Screw the Cullen's, I'm a Mikaelson [DISCONTINUED & REWRITTEN]

Letting Go

I slowly opened my eyes, and groaned, I was sore all over.

A warm hand squeezed mine and I turned to see who it was.

It was Paul, his other hand was gently stroking my creek. "Hey," he said softly.

"Hi," I whispered, my voice raspy. "What happened?"

He averted his eyes from mine. "Well. . ."

I squeezed his hand lightly. "Paul?"

He looked me in the eyes. "You got your powers-" I grinned "-but you couldn't control them. They were to much for you and you fainted."

My grin faltered, and I pondered what happened.

Flashback

I moved my lips in sync with his and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smiled and then, it happened. What I had been waiting for for five years. . . . my powers.

I felt my fingertips tingle and my eyes snapped open just as a sharp pain hit my chest.

I pushed back Paul as far as I could and started screaming as the pain spread. From my heart to my fingers and toes, and I fell to my knees.

"Artemis!" I could hear them all yelling.

My head snapped up and it started. The earth began to crack, the wind became strong, water began to rain down, and flames erupted from the cracks in the ground. The pain became greater, my screams louder, the Earth's cracks larger, the wind stronger, the flames larger and the rain poured harder.

"MAKE IT STOP!!" I screamed.

And with that, the rain abruptly stopped, the wind died down, the flames extinguished themselves and the ruptures closed.

I slumped to my side on the ground and breathed heavily. I heard footsteps, and the last thing I saw before I closed my eyes, was Paul and Emmett, tears streaming down their cheeks.

End of Flashback

"How's my dad?" I asked him.

"Edward's doing f-"

"Not Edward," I said sternly. "He's my father, not my dad. There's a difference. I was asking about Emmett. . . "

He smiled lightly. "He's alright. He went to go get me lunch; I didn't want to leave your side."

I smiled and looked around. Everything was beyond familiar. "Where am I?"

"My room. I wanted to stay as close to you as possible and well, Sam wouldn't let me hang around all the time at your place."

I frowned. "Why? Jake hangs around there all the time. Too much for my taste but either way he does."

"That's the thing, Jake and Renesmee are actually dating. And Edward accepts him. While us, I've slapped you, kissed you, and triggered your powers which caused you to pass out. Edward didn't exactly approve."

"I don't care if he approves or not, he has not control over me. Never have, never will."

He smiled. "Your real tough, you know?"

I chuckled. "Well, I was able to handle a slap from you and the Bells Bitch on the same cheek in one day, so I guess I am." I smiled, but the look in his eyes turned dark.

"Bella, slapped, you?" He gritted out, he was visibly shaking and breathing heavily.

I sat up and put a hand on his cheek and chest. "Hey, it doesn't matter, okay? Okay, let it go, let go."

The look in his eyes lessened, and his breathing returned to normal just as Emmett walked in. Emmett held two white bags, I could smell burgers and fries.
