Chapter 2

I heard a gasp, but realized it came from me. Then everything went black.

I slowly opened my eyes. "Where am I?" I looked around and saw Andrew sitting on a chair next to me.

"How do you feel?" he asked, worriedly.

"I feel fine, but what happened? I remember the water turning red, but after that, everything is kind of fuzzy."

"You passed out." Andrew said quietly. "You scared everyone badly when I came in with you limp in my arms and the expression on my face. This usually doesn't happen for no reason at all, so I had no idea what to do. You scared and startled me so much, I thought my heart would start again from shock! Do you know what happened?"

"Well, I could tell something was wrong when you gasped. You sounded kind of far away. And my vision was black at the edges...I think I felt like I didn't have any energy as well." I told him, sitting up.

"Maybe we should have Aro check you memory to find out what might have happened. He still wants to talk to you, but he didn't have a chance to since you passed out yesterday. Do you think you're up to it yet, E-"It was then that I interrupted him.

"WHAT! I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THE WHOLE DAY! B-but, how?! You were showing me around the castle at 7 am! And I thought we couldn't sleep! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!" I only stopped because Andrew started staring at me. Oops. I didn't mean to say that so loud. If I had been human I would have been scarlet. I looked down in embarrassment. Then I remembered something and looked up. I still hadn't figured out where I was, for I didn't recognize this room. There was a desk, a small window, a chair, a mirror, the bed I was on, and an old faded painting. On the desk were some papers, a quill pen, and a small bottle ¾ full of ink. "Where am I?" I asked again, looking back at Andrew.

"My room. We're just a few rooms down from where you passed out." He didn't look so surprised now, but still pretty surprised. I guess my reaction really startled him. Then he spoke again. "Continuing from before," he said smiling. "Are you feeling well enough to go see Aro? Or are you not ready yet?" he was looking worried by the time he finished. I honestly wasn't sure. I closed my eyes and suddenly I could feel every molecule of my body. I could feel that I was completely full of energy and completely awake. I slowly blinked my eyes open and smiled.

"I'm almost ready to see Aro, Andrew. But first I want to try something." When he looked at me curiously, I explained. "I want to see if I can turn water into blood again, but this time trying to. If I can, I'll want to show Aro." He smiled. "Where can I find some water?" I asked him.

"Be right back." And he was gone. A minute later, he was back with a glass of water. "Will this do?" I smiled and nodded. I took the cup and set it on the desk. Then I sat on the bed and closed my eyes. I pictured the cup in my mind and concentrated very hard on it turning red. I slowly opened my eyes. The water was exactly the same. I frowned, disappointed. What happened next made me gasp. The water started glowing blue. I looked in the mirror and saw my eyes were glowing blue again. I looked back at the cup and the water was slowly starting to turn red. The delicious smell came in to my nose again, but not as strong as before. At least not yet. Suddenly the door opened again, and Emrys poked his head in.

"I know I smell blood in here. What's going- What the heck?" He had just noticed the water turning red and the slowly strengthening smell of blood coming off it. "What's going on here? What's happening to that water? And why does it smell like blood?"

"It's ok Emrys. Ella just has the ability to turn water into blood." Andrew said quietly, watching the last remnants of water turn to blood. Then he turned to me and asked "Are you still thirsty? If so, you should at least drink that glass of blood. We can get you fed more once you've met up with Aro." I nodded and reached for the cup. Then I decided to try to show off. I concentrated on the cup floating into my hand. When it did, I heard two gasps and I smiled. I look over at them. Then Andrew remembered I had the ability of telekinesis and explained to Emrys. I thought I heard him muttering about too many abilities and smiled. Then I drank the blood and put the cup back on the table. I still felt ravenous, but I felt a little better.

"Alright, I'm ready to see Aro now. But maybe we should bring another glass of water to show Aro my newly discovered ability." He smiled, disappeared, and was back a minute later with a new glass of water. "Where do these things come from?" I asked him. He smiled.

"The front lobby."

"Wait. WE HAVE A LOBBY! B-but...how? We're VAMPIRES! How can we have a LOBBY?! How would they NOT realize we're vampires? We don't exactly look like normal humans!" When I said that, I saw several expressions pass through Andrew's eyes. Sadness, surprise (no doubt from my reaction), nervousness, worry, and something I couldn't figure out before he looked away.

"Aro can explain." I heard him say quietly. I looked at him curiously. What did I say? Before I got up, I checked my energy level one more time, the same way as last time. I didn't have as much energy as I did last time I checked, but I still have quite a bit left. He put a hand over the top of the glass so the water wouldn't spill, looked back to make sure I was ready to go, and took off. I had to start running right away just to have the chance to catch up. What did I do? Once I caught up with him, I decided to ask him.

"What did I say that has you acting like this, Andrew?" He just shook his head and repeated what he said before. But what would Aro explain? I kept thinking that until we reached the room Aro was in.

"Ah. There you are Ella. Are you feeling better?" Aro looked at me with concern. That seemed to make Jane glare at me again. I sighed. Why does she hate me?

"Yes Aro. I'm feeling much better. I'm very sorry I made you wait so long to talk to me. Will we still be able to talk now?" He nodded and, like before, we all found a place to sit.

"What I want to talk about first is to figure out what made you pass out before. Do you have any ideas?" I shook my head no. "Well, do you mind if I read your mind to see if I might figure it out?" He asked, holding out his hand. I smile and held out mine as well.

But once I made contact with his hand, I gasped. It couldn't be! No way!

I could hear what Aro was thinking!
