Again, Sherry rocks xx
Chapter 42
A plan had been formed. Edward and his men were going to attack my father at the next full moon, when our people would be at their strongest. I was torn between staying at home, protecting my son, and helping them fight. As much as Edward didn't want to admit it, I was now one of their biggest weapons since I had my powers back. I don't think I could live with myself if our people were slaughtered because I wasn't there to help.
In the end, I had decided to bring Edmund with me. It was a risk, but I just couldn't bring myself to leave him behind. I didn't trust anyone enough to protect him. Edward and I would stay close to each other. We would protect our son, with our lives if need be.
Alice had insisted on helping me practice my magic when she found out that my powers had returned. She thought I would have been a little rusty after, not using them for so many years, turns out magic came naturally to me. I wasn't rusty at all.
The strangest of things happened when we were out in a meadow practicing. Alice was taking me through the basics that we had learned as children when Edmund insisted on joining in.
"My turn mom!" He yelled, knocking me out the way as he stumbled towards the plant we were reviving.
"Edmund, I don't think you will be," I began to say when Alice interrupted me.
"Let the boy, try."
So, I did, and I was completely stunned by what I saw. Edmund repeated the chant we had been saying, moving his hands the exact same way I had, and the plant came back to life.
"I … I uh, don't understand," I mumbled.
"Well, he is part you, Bella," Alice said, excitedly clapping her hands.
"But I gave my powers up. I thought because we were both werewolves … I thought he would have been a pure blood."
Alice laughed. "You may have given them up Bella, but you can't change your DNA. You can't change who you were. I thought there was a chance he would have magic. Why do you think I insisted on bringing him along?"
I grabbed Edmund's arm and forced him to look at me. "I think we should keep this secret from your father, for now at least. We wouldn't want to upset him." Luckily, Edmund happily agreed.
For the next several weeks, Alice and I took him out into the meadow and began training him. I felt better knowing that if anything happened to us, my son, he would be able to defend himself, not that I was going to let anything happen to either of us.
I wouldn't let Edmund grow up without his parents. I had grown-up without my mother and that hadn't exactly turned out well.
