With strained concentration Bella suddenly focused on the dam. Behind Benjamin the structure looked imposing – somehow the god like creature made it look dangerous.
'If only I could just touch Benjamin.' Bella thought not realizing the changes that would occur in her if she did.
The problem was Bella couldn't move – the ice water still held her in place freezing up her muscles preventing movement.
Jane stood in attentive silence as Charlie and Benjamin stood discussing some topic that held the woman's attention. Bella's mind couldn't handle the strain and she looked away from the pair – mainly Jane and Benjamin.
Marmora's spell to make her forget wasn't working. This caused the only memories that didn't hurt Bella to think about were the ones of the most immediate occurrence.
"There are two cursed secrets that could threaten harm. One of them is well know as the most terrifying biological threat to ever befall man – the bubonic plague." Charlie says. "That's one of them. The other is the ultimate curse, one that has been fantasized about in popular media for some time."
'The Zombie Plague.' Bella thinks just as Charlie confirms Bella's thoughts.
"They're both air born." Charlie says.
This startles Bella. She had no idea Charlie – but Bella doesn't finish that thought. Bella waits for Charlie to confirm some things. However his answer isn't satisfactory.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Bella says startling everyone and annoying Benjamin.
"Don't worry the same methods I used to acquire them are currently being used to contain them." Charlie says.
"Are you fucking kidding me? That's it? The same methods, what methods?" Bella says.
"Yes do tell Charlie. This is a serious threat, as the Volturi would be vulnerable just as much as humans if either one of these threats were to escape 'the same methods' and rise to apocalyptic levels." Jane says.
"Shut up!" Benjamin says completely silencing Bella.
"Don't speak to me that way Benjamin." Jane says threatening violence.
"Oh I was just doing my job of ridding this earth of any potential threats." Benjamin says. "That thing sitting in the metal that damaged the wall of strange stone? It has been foretold by the Amazonian Oracle that Bella will bring destruction upon the whole world."
"That's bullshit. My daughter would never – " Charlie says.
"You don't believe me? Fine let me prove it to you…Bella! Come." Benjamin says and Bella walks toward Benjamin no longer constricted.
Inside Bella feels trapped she can't control her body.
"You have no right to control my daughter." Charlie says.
"And you have no right to call her your daughter. Where were you for the last 14 years of her life?" Benjamin says and Charlie stays silent sensing the truth in Benjamin's words.
Bella continues to walk forward meticulously picking her way along the river. The water rose to Bella's shoulders.
Taking greater concentration Benjamin influenced Bella to avoid the sections that would plunge the small teenager into the freezing liquid past her head.
Coming closer Bella realized that one of her best-kept secrets would finally be revealed.
Benjamin had been right. Charlie had no right to call Bella his daughter, neither did Renee have the right to call herself Bella's mother.
Bella really didn't want to reveal something she had been keeping secret since the day she had been born. If revealed the whole supernatural world would likely change and Bella didn't like the implications of such changes.
As she extended her hands toward Benjamin Bella made a decision. Benjamin couldn't live.
Benjamin may be the only known vampire in existence who controls earth wind fire and water. But that didn't mean that he wasn't a threat to Bella.
After all Benjamin had just threatened and was clearly planning to kill Bella – so Bella decided to end his life before he ended hers.
The battle would be though. Bella was human and her arsenal of weapons was severely limited.
Benjamin on the other hand wouldn't have any trouble taking Bella on. After all he had control of 4 elements.
The elements are water, air, fire, earth, darkness, light, metal, electricity, poison, death, life, time, heaven, hell, void, and science.
Benjamin only controlled 4 of the 16 elements. 'I should be able to take him down since he only has the most basic, or the first four elements.' Bella thinks. 'Now if he had any of the others? Then it would be a real bitch to take him down. I am however confident that I can kill him and I will before he kills me.'
Before Bella reaches Benjamin she swivels and dives toward Charlie. The sudden movements made the man drop the gun he had in his hand.
'Perfect. Exactly as I planned.' Bella thinks as she dives under the water for the rapidly sinking weapon.
Realizing to late what Bella is doing Benjamin roars and lunges for Bella. The only problem with Benjamin is that he can't be submerged into water without first gaining permission from the element Water itself.
Taking caution Bella snatches the AA-12 and swims frantically keeping her head under. The good thing for Bella is the river Phoenix below the dam was very silty and visibility was nonexistence since a layer of thick silt floated on the surface. Underneath Bella could see just fine since light filtered through the silt and provided just enough illumination to maneuver quickly and safely.
Bells reaches the dam and her head breaks the surface. Quickly so as not to waste any precious seconds Bella scrambles onto a maintenance ladder and starts climbing up the front of the dam.
Howls of rage alarm and a police siren follows Bella up the ladder - the tumult pushing her feet forcing her to make the accent faster.
Reaching the top and looking down Bella sees Benjamin racing Jane up the side of the cliff next to the dam. Bella whimpers - if the two vampires approached her at the same time Bella would be forced to kill both.
Benjamin Bella wanted to kill.
Bella would rather be tortured for the rest of her life than cause any harm to Jane.
