What did I tell you? I got home from school and went straight to my computer. I know it sucks but...whatever.

I raced straight up to my room to let Jake know what was going on. He sounded happy that the number had gone up. I was appalled. How could he want to fight those bloodthirsty animals…not that I'm not like them but…James killed my mother…I need revenge.

"When are they going to get here?" Jacob asked after he laughed at my reaction to his excitement.

"We're not quite sure yet. Sometime this week." I responded.

"Okay. I'm going to call a meeting for the pack tonight. Do you think your…friends would want to come?"

I thought for a minute. "I'll talk to them about it in a few minutes."

"Okay." He took a deep breath. "How are you doing Bella? I haven't really had a real conversation with you ever since you became a…vampire."

I never told him about me and Edward. "I'm kinda sorta…engaged."

"What do you mean engaged?! To who?!" I heard something fall on his side.

"To Edward. I guess I forgot to tell you that we are dating now…but he proposed to me today. He said he couldn't wait for me anymore and he loved me since the first time he saw me. I told him I felt the same way…which I do…aren't you happy for me Jake? I'm finally started to have a normal life."

He didn't answer for a minute. "I hate to be the one to tell you this Bella but, you are far from normal. According to the whole town you just disappeared. You are a vampire and you are engaged and you are seventeen. Oh…and you have at least ten people who are coming after you. Do you think that is normal?"

"Besides all that…I actually have a family now." I heard him sigh. "I have someone who I can always count on. Someone who loves me."

"I thought I was all those things." He said in a sad voice.

"Of course you are Jake but…I haven't felt this…protected in so long. I will always think of you as my brother and I will always love you Jake. Even if we are mortal enemies. I'm sorry that it took me to loose my life and you to realize how much you mean to me. I will never forget you…once we move away."

I heard him take in a sharp breath. "You're leaving me?"

I didn't talk to him about this either. "I can't stay here. Everyone thinks I'm dead."

"I understand. I guess I felt it coming."

"I'm sorry. I love you Jakie-cakes."

"Me to Bella-bubbles."

I sighed. I was going to miss him so much. "I need to talk to my family about meeting you guys tonight. I'll call you write back."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye Jake." I pushed the end button on Alice's phone. Edward's was…in no talking condition.

I walked out of the room slowly, for a vampire, and down the stairs. Esme was reading a home magazine and Alice and Rosalie was at the computer. I saw Carlisle doing some paperwork on the back patio. Emmett, Jasper and Edward were no where in sight. I decided talking to Carlisle was the only thing I could do. I walked through the living room and felt Rosalie looking at me. I wish she would quit staring at me.

I heard a gasp coming from her direction. I turned and saw her looking at me with a confused expression. Alice looked at me and ran up to me.

"What are you doing to her?" she whispered.

"I didn't do anything. I was just wishing she would stop looking at me." I looked back at Rosalie and saw her eyes widen.

"My mind went blank when you turned away from me." She said.

"What does it mean?" Esme was right behind me and put her hands on my shoulders.

"I don't know. Carlisle!" Alice called him to the room. He appeared right by her.

"What's wrong?" He asked after he looked at me and Rosalie staring at each other.

"Bella was walking to go see you and Rose was looking at her walk by and then Bella turned her head away from Rose because she didn't like Rose watching her like that. Then she wished that she would stop looking at her and Rose's mind went blank." Alice said in one long breath.

"That's odd. Maybe it's some kind of control Bella has." He looked at me but I was still looking at Rose.

"Like another power?" Esme asked.

"Yes." Rosalie blinked and I looked away from her. "A very powerful power." He stepped in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders. I could hear his thoughts.

I think its mind control.

But I don't even know how I did that!

Maybe if you try to control it then you could use it against the newborns.

I'll try…but on who?

Me, of course.

But I don't want to hurt you.

I'll get over it.

Okay.

I want you to really concentrate on what you want me to do. Make me sit or walk or something simple. We can try something harder later.

I nodded my head and he dropped his hands. I looked into his golden eyes. I thought about what I wanted him to do. I concentrated on him turning around and walking up the stairs. I felt his thoughts and then I felt like I had the power to make him do it. I closed my eyes and focused. I heard a gasp and when I opened my eyes and Carlisle stopped climbing up the stairs.

"Did I do that?" I asked him as he walked back down with a smile.

"Yes. I felt you do it but I didn't realize I was walking until I was by the stairs. This is the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen. A vampire with four powers. You can talk to people through their thoughts and you can pick things up with your mind. You can create force fields and you can control minds. You are the most powerful vampire I have met."

He walked up to Rose and made sure she was okay. She ignored him and ran up the stairs. I heard a door slam. She was mad.

I felt Alice take my hand. She walked towards the patio and sat down on the swing.

Are you okay Bella. I can't even imagine what this must feel like to you.

I'm fine…just very confused. Why do I have all these powers? Is there something wrong with me? Carlisle said he never saw anyone with this many powers. Maybe there's something wrong with me…

Nothing is wrong with you Bella. You have a very strong mind.

I don't think I want to have all these powers. It's not right.

It's just fine Bella. You are the most powerful vampire. Think of us all together. I can tell when someone's coming and Edward can hear then…but you can stop them and make them think other things or make them do something…you are the ultimate weapon.

But I don't want all these things. What if I was to loose control and hurt one of you…or Jake…I couldn't live with that.

We have to practice. Make sure you're ready for Thursday.

What's Thursday?

When the newborns come…there's twelve now.

They're coming Thursday? That's four days!

It's okay Bella. You need to go talk to Carlisle. I'm going to go find the boys and explain things to them…and ask them about the pack.

Where are they?

They are playing on the forest somewhere. Silly boys.

Okay.

She let go of my hand and took off to find the guys. Carlisle was walking back to his paperwork. He sat down and just looked at the table for a minute.

"Is something wrong Carlisle?" I walked over to the table and sat down next to him.

He shook his head and woke up from his stare. "I was just thinking. I'm very amazed."

"I was coming to talk to you about the pack. They are going to help us. They are having a meeting tonight and they want us to be there."

"I think that would be good. Jasper was going to show us how to fight soon and tonight we could do it with them there. Sounds like a good idea." He flashed a smile at me.

"Okay. I'm going to call Jake and let him know." I turned and started to walk away.

"Okay…and Bella?"

"Yes?" I stopped and faced him.

"There's nothing for you to worry about. You're going to be fine."

"I know…but I can't help but feel scared…for everyone."

"Everything will go smoothly."

I nodded and went inside. I couldn't believe him. I just had this gut feeling that something bad was going to happen. My gut is always right.

I went upstairs and called Jake. He answered fast.

"What's up?"

"Hey, they said yeah. They were planning on practicing today anyway."

"Sounds good. We were going to meet on the reservation but Sam said we could meet you in that big clearing by the house."

"Okay. I have a new power!"

"Really? How many does that make now? Five or six?"

"No, it makes four. How does this sound? Mind control."

"Wow that is awesome. You are so weird…but I always knew you were special." He laughed.

"Carlisle said I am very powerful. I'm just worried about hurting someone I don't want to hurt."

"Don't worry. You're not one to loose control."

I laughed. "That's what Alice said."

"Well, as happy as I am for you, I have to go talk to Sam."

"Okay, bye Jake."

"Bye Bells."

I heard the dial tone and pushed the end button. I put it down on Edward's table and lay on the couch. I just closed my eyes and relaxed. It's times like these I wish I could sleep. I wasn't tired but I felt like I could sleep.

I don't know how long I was laying there when I heard his voice.

"You truly are amazing."
