LOOKING through Edward's mind to see what Zafrina was making him see, Kalina could see a beautiful rainforest. She could hear the sounds of animals and could smell the rain that had stopped fallen only moments ago. Kalina was fascinated with Zafrina's abilities as they were similar to her mental manipulation. "If you weren't holding my hand right now, I could swear this was real," Edward informed Bella whose hand he was holding.
"I don't see anything," Bella said which caused everyone to look at her in surprise.
Eleazar drew closer to the couple as Zafrina's illusion disappeared. "Edward, you didn't tell me your wife is a shield," Eleazar's words made both Edward and Kalina understand.
"What's a shield?" Bella asked her husband who smiled slightly at her.
"The ones I've met are so different," Kalina spoke, looking Bella up and down.
This made Bella's brows frown in confusion which made Eleazer explain; "It's a defensive talent."
"It's why I couldn't read your mind, even before. It's why Aro couldn't," Edward further explained as Kalina noticed Kate making her way closer to Bella.
"You have a very powerful gift," Eleazer said with wonder before Kate grabbed Bella's hand, their hands lighting up from Kate's abilities.
While most would feel an intense electric shock, Bella was unaffected. "Oh, yeah, she's a shield, all right. That should've put her on her ass," Kate explained before she released Bella's hand.
"Or your voltage has been exaggerated," Garrett remarked which made Kalina roll her eyes.
"Maybe it only works on the weak," Kate challenged, holding up her hand and daring Garrett to try and touch her.
Kalina started laughing under her breath as Garrett reached forward to touch Kate's hand. "Garrett, I wouldn't," Carlisle warned which Garrett ignored as he touched his finger to Kate's hand and he instantly fell to his knees from the electric shock running through his body.
Kalina began laughing harder as Garrett stared up at Kate with amazement. "You are an amazing woman," he said to the Denali woman as they shared a smile.
Suddenly, Kalina picked up the sound of running footsteps before the sounds of the wolves followed afterwards. "Kalina, what is it?" Carlisle asked when he noticed Kalina looking towards the woods.
"Someone is coming," was all she said before she rushed towards the source of the sounds.
When she arrived, she saw two figures sitting on a high rock and were mocking the wolves below them. "Vladimir. Stefan. What are you two doing here?" Kalina snarled to the two Romanians who gave her a cheeky grin.
