A/N
I am terribly sorry for the absence in reviewing this weekend. I was doing double shifts at work the whole time and when I wasn't at work I was taking care of my other humanly needs (like sleeping, eating etc.) Double shifts takes alot out of a girl. Please don't hate me.
I hope this chapter was worth the wait.
Xo Jay.

The angel stirred in my arms, I had momentarily stopped looking at her future to look at Edwards. A vision came to me. As unpleasant as it was, it gave me some information I longed to hear. How Bella would get her wings.
Edward was running through the forest, Jasper running right along with him. They looked confused, as though they were having trouble finding scents. They were searching for us. Edwards phone rang, and it dawned on me they were in a part of the forest where phone reception was available. They were looking in the wrong area.
That was why they made us run around the same place for so long, to confuse our odours. So they couldn't find us. Damn. Edward picked up the phone, it was Eleazar, I could hear the conversation clear as day.
"Hello" Edward said, knowing who it was.
"Edward, I dug deeper in on Angels and Ferries, since that girl is both. The interesting thing is how they get there wings. On some of the specimens I tested they had powers, but like us it varies and I have never encountered someone in there species with the same gift"
"What about the wings, how do they get their wings?" Edward asked, sounding almost desperate. I heard a sigh from Eleazar.
"That's the thing. There is only one way a Ferrie or an Angel can get their wings. I have a theory about why it happens the way it does. But both species get their wings the same way"
"What is it? How?" Edward whispered.
"The only way a Ferrie or an Angel can get there wings is by making their bodies impure. Once the hymen is broken they are considered impure and my theory is that they grow wings to counter it. Their bodies, as well as their blood, are said to be the purest of the pure, even more so than god himself. Their wings will grow once they have been turned impure, thus the 'tainted' being will grow wings to make it pure again" Eleazar tried to explain without causing too much confusion.
"But…."
I was brought painfully out of the vision as Bella grabbed at me, holding on with the strength only a supernatural could possess, a feral snarl released from my throat as I saw Phil and Charlie there, Phil's eyes fixed on me as Charlie tried to pull my sister away from me without hurting her too much.
Bella was trying to protect me. I didn't move. I couldn't. One false move and Bella would be dead.
"Let go!" Charlie growled as he position his foot on her back. I snarled and went to attack, but as I did I heard a deafening scream. With a start I realised I had caused it, the pain became clear in my mind. Bella was on the floor, unable to reach me as Charlie held her down, and Bella was crying openly. They had used unfathomable speeds to grab her off me. The pain had made itself the dominant thought in my mind, it was worse than being burnt alive. It was worse than the burning throat of a newborn. It was worse than anything I had ever experienced.
Bella screamed as I did; only as she screamed out my name, the unthinkable happened. It stopped, the pain subsided. Bella looked as shocked as I, she wasn't touching me, but the pain stopped so abruptly as if she had. She was….amazing. Just as Eleazar had said they can hold gifts, like us. But it appears that she holds more than one.
To cause pain without touching the individual, to heal not only herself, but others, to protect herself and others. Bella Swan was a godsend. Phil howled in rage and grabbed Bella by the throat. An emotion I hadn't known before I met this girl caused through me. Fear.
"Stop it!" Phil snarled.
"I'm not doing anything!" She gasped out. I held in a sob as I saw her face turning a light shade of blue.
"Stop protecting her" He hissed. Bella responded in gasps.
"I…Don't know….what….I'm doing" He threw her across the room, the chain strained and she came to a stop in mid-air and fell to the floor. I breathed a sigh of relief, there wasn't enough force, nor momentum to break her neck.
Phil left then, not a word passed his lips as he came back minutes later with wood and a lighter. He motioned for me to give him the meat he had given me earlier, and started a fire just beyond our reach. Bella crawled back over to me, and she decided to tell me she was sorry, and she didn't know what she did, but she was going to keep trying. I pat her back, trying to make it appear to the two other vampires as a sign of affection and comfort while telling Bella I understand.
Phil hadn't even cooked the meat properly, it was still a red slab of what smelt like cow. He had heated it enough to kill bacteria and bugs, then shoved it at Bella. I was appalled and disgusted. She couldn't eat that. As I made to protest Phil growled.
"That's the only food she gets, you complain and she won't get any at all" I kept my mouth shut then. I looked at Bella, she was eyeing the meat with distain. But she bit into it and chocked it down, fully aware she desperately needed it.
Phil smiled in satisfaction, while Charlie looked disgusted that his daughter could do such a thing. Nutrients was nutrients. She needed it badly, even more so now she knows that we are subconsciously taking her energy. Phil and Charlie departed, as usual not saying a word.
Once I could no longer hear them I knew there were out of hearing range, but just is case I kept my voice to a whisper.
"Are you ok, Bella?" I asked, she nodded her head mutely.
"Bella, I know how you can get your wings, but it isn't very nice" I whispered.
"How?" She asked desperately. She knew as well as I having wings is almost guaranteed to increase her power, it may give her another gift as well, it would give us the power to get out of here.
I promised myself I would get her out of here alive. I would do anything to keep that promise.
"Bella…."
So, will she be able to get them out? Will she follow through with the plan or will Bella stop her in her tracks. Will Bella be able to save her newfound sister? Review and find out!
