〃Stay away from us; Kate;〃 I warned her。
〃No。〃 She began stalking forward。 She smiled like a hunter cornering her prey。

I shifted Renesmee so that she was clinging to my back; still backing away at a pace that matched
Kate"s。 Now my hands were free; and if Kate wanted to keep her hands attached to her wrists; she"d
better keep her distance。
Kate probably didn"t understand; never having known for herself the passion of a mother for her child。
She must
not have realized just how far past too far she"d already gone。 I was so furious that my vision took on a
strange reddish tint; and my tongue tasted like burning metal。 The strength I usually worked to keep
restrained flowed through my muscles; and I knew I could crush her into diamondhard rubble if she
pushed me to it。
The rage brought every aspect of my being into sharper focus。 I could even feel the elasticity of my
shield more exactly now—feel that it was not a band so much as a layer; a thin film that covered me from
head to toe。 With the anger rippling through my body; I had a better sense of it; a tighter hold on it。 I
stretched it around myself; out from myself; swaddling Renesmee pletely inside it; just in case Kate
got past my guard。
Kate took another calculated step forward; and a vicious snarl ripped up my throat and through my
clenched teeth。
〃Be careful; Kate;〃 Edward cautioned。
Kate took another step; and then made a mistake even someone as inexpert as I could recognize。 Just a
short leap away from me; she looked away; turning her attention from me to Edward。
Renesmee was secure on my back; I coiled to spring。
〃Can you hear anything from Nessie?〃 Kate asked him; her voice calm and easy。
Edward darted into the space between us; blocking my line to Kate。
〃No; nothing at all;〃 he answered。 〃Now give Bella some space to calm down; Kate。 You shouldn"t goad
her like that。 I know she doesn"t seem her age; but she"s only a few months old。〃
〃We don"t have time to do this gently; Edward。 We"re going to have to push her。 We only have a few
weeks; and she"s got the potential to—〃
〃Back off for a minute; Kate。〃
Kate frowned but took Edward"s warning more seriously than she"d taken mine。
Renesmee"s hand was on my neck; she was remembering Kate"s attack; showing me that no harm was
meant; that Daddy was in on it。。。。
This did not pacify me。 The spectrum of light I saw still seemed tainted with crimson。 But I was in better
control of myself; and I could see the wisdom of Kate"s words。 The anger helped me。 I would learn
faster under pressure。
That didn"t mean I liked it。

〃Kate;〃 I growled。 I rested my hand on the small of Edward"s back。 I could still feel my shield like a
strong; flexible sheet around Renesmee and me。 I pushed it farther; forcing it around Edward。 There was
no sign of a flaw in the stretchy fabric; no threat of a tear。 I panted with the effort; and my words came
out sounding breathless rather than furious。 〃Again;〃 I said to Kate。 〃Edward only。〃
She rolled her eyes but flitted forward and pressed her palm to Edward"s shoulder。
〃Nothing;〃 Edward said。 I heard the smile in his voice。
〃And now?〃 Kate asked。
〃Stillnothing。〃
〃And now?〃 This time; there was the sound of strain in her voice。
〃Nothing at all。〃
Kate grunted and stepped away。
〃Can you see this?〃 Zafrina asked in her deep; wild voice; staring intently at the three of us。 Her English
was strangely accented; her words pulling up in unexpected places。
〃I don"t see anything I shouldn"t;〃 Edward said。
〃And you; Renesmee?〃 Zafrina asked。
Renesmee smiled at Zafrina and shook her head。
My fury had almost entirely ebbed; and I clenched my teeth together; panting faster as I pushed out
against the elastic shield; it felt like it was getting heavier the longer I held it。 It pulled back; dragging
inward。
〃No one panic;〃 Zafrina warned the little group watching me。 〃I want to see how far she can extend。〃
There was a shocked gasp from everyone there—Eleazar; Carmen; Tanya; Garrett; Benjamin; Tia;
Siobhan; Maggie—everyone but Senna; who seemed prepared for whatever Zafrina was doing。 The
others" eyes were blank; their expressions anxious。
〃Raise your hand when you get your sight back;〃 Zafrina instructed。 〃Now; Bella。 See how many you
can shield。〃
My breath came out in a huff。 Kate was the closest person to me besides Edward and Renesmee; but
even she was about ten feet away。 I locked my jaw and shoved; trying to heave the resisting; resilient
safeguard farther from myself。 Inch by inch I drove it toward Kate; fighting the reaction that fought back
with every fraction that I gained。 I only watched Kate"s anxious expression while I worked; and I
groaned quietly with relief when her eyes blinked and focused。 She raised her hand。
〃Fascinating!〃 Edward murmured under his breath。 〃It"s like oneway glass。 I can read everything they"re
thinking; but they can"t reach me behind it。 And I can hear Renesmee; though I couldn"t when I was on
the outside。 I"ll bet Kate could shock me now; because she"s underneath the umbrella。 I still can"t hear
you。。。 hmmm。 How does that work? I wonder if。。。〃

He continued to mumble to himself; but I couldn"t listen to the words。 I ground my teeth together;
struggling to force the shield out to Garrett; who was closest to Kate。 His hand came up。
〃Very good;〃 Zafrina plimented me。 〃Now—〃
But she"d spoken too soon; with a sharp gasp; I felt my shield recoil like a rubber band stretched too far;
snapping back into its original shape。 Renesmee; experiencing for the first time the blindness Zafrina had
conjured for the others; trembled against my back。 Wearily; I fought back against the elastic pull; forcing
the shield to include her again。
〃Can I have a minute?〃 I panted。 Since I"d bee a
