I am ssssoooooo sorry that it took me like forever to put up this chapter. It's just that it was actually kind of hard coming up with the beginning and middle part. I already knew how I wanted it to end, but before it can end it had to start somewhere(if that makes sense). So I am sorry.
OK, just to let you know i got all of the family history part from Charmed, which most of you would have figured out anyways by the name I used when i do talk about the family history. Another heads up(i 4got 2 mention this in the pervous chapter)I don't really like Jacob so much he's really annoying to me so I don't know if u I'll be mentioning him in any more chapter, unless you guys want me to because if you do then i guess i can just suck it up and mention Jake in some more chapter, so let me know.
Also, thanks for all the reviews so far. I really, really apperciate them.

5. They aren't Human
There was nothing out of the ordinary in my dream…..in the beginning. It was just how it always is in school with all the staring and glaring and strange vibes, but as my dream went on it started to get more and more weird.
It was me and Edward in some dark room place, but not that dark because we could still see each other and I wasn't really sure where we were at, and we were just talking. Sitting on the floor and talking.
"Let's just say they aren't……they aren't who the claim to be", I remembered Jake telling me.
Then I looked into Edward's topaz eyes with as much intensity as I could manage and asked him, "Who are you Edward Cullen?"
He stared back with just as much intensity, but like always it didn't last long. He looked away staring into the nothingness and I just kept looking at him. It was silent until I finally broke it.
"You know you can trust me, don't you?" I asked and not only to help him say what I know he wanted to say so very badly, but because it was true.
For some reason I was able to trust him and I felt like he should feel the same with me. I don't what it is, but every time I opened my mouth I would always say too much. I told him everything about me, including me being a witch and I did trust him with that. I also trusted being around him because here we are in some dark room place with me asking who exactly he is and him obviously hiding something.
He eventually looked back at me again, but it wasn't the same Edward that I was just with a second ago.
This Edward had crazy red eyes, bluish purplish lips, and even paler skin than usual-if possible. He also had this look on his face that I've never seen before. Then he opened his mouth and everything happened so quickly and the next thing I know I'm sitting up in my bed covered in sweat, panting.
I looked over to my clock and saw that it was 8:35am.
"Ugh!" I moaned lying back down.
I lay down just staring up at the ceiling, thinking. I was thinking about every single detail of my dream. Thinking of what Jake had said the night before. Thinking about the Cullens, and most importantly, thinking about who they really are.
After a few minutes of staring at my ceiling, I finally realized that I was probably just combining the Cullens and the vampire movie I saw the night before with Jake. After a while I made a move and looked at the clock again, it was 9:10. So I finally got up, brushed my teeth, and took a shower. When I got out I decided to just put some fresh pajamas because I knew I wasn't going anywhere because it was Sunday and Sunday was relaxing/have some fun with magic day.
I went downstairs and saw Charlie eating a bowl of cereal and I decided to join him, grabbing and filling up the bowl with cereal and milk and getting a spoon. I sat down next to him and ate in mostly silence until he finally said something.
"I'm going to go fishing today with Harry", he said going to the sink washing out his bowl and spoon.
"Harry?" I asked. The name sounded so familiar.
"Yea, Harry Clearwater", he said.
The name only sounded familiar and that's it. I don't remember what he looked like, so I continued to eat my cereal and just nodded, but since he's back was turned to me he thought that I was just being quiet, probably not wanting him to go.
"Unless you don't want me to go. I can always stay Bells", he said turning back to look at me.
"No its okay dad, you should go. I'm just going to be hanging around the house watching TV and just being bored", I said.
"Alright", he said walking over to a closet where he kept his fishing pole.
"See ya later Bells", he said walking to the front door.
"Yea, you too dad", I said.
He left the house, got in his car and pulled off and before I knew it I was home alone. I got up and went to my room, feeling to lazy to orb, and sat on the edge of my bed.
I debated with myself of what I should do. I could just sit around all day doing nothing, or I could watch TV and eat ice cream, or I could call Jake so we can hang out, or I could even orb to Phoenix and see how my mom is doing.
I ended up doing neither. I was sitting around doing nothing, but that didn't last long because I got very bored. I did watch TV, but only like about an hour or two because after all there's only, but so much TV one person can take and I'm really not a TV person and plus when I do watch TV I love to eat ice cream and it was really cold, both, outside and inside the house. I did call Jake, but he wasn't home. Billy told me that he was out taking care of some 'business', which basically meant that he was out somewhere running on all fours. I did want to visit my mom, but I could sense that Phil was there and my mom didn't really like me orbing all willy nilly around-or in this case 'to'-the house. I did once when she finally told Phil that we were witches and he almost had a heart attack. I just settled on emailing her.
I should probably explain what sensing is. You see when you can orb you can also sense. Before you orb to a place you could sense if anyone is there or around the place you want to orb. If there are people there you should wait a while before you orb because let's say you do orb and people are around you, then that isn't good because you have just expose the magical world to mortals-people who aren't magical-and that is a seriously big rule with the Elders that you cannot break. Lucky for me I haven't been stupid enough to break that rule. I used to always say that to my mom every time she will tell about the Elders biggest rule not to break and she will always add, "yea…..not yet", under her breath, but loud enough for me to hear.
Breaking the Elders rules is something you don't want to do. The consequences on breaking the rules can vary depending on who you are and when I say who you are I mean witches, white lighters, fairies, etc. I didn't know very much about the other magical creatures, I just only knew about witches……barely. I think they take you to trial-or something like that-and debate on whether or not you should keep your powers, get them suspended for a certain amount of time, or just get it taken away completely.
Getting your powers suspended for a certain amount of time and getting it taken away completely are the same, but still very, very different.
When you get your powers suspended you don't get it back until the Elders think you earned them, but you could still do basic magic like making potions and saying spells. When you get your powers taken away for good you can't say any spells or make potions and it just sucks.
That's when it hit me.
"Potions", I whispered and snapped at the same time. I realized that I haven't been doing any potions since I left Phoenix.
I looked around my room to see if I could find my magic book, but with no luck. Every since I said that little spell to unpack my clothes and everything else I've been having to call everything to me and it will orb in my hands.
I eventually gave up, sat in the middle of my bed crossed legged, held out both my hands, and called for my magic book, "magic book", and with that the big book was in my hands. I set it down in front of me, opened it, and started flipping through the book seeing if there was something in here that I haven't tried yet.
This book is really old it has been in my family for generations. Most of the pages were brown and they looked like they were going to fall out at any moment, but they were very much in tacked. I love the Magic Book-that's actually the name of the book too, how cliché?-because it was filled with tons of different spells and potions and I was always up to learning a new spell. I didn't really care too much for potions, but it does come in handy every once and a while.
Renee finally gave me the book the morning of the day I came to Forks. I was so happy. I remember all the times I would sneak into the hiding spot she always kept it and write down some spells that I may need and some recipes for potions, which was useless because I couldn't find any of the ingredients around the house, but me and Renee did do some potions together. She also gave me all ingredients that I'm going need for the potions.
I flipped through the book kind of bored because I've done most of these spells and potions.
"Love spell or potion?" I asked myself trying to decide what to do, "Not that desperate." I continued to flip through the book.
"Apology spell or potion? Don't really need it………at least not now." I flipped the page.
"Make you smarter spell or potion? Don't think so." I flipped a few more pages.
"Truth spell?" I asked with my eyebrows raised and with interest. "A definite possibility", I added then continued to flip more and more pages until I was at the back of the book. In the back of the book were different family histories of the most important and powerful witches there are and other creatures to. It went in order from least powerful family to most powerful family. My family history was in here.
I remembered when Renee used to read our family history to me when I was younger as a bedtime story. I read it again even though I pretty much know the story by heart.
The Higgenbothams
The Higgenbothams are one the most powerful family of witches.
It started with the witch Melinda Higgenbotham, who was born on October 31, 1670 in Virginia.
She later moved to Salem, Massachusetts and bore a daughter named Renee.
Melinda was later betrayed by her boyfriend and burned at the stake during the Salem witch trials in 1679.
She could have escaped, but didn't in the fear of exposing her daughter, Renee, as a witch.
When Melinda's boyfriend visited her in prison, she cursed him and vowed that each generation of Higgenbothams will be much stronger and powerful than the next.
So from there on out every generation of witch in the Higgenbotham family has become stronger and more powerful than the next just as Melinda vowed, creating the powerful Higgenbotham witch prophecy.
The Higgenbothams are also well-known in the magical community as being powerful and nice, from magical creatures that come in contact with them.
Their family history will live with us forever and will be passed on from generation to next by every magical creature in the magical community.
When I was done reading it I just smiled. It wasn't a very long passage about my family history, but it didn't need to be because it said enough. I flipped the page and saw that the Elders were next, which meant that they were the most powerful. I never really did bother to read it had said about the elders and truth be told I never really did care, so I just closed the book and slid it underneath my bed-yea I know it's not the greatest hiding spot, but the only other person in this house was Charlie and he hardly ever comes in my room and when he do come in my room he always knock first.
I went downstairs and decided to make dinner, since it was getting close to dinner time and Charlie should be home in a few. I didn't know what to cook first, but then I ended up deciding on chicken parmesan.
When I was done, right on cue, Charlie walked in the house taking a deep breath.
"Wow, Bells. Something smells good", he said putting the fish he caught in the sink.
"Chicken parmesan", I said setting down two plates on the table.
He sat down and started to dig in and so did I. At first we ate in silence, but then after a while conversations began to flow easily. We talked about random things in the beginning, then moved on to him and Harry and their fishing trip, and then back to random things. After dinner we watched TV for a bit until Charlie called it a night, realizing that he had to work tomorrow and I had school.
I laid down in my bed until I finally fell to sleep.
When the buzzer went off from my alarm clock I, surprisingly, was wide awake. So I got up brushed my teeth and took shower. When I got out I decided that today I was going to be comfortable.
So I put on my tight, but still kind of loose fitting jeans, a white t-shirt that said a company's name on the front and a picture of the company on the back, a black jacket, and some light brown ugg boots. Then I threw my long, mahogany colored hair in a messy bun.
When I looked at the time, I saw that I was running a little bit late. So I grabbed my keys from off my desk, ran downstairs, grabbed a granola bar, got in my truck, and headed to school.
When I finally got to school I looked at my cell phone and it said that I had three minutes until the bell ring. So instead of walking around the school looking lost or bumping into someone that I didn't want to talk to I just stayed in my truck and ate my granola bar. When I was done I got my bookbag from the back seat and jumped of out my truck and as soon as my feet hit the ground the bell rang.
My morning went ridiculously slow and with each passing minute and I was beginning to get a headache. So I put my head down on the table and people would not leave me alone. They kept on asking me if I was ok and I was. It was just a small headache and usually when I get small headaches like this it just goes away in a minute, but this one didn't look like it was going to go anywhere for a while.
After two classes it was finally lunch time, which was a good and bad thing. Good because my headache is probably just a hunger headache and I probably just need something to eat. Bad because the cafeteria is filled with nonstop talking, which will only add to my headache.
When I got to the cafeteria I just got me a bag of chips and a lemonade. I sat with Ben, Mike, Jessica, Lauren, Angela, and Eric-the usual people I sat with at lunch. I didn't eat much of my chips and I only took a sip of my lemonade-I wasn't really hungry, so I guess my headache isn't from hunger. I pushed my lemonade and chips aside and just put my head down in my arms on the cafeteria table.
"Are you okay Bella?" Ben asked.
I sighed because I was really sick of people asking me that question, but I answered him anyway.
"Yea, I'm fine", I mumbled from my arms.
Then Mike sat down at the table. I knew it was him because when that person sat down they laid a hand of my shoulder then I asked that same question everyone else asked.
"Bella, are you okay?" Mike asked.
"I've had enough", I whispered to myself.
I lifted my head up and gave Mike a small smile. He smiled back and let go of my shoulder, but was still looking at me waiting for me to answer his question.
I flicked all ten of my fingers outward and with that the whole lunchroom froze. Everything and everyone in or near the cafeteria froze.
I looked around examining everyone and everything. Every since I've gotten this power I've been more observant of my surroundings. Renee told me that after I freeze everything I need to look around and remember what I see because if I freeze someone next to something and that something change then that means that, that someone isn't human because all humans freeze.
It was going to be impossible to remember every single thing in this cafeteria and how it's positioned. So I just glanced at a few tables and the Cullens being one of them. I did notice that at the Cullen's table a bottle cap was in the air for some reason. After my glances I put my head back into my arms on the table.
Then I got this vibe. I couldn't really explain it, but it was like someone was yelling at me to turn around and so I did. I took a few glances around the cafeteria again and nothing changed. I looked at the Cullen's table then looked away, but ended up looking there again because I think something over there did change.
My eyes were glued over there for a few seconds not really seeing the change. Then I got up from my seat and slowly walked over to the Cullen's table to get a closer look.
I stood at their table for a while just looking at each of them then I turned my attention to their uneaten food and nothing changed.
"I think I'm losing my touch", I said walking back to my table, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized something.
I turned my attention back to the Cullen's table, I furrowed my eyebrows, and walked back to their table stopping in the same spot I was in before.
I looked at all of their drinks and saw that they all had their caps on them and there was no bottle cap in the air any more.
"Oh my god", I said as my face smooth out in realization. "Oh. My. God." I said again, but this time slower as it hit me.
I was looking everywhere, but at the Cullens. Then I started to pace back and forth, passing their table every time. I wasn't even paying attention to them anymore; I was too much into thought, saying the first thing that came to my head aloud.
"They aren't frozen, which means their immune to my powers, which means they are not human", I whispered, but when I said that last part I stopped pacing because if they aren't human then they can hear every word I'm saying and hear me talking to myself and mostly because of the idea of them not being human.
"So if they aren't human, then what-", I started so say as I turned my head to look at the Cullen, but ending up stopping short because of the image I saw when I looked back at their table.
My breath caught in my throat and my pulse doubled when I saw five pairs of beautiful golden eyes glaring right at me.
Thanks for reading my chapter 5 in my very first fanfic!!!!
And tell me what you all think and tell me if is any confusion as to her powers and how it works, or her family history, or anything else and if there is I'll try to explain it more in the next chapter or other chapters to come.
