━━━━━ EDWARD AND BELLA had picked Ellie and Thalia up from the airport, while Carlisle, Esme, and Jamie went to get Alistair in hopes that he would help them. When they arrived at the house Ellie climbed out, Gwendolyn ran down the steps and towards her mother who kneeled down to pick her up and hug her.
Astrid walked down the steps over to her friend as Gwendolyn was placed back down on the rocks. Ellie then hugged Astrid, happy to see her. The two pulled back from the hug, seconds later Thalia stepped out of Edwards car and looked at everyone.
Gwendolyn looked to her mother, while Thaila switched eye contact between the two. She closed the door and walked around to the other side. Ellie turned towards her long time friend while her daughter proceeded to hide behind her.
"Gwendie it's okay." Ellie whispered, looking down at her daughter. She watched as she looked up at her. Gwendolyn then moved from behind her. Thalia kneeled down and looked at the brunette, Gwendolyn walked forward staring at her.
Ellie watched as Gwendolyn grabbed a hold of her hand, the brunette tilted her head looking at her daughter. Shock soon fell onto her face. Ellie looked back at Edward.
"What is she doing?" Ellie asked, not actually moving her lips.
"It's her gift, she's communicating with Thalia." Edward answered.
"I thought she didn't have any."
"She does, I think she can heal anything as well, and that's why you didn't look like Bella. Your daughter was healing you."
Ellie nodded her head looking back at Thalia as she looked at her. "You weren't kidding." Thalia said, looking over at Ellie for a brief moment. "Can I show you something kiddo?" Thalia asked her.
Gwendolyn shook her head, Thalia stood up from the rocks still looking at Gwendolyn. Thalia then points over at the trees behind them. Everyone including Ellie turned around, looking to see Thalia leaning up against the tree. Gwendolyn and the others minus Ellie turned back around and watched the illusion disappear.
"I should've known." Benjamin called out, stepping on to the front steps with Max on one side and Tia on the other side of him.
"Benji, Tia, I'm so glad you two are here. It's good to see you again." She said, as the three walked to each other. It turned into a group hug and Ellie of course smiled at her friends. Ellie sent a wave to Max.
Max walked down the steps and over to her and Astrid, Thalia walked back over to them ready to be introduced. Ellie briefly looked at Edward.
"Could you take Gwendie inside?"
Edward nodded his head. Ellie looked down at her and shook her head. She then watched as Gwendolyn walked towards the steps. Bella and Edward followed behind him. Ellie looked at Max and Astrid.
"Guys I'd like you to meet Thalia, one of my friends. Thalia, this is Astrid Samuels, the protector or in this case my protector. And this is Max Uley, a wolf. Max, Astrid, this is Thaila." Ellie said, introducing the three.
Ellie watched Thalia interact with Astrid. Thalia then held her hand out to Max, however she lifted her eyes staring at Max as he looked back at her. Astrid then looked over at Ellie who exchanged a look with her. The two then looked between Thalia and Max. Ellie walked over to Astrid as Max and Thalia continued to stare at each other.
"What's going on?" Astrid asked Ellie.
"I think Max imprinted on her, and it just so happens that Max is her mate too." Ellie said, happy that Max had finally found someone he could be with.
"We should let them talk."
"Yeah." Ellie said in agreement.
The two turned away from Thalia and Max and proceeded to walk up the steps and head back into the house. Ellie walked around introducing herself to the other vampires that stood in the house. Some of them she had already known because they were at Bella's wedding. Eleazar walked up to Ellie, she sent him a smile and gave him a hug.
"Carmen, it's good to see you again." Ellie said.
"It's good to see you." Eleazar replied. "Your gift, it's a lot stronger than the last time we met."
"Well it has to be because of the change right? I mean stayed dead for a week, much longer than Bella." Ellie explained to Eleazar as they walked outside, into the warm weather.
"Ellie, you are more powerful than any other vampire I know, and I know somewhere deep down you already know that."
"I do. And I have a better understanding of my powers now that I'm a vampire. I just need to continue to practice with them to see what else I can do."
"Can I see your power?" Benjamin asked, jumping into the conversation. Ellie and Carmen looked at him and Tia.
"Uh yeah, but we should probably move away from the house."
The four vampires moved away from the house, Ellie knew that Gwendolyn was asleep because Bella had gotten her to sleep and Edward had informed her while she had been talking to Carmen. They made it further into the woods to a spot where Ellie thought would work.
"This should be good." Ellie said, looking at the three. "Um you probably should back up, you know I don't want to hurt any of you."
Ellie watched as they backed up a little, all of them not sure what to expect from Ellie's gift. She wanted to show them the first thing she had shown Jacob, but she decided she would do that last. She held her hands to her sides and closed her eyes focusing on her powers. Blue telekinetic orbs appeared on her palms.
Ellie moved her hands together connecting the telekinetic orbs together. She moved her hand forward, throwing the orb into one of the trees. Carmen, Benjamin and Tia looked at the tree to see the destruction it had left. Ellie then heard something coming up behind her, the brunette turned around and threw her hands forward.
The brunette didn't realize that it had been Jacob, she accidently pushed him into the ground. Ellie brought her hand up to her mouth realizing it was Jacob. Benjamin laughed at Ellie's reaction to what she had done. The brunette ran over to Jacob helping him off the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ellie asked, as Jacob stood up and shook everything off him.
"Yeah, I'm great. Remind me not to walk up on you again." Jacob told her.
"I'm so sorry, I really had no idea it was you."
"It's all right. You're not the first vampire to knock me to the ground."
"Okay. I'm gonna go check on my daughter."
With those words she turned around and headed back to the house. Benjamin, Tia, Carmen and Jacob eventually followed behind her.

A/N: I just wanted to come on and tell you
that Thalia does have a Faceclaim, I added
her to the cast list. It just took some time to

to thank nataliaalianovas for helping me find
a faceclaim and I honestly might consider
making a book from for her. Let me know if
you guys would be interested in that. Anyway
