Chapter 10. Busted
I put the phone back down angrily then went to open my curtains. It was getting dark out side but there was still some light. I sat in the middle of the room and began experimenting. I had a few stuffed animals in front of me and slowly I was beginning to make them move. Within five minuets I had ten pairs of toys dancing the waltz in a circle around me. I laughed hysterically as I joined more and more pairs in. I got bored of the waltz fairly quickly and made them do salsa instead. I turned on some music and danced in the middle of the room with the king size bear Rosalie had bought me.
I twirled endlessly though the other dancing pairs. My partner and I were the best of course. Suddenly their was a knock at the door and I jumped. I quickly imagined everything back in its place. "come in" I called turning off the music. Alice popped her head in suspiciously, "Rosalie said it was time for bed" she muttered as she walked over to me. Alice was going to be the one to figure it out first, I didn't know when but so far she was the only one suspicious. "ok" I smiled walking over to my wardrobe. "where did you put my pajamas?" I asked looking at the rows of clothes. "over here" she laughed grabbing them out for me.
"do you need some help?" she asked looking at me as I struggled to get the dress off. I nodded quickly then waited patiently as she set to work. "ok into bed" she laughed pulling me out of the wardrobe. I ran ahead and jumped onto the bed. She tucked me in, "Rosalie will be up in a minuet" she smiled as she walked over to the door way. "night Alice" I called to her. "night Shorty" she laughed closing the door. now I had to find something to do to occupy myself for the next ten hours. Rosalie came into the room and over to my bed. "night sweetie" she soothed brushing my hair out of my face. "night mum" I whispered reaching up to kiss her cheek.
She smiled happily as she walked back out of the room. She closed the door and the room was swallowed up by the darkness. I occupied myself for a few minuets playing with my bears again. they danced around on my bed silently just as I commanded them to. My throat burned again and I got up. I grabbed my water bottle and headed into the wardrobe. I sat down at the back in the dark and waited for my eyes to adjust. I could see everything, it was like night vision. I leaned back against the wall and imagined my cast gone. I moved my arm freely back and forth.
I unscrewed the lid on my bottle and imagined it as a full bottle of blood. I drank slowly savoring the taste. The warm liquid ran down the back of my neck and soothed the burning sensation. I was half threw my bottle when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of me. "I thought I smelt blood" it was Alice. "the question is what are you doing with blood? And why are you drinking it?" she asked kneeling down in front of me. "that night when we were attacked by James and Victoria I was bitten. I didn't say anything because I wanted to change. Everyone was preoccupied with Bella that you didn't even see the bite on my arm" I explained looking down at my feet.
"so you went threw the whole transformation on your own?" she asked shocked. "I had you all convinced that it was my arm I was complaining about" I whimpered, "I didn't want to get in trouble so I decided to try and hide it" Alice gave me a big hug then sat back down on the ground. "we wouldn't have been mad. We would've helped you threw this" she whispered tacking my hand. "how did you get the blood?" she asked her attention suddenly turning to the bottle beside me. "I got an extra sense like you" I smiled slightly offering her the blood. She took it with out thinking and chugged the rest of it down. I quickly changed it to animal blood just before it touched her lips.
"you can create blood?" she asked confused. "not exactly, I can create a lot of things" I informed her as I stood up. I a flash I left the wardrobe and sat down on my bed. "your fast" she smiled sitting beside me. "it was expected" I muttered shrugging my shoulders. "but this wasn't" I whispered suddenly turning the light on with my mind. "you did that?" she asked pointing at the light. I nodded slowly then put my cast back on. "watch this" I exclaimed pointing in front of us. She watched the floor amazed as suddenly I brought out the salsa dancing toys. "there dancing" she breathed shocked. "yep" I laughed as I filled my bottle up with blood again.
She looked at me instantly at the smell off blood. I rolled my eyes then imagined her holding her own bottle full of animal blood. "thanks" she muttered shocked as she suddenly gripped a bottle of her own. I quickly drank my blood then half filled it with water again. "this is amazing" Alice breathed as she finished of her drink. "you have to go and show Carlisle" she muttered hypnotized by the spinning toys. I quickly put them back into their spots and stood up. "won't he be mad that I didn't tell him earlier though?" I asked heading towards the door. "of course not" she reassured me opening the door.
Alice led me down stairs and into the lounge room. "Alice what are you doing she's supposed to be in bed! This is no time for you to play" Rosalie snapped standing up. "just listen. Listed to her heart" Alice whispered pushing me forward. "I don't hear it" Emmett whispered shocked. "come here" Rosalie called to me suddenly. I was by her side in a flash. Rosalie looked at Alice annoyed. "Victoria attacked her and she didn't tell anyone" Alice snapped covering herself. "you must be dying of thirst then" Esme gasped standing up. "that's just it, she's not. Look at her eyes." Rosalie spun me round and looked right into my eyes. "there pink!" she freaked looking at me shocked. "exactly. Their not black, which means" Alice prompted. "she's eaten" Carlisle sighed walking over to me.
"she's hunted already?" Esme asked coming over as well. "not exactly" Alice murmured standing next to Jasper. "she developed an extra sense" everyone looked at me amazed and curiously. "she can create blood?" Carlisle asked looking at my eyes more closely. "that's what I thought a first as well but her gift is much more powerful then that" Alice explained. "you've had a mixture of animal blood and human blood" Carlisle told me, "that's why your eyes have gone pink". Everyone was curious now. "so what can you do?" Rosalie asked smoothing my hair back.
I sat down in the couch behind me, "sit" I ordered. I waited patiently as they all took a seat. I scanned the room quickly for a decent object. Sitting perfectly still I turned the TV on without looking at it. Everyone turned to it suddenly, I Began flicking threw the channels quickly. "are you doing this?" Rosalie asked looking back at me. "yes" I smiled turning the TV off with my mind. "What else can you do?" Jasper asked suddenly interested. "anything" Alice exclaimed quietly. "show them your dance" Alice smiled smugly. Everyone else looked at me confused. "ok" I laughed looking at the floor in front of us. "can you move the coffee table please" I asked, "never mind, I'll do it" I whispered changing my mind. They watched in amazement as the coffee table moved on it's own to the side of the room.
I was really beginning to have fun with this power. "now lets begin" I laughed getting rid of my cast. "that's better, music" I commanded, the music started immediately. Now the fun really began. I pointed to a spot in front of me and smiled as a dancing pair of bears suddenly appeared. I pointed again and again making more and more pairs. "amazing" Carlisle whispered as he watched the moving toys. I dimed the lights slightly, "you guys look like you could use a drink" I laughed placing one in each of their hands. "don't worry, it's vegetarian approved" I smiled making the bears disappear. "is their any limit to your gift?" Esme asked, "from what I can see everything is triggered by her imagination" Carlisle whispered taking a sip of his drink.
"children always have good imaginations but I'm guessing hers was even better. As she was bitten as a child her imagination has come with her. Meaning now what ever she imagines comes true" Carlisle explained. "it is an excellent gift to get, my only fear is that the Voltaire will do all in their power to get it. I suppose it doesn't matter though she can make them disappear with a single thought" Carlisle laughed slightly. Rosalie hugged me closer to her. "she's mine, they'll have to kill me before they can get near her" she snapped angrily. "with a gift like hers they just might. Just think of what this would mean for them. in the wrong hands her gift could be disastrous." he sighed warning Rosalie of what could happen.
"that's if they don't try and destroy her for being an immortal child first" Jasper commented. I could fix that problem. Imagining myself 12 years old I laughed as I slowly grew. "no more immortal child" I muttered looking up at Carlisle. "cool!" Emmett laughed as I stood up. "but your still short" he sighed resting his arm on my head. I frowned then made myself grow. "now who's short!" I yelled looking down on him. "cheater" he muttered as I shrunk again. I rolled my eyes at him. I was surprising myself now. "well now we know you can age" Carlisle laughed, "you can go to high school with the rest of them" he finished.
"you mean I'm jumping from year two into year seven?" I asked shocked. "you can handle it, remember you can do anything" Alice laughed, "we'll take care of you" Jasper smiled kindly. "so I just sit on my own in class then come over to you at lunch?" I asked confused. "how lonely" I sighed. They all laughed at me. "you'll just have to be careful that you don't accidently imagine something" Esme warned seriously. "can I have a twin?" I asked suddenly. They were shocked. "I don't want to sit in a new class all on my own" I smiled sweetly. "you want to duplicate yourself?" Carlisle asked curiously. "why not? I can handle it watch" I chimed casually.
They looked at me in amazement as another 12 year old me walked into the room. "see" it said. "I can control both" I laughed taking my hand. "identical twin Shorty's" Emmett laughed. "she'll need a name" Alice pointed out. "Madeline?" I asked Alice calmly. "perfect Madeline and Melissa" she cheered. "now you have two Barbie dolls Alice" Emmett pointed out. I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips. "you'll have to be careful Lissa, just because your twins doesn't mean you do everything the same at the exact same time" Esme smiled looking at both of me. we both had our hand on our hips.
"better?" Maddy smiled folding her arms. "I've forgotten which ones which" Rosalie whispered looking at us both. "I'm Lissa" I laughed waving at her. "I think you might actually pull it off" Carlisle agreed, "I'll enroll you both in the school tomorrow. I'll make sure your in the same class though" school tomorrow? Uh oh I was suddenly nervous. "don't worry, we'll help you out and you'll have Maddy with you" Jasper re assured me. "ok come on Lissa and Maddy we have work to do. I need to get you both ready for tomorrow." Alice laughed as she took both our hands. Rosalie followed as Alice dragged me up into my room.
