After my hunt, I began my training with the Cullens. I wanted to learn more about my powers before Alexandrine and Xerin arrived.
I was in the backyard of the Cullens and was ready for a challenge. I knew it was going to take a lot out of me, that's why I gorged myself on animal blood before I began. I was dressed in a fashionable work out outfit. It was black and kind of velvety with ice blue lining and stripes. Alice insisted that I had to wear it so I did. I mean, what did I have to lose at this point, right? I already lost my father and my mother. What else could go wrong?
I forgot about a couple of people though, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme. Yeah, I left Rosalie out because, well come on do I have to say it? I probably wouldn't have minded her if she wasn't so obviously enraged at the mere sight of me.
I was face to face with all but Rosalie. We were planning out what we were going to be working on. I, obviously, had to work on my emotions with Jasper, along with the other things with Edward and Alice. But, who would help me practice my telekinesis? I guess I would have to figure that out later.
Jasper walked forward, closer to me, and said, "Why don't we start with the emotions?"
"Okay, Jasper, what do you want me to do?" I asked.
"Let's start with you opening up to the emotions," he replied.
"Okay, and how do I do that?"
"Concentrate on everyone and everything around you. Try to pull out each emotion and then when you have grasped one add another by doing the same thing. Then just focus on them and feel them," Jasper said.
"All right I will try it, but I doubt it will work," I stated as I began to do as he said. I opened myself up to everything. I began with the easiest, fear. Then, slowly I added happy, confusion, angry, calm, sad, anxious, and all the other emotions. I was amazed that I could feel all of these things at once. It seems so wrong to do this, but it feels so right.
I felt like I was one with the emotions. I felt like I was floating, I was so, so…free!
My freedom was cut off with loud gasps and people were yelling at me, not really angrily though. I opened my eyes that had fluttered shut at the beginning and saw that I was actually floating really high above everyone. 'Crap' I thought as I tried to ease myself down. However, I apparently wasn't focusing enough and I ended up free falling down towards the ground.
Luckily, just as I was about to make impact with the grassy surface, I fell into two strong and sturdy arms instead. I looked up and made eye contact with my savior. Of course I wasn't really going to get hurt from falling, but old human habits of being afraid to fall like thirty feet to the ground without anything to catch you don't go away very easily. Edward. The most gorgeous vampire or person I have ever met and probably will ever meet was holding me in his arms.
"Thank you, Edward, but you can put me down now," I said as I realized that he was still holding me.
"Yes, I could, but what if I don't want to?" he replied using an amazing voice that made me feel dazzled.
"Edward! She has to train! Put her down!" Alice whined.
He just grumbled and put me down. I walked over to Jasper again and asked him what I should do about what happened. He said he didn't know what to do and that I should try to work on another power while he and Carlisle tried to figure it out.
"Oh, Bella! Try mine! All you have to do is focus on a person or group of people and really concentrate on their futures," Alice practically screamed at me.
"All right, Alice. I will give it a shot," I said as I began to focus on Edward. I was surprised when I actually started to see his future. I was also surprised at what I saw.
In Edward's near future I saw him asking me to be his girlfriend. It was so sweet that I couldn't hold back my smile and snapped out of the vision. I turned to face Edward directly and looked right into his eyes. I walked right up to him and said, "Don't bother asking me later. I already know what you want to ask and I already have an answer for you. All I have to say is, what took you so long?"
Edward looked at with utter confusion and astonishment. I simply laughed at him and then said, "Yes!" Then he wrapped me in his arms and we along with Alice started laughing. Everyone else just looked around confused as to what just happened. I backed away from Edward and felt embarrassed at what just happened, but I pushed those feelings away and replaced them with a feeling of strong happiness. Unknowingly, I pushed the happiness out to everyone around me, too.
"So, what next?" I asked everyone.
"Why are we all so happy?" Emmett asked.
Everyone turned towards Jasper, but when he realized he had nothing to do with it and said so, they all turned to look at me. I just grinned sheepishly at everyone and said, "Sorry, my fault."
They just laughed at me and then Edward spoke up, "I believe that it is my turn."
"Huh?" I questioned, completely oblivious as to what he was talking about.
"Mind reading, Bella," he replied with a soft chuckle escaping his mouth.

A/N: Sorry it took so long guys! I didn't mean for it to take so long as I have said before. I have just been busy and I guess you could say lazy. I am back in school now so I don't have vacation anymore. Please review! They make me have a guilty conscience which makes me update! I promise to update, eventually. It will probably this week although it is my birthday in the middle of it. Yay!
