When we got back to the demonstration room nearly everyone was there. No adults seemed to be in the room yet though, so at least we weren't late. Everyone other then Emmet filed into the room. What can I say we're all mental.

When it seemed like everyone who had been but in this group had arrived there were about twenty or so people in the room. It was a little hard to imagine that this many people around the contry got contacted by one person. As if my thought had called him, Demetri walked through the door, followed by about five other people.

"Hello again. You are all in this group as it was assesed that your abilities lie in your mind. If, on further observation, this changes, then you shall be moved. Until that time you will all consider me as your head instructer. Therefore if you are having any problems with work or other students you will come directly to me."

I couldn't help but wonder if any of the people in the room would go to Demetri if they had a problem. I know I wouldn't.

He directed to the people behind him.

"These will be your 'teachers', for lack of a better word. They will take you for group classes as well as give you one on one instruction."

He came forward carrying a pile of papers.

"Here are your class schedules. There is also a map on the back, so you have no excuse to be late. Your first class today, is in here."

He left without another word along, with four of the other people...well at least we don't have him...

The person left standing infront of us was a tall brunette. She was absolutely gorgeous. She and Rosalie could have been sisters, not because they looked alike, but because it was only fair to have that amount of beauty in one gene pool...talk about justice...I thought bitterly as she began to speak.

"Hi everyone. I'm Heidi and I will teach you how to hide your gifts properly. To blend into all situations. This could span from how you look, to controling your powers so they don't give you away when you need to remain inconspicuous."

She gave all of us a breathtaking smile. I took yet another hit to my ego. I felt kind of bad for it. Poor ego had been hit hard a few times today.

"Today, I will work with each of you individually and see how I can help you blend more easily into society. Some may need more help then others so until then, you can practice using your powers. I trust you not to harm anyone with them."

She gave us a stern look and then headed to the closest person to her. I turned to Edward and the rest of the group. Alice had a far away look on her face, Edward was looking at her with an amused look on his face and Rose and Jasper had identical looks of bewilderment on their faces...funny...hehe...

Alice finally snapped out of it.

"O-kay, this is what we're going to do. Edward you go work with Bella on the 'blocking out the voices' thing and I'm going to get better aquainted with Jasper and his sister!"

She didn't give us time to answer as she tugged on Jasper and Rose's arms to force them to sit on the ground.

"Well that leaves you and me."

"Eh...Yeah, I suppose it does...Em...Do you want me to try and teach you to keep...", I waved my hands around stupidly, "...them...out?"

"Hell yeah!"

I giggled as we settled on the ground.

"Alright well...When I first started to realise I could read minds, I could heal all of them at once, like you do. It took me while to figure out how to make them fade away, well make them quieter at least. So you should be able to do it too."

He was drinking my words in. Eager to hear how he could be alone in his own head. It really made you think about the affect extra powers had on people. The concept of a gift really being a curse was easy to see on Edward's eager face.

"What?" He ask self conciously. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

My expression must have been making my thoughts pretty clear. My mum always said my face was like an open book. It was why I was so terrible at lying.

"Nothing...sorry. Anyway, you need to try and find a quiet place in your head. The one place where everyone else can't reach."

He nodded his head and closed his eyes. I left him to it. He didn't need another voice to add to the din that was already pounding against the inside of his skull.

His face became more peaceful with each passing moment. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. His eyes were so clear. You could almost see this peaceful place, that was entirely his, through his eyes.

"You found it."

It wasn't a question.

"Yeah I did. I didn't know it was there. How do I keep the voices down though. When I was focusing on the one place the voices faded away, but as soon as I let it go, they all burst back through."

"I know you may not want to hear it, but it will take time. Practice, and in time, keeping the voices at bay will become second nature to you. You won't have to fight them anymore."

I gave him a genuine smile. Hoping that I had helped, even if it was only small.

He gave me a small smile in return. It was obvious he wanted to be able to keep the voices out now rather then later.

He stood up gracefully and offered me his hand. I took it, eager to touch him again...I am such a hormonal teenagers sometimes...I stood up and made my way over to Alice and Rose. Jasper was talking to Heidi.

"Not to be mean or anything but how will she know how to help us?" I asked Alice as I settled beside her.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Just beacuse she wears a cake layer of make-up to hide herself doesn't mean I am just going to destroy my skin so I can 'become less conspicuous'. Why would I want to do that?"

I couldn't help but laugh at Rosalie. It wasn't that she was jealous. She didn't need to be! She just didn't hide what she was thinking at all. You had to take what you got with Rosalie.

Edward was chuckling as he said, "Not that you aren't right Rose, but I think Bella was trying to point out that Heidi doesn't know enough about us to help us blend in. I don't really get it either. It's not like she will know how it's difficult for us, if she doesn't know the ins and outs of our powers.

Alice hadn't really been paying attention during the exchange. Her eyes snapped back from Jasper and she joined in the conversation.

"You know you shouldn't judge before she talks to you. You may be surpirised, and while we're talking about being surprised, why don't you know how she can help? Haven't you been listening?"

She looked smug at Edward's bewildered expression. Heidi then walked over to us then and looked down at Edward.

"Your next."

She had a sultry smile on her face, that I wanted to slap off.

"Sure, no problem."

He gave her a smile and followed her over to the corner where she and Jasper had just been talking.

"Calm down Bella. If you don't relax people are going to be hitting the roof. Literally."

Alice was right. I could feel the power pulsing around me. I had to control my stupid emotions...well at least it'll be obvious what I need help with...

Edward came back then. He sat down beside me and gave me a crooked smile that literally made me meow, well it sounded something like a meow. He smile grew when he heard it...damn him for knowing the affect he has on me!...

Heidi had followed him over and was looking at me.

"You're up next."

I stood up an followed her to the infamous corner.

"Now first you will need to give me a minute. May I?"

She was reaching for my hands. I was a little confused but placed them in hers all the same. The feeling was a little odd when my skin touched hers, almost as if there was a current running along it, rippling along the surface.

She took hers hands away and opened her eyes.

"Wow..."

She looked slightly unsettled. Her hands were opening and closing subconciously.

"Well...em...your emotions control your powers...you need to...em...learn to keep them under...control. Your sheild is manipulated through anger. So, yeah...just emotions with you."

Her body seemed to release something after she said this, her form slouching slightly. She finally stood at her full height with a look of relief etched upon her beautiful face. I was mulling over something she had just said. She didn't give me time to put forward the question though, as she began to speak.

"Sorry about that. I absorb powers for a short amount of time. It's why I am so good at helping people blend in. I was...a little put off guard by your gift. It's a lot to handle. I'm not really sure how you can keep it bottled up. The power almost seeps through your pours..."

She trailed off after this. I didn't understand. Of course I knew it was hard to handle sometimes. I knew that when I was happy, sad, angry, excited, it became difficult to pull it all back in. It must have just become easier the more practice I got. I wanted to ask about something she said earlier and I took now as my chance.

"You said earlier that my 'sheild' was controled with anger. What do you mean sheild? I don't have a sheild."

She looked at me with a confused expression. Almost as if she didn't hear me correctly.

"Your sheild. The barrier that protects your mind, why Edward can't hear you..."

She must have stopped because of the look on my face at her mentioning Edward...how did she that Edward couldn't hear me?...

"Well...the power that you feel. The pulsing you feel when your angry. That's your sheild! It's what you use to manipulate matter. You control the energy in the air surrounding you and use that to move the objects around you."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I had a sheild? It would explain quite alot. I always wondered what the feeling around me was. Almost like a barrier between me and the world.

"I didn't really want to experiment more because I couldn't really...well, to be honest I could hardly keep myself in check when your power was running through me, but, you know what you call the 'blanket' in your head, well, I am almost sure that you would be able to push that away from your body to protect those around you aswell."

"I...em...I didn't know anything about..."

"It's alright. We'll help you to harness it. I know the extent of it, whether I wanted to use it or not. Until then, you should play around with it. Try to push the energy away from yourself to protect others."

I nodded, my face still a mask of unease. She gave me a reassuring smile and walked over to Rosalie, me trailing behind her, caught up in my own thoughts.

Edward looked up at me, concern etched on his face.

"Are you alright?"

I wasn't sure if I still had the use of my voice, so I just nodded and smiled. It probably came out more like a grimace. Edward didn't seem conviced. I cleared my throat.

"I'm fine. Just a little shocked."

He nodded and didn't push it. Thank god. I wasn't really sure what to think of things myself. How could I not have known? I have had this gift all my life and never discovered this 'sheild', and this woman experienced my gift for less then two minutes and was able to sense everything. It was unnerving.

Rosalie came back with a smug look on her face. Alice jumped up when Roslaie lithely sat down.

"No way was I going to let her try to hide all this." She directed down to her amazing body. "I used my little gift to my advantage. I persuaded her to let me sit out during this class."

She sat back on her hands with a content look on her face. Jasper shook his head in her direction with an amused look. He was obviously used to Rosalie persuading people to give her everything she wanted...could come in handy...I thougt shooting my eyes at Edward slyly.

We all sat and talked until it was time for our next class.

"O-kay everyone, I only have a few more people to see and I'll talk to them tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day."

We made our way out of the room. Some people took their timetables out of their pockets to see what was next. That was only because they didn't have Alice.

We followed her through a labyrinth of halls and arrived at the edge of a feild. It looked like there was an obstacle course set up...oh hell no...I let out a groan as I realised what we would have to do. Emmet came bounding over from the opposite side of the field. He had a huge grin on his face and had eyes, only for Rosalie. She actually had a pink tint to her cheeks at the attention, and this on her usually harsh visage, well it was adorable!

The gigantic body mass of Felix stood looming over the now fully assembled group of teenagers before him. He stood at the start of the obstacle course.

"Righ', you're all gonna' go in twos. Don't use your powers for this. The 'ole point of i', is for excercise and to build up stamina. Off you go."

"No need for me to build up my stamina. I can go forever baby!"

He winked at Rose and she turned her face away with a smirk. Everyone other then Emmett seemed to struggle through the course. Well that was until it came to the pool. You had to jump in and do an entire length then get out the other side and conitnue in your soaking wet clothes.

I can tell you one thing about Emmett. He does not like water. As soon as he saw the pool he suffled backwards and fell into the ditch he had just crawled out of. If I wasn't worried that he had hurt himself it would've been extremely comical.

He ran around it and continued to the end. When he joined us again he didn't meet any of our eyes. I know it may have been slightly inappropriate but I couldn't help but laugh. This mountain of a guy looking all timid, well it was so unlikely! It seemed to break the tension though, as everyone else joined in. Even Emmett cracked a smile.

Edward and I went next. It wasn't that bad, but I wasn't able to do anything that required a lot of upper body strength. I wasn't upset when Edward helped me over these hurdles, but I wasn't to sure whether Felix would like it as much as I did. Actually I would be slightly concerned if he did. Edward let me swim first. I dived in and swam to the other side. I loved swimming, so this wasn't a problem for me. I got out of the pool, my clothes clinging to me. Fortunatly it wouldn't take to long to dry in the heat, it was even a little refreshing after all the exercise.

I saw Edward's head start to emerge from the pool, tiny water droplets gleaming like diamonds in is hair. His shirt was clinging to his body like a secong skin, showing off every single one of his defined muscles. It took every ounce of self control that I had not to go and jump him. I bit down on my bottom lip in hopes that no sound would come out ...Please don't let me meow again! Please, please, please, please, please!...

It was much more difficult to finish the course as I was very concious of the wet Edward beside me. It was one of those moments that I felt grateful that he couldn't read my mindas my current thoughts weren't really fit for sharing.

"Good team work out there guys. You work well together"

"We do don't we."

I blushed an unattractive shade of pink at Edward's words and hurrried over to the rest of the group.

I could see that Jessica was following behind, us not even bothering to pull up her string top, which was already straining to keep in the load. If she bent over at all we would all get a sightful of her awful, saggy tits ingrained in our retina's.

"Hey there Edward. Wasn't that fun? I am so wet after it though."

With a flirtatious smile and a flip of her hair she strutted away swaying her hips so much I'm surprised she didn't fall over. I was livid. I could feel the area around me start to heat with power.

Control. I need to learn Control.
