Chapter 3

Annabelle POV

I slowly opened my eyes. I could sense Jasper's eyes on me, looking at everything I did. I sighed. I heard Bella gasp. "Carlisle-her eyes, they are golden!"

Annabelle, Annabelle, is it really you? If you can hear me, then it's you. If you can't, than it's not.

Yes, Jasper it is me. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

You…came back.

Yes, I told you I would, and plus, have you ever seen me break a promise?

Jasper's grin stretched across his face, but his emotions were kind of messed up. Confusion, happiness, relief, gratitude, curious…there were so many. "Carlisle, I'd like to introduce the family to my sister." Carlisle looked confused. "Jasper…we can't have siblings. We only have the same type of venom." Jasper nodded. "I know, but what I meant was that Annabelle was my sister when I was still human. Now, we're both vampires. So…that makes us siblings." Carlisle smiled. "I see. Annabelle, I'm assuming you have a powerful gift?" I laughed.

Does this answer your question? I asked, not wanting to startle him.

"Oh!" His eyes widened. "How do I reply?"

Simple. Think it, and then I hear it.

Oh…I got the hang of it now.

Good job for a first time.

Thanks. Hey, is this your only power?

Nope. I can do this, read minds, see the future, manipulate emotions, and feel emotions, telekinesis, track, and a lot of other stuff that we just haven't figured out yet. Jasper thinks I have every power that a vampire can have.

Us…meaning Jasper and you? When did you get changed and how exactly are you two related?

Yes, and for the second question, it's a long story. Why don't you tell the rest of the family first and then I'll tell you. I'm warning you, Edward might not take it that well.

I'll be fine. Thank you.
