WAHOO! I don't know why I said that… I just guess I am hyper today. I am thinking about adding a character from another story… from another author's. I will inform her before I use it.

--Bella's POV--

Our bonding moment had to end, no matter how right it felt. He, from the silence, asked, "Are you okay, Bells?"

"I'm fine, I think," I answered.

"I'm sorry," he apologized, but I don't know why he did.

"For what?" I asked.

"For being an idiot. If I had just checked the range, you wouldn't be sitting here as a vampire. You would be with your family, probably on your way home. But being thirsty as I was that day, I didn't think to check. Gah! I hate myse-" I stopped him by putting my finger over his mouth. He was having himself a pity party.

I said three simple words: "I forgive you." He gave me a hug and muttered a thank you.

"It's the right think to do, considering I now understand how hard it is to control it."

"I officially name you my favorite sibling," he said, breaking the serious atmosphere. We both chuckled.

"Gah! What is taking you so long? Esme and Carlisle are about to die of anticipation if you both don't get your scrawny butts home," Emmett said from between two trees.

"I'm sorry," we both said in unison. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing again.

"Can you check the area, Emmett? Bella most certainly did not get enough of her fill from that one mountain lion," Jasper continued after his laughing fit had died down.

"Sure," he replied, as he turned to dash through the trees.

"Don't make me kill anymore innocent animals," I whined.

"Would you rather kill innocent humans?" he asked, raising his eyebrows at me.

"No, I guess not," I sighed.

"The perimeter is clear," Emmett said, saluting to Jasper.

"Stay around just in case a human slips in. She may be stronger than me." Jasper muttered the last part.

"Okie dokie," he said, and walked into the trees.

"Why did he salute to you earlier?" I questioned.

"Don't try to stall; we'll get you to hunt more before you enter that house again. I'll tell you later." With that, I bolted, leaving him behind.

"Hey!" he shouted. I laughed a carefree laugh.

After I had two deers, one bear, and one squirrel, I was allowed back to the mansion.

As soon as we walked in the door, we were horded with questions from four crazy, out-of-the-loop vampires.

"Stop!" I screamed, putting my hands outward in the air.

And everything and everyone… froze. I could finally hear myself think. I took a cautious steps, seeing if my movement would cause their awakening. I ran up the stairs and muttered, " I finally get to into another room." I walked into the guest room. Then, they were back. I distinctly heard Emmett shout, "Where's Bella?"

I froze my body; no movement or breathing. This would be a game of hide-and-seek, and I promised myself I would win. There were various shouts of my name throughout the house. They then went outside to look for me there.

I silently got up and raced to another room. The room had a black couch and shelves of CD's. The room had a golden color of carpeting. There were steps wounding in the hallway. I sprinted to the closet and went in between the clothes.

"Edward, is that you in there? Did you find her?" Esme's voice echoed throughout the deserted hallway.

"No, I can't find her in any of the bedrooms." His voice came from the room next door.

"Edward, I thought you were in your room. There was a sound coming from there."

"Thank you, Esme!" he shouted. His loud footsteps in the hallway told me that he was coming for me. Uh oh! The closet door opened, and he playfully pounced on me. I shrieked with laughter as he started tickling me like a little kid. "Stop…. Please," I managed to get out through my giggle fit.

"Never." He had an evil glint in his eye.

"Jasper! Edward's going to eat me!" I screamed, hoping he could hear me. I felt the glint come to my eyes. Taking a look in his eyes, he now had a slight look of terror. "Scared of the emotional boy, I see." I said teasingly.

"You will pay," he whispered into my ear. That was all he got to say before Jasper had him up against the wall.

"What did you do to her?" Jasper sounded… murderous. Did he really care that much about me?

"She was just mad that I found her. I didn't do anything. Now, will you get your hand off of my neck?" he replied. I sprinted out the room and into the living room before Edward was released.

I ran into Emmett arms and got into his lap, muttering, "Help me. Keep Edward away from me."

"Anything you want, little sister."

That seemed like a good way to end it. Now, REVIEW! You will have to bear with me and the slow, short updates because this is not the only story I am writing. Let me clear something up, Bella powers is that she can take someone else's power from body contact and use it for herself. She can also freeze time and space (that is her natural power, she did not get it from anyone else).

Should I change my penname? I am thinking about *peace&deuces* What do you think?
