Bella's POV.
I looked down at my hands where the dagger had been placed and my jaw dropped open. It was spectacular. The dagger was no longer resting in my hands but was hovering centimetres above them. Beams of light were flashing and sparking around my hands and engraving themselves into the dagger. Tiny, delicate patterns were emerging onto the dagger before my eyes. It was as if an invisible laser beam was scratching into the surface. Sparks flew off it and tiny fragments of silver spun around it after being chipped off. It was purely magical, like something off a Disney movie I would watch as a child. It began to spin slowly around just centimetres still above from my hands. Nothing was holding it up, it was levitating.
Since the first day I met Edward Cullen I believed that anything could happen; that anything in the world was completely possible. Edward was so impossible that he made everything else seem achievable. Anything that is except this. How was it happening? I didn't believe in magic I kept telling myself. But the evidence was impossible to doubt.
I found tears streaming from my eyes but I wasn't upset. I was just so overwhelmed that something like this was happening to me. Looking down at my hands again the dagger had stopped spinning and was lowering itself into my hands once more. I was almost petrified of it touching my hands again now. I was scared of what I didn't understand. I didn't know how it could have done what it just did so I was scared of it. I tensed up as it touched my hands again. It lay there and I daren't move. Maybe any sudden movements would set it off again but that was ridiculous. It wasn't alive; it was a piece of metal. So why was I so scared of it?
I looked around the room to see everyone else's reactions. Everyone looked just a gobsmacked as me. Alice and Jasper were holding hands and had shuffled away from me trying to keep themselves at a safe distance away. Edward had done the opposite and had stood closer to me. He must have used all of his energy then to prevent himself from taking the dagger of me to protect me. Or perhaps he was just as scared of it as me. Esme looked astounded and Carlisle had pushed her slightly behind him. He looked unmoved by it. Almost as if he was expecting the impossible and when it happened he was unsurprised. If nothing had happened maybe then he might have looked shocked.
I looked at the three visitors stood in front of me. They all looked pretty smug with themselves but were also stood looking down at the dagger and seemed fascinated with what it was. Why were they so attracted to it? Hadn't they seen this happen before? They seemed to think it was pretty same old, same old when it first started.
I followed everyone's eyes down to my hands and the dagger which lay in my hands still. It was perfectly still and normal now. If some walked through the front door and saw us all there now they wouldn't see anything out of the normal and would probably wonder why we all looked so engrossed in a dagger. It was perfectly in scripted on now. There was so much detail on it.
On the handle there were tiny delicate raindrops that had been in scripted on. Also there were beautifully perfect leaves that looked extremely realistic. There was a semi-circle on the main dagger with beams coming off it; the sun perhaps? Also tiny diamonds engraved all around it, it reminded me of the stars on a clear night. It was so perfect I could sit there and look at it forever and never get bored. There was always something new to look at on it. A shape or a tiny message etched onto it that you didn't see before.
I wanted to stare at it but suddenly my eyes were set on the three again. Ebony was walking towards me hastily her eyes set firmly on the dagger. When she approached me she grabbed it out of my hands and examined it; staring deeply into all the beautiful carvings.
"Impossible," she whispered to herself. Edward's eyes looked at her instantly.
"What is it?" he asked anxiously. All of a sudden I was also worried.
"I have never seen one before in my life," she said staring at me.
"Seen what?" Edward yelled. He seemed frantic now.
"Sister, are you sure?" asked Arianna staring at Ebony her face full of disbelief. They were completely ignoring Edward's questions.
"As sure as the suns sets in the sky each night, this Bella is one." Ebony said. They sounded mysterious, they all understood each other yet none of us understood them.
All of a sudden without warning Edward leapt forward and pounced on Ebony pinning her against the wall. He growled at her and hissed through his teeth. Carlisle rushed over to him and tried to pull him off him but failed. It was Emmett that had to pull his brother of her.
"We're so sorry," said Carlisle offering Ebony his hand to pull her onto her feet.
"Tell me what you're talking about!" shouted Edward trying his best to release the grip his brother had on him but Emmett was too strong. Ebony stumbled to her feet and looked dazed. I really did feel sorry for Edward though. I knew he loved me more than anything and having to see me suffer like this must be his idea of hell. That's why I try to act brave, to try to stop him from suffering.
Arianna and Brooklyn were staring at Edward and then back at Ebony. They were trying to make sure she was ok but at the same time protect themselves from Edward.
"Tell me," he hissed once more.
"It really isn't anything for you to worry about. It's just we have never come across one before. She's just highly rare," said Arianna frantically.
"I won't ask you again before I rip your heads off. Now tell me!" roared Edward.
"She's an Elemental. She can control the weather, the elements. She is very powerful." said Ebony.
"What?" hissed Edward.
"As we told you before we have never come across an Elemental Strega before in all of our lives. It was just a great shock to us. We are sorry if we startled you," Brooklyn said regaining the calm in the room.
"Get of me," instructed Edward to Emmett. Emmett immediately released the grip he had on Edward yet still stayed close to him.
Edward looked over to me. I didn't feel too fazed about being a rare type of Strega. It was as if now I had found out I was something so unique that just being a unique version of something unique in itself wasn't such a big thing. I thought through my last thought in my head trying to make some sense of it.
Ebony walked over to me and put the dagger back into my hands and placed the box on my knee. I instinctively put the dagger into the box and closed it.
"We have something else for you," said Brooklyn reaching into her bag once more and pulling out an old book. She pasted it to Arianna who skipped gracefully over to me and place it in my hands.
"This is for you, keep it safe." She said to me and walked back across the room. The book looked ancient but was long and thick. Opening it up it was all hand written and the paper inside was thick and rigid. The front cover was beautifully decorated and had solid silver corner pieces. There was a gold lock on the book which was left open.
"What it is?" I asked confused.
"You will see." said Ebony walking backwards towards the door. Arianna and Brooklyn followed her and they were almost out of the door when Edward shouted out.
"Oi, you can't just leave completely with us as confused as we are now!"
Ebony turned around to face us and smiled.
"Oh, we will be back. You need some time alone we think." she said and walked out of the door. Arianna and Brooklyn followed her. Soon they were gone.
Edward looked down at me.
"It'll be fine love," he said to me and hugged me tight.
"I love you," I whispered to him and looked down at the book. So much I have to live up to now. I needed to see Charlie again though. I needed to talk to him; I needed my family with me now. I never thought I would say this but Edward wasn't enough. I needed Charlie as well.
A/N- Ahh another chapter gone :) So next chapter Charlie will be reintroduced and more about the 'book' will be revealed. So you're going to have to keep reading.
A/N- And please, please, please review. I don't want to write at the bottom like 5 reviews I update in one week, 10 reviews I update in a day etc. I think that's just a crap way to get reviews to be honest (no offence if you do write that) but I do honestly write more when people review because you know people want to read it so it eggs you on to write more and quicker :) So please press that little button :)
