"That's incredible. I have never heard of something like this happening before. But, what happened?" Carlisle struggled for words. I was weirdly happy that I was able to read Edward's mind. It has always been what I wanted. Bella? Bella? Do you hear me? That surprised me and made me excited that Edward is trying out my new ability. I turned to him and shook my head. His topaz eyes widened and then his angel carved face turned back to Carlisle. Bella, answer Carlisle. He is freaking out. "I was thinking about how I wished I was able to read Edward's mind upstairs, and then I heard Renesmee. She was thinking to Edward and Edward was contemplating it and I heard it." I looked at the faces of my family. Jasper was blank, Alice was smiling and looked ecstatic, Esme was confused yet smiling, Carlisle was astounded, Renesmee's mouth was open and she was putting on her shoes, and Edward was reading their minds trying to figure out what they were thinking. I realized that I was able to know what the rest of them are thinking. I didn't know if it was through Edward or just them. This is fantastic! Why is Jazz so blank and stiff? - I never knew it was possible! - Could this be an advantage or a bad thing for Bella? This was incredible. How was I able to understand everything they were saying at the same time? I loved it. I was able to know what Edward felt like. I tried to focus on one mind but I wasn't able to. Edward was telling me about this a few months ago. It takes a long time to master your power. "Is it just Edward? Or can you read everyone's mind?" Alice asked this question. "It's everyone. I don't understand why it would all of the sudden develop though. Carlisle have you ever heard of this before? Is there any way we can know how this happened?" From a shield ability to reading minds. Maybe the Volturi has heard about this. I have no idea how we can determine the cause. "The only thing we can do right now is go over our options. Everyone sit down we're going to have a meeting." We sat down and I glanced over at Alice. Her smile lit up at me. Bella, this is so cool! Our family has had alot of unheard of events happen to us. Now this happens! It is so exciting. I smiled at her. She seemed so encouraging about this. "Thanks Alice." Edward grabbed Renesmee and set her on his lap while I focused on everyone's thoughts. Edward and Renesmee gazed at each other. It was beautiful to look at. Mommy, can I ask you a question? "Sure sweetie. Go ahead." She turned away from Edward and spoke this time. "Does this mean that you don't have your shield ability anymore, Mommy?" I couldn't help but smile with such adoration towards her. She started thinking about back when I was practicing my new ability with Edward and I mastered my ability when Renesmee was in my arms and was in danger of being in pain. She looked so much like her father with her beautiful skin, perfect shaped face, and beautiful hair. "We don't know. Nobody knows how I got this new ability. That's what we're trying to figure out right now." She shook her head. I don't like having to stay quiet most of the time. She looked up at me trying not to hurt my feelings. I'm sorry Mommy. "Ssh, sweetie it's fine. I'm sorry that I make you be quiet. You are smart enough to be included in our conversations." She giggled sweetly and sat down. We've got two mind-readers in the family now. Bella now can realize how much I love her, but I do not understand why all of the sudden her ability changed. Edward looked at me stopping my heart. He spoke breaking the silence. "What are some reasons this could have happened?" Carlisle focused and everyone started throwing ideas out. I hope that they will not try to change my ability back, because this was incredibly a lot of fun finally being able to read minds. Everyone stared at each other waiting for ideas to come. Edward had the most incredible mind. He has been through so much. The pain of being changed into a vampire, meeting Carlisle, accepting Alice into the family, trying to master his mind-reading ability. The most incredible part was meeting me. So many emotions and struggles mixing together and forming into love. I felt so wonderful being loved by him that I had to grab his neck and press my lips firmly on his. He looked at me smiling. There were no words to his thoughts. He only focused on me and remembered the first time he met me. He lifted me onto his lap and I laid my head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me. It felt like my body was formed for this position. Every part of me fit perfectly right where I was. I couldn't imagine living without him. I tried to focus on some more minds. Alice's mind was dark at the beginning. Of course it was, she never knew who she was. But she met Jasper and her entire mind lit up. She was happy and excited. Most of her mind was dreaming about clothes and outfits she bought and wants to buy soon. I had to glare at her when I saw the way she thought about my outfits. She thought I was sloppy and she was disappointed that such a pretty girl would hide it all away. Her eyebrows furrowed and she was confused at my angry expression. What did I do? Bella what are you so angry at me for? I raised my eyebrow at her and let out a chuckle. "You think I'm sloppy? But you think I am also pretty and with my outfits I hide it all away. You also think you need a nice green cocktail dress that will go perfectly with your new black heels." The words felt horrible in my mouth. Fashion not only was definitely not my forte but I was so annoyed with all the toothpick sized models that are only focused on looks. Well don't get mad at me! You didn't have to listen. I smiled at her and we both went back to focusing on our situation. Everyone was laughing at Alice's thoughts. "Maybe she's just the first vampire to have their ability be changed to another." Esme was the first person to give an option. But what she said didn't explain anything. "But why was I able to change it myself?" Edward was thinking about what has happened recently. "Let's think about what has happened recently. Maybe this has happened so suddenly because of something that she did." Everyone's thoughts formed together becoming only a couple things that I have done or been. Confusion overwhelmed all of us. Confusion of abilities.
