"Let us go out to the field. We can bring along a few books and chairs for you to practice with. That way you won't have to worry about breaking anything that we wish to keep." He took my hand.
I looked around at the now empty room. "Where'd they-"
"Our family has gone to the field. They are all anxious to see you try out your skill. I suggest we follow them."
I smiled, and he was off, pulling me through the house, out the door, and through the woods. I had no idea where we were going, but running was the most wonderful thing I had ever done in my life, human or vampire. The wind whipped through my now perfect hair, the trees sped past me, no longer blurring, each in clear focus. Every detail stood out to me, I had vampire vision. I smiled to myself at that, and Edward looked at me questioningly. I smiled wider, and we came to an abrupt stop. His glittering family stood, surrounded by an assortment of objects, in the middle of a large clearing that they sometimes used to play baseball in. It looked like Emmett had brought a boulder with him.
"Where did you get that?" I looked at the huge stone perched in the middle of a couch, some chairs, and a few books.
"Just something I had lying around." He grinned.
"You had a boulder lying around?" I looked at it again. It was three times as tall as me, but I was pretty sure I could lift it easily.
"Well, I was going to drop it on Edward's Volvo, but I decided this would be a better use for it." I laughed at the look on Edward's face when Emmett spoke.
"Okay, enough joking around. Bella, we think that you should just start with trying to move a book, then you can work your way up to… the boulder." Carlisle told me.
"Okay. I have no idea what I'm doing, just so everyone knows." Alice picked up a book and placed it in front of me. I looked at it, and tried to imagine it floating up in the air. To my enormous surprise, it did. I laughed. This was easy! I looked to the left, and the book flew over to smack Emmett in the back of the head. Now everyone laughed.
"Now your in for it. Watch out!" Edward snorted as Emmett picked up his boulder and flung it as us, but I simply stopped it midair and made it go back to him. Everyone laughed as I chased Emmett around the clearing with the huge stone. Once again, it was Carlisle who called us to order. I may have been imagining it, but he seemed reluctant to call me off.
"Okay, Bella, now lets see if you can manipulate plants as well." I nodded, dropping the boulder to the ground and looking over at a tree that was close by. I concentrated on it just like the book and the rock, but nothing happened. I concentrated harder, and behind me, the boulder exploded.
"Ooops" I said for the second time that day.
"Interesting. It seems you can only manipulate objects without living cells." Carlisle mused. "Bella? Can you try something for me? Gently, try to lift up one of us."
I looked, doubtfully, at Edward. As I gazed, he too rose up into the air. Shocked, I lost my focus and he crashed down to the ground again. Edward looked impressed, as did the rest of the family.
"Wait, I thought that you said I could only manipulate dead stuff?" I stammered.
"Vampires are not made of living cells, Bella. The only thing still alive in us is the blood that we drink. We ourselves are made up of a rocklike substance, not tissue and bone." That was news to me. I had always known that vampires felt like rocks, but I never thought that they, well, we, were actually made of stone.
Carlisle was shaking his head. "Bella, you are going to have to be very careful from now on. I must ask you not to try to lift any of us unless it is absolutely necessary." He frowned.
"Why? I mean, of course I wont, but still, why not?" I looked back at Edward.
Carlisle spoke again. "Bella, look at the boulder. In simple terms, you could basically blow us up." Another shocked silence followed his words.
"Blow you up?" I mouthed his words again, soundlessly, but they all understood. Great. Now I had to worry about blowing up my family too. I had already accidentally broken a shelf, a picture, and a boulder. Where they next? Was my "skill" going to end up hurting them? Unconsciously, I started to run away from my family. Before I could get far, Edward grabbed my wrist. I looked back at him, slowly, carefully so I didn't do anything else accidental.
"Edward, just let me go," The words came out differently than I meant them too. His shock gave me time to break his grip and run off. As I left, I heard Esme speak.
"Let her be alone for awhile, Edward. She has a lot to think about."
