Chapter 4:The New Life
It scared me. It all came it a rush. I could feel it. I felt it coursing me, it wasn't anger. It wasn't happiness. It was nothing.
I didn't turn into a wolf. I communicated like one. I felt it all. I heard every person's thought's in the world. I heard it all. It gave me a head ache that had my writhing on the floor in pain. Bliss cried, she could see my mind, and it hurt her. I tried my hardest to block it out, it took a while, but it worked. I needed to know. "Can you read my mind?" I asked Edward. "No," he said. I smiled. "I can read yours, I can read everyone's."
I felt emotions after I pushed past all the thoughts. I felt the shock Edward, Carlisle and Rosalie felt.(Rosalie because Bella was prettier than her, I know, wow.) I felt Alice's happiness for me, and the happiness for herself. I felt the pure love coming from Esme, it was so powerful it almost knocked me down. I felt the sisterly love and baffling feeling coming from Jasper. I felt the happiness coming from Emmett, that would make me laugh, I could tell. I felt every emotion. I wanted to test something. I tried make them all happy, and Rosalie's thought's quickly flickered to Jasper, I laughed at how much this must annoy them. "It's not Jasper, that was me." I said, and smiled.
Finally, I saw something in the future. What was with me? I had Alice's power, Jasper's, and Edward's. And now that I thought about it, I wasn't thirsty. I wasn't hungry. Crap. Carlisle. I needed to tell them. "Umm... hey, I have, like, a whole bunch of crap going on in my head, and I think it's... my power?" I told Bliss-the only access into my mind-and Edward gasped. "Yeah," I said.
"So, explain to me again, Edward?" Carlisle said. Everyone else nodded.
"Bella was affected by all of these power's at the time, and the werewolf blood that tainted the venom was passed on to her. So, she was twice as perceptive, so she picked up the power's with an unseen seventh sense. It's unreal in so many way's, but so very plausible in so many other's," he said. I was begging to understand it. In sum, I was graced with a seventh sense and picked up all the power's that were so close. And, as Edward had said, you always bring over your most powerful feature, and mine was perceptiveness. So that seventh sense was heightened. I was unreal, and so was my baby. "Can I please see my mom?" I asked. Carlisle thought about it and asked, "Do you feel hungry? Thirsty?" It was a simple answer, "No,"
"Then you may go." he smiled.
Me and Edward took off in my new car he had purchased. It was an '08 red Viper. I got to drive. I wasn't wreckles, and I realized I liked the speed, it felt good as a vampire. Bliss was in Edward's arm's. They went together perfectly. Carmel and vanilla. Vampire and vampire. Father and daughter. Bliss and Edward. No matter how you pit it, they fit. I was also glad that she was vampire, so he couldn't take a hold of her, she was a mere baby and inherited my scent. A remarkable thing, Edward had called it. We were a family.
"Edward?" I asked, my voice wasn't velvet, but a rich creamy, weightless sound.
"Yes, love?"
"Would you... adopt her? Just so it's legal that your her guardian, too?" I really wanted us to all have the Cullen last name. Bliss Black. Eww. Bliss Cullen-you had to admit, it had a nice ring.
He laughed, "I already did," I laughed, too.
"Oh. I didn't know that," I laughed. We drove in silence, not an awkward kind, but the kind that just made you happy to be there. Just an hour after the sun was completely in the sky we were there. At my house. I felt home, and so did Bliss. I knocked. My mom came to the door. She vaguely recognized me. I wasn't hungry nor thirsty around her, and neither was Bliss. I explained what happened and she was understanding until she heard that I should be wanting to slaughter every human in sight. "Mom, I said I should be wanting to. I'm not at all. That's what's weird." and she went back into he regular self.
"You... look so different. Your hair, I can still see brown tint's in it," she sighed. "The same with your eyes," she started "I can still tell behind the red and green mixture, their brown. The deep chocolate brown I know. That's how I recognized you." she said, smiling.
"Mom, can I show you something? No one else besides the rest of the Cullen's and me know about it," I said, deciding not to mention werewolves.
"Of course, honey." she said, touching my shoulder and it scared her. She must be used to me being warm. She looked off into the distance. She touched my face. "Wow," she said, "Your body is freezing, yet your face is still natural," My soft skin was still warm. It was nice to know. I laughed and pulled her into the backyard. I told her to stay under the eve while we walked out into the sunshine. The moment we stepped into it, we sparkled. One of the only thing's normal-for a vampire, that is-about me. She stared in awe of me, Edward, and Bliss.
"Mom?" I asked.
"Yeah?" she asked as a reply, her voice screeching.
"We have to give her a funeral, so they don't expect her to get any bigger and we won't have to take her to the doctor's. Edward is... older than us, and smarter, so he can home school her. And mine and his friend's will know, not that she's a vampire, but that she really isn't dead." Renée understood completely. We would have the "funeral" in two weeks.
I kissed my mom goodbye and we left. While in the car y cell phone rang. I knew right away with the mind reading thing. Jake. This would start the war. I answered and tried to sound like my old self. "Hello?" I said. He knew something was different in my voice. Crap. "Are you...?" he asked. I hesitated.
"Are you or not?!" he asked again, getting irritated.
"Jake, come see me at my house, I'm there, come now." we had just reached home. Charlie's. He knew what I meant and we both hung up.
He was there in less than thirty seconds. He stared at me. He knew something was weird. "What happened to you?" he asked. He didn't even think I was a vampire.
"Well... you know how I was pregnant? And I got married and went on the honeymoon?" I asked. He nodded, not comprehending. I made him calm. I knew.
"Well, when... the honey moon happened... instead of... it was venom, and I was pregnant, and it was going to be a werewolf. And it was infected with the venom. The venom spread." he understood. He was sad. They didn't break the rules, he thought to himself, And she's one of them. They didn't break the rules and she's one of them!
"They didn't?" I asked. Shit, you can read mind's, too? He asked me. I nodded and Edward did, too. I remember something. Jake had said a long time ago that they had to bite someone to break the treaty. That's why we hadn't yet been attacked by him. Do you both remember the treaty rules? He asked, hoping we didn't. We nodded and his face fell. I stared at him. "Umm... would you like to see the baby?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't reject her. His thought's brightened. Yes.
I brought her out. He looked at her. Is she...? he asked me. "Yes," I sighed. His forehead creased in confusion. "She doesn't smell like it. And neither do you," he said. I laughed, "Well, she's still part werewolf and I'm part of it, too. Remember? I got the venom from her, and it had werewolf in it. So," I said, waving a hand over me. He laughed. "Oh! Do you... have fang's?" I asked.
"Umm... not while I'm not a wolf," he said.
I showed him me and Bliss's. He oowed and awed in approval. I laughed at that.
I hated him leaving. Bliss smiled a lot, and when he left, she was mad at me. Could she not smell the difference? I know I couldn't, but I thought she would. I was wrong. We went back inside to see Charlie.
"Charlie?" I asked him. I had done this a lot in the pat few month's. It was annoying me how bad thing's I had to tell Charlie happened to me so much.
"Yeah." he said, he knew it was bad news. Most of everything I had told him lately was bad news.
"Well, after the wedding, you know the whole honeymoon thing?" I asked, and continued into the gruesome story that was only a day or two ago. When I was finished he was wide eyed and looking cautiously at me and Edward, back and forth. "Are you going to..." he started, I knew the question. "No, I'm not... hungry or thirsty like that. We don't know why." I stated. He sighed in relief.

Okay, this is the smallest chapter. It was just a little boring to write. It took my a while. Yeah, I thought this one would be funnest, but no. It wasn't. I'm sorry if it's poorly writen, it's hard to write that great when your practicaly bored to tears. And to answer a reveiw, they go so fast because I never liked hearing all the stories and crap in some of the Twilight book's. Like, Jacob's stories. They were interesting to read the first time. The second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, not so much. And I know their "out there" --lol-- it's because I wanted to have something exciting happen. I kinda stole th whole Edward-won't-sleep-with-Bella-so-Bella-goes-and-sleep's-with-Jake-and-get's-pregnant thing from my friend's friend. I made up the whole venom-instead-of-sperm-thing-that-changes-Bella-and-her-baby thing though. That's all. Seven reveiws and I post chapter five, so, REVEIW!! Tell me what you think, was it still good even if it was kinda boring??
