Hey guys!!! I'm excited to get this chappie out…so…you know…read it!!!!

I opened my eyes, seeing things in such detail that I was taken aback. A small gasp escaped my mouth in awe. I felt a small squeeze to my hand and I knew that Edward was seeing the same thing.

"Edward…what…" I stuttered. I was about to say more but he put his soft fingers to my lips, cutting me off. He leaned in slowly, closing his eyes. I felt my own eyes flutter shut and—
"Helloooo? Bella? Anybody home?" Alice was standing in front of me, snapping her fingers and waving her hands around in front of my face. Her golden topaz eyes were glimmering with confusion and annoyance.

I blinked a few times, shaking my head.

"What?" I asked, holding my hands to my head. A dull throbbing had begun. It wasn't a headache, just an annoying beat that sounded loudly in my head like a drum. Also, to go along with the drum-like pounding, my eyes were dry, causing an annoying itchy sensation. Alice didn't respond to me, only sat back into the couch beside me, studying me silently in puzzlement. I stared back, no doubt sporting the same confused look as she was.

"What happened?" I asked with a sigh, finally giving in to the silence that had enveloped us. I couldn't really remember what had happened before the extremely real sequence with Edward. A shiver ran down my spine just thinking about how real it was.

"We were talking about getting a new couch for your new bedroom and then you just kind of space," Alice explained, still eyeing me wearily, "Your eyes were open still, but you weren't responding at all. I don't even remember you blinking," That would explain the dryness of my eyes.

Alice scooted over closer to me, studying my worried face, "What happened?"

I shook my head, attempting but failing to find the words to describe the experience. It was just so…so unsettling.

She didn't say anything, only twisted her expression into one of worry. I felt my cheeks heat up and scowled.

As I've progressed as a vampire, my blush has faded, only showing up every now and then at random. To Edwards' disappointment, Carlisle had said that it would fully go away in a year or two. I was ecstatic, while Edward had been less than pleased.

After another moment of neither of us saying anything, Alice finally sighed, closing her eyes and standing up.

"Where are you going?" I asked, noting that my voice had cracked. I was worried, and obviously, so was Alice.

"To get Edward," she said, not meeting my eye, "Maybe you'll tell him."

A pang of guilt shot through my heart, and I realized that Alice had always been there for me, and I recognized the pain she must be feeling since I wouldn't/couldn't describe anything. I stood up too, grabbing her wrist and sitting us both back down.

"It's not that." I told her, "I just don't know how to say it without it sounding completely mental." She giggled.

"Bella, we're all vampires, we can't sleep, eat, or drink. Plus some of us have powers. Now tell me again which part sounds mental?" I smiled, knowing that she was right, of course. I nodded and she cocked her head to the side to show that she was paying attention.

I sighed and leaned over, concentrating on what had happened. Alice placed a comforting hand on my back, "Just tell me as much as you can remember," she said softly, a smile on her voice.

I wasn't exactly sure where to begin. "It felt like I was outdoors," I told her finally, "I could even feel the sun on my skin." I ran a hand down my arm, still sensing the heat, "Edward was there. It was like we were walking through tall grass," I itched my leg as proof, "But what was odd," I continued, remembering an unusual fact, "was that we weren't sparkling."

I saw Alice's eyes open a little wider but she remained silent, "It was so real…" I breathed, hiding my face in my hands, "I felt Edwards hand. I can still sense him."

My fingers tingled from where Edwards hand had been during the—experience.

I looked over at Alice, who seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of more silence, she sighed and stared at me, "Bella, start from the beginning and see how many details you can conjure up."

I obliged, going into detail describing everything I had experience from walking through the prickly grass with Edward to the tiny caterpillar climbing its way up the leaf of a sunflower.

Once I had finished, I sensed that Alice had gotten more than enough information to come to a conclusion, and so I waited patiently as her brilliant topaz eyes became clouded in thought. When they were clear again, I groaned.

"You don't have a clue about this, do you?" I stated, folding my arms and hunching over into the couch. Alice's lips parted, releasing a small smile along with a sigh. She shook her head.

"No," she agreed, eyes staring mine down, "I think this is a case for Carlisle." She attempted to shove a short spiky hair behind her ear but it was just too short. She resorted to twirling it around her finger instead, biting her lower lip in the process.

"You think it could be…bad?" I was beginning to panic, and when I panicked, I wasn't really the person anyone wanted to be around.

"Well not…bad per say, but I don't think it's very good." She shook her head and in a moment she had me up on my feet. "The point is, is that I have no idea if this is good or bad, so I think that it'd be safer to speak directly to Carlisle." Alice led me out the door of my house and I followed her graciously until I remembered something.

"Oh wait, I have to leave a note for Edward," I pulled out of her grasp easily, thrilling at the very fact that I could. I was about to walk back through the door when Alice caught me again.

"No you don't" she said simply, leading me again towards her shiny Porsche. I objected but she shushed me, "Edward's already at the house," she assured me, ushering me into the passenger side. I huffed but happily buckled in knowing that I would get to see Edward soon.

Alice was quiet as we drove back to Forks, a trait that was not in her persona. I eyed her suspiciously.

"Um, Alice?" I asked her. She seemed to snap out of a daze and she smiled.

"Oh yes, of course." She said without looking at me. With a quick flip of her wrist the radio was on, playing older songs. It was as if she hadn't heard me again, and she was soon back in her thoughts. I sighed and listened to the station she had switched to. I recognized an old song and even began to sing, becoming oblivious to where we were.

I sang happily to one of my favorites; Come Softly to Me, by The Fleetwoods. I hadn't heard it in forever and so I sang my heart out to it, "Come softly, darling. Come softly, darling. Come to me, sta-ay. You're my ob-session, forever and a da-ay. I want, want you to kno-o-ow. I love, I love you so. Please hold, hold me so tight .All through, all through the night. Speak softly, darling. Hear what I sa-ay. I love you always. Always, always. I've waited, waited so long, for your kisses and your love. Please come, come to me. From up, from up above…" I hadn't realized that we had pulled into the house and Alice and every single Cullen were staring at me open mouthed. Emmett was laughing but Edward seemed intrigued. I blushed madly and looked over at Alice who was grinning evilly. I switched off the radio violently, breaking the knob, and slapped Alice's' shoulder and got out of the car, hunching over in embarrassment. I couldn't believe that I'd just done that. I heard her laughing as she popped the knob back into place, good as new.

Unhappily I made my way to Edward, "Sorry," I grumbled to everyone, wanting more than ever to have the ability to disappear. My mind flashed back to our graduation and I felt my face darken a shade.

"Bella," Edward said, a warm smile placed firmly on his face, "You have an amazing voice," Everyone nodded in agreement. Esme was nodding, her white teeth showing in a huge smile.

"Oh Bella honey, I love that song," she said with a sigh and a smile. She turned around and headed back into the house, humming the melody. Edward watched her go in happily, his topaz eyes were dancing. He looked back at me, dazzling me with the perfect crooked smile that only Edward could do. I smiled too, embarrassment forgotten.

Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulders, kissing my forehead, "So my love, what brings you and my darling sister for this visit?" I looked over his shoulder to Alice, whose smile dropped immediately. She coughed and Edward stopped, looking back at her.

"We need to talk to Carlisle." She looked down at the ground, studying her stylish shoes. Edward cocked an eyebrow and looked between us.

"Alright, what's going on?" he asked, studying me. I tried not to let any worry show but it must have been obvious, "Bella what happened?" I looked away, my heart weighing down from knowing that just moments ago he's been having fun with his family. Then I came…

Alice quickly stepped in, "It's a long story, believe me," she winked. "You can come with us and talk to Carlisle." She skipped in front of us and ran up the stairs to Carlisle's study. I looked back at Edward and shrugged, pulling at his hand, urging him to follow. He let out a sigh and followed me up the stairs, squeezing my hand tightly.

As we sat, Alice filled Carlisle and Edward in on what had happened back at our home, and then she prodded me to go into the details I had told her. I took a deep breath, describing in detail what had happened.

We all sat in silence for a while, and as the silence progressed, I became more and more impatient. Finally, Alice cut in.

"Do you have any idea what it is?" she asked Carlisle. He sank down in his chair, a hand covering his eyes as he thought about the situation. I chanced a look at Edward but he didn't seem all that worried, which soothed me. I relaxed back in my seat. Carlisle stood, running a hand through his golden hair.

"It sounds to me like Bella has received a gift." I saw Alice let out a sigh of relief, but I wasn't entirely satisfied.

"What do you mean? I'm like Edward and Alice now?" I looked between the two and Carlisle nodded.

"Like Edward told you before; every vampire brings something over from their human existence, whether it be the ability to calm a room or not. Sometimes, a certain trait can form into something amazing—magical even."

My eyes opened a little, and I figured it was just because I hadn't even thought about having a gift before. I always assumed that I was too dull to be capable of something as great as Edward and Alice's gifts.

Edward squeezed my hand and I looked up at him. He was smiling down at me, and his topaz orbs were twinkling.

"You're just full of surprises now, aren't you?" he said happily, the crooked smile forming again. I smiled back, relieved that it wasn't bad.

"Now we just have to figure out what exactly it does and why, when it can happen." Carlisle looked at me, perching on the edge of his desk with a smile, "Alice told us that you just drifted out. Do you think you can try to pull it in at will?" I nodded, gulping.

With a deep breath, I released my muscles, letting my body float. I opened my eyes again and I let out a sigh, disappointed that I was still in the den. Edward hugged me.

"Don't give up," he whispered in my ear. With his encouragement, I tried again, failing again. I stood up in annoyance.

"Maybe it was just a daydream," I said, defeated and irritated with myself. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall with my head down.

"Daydreams aren't so detailed," Alice said, walking over to me and placing a hand on my shoulder, "And you can wake someone out of it. You were just gone. I could've blown a trumpet in your ear and you wouldn't have come back," she smiled and guided me back over to the seat. "Try again Bella." She said, leaving no room for argument.

I closed my eyes, imagining myself back in the field with Edward, remembering every little sensation until my whole body tingled. I thought of Edward. How his voice could send shivers down my spine. How his eyes twinkled specially for me when he saw me. How he loved me with every bit of his body, soul, and heart…

When I opened my eyes again, I was back. I squealed in happiness. I soon realized, though, that Edward was different.

I glanced over at him, unsparkling though the sun was beating down on him. He looked confused, moving his head from side to side. It looked like he didn't know where he was. Soon, I realized that somehow I had gotten him to come with me.

"What happened?" he asked, walking up to me. He looked around, taking my hand just as he had done the last time. I smiled.

"Looks like you came along for the ride." He nodded, understanding. We walked a little.

"So, this is an interesting gift you have," he said, a smile on his face.

"I wonder what our bodies are doing," I said aloud. He stopped and looked at me quizzically, "I mean, we're walking, but are our bodies still in the chairs?" he shrugged and continued leading me through the clearing. I was so happy he was here with me. We sat in the high grass and he kissed me.

That's when we snapped out of it.

"Oh my God!" Alice squealed, immediately running over to us, "I was so worried! It was just like last time only Edward did it too!" Carlisle was directly behind her, looking worried as well. Edward and I were fine. Edward looked at me and smiled.

"He came with me this time," I said, shaking my head. I was in a little daze, "I was thinking about him and then we were back." Carlisle seemed enthralled. He was quiet for a moment, studying us. Then he suddenly snapped his fingers and smiled.

"Bella, I'd like you to try something for me," he pulled up a chair and placed Alice in it. She looked as confused as I felt, "I want you to do exactly what you did to Edward. Think about Alice as you go back. In fact, don't even go back," he was getting excited, "Go somewhere other than this meadow."

"Like where?" I asked. Carlisle shrugged impatiently.

"Anywhere," he waved his hands as he urged me to get on with it. I turned in my seat and looked at Alice.

"Anywhere in particular you'd like to go?" I asked. She smiled.

"The stars," she said with a grin. I smiled too.

I imagined outer space; beautiful galaxy's, stars whizzing by, air. Then I pictured Alice and me there; Alice laughing, picking out a star, smiling…

When I opened my eyes Alice was grabbing hold of me, her eyes popping out of their sockets and her fingers digging into my arms. I looked down and gaped—passed my feet was deep, deep blackness surrounded by tiny balls of light. I grabbed hold of Alice, panicking. We looked at each other, realizing that we weren't falling at all, but instead floating.

I glanced around me, where stars and planets were passing us slowly. I looked back at Alice, who was in awe. I'd never seen her so happy before. We were both bathed in a ghostly blue light, and she was playing with a tiny piece of asteroid that had floated between us.

"Bella," she said, her voice soft, "This is amazing…" and she was right, "How did you get air in—or should I say out here?" As vampires, we didn't need to breathe, but it was a habit and not breathing was uncomfortable, I'd tried it.

"I just, imagined it."

With that we were ripped from the stars and we were back in Carlisle's den. Alice was breathing heavily, a huge smile planted on her face. Carlisle was ecstatic. I was smiling too.

Suddenly, though, I felt a rip in my energy circuit. I wobbled a moment and then my legs gave out; of course Edward was there to catch me, holding me in his arms. I put a hand to my head, feeling light-headed.

"I think that's enough for today," Carlisle said, walking over to me and placing a hand on my forehead, "You need to rest,"

Edward nodded and we left the house, but not before Emmett made me promise to take him to a monster truck show in China with my power.

"Are there even monster truck shows in China?" I giggled quietly. I was wiped out.

"Well, there can be with this little gift of yours," Emmett said with a grin. He waved goodbye and allowed Edward to carry me out.

Edward lowered me into his Volvo, and I wished more than ever that I could sleep. Instead, Edward played soft, soothing music that relaxed me completely. By the time we got home I was able to walk again on my own.

Just to be safe, Edward was at my side until we made it to our bedroom.

He tucked us in and cuddled himself around me, kissing my cheek. I sighed in comfort and relaxation, knowing that he would always be there for me.

I turned my body so that we were facing each other and I planted a soft kiss on his lips. I attempted to deepen the kiss a little but my energy supply was so low that I was out of breath immediately. He laughed, moving a strand of my mahogany hair out of my face and behind my ear.

"Don't be in such a hurry," he soothed. I smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Sorry," I said with a tiny laugh, "I can't help it."

Edward sighed and smiled, kissing my forehead and rubbing tiny circles on my back that made me shiver. The scars that had been there had faded considerably since the change, and I had no problem what-so-ever with that.

"So," I said, unable to hold in my excitement any longer, "How cool is it that I have a power?" I smiled hugely, and Edward laughed. His smile never faded and his finger traced my jaw.

"Bella Cullen, you are truly a wonder…"

Weee! Chappie 10 complete!! I was excited to get this one out. I wasn't originally going to give her a power, but then I was like, what the hell? And so I went for it! I don't know if it has a name, but it sounds cool. Anywho, thanks for reading and REVIEW!!!
