Chapter 10

Bella's POV

I looked up into his eyes blushing because of what he had said. My heart spluttered and stopped and then did double pace. I looked down blushing. The back of his hands lightly traced my cheek. I closed my eyes and felt myself slipping into unconsciousness. 'sleep' I nodded and leant on his chest.

Edward's POV

Her breathing evened out and I smiled as I cradled her to my chest. Her heart seemed to be a little hyperactive, should I dare to hope…or not? With her in my arms, I was nearly whole for the first time in over 100 years. Nearly. 'hey dude' I turned to see Emmet. 'hey Emmet' I said to him but quickly turned back to Bella and stroked her peaceful face.

'your lucky you know that' he said and I froze I was lucky? 'Bella will love you Edward, she probably already does and doesn't know it' it wasn't like Emmet to be like this, but I welcomed it. Anything to keep me out of depression. 'anyway Rose told me, to tell you,-' I rolled my eyes at his way of passing on a message '-that you watch bella sleep tonight, she's ok with it' I beamed. 'you can leave if you want, I'll explain'

I gave my thanks, and carried Bella over to the Volvo. I carefully settled her in and clipped her seat belt on. I didn't like driving without someone to look after Bella but I'd just drive bellow 80mph. I still couldn't get over Bella, how intelligent, how beautiful how talented she was. Utterly selfless, and completely angelic. It didn't seem right that she was loved my a demon. Angels and Monsters don't tend to mix.

I wasn't helping myself, and I was glad for the distraction of arriving at the house. 'Bella, sweetie?' I whispered. She moaned and I chuckled quietly. I picked her up, and she remained incoherent until we reached the stairs. 'Edward!' she complained 'I'm old enough to walk!' she protested, wriggling. I felt my face fall as I set her down.

'I didn't mean it like that' she whispered upon seeing my expression. 'It's ok, I guess you can do things on your own' I muttered dejected. She reached up on tiptoes until her face was so close to mine I didn't know if I could resist. 'don't be like that, please?' I nodded. She dragged me upstairs. 'I'll go change, don't go anywhere' she instructed.

She walked out and jumped into bed, she was wearing a vest top and short pyjama shorts-Alice. I was glad I couldn't see her like that for long, did everything tempt me to take that too hasty step? Yes, yes it did. 'come here' she whispered, I smiled and sat down beside her. She shook her head and patted the mattress. I tried not to hyperventilate, this meant a whole lot more to me than It did to her.

I manoeuvred her under the quilt and lay myself on top, she frowned. 'I'm not going to get cold' she muttered. I rolled my eyes. She clung her arms around my middle and I laid mine over her back. She was asleep soon enough, her head hidden in the crook of my neck. 'I love you' I whispered, she couldn't hear me but it made me feel better saying it ever night, hoping one day, it will be returned.

During her sleep she hugged me tighter, either she was scared I would leave or she was having a bad turn in her dream. I hummed to her and she soon went restful again. 'Edward' she whispered so clearly I thought she was awake. But the thing was she wasn't, and my name hadn't been spoken as she normally said it. Not as everyone else said it, it was as I said her name, with love, true love and adoration. Surly she has not found her feelings so quickly, she is still human.

Then she murmured my name in a tone that held nothing more than longing. She was asleep I knew it for sure. Maybe this was just an indication as to where she is headed, maybe she had the feelings but she doesn't realize-' I contemplated maybes, and then was rather rudely interrupted. 'WE'RE HOME!' Alice called. I hissed at her, 'shh Bella's asleep' I muttered where calming a disturbed Bella, who was murmuring things in her sleep.

Bella's POV

I had a weird dream last night, there were the a pack of humongous wolves surrounding Edward. And I was being held back. My family was there too. I couldn't understand why they weren't doing anything! 'Edward!' I had shouted, I had gone through several embarrassing scenarios, and I shouted with so much love in my voice it scared me.

Then everything disappeared, everything apart from me and Edward. I ran up to him and was instantly wrapped in his arms, he kissed my forehead. My heart had spluttered, then I had stopped breathing all together as he lay his forehead on mine. 'Edward' I had whispered, and then I had a dreamless sleep.

I woke up greeted by an ecstatic looking Alice, smiling down at me. 'personal bubble Alice' I muttered and snuggled into Edward. Alice pouted, 'Edward's in your bubble' she said 'I'm your best friend too' I winced I had been neglecting her. 'I'm sorry Alice come here' I patted the other side of me. Edward growled. 'it's ok she's not going to bite me' he didn't like my teasing, I rolled my eyes and hugged Alice to my side.

Edward looked close to snarling, 'oy' I said prodding his shoulder, he looked at me. I couldn't speak for a while, his eyes held something close to the emotions I had said his name with in my dream. 'calm down ok?' he was still tense. I reached up and touched his cheek, he was a little warm again. I beamed, as an Idea hit me. 'calm down or-' he raised his eyebrows 'you're giving me an ultimatum?' he asked, incredulous. 'yes I am' I said rolling my eyes.

He shook his head smiling, but he still glared at Alice. 'you have to say sorry to Alice or-' his faced scrunched up the only people he tended to apologize to were me, Esme and Carlisle. '-or you can play truth or dare this weekend with all the family' I beamed, Alice squealed. She loved truth or dare, that's why I chose it.

'I'll take the truth or dare' he muttered, I smiled. 'Alice?' I felt her turn to stone at my side. 'Alice!' she wasn't listening 'Bella it's ok, she's just having a vision' Edward whispered in my ear, pulling me back down by his side for comfort. 'but she should snap out of it if I call her, she always does' he smiled 'then I think she likes what she sees' I frowned, 'won't you tell me?' I pleased, he shook his head. 'I like it too, but you can't know yet, ok?' I nodded, dejected I didn't get to know now.

'now, do you have any other hidden talents?' Edward asked out of the blue, 'Alice said I should have about 5 powers, if that's what you ment' he smiled, but shook his head. 'I don't mean that, I know those anyway' my jaw dropped, 'and you didn't tell me!' I practically shouted. He smirked. 'I think it'd be better if you found out for yourself' he said ruffling my hair.

'and I didn't mean that actually, though it is entertain to see your reactions' I scowled folding my arms. He sighed, 'don't be angry with me' I softened, 'damn, every time' I muttered and Edward chuckled. 'you forget you do it to me too' I rolled my eyes, 'of course I do', I said so matter of factly. 'I meant like talents, like your painting and drawing, singing and dancing, sarcasm and speaking Spanish' he listed my talents.

I bit my lip at his expression, there were those emotions again, 'since when did sarcasm become a talent?' I asked, he muttered something 'what did you say?' I asked innocently 'nothing' he was lying, I got this little feeling at the back of my head that told me so. 'your lying, I can tell' and this wasn't just because it was Edward. I actually got a feeling, not just by looking at his face.

He beamed, then I froze 'is-is-' I couldn't get my words out, so Edward brushed my cheek with the back of his index finger 'another talent?' he offered, my breathing accelerated-weather to his touch or this newly found information I didn't know-Edward smiled gently. 'I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just wanted you to know another talent' he said, I blushed and hid in his shoulder. I didn't usually blush so easily at his gestures.

'so what did you say?' I whispered, 'um…that it wasn't a talent-' he stopped and I looked at him, expectant. 'no it's to embarrassing' I heard Emmet laugh downstairs. I really wanted to know, I don't know what possessed me really. But going on instinct alone I planted a kiss to his cheek, 'please?' I asked. I heard a small Gasp down stairs and blushed a little.

Edward was frozen his eye glistening a dark shade of gold, but not with anger. 'until you perfected it' he whispered and I pieced his sentences together and smiled. I latched myself onto his in a loving embrace, not like any other me had shared.

It felt different, it felt special. Neither of us moved, my arms were wound around Edward neck, my head buried in his chest. His arms snaked around my waist, his hands clasped not letting me go, though over time he realized I wasn't going anywhere and so relaxed his arms. Edward head was leant on mine. We stayed like that until Alice snapped out of her seemingly very long vision.

'awww!' she cooed, obviously to the nice ending to her vision. Then she saw our position. 'AWWW!' then we were invaded of privacy as everyone appeared in the room. We still refused to move. I blushed into Edward. 'it's ok Bella' he whispered to me. I expected shouting for Esme or Rosalie. But we didn't even get teasing for Emmet. Everyone looked happy, really, really happy. I raised my head long enough to notice Carlisle ask Edward something, Edward shook his head sadly. I didn't like him looking upset. I tapped his shoulder, he looked down instantly, 'why are you upset?' he shook his head 'I'm not' he was lying again. Again didn't need my new gift to know that.

I growled a very Edward-like growl in frustration. All eyes were on me. 'what?' I tried hard not to let the aggravation seep into my tone, but it did anyway-on it's own accord. 'you two have that in common' Emmet observe…wait, what? Emmet, Emmet being observant? Oh god, I have gone mad. In what world would I have a family full of beautiful vampires to look after me?

Jasper and Edward felt my feelings at the moment, and I was instantly staring into Edward beautiful topaz eyes. 'Bella, don't think like that' he said, how did he know what I was thinking? He chuckled, 'I still can't hear your mind no, but I do know you, don't forget that' I huffed and gratefully accepted the hug he offered, though still different it wasn't like our last. I think that had something to do with the family in the room at this present time.

'let me guess, it's another one of those things I'm going to have to wait for?' he nodded, smiling sadly. I sighed, and suddenly realized that we had a bank holiday and then an INSET day. We had a four day weekend! 'MORNING!' I called, everyone flinch apart from Edward, he never flinched at my voice, never.

'Bella! You-you're-' I seem to have the tendency to make Vampires stutter, would that be classed as a Power? Well we'll wait and see, I was far to stubborn to actually ask Edward, plus it would be embarrassing, hey Edward is making your kind stutter a power? Well done Bella that just screamed weirdo, you have officially hit a new low. I felt guilty just thinking like that, knowing Edward torment of the monster he though her was. Jasper must have sensed something was wrong and I needed to be alone with Edward. But obviously he didn't have it in him to be subtle. 'c'mon guys lets leave to two love birds alone' both me and Edward growled at that. We were endlessly teased.

'ok I need to get a few things straight' he started to moved, what the hell! What did he think? I wanted him to leave with the others? 'Edward, I meant, I need to get some things straight, with you' I rolled my eyes, his face lightened considerably. 'you think you're a monster' I stated, he started to argue 'remember' I said tapping the side of my head, 'I shall know' I said like a crazy person, he reached for my hand, trying to be subtle about inspecting my head, 'Edward I'm fine, now answer the question'

He just nodded, 'you know why I don't agree?' he went to nod, stupid vampire I can't tell if he's lying with actions. 'talk' I instructed he sighed. 'yes' I narrowed my eyes, 'don't lie to me Edward' I said my voice brittle and weak, it scared me when he lied to me not that I'd admit it. At least not with 6 very eager vampires down stairs eaves dropping.

'No' he whispered, 'you're not like them Edward and you'll never be' I stared into his eyes. 'but I am, in essence' he muttered. I snarled, 'stop it! I don't like it' his face softened but his resolve was strong. 'Bella-' I shook my head 'no, I was talking first' I said childishly.

His face stayed serious, 'Listen, I'd know if you were a monster, trust me. I think I'd know if my best friend, the guy laying next to me was a monster! Seriously' I muttered, his face softened and the twinkling in his eyes was back but much more strong. Then I realized the complications of my statement. Best friends did not stay in the same bed, I told myself off for that thought and pushed it aside, looking back to Edward.

And I was scared, not because of him, or what he was, but of what I saw there. I loved it and was scared all at the same time. It wasn't anything I had experienced with anyone, but I knew Edward hadn't either. Either he was lying or I didn't see right.

Just as he noticed that I had seen something his face morphed into his all to familiar, cool façade. I sighed. 'do you see my point?' I asked 'no' he said simply, I groaned. 'you're impossible' I muttered. 'how so?' he said faking hurt, one hand on his not beating heart. 'I've seen monsters Edward, and you're not one of them. Speaking of that, someone needs to check on Jacob' I realized at this mention that Edward didn't know what the hell I was on about.

'who's Jacob?' he said his name with such disgust and protectiveness, I would have blushed if it wasn't so funny. 'calm down, Charlie was friends with Jacob's father. I think he's a warewolf now. Not sure though' I was instantly caged in his arms. I was used to this. 'I'm not going to go running off to LaPush Edward' I said, 'even if I tried I probably wouldn't get out the door, with you being Mr. Speedy Gonzales over here'

'true' I rolled my eyes, at his answer. 'now, do we agree that you are no longer classifying yourself as a monster, and that you are now officially a teddy bear?' I said seriously, 'yes and no' I frowned, 'don't you want to be a teddy bear?' I asked smiling, 'not particularly, anyway I think Emmet would get upset if I took his title'

'HELL YEAH! I'M STEALING MY LIL' SIS' TODAY, JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW' Emmet called, he didn't need to Edward could hear and tell me, but just because he could hear and could tell me didn't mean he would. I rolled my eyes, I had missed spending time with Emmet and Jasper. Since Edward had returned I hadn't spent as much time with them.

I smiled, to myself. I had liked it when Edward had come home. It felt like I would die from happiness. I felt…whole-but that's what best friends do right? I'm not so sure anymore. I was emotionally a mess, but I couldn't bring myself to care when I was sat next to Edward.

Edward slung his arm around my shoulders gently, I rolled my eyes. Even after all this time he was still thinking I would break. And then pulled be forward with him, 'up, Alice will come looking in a minute. Her thoughts are hostile' I grimaced and got up and went to my wardrobe. 'oh no, no, no' I sighed, it was worth a try. Edward chuckled at my attempt to avoid Alice.

I frowned, 'Alice I'm not a doll, can't I dress myself today?' I begged, she shook her head. 'you'd end up in jeans and a hoody' I rolled my eyes, 'uh, duh'

*~(3 hours later)~*

'um, Emmet I think your ment to eat it not chuck it at the birds' I said trying to figure out if it was sweet or just creepy. Emmet thought that, as a big brother, he should buy me ice cream. He bought one for himself and Jasper as well. Keeping up appearances.

Unfortunately for the birds, Emmet got confused with bread and ice-cream. I laughed as Emmet got to the cone. 'what do I do now?' he whispered, I snickered. 'if you're not going to eat it then you chuck it in the bin, that object has been located about a meter to your left for the past 20 minutes' I teased, 'so I didn't have to do anything with this?' I shook my head, 'nope' I said popping the p.

He sighed, and then beamed. 'Jasper you look like you're enjoying that' he teased. Jasper was looking paralyzed at the ice-cream. I rolled my eyes and took it away from him. His eyes followed the cone as I dumped it in the bin. Once it was out of sight he relaxed. 'that was the second most repulsive thing I have ever seen' he said, 'first?' I asked. 'he grinned evilly.

'do you really want to know?' he asked, I was hesitant but nodded. 'it involves Alice' he warned, I encouraged him to carry on. Then In an extremely fast voice, I heard 3 words 'Alice….Clothes….On' I cringed 'JASPER!' I shouted 'you wanted to know!' he said in his defence his hands up.

'ew! Ew! EW!' I would say I wanted to go home, but I wanted to spend more time with them. And now wasn't the time to shout all odds when they were my ride home. I could call Edward…what the actual hell! Everything! Fucking everything, I turned into something o do with Edward!

Edward's POV

'Edward calm down!' Rose shouted, 'I'm fine' I said through gritted teeth, snarling at her. 'edgy edgy' she said, I let out a long angered breath through my nose. 'Rose, leave I'm irritable and possible assassin material at the moment' I muttered 'Oooh irritable' she said faking fright.

'Carlisle! Get Rose out of here before I rip her to shreds' I almost shouted, I wasn't doing well with the separation between me and Bella, that was putting it lightly. I rocked backwards and forwards on the chair with my head in my hands. This was hell! Pure, fire infested, Devil tempting HELL!

I felt a hand on my shoulder and growled, I looked up and saw Esme smiling sadly, but her eyes held hurt, 'sorry Esme, really. I'm just not-' I couldn't get it out. 'hurts huh?' I nodded, I felt like crying. 'she'll be back soon, trust me' I nodded, I loved Esme as a mother and I vowed to myself to call her mum more. It makes her happy and she's done so much for me.

I heard the car door slam, and I was outside In a second. I yanked open the car door and lifted Bella out. 'Bella' I whispered into her hair. She seemed just as eager to see me, gripping onto my neck for dear life. 'Missed you' she said to me smiled as she pulled away.

'Edward you missed Bella more than I missed Rose' Emmet teased, I would kill him for that, what if Bella caught on! I growled loudly and shortly after was met with a furious blond. 'WHAT?' she screeched at Emmet. 'you're saying that you didn't miss me? Huh, ok then miss our little roe plays-' I felt Bella cringe into me, I covered her ear.

'Rose shut the hell up' Jasper said harshly coming over to Bella and releasing her death grip on me. He felt both our reluctance and emptiness as we lost contact. He smiled apologetically, I'm pretty sure you don't want Bella wrapped around you when Esme and Carlisle see her, they are her parents, remember. Jasper warned me as he explained his actions through his mind.

I reluctantly put some space between me and Bella, but she wasn't having any of it. Just as Esme and Carlisle came to greet her, she latched herself onto my waist. I smiled warmly and stroked her hair. Esme was almost choking with satisfaction, Carlisle looked proud. 'don't I get a hug?' Rose asked, faking hurt, one hand on her still heart.

'nu-uh' she mumbled into me. I chuckled and held her closer. I quickly scooped her into my arms and slung her over my shoulder. 'PUT ME DOWN!' she squealed while laughing. 'nope, this is fun' she gave up on pounding my back and just laughed. Carlisle looked amused, to say the least. But Emmet, of course, couldn't control himself, he was holding his sides while he laughed uncontrollable…Jasper wasn't in much better state.

'but why should I put you down? This is fun' I said, mocking. She huffed, 'well if you don't put me down I can't get started on your painting…' she trailed off and I had her off my shoulder in an instant. My eyes gleaming with excitement, and love. I hoped she couldn't see that.

She beamed, her heart sounded slightly faster than normal, probably from all the hollering she'd just done…hopefully not but a pessimist is never disappointed. She smiled lightly as she blushed and hid her face. I raised her chin, 'thank you' her heart did flutter at my sincerity. 'oy! Bro c'mon share her!' Emmet complained. I growled 'one) don't refer to Bella as an Object, and two) you have had Bella's company all day' I glared daggers at him.

He held his hands up in defeat, 'fine, fine' he muttered, I felt Bella latch onto me once again. I buried my head in her head, and remembered Carlisle and Esme. I pulled back, I knew my eyes were gleaming brightly but I couldn't help that. I just dropped my gaze to bella to avoid as much eyes contact as possible.

'ok, now as lovely as this is can we go in?' Rose asked, Jasper instantly got the bags Alice was about to pic up, Alice smiled brightly and pecked him on the lips. 'love you!' She called as she skipped towards the house. Bella groaned 'is there no escaping it!' I smiled, and then grimaced, 'I know, c'mon I think I can beat you at wii Baseball' she had that worryingly evil look on her face 'yes, you think. Just proved that being turned into a vampire makes you lose brain cells' she sang the last words as she dashed into the house after Alice.

*~(half an hour later)~*

Bella's POV

'oh yeah! Home run!' I chanted as I whipped Edward's but. He ruffled my hair, 'you know if Alice come's to re-do that then you're dead' I told him casually, 'don't worry she won't get near you' he reassured me, 'and whys that?' I asked as I swung my bat getting a double. 'because I won't let her' I smiled, I tried to stop my heart fluttering in pleasure, shut up! Shut up! Shut up! stupid brain. Stupid Heart, Stupid world.

Why? Why now? When everything was so perfect? I heard a scream and immediately snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look where it had come from. Edward instinctively stepped in front of me. I held his arm and peaked round it, knowing it was useless to move out of this position if he wanted me here.

It was Alice, her face plastered into the look of despair. 'what the hell happened to your HAIR!' she screeched I covered my ears. 'I think I just lost an eardrum' I muttered, Edward growled…almost possessively. I smiled at that, I shouldn't but I did. I gave a menacing grin to Alice as she lunged at me. I side stepped and rolled my eyes at Emmet cheering fight! Fight! Fight! 'Bella…' Alice warned.

'Alice…' I warned back, I concentrated on my poker face. I came across angry and temperamental. I knew that my eyes were nearly black with the façade. Alice looked at me, generally hesitant. I would play this out for a little bit. 'Alice you know all the clothes you got last weekend..?' I asked her, she nodded wary. I gave an evil grin, a grin that was usually accompanied by an evil cackle.

She screamed seeing what I was planning, 'oh no you don't, not my babies' she nearly sobbed, Edward looked amused but didn't relax his protective posture. Can't say I minded though. 'Alice I don't have a choice, you backed me into a corner' she didn't like my definite tone, or my decided language. She pouted and then ran to Jasper, 'Jazz…' he shook his head, 'no Alice I can't do that to bella' obviously reading his wife's thoughts and emotions.

I smiled again at the bonds I had made. I realized that Alice's and Jasper's stance was almost identical to Edward's and mine. The difference was that Edward did this out of the best friend sorta instinct, whereas Jasper did it because of the whole wed in holy matrimony instinct.

Edward sat down his eyes always on Alice and subconsciously pulled me into his lap. Emmet snickered, Edward retorted with a snarl that ripped through his chest and throat, yet I wasn't scared…just comforted. He instinctively wrapped his arms around me. 'that's not fair Eddie boy' Emmet said plucking me out of Edward grasp. 'hey!' I protested 'I was comfortable' I crossed my arms as Emmet held me up like a small child by my arms. Edward looked angry as hell, and I'm not kidding.

Emmet cowered slightly, but not much. He was merely smug at Edward's reaction. 'I could give you an ice-cream, if you'd like Emmet…' I trailed off, he put me down instantly, and hid behind Esme. 'n-no that's o-ok Bells' he stuttered. I smiled and skipped back to Edward who chuckled at Emmet's memories no doubt.

*~(the next day)~*

You know, I'm liking this extended weekend, very, very much. I had learnt that I could actually decide the voltage of my shocks. I decided to try it out *queue evil smirk* 'HEY EMMET!' I shouted from behind him and gave him the tiniest shock I could manage, 'OW!' he yelped.

I skipped out of the room, 'hey Edward?' I called, he was in front of me in an instant. 'yes Bella?' he asked that emotion ever prominent in his eyes, tornting me you don't know what I am! it sang over and, over again, and again, I internally groaned. Then remembered what I was doing this for.

'I need you to cover for me' I whispered only loud enough for him to hear, he smiled 'what have you done this time?' he asked knowingly. 'just a little shock for Emmet, I can control it better no' I said nestling into his lap. He didn't mind at all, once again instinctively wrapping his arms around me. He gave me a headphone from his iPod, 'here, this'll be our alibi' he said seriously, I nodded smiling as I leaned back into him. There wasn't actually any music playing because then I would find it hard to hear the conversation in the kitchen.

Me and Edward nearly got caught last time when he was commentating it to me. 'Bella? Edward?' I pulled out the head phone at the same time Edward did, and turned simultaneously to Carlisle. 'yes daddy?' I said sweetly, his face softened and his eyes looked happy. 'don't' worry dear, Emmet's just being childish' he said walking out of the room and over to a tantrum-ing Emmet.

I smiled up at Edward, 'your eyes are black, go hunt' I ordered, he chuckled, 'trust me I'm not thirsty' he said. I didn't get the humour in that, but let it go. To say I was confused was an understatement, to be honest I was having a hard time thinking this is real life.

I mean what's the probability that I, me, would be adopted by a coven on beautiful vampires. If you asked me to list beautiful characteristics and traits of the vampires in my new family I could tell you the first thing that would come to mind would be their looks. Until you get to Edward, looks seem so insignificant in the shadow of all his over beautiful and unique qualities.

Edward had noticed I was off in my own contemplating little world, I had been doing this a lot lately and every time he looked excited. As if anticipating something. I hated seeing the look on his face when my reveries obviously didn't result in what he hoped they had. 'I wish you would just tell me Edward' I said to him absently.

He looked confused, 'wished I told you what?' he said as I rolled my eyes. 'tell me what you're waiting for, every time I zone out you look like your anticipating me to say something and then look so upset when I don't, I makes me sad' I frowned and told the tears not to fall repeatedly.

He was momentarily shocked, before, suddenly I was being whisked away. We were actually running to somewhere. 'where are we going?' I asked, he just chuckled. We finally arrived and it was the a large field. About the size of 9 or 10 football fields. 'we play baseball here' he murmured. 'it's silent, no nagging thoughts' he mussed as I looked quizzically at him.

'don't be sad Bella, I can't tell you. You have to find it out by yourself, and I don't' want to push or scare you' I scrunched my eyebrows together. 'you won't tell me?' my voice sounded weak, close to tears. His expression broke 'I can't Bella, I would if I could but you would hate me for it, trust me when I say that'

'I couldn't hate you' I said to him, his eyes glistened at my sincerity, 'you could' he shot back. I narrowed my eyes in frustration. I walked over to him and put a hand to his cheek, 'I couldn't' I said sternly, 'I'm sure you think that now-' I interrupted him before he got to finish.

'put it this way, I can't hate you as much as you can't love Mike Newton' I saw his face, and knew I had won.

I gently kissed his cheek, blushing as I did so. This time I stayed around to see his reaction, he was frozen but his eyes changed to a glistening black. It wasn't an angry black but a different black, I had no chance of knowing what that difference was until he told me…or until I figured it out.

He smiled brightly, a sense of accomplishment or pride. I smiled back at him shyly as I looked at the ground. I was suddenly crushed up against him, I realized I didn't feel anything. I guess that's another power, I had a mental shield maybe I had a physical shield too? (that question was really me asking you if you'd mind if she had two shields, thanks)

I felt him kiss my hair and my heart beat frantically, spluttering with each beat. 'you ok now?' I asked him, 'I think I'm in heaven' he murmured 'good then I have done my job as a best friend' I felt him stiffen at the word best friend. 'you sure your ok?' I asked again, I breathed in. 'yes' he said weakly.

'will you stay with me tonight?' I asked him, knowing I wanted it as much as he did. I turned to face his excited face. 'of course I will' he said, 'c'mon then, I'm tired' he smiled brightly. 'and no running off to hunt' I said to him sternly, 'I don't think I'd rather be anywhere else than right by your side' he said softly, his eyes scorching in the now dim moon light.

*~(morning)~*

I liked my new shield, I had amazing dreams incorporating it last night. And by incorporating, I mean it played a very small part of what I was actually dreaming about. Mostly it was Edward…he seemed to frequent in my dreams more often now.

I opened my eyes, and looked up to see Edward smiling slightly down at me. I blushed and looked down. I was laying half across his chest, his arm wrapped over my back. He chuckled, and rubbed circles on my back.

'good morning' he said, his smooth honey voice sounding like a blissful lullaby. 'morning' I said, fully ready to fall asleep again. But no, god wasn't on my side today. 'BELLA! GET UP! WE NEED TO GO PLAY BASEBALL!' Emmet yelled, 'ow' I muttered, Edward growled and I knew he would go pulverize Emmet for nearly bursting my ear drums.

I put a hand on his shoulder, and tried with all my might to push him back down. It didn't work, but he got the message. 'it's fine really, you'll just have to be my personal body guard for the day' I teased, instead of the groan I would have expected, I got an enthusiastic, child-on-shristams-morning 'yes' I rolled my eyes, at his eager expression.

I got up and went to the bathroom to get changed. 'Bella your clothes are on the back of the door' I hear Alice call gently, not like Emmet but more wary of Edwards protective nature. Alice obviously had learnt from Emmet mistakes, she would have shouted otherwise. 'ok Alice, Edward you can stop threatening her now' I said nonchalantly.

'how did she?' Alice asked, 'that's Bella for you, it's in the best friend criteria' Edward explained, 'you both are practically obsessed with each other, best friends do not know what baby grow you were dressed in for your christening, it's just not something you share' Alice explained, '-you tell each other stuff about relationships, and clothes. You like to think you know everything about each other but, the only person you know anything about it your other half' Alice said, 'and that's what you two act like'

I heard Edward shush her, my heart was fluttering at what she said, for no apparent reason. Maybe I was just putting of the reason I knew, but didn't want to acknowledge. I knew they could hear, and I think I was imagining things when I think I heard Alice say "geez Edward you look like a Cheshire cat" it could have easily been "geez Edward, you need to kill a mountain cat" maybe they were talking quietly about their hunting habits as not to upset me.

I slipped on what Alice had set out for me, it was simple-she was finally listening to me-a short denim skirt and a simple vest top. I smiled and walked out of the bathroom. I smiled at Alice and stood next to Edward. I suddenly didn't feel so good, my throat started throbbing. I coughed, and I felt dizzy. I felt Edward hold me to him, 'Carlisle' he said, trying to hide his concern. I knew it was there though, it just made my heart beat double time, causing him to worry more…which lead me to near hyperventilation.

'Bella, breathe' Edward said as I stopped breathing all together. I nodded and focused on that. Edward led me to the bed and sat me in his lap, I was cradled to his chest like a small child. Carlisle appeared and looked at me with evident concern. 'Bella? Sweetie, what's the matter?' he asked.

I coughed, 'my throat hurts' I managed to choke out. Edward rubbed my back, he felt warm again. 'Edward can I check her over?' why would Carlisle asked, he was the father. Edward seemed to hesitate, 'it's the only way for her to get better' he added, Edward reluctantly seated me more conveniently next to him so Carlisle could inspect me. His arm was still securely around my waist though, and my side felt warm and tingly, my stomach was infested with butterflies, but I kept my heart beat under control.

After checking my throat out, Carlisle gave a sigh, 'you have tonsillitis' he said to me, I groaned and stopped when it hurt, I whimpered. Edward quickly checked me over, 'fine' I whispered, he didn't relax though. He whisked me into his arms, and lay me on the bed. 'rest' he said sternly, 'I'll go get her some medicine from the hospital' Carlisle said, stopping at the door. 'look after your girl' he said to Edward, my heart stuttered and Edward smiled at his comment, or more probably, my blissful expression.

I patted the mattress and he lay next to me, he was next to me in a flash. I didn't hesitate to lay my head on his chest. I knew I had never done it consciously, and that made him give a little gasp of…joy? Wrapping his arms around my frame and kissed the top of my head. My heart stuttered and then did double time. Then I stopped breathing all together, 'Breathe' he said softly, I blushed and closed my eyes.

He seemed curious, and brushed my arm. I felt electricity shoot up my arms and I held back a purr. I leant into his touch and then pulled back after realizing what I was doing. He sighed, I nestled my head in his neck, another thing I wouldn't usually do. And fell into a peaceful sleep.

Edward's POV

I gently stroked Bella's hair as she breathed evenly on my chest. She had done so many things I had thought I would have to wait years for. I knew her subconscious was far more developed than her conscious mind. In her sleep was usually when I would find evidence for that. She would hug tighter next to me, or say my name.

But she had done it consciously only minutes ago, she knew it had made me happy but I was wondering if it made her happy to. Bella's door cracked open and Carlisle and Esme stepped in. Esme was at her side in a second oh I do hope she's ok she worried in her mind.

'I take it we're not going to get a chance to see her now, are we?' Carlisle asked smiling smugly. I shook my head bashfully. 'that's ok, so long as you make sure she takes her medicine' Carlisle said in reassurance.

Esme looked at me fondly, or more correctly…me and Bella fondly. 'you look so sweet' I internally groaned, this was not the time for the motherly talk.

Alice decided to make her presense apparent by creeping into the room. told you she chanted repeatedly in her head. 'I think Edward's a little possessive' she taunted. She stepped forward, I growled reflexively, 'sorry' I muttered, 'reflex' I sounded like Bella when she accidentally shocked someone.

'I think I just proved my point' Alice chirped before bouncing out of the door smugness radiating off her. I sighed and smiled down at Bella.

Bella's POV

I woke up to an uncomfortable burning in my throat, oh yeah now I remember. Tonsillitis. I opened my eyes, 'you need your medicine Bella' I heard Edward say. My heart beat fast as I realized how close he was. He gently propped me up and snaked an arm around my waist so I kept my balance. He handed me a glass of water and a spoon full of medicine. I rolled my eyes, I was capable of giving myself my own medicine.

I took the medicine and I nearly spat if back up, I drank the water to help it go down. 'that tasted like there were live frogs in it' I muttered, he smiled sympathetically. 'but you'll get better soon' Edward added. It seemed to make him happy, more than happy. Ecstatic. 'Edward why won't you tell me?' I pleaded again, my voice was hoarse.

He kissed my temple, 'you know why' he said, his voice pained. I sighed, and leant my head on his shoulder. I knew, I didn't understand and I knew he was holding back and it unnerved me to think he kept something from me.

I looked down, pondering. I moved so I was sat crossed legged on the bed. Grabbing my art paper and an F and 2B pencil. I lightly sketched on the paper, making gentle outlines and shapes. Edward was watching intrigued, I grunted as I got one line a degrees out, 'stupid line' I muttered sharpening my pencil and rubbing out the void line.

I kept drawing from memory and after the out line was finished. I went to get out of bed. 'where do you think you're going' Edward said sternly, 'you need to rest' I frowned and lay back down. please I said removing my shield, his face mixed from shock, to happiness, then disappointment as I snapped my shield back…then understanding-had I let something slip?

Edward's POV

Please she said through her mind. I was shocked, I never thought she would show me her mind again. A few things slipped through, which I'm sure she hadn't intended. They were memories of her previous thoughts, they all came at me at once. But I would look through them later.

'I'll make a deal, you rest for half an hour and I'll see?' she beamed and kissed my cheek, I smiled brightly while frozen in happiness. She smiled shyly before blushing and resuming her earlier sleeping position.

This gives me time to sort through those thoughts. (these are from Bella's POV so when it says "I" it means Bella if the writing is in italics =D )

'because I won't let her' I smiled, I tried to stop my heart fluttering in pleasure, shut up! Shut up! Shut up! stupid brain. Stupid Heart, Stupid world.

So she did know, deep down. It seemed to be bubbling to the surface though. Just that one memories made my heart ache to be listened to, I have never felt like this before and I know I would never feel this for anyone but Bella.

Then I realized the complications of my statement. Best friends did not stay in the same bed, I told myself off for that thought and pushed it aside, looking back to Edward.

She was constantly suppressing it, she didn't even know what "it" was but I did. And It took all my strength not to kiss her right now. I smiled giddily, I knew Jasper could feel my happiness, I didn't care I felt like I was on cloud nine.

I went further back, to less recent memories, the ones I didn't expect to find anything in.

Then as you turned the corner, there were thousands of easels, paints, aprons, pallets, brushes, everything. Then my eyes settled on the beautiful instrument in the corner, a large white grand piano-this is what had caused me to gasp.

'You play?' she asked, I shook my head

'No, I never really got a chance or the opportunity to do much other than read, reading is cheep' I explained, she smiled sympathetically. Then signalled towards the art materials 'I can't paint either' I said wearily looking at the paint. She chimed a laugh, 'You don't have to, just express yourself, it fills time up' I nodded

'Thank you' I hugged her, and she left.

That was the first time I take it, when she started developing her extravagant talents. I was sad I had missed it, but pleased now that I have her memory to substitute. I went through the last few when I came across Esme and Carlisle saying that something Bella had done was beautiful (just in case you don't remember it was just after she finished playing the piano) but I couldn't see what she had done, that annoyed me to no end.

'Bella that was beautiful' Carlisle said, proud. I blushed an embarrassing shade of red.

'Not really, I was just messing around' I said looking down.

'Don't be modest dear' Esme said quietly.

'I didn't mean to upset you' I said, feeling bad,

'I'm not sad Bella, you just remind me so much of Edward, it makes me miss him' Esme explained. I frowned.

'I don't want to make you miss him' I said, she smiled weakly,

'I just wish he would come back' she whimpered.

I hadn't really considered how much I had hurt Esme but what hurt me more was seeing the emptiness in Bella's eyes. She looked lifeless, although she acted normally she seemed nearly…dead it scared me and I hugged her tighter to my side reflexively.

'OW!' Emmet called,

'Yes! Finally' I practically yelled,

'I told you, you would get it' Jasper praised,

'And I wish you hadn't, does anyone even care that there's a dying vamp on the floor?' Emmet groaned, and I heard Rosalie shout No! this annoyed Emmet.

'She only did a little Shock' Jasper reminded him.

'Ugh' he groaned. I beamed, I liked this, imagine what I could do at full strength.

That's when she first shocked someone, I wished I had been there, and finally the last memory that slipped out of her wonderful mind reminded.

'Alice? Can I not leave you alone for any amount of time?' I recognised that voice, I looked towards the door way, I beamed. He was here, he came back. I forgot my confusion, my pain, and my hurt as soon as I saw him.

She hadn't cared about all the pain I had put her through, she just wanted me with her. And that was the most beautiful thing about her, she was selfless. And I hated myself for not giving her everything on the planet, but I couldn't do that until I know for sure. Know that she doesn't have a chance at a normal life, If she does then she maybe for a crush and get over it. No matter how much I wish she wouldn't, she would get over it, she would have to get over me.

Bella's POV

I leant up and looked at the clock, I growled. 'Edward' I warned, he was right next to me, as always. 'hmm' he said absently as if he were debating something. 'you let me sleep for longer' I said annoyed, I knew as soon as I looked at his face I would give in. so I avoided his face.

'sorry, I thought you'd get better sooner if you had more rest' he said, I softened at his concerned at voice, but still rolled my eyes as my heart beat flat out. 'are you mad at me?' he asked, I suppressed a laugh at his worried tone.

'obviously, because you took advantage of my hospitality' I teased, he froze I smiled 'no, I'm not I know you only did it because you care' I said softly. I got up and took the medicine he spoon fed me, grimacing at the taste once again. I gulped the water down, and swallowed. 'no better than the last?' he asked, 'the medicine tastes worse but I feel better' I didn't sound as horse and it didn't hurt to talk much.

He smiled, 'now what did you want earlier?' he asked, I thought back thinking of my easel, brushes and paints. And then I heard a gasp and opened-what I now realized were-my closed eyes. All the things I had imagined were being suspended in the air. I lost concentration and they fell to the ground. All the paints were sealed and nothing made any mess, but I looked at Edward's shocked expression.

His mouth was hanging open, 'Edward? What did you do?' I asked, looking at my easel, brushes and paints on the carpet. He broke into a grin, 'I didn't do anything, that was amazing Bella' he said and I froze 'you mean…' he nodded, 'you have telekinesis'

My jaw dropped and I swear it was hitting the floor. 'I- what?' I asked, 'I don't even know how I did it' I muttered frustrated, what was the point of having a cool gift if you can't use it. 'it's ok I think I know how it works' he said. I smiled up at him 'will you help me?' he shook his head 'of corse, as if you have to ask' I did something to make it easier for him, and so that I could make him happy. I was going to keep my shield up all day. Edward could teach me while seeing my mind.

I know this was a little uneventful. I was planning on getting an scene in but it didn't happen, sorry. As posted at the beginning (I don't know if you read it if you ave them you can skip to the next paragraph) I want to ask a favour, could one or two of you review telling me the basic stuff you know about Bella, like name, age, powers and stuff like that when I'm writing I don't know if I get what I'm thinking on paper. I just want to know if you got what I wanted you to get. If that makes sense. Thanks =)

I wanted another visit from the Denali's in next chapter tell me what you think, I wanted Bella all possessive and angry while using all her new powers :D well minus the ones I haven't told you.

SPOILER! SORRY BUT I NEED OPINIONS! READ ON IF YOU WANT A SUPRIZE!

I am going to make either Edward or Bella run. I'm sorry but I have my mind set one of them has to leave. I was edging towards Bella, toughen her up a bit while she's away. Edward will have to break through all her walls again. But it will be more interesting with a new cryptic Bella *evil cackle* anyway tell me what you think thanks.

END OF SPOILER! END OF SPOILER!

Thank you for reading this far, it means a lot. Review please =) even if you don't like it I would like some answers to my questions.

Thank you,

Sasha XxxX
