In the moments following the experience of Luca's ability, my world was like a blur of colors. Nothing I looked at registered. I was broken. The thoughts that Luca resurfaced wouldn't return to the place they had came from, the place at the very back of my mind. Whenever people spoke it felt like I was in a different room listening through the walls.

I knew I was moving but it wasn't me moving for me. Someone was holding me. Normally I would look but the trance I was kept in stopped me.

"Blythe." I heard a 'new' voice. "Blythe." Allegra was calling me but I couldn't think of anything. The anguish it wouldn't dissipate.

"What happened?" Allegra's voice was getting fainter.

"Luca…" Aurora's voice was even more so. I felt someone stroke my hair.

"What did you do?" Allegra chimed in.

"I-I didn't mean to," Luca began. "She started talking about you and… I couldn't help myself."

"You told me you could control it." Allegra growled.

"She talked about my coven…"

"So you break her?" Allegra snapped. "Her trying to help you is enough for you to break her." Broken.

"I-"

"Allegra," It was Aurora. "You didn't stop him for long. We have to keep going. We have to do this at another time." I felt the snow crunch and whoever was stroking my hair ceased doing so.

"No, I'll get her." Allegra snapped at someone and I was lifted up off the ground. "You're going to fix her, Luca." We were moving again and I felt a vision.

We were returning to the Western Hemisphere via a ship that was moving between Russia and Alaska. The Cullens were going to meet us. There was something off though. We gained—

I was cut off again. The pain from before was nothing like it was now. It knocked all the wind from me I wanted to writhe on the ground scream anything but it was as if I couldn't control anything.

"Don't stop her visions." Aurora chimed in. "It does more harm than good."

"It's okay, Bee." I barely heard Allegra. "I'll protect you."

We stopped again in another building. It wasn't until I was set down that I realized we were in a hotel. I felt someone stroking my head and I tried in vain to move but the out of body feeling was still in place.

"Fix her. Now." Allegra came in loud and clear. I saw Luca kneel down to my level and place both hands on my head. In what felt like an instant, I pinned him against a mirror. Shattering it against his head. A fierce growl erupted from my mouth and, from what I can see in the cracked glass, my eyes were a deep black.

"Blythe." Elsie spoke up and I felt two sets of hands on my arms. Elsie and Aurora. No matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't speak. To explain everything, my mouth wouldn't move from its clenched position. I let go of Luca and moved to one of the beds, not looking at anyone. I couldn't, not after what he did and what I did.

"Let him go and think it," Aurora began. "I'll translate."

I can't.

"Try." Aurora sat down next to me. I looked to the door and to everyone else. We were all there: everyone who escaped from the Volturi's henchmen. Russell was looking at me intently and Kassandra let her hand brush against his arm making him look at her.

Make them leave. I nodded my head toward Kassandra and Russell. For some reason, I couldn't look at them. I didn't want to see them and have them hear what was going on inside my head.

"I'm sorry but could you please excuse us?" Aurora tossed a smile at them.

"Us?" Kassandra looked astonished feeling left out of our discussion.

"Yes, this is for Lawrence members only." Aurora answered and, with a scoff Kassandra led her sister and Russell out of the room slamming the door as she did so.

Why Lawrence? Why not Abbot or Smith? It was weird. Them using my name I was 'Ives' for the majority of my life. It also didn't seem fair, having my name when I was actually the youngest.

I heard her laugh. "She wants to know why we chose her name and not someone elses."

"It seems a fitting name." Elsie stated. "I never remembered being a 'Smith' nor do many of us remember our surnames anymore." She shook her head. Her black locks shaking with her.

But I-.

"Enough." Aurora smiled. "You're humility is something left for angels. Let's get down to business." I knew what she was talking about.

You know. You've seen it. All of it. More than anyone should. I then looked up to Luca then back down to something else. I…I can't stand it. She translated that last bit but nothing before.

"Can't stand what?" I heard someone ask.

Being alone. I heard Aurora she was now working as a medium for both of us. I'm the only one. I looked to Chirstopher. You and Katrina are going to be together.

"No we're—" Aurora and I cut him off.

Bull shit. I see the way you look at her. Treat her. The way you two act around one another. I smiled. I've seen you two together. She'll be like us. Immortal.

"Russell?" Luca offered and I shook my head.

He's with Kass—I was cut off by a slap. Aurora, through burns, worked up the strength to slap me. It sounded like marble.

"If only you knew what she's doing." Aurora growled and winced as her burns grew worse. "Just try to look. Luca, act as a barrier and stop who ever will try to rip her away again."

"Look. For yourself, please."

I closed my eyes and waited. Waited for that vision to come.
