This story is a sequel to my previous story the Entity. I absolutely recommend that you read that first but here is a quick synopsis in case you haven't read it and don't intend on reading it- SPOILERS.

The Entity was a crossover between Twilight and Beyond: Two Souls, there is a synopsis of Beyond in my last story. For her entire life Bella has been tethered to an Entity that she calls Aiden whom we later learned is her twin brother who was stillborn. Bella and Aiden have abilities which she inherited from her parents who have both passed away.

Bella grew up being raised by a government agency called the DPA (Department of Paranormal Activity), and later was forced to work for the CIA as a soldier. She was tricked into killing an innocent man and that caused her to threaten to run away if they didn't let her leave for a while. She moved to Forks Washington after this where a mixture of Twilight and Beyond plot happened.

The Entity ended with high ranking men in the CIA/DPA poisoning Bella attempting to put her into a coma but she was saved by Edward. It also ended with the DPA being devastated by escaped souls and entities, many people were killed and there was massive structural damage to the facility. The same thing that caused all this damage also separated Aiden and Bella, which also separated their abilities.

The story starts back up again two months later in the beginning of September with Bella dealing with the effects of the poison as well as learning just what she can do without Aiden.

Chapter 1

'Emmett, give it back!' I yelled from Edward's bedroom having just noticed my phone was missing after tearing his room apart. I knew immediately it was him. Stealing stuff from me and forcing me to attempt to retrieve it telekinetically was his new favourite thing. Unfortunately for me, I was pretty lousy at it.

'Make me!' I heard him yell from downstairs followed by his booming laugh. To my disappointment; Aiden was off enjoying his freedom somewhere, I could call him but I didn't want to become the girl who cried wolf. With him I could get it back no problem; without him- not so much. While we were separated we were still connected-able to combine our energy, I tried not to ask him for help unless I really needed it.

He had been tethered to me for so long; unable to make any choices for himself- I was glad to see him off on his own going where he wants to. Even though he could go wherever he wanted, he was still loathe getting too far away from me and could be at my side within minutes because of how fast he was able to travel. I let him be, I figured I needed to learn to fight my own battles now.

The one time Aiden was sure to be near was whenever Jasper was around. Jasper was the newest to the Cullen's diet and had the most trouble with it. Because of this Aiden went with the better safe than sorry mentality and hung around. For today though everyone except for Emmett and Alice was out hunting, and this was the predicament I found myself in. Everyone in the family was entirely supportive of me learning to hone my abilities that were so much more difficult without Aiden.

Aside from Aiden, another problem that continued to plague me was the side effects from what happened two months ago- both physically and emotionally. One of the only people in my life (and really, one of only two humans) that I have ever trusted betrayed me in the biggest way possible. He first tried to help to put me in a coma, and when that failed he shot me in the chest trying to murder me. Aiden subsequently turned his gun on him and killed him.

This didn't do much for my trust issues. But more than that were the physical effects, whatever I had been injected with had done some damage to my body and it was taking a long time to recover. Everything tired me out, whether physical or mental activity; this included practicing my telekinesis. I could tell that this weakness was preventing me from progressing with my abilities as well. The bullet wound in my chest was also healing but I was pretty sure that my healing had been slowed as well.

Emmett's new hobby wore on Edward who worried about how tired using my abilities made me. Emmett argued that it wouldn't get easier unless I practiced; because of this he usually waited for Edward to leave before trying again. Although it was irritating (as Emmett often was) I couldn't help but agree- the only way it would become easier is if I practiced and with this in mind I sighed and made my way down the stairs.

I reached the bottom and saw Emmett standing by the back door with my cellphone in his hand and a smug smile on his face.

'Please can I have it back?' I asked sweetly.

'Not a chance.' He laughed as he walked outside into the balmy 80 degree weather. I sighed again but followed him outside. I heard a small noise and turned around; Alice had followed me out the door.

'You aren't going to help?' my eyes pleaded.

She smiled, supressing a laugh 'not yet' she said- I grumbled. I walked into their backyard until I was 10 feet from Emmett and I stopped, facing him. He held my phone out on his open palm, smiling.

'C'mon Bells, you can do it.' He said, smiling.

'You know I can't! I haven't managed it yet.' I whined.

'But you were so close last time!' he tried to encourage me, but I disagreed. The last time we tried this I had gotten frustrated and launched the book he stole at his face. Quick, powerful bursts I could do- usually pushing something away from me. It was the slow, controlled movements that I had all the difficulty with, maintaining my telekinesis for any amount of time was much more difficult.

I blew out all of my breath and gave myself a little shake to loosen up before focusing all of my energy on the cellphone he held in his outstretched hand. For a few seconds nothing happened, I just focused on channeling everything I had into this small object nothing happened for a long moment. Much to my amazement it rose about 6 inches into the air after about 30 seconds. My surprise broke my concentration and the phone fell back into his hand, bouncing a little bit.

'You have to try again!' Emmett exclaimed 'That was amazing!' I could feel myself starting to tire a little bit but at the same time I felt rejuvenated; I closed my eyes for a brief moment to gather myself. I opened them and honed in on the phone once more. Once again nothing happened for the first few seconds until it stuttered and then lifted into the air.

I could tell Alice and Emmett were holding their breath as I began to slowly pull the phone towards me through the air. It dipped a few times but I managed to lift it back up until it was about three feet from me and it dropped- I lunged forward and managed to grab it before it hit the grass. I wasn't so lucky though, between the exhaustion and loss of balance from diving for my phone, I over corrected myself and fell backwards onto my butt.

I couldn't have cared less, I lay back on my back and held my phone up in the air- almost elated that I had done it as Emmett and Alice cheered my accomplishment.

'You did it kid!' Emmett yelled as he pulled me up off the ground and into a bear hug.

'Can't- breathe.' I managed to gasp out as he crushed me against himself, and he quickly loosened his grip as Alice pulled me into a much more delicate hug before she held me out in front of her at arm's reach and studied me.

'Let's get her inside before she passes out on us.' Alice said to Emmett as she spun me around and forced me to start walking back inside.

'Alice, I'm fine.' I said as I stumbled.

'Sure you are Bella.' Alice responded and pulled me up into her arms walking me into the living room and depositing me onto the couch.

'Jesus, Alice. That was a BIT unnecessary.' I grumbled as she walked out of the room, she came back in with a blanket and draped it over me.

'Don't be stubborn Bella; you know how much using your abilities drains you and you've never done as much as you just did before. Plus, Edward is probably going to kill me for not stopping Emmett. Don't give him more reason by not resting afterwards.' She crossed her arms over her chest; there was no way I was going to win this.

'Fine.' I relented, settling in. If I was being honest with myself I was exhausted- much more than I was willing to admit. Smug with victory, she walked over to the loveseat and sit down turning on the TV.

'Anything you want to watch?' she asked me.

'Nah, I'm good with whatever.' I said, too tired to care. I laid back on the couch and tried to watch whatever sitcom she had switched to, but I very quickly drifted off to sleep.

oOo

When I woke up it was dark out, it was movement that had jostled me awake and I mumbled 'Mmm?'

'Sorry to wake you love, go back to sleep.' I knew that voice- I smiled and opened my eyes to see that we were in his bed together. I readjusted myself so my head was on his cool chest.

'How long have I been asleep?' I asked as he rubbed my back.

'Apparently 9 hours.' He sounded slightly angry.

'Sorry…' I said.

'You don't need to apologize, my obnoxious siblings do. I assumed I could trust Alice but I guess I can't trust any of them.' He glowered.

'Don't be mad at them, they're just trying to help me.'

'Except that you clearly aren't ready.' He tightened his arm around me; he didn't mean it negatively, just stating the facts.

'Yeah I'll agree with that.' I said with a yawn.

'Sleep Bella, you need to rest.' Edward pulled the blanket up around my shoulders and I readjusted myself to what I thought was a more comfortable position until pain shot through me and I winced.

Edward held me tight and stopped me from moving 'Chest?' he asked quietly.

'Mmhmm.' I groaned.

'Ok, here we go.' He said as he very gently turned me so that I was lying on my back. I couldn't wait until I was healed; I was tired of not being able to hold him like I used to, instead being forced to sleep on my back most nights where it hurt the least. 'Better?' he asked me.

'Not really.' I sighed, annoyance obvious in my voice. He propped himself up on his left elbow to look at me.

'I know, it will heal love, you just have to give it time. It was a bad wound.' He said sadly. He still blamed himself for not stopping it from happening when we were in the condenser. We were so easily split up in there and you could barely see anything in front of you. It wasn't even remotely his fault but of course he wouldn't listen to me.

I grumbled something unintelligible and he chuckled 'Sleep Bella, I'll see you in the morning.'

'Night.' I sighed and fell asleep almost immediately.

This chapter is shorter than most will be, just a little intro. I have most of this story written already so please favourite, follow and review and I'll keep uploading!
