"No!" Without warning, my body instinctively launched forward, in an attempt to block Bella but before I could think, I felt my body being consumed in fire. Everything in me was burning and I felt myself buckling with the pain. It was the transformation all over again. I could feel the fire in every inch of my body. The only thing that kept me from screaming was knowing that Bella was behind me. I didn't want her to hear the pain that I was in, but I could hear her frantic heart. I tried to focus on her heartbeat against the burning. I heard her shouting, but I couldn't make out the words. I didn't know how long I was on the ground but all I really wanted was for the pain to stop and then it did.
I was gasping for unnecessary air and Bella was already kneeling beside me examining my body to see any injuries but the pain wasn't physical.
"Are you okay? What happened? Please tell me you're okay" she frantically asked. I nodded, trying to reassure her although I doubt she believed it.
Jane's power attacked the mind and that was something that I didn't want Bella to experience.
"That was foolish you know. Alice was right. You do like to act before you think but I would highly suggest you don't attempt to do that the second time around" Aro smiled with his warning and I looked at Bella with fear in my eyes.
If you wouldn't have jumped to block her powers like that, I would have seen that Bella was going to be okay... see...Alice though in annoyance at my impulsive action while showing me a vision of Jane's power not working on Bella.
Edward... don't worry. She's going to be okay. Alice assured me from behind and I stood up, followed by Bella.
"Jane dear?" Aro looked at his most prized guard.
"This will hurt a little" Jane warned, and her smile was now directed at Bella. I knew it wasn't going to work but I still waited for the screaming.
Eventually, I could hear was the curious thoughts of all the vampires around us and Bella's beating heart. I looked at her and she looked like she was bracing for the pain and then I turned towards Jane where her smile slowly faltered. Her thoughts were confident which turned to irritation at the sight of Bella not being affected. It was then that I let out a sigh of relief.
I told you. Alice thought.
Jane's smile finally turned into a scowl and a slow growl escaped her lips and Aro laughed maniacally.
"She is amazing indeed!" Aro exclaimed. He was the only one who was happy. The thoughts of the others in the room were more worried that someone was finally able to block Jane's psychic ability, much more, that someone was just a human.
"Yes, yes... she is amazing indeed. Shall we get this over with?" Cauis finally interrupted and my free hand balled into fist after hearing his thoughts.
I've had enough. The girl knows too much. She needs to be silenced.
"Ah! But show and tell is not yet over Cauis!" Aro spoke and I looked at him in alarm when his mind went back to our memories of Bella, when we found her and the many times we have witnessed her abilities.
"You see... it's not just her mind that's unique about this young lady. She is an enigma altogether. Is that right my dear Isabella?" Aro leaned forward from his chair. There was no response.
"Say, have you already regained your memories my dear?" Cauis raised one eyebrow at Aro's line of questioning.
"Bits and pieces but nothing closer to who I really am" Bella answered and I looked at her now with interest. Where their new memories that resurfaced from the time that I left?
