A/N: Hey guys, so I know that this chapter is almost a week late, but I was really busy this week and I still am. We are getting ready for a dance competition that we have coming up and so classes are longer and more intense. Because of that, I don't know when I will be able to update again. I'm trying to write the next chapter and have it up by Saturday, but I've run out of pre-written chapters and it takes a lot of time and effort to write some of them. Besides dancing, I also babysit for a family friend so that is taking up a couple of hours each day so I hope that you guys understand why I'm having a hard time updating right now. I really don't want to stop writing this story and my workload should decrease in a couple of weeks, but until then updates will be further spread out and so I really do hope that you guys will stick with this story and hang in there because updates will eventually become every day or every other day again. I know this Authors note was really long and basically just me babbling so now on with the story!


"Okay. What I'm saying is that, according to my contacts and sources, you are neither human nor vampire. You are an elemental."

"I'm a what?!"

"An elemental," Carlisle explained calmly. "Every few years an elemental is born but they usually never develop powers. Which is why you are so special. We," he gestured to Esme and himself, "believe that when you were… taken, they did something that unlocked your powers."

"So I'm still human?" I asked quietly, but their super senses still picked it up.

"Technically you are part human, part vampire."

"So I'm like you guys?" I looked around the room.

"Almost." This time, Edward answered.

I thought silently about that for a minute but I was suddenly shaken from my thoughts by Alice's voice.

"ELIZABETH!"

I looked up and saw that there was ice creeping up the side of the wall.

"Sorry," I looked down and I felt Jasper use his powers to relax the whole room.

The ice slowly retreated down the wall and Alice stood up before walking over and sitting down beside me.

"Sorry," I mumbled again leaning into her shoulder.

"It's nothing to be sorry for," Alice replied brushing my hair away from my face.

"Mm-mm" I mumbled into her shirt and I heard her chuckle lightly. "Tired?"

I nodded.

She laughed again. "Go to sleep. We'll sill be here when you wake up."

I shut my eyes but no matter how I tried I couldn't fall asleep.

My breathing was really fast and I don't know why but I was terrified to fall asleep.

I opened my eyes again in time to see Edward shoot Alice a look.

Alice glanced down at me and ran her fingers through my hair before looking at Jasper.

A second later I felt a thick fog envelop my mind and I welcomed it.


When I woke up my first thought was that I felt really cold, but it wasn't a bad cold.

My second was that I was cuddled up in a pair of strong arms.

I slowly open my eyes and looked up to see Edward silently laughing at something that my dad had said.

I took a deep breath before sitting up and leaning back against the side of the couch.

"Look who's awake," Edward smiled as he teased me.

"What time is it?" I asked ignoring his teasing as I looked up into his melted butterscotch eyes.

Edward looked at the clock on the wall for a second before looking back down. "It's 5:32 in the morning."

"What day?" I asked not knowing how long I had slept for this time.

"It's Tuesday," he replied with a little hesitation, "You slept for a little less than a day."

"I need to get ready for school then," I said trying to stand up.

"No, you don't," Edward said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me back down.

"Let go of me, Edward," I said trying to stay calm to prevent from freezing something. I could only assume that strong feelings would trigger it like before I fell asleep.

"Not until you say you are not going to school."

"I am going. My friends are worried by now and I'm missing all my lessons. I'm not as smart as all of you. I haven't taken these courses over and over before. I need to go," I argued with him, scowling up at him.

"You'll make a mistake and expose yourself. Also, we don't know if you are still ill. You very well could end up fainting in class." He had a point there, but…

"Is everyone else going to school?"

He followed my thoughts before answering reluctantly. "Yes."

"Then you and everyone else can watch me. Alice will know if something is going to go wrong and you can pull me out of school. Tell the nurse that I'm not feeling well."

"Fine" -Edward literally looked like he was in pain as he said this- "if you get Alice to agree."

I climbed off the couch sending a small, grateful smile at Edward before setting out to find Alice.

I wandered around for a minute before Alice jumped off a tree and onto the porch. "Looking for me?"

"Can I?" I asked knowing that she already knew my question.

"It really isn't a good idea, but if you're extra careful and let us take you to all of your classes then I guess."

"Yay!" I smiled and hugged her before running up to my room.

I quickly darted into the bathroom and ran a warm shower. I roughly ran a comb through my hair before hopping into the shower.

As soon as my skin came in contact with the water I felt like I was being burned and I quickly jumped out as I made an effort not to scream in pain.

I'm pretty sure that the water in this house isn't supposed to get anywhere near that hot.

I quickly turned the hot water off completely and let the water run cold before cautiously stepping back in. The water wasn't cold. It was exactly the right temperature.

I quickly showered and washed my hair with strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner fearing that the water would start to feel colder. But it never did.

I stepped out of the shower and dried off with a fluffy towel before brushing out my hair again and towel drying it slightly.

I stepped into my room and strode over to the closet before pulling out a pair of white leggings, a blue spaghetti strap tank top, and a light blue lace dress before clumsily throwing on the outfit and doing a simple french braid in my still damp hair.

I slid on a pair of black flats before exiting my room.

I was about to go downstairs when Emmett came out of his room and smiled at me.

"You look like Elsa," he said with a teasing smile on his face and a glint in his eyes.

I stuck my tongue out at him before starting down the stairs.

"Rosalie is looking for you," he called after me, suppressed laughter in his voice.

I found Rose in the family room laying on the couch reading some philosophy book in what looked like french.

"Rose?" I asked as I sat down beside her and she looked up already knowing that I was there.

"Here," she tossed me a pair of skin colored gloves that I made a face at. "Alice found them and said that you had to wear them to school if you wanted to go."

"You have to be kidding," I complained as I pulled on the gloves. They scratched at my skin and were uncomfortable.

I made another face and Rosalie laughed at me before returning to her book.

I sighed before walking into the kitchen and grabbing a red apple out of the fruit bowl.

I poured a cup of water while I was eating my apple and after looking around to see if anyone was watching me I threw half of the apple away and pulled off the gloves.

I sat down at the table before putting my hands over the top of the glass cup.

I concentrated on trying to make the water freeze but nothing happened and after a few minutes I gave up and sighed in defeat.

This was NOT going to be easy. But then again nothing in my life really ever was.

I sighed again in irritation and ice started to creep up the inside of the cup. Yes!

I concentrated on trying to make the ice go away and it stopped moving before receding down the cup as I relaxed.

I quickly drank the now extremely cold and slightly frozen water before glancing at the clock. It was three minutes before we needed to leave.

I stood up and pushed in my chair and put the itchy gloves back on before heading out to the garage. I leaned against the back door and waited for my siblings.

I wasn't waiting long before everyone came out and we all climbed into Edward's Volvo.

Edward hit a button on the top of the car and the garage opened. I groaned.

"Are you seriously going to drive like a maniac on ice?"

Everyone just laughed at me and I hid my face in my hands.

"Come on Elsa, you're not afraid of a little ice are you?" Emmett teased from beside me gently bumping in the shoulder.

"Shut up." I glared at him. He only laughed harder.

Much to my chagrin, Edward drove as he normally did and completely ignored the ice.

We made it to school in what seemed like record time and I quickly jumped out of the car.

My siblings followed my lead still laughing and I sighed.

"Do I really have to wear these?" I asked holding my gloved hands in Alice's face.

"Yes," she replied smiling sympathetically at me before grabbing my hands and placing them down at my side while still holding onto them.

I groaned and Edward chuckled before Alice suddenly froze.

Edward disappeared and seconds later I heard a screeching noise. I looked up in time to see a van spin crazily towards Bella's truck.

Then suddenly the van hit the truck and spun out of control towards Bella.

A loud metal on metal thudding noise assaulted my ears and I started to panic. Was Bella okay? Was whoever was in the van okay?

I didn't realize what was happening until I felt Alice's hand on my shoulder.

"Calm down. They're both fine, Edward saved Bella," she soothed as she ran her hand up and down my arm in a comforting manner.

I slowly relaxed and looked down in time to see ice melt off the tires of Edward's car.

"Sorry," I mumbled as I leaned into her chest.

"It's okay," She whispered back before hugging me tightly.


My family had insisted that I go home after the almost very fatal for Bella accident but I had refused and so they had taken me with them to go see Edward at the hospital instead. Which was where we currently were.

I was leaning against dad as Edward and Rosalie argued.

"What were you thinking!?" Rose demanded her voice holding a venom that she usually didn't use when she spoke to any member of her family.

"I-"

"What about all the kids that saw it happen?!" Rosalie cut Edward off.

"What was I supposed to do I couldn't let her die!" Edward shot back finally fed up with Rosalie's monolog.

"This isn't just about you, it's about all of us," Rosalie said her voice ever so slightly calmer than before.

"I think we should take this in my office. Rosalie, Elizabeth." Carlisle suddenly interjected and I looked up to see Bella watching us.

I allowed Rosalie to grab my still gloved hand and lead me into Carlisle's office with dad following right behind us.

Once we were in my dad's office I threw myself down on the couch and waited for Edward.

Eventually, Edward showed up again looking annoyed and they resumed arguing while dad went to go check on a patient.

"Why do you care if she dies?!" I tuned back into the conversation and looked up to see my brother's reply.

"I.. Um.. I don't know but I do!" Edward threw his hands up before leaving the office slamming the door behind him.

Rosalie looked like she wanted to be alone so I quickly followed Edward out of the office and started aimlessly wandering the halls of the hospital.

Everything smelled of antiseptic and it was terrible. The smell stung my nose, which I know that it is strange that I can't handle it with my dad being a doctor.

I managed to take the smell for about five minutes before I went outside for fresh air.

Outside Bella was standing beside a police cruiser as her dad, the chief of police, talked with someone on the phone.

Sighing I quickly walked towards her. This girl was slowly tearing my family apart and I wanted to see what was so special about her.

"Hi!" I put on a small smile as I approached her.

She turned around before smiling as well.

"Hello," she looked thoughtful for a minute before she asked, "You're Edward's sister right?"

"Yeah, that's me. And your the infamous Bella Swan," I replied wondering where she was going with this conversation.

"Mmm," she smiled, "If you don't mind me asking what were you guys arguing about back there?"

"It's fine and I would tell you except for I have a bad habit of tuning out my siblings when they're arguing." At least part of that was true I usually did tune them out like in the office but I knew exactly what they were arguing about.

"Oh ok, I don't think that I know your name, though."

"Elizabeth."

"Nice to meet you, Elizabeth," She held her hand out for me to shake

"Nice to meet you as well Bella," I smiled and shook her hand and was instantly glad that she couldn't tell that I was wearing gloves.

"How are you liking Forks so far?" I asked trying to keep the conversation going casually.

"It's really pretty. But also wet and rainy."

"It's supposed to be sunny this weekend so I was going to go down to Port Angeles. Want to come?" I offered.

"Um, sure."

"Okay. Will your car be okay to drive by then or do you want one of my siblings to drive us?"

"My truck will be okay, do you want to meet somewhere or…" she said a little too quickly before trailing off.

"Our house is really out of the way so we can meet at the diner if you want," I replied. Plus, I'm pretty sure Rosalie would kill me if I brought a human to our house.

"Okay sounds good." We quickly traded phone numbers before Bella's dad got off the phone and they drove away.

I went back towards the hospital before changing my mind and sitting down on a bench under the awning instead.

I waited for about ten minutes before my family came outside and we went home.


The rest of the night was uneventful until it was nine-thirty and I was getting ready for bed.

I had finally taken off the horrific gloves and had changed into my pajamas after washing my face and rubbing in a moisturizer.

I couldn't fall asleep and twisted and turned for hours before I finally drifted off to sleep. But now I desperately wish that I had stayed awake.


As I said before I hope to have this chapter up Saturday or Sunday and I would really love it if you followed, favorited, and reviewed. Please tell me what I'm doing right and what I should change. Thanks for reading!
