Disclaimer: I'm not her. God do I wish I was but alas I'm just me. One day though maybe someone will want to be me. :)

Chapter 10
I was seated on the couch in Edward's lap. Sitting in the living room with everyone staring at me in silence was getting awkward. They were looking at me like I was a two headed side show attraction. Edward's had tightened his grip around my waist. What was going on? Who or what was he responding to? I glanced around at the faces surrounding me. Only Alice's was not looking at me.
"I would never let that happen"
"Let what happen, Edward?" I turned to face him.
'Volturi' (A/N When the text is bold and italics it's something someone is thinking. I hope this helps to keep it from getting confusing.)
"Volturi? Already?" I inquired exasperatedly. Edward's eyes were wide with shock.
"Guess I'm not the only one who can read minds." Edward admitted smirking.
"Ok this is just getting ridiculous now." Rosalie said throwing her hands up in the air.
"I think we need to test your abilities to better understand what we're dealing with." Carlisle interrupted before Rose could continue fuming.
'Mind control maybe? I've never met someone with that power yet.' Carlisle thought.
"Mind control?" I turned to face him.
"It seems to fit with everything we've seen so far but I can't be too sure." He explained. "Let's start by having you do something you've already done."
"Try getting rid of his scent so I don't have to put up with it." Emmett joked motioning towards Jacob. Jacob in returned glared at Emmett.
'Yeah, like I'm having a picnic putting up with your odors.'
"Bella try focusing on one person and try to do what you did in the bathroom earlier." Carlisle suggested.
"Ok I'll try on Jacob." I focused intently on him.
"It worked I can't smell any of you, thank god." He said.
"Good. Now let's try some of the mind reading. Focus on me." Carlisle directed.
'Focus can you hear me? '
"Yes I can hear you."
'I know this is over whelming but you are doing such a wonderful job.'
"Thank you. I wouldn't say it's over whelming though." 'Especially not with everyone's help'
"Bella do that again." Carlisle prodded.
"Do what?" I looked at him incredulously
"You said 'Especially not with everyone's help' without moving your lips I heard it in my head." He clarified.
"Oh...um...ok." 'How did I do it last time? Hmm...'
'You seem to have done it again though regardless of not knowing how.' I smiled triumphantly at his thought. Jacob let out a long yawn.
"If it's ok with everyone I'm going to go to bed." Jacob spoke while standing up.
"Yes why don't we call it a night we can work on it some more in the morning." Carlisle responded.
Once Jacob was in his room Edward whisked me upstairs and into our room. He locked the door, gently placed me on the bed, and walked over to his CD player. His eyes explored my shape as I laid down propping myself on my right side with my hand holding my head up to watch him.
'God she is so gorgeous. Every time she shifted in my lap...oh god...I thought I was going to take her right there in front of everyone…I'm glad we were excused ' His eyes began to glaze over.
'I think I'm really going to like this ability.' I smirked at him. He froze in fear.
'I'm sorry if I offended you. I'm going to have to get use to controlling my thoughts around you.' His eyes were apologetic.
'Why would I be offended that my husband finds me desirable?' I sat up crawling towards him. 'You don't have to control your thoughts around me either. I want this. Don't you see Edward I'm able to give you what you wished for.'
'What's that?'
'You've always wanted to hear my thoughts. Ta da. Your wish is my command.' I crossed my hands and bowed my head like 'I dream of genie'. He laughed and met me at the edge of the bed wrapping his arms around me. 'And now I can hear yours too.'
'I love you' He kissed me gently and soft. I, needing more, quickly deepened it placing my hands on the back of his neck and entangling them in his hair making the kiss rough and urgent. He tried to pull away like when I was human but I pulled him back leaning my body into him even closer than before. I stared into his eyes intently.
'I love you too but I'm never letting you go. I don't need a breath, and I'm not going to break. You don't have to be in control anymore.' He leaned his head back and littlea growl rumbled in his chest. His lips crushed into mine with fervor. He began ripping me clothes off of me. The tattered shreds scattered throughout the room.
'Oh Edward!' I didn't hesitate to do the same to his clothes. With his hands back around my waist and my arms around his neck he lifted me off the bed never breaking our kiss. I wrapped my legs around his rock hard body.
'Bella, do you have any idea what you do to me?'
'I have an idea' I thought as a squeezed my legs tighter around him. His hardness made more apparent. My back was forced against the wall with a small growl escaping my mouth. The passion took us both over as he plunged into me. All the inhibition vanished. There were no barriers anymore. It was animalistic. There was so much passion. I was unable to think or reason it was all instinct and impulse. I lost track of time and space. I quivered. The culmination was electric. Once I was able to reflect again I realized we were now on the bathroom floor. Our room was in shambles.
'Oh my god'
'You are my goddess. I worship you and only you.'
'I can't even think straight now.' We lay there on the cold tile floor wrapped in each other's arms unable to move. I looked at the clock and notice it had been almost 8 hours. 'We need to get up, Jacob will be up soon.' I searched the house for Jacob's thoughts to see if he was already up.
'She's no danger to humans. She proved that she can remove their scent. She can even keep the other leaches in line. I can't take this. I don't want to have to listen to him defile her. I gotta get out of here. Run. Never see her again. I can't look at her after hearing all of that last night. Maybe I can sneak out.' Jacob thought.
'Let him go Bella. It's what he wants.'
'I know.' Was all I could reply. We heard Jacob leave through the back door and phase running into the woods.
'I love you Bella and I always will' Were his last thoughts. A few minutes later we called everyone into the living room.
"I'm sure you all heard Jacob leave." I started. Everyone nodded in verification.
"He's not coming back. He trusts my ability to keep humans safe and he doesn't want to see me again." Everyone's thoughts bombarded me.
'Or doesn't want to hear you again! I mean even with no talking you guys were louder than us.'
'Good I'm glad that mutts gone I hated being around him.' At least Rosalie's wrath is not directed at me.
'I would be best if we leave Forks soon'
'Oh dear that poor boy.' Esme cares so much.
'He was so sad when he left. He must have really cared about Bella. She seems ok with it though, a little sad but mostly happy. Maybe she'll take it better than I hoped. Edward needs to calm down though.' A calming wave comes over me and Edward relaxed his ridged stance. I gave Jasper a 'thank you' look. He nodded towards me.
'Now I'll be able to see again. I've gotten far too dependent on seeing. Oo shopping trip with Bella! She can be around humans after all. Yay! I wonder if I can pout and get her to go today.'
"Shut up Emmett, I agree we do need to leave Forks Carlisle, and not today Alice." They all turn and stare at me. I guess they aren't use to me doing that yet. Emmett mouthed 'what' raising his hands and shrugging. Carlisle nodded. Alice's joy filled face fell slightly but perked back up when she realized I didn't say no to going with her some other time. "All your thoughts are giving me a headache."
"You just need practice on shutting some of them out. I'll work with you on it." Edward suggested. I smiled at him.
'I love you so much Edward.'
'I feel the same, my Love.'
"If it's ok with everyone I would like to move quickly. Any ideas on where to go?" I asked looking around at everyone.
"We can really go anywhere. We have 35 houses in America, 15 in Europe, we also have houses in Australia, Africa and South America but we can't go out during the day. It's just too sunny there." Edward explained.
"Yeah I veto the last three continents. I hate being cooped up during the day all the time." Alice announced.
"Europe would be cool we haven't lived there in decades."
"I agree with Rosalie." Emmett replied.
"What about if we go to England? We all have our acceptance to Oxford so college is still an option." Edward suggested.
"I don't have acceptance." I reminded. "I never applied there and I would really like to live somewhere where I can go to college."
"I applied for you love. You are accepted to every college near where we have a house so don't worry about that." Edward amended kissing me on my forehead.
"Really? I would love to live in England then."
"It's settled then." Esme exclaimed with glee.
"You kids go ahead and fly over as soon as possible. We don't know if Jacob's change of heart will also change the truce in effect. Esme and I will tie up the loose ends here and meet you there in a month or two. Bella you have enough control over your powers that I feel it's safe for you to be around humans. Everyone just keep an eye on her and make sure she keeps practicing her ability." Carlisle declared.
"We are going to have so much fun, just wait." Alice chimed jumping up and down and clapping at vampire speed. "I'll book the flights right now. Everyone go pack we're leaving in 4 hours!"
I hope you like it so far. I have a lot of ideas to come.
Thanks,
