Coven of Power

Nighttime

Bella's POV
I haven't seen Jane since this morning and I'm so freaking tired. This whole 'jet-lag' thing is NOT fun. At all. I step into my room and steam fills the air. Alec's door is open and I walk in silently. Suddenly I hear movement behind me and I slowly turn.
Big mistake.
He's in a fucking towel. My mouth goes dry and I swallow.
"Sorry, I thought there was something wrong...." I trail off. Now would be a good time to leave but I can't seem to tear my eyes away from his muscular chest.
"Nothing is." He says curtly breaking me out of my muscle induced trance. I practically run out to my room and slam the door, breathing heavily.
I need sleep. I lay down on the bed and slip off my shirt now just in a silk tank top and a lace bra set. Boy shorts too. I go under the light covers and slip into the void of sleep.

Carlisle's POV

Esme and I play checkers and Alice sits in a corner looking upset. I stand up after letting Esme beat for the eighth time and go to her.
"Whats wro-" I don't finish my sentence because we're cut off by a bloodcurdling scream. We all stop cold. Isabella. The rest of my coven race along with me to her room and break down the locked door. Her eyes are closed and her face is contorted with pain. I want to grab her hand and see what she's dreaming of but she hates when we do that. So Jasper shakes her awake and her eyes open wide in fear.
An emotion I haven't seen in a long time. Aro and Caius appear in the room as well.
"Can you tell me what's wrong?" I ask in a voice I'd use to talk to a child with. She shakes her head, terrified. "Can you show me?" I ask. I hold out my hand. She looks at it for a minutes and touches it with her finger.
Smoke. Fire. It's filling the air rapidly and I'm tied to a stake. My legs are burning slowly and it's unbearable. I close my eyes. I hear rambunctious laughter. I struggle to see through the smoke. Faces look back at me. Some blank, some happy, some bored. The pain is to much and I try to struggle with no use. It goes black as the fire reaches my knees.
I yank back my hand before she could go any further. I crawl onto her bed and wrap her in a hug.
"Shhh...honey it's okay..." I coo as the members of the Volturi pile in. Jasper looks at me urging me to tell me what's wrong with her. I mouth 'Jane' to him. His eyes go wide. 'Is she okay?' He mouthes back. I look at her and then back at him, raising an eyebrow. He looks sheepish and turns away.
"Who-who was that?" She chokes out. I frown. I thought she knew.
"It was Alec. Or Jane." She buries her face in my shirt just as Alec and Jane appear in the doorway. Alec looks like he's in deep pain. Natural of course for his situation.
"What happened you motherfu-"
"Izzy will explain when she's ready." I scold her. Her red eyes flash angrily. Isabella sobs and Alec's eyes glimmer with an emotion I can't place. He leaves but only I see him clutch his chest in pain.
"Did you see her face?" Isabella cries but it's muffled. I stroke her hair and lay her back on the bed and I see her falling asleep again.
"Carlisle. What happened to the human?" Caius asks rudely. I glare.
"ISABELLA had a very.....vivid flashback from Alec's or Jane's point of view of being burned at the stake. And yes, she felt it. I watch Jane's face to from anger to sadness to protectiveness. She sits on the bed gingerly.
"I'll watch her." She says. I nod and slowly people file out. Only I stay.
"Be careful. She has many people that love her." I say and walk out.
I'm sure Alec was watching the entire time.
