Chapter 13:

Bella POV

Damn I was sore. The sun hadn’t even finished rising yet and my body had woken me up, bitching about the pain I placed on it. I understood that although the bracelet would heal me, it did have its limits. I was beginning to discover those limits. I was not bruised but I hurt all over.

Still though. It was worth it. I kept my eyes closed and thought back to the events of last night.

The growling. The tearing at my skin. The teeth. The anger and lust caused by battle. The adrenalin. The nails running over my skin. The pounding of my heart. My out of control breathing. Flipping, being thrown to the ground…

Yes making love to Jacob last night was absolutely worth the soreness I felt today. The newborn army I destroyed may have had something to do with the way I was feeling but it was mostly Jake. Damn he was feral last night. I really thought a few times he may phase. That would have been interesting. I would have had to hit him over the nose with a newspaper or a tree. That’s not happening.

I peaked under my covers and saw I was wrong. I had bruises. Feint but there on the inside of my thighs, where his hip bones pound against my skin. It was too early for this. The four of us drove in at midnight to La Push. Jake threw me over his shoulder and ran me to the forest before I could literally step out of the truck. He kept rubbing my thigh on the way back. The closer we got to La Push the quieter he became and the stronger his grip. I knew it was coming. Big battle, lots of adrenalin, killing lots of vampires. I got it. I needed it to. But good Lord he fucked the hell out of me. I touched my back and felt something weird. It was dry flak… Damn it Jake! My hair wasn’t much better I’m sure. I sat up in bed, groaning. My abs were sore. Jake or the vampires? Probably Jake.

I learned two things last night with absolute certainty. One I wanted more of Jake. Much more. Two, I wanted to kill more vampires. A lot more. My time was coming. I limped to the shower and let the water run over my body for thirty minutes. Stepping out, I cleared the fog off the mirror and looked at myself. No evidence of bruising. I checked the insides of my thighs and saw no bruising there either. One thing was wrong though. My shiny right wrist was tingling. The familiar vibration that told me it wanted the real me to come out and play.

I suppose a vampire has decided to sneak in. I have to remember to act surprised. Chris said to lay off the attitude. A little is okay but if I act too defiant they may leave. I needed them to pursue me. Not be turned off of me. Of course I don’t think little Alice Cullen is going to care whether I spray paint go fuck yourself on her wardrobe. She has determined that I will be hers. But he had a point. I should probably lay off the Copenhagen.

Of course the sun just came up. Don’t have to be anywhere for a couple hours. I threw on a towel, bypassed my room and walked downstairs to my purse. There is my little round friend. I pinched off a dip, grabbed a plastic cup and walked back upstairs.

Opening my door I saw… Rosalie Hale? I was so damn surprised I nearly forgot to act surprised.

“Shit!” I screamed.

The bitch laughed. Good. Maybe she came here to kill me. I could kill her and tell the Cullen’s Victoria did it and Rose did her best to save me. She would be a hero.

“Good morning. I’m surprised to see you up this early considering how late you were out.”

“What the hell Rose?! The door not good enough for you?” I acted angry. It wasn’t hard.

“No one else uses it. Why should I?”

I was getting very annoyed. She thought she was playing with me? Why? This damn early? I hoped to have breakfast before I had to deal with these ass clowns.

“Get to the point. What the hell do you want?”

“Alice asked me to bring this to you.” She pointed at a clothing bag laid across my bed.

“She couldn’t bring it herself?” I asked, looking her in the eye.

“My you have changed. I suppose nearly dying does that. To answer your question Edward is not allowing her around you alone. He found out about her visit to you two nights ago. He was not happy.”

“You mean the one where she informed me that she would be turning me into a vampire whether I liked it or not? Do you know if I told Jake, your family would have a large pack of very large wolves’ intent on chewing you to pieces?”

“Yes. We all realize it. Carlisle and Jasper have been very worried. Edward has been worried Alice pushed you away. Esme… Esme stays worried and Emmett was looking forward to the fight. It was also noted that you didn’t tell your boyfriend which has given Edward a boost of confidence.”

Good information to have. She was certainly talkative.

“Okay. So you performed your chore. Why are you still here?”

“I wanted to talk to you.” She said simply.

“So what? I’m supposed to sit here and listen?’ I asked raising an eyebrow.

“You have changed indeed.” Rose whispered. “Please Bella. Would you give me a moment of your precious time?” She asked sarcastically.

“A vampire would know nothing about time being precious. But go on. The sooner you talk the sooner you can leave.”

She at least looked a bit taken aback.

“You are right. I heard you were sick. Nearly died. I don’t know about that. I do know what it is to die though. I am hoping to save you from the same fate.”

“Victoria?” I guessed.

“No. Edward and Alice.”

Okay. That was a surprise.

“What about them? They want to kill me?” I laughed.

“Yes. At least Alice does. She wants to turn you and I don’t know if Edward and Jasper can stop her. Edward… he wants you. He has come to the realization that the only way he can have you is to turn you. If you take him back he will turn you into one of us.”

“I know.”

That shut her up.

“You don’t realize what you are giving up. What you would be giving up for him.” She whispered.

“Let me take a stab at it. I will never sleep again. Never eat the food I enjoy again. I would spend the rest of existence craving the blood of others to survive. My family and friends will be gone. I will watch life pass me by, never really being a part of it because I am different. I won’t be able to have children…”

Wow. She flinched at that one. What is your story Rosalie Hale?

“I will live with the family passing each day in the same routine, going to high school over and over again, playing a human charade. Am I getting close?’

“I see you have thought about this some.” Rose said slowly.

“Yes. When you are dying you think about a lot of things.”

“So the idea of living forever must hold special appeal? Is that it?”

“No. It really holds no appeal for me at all. I like sleep. Even if I didn’t get enough last night. I like food. I like the idea that one day, I may be able to have children.”

“So run! Go! Go to La Push and stay there. Carlisle will never allow Edward to go there. Hide with the mutt! Just run Bella!”

Okay. Rose is getting a bit excited.

“I can’t.” I told her truthfully.

“Why Bella?”

Okay. Time to plant the seeds.

“Because I still love him. He loves me. I don’t want to turn my back on him. Not yet. Not until I’m sure.”

“And your family? Friends? He can never give you children Bella!”

“If you and Emmett were human and after you married, you found out he couldn’t give you children, would you leave him?”

“What…” Yeah. Suck on that Barbie.

“It’s a valid question.” I pointed out.

“No it isn’t! You are 18. You have your whole life ahead of you.”

“So if you were eighteen and you and Emmett were just dating and you loved him, but found out he couldn’t ever have children, you wouldn’t date him?”

“That’s… that’s not what I meant…”

“You are trying to project your missed opportunities and regrets on to me. I don’t appreciate it. I will live my life and make my own decisions. You deal with yours. Sound like a fair deal?”

“You’re making a mistake if you take him back.”

“Maybe. My mistake to make.” I told her shrugging my shoulders. A slight breeze and she was gone, moving at vampire speed. Of course she had no way of knowing that I saw every move she made. I don’t blame her for moving fast. There really is no graceful way to exit a second story window.

I unzipped the garment bag and found a blue dress. A dress? Is she out of her fucking mind?

Walking downstairs I realized my soreness was gone. My body was beginning to hum again. I really needed to start working out again. The stronger my body was, the stronger the armor was when it covered my body. The faster I was, the faster I was in armor. Still though, 3 hours of sex with a werewolf should count as cardio right?

I cooked breakfast. Breakfast for one but still, I was hungry. Who knew what my appetite would be like today? I would bet not good. After breakfast I cleaned up the house a bit and began unpacking my bags that remained sitting in the living room. Then it was TV. I wouldn’t go to the Cullen’s until around noon. I had the morning to relax. Except for another damn vampire. Who this time? Whoever it is must be pissed or dangerous because my bracelet was bursting to be set free. It was insistent. Something was wrong. My entire being was on alert.

“Where is Victoria?”

Oh thank God.

A vampire I can kill.

“Hi Laurent.” I mumbled, turning and backing away a few steps. He must have heard my heart begin to race. He smiled. He wouldn’t be smiling if he knew why my heart was racing.

“Isabella. I asked a simple question. Where is Victoria?”

“Why would I know? She has been trying to kill me. The Cullen’s… the Cullen’s and Edward will be here and he is very protective of me so you should probably leave.” I babbled.

“I had planned to meet Victoria this morning. She asked me to arrive at sun rise. I arrived and found a burnt down building where she had been giving shelter to some friends. The only scents around were those of your wolf friends, a couple human scents I did not recognize and your scent. I thought perhaps she may have taken you so I came to Forks to find out. Yet here you are. Was Victoria with the remains of her friends?”

“How should I know?” I backed up a few more steps. Now three steps to the side. If I had to hit him I didn’t want him falling into my coffee table.

“You were there. You and your friends. Victoria told me about the wolves. She said they protected you. Hid you for months. She was having difficulty even finding you and hoped I could have better success. I am very good at hiding my thoughts you see.”

“Laurent you should go.”

He was in front of me quickly, inches from my face. Perfect.

“Not until you tell me what I want to know.” His hand caressed my face. When he touched me I lost control of the bracelet. The power surged through me. I didn’t bother burning my clothes. This wouldn’t be a long fight. My glove formed a dagger and I shoved it into his belly.

He didn’t make a sound. A look of surprise colored his face and then pain. I smelt his venom burning where my silver touched him. I grew the dagger tip past his spine and out his back. He looked down at me with wide eyes.

“Victoria is in Hell, Laurent. Send her my regards.” I pulled the dagger up through his head, cutting his torso and skull in half. He was unable to scream since his head was in two halves. Now his legs were stumbling back. Oh shit. Not the coffee table.

I lengthened the dagger into a broad sword and sliced through his pelvis. The pieces of Laurent fell to opposite sides. A few more strokes and he was in more manageable pieces.

“Damn it. Now I have to take another shower.” I mumbled to his writhing parts.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Jake.

“Hey baby? How are you walking this morning?”

Oh that smug bastard.

“Pretty damn good. Remember that French Jamaican vampire I told you hung out with Victoria? He showed up this morning. He is in pieces on my living room floor. I need you to come pick him up and burn him.”

“A vampire… are you okay?!”

“Jake, did you miss the part about him being in pieces on my floor, sweetie?”

“No… but I mean… okay. But why don’t you just burn him like you burn your clothes?”

Jake loved that little trick, I thought with a smile.

“Because I already have to take another shower just to get his scent off of me. If I am around the smoke from his burning body I will have to wash my hair several times. Please baby?”

“Fine. I’m on my way. Anything else?”

Was there?

“Yes. There is going to be a garment bag with a dress in it next to him. It will smell like Alice Cullen. Burn it to.”

“With pleasure. Don’t suppose telling you to be careful would do any good huh?” he laughed. Funny the things you can get used to.

“I love you Jacob.” I told him honestly.

“I love you too. Can’t see you tonight? No way?”

I sighed. I really wanted to be in his arms.

“Let me see. But this won’t last long Jake. I don’t think it will. If it looks like it is I will find another way.”

“Do what you have to Bella. I love you. It hurts to be away from you for even a moment but I know this has to be done.”

“You have patrol today?” I asked. Even with Victoria gone who knew what other surprises like Laurent were waiting?

“Yep. You going to tell me to be careful?” he chuckled.

“No. I’m going to tell you to be a better killer.”

He didn’t laugh at that.

“I promise. You do the same.”

“Oh sweetie, I’m already a better killer than they are. I will let them know this if I have to. Keep your phone on you. If things go bad, I don’t want any of them getting away. I may need the Pack to go after them at a moment’s notice. I’m good but I can’t chase seven vampires. Remember Jasper is the one to watch out for.”

“I will have it on. I will give my phone to Embry when I am patrolling. He and Quil are patrolling now.”

“Okay. Love you.”

I ended the call and began my shower routine again. I threw a pair of acid washed jeans, a tight black tee and a pair of black silver tipped boots. A dress? How the hell do you ride a Harley in a dress? I thought Edward wanted me to be a lady? Speaking of I should probably spit and take this dip out.

I hopped out the window in my room to avoid getting Laurent’s stink on me. I needed to move before Jake got here and distracted me. If he was here with me there would be no way I could keep his scent off of me. I didn’t feel like washing my hair again.

I tried to enjoy the ride and forget the destination. I could do this though. Eyes on the prize Swan. You get the Cullen’s to take you in, Irkalla visits Cullen’s, you kill Irkalla, Nergal and any other vampires you can get your hands on and then live happily ever after having hot intense sex with my never aging werewolf lover who has ripped muscles and a gorgeous grin.

Piece of cake. What could go wrong?

Edward POV

“I can’t believe you did that Alice. I should send you away. She is probably furious at us because of you.”

“Number one Edward, you don’t send me anywhere.” Her thoughts focused on Jasper tearing me apart.

“Number two she will speak to me. I am the only one of the two of us who was completely honest with her.”

Now her thoughts flashed to the vision she had of the way I left Bella. The lies I told her. She will never forgive me for that. I sometimes wondered if it was possible that Alice loved Bella as much as I did. It would be impossible to love her more than I did. But obsess? Yes. Alice obsessed over Bella. Dressing her like a doll. Constantly being near her. It was a miracle I convinced her to leave the first time. However, by forcing Alice to leave, she seems to have taken her obsession to a whole new level. A level I had not seen before until we arrived in Forks and actually saw Bella.

“Just please stop pushing her. I realize you are ready to end her life but I would like to see if she can possibly love me again.”

“I am giving her eternal life. Has it occurred to you that if she were a vampire Jacob Black could no longer stand to be around her. Turning Bella would solve both our problems. I have my best friend and you have your only competition out of the picture. I have already told her I will do it. She couldn’t possibly blame you and she cannot stay angry at me.”

Alice grinned like a child who knew a secret no one else did. I knew the secret. She was insane. It had been happening slowly over the years. The obsessive shopping, the constant cheerfulness. The paranoia that caused her to look into the future half of the day to see what would happen to anyone and everyone around her.

Jasper must know. I wonder how much he influences her emotions? How much he kept her from completely breaking down. Or did he encourage it? With Jasper you never knew. The greatest argument Carlisle and I had ever had was over Alice and Jasper’s arrival. I knew enough from Jasper’s thoughts to know what kind of man he had been. The things he had done. Carlisle was convinced he was a changed man. Convinced that everyone deserved a chance at peace.

I admit since he has been with us he has not shown any of the tendencies towards violence he exhibited in his past. Still though. He always made me uneasy.

“No one will turn Bella against her will if they expect to remain a member of this family Alice.” Carlisle told her, walking slowly into the room with Esme, Rose and Emmett following. I had seen Rose’s conversation with Bella. She told her she still loved me. There was hope.

Before Alice could respond to Carlisle we all heard the sounds of a motorcycle coming up the drive.

She came. I raced to the door and opened it, walking out to greet her. I was a bit pleased to see she had not worn the dress Alice had bought for her. I still couldn’t get over the changes in her. Her darker straight hair. Her darker brown eyes. They almost appeared black today. She had a simple t shirt on and faded blue jeans. Very, very tight blue jeans. She dismounted the bike and smiled at me. A real smile. If I had a heart beat it would have stopped then.

My eyes took in the sight of her… and stopped at her right wrist. Her bracelet. Her lucky charm from the hospital.

Something about that bracelet made me very nervous. It was ridiculous. It was a priceless piece of jewelry, most likely. Why would someone give it to her? Did the nurse not realize what he had? And why did I feel such apprehension at the site of it. The stone appeared to be almost glowing, it was so bright.

/Edward, once the visit with Bella is done we need to talk about the vampire attacks. Not just Victoria. The towns that have been attacked across the US. We need to decide what to do./ I heard Carlisle’s thoughts. They centered around Victoria and this unknown threat that was crossing the US killing at an unprecedented rate. Carlisle and Esme had walked outside behind me. I simply nodded my head. There would be time for that later. Right now, Bella was here. She was safe and she was with me. That was all that mattered.

“Sup folks?” Bella blurted out.

Okay.

“Bella it is so good to see you. I am so sorry for Alice’s behavior but am grateful that you decided to come visit us regardless.”

“Of course Edward. I wanted to see… all of you. You caught me unprepared the other night. I thought it would be good for us to catch up.”

“Welcome Bella. It is so good to see you again.” Esme said, her voice cracking.

“You to Esme. Carlisle.”

“Welcome Bella. Please come inside.” Carlisle stepped aside. Bella walked beside me. I attempted to grab her hand to guide her but it moved too quickly. It must have been casual but still…

We walked in and Emmett grinned. He moved to hug her. Bella threw her hands up. I swear that stone just flashed.

“Whoa! No hugging.” Emmett stopped in his tracks and everyone else stopped walking.

“Please Bella?” Emmett asked quietly.

“I’m sorry. When I was in the hospital I had to take several medications. I don’t know what they were. I was too weak to care. But one of them made my skin very sensitive. So sensitive it made touch painful. Even the gown I wore burned. I went months without touching anyone. It has made me a bit shy to touch around others now. I hope you can understand. If not I did not mean to offend you and I can leave.”

“No!” Esme nearly shouted. “If you don’t want to be touched, you certainly will not be touched. Correct Emmett?”

“Yes. Of course. I apologize Bella.”

Bella smiled at Emmett. “Nothing to apologize for big guy. Just a thing I got. Don’t worry. I’m sure it will pass.”

Emmett smiled at that concession at least.

“You didn’t seem to have a problem letting Jacob Black touch you Bella.” Rose sneered. I truly hate that bitch.

“I still like to be touched in certain places and I promise you no one in this room is allowed to touch me there.” She grinned. “Besides if any of you touch me it will anger my boyfriend. I don’t like my boyfriend being angry. You all probably wouldn’t like it either.”

Okay. That wasn’t good news. I knew she told Alice that she was in a sexual relationship with Jacob but I had hoped she only said that to anger Alice. Apparently that was not the case. My God what if that dog got her pregnant?

We walked into the living room. Alice was sitting in a chair, looking very chagrinned.

“Hello Bella.” She said coldly.

“Hey BFF! How ya doin?”

“I see you didn’t wear the outfit I bought you.”

“I am so glad you have that super vampire vision and didn’t miss that.” Bella grinned. She was definitely different. Being purposely sarcastic to Alice? I realize Alice acted out of line but Bella would have forgiven her in the past. Or at least gone along to pacify her. No longer.

I looked closely at her once again. She stood up straighter. Her muscles. Her posture was perfect. She was not in good shape. She was in phenomenal shape. Especially considering she was near death not long ago. Many people never physically recover from Meningitis. Bella was stronger.

“Did you not like it?” Alice asked.

“God no. It was hideous. I burned it.” Bella told her.

No one moved. We were all staring at Bella with open mouths.

“I see you decided to stick with the dark hair. It really doesn’t become you Bella.”

“Actually it’s not hair coloring. While I was in the hospital my hair and eyes became darker. I don’t know why. The doctor thought it may be a side effect of the medication. I quite like it. It feels much better thinned out.”

“I don’t like it.” Alice said. I growled lowly.

“I don’t like your hair.” Bella responded, staring at Alice.

Okay then.

Alice finally laughed. “I thought the dress was horrible too on reflection. I apologize for not getting something better.”

Bella said nothing.

I noted Jasper’s thoughts above all the others. The others were thinking about the changes in Bella as well. Even Rose was a bit impressed. Jasper however… the bracelet made him as nervous as it made me. Perhaps more nervous. He would not stop staring at it. I caught his eye.

/I don’t know Edward. Something is not right about it./

I nodded.

/And Edward? I can’t feel her emotions. At all. I know we assumed Alice couldn’t see her future because of Jacob Black but I get nothing from her. She is a blank./

That was a surprise. Bella smiled at Esme and sat down across from Alice.

“So tell me what you guys have been up to since you left me without a word.” Bella said laughing.

No one said anything.

“Bella we are sorry about that. We…” Carlisle began.

“It’s no problem Carlisle. I understand from Alice and Edward that now I am wanted in the family as a permanent member. Is that right?”

“You will be a member of this family Be…”

“Alice shut up!” I said. I couldn’t help it.

/You think Jacob Black is being polite while he fucks her every night Edward? How do you think the dog talks to her?/

I glared at Alice.

“Bella would you tell us what happened?” Carlisle asked.

“Yes. I contracted Spinal Meningitis. It was very painful. I nearly died.” Bella said casually.

“What hospital were you at, if I may ask?’

“You may not Carlisle. My medical records are personal and you are not my doctor any longer.”

Carlisle was taken aback by that. We all were.

“Well Bella we were in New Hampshire.” Esme offered.

“Do tell.” Bella said leaning forward to place her chin on her hands. Good lord every time she took a breath I could see the outline of her breasts, wanting to burst through the tight shirt she had on. Bella used to wear layers of clothing.

Of course Bella used to be a virgin. I briefly wondered if Jacob Black was her first. I remembered the way she was dressed when she arrived in Forks.

Of course she was a virgin. Then Black got his filthy hands on her. I didn’t know how but I would kill him one day.

I sat and listened to Esme tell Bella about the house in New Hampshire and how empty it was without her. Bella took it all in stride, not giving away much in the way of emotions. Jasper continued to try to get a read on her. He had not spoken to her since the night of her birthday. I know he wanted to apologize with just me present. I wondered if she would give him the chance.

“I’m hungry. Esme would you have any food here?” Bella asked.

Esme practically fell over herself running to the kitchen. Bella stood up to follow and then collapsed. She hit the ground before I could reach her.

We all stood in shock, Esme running back into the living room. Bella recovered quickly. It didn’t appear she had lost conscience. I bent to help her up and carry her to the couch but she backed away with her hands up.

Right. No touching.

“I’m fine.” She said in an annoyed tone, standing up on her own.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to alert everyone. I still have spells where I feel weak.”

“Can I help Bella?” Carlisle asked.

“No. Actually Edward? Would it be okay if I took a brief nap in your room? Your couch is still there, right?”

“Of course Bella.” She smiled that beautiful smile and followed me up the stairs. I grabbed a pillow from Esme and Carlisle’s room and handed it to her.

“Thank you Edward. I will be up soon. Please don’t watch me sleep.” She told me in no uncertain terms.

“Of course not. Just say my name if you need anything, Bella.”

I stepped outside and walked downstairs to the living room.

“So she’s different.” Emmett said. He seemed a bit off guard. I believe we all were. Carlisle was the first to express his concern.

“Edward I have to find out what hospital she was in. No drugs used in the treatment of Meningitis should cause a person’s skin to burn nor change the color of their hair and eyes. Humans do not just change eye colors. Even darkening like Bella’s. Edward we have to find out what they gave her. And this recovery center she was supposed to be at? A nurse gave her a silver bracelet that she refuses to take off? I couldn’t even tell how she could take it off if she wanted to.”

“Yes. It curves to her wrist like a second skin. There was no locking mechanism. I don’t know how she could take it off without it being cut off.” Esme added.

“Did you see the jewel? That was no Sapphire. I don’t know what it was but it was no Sapphire.” Rose said.

“I believe we have more pressing concerns to speak about.” Jasper reminded us.

“Yes. Victoria.” I agreed.

“I believe she is building a newborn army. I also believe that the town massacres that have been occurring at an alarming rate have nothing to do with Victoria. They started in Europe from what I can tell and have worked their way across to the States and are moving west. Right towards us.” Jasper finished.

“It is a matter of time before police connect the drained bodies to our kind. We are at risk of discovery and the Volturi does nothing.” I thought out loud.

“Yeah. These vampires aren’t even hiding the bodies anymore.” Emmett agreed.

“I have tried to contact the Volturi. They aren’t… Aro won’t answer. No one there will.” Carlisle said, surprising us all.

“Carlisle! If they come they will learn of Bella! They will know that she knows!” I exclaimed. We had talked about this.

“Bella must be turned Edward. It has to happen sooner or later.” He sighed.

“And if she doesn’t want it?”

Carlisle was silent.

“For all our sakes, I hope she does.” He answered me quietly.

“She will. She will be with us.” Alice said.

“You’ve seen this Alice?” Esme asked excitedly.

“Alice hasn’t been able to see Bella’s future in a very long time, Esme.” Jasper whispered.

“Sometimes you have to make the future happen Edward.” Alice grinned.

I wanted to disagree.

But I couldn’t. The only woman I ever loved was upstairs asleep on my couch. She was being hunted by a sadistic vampire, possibly in danger from other vampires for her knowledge and in a relationship with a dangerous, impulsive supernatural creature.

I had to get her to take me back. I had to.

Bella POV.

Damn. Between trying to hold down my bracelet from breaking free and destroying every leech around me and trying to read their minds for information, I nearly didn’t have to fake a fall. It was a near thing. I needed time away. Being here was a bit better. My bracelet didn’t feel like an electric shock collar on my wrist. The bracelet talks to me often. Mostly soothing words. Be calm Bella. Ground yourself. But get it around a leech and it’s all about growing swords and throwing balls of white hot pure energy.

Now was the time to relax though. To set my mind free. Literally.

I counted my breaths. Clear my mind… I felt the snap. Opening my eyes I looked down at my body. Time to find out what they know. Sounds like a family meeting downstairs. Time to be a fly on the wall.
