When I regained consciousness I didn't open my eyes. I tried to listen what's happening around.
"Maybe wewe should kiss her? Your one glance made her faint, maybe a kiss will wake her up?" Jacob teased someone who, I guess, was Embry.
"Shut up" Embry's voice was anxious.
"Is she all right?" Bella was concerned about me.
"I think she's fine but maybe I should scan her head. Remember how she fainted last time? It might indicate a problem" Carlisle was going to scan me? It would be clever to admit that my faintness has nothing to do with my brain, but then I should mention the fact that it might be related to other things such as juvenile fascination with super hot werewolf. I sighed.
"Lilly? Can wewe hear me?" damn, what am I going to say? I slowly opened my eyes and saw Carlisle inayofuata to me.
"How are wewe feeling? Any headache? Nausea?" he checked my pulse.
"No, I'm fine" I sat up and noticed that I was lying on the kitanda in the living room and everyone was here. Just great! Like that wouldn't be enough Emmett and Jacob couldn't miss a chance to annoy someone.
"Hey, Embry, aren't wewe happy to see your lover with consciousness?"
"Maybe we should give wewe some time alone?"
"But wewe shouldn't look at her very intensively, she might faint again"
"Maybe sunglasses could help?"
Embry jumped on Jacob while I decided to teach Emmett some respect. I directed my physical shield and BUMP. I loved the sound when he hit the ground - I knew it won't hurt him, but maybe he'll learn to keep his mouth shut inayofuata time. I didn't enjoyed my victory for long cause soon I was crushed kwa sharp pain in my head. I squeezed my head between palms and leaned forward.
"Lilly, are wewe OK?" Carlisle quickly came to me and pressed his cold hand to my forehead.
"I think I fainted because of my lessons. I was too tired. Every time I push out shield it demands some of my strength. I wonder if I could learn to increase it..."
"Don't worry about it, honey. wewe just need to rest. wewe already did so much that it would be unfair to ask zaidi from you" Esme gently stroked my cheek and I remembered how long it's been since I hugged my mom for the last time.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault, I didn't thought wewe need zaidi rest" Bella apologized but I didn't want her to feel guilty.
"It's not your fault. I was too stubborn to take zaidi breaks. But now we know so maybe we'll be able to avoid it. I wouldn't like to faint in the middle of the fight" I joked. I could see how disappointed were Jacob and Emmett with no pretext to tease Embry and me.
"OK, if wewe don't watch yourself, we're taking this responsibility. Go to bed!" Alice commanded and I laughed.
"Yes, ma'am" I saluted.
The following few days passed very quickly. My training was zaidi and zaidi successful: I could extent my shield as far as Bella and I could block out specific thoughts. Alice, Bella and Esme didn't let me overwork though I protested very often. How can I become stronger when they don't let me train? They didn't want me to get bored during the breaks (or maybe was afraid that I'm going to practice secretly) so couple times I was sent to visit La Push - Indian reservation where mtu-bweha are living. I met almost all pack and must admit they're all were great guys. Except one who is actually a girl. I didn't like Leah, she wasn't very welcoming. Maybe she was like that because of the fight? There was a huge probability that someone might get hurt au even die during it. I just wished I could protect at least some of them. Embry included. If I wouldn't be so interested in seeing him again I would have refused other offers to go to La Push. We talked a bit and I hoped he didn't noticed how excited I was. I told myself hundred times that it's stupid to have a crush on guy who's a shape shifter, whom I might never see again after the fight and who is probably younger than me. He looked like 20-22, but I couldn't be sure - he was huge. I, on the other hand, was 25 and compared to Cullens au some of local girls not very beautiful. I had shoulder length russet hair and green eyes, I was tall and athletic cause I worked out often to keep good shape - you'll never know when you'll have to chase bad guy. But that's it. No stunning features like perfect Rosalie's figure au gorgeous Bella's face. I was too simple for such hot guy and I knew I shouldn't hope too much. Instead I decided to focus on training.
"Lilly..." Bella's voice was pleading "Just a short break" I didn't open my eyes and she continued "Just a very very short break" I still didn't paid any attention. I knew I have a few dakika before she'll drag Alice to persuade me. And Alice was a tiny splinter that can make wewe go mad. I focused on my shield, if I have a dakika I'm gonna spent it usefully. I slowly stretched my shield and pushed it towards window when suddenly I realized that I was wrong - my shield wasn't like stained-glass, it was so flexible that I could give him any shape I wanted. I imagined it like hand with many fingers - I stretched it forwards trying to grab something. I could feel every person in the house, I could feel their abilities - Edward, attacking everyone's mind involuntarily, Jasper, being attacked kwa all emotions, Alice, like a radar catching every possible variant of future... I was so carried away kwa this sense that I didn't feel anything else. I have know idea why but I knew that if I want I could do anything to their powers - I could increase them, completely take away au direct to someone else. I could control their abilities. I switched Jasper's and Eward's powers just to check if I'm right.
"Hey, what the..."
"I, what,Bella?"
Their voices sounded so confused that I let it go, opened my eyes and laughed.
"Lilly, what have wewe done?" Edward looked scared.
"You won't believe!" I jumped on my feet "Hold on everybody - I can control other people's abilities!" I almost waited for applause.
"How?" Carlisle asked disbelieving
"I don't know how, but I can do anything with it. I could switch them like I did with Jasper and Edward. I can make it stronger. I can turn it down. au I can simply restrict it" I didn't understood why they didn't look happy? They looked almost scared. Emmett was the first one to speak.
"Wait! If someone with special power will come to you, will wewe be able to use his power against him?" he seemed to be thrilled about this swali and I nodded.
"So, if Jane will come..." I realized his idea, I have heard about sadistic Jane.
"She will taste some pain she's causing to others" I ended.
Hope you'll like it, please maoni if wewe have any thoughts

This scene is very revealing because we can see the bracelet that Jacob gave Bella plus the bite mark left kwa James and finally the ring, too.
Remember that this ring is very special because it belonged to Elizabeth Masen, the biological mother of Edward, so it has a lot of sentimental value.
The ring is gorgeous, with tons of diamonds. It shows the true upendo that Edward has for Bella, and that he wants to spend eternity with her.
Of course, the ring scene in the book and movie is one of the most romantic and emotional of the Twilight series.
