Chapter 21

BELLA

Friday Morning

Waking up was rough I had another nightmare, another one of those dreams, so I was late.

Flashback

It was dark and damp I could hear breathing.

"Isabella," a gravelly voice said.

It echoed all around me.

"It's almost time for us to be one child."

End of flashback

Breakfast was had in the car. I was in such a rush that I did not notice when Tyler's van hit a patch of black ice just ahead of me. I was headed straight into him and the students were too close for me to stop and do a handbrake turn safely so I had no choice.

Jane and Alec were at the Cullen's so I was alone. All I could hear was screeching and everything started to move in slow motion. I hit accelerate and turned my car into a handbrake turn and hit the same patch of ice, skid into the parking lot, and missed Tyler's car.

But I hit the pavement sideways and my car went flying into the air at the speed I was going, I saw the car flip over once, I unbuckled my belt and I kicked myself out the passenger window as the car went to flip for the second time. I tucked myself into a flip and rolled onto the grass there was glass everywhere. I couldn't feel a single thing all I could think of was that I was alive and that I had just damaged my poor car in an effort to make sure that I didn't hurt any humans.

I was lying on the grass on my back panting when I heard my car finally land. This all happened in a matter of seconds every move was calculated and executed with the precision of a vampire or in my case unknown. My ears were ringing my head pounding my eyes bleary but I could recognise that touch anywhere.

Rosalie.

Then it all went black

Rosalie

'Where is Bella?'

Almost immediately after that thought echoed in my mind I heard a screech and turned to see that Tyler had slid on some back ice. He was in no immediate danger but it was what I saw afterwards that had my un-dead heart feel like it had fallen to the ends of the earth. It was Bella, and she was headed straight for Tyler's van the speed and manner she was coming she would not stop in time. She was either going to hit the van head-on or clip it and hit the students

It was then I saw something happen, something I had never seen before. Her face went blank for a heartbeat, then her eyes went black, no pupil or iris just black. She accelerated and my heart along with her car, I had no idea what to do but I was rooted to the spot, I could not move I could not speak. The precision in her every movement was beyond vampiric it flowed like water like she knew what was going to happen before it happened even more precisely than Alice and her gift. My stomach moved into my mouth, I didn't even know it was possible for me to feel faint but at that moment I felt like I was going to pass out.

I saw her move and kick herself through the passenger window flip through the air and land into a tuck and roll on the grass while her car continued to flip once more away from everyone and land. I ran as humanly fast as I could to my mate, as soon as I got to her her eyes faded from the pitch black to the orbs I have fallen for. Then she fell unconscious.

Bella

When I woke up it was dark outside but I could easily recognise the person holding my hand there was only one person I know who gives me sparks by just holding my hand.

"Hhhmmm," my mouth was as dry as a desert and I felt like I had swallowed sand like a toddler.

"Hey Bella," I heard Rose say

She gave me some ice chips and kissed my forehead.

"Let me go and call Carlisle, he will want to know that you are awake and your father as well. If I am not mistaken the entire Volturi is here," she said with a small smile but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Wait how long have I been out?" I asked while holding on to her hand.

"It's been 17 hours Bella, we were so worried,"

I pulled her into my arms and held her tight. I could not believe I had been out for so long. What happened to me.

"I'm awake now, Rose. I will get better," I reassured

"That's not the problem, something happened to you Bella something happened during the accident and while you were passed out." She said with a shaky voice

She then explained what she saw when I was driving. The eyes and the fluidity of my movements the execution and precision were downright inhuman.

"You were screaming, like something was inside you and wanted to come out, Carlisle said it was similar to the change vampires go through we had to move you to our house, you're in our basement right now. Something is going on with you Bella and you know what it is don't you?" Rose accused

"Why don't take me up and I can explain to everyone one time instead." I suggested.

Rosalie picked me up gently and took me upstairs the first person I ran into was Demetri guarding the door to the basement. Of course between him and Felix, I am always well protected. Safe against intruders. Jane and Alec are feared in the vampire world but don't look like a threat like Felix and Demetri do.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek like usual and walked two steps behind Rose. I knew he had already informed my father that we had walked out of the basement so naturally, he was the next person that we saw along with my mother.

I missed them so much. They both held me so tight I wanted to cry for a moment but I held myself tears are for later.

We all greeted each other. My aunts and uncle had stayed in Italy to run the V but they wished they were here and I wished they were here as well.

After we settled Esme brought me some soup, we cracked a few jokes while I ate and discussed all the pranks we had played and how we had been settling in.

After half an hour, I started to talk to them about the dreams the voice and the changes. From the most insignificant like the hardness of my nails to the enhanced muscle memory and general enhancements to my brain and body. My mother noticed that I was more durable because a human would have broken or at the least fractured something from an accident like that. We discussed the possibilities for another hour before I got tired.

'You would think being asleep for hours would mean I have more energy, but no, more sleep for the almost human I guess.'
