~Bella's POV~


     It was a rainy day in Forks, Washington again. You had found out about your father from Fera but it was confirmed when you walked into the police station. You showed no emotion until you were back at your old house. As soon as the door closed behind you your knees buckled and you were crying into the floorboards for your father and your witch sister. Esme found you like that and got you to go back with her. She knew you shouldn't be alone right now and you couldn't thank her enough. Edward was sent news about what happened and was on a plane instantaneously. The others were nearby but they didn't trust you fully yet. You didn't blame them but it still hurt. You only lost yourself because of Fera and it scared you. You secretly liked it until it cost you the life of Sarah. Sarah was the best sister you ever had; she always knew what to do when even you didn't. Esme had sat you in Edward's room and you were just staring out the wall length windows. That was two days ago until Edward himself swam into your vision. He just sat down beside you and didn't say anything. It was comforting because you didn't have the energy to do much. 

     You were shaken slightly and was back to staring at the two coffins as they lowered them into the ground slowly. It broke your heart again and it made you stumble back into Edward. He just held onto you as you watched helplessly. Carlisle and Esme were next to you and the rest of the coven were forming a protective circle around you. They allowed you to throw in the first hand of dirt and you managed to stand on your own to do it. You stilled your hand before you could let the dirt fall. It felt too final to you and that scared you. You brought the dirt back and looked back at Edward.

"I can't." He smiled sadly and helped you let go. Your heart broke more as it was done. You turned away as they started filling in the holes. Edward kept you looking ahead so that you wouldn't look back. The whole of Forks seemed to come to say their goodbyes and you held yourself together. No emotion showed on your face as you walked through the throng of people. They all made way for you and the Cullens until you saw a familiar tan face scowling. It was Jacob Black and his father. You looked away and knew what was to come when not in public eye. Edward and you drove with Carlisle and Esme in the Volvo while the others were all together in the Mercedes. You sighed as the door closed and thanked the engineers for dark tint. You knew Jacob could hear you still and looked out as he kept staring.

"Meet us by the river, Jake. We need to discuss things." He blinked as a yes before you left.

"What can the wolves do to help?" Edward asked as we sped back to the Cullen house.

"Mind links. I can make a link that triggers when a specific word or phrase is said. We all need to be vigilant for Fera. She's up to something and I don't think we'll like it." You slipped off your gloves and saw that the tips of your fingers were worse than before. Edward took your hand and kissed your knuckles.

"Don't worry. We'll figure this out, together." You just nodded and took your hand back. You still didn't like how black your fingertips were but it was supposably reversable. You doubted anything that woman said to you.

She lies.

You took a sharp breath in and looked around to figure out where the voice came from. Carlisle peered at you from the rearview mirror and then back at the road. Now you were hearing things. You blocked your mind and closed your eyes as you tried to decipher the voice. It was a male's voice no doubt but why was it manifesting now?

"We're here." You snapped open your eyes and opened the door. Edward was right beside you and held onto you as his siblings came over.

"We need to know what happened since we last saw you." Rosalie stated and you nodded.

"Let's move inside for this conversation." You felt eyes behind you and they felt familiar. You brought a hand up to Edward's back and he wrapped one around your waist. The family was sitting around the room in various positions. You sighed and dropped your coat on a free chair before stepping into the center of the room. You muttered a small spell and held out your hands. 

"If you want to know everything then hold my hands, I'll show you." Alice jumped up and took a hand but frowned.

"I didn't see anything." You smiled at her and explained.

"Everyone must hold hands and form a circle. It will only work like that." Alice nodded and held a hand out towards Jasper. He then took Rosalie's hand who was holding onto Emmett. Emmett smiled towards me and took Esme's hand.

"Edward." Carlisle held out his hand and when everyone was joined you let out everything you knew witch-related. Everyone gasped as their eyes glazed over with the new information. It took a couple of minutes but when it was done you broke the connection. They were breathing heavily and looked at you with pity.

"Bella-"

"Stop it with the pity. I never asked to it nor do I want it." You snapped at Rosalie before she could utter another word. Emmett stepped up and puffed out his chest.

"Pipe down Emmett. I won't hurt your mate in any way." You spoke in a bored tone but you were very tired.

"The wolves." Edward stated and you sighed. You didn't think you could do much more with your powers.

"I need to speak to Carlisle before we go. In private if possible." Edward nodded but looked to his father figure.

"I'll bring her over after. It should only be a minute." Everyone left and Carlisle turned towards me.

"What's wrong?" You looked up and gave a guilty look.

"I won't be able to show the wolves anything. I drained my powers showing you all what I did. There is a way to recharge them quickly though..." You kept your eating habits from them and the research of recharging a depleted power supply.

"How?" He moved us to the kitchen and sat us down.

"Vampire blood. I've researched it and Eleanor had done some experiments with it." Carlisle looked bewildered and hummed as if contemplating.

"Vampire's don't have blood. We only have venom in place of blood." I sighed and closed my eyes as I revealed a piece of his history.

"A vampire that was made, not bitten, is the only one that has vampire blood. You are the only vampire that has blood in your veins and venom."
