*they all demonstrate their powers*
Rosalie- You do have a hell load of powers.
Bella- I know.
Carlisle- I never thought that you can copy powers.
Jasper- Or have all the shields.
Rosalie- Or be invisible.
Carlisle- There goes my theory.
Emmett- What theory?
Alice- Carlisle had a theory, he thought you get powers by being what you're good at when you're human.
Bella- *silently laughs*
Edward- What?
Bella- He got it right. He got it exactly right.
Carlisle- I don't think you can be invisible as a human.
Bella- Not physically. But when I was in school, I was unseen by everyone. I was a nobody, so that's how I got my invisibility. I can copy powers, because I used to copy what celebrities were wearing or how my favourite celebrity would act. As for the shields… I don't really know how I got those.
Emmett- Maybe because you'd always keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. And never let yourself get hurt.
Bella- Maybe.
Alice- Maybe? You wouldn't even let us in on your life.
Bella- Not true. I'd let you in. I just wouldn't tell you what was going on.
Emmett- Exactly.
-The next day; 3:00 AM-
Bella- *extremely quiet; even for a vampire* (no one's there) *walks out goes on top of the mountain*
-On the mountain-
Bella- *sitting down looking at the stars*
Edward- *behind her* Can I join you?
Bella- *looks at him* Sure. *Looks back at the stars*
Edward- Wow. Your brother and Alice were right.
Bella- What?
Edward- You keep things to yourself.
Bella- I'm a vampire that really loves to keep things to herself.
Edward- Why?
Bella- When your dad tries to kill you, you really have to. I got used to it.
Edward- He tried to kill you?
Bella- He tried and he's still trying.
Edward- How many times?
Bella- 50 times too many.
Edward- 50?
Bella- 50 that I started to keep track of. But before that I think 40. So total of 90 times.
Edward- How long?
Bella- Longer than I'm proud of, Edward. Longer than I'm proud of.
Edward- Where's your mom in this?
Bella- My mom? I wasn't asked that question in years. She died when I was 5, Alice was 3, and so was Emmett.
Edward- You're the eldest? But Alice and Emmett seem so much more mature than you.
Bella- I was alone for so long. Too long. I got lost. Then, when someone new comes into my world… it just frightens me.
Edward- That is the 2nd longest thing I have ever heard you say.
Bella- *laughs* *stops*
Edward- What?
Bella- I haven't laughed it in ages! And I just remembered why, I hate my laugh.
Edward- I think it's cute.
Bella- Thanks. *smiles at him*
Edward- How come Emmett acts older than you too?
Bella- He met a lot of vampires, he had no secrets to keep. I do. I was alone, for my whole vampire life. I was supposed to keep them safe.
Edward- Alice and Emmett?
Bella- Yes.
Edward- What happened?
Bella- The night I was turned, whoever turned me, abandoned me before I even woke up.
Edward- How did you survive? How did you teach yourself how to hunt?
Bella- I just let myself go when I was hunting, but I made sure no human was there. I have huge self-control.
Edward-Oh.
Bella- We should go back. They'll be looking for us.
Edward- Can't you smell that?
Bella- Human blood? Of course I can!
Edward- And you're not going to even care?
Bella- Huge self-control remember? But really, we should go. They'll notice we're gone. They're going to think we ran away and found "love".
Edward- You going first?
Bella- I don't know. I don't know if I should even go back. I really will be trouble.
Edward- We're always open.
Bella- I'll keep that in mind.
Edward- *leaves*
Bella- *passes by her hidden cottage to see a note; drops it* Oh… my god.
?- Miss Swan.
Bella- *turns around* No!
?- Take her away!
?- *gets her unconscious and takes her away*
I hope you enjoyed it!
