I took a deep breath in and then looked at everyone. Their eyes were all on me, and I got nervous so I looked at my hands.
"The night where Leah and Kim took me out." I started. "I got a vision. But it wasn't just a vision; it was like I was living it."
I carefully looked at Nate to see him looking at me with concerned eyes.
"It was weird. I mean, I swear I was there. I could feel his hand around my neck, and I was gasping for air. I felt how he threw me down on the floor and how it felt to be practically choked to death, but each time I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't get his hands away and I was too weak to get up." I rubbed my wrist.
"So when everyone wanted answers, I decided to go to the hospital. I thought that maybe it was something normal, something I was looking over. And then I met Dr. Cullen. We both admitted our differences, and when he extended his hand out to help me, I took it. He explained to me how his family of vampires is different from the rest, the old legend, and how he thinks I might be 'the one'." I said with air quotes.
"He thought that maybe I was the peacekeeper between both creatures."
"So how did you help him?" Paul asked confused.
"I told him about me." I answered. All of the sudden, there was a huge uproar. Everyone suddenly stood up and began yelling and pointing fingers at me.
"Sit down." I commanded.
The room went quite and they did what I said.
"Let the girl finish." Leah said.
"Geez." Kim added. I chuckled at her comment and gave them a nod of thanks.
"Yes, I told him about me, but in return he helped me." I said putting my arms up.
"I learned the surroundings of my visions were something of a war. I think James is going to be recruiting vampires to help him. And the vampires won't be on the Cullen diet. I also told him about my powers, and asked him if there was anything he could do to help me with my nose bleeds and migraines."
I looked down.
"Well what did he say?" Embry said.
"Well he was as shocked as I was. He said he would look into it." I said with some disappointment.
"But Edward figured out that the battle will take place in the meadow just up above the forest."
I could see some people nodding, while others stared off into space.
"Bella. Why do you keep rubbing your wrist?" Jake asked.
"Huh?" I asked taking my hand away.
I heard gasps and winced at my stupidity.
Nate swiftly took a firm hold of my wrist and brought it into his view.
"What the fuck?" he said with venom. I tried to pull my wrist away but he was too strong.
"How did you get that Bella?" Kim asked scared.
I bit my lip and looked at Sam. I could see he was hurt and scared. I couldn't face the amount of guilt I felt towards him, so I looked away.
"It was from one of my visions. I felt as if someone was carving something into my wrist, and by the looks of it, they did." I said rubbing my wrist after I got it out of Nate's death grip.
I traced my index finger over the letters. 'Soon' it spelled out. I swallowed hard.
"Does it hurt?" Collin asked.
I shook my head. "Not really. I mean it burned one time, but it doesn't usually."
"So what's the next step?" Catie asked quietly.
"I fight." I said simply. Those words got everyone going again, and this time, I didn't have Leah or Kim on my side.
"What?" Everyone said. They all started to stand up again and point fingers at me.
"Shut up!!" I yelled getting up from my seat.
Everyone looked at me, shocked at how loud I yelled. "Sit down." I growled.
"Bella…" Sam began with a pleading voice.
"No." I cut him off. "This is my fight. It's about me. Not you. So butt out." I said rudely.
"I don't care if it's about you Bella. You are part of my life. You are part of all of our lives." Jake stated getting angry.
I sighed, putting my elbows on my knees and my hands in my head. I hated when they used the family card on me.
"I need to do this." I said determined.
"Then we will do it together. As a family." Nate said talking my hands in his.
I looked at our entwined hands and couldn't help but shed a tear. Nate was about to say something but then his cell phone ran. He sighed and moved a little to get it out of his back pocket.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Hey baby." A woman's voice said.
I tried to listen closer to the voice and found that it was Elizabeth.
"Hey Z." he said sweetly.
"Why didn't you show up a yesterday? I thought you said you were going to get some stuff done and then come back to my place later." I could tell she seemed disappointed.
For once I could tell he didn't know what to say. I know he didn't want to lie to her but he also knew he couldn't tell her.
Tell her that I'm here and you just lost track of time with me.
He looked at me and nodded. He put his hand over the bottom of the phone and mouthed thank you.
I nodded to him.
"I'm sorry babe. Bella came for a surprise visit and I jut forgot about everything else. You know how that can be, especially with her."
"Hey!" I said kiddingly.
I could hear Elizabeth just laughing.
"Elizabeth! Come over. I want you to meet some people." I told her crawling over by Nate. I took the phone from his hands and laid my head down on his lap.
"Z! I cant believe its you! I miss you! Please come over. I wanna see you! And there are some of my friends here I want you to meet."
She laughed. "Oh Iz, I missed you too! I am getting my bag now, so I will see you soon."
"Ok, love you!" I told her.
"Love you too!" she chirped sweetly. "Oh and Iz?" She asked.
"Yea?"
"These boys…are they cute?"
I could almost feel her blush. I scanned everyone in the room and giggled.
"Yea, Z. They are smokin'!" I told her with attitude. I saw Nate roll his eyes.
"Give me that!" Nate said trying to take his phone back.
I rolled off of Nate and began to run away while he chased me around the house.
I screamed and giggled. And I head Elizabeth laughing at me.
"So that must mean one of them has to be your boyfriend. Oh! and do I get to meet that friend f yours…Jake?!" She asked excitedly.
I laughed at her. She knew me too well. I ran into the kitchen and found myself trapped. Nate had cornered me. I thought for a second and then smirked at him. I levitated myself up towards the ceiling of the kitchen and floated past him. I waved to him and landed back into the living room.
"Yea, well you will just have to wait and see. See you soon." I told her happily.
"Ok Iz. Eeep! I can't wait to see you." She said excitedly.
I laughed and then pouted when Nate took the phone from behind me and then walked back into the kitchen.
"Meany butt." I said and then stomped over to where Sam was sitting. I plopped down on his lap and he chuckled. His arms wrapped around my waist and he kissed my shoulder. I leaned into him and closed my eyes.
I heard Nate talking with Elizabeth. "Ok, see you soon. I love you Babe." He said and then he hung up.
When Nate came back into the living room he looked at me.
"How did you do that?" he asked astounded.
I looked up to him from Sam's shoulder. "What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"You levitated, and it was amazing. It was like you could float."
I looked at him like he was stupid. "yeaa. That's kind of what Levitation is like."
I gave him the craziest look.
"Can you fly?" he asked suddenly.
"What? No!" I said quickly before anyone could hassle me about it.
"Have you even tried?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"No, but I think I would know if I could fly Nate. Geez." I said laying my head back down on Sam's shoulder.
"Mmhhmm."
He walked to the couch, but didn't break eye contact with me.
As we were waiting for Z to come I noticed that Nate wouldn't stop looking at me.
"Nate Stopp. I can't fly ok?" I told him sternly.
He put his hands behind his head and rolled his eyes.
We all sat there in silence just waiting for Elizabeth to arrive.
