"Chelsea is trying to break our bindings," Edward whispered. "But she can't find them. She can't feel ushere. . . ." His eyes cut to me. "Are you doing that?"I smiled grimly at him. "I am all over this."Edward lurched away from me suddenly, his hand reaching out toward Carlisle. At the same time, I felta much sharper jab against the shield where it wrapped protectively around Carlisle's light. It wasn'tpainful, but it wasn't pleasant, either.
"Carlisle? Are you all right?" Edward gasped1 frantically2.
"Yes. Why?""Jane," Edward answered.
The moment that he said her name, a dozen pointed3 attacks hit in a second, stabbing all over the elasticshield, aimed at twelve different bright spots. I flexed4, making sure the shield was undamaged. It didn'tseem like Jane had been able to pierce it. I glanced around quickly; everyone was fine.
"Incredible," Edward said.
"Why aren't they waiting for the decision?" Tanya hissed5.
"Normal procedure," Edward answered brusquely. "They usually incapacitate those on trial so they can'tescape."I looked across at Jane, who was staring at our group with furious disbelief. I was pretty sure that,besides me, she'd never seen anyone remain standing6 through her fiery7 assault.
It probably wasn't very mature. But I figured it would take Aro about half a second to guess—if hehadn't already—that my shield was more powerful than Edward had known; I already had a big target onmy forehead and there was really no point in trying to keep the extent of what I could do a secret. So Igrinned a huge, smug smile rightat Jane.
Her eyes narrowed, and I felt another stab of pressure, this time directed at me.
I pulled my lips wider, showing my teeth.
Jane let out a high-pitched scream of a snarl8. Everyone jumped, even the disciplined guard. Everyonebut the ancients, who didn't so much as look up from their conference. Her twin caught her arm as shecrouched to spring.
