"Kid what the hell have you been doing if you've died that many times…and how the hell are you still alive?" A woman with long blond hair and golden eyes asked staring at Bella who just shrugged.
"I heal realllllly fast. I've only actually died completely once. Usually I die for a few minutes while my soul is in limbo until my body heals enough or I get a new one, depending on the damage. This is the first time I was actually reincarnated so my power and memories were sealed up until I died in the woods the day Eddie boy and the Cullens left." Bella said shrugging her shoulders and not really answering the first question, while making all of the Cullens jerk as if shot except for Alice who just looked solemn.
"T-truth."
"What do you mean you died in the woods when we left?" Rosalie asked sharply, hiding her worry and horror while Bella didn't look phased in the slightest as she shoved her hands in her pockets.
"Eddie decided to tell me I was just a useless distraction and toy to make you all seem more human at school after he had me take a walk into the woods with him. Naturally because of the abandonment and trust issues I had with my so called mother in this life, that stung me hard and when he took off, leaving me in the middle of the woods in the rain after having the audacity to tell me not to do anything reckless…I ran after him being the stupid girl I was at the time. I got lost, fell down, and twisted my ankle. I was out there for hours before hypothermia began to set in…and then I was found by a hungry bear." Bella began not looking bothered in the slightest while the Cullens, and other vampires, eyes widened in horror.
"Truth."
"The bear decided I would be a good meal so after taking a few claws and teeth to various parts of my body, I eventually died. Dying however awaked my past memories and unsealed my power, so that there is now one less Black Bear in the forest and one more crater. It wasn't one of my more violent awakenings but it was in the top thirty. Never got attacked by a bear without at least a fraction of my power unlocked before so that was a new one." Bella said shrugging slightly at the end.
"Truth." Maggie whispered as she stared at Bella wide eyed, slowly falling onto her butt on the stone floor since her legs could no longer support her.
"Oh god." Esme was dry sobbing into Carlisle as the word tumbled from Maggie's lips, and that seemed to shock the others out of their funk. Most of the mated women were sobbing, or doing the vampire version of it at least, into their mates who looked grim and solemn at this while the unmated women were either taking comfort in their coven mates or just staring at Bella in stunned disbelief like Maggie was.
"What? Like I said it wasn't the worst way I've died before. Hell it isn't even in the top ten so what's wrong?" Bella asked honestly confused by why they were staring at her like that or sobbing.
"Being burned alive…and …eaten by a bear…aren't even in the top ten…oh my god." A tall woman with golden eyes and short silvery blond hair choked out sobbing as a strawberry blond woman and the long haired blond woman who had asked Bella how she was still alive comforted her.
"Nope. Hell they aren't even in the top twenty really… oh don't get me wrong, they both hurt like a bitch and a half but I've died in ways that are more painful both physically, emotionally, and mentally." Bella said not looking concerned at all while Maggie whimpered.
"Truth."
"What-what's one of the more painful ways?" One of the two Egyptian women asked looking almost reluctant to hear the answer.
"Hmm just off the top of my head… dissection, while I was still alive, conscious, and could feel everything. They were fascinated with my healing ability and kept reminding me that they had someone close to me as a hostage to keep me from fighting them. It took weeks for them to stop dissecting me and just kill me, and even then it was an accident." Bella said causing everyone to recoil in horror, some of the not as emotionally strong women whimpering as Maggie whispered with a small sob.
"Truth."
"I-if you survived that… what actually killed you so that you had to be reborn?" The golden eyed woman with long straight hair whimpered out from the three way hug she and her sisters were in.
"Well… how to describe it so you would understand… those of you with abilities. Some of your abilities drain your energy right?" Bella asked looking around and causing a few of the vampires o nod, including the blond who had asked the question.
"Now since you're vampires with near unlimited energy, it doesn't really bother you that much other than making you need to feed some more right?" Bella asked making the gifted vampires nod.
"My power uses my energy as well, and although I have a very large energy supply it's not unlimited like yours is. One day…. Me, my friends, my family got into a large battle when some jackass altered the mind of one of the girls I see as my younger sister. He screwed up her mind and it caused her to go insane… eventually she came in control of a very powerful weapon and was going to use it to kill everyone she could." Bella began while her eyes began to glow amber again.
"Truth." Maggie muttered the word almost below Bella's hearing range.
"One of my other siblings had a way of stopping her and the weapon but… she didn't have enough power to do it, not on her own. Well… my ability is literally called Power." Bella said causing the vampires to stare at her.
"You used your ability to strengthen hers. You gave her your power… is that even possible?" Carlisle asked looking around the room.
"It sounds like when I use my ability. I don't need an extra boost but if I think I'll need an extra jolt then I can take in, absorb, the electrical currents from things around me." The long haired blond said frowning and causing Bella to wince slightly.
"Can you do me a favor and not use the word 'Absorb' around me?" Bella asked looking a bit ashamed as she asked that question.
"Sure but what's wrong with the word?" The long haired blond in question asked confused.
"The word itself? Nothing really. The flashbacks it causes are brutal though." Bella said shaking her head as if to clear it of the flashbacks.
"Truth."
"Why would it cause you flashbacks?" The Irish woman asked confused and worried.
"Well everyone in my family had an ability. I already told you mine was called Power, but the others have various abilities like Particles, Puppet, Wind stop, Quantum, Driver… you get the picture. The girl whose mind was altered and led to my most excruciating death, she and her mother had the same ability. 'Absorb'. They could literally absorb energy from anything and anyone. They could also absorb anything in their path or touching their skin. Imagine you shot towards them with a gun, they can absorb the bullet before it even hits them, then they turn that bullet and the force behind it into their own energy and can shoot blasts of energy right back at you." Bella explained causing everyone to go wide eyed at this.
"Truth."
"So fighting her and her weapon was a pain in the ass for all of us as I'm sure you can imagine. So I had to channel all of my Power into my little sister who had the Puppet ability so that she could take control of the weapon and use it against our out of control friend. But you see, abilities aren't just linked to our bodies. Abilities are linked and born into our very souls." Bella said causing everyone to stare wide eyed at this information.
"Truth."
"But that can't be… Vampires don't have souls…" Edward whispered more than said earning a sarcastic bark of laughter from Bella.
"That's bullshit Eddie. Everyone has a soul, if you didn't you'd be nothing more than a husk. Not moving, not talking, not even thinking. Essentially you'd be brain dead but there would be no chance of recovery. Even the most corrupt politician has a soul, despite how black it is! Trust me I've seen it." Bella said causing Edward to gulp unnecessarily at hearing that.
"Truth."
"Those with abilities… how are their souls different from those without?" A strawberry blond woman with golden eyes asked while she held her sisters.
"They aren't, not really. What determines who has a 'gift' as you call them or not depends on many things. Sometimes it can be a situation that makes the ability manifest, sometimes it can be genetic, other times it's because of how you were raised, and sometimes well it's just plain random. For example, my boss in my past life. Her ability was Quantum and allowed her to move faster than anybody, even you guys, because she could manipulate the molecules in the air and her own body to teleport for lack of a better way to put it. She can also use this to help me and my families souls move from a damaged body into a new one, but that takes a lot of energy out of her. Her teleporting and speed ability she had for years before I even met her, and she loved to run before it was unlocked but her healing ability was unlocked when she wanted to help heal me after I took six bullets for her." Bella said causing everyone to look shocked or impressed at that ability.
"Truth."
"So me having my shocking personality could be because of the way I was raised or something?" The long haired blond asked causing her sisters and the Cullens to groan. The short haired blond said what the rest of their group was obviously thinking, making the long haired one grin.
"Really Kate?! You use that joke at least once a day!"
