt wrong. I wasn't breathing, I was holding my breath with out noticing it. Once I began to breath again a blink a few time to make sure what I was seeing was really in front of me. Jenny's eyes were white. White, they sparkled just like Mel's and Terry's, but her pupil looked different compared to hers. I was speechless, I thought they were beautiful yet eerie in a sense. I could see why she didn't like them because people would be do what I was doing. I shook my head and tried to focus on anything but Jenny's eyes.
"Wo-wow" was the only thing that I could say and was the only thing that came to mind at that moment.
"Yeah tell me about it. It took me 3 flipping months to be able to change my stupid eyes and guess what they only turned out a dull brown. It took me a few years to get the colour that these two (points to Terry and Mel) have here. Then they say "Oooh I don't feel like this colour anymore I'll change it to Jenny's" I swear I could have slapped them for that." She laughed as she thought of the times Mel and Terry got on her nerves over the years about her eye colour.
"So, I'll be able to to change my eyes back to the colour they once were?" I really wanted to have my own eye colour back not that I didn't like the colour they were now. I had grown fond of it over the years and I would feel like nothing really changed about me if I could have a small part of my old life back. But the more I thought about it I started to love my eyes as purple.
"You will be able to eventually, most likely you'll learn how to have complete control over your element first. And it all depends it took Jenny years to change her eyes, while it took me only a few months and Mel could do it with in weeks of her transformation." Terry said.
"And to answer your previous question about the other students wanting to stay away from us. We have a chameleon type of power. Where ever we go we can choose if we want to fit in, stand out or be invisible. For example if we wanted to stay hidden from some one we would go into a crowd of humans and they wouldn't look twice at us, unless we wanted them to. Or if we didn't want to deal with a crowd we would make ourselves stand out by sending a.... a vibe and the crowd would part like the red sea. Great for finding a parking space" Mel teased and winked at me.
"So you can blend into any type of social environment, change your eyes to fit in and have control over the elements. Wow, why does it seems like I'm talking to a group a super heroes?" I was giddy and I wasn't sure why, but I didn't mind it.
"Oh maybe because we are fabulous" Terry flipped her hair then bursted out laughing. We all started then just couldn't stop.
A few minutes later we were ready to leave. We went through a different route, instead of going up to the lake we walked further into the tunnels. The tunnel slowly inclined until we were at an opening of some cave. You would think we were at some amazon forest, because that was what the view would have told you to the untrained eye.
The sun was just rising and giving the clouds different hues of pinks, purples and reds. I was hypnotized by the breath taking site that I didn't notice Mel calling my name until Jenny smacked me up side the head.
"Hey wants with the need to smack me all of a sudden?" I asked her frustrate.
"Well if you were paying any kind of attention you would have heard Mel-Mel calling for you Bells" She laughed then ran away before I could reach her. I just shook my head from side to side and went to find out what Mel wanted me for.
"We were going to find out which element you have now. Unless you can't bare to tear your eyes off of this phenomenal view." She looked past me at the still rising sun off in the distance.
"'Thank you. At least some one agrees with me. How are you going to do that" I wondered how they were going to figure it out.

"Sooo, it looks like some one has quite a bit of power" Emmet commented.
"Emmet for the love of god you interrupt her one more time I swear to you. You will regret it you understand" Alice seethed
"Come on you can't be not impressed, BELLA, can piratically be the perfect assassin. Guys did you hear her she can change her flipping eye colour, you know how cool that is?" Emmet looked to them with bright eyes and surprisingly they all had bright eyes because they were just as excited. They just hid it better then he did.
"Could you show us?" Jasper asked.
"Oh okay if thats what you want. I can show you my natural eye colour if you like but you can choose a colour if you like." I hesitated as I looked at Jasper.
"I'm curious to see what your true eyes look like Bella, if you don't mind of course" Carlisle chimed in.
"Oh, um.... I wouldn't mind not at all" I smiled at him then closed, my eyes. "Unlike when I usually change my eye colour I have to focus on what colour I want them to be" I said to them with my eyes still closed. "But when I want them to go back to their 'normal' (I put up two quote signs) colour I just have to focus on my eyes and let go"
As I said that I opened my eyes and show the Cullen family my true eyes. I wasn't sure on what type of reaction I was going to receive but what I got definitely shocked me.
Every single one of them had their eyes piratically popping out of their heads. From sweet polite Esme to even Carlisle and Jasper. Everyone completely lost their composure, until I coughed, only then did Edward suddenly realize what they had all just done. He quickly beat Emmet and Jasper over the head with his hand.
"Umm.... Sorry about that." He lowered his eyes and gave a small crooked smile.
My heart swooned if that's possible.
"So what do you guys think?" I lifted one eyebrow and looked around the table. I couldn't resist the temptation to take a swift peek into their frazzled minds.
Wow thats the most beautiful colour I've ever seen. I wish I could have the ability to change my eyes to Rosalie
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY G-O-D! Think about all the outfits that she could switch her eyes to fit perfectly with. Oh and by the way Bella I KNOW you can hear me
Alice thought then winked at me. I quickly shifted minds.
Goodness gracious, what wonderful eyes. I've never seen anything like them. I wonder what her friends eyes looked like. hmmm
Esme
Those are amazing I wonder what her other talents are, I wonder if she really drinks from animals, but knowing Bella she probably does
Carlisle
Holy fucking shit. Her eyes just changed, shit that's HOT. WOW they really are pretty, they suite her, I wonder why she doesn't keep them that way........
Emmet
She must be able to lead quite a normal life with that kind of talent. I gotta wonder what else she can do though.
Jasper
Simply incredible
Edward
"Why don't you keep your eyes that colour all the time Bella? They really suite you and are very pretty"
Emmet, the teddy bear, said to me.
"Well as much as I love them I would always be gawked at and thats not something that I want anytime soon." I said with a small smile
"I know what you mean Bella, vampires and vampiresses are always starring at my scars" Jasper said kindly toward me.
"Alright, alright on with the story because I got an ass load of questions to ask you. So hurry up, but be as detailed as possible." Alice said
"Language Alice I won't tell you again" Esme said, Alice bowed her head and nodded.
"You do realize thats an oxymoron don't you Alice?" I laughed and continued.
x. Pause Resume of Flashback .x
They ran into the forest and I quickly lost site of them in the dense woods. I could hear them laughing and joking until they abrutedly stopped. I couldn't hear them breath or see where they were. I was suddenly worried about what was about to happen next.
"Alright Bella just do what comes natural alright" Mel said from somewhere to my right.
"Wait what do you mean? Comes naturally, what the heck is that supposed to mean? Guys where are you?" I asked a little frantically
"Bella I'm sorry but this is the only to find out what your power is please forgive us." Jenny said softly
"Wait? What?" I really confused I couldn't understand the situation at all.
Thats when I felt it, out of no where I got tackled to the ground I screamed out of shock but when I focused I heard feet retreatin, it sounded like Terry. What was going on? What was that? Why would she do that?
"Focus Bella" Terry's voice snapped me back to reality. "You have to focus and try to stop us, since we already know you have spirit try to find us using that okay? Close your eyes and look for our auras then you will be able to sense us coming at you."
"I'll try, but give me a sec okay?" I asked. No response
I took a few cleansing breaths and closed my eyes looking for their essences. At first it was like a burst of colour came into my minds eye, so bright my eyes popped open. What I saw freaked me out a bit, everything seemed to be in black and white, until I took a closer look and their colouring looked as if it was pitch black outside, while there were three trails of fairy dust going off in separate directions. I instantly knew that the shimmery red one was Jenny's, the sparkley white one was Mel's and that the glittering gray one was Terry's.
Next thing I know I see the source of the bright red dust approaching toward me, I take a small step to my left and grab hold of Jenny. I smile at her, through my head back and laugh out loud. I did it,the grin I felt spreading on my face was goofy but I didn't care. I hugged Jenny and jumped up and down, she started to laugh and jump around soon after.
"Good job Bells" Mel says from her heading spot.
"Okay Bella, know do that through your minds eye to find us and no breathing or you'll be able to find us through your nose."
"You bet I think I can do it" Still pumped up from my victory I snapped my eyes shut and focused on Mel's white aura. When I open my eyes again I could only see Mel's, but now I could feel it to, I asked to lift an arm, and I actually felt it on my own left arm. Astonished I quickly stopped breathing and began to follow the trail of white. She began to ran and my legs to took her pace, that until I pushed myself out of her influence. I slowed a jog and some how knew she was going to take a sharp right. If I climbed up to the tree tops and turn right now I would be directly above her. So I went with my hunch, scaling the nearest tree I pursued on treetop. Once I thought I was directly above her I dropped down and landed on her.
She squeeled as I came crashing down on her, I pinned then laughed.
"So how did I do?" I asked knowing full well that I caught her by complete surprise. I got up and offered my hand to her.
"Well, let me see you caught me by surprise, brought me down, kept me down and need I go on?" She asked with and eye brow raised as she accepted my hand.
"Great work Bell, now lets try and see if you can do that with your eyes closed." Terry challenged
"WHAT?!?!" I squeaked. Was she insane I would crash into a try or something.
"Come on try and have a little courage B." She said
"Terry courage and insane are two complete different things entirely." I retorted.
"Just try it woman" She cried out
"Fine, fine but when I tear down the forest in the process you better replace it quick." I muttered darkly
I closed my eyes, sought out her aura just as I did with Mel's but this time I allowed it to take me over. I began to mimic her stance and ran toward her. She was weaving through the trees and I could see through her eyes because my own were closed. She smiled and I mimicked her, I was gaining on her until she did a sudden left, because of where she was she had no problems but because of where I was I ran full tilt into a tree so thick I break through it and it hurt.
"Ooooowwww, that really hurt Terry." I whined I stayed where I was on the ground until I heard them approach me. I opened my eyes and saw the three of them trying to with hold their laughter. When they saw I was alright they exploded with laughter.
"Ha ha ha very funny tease the newbie why don't you." I said as I giggled and dusted the dirt off myself.
"Guess we're going to have to work on that now aren't we?" Jenny said through her laughter.
"Yup and then I'll get you while you least expect it Jenny" I smiled sweetly and she stopped laughing.
"Next on the agenda see as that took only 3 .... no2 hours lets see what your other powers are okay" Mel said as she looked at her watch for confirmation on the amount of time spent.
"Now what are you crazy ladies going to do to me?" I was more then a little nervous about bout what was about to happen next.
" OH MY GOD BELLA!" They screamed in unison
"WHAT?! WHAT?!" I looked around for danger and could find any
"You.... your eyes were just... just multi coloured. What the hell" Jenny spit out once she was over her shock.
"Ummm what?" I asked she whipped out her compact and they were going to try to test out any new powers, then I watched amazed as I got nervous and slightly frazzled about what they were going to do to me, my eye reflect the inner working of my mind.
"I think it shows I'm nervous guys." I said sheeply and looked down. Terry then stood in front of me to place a finger under my chin and force my head up and my eyes exposed to them.
"I guess your going to be quite the open book for a while, huh Bella" Mel joked from behind Terry's left shoulder as Jenny laughed and nodded in agreement with her.
"Looks like it" I smiled "Sooo.... Whats Next?"
"This !" Mel scream and then she threw a small water ball at me. I quickly dodged it and looked at her confused.
"And that was?" I asked
She only smiled and threw another, only it was harder to dodge and much faster. She continued until I couldn't dodge them anymore and began to get drench in water. That's when I got fed up of being wet, I threw up my hand to protect my face as I saw a very big and fast water ball coming toward me. It was going to hit my face any moment, or so I thought. As I waited for the impact to happen I heard Jenny and Terry gasp, I thought the water was taking a while to get to me so I peeked through my fingers. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the water ball had stopped in mid air a few inches from my raised hand. I looked over to Mel and saw huge smirk on her face.
"Are you doing this Melisa?" I whispered
"Nope" she shook as her head as her smile grew.
"Then, then am I doing this" I asked childishly
"Yup" She nodded then laughed.
I couldn't believe that I, Me Isabella Marie Swan was controlling water. For a few moments I just stood amazed and stared at the water ball. For the next hour I practiced shaping and calling water, by the second hour I could call it all by myself and even make it shimmer slightly.
Until a slight pressure was added to the ball's weight, I looked over to Mel and she shook her head. So I looked at Jenny and she just smiled as she snapped her fingers. and the water began to spin in circles.
"How do you do that Jenny?" I wondered if it was different from learning how to control water.
"I picture it tied in string and I pull with my mid the direction I wanted to go in." She responded
"Really, it sounds simple, but I bet it's not as easy as you make it seem."I said seriously
"oh you'd be surprised, I learned my element within a few weeks of birth while the others took years to completely control, but I had the whole eyes issue to deal with though." She smiled.
"Could I try it?" I looked at each of them to ask for permission.
"I don't see why not, what the hell go for it" Jenny exclaimed.
She then threw the ball up wards until it was just a speck in the sky (we were in a small valley with out trees and only flowers with a small pond). I closed my eyes and focused on nothing but the wind instead. I wanted to push it side ways. I was extremely when I felt a faint wind begin to blow I focused harder and the breeze was starting to build strength in to a strong wind. Unfortunately I couldn't support the ball's weight so it dropped to the ground, but I'm glad to say that is took its sweet time instead of plummeting toward it as it normally would have.
"So guess it looks like you will by need to be practicing alot over the next few month" Mel laughed as she finished.
"Oh you think that's funny do you, but who do you think is going to help me right Meli-"I was cut off by a blood curdling scream.
With in an instant I was gone, running toward the woman who screamed. I could faintly hear Terry, Jenny and Mel call for me from the distance, I ignored them completely. My sole purpose was to help the woman in danger, blood lust be damned. To my horrible surprise it wasn't a woman but a girl who looked to be just fourteen. My heart wept because she was badly injured and was surrounded by a forest fire. Before I could stop myself I jumped into the fire and rushed to find the girl before we both burned. It was so hot I was impressed she could still breath.
There was still a small patch of unburned grass and trees, she was there with her leg sticking in an unnatural position, her thigh bone was slightly exposed. When I got to her, she smiled through her tears, she kept thanking god and me. I lifted her in my arms, she felt so fragile, so weightless. It was so hot in there that she didn't seem to notice the temperature difference between us. When I looked about us I found that we were surrounded by solid walls of fire all around us. There was no small air pocket I could break through as I did to get in, I tried to fan the fire with the wind but that only made things worse. I heard the girls approach and they said that they were going to get me out. But they need a little time because of the fire's side they would have to really concentrate, so it would take a minute or two, but no more. I knew that this little girl wouldn't survive the minute even if I did.
I can't tell you what exactly happened, because all I remembered was that I wanted to save her with everything I could. I just plead for a away to save her life and all of a sudden the fire stopped, leaving only the after math. I looked to them awe, they did it they saved us, but what I saw on their faces were confusion, they were holding hands lined up a few feet away from where the fire's edge had been. Within i matter of milliseconds I was in front of them and the girl was breathing evenly though she was unconscious.
(a/n yes I know I'm fourteen too and though other people my age think that they are 'grown', but I beg to differ. I know I have a lot of growing up to do and I am still a little girl, but you know what I like it that way =])
"Guys that was amazing, I can't describe how grateful I am. Wow, Las señoras de los elementos are awe-"
"BELLA! Enough." Terry said as she started to run toward a hospital
"Why, you guys saved me of course I'm going to ramble" I laughed until I her saw expression.
We arrived at the hospital, and because we were in Canada, the reason why it took forever to get here, it was free. As we were checking her in I was solely focused on her safety and our conversation. With 20 minutes she was in surgery and we were back to talking.
"What is it? What wrong with you guys?" I asked
"It wasn't us who stopped the fire Bells" Mel whispered
"What do you mean 'It wasn't us' it could only be you, no one else was out tere with us out there in the woods, just us and the girl. I highly doubt that it was her who did it seeing she was knocked out by that point." I explained
"Meaning it could only be you stupid, we were in the middle of forging our powers together, if were only a few seconds later we would have done something but t wasn't us it was you Bella. You." Jenny said firmly with a warm smile
"But that couldn't have possibly be me I mean if I could have done that in the first place. I would have, so it must have been you." I said
"Because you were at first only concerned about getting to the and her safety. Once you were aware of your own safety was in danger your subconscious saved you because of your will to save the girl and your own life." Jenny said as she hugged me.
"So wait your saying that I did that, but that's .... that's just not possible guys. Out of all of us why is it why I can do all the infinitives. Why? I don't want all of this." I hugged myself and looked toward the waiting room.
Everyone was staring at us because they were probably trying to figure out why we looked like we were having a conversation, but they just couldn't hear it. (vampire hearing) Or they thought that we were incredibly beautiful.
"Bella, your blessed feel proud not frustrated with your powers. Honey we'll be here for to support you, through thick and thin. So don't worry so much about the details 'kay?" Terry said .
"Alright the child's surgery should be about done. Bella could you get a doctor a doctor to let us see her and find out how she's doing because we all know your dieing to find out." Jenny laughed at her small pun.
"Okay, while she does that, Jenny I think you should get the car, so we have something to look normal to the humans. I suggest that Terry should inform Nick whats going on here, Sounds good to everyone?" Mel asked.
We all nodded heads and were about to go off in our separate directions when Jenny asked.
"Then what are you going to do while we do that Mel?"
"Oh me, I'm going to go get us all a change of clothes seeing as we all smell of smoke and have have soot all over us." She smiled and pointed to her own shirt.
We all looked down and was mildly shocked that we didn't notice that early, but could you blame us. We all said we would call each other once they handed me my new phone and Mel told me they already had bought me an entire new wardrobe waiting for me at home so I had nothing to worry about.
It was then I noticed I didn't have any blood lust. I was in a hospital with gore and blood every where I looked and I felt nothing. I was happy, really happy. For something I was dreading was lifted from my shoulders. I never have to worry about being a monster who can't handle their urges...... at least I hoped.
Once I was over my elation of not having any blood lust what so ever I went in search of the girl's doctor.
After asking countless nurses and being hit on by random doctors I finally found some one who could help me. A young nurse named Monica. She was at the nurse's station and was about to leave it when I stopped her. Unlike most nurses who would have scowled before they saw me, she turned with a bright and weary smile.
"Hi, my name's Monica. What can I do for you?" She said to me.
"Well you see my sisters and I found a girl in the woods and brought her in to the ER. Now I've been trying to get some one to tell me where she is and how her surgery went but I keep getting the run-a-round. Could you please give me a straight answer." I knew I sounded desperate but at this point I was past caring.
"Oh your the one who brought in our Janey Doe. Do you know her name?" Monica asked
"You know where she is? How she's doing? And I'm sorry I don't know her name, but why Janey?" I asked
"When children are involved we use Janey and Joey insisted of Jane and Joe." Monica explained to me " She was asleep when they brought her but she should wake up any moment now you and your sisters can wait here or in her room. Please remember that she'll need her rest, she's been through a lot."
"Thank you, Thank you so much." I hugged her but quickly let go when she flinched away from my frigid skin.
"Oh Miss...." She started
"Call me Bella"
"Okay then, Bella could you please stay here until the police come. They have to ask you some questions concerning the girl. Her parents and what not. Lucky you came to me, because I was just about to go and search for you." With that she led me to the little girls room and told me to wait.
A few minutes passed and I texted messaged Terry, Jenny and Mel asking what was taking them so long. I also gave them the room number. Within a few moments they were all there and Mel had a change of clothes for me, which I thankfully took into the washroom to change into.
"Okay girls, the cars here, we are all changed, Nick's informed and the girl's safe. Bella what did the doc say?" Terry asked.
"Not much, it was actually a nurse who helped me out and I really want to know how to blend into a crowd. I don't like all the looks I keep getting." I said as I stroked the girl's cheek.
"No problemo Bells, we'll work on that next. For sure" Mel reassured me.
The next half hour was us going over what we would tell the police. We had to make sure this would just fly under the radar. We waited for her to wake up and talked about how much training and fun we would have over the next month. We planned to go out and just have fun not worrying about Nick and what he thought.
The thought of him still made me shudder. I wouldn't admit it to the girls but my heart was still in the firm hold of he -who -shall-not-be-named. I could see that the future wouldn't be easy for me and that depressed me a little, I knew that they would help to the best of their ability.

When she finally woke up from her sleep, all she did was stare at us. She looked from Terry, Mel, Jenny, myself then back again. It was the funnest thing, she seemed to be rendered silent by us, just how I was by them. After a few moments and a few comments by us to each other at vampire speed so she could hear us or see our lips move, we broke out laughing. We must have startled her because she jumped about a foot then started laughing herself. It sounded like light and warm.
"Umm.... thanks for ......uh saving me Miss......" She looked at me for my name.
"Bella, you can call me Bella." I said and smiled.
"Oh, I can't do that. I was raised in an old fashioned house hold. I would find it against my nature to call you just Bella. Even if your only a few years older I hold to much gratitude and respect toward you Miss Bella." She said with small smile.
"Hold on a minute just how old are you?" Jenny blurted out.
"Me? I turned 14 February 5th" She said
"Really only fourteen, by appearance I believe you, but by the way you speak I was thinking much older" Mel said
"Why thank you I find that a huge compliment, seeing how my friends laugh about how small I am" She said.
"Sorry but we don't know your name" Terry asked the question that I knew we were all dieing to ask.
"Antya" she said
"Untia?" Jenny tried. Antya laughed and shook her head
"No it Ann-tie-ya but people call me tye or tya for short." she responded. "I don't mean to be rude but what are names?"
"Your such a sweety, my names Melisa or Mel. That's Terisa, Terry for short and Jennifer." Mel said
"So I'm guessing you all call her Jenny, correct?" Tya asked.
"Bright kid." Jenny replied.
"Thanks." she seemed to be coming out of her shell.
What happened next shocked us, she went from having a smile to looking lost. We looked to her and each other to figure out what had happened to trigger this effect on her. Terry went to put a comforting arm around her and she seemed to calm down a bit bbut she still had that look in her eyes that she was searching for something.
"What's wrong Tye?" Mel asked
"Where's my mum? My grandma, why aren't they here? They should have been notified by the hospital already.
"Tya what do you remember happened?" Jenny asked gentily
" I was out by Erindale park. My aunt died this morning and I ran off with my bike and cell. I call my mum to let her know I was alright and that I just need time. I locked by bike and crossed the ice cold river, I was freezing so I built a small fire and stripped to my jeans and t-shirt. I hung my sweater, scarf, coat and hat above it high enough so it wouldn't catch fire but low enough so it would dry." She had to stop to catch her breath and wipe away her tears for the loss of her aunt. It made my ache heart to see some one go from being so cheerful to heart broken within minutes.
"Sorry 'bout that, hhhhhhhh(breaths out) so I was waiting for everything to dry, when I got bored. I started climbing trees. Everything was going fine until I heard a strange growl. I had no idea what it was so I stayed where I was in the tree and searched the ground below. I was shocked to see that it was a wolf." She stopped, I couldn't understand why until I was their faces. The girls were so engrossed in her story it was to funny.
"Awww, sorry I stopped again" Tya said
"Go on! Go on, what happened next? You saw the wolf then. Then?!" Mel urged.
"Guys," I looked at them then added at a faster pace " With that look she'll never finish your too intense."
Once they composed themselves Tye started her story for a third time.
"The wolf was getting closer to the fire for it heat, I guess. I thought it was going to walk right through it so I threw a branch near it, but because of my horrible hit the branch my scarf was on and knocked it in the fire. Looking in hind sight now that wasn't the brightest thing for me to do seeing how the wolf figured out where I was. I squealed as it ran to my tree, I tried to free another branch to beat it with. I don't know how long I was like that for, but it fell asleep below me so I climbed over to the neighboring tree and climbed down. I got to my cell to check the time but it was dead. Frustrated I went over to the fire, momentarily forgetting about the wolf until I heard it growl behind me. I swear I've never been that scared in my entire life, I honestly thought that was the end of me especially with the fire. But anyways, the only thing I could think of was "Oh Shit", I ran to the fire and jumped over it hearing its own foot steps behind me. With out thinkings I pick up a branch with fire one it and waved it in front of me. The wolf began to circle me and I never took my eyes off it. It lunged for me and I swung. Luckily I hit it, but the force tumbled us downward and I screamed as we rolled and then rolled down a hill. I beat it with my branch and it went of running. I started climbing, back up to my make shift hobo stand – she smiled at this- when I lost my footing and this happened." She waved her hand toward her right thigh wrapped in a plaster cast. "I continued to climb after cause I needed to get to my clothes to stop the blood flow. Once I tied my sweater around my leg I realized I was trapped. I broke down, I didn't want to die, not there all alone. Then you found me, and I passed out I woke up here with you guys."
Tye smiled and reached toward me, I went closer and was surprised when she engulfed me in a hug. She didn't seem to mind that I was cold. I hugged her back, careful not to damage any further. She smiled then did the same to Mel, Jenny and Terry. It seemed to me that there was a secret to her smile, and I shared a look with Mel, she must have noticed it to.
"Could you guys call my mum and grandma please. I know that these people don't have my health cared cause I don't usually have it on me." She asked shyly
"Sure no problem you can use my phone." Terry tossed Tya her her phone and she dialed.
* Ringing, Ringing *
"Hello mum?" she started
"ANTYA, BABY WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU SCARED US. First your my sister then you? Honey you can't do this to us." her mum fell silent sobbing into the phone. Tye's eyes were shiny with unshed tears Terry rubbed her arm as she took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, but your never going to believe what I'm going to tell you." she whispered
"Try me...." her mom said wearily
"I'm in the hospital and in a cast." Tye said
"WHAT?! Baby which hospital?" her mom sound as she was talking to someone else and moving.
"Elliott General, where's auntie's at"
