Firstly, I should probably explain something-- I wrote a trailer-style piece for this story, and shoved it in at the beginning, so now all the reviews and stuff are messed up, and everything is in the wrong place, which is annoying. Meh.

Oh, and I'd like to say thanks! 12 reviews for the last chapter! Yay! I felt so loved. Glad you liked the Carlisle thing.

I'm also going to make one of the other characters in the saga an angel. Can you guess who? Dedications to whoever does!

Angelic—Destinee's Rebellion.

Even if Devyne had promised him to stay away her project, Destinee hadn't. And she wouldn't. She always had been stubborn.

She fully intended to ignore Payn's warnings, too. He always had been prone to overreaction. Besides which, he was overly protective of Devyne… More than was necessary, really. Only Destinee knew the motivation behind that. She knew that they would be together—she'd known it from the start.

Glancing over her shoulder, she checked her back. On the off chance that Payn had decided to pay them a visit. Unlikely, she knew—but still. She was clear.

Immersing herself entirely in the destinies of both Edward and Bella, she became entirely unaware of what was around her physical body. Her mind was far away—in Forks, WA, to be precise.

She watched Bella, invisible, as she went about her daily business. It was Destinee who planted the dreams of Edward Cullen into the unsuspecting human's mind.

But there was nothing she could do about some of Bella's thoughts—the girl had an unusually strong mind, after all. The angels could only access it fully when her defences were lowered—in other words, when Bella was fully asleep.

So she could not do anything about the thoughts that flowed through Bella's head for most of the day—though she could hear them clearly.

He wishes he had left me to die. I knew he hated me. He wants me dead.

Destinee scowled, listening to Bella's current thoughts. They were worse than usual. And worst of all, their destiny was slipping.

It was funny, the way her gift worked.

Ninety percent of the time, she was entirely accurate, the visions practically set in stone. But, if a particularly strong mind happened to be involved, then sometimes things went wrong.

Bella's mind was unusually strong. And so was Edward's.

Destinee was doing everything in her power to keep the two of them on relatively good terms. But Edward—who by now had seen the vision from his psychic sister, and was doing everything he could to change it—was stubborn. Annoyingly so. And they were slipping through her fingers,

If Devyne had not promised Payn…

No, there had to be some other way. Some way of triggering something in Edward…

It took weeks in mortal time, but it finally came to her.

Jealousy.

Michael Newton had already positioned himself rather nicely in the optimum position to annoy Edward over something like this. As had Tyler Crowley, and Eric Yorkie, conveniently enough.

All she had to do was set the ball rolling…

She mapped out her plan. It was annoyingly obscure, but it would work. She knew.

Taking a deep breath, she transferred her consciousness into that of Jessica Stanley. She had control of the weak, human girl in a moment.

Making her way through the parking lot, she spotted him. Mike Newton. Destinee smiled to herself, and walked purposefully over. This was easy.

"Hey, Mike."

The boy turned at the sound of her uncertain tone, a look of surprise on his face,

"Um, Hey, Jessica."

"I was…sort of wondering… You know the Spring Dance? Uh… would you go with me?"

The expression on Newton's face was priceless.

"I… uh… I mean… Bel—" He stopped abruptly, seemed to re-think what he had been going to say, and came up with something a little kinder.

"Thanks, Jessica, for asking… I'll let you know, yeah?"

Destinee twisted the girls features into a slight pout, and only allowed herself a victorious smile when Mike had left. Of course, by that time, she had vacated the girl's petty mind, and was back in her natural form.

She only allowed Mike Newton to find Bella when they reached Biology. Edward was already sitting there, ignoring Bella as much as the burn in his throat allowed. Convenient of him, really.

Destinee changed into the human form that she and her sisters had created specifically for this task. Whenever they needed to spy on the unsuspecting human of vampire, they would change into the girl—who did not actually exist, unlike their other 'forms'—and could keep a better eye on the situation. She sat down at her desk—the one directly behind Edward and Bella, and listened in to the conversation that Michael Newton was now staging.

He was very nervous. Destinee stifled a laugh.

"So. Jessica asked me to the spring dance." Not that she isn't hot, or anything, but she's no Bella… Mike's thoughts amused the angel as much as his words did.

Bella was thinking mutinous thoughts, though her tone was polite enough when she replied, "That's great. You'll have a lot of fun with Jessica."

Not as much fun as I could have with you, Bells… in fact, we could just ditch the dance altogether, eh? Just you and me… my house…

Edward's face was priceless.

"Well… I told her I had to think about it."

Bella was annoyed, now, and she let some of that colour her tone. "Why would you do that?"

Edward was so confused now that he was angry, fists clenched as they rested on the desk. But this new emotion also bewildered him… he wasn't used to jealousy.

"I was wondering if… well, if you might be planning to ask me."

Edward's mind went crazy, his thoughts flashing through some improvised version of Bella's future. Destinee sent a steady stream of jealousy at him, wondering how much it would take, before he cracked completely.

"Mike, I think you should tell her yes."

"Did you already ask someone?" Damn. I bet she's going with the freak over there.

"No." Bella quickly corrected him, "I'm not going to the dance at all."

Destinee sent thoughts of human males into the Vampires mind. His 'rivals'. She smiled as she watched him considering them, weighing their merits. None of them good enough for her, in his opinion, of course.

"Why not?"

Wow, that Newton kid was annoying. Destinee had never before realised it. She scowled at him.

Bella quickly thought up an excuse. "I'm…going to Seattle that Saturday."

"Can't you go some other weekend?"

"Sorry, no." She was harsher now, trying to get rid of him. "So you shouldn't make Jess wait any longer—it's rude."

"Yeah, you're right."

Both of the male's thoughts were almost exactly the same. I wonder if there's someone else.

But Mike turned away, and her job was done, Edward was back on track, and they were headed towards their original destiny once more.

Oh yes, Destinee could see why Devyne was so engrossed in this project. It truly was fascinating…
