(LOVE U GUYS) so ill be on by thursday or the day after christmas.

I still haven't forgotten the dream. Its always hanging above me, like a dark gray cloud.

My driving lessons have been going quite well. Its been 3 years since my birthday, since I got my car, and I already drive at speeds over 100 miles per hour.

It really scared Demetri at first; he thought I'd crash. "Really, Demi, its an insult that you think so little of me." I laughed.

Aro, Marcus, and Caius had given up teaching me chess. I could beat them all now.

Aro was teaching me about the progression of humans since the beginning of time. He is my human history teacher.

Caius does the opposite. He teaches me about the progression of all mythical creatures, how they have evolved, what they are. The first mythical creatures were in fact vampires. There are werewolves, AKA Children of the Moon. He has actually had a frightening connection to them in the past. There are shape shifters. Basically humans who can change into other life forms. There is a Native American tribe, Quileutes, in Forks, WA who can change into giant horse-sized wolves. There is even a tribe in Alaska that shift into bears. There are hundreds of different 'make believe' creatures that exist. Ghosts, they appear to be human, they take over human bodies (A/N like The Host!) while the human is no longer present, or technically alive. There are zombies, who live somewhere below Earths surface, between the inner and outer cores. They eat each other. Ew. There are many that I can't even name, but I'll just say that every horror story, every fairy tale 100% true.

Marcus teaches me about how the Earth has evolved. He teaches me all about Earth's layers, natural disasters, unnatural disasters, everything you could know about Earth and the whole solar system.

I am also fluent in every language possible. So now Santi is my Geology instructor. I can name every continent. I can name every country. I can name every state, in the order they became territories, and the year they joined the United States.

Right now I'm going to shield training with Reneta. Nothing much has changed. It hasn't really gotten any better or stronger. It's the same as it was 3 years ago. It's starting to worry me. What if it stays the same? What if my power is stuck? It'll disappoint my family. They probably won't want me any more.

"Hey, Bells!" Reneta bounced over to me excitedly. She was always so excited for my lessons. She encircled me in a tight hug. She released me after her patented 'Hug n bounce' routine.

"Ok, Ren lets get started." I sighed.

I was about to cast a shield when I gasped. Suddenly everything was black. Then bright colors everywhere.

I was driving in the middle of an open space. It was daytime. I vaguely recognized the area I was in, it was where my driving lessons were held. There were hundreds of miles of open land that I could drive around whenever I needed a break from life.

I didn't have my shield around me or the car, what's the point when there aren't any obstacles or other cars that you have to worry about crashing into?

I was on my third lap around the field. Suddenly out of know where headlights zoomed up and smacked me in the face.

I tried to cast a shield around my car, but it was too late. The other car slammed into mine with a wrecking force, completely destroying my car, and me inside it. There was blood everywhere, the drunk drivers and mine. By the time someone found us, we'd have bled to death.

The picture faded and all my senses came rushing back to me.

I saw Reneta having a panic attack, her arms flailing about. She was jumping up and down, and high-pitched squeals were escaping her mouth. "BELLA! BELLA!"

"Calm down!" I hissed at her, "I'm fine. I just spaced out. I was remembering something."

"Bella! You scared me! Even though you were only 'spaced out' for like 13 seconds but…" I stopped listening. What was that? I was probably just… well; I don't know what it was, except the fact that it was weird.

"Oh!" I gasped. Reneta stopped bouncing.

I was planning on going for a drive where my speed wouldn't be inconspicuous on the regular road. There was a vast area of land about a fifteen-minute drive from the castle. I was going to go tomorrow. Was this a warning not to go? Should I go?

If that actually happened (and if my vampires didn't hear it or notice how long I was gone) it would be hours before we were found. We'd probably have bled to death by the time someone came.

I looked at Reneta's frozen form. "Hey Ren, do you mind if we take a break today and just hang out today? I'm not feeling so good."

"Sure, Bella. What do you wanna do?" I considered this for a moment, I thought she'd just say 'Okay see ya tomorrow, feel better,' and I'd leave. But I don't want to be alone right now.

"How about a movie marathon?" I asked.

She grinned. "Lets go!"

Eight hours, four movies, and 3 buckets of popcorn (for me) later…

"Ren, as much as I want to want to watch 'Gladiator' with you, its past midnight. I'm really tired. Can we watch it another day?" I yawned.

Ren gave me an understanding look. "Sorry, Bella. I lost track of time. I forgot you humans need sleep. See you tomorrow." She said, just before turning to jump off the balcony.

I climbed into bed, thinking about what happened during my shield practice.

I thought about it for a long time.

I'm definitely taking someone with me tomorrow. Probably Reneta. She has a shield too. Double protection.

I finally fell asleep at 2:30 am.

This is it. I'm going on my drive now.

Reneta is in the passenger seat. I told her what I saw this morning, and being the overprotective sister, she agreed to come and help.

We got to the clearing in 14 minutes. I was counting the seconds in my head. I was pretty nervous.

Hey, you'd be too if you saw yourself being squished.

I drove as fast as I could around the clearing.

I had my shield around the car the whole time. Reneta was rocking back and fourth in her chair. "Would you calm down. You're making me nervous."

She groaned. "If I knew you were going to act like this I would have left you home." I said, annoyed. So overly dramatic.

Then I saw the Headlights blaring into my vision. I added a thicker layer to my shield while Reneta started hyperventilating.

I saw him crash into my shield, completely obliterating his car. I climbed out of my car, though I was still in the shield, to check if he was alive.

"Reneta, come here. Can you tell if he is okay? Well he isn't okay obviously, but is he alive?"

She looked at me sadly, "Sorry, Bell. I heard his bones crunching. His spine is pretty much decenigrated.(A/N i know i spelled this wrong, but if you sound it out you'll figure it out. if anybody doesn't get it tell me in a review and ill find the correct spelling) I don't hear his heartbeat." I dropped my shield. His car would have blown up by now, so it probably won't. That's the only reason I still had it up.

"Help me make a false scene." I said quickly. I lifted his destroyed car in a shield, and climbed on Reneta's back. I put my car in another and brought it with us.

She ran to the forest, and found a tree that was almost 5 times the size of the others. I lowered the car carefully, and pressed it hard against the tree, to make it look like it hit it there, not my shield.

We ran back to the clearing to get leftover scraps. After Reneta had assured me that there weren't any left we went back to the fake scene and we scattered them in the appropriate places.

"Perfect. Hey, lets call the police and tell them we heard a crash. That way it won't be so long before someone finds him," I suggested.

I whipped out my cell phone and dialed 911. Living with vampires for nine years has made me a pretty good liar.

"911, what is your emergency?" A deep voice boomed on the other end.

"HELP, HELP! I just heard a crash in the woods. Me and my sister, we were taking a walk, and a car just swerved off the road into the forest. I think he's hurt!" My voice sounded panicked and shaky. It wasn't fake. I let my fear seep into my voice, Reneta wouldn't now the difference. I sound the same as I do when I want to sound scared.

"Calm down, Miss. Can you tell me your location?"

"I pressed the phone to my chest and whispered to Reneta, "Ren, take me to the road. Bring my car home and come back."

She ran us back to the road, my car trailing behind. Reneta jumped in and drove away at top speed.

I looked around. "Sorry, I couldn't find the sign. You know to tell me what street I'm on. Its called Vaile Francesco Ferrucci." (A/N that's a real place, I found a map of Volterra)

"Thank you, miss. Officers are on their way."

I hung up. The number would have shown up as private. They can't call me back. Or track it.

Reneta appeared next to me. "Hey, how'd the call go?"

"Officers are on the way," I replied.

Five minutes later cars with blinking lights pulled up at the side of the road. A small woman came up to us. "Hello, My name is Venetia. What are your names?" I glanced at Reneta.

"My name is Isabelle, this is my sister, Renée. Its nice to meet you." I changed our names, they don't need to know our real ones. I chose names similar to ours though, it's not much of a lie if you only change one or two letters.

"It's nice to meet you too. Can you tell me what you saw?" I gave Reneta a meaningful look. I made the call, and I came up with fake names. It's her turn.

Reneta sounded perfectly innocent, her voice sounded just like someone's who had just witnessed a crash.

I looked around, observing what they did. The K9 unit was there, helping to search for the accident.

"…he must have been drunk. He wasn't in control of the car. He was all over the place…" my sister and Venetia were still discussing what happened.

"Renée? Can we go home? I have to go to the bathroom, and shower. I have school tomorrow."

Reneta looked at Venetia. "Is it all right if we go home? My sister gets impatient. We are temporarily living here for my fathers business. We are both being homeschooled."

"I guess you can. Call the station if you remember anything else."

As we were leaving I heard someone shouting in the distance, "We found it!"

Once we were out of sight Ren started really running. When we arrived at home I was welcomed with a big surprise.
