Finding My Powers

From Bella's point of view

It had been one week since Edward had changed me, and I had still not discovered my powers. It isn't as if I wasn't trying to find them, goodness no, it was just… almost as if something was stopping me from finding them. A hidden, invisible, "force" almost that was keeping me from fulfilling my dreams, to be like the rest of the Cullens.

I moved out from Charlie's the day I was changed. It was easy, because Edward was right there with me, (Not like I now needed his help.) but I had mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I was moving into the Cullen's house, (Which had been my ultimate dream, other than being with Edward for the rest of my life.) but on the other I was leaving behind my dad after I had grown so attached to him.

I was now sitting in my new room, in my new home, thinking. That's all I could do. The Cullens had added on another room onto mine just for me to keep all my stuff in. I actually found this ironic and kind of unnecessary since: (1) I didn't need to sleep, (2) I would most likely be with Edward as much as possible, and (3) I didn't have all that much stuff anyway. I didn't keep my bed or any of my room furnishings because the Cullens provided that, and I didn't need a bed, of course.

"What's the matter Bella?" Edward walked into my room as I was thinking about the past few days, and I couldn't conjure up any truthful answers to his question.

'I'm really not sure…" I replied in almost a sheepish kind of voice.

"You're thinking about something… And you know how I hate not being able to read your mind…"

"Maybe it's just the fact that I still, after weeks of trying, haven't found out my power."

"Just be patient, it will come. As for now, I want to take you somewhere."

He took me out into the main hall and while we were passing everybody, they all seemed to know something that I didn't… Great…A surprise.

He took me out to his car and we began to drive. Since I had become a vampire, I stopped noticing how fast we would drive. I just enjoyed the scenery now that I knew as the love of my life. My mind began to drift back to those first few weeks of me being in Forks, but I was brought back down to earth by the sound of Edward's voice.

"Seriously, is something the matter? Your seem to drift off a lot more now that you've moved in with us." He reached over and put his hand on mine. "You know that all I want is for you to be happy."

"I know. It just seems as if I've had a lot more on my mind lately. I don't know why, but it seems almost as if all my thoughts are being mixed up. It's kind of hard to explain."

"Well, maybe when we get where I'm taking you it will put your mind at rest."

We started to slow down and he pulled onto a concrete drive that was almost hidden by the trees. I had never seen this place before, and I didn't even know where I was exactly.

We drove uphill for about ten minutes before we finally stopped.

"Here we are." We got out of the car

"And where exactly is 'here'?" All I noticed was an almost cleared path to the side of the drive, and that was apparently where he wanted to take me.

"A few years before I met you, I ran away from the Cullens…" As he continued to talk, we started to walk down this path. It was about a mile long, but it didn't take long since we were now both vampires. "…I ran, and ran, and ran some more until I finally got here."

We came to the end of this path and before us was a circle about five hundred feet around that was clear of trees. It was covered with grass, and rocks surrounded the perimeter. I noticed that there was a small river just out side of it. The sun shone down onto it, bathing it in sunlight.

"It's beautiful…"

"I still come here sometimes when I want to be alone. I've never been bothered here, and I've never shown it to anyone before." He led me to about the middle of it and we both sat down there. Our skin glittered in the sunlight, and my mind drifted to that one day when I first saw that…

"Bella, I love you."

I smiled as I got closer to him and said, "I love you too Edward." He moved in and we kissed. We held it for about ten seconds, but I could have sworn it was for at least an hour.

At the end of this hour-like moment, something strange happened. I suddenly grew a little tense, and out of nowhere a rock shot up in the air and landed about a hundred yards away.
