Chapter 12
BPOV
We ran for another few minutes, Edward still in my arms. I had to control my laughing that was bursting to escape my lips at our situation. I was so used to being on Edward's back, feeling the wind rush through my hair. It's kind of weird running just as fast, carrying him in my arms. I was focused on Charlie's scent up ahead but could still see Edward's gaze upon my face.
"What?" I asked him, breaking my gaze from the forest ahead of my and landing on his eyes. His eyes were boring into my face, filled with lust and love. He didn't say anything. I waved my hand in front of his face and he blinked and shook his head. He looked up at me apologetically.
"Sorry, it's just that you are so beautiful it's hard to keep my eyes away from you. I had no idea you could get even more beautiful, but I was wrong." He said sincerely. I rolled my eyes and stopped running. "Bella? Is everything okay?" Edward said softy. I smirked and then moved my arms away from Edward's body and he went crashing to the ground.
I just stared at his bewildered face before I started laughing, again. Edward stood up, with a mischievous glint in his eye. I froze and he started to get off the ground. Edward had his hands up in the shape of claws as they moved towards my body, I screamed playfully and tried to run away, but I wasn't fast enough and Edward captured my body in his arms and pushed me to the ground as his hands found contact with my body and started tickling me senseless.
"Ah! Hahaha, Edward…Edward…STOP!" I said between giggles. He just smiled at me.
"I don't think I can Bella." He said.
"Stop..ah…EdWARD!" I screamed while laughing. Edward didn't stop and it felt like my lungs were about to explode. I knew he wasn't going to stop so I grabbed his arms in my iron grasp and glared at him.
Edward stopped laughing with me immediately and took in my expression. His face was blank as I stood up, heaving him up with me. I relaxed my face and then smirked at him. He started laughing. I released one hand from his arm and put a finger to his lips to silence him. I leaned forward so that my mouth was right outside his ear.
"I wouldn't laugh if I was you in this situation." I whispered and leaned back to take in his expression. His eyes were wide, his mouth hanging open I giggled at him then smirked evilly grabbed his other arm and with all of my strength lifted him off of the ground and heaved him into the forest.
I watched his body fly over the canopy and then land far away. I could tell when he landed because I could hear a thud followed by Edward's velvet voice, oof. I started laughing to myself before I smelt something coming closer to my location.
I heard Edward come back as I growled at the on-coming thing and crouched down low, my arms spread wide, trying to tell Edward to stay back. Edward froze, taking in my position I presume.
"Bella? What is it?" Edward said extremely quietly. But with my new super hearing, I heard it clearly.
I heard it coming closer, and a feral snarl ripped through my mouth. I had no idea what was coming over me, but I knew that I had to protect myself and Edward from whatever it was. Then the thing spoke.
"Easy Bells, it's just me." Said the familiar voice. Charlie. Oh, how embarrassing. I stood up normally and brushed myself off. Charlie then came through the bush, humor evident all over his face. Wait a second, did I just growl and snarl. I froze and Edward rushed over to me quickly and wrapped his arms around my waist and Charlie came over to me too.
"What is it?" They both said in unison. I tried to clear my head. What did I just do?
"I-I-I snarled and-and-and growled. What happened? I had no idea what came over me, I just crouched and then snarled and…" I trailed off, a bit shocked. Charlie and Edward's face softened.
"Bella love, it's okay. It's just instinct. You thought there was threat and you're instincts took over, trying to protect yourself and me." Edward said, his voice like honey. I nodded absentmindedly. Charlie took my hand.
"Are you ready to learn what you can do?" He asked, a smile on his face. I grinned at him.
"Oh yeah, I'm ready." I said confidently. Both my father and the love of my life got massive grins on their faces.
"Okay, lets go." Charlie said, and then looked to Edward. "Do you need Bella to carry you again?" He said, looking like he's about to burst out laughing. Edward growled at him playfully and I growled at Edward who froze ands then looked at me, his eyes wide. I smiled at him and then raced after Charlie who just took off into the forest. I could barely hear Edward's footsteps and I laughed.
"What are you laughing at." I heard Edward yell at me from his position. I just laughed harder.
"Need help?" I asked. But I didn't give him time to answer. I ran to him picked him up in my arms again and then bolted after Charlie again, smirking at Edward. He just gazed into my eyes again and mouthed "I love you" I just smiled at him and bent down to kiss his lips softly.
We ran for about 10 minutes until I heard Charlie come to a standstill. I stopped just behind him and took in my surroundings. Charlie turned around to face me, took in Edward and then started laughing, I just giggled and Edward started laughing too. I placed Edward back onto the ground and grabbed his hand.
Charlie composed himself and then looked to me.
"Okay, are you ready?" He asked again. I nodded.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I smiled.
Charlie smiled back at me and motioned me forward. I glanced up at Edward who squeezed my hand and gave me an encouraging smile. I stepped forward and went to Charlie's side. He held my hand and also squeezed it.
"Okay, first, I'll tell you again about your powers."
I took a deep breath. "Okay." Charlie squeezed my hand again.
"Now, other than immense strength, you have amazing powers. They will help you in all situations. Now remember, we are almost exactly like vampires, but different. We can produce force fields, to protect us and everybody around us. We can shape-shift, turn into anything we want. We can run twice as fast, if not faster, than a vampire. We can control elements, like water, fire, earth and air. We can fly, which personally, I think is awesome." Edward and I laughed.
"We can absorb any vampire power, whenever we choose. Don't worry Edward; I don't have your power, because I don't want it. It would be too annoying," Charlie scrunched up his face and Edward laughed. "We are also brilliant fighters, and are very witty. We are skilled in the sense of attack and defense, especially defense. So Bella, overall we are very powerful, and that is why we are the Protectors." Charlie concluded. I nodded and Edward was standing there in awe.
"How come I never 'heard' about any of this?" Edward asked and Charlie grinned.
"I forgot about that one." He said. "Well, Edward, we can also plant thoughts into someone's head, and we can block powers. Hence, you not being able to read Bella's mind and not 'hearing' any thoughts of mine that related to being a Guardian. I planted my thoughts into your mind, so that you wouldn't get suspicious, and I blocked Bella's mind just in case she thought about it near you."
Realization dawned on Edward's face and he smiled down at me.
"Do you think you could unblock Bella's mind from me now? It is entirely frustrating when I don't know what is going on in her beautiful mind." Edward pleaded, my eyes went wide.
"I guess that would be Bella's decision." Charlie said, smirking at my reaction. I inwardly cheered.
"It can stay blocked." I said frantically. I looked over to Edward…bad decision. His eyes were smoldering with sadness and rejection. I almost, almost caved but I looked away quickly.
"No Edward, I like the way things are. I like being different." I said confidently. I then felt two warm arms around my waist as Edward buried his face into my hair.
"Okay then." He whispered and I shivered. I could feel Edwards smirk rise up onto his face.
"Bella, do you want to test out you're new talents?" Charlie said, interrupting Edward's and my moment. I pulled away from Edward and smiled at Charlie.
"Yes." I said. Charlie nodded.
"Okay, first, I want to try the force field." He said.
"How do I do it?" I asked.
"Most of the time, you will use a force field in defense. So, I want you to imagine that Edward is under attack, he is too weak to fight off the intruder," Edward scoffed and Charlie shot him a look, "Close your eyes Bella." I did as he said and he then continued. "Imagine that Edward is about to be killed and you would do anything to stop it."
At this moment I had a pretty horrible picture in my mind, it was almost as if it was real. I could see Edward, lying on the forest floor, fighting for his life. Tears started to well up in my eyes and then the determination to save him hit me. I shot my hands forward feeling a force leave my hands.
"Well done Bella!" Charlie shouted and hugged me tightly. I opened my eyes and saw Edward encased in a barely visible blue bubble. I gasped and ran over to Edward. But I got stopped by the force field and was hurtled back toward the ground.
"Bella! Are you okay!?" Edward frantically yelled through the force field, using all of his strength to get through it. I got up and brushed myself off.
"I'm fine." I mumbled and looked to Charlie who was smiling at me.
"How do I get him out?" I asked him. Charlie walked over to me and grinned at Edward.
"Place your hands on the outside of the bubble." I did as he said. "Good, now I want you say 'Canturan'" I looked at Charlie, puzzled. He looked at me. "I'll tell you later." He said and I nodded.
I got a firm grip on the force field, closed my eyes and then whispered "Canturan"
The force field disappeared and I was soon in Edward's arms. I hugged him tightly back and he flinched. I pulled back immediately and looked at his face worriedly.
Edward smiled at me. "You hugged me a bit too tightly love." He said and I laughed.
"Sorry." I mumbled. He smiled at me and then kissed me. I smiled into the kiss and he smiled back.
"Bella? You ready for the next power?" Charlie asked, grinning. I grinned and nodded my head.
"You go get 'em tiger." Edward said and then growled playfully and I growled playfully back at him. I looked up at Charlie.
"Okay, we're going to do shape-shifting now." He said, smiling. This power sounded awesome, so I was really excited to try it.
"Yay." I said smiling and Charlie laughed.
'Okay, I want you to picture someone or something." I pictured Rosalie. "Okay, now I want you to focus on every little detail about them and picture yourself changing into them." I did so and then it felt like I was in the ocean, surrounded by water.
I heard Edward gasp and my eyes flew open. I looked down at myself and sure enough I was now Rosalie. I was beautiful. I smiled widely.
"This is awesome." I said, but my voice was different. I now sounded like Rosalie as well! Haha, I love this. I started to run around. My blonde hair flying around.
Edward caught up to me seeing as I was only running at vampire speed. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and stopped me from running.
"Can you change back please? It's a bit off putting knowing I'm in love with my sister." He said while I laughed.
"Sure." I said, turning to Charlie.
"Just do the same thing as before but picture yourself." He said and I smiled, closed my eyes and thought about every single detail of myself. Sure enough I felt the water encase me again and when it was finished I opened my eyes and looked down, and sure enough, I was back to me again.
Edward kissed me passionately. Our lips moving in complete synchronization. We continued kissing until I heard someone clearing their throat. We pulled apart and I saw Charlie looking at us. I bit my lip and looked down. Charlie just started laughing.
"Okay, now that you've had you're fun, ready to try one more before we go home?" Charlie asked. I nodded.
"Go ahead." I said. Charlie nodded and grinned at me.
"Now we'll do the elements." He said.
"Okay then, let's do this." I said. Charlie laughed.
"Well, all of our powers are easy to perform; all you really have to do is concentrate. So, I want you to concentrate on either water, fire, earth or air." I had a plan forming in my head and picked water. "Okay, now you move the element with your hands. So, if you want to pick up a rock, you raise your hands and so on and so forth." So I raised my hands and opened my eyes too see a puddle of water rising from the tiny little creek off in the distance. I smiled and moved my hands to the right, to where Edward stood.
Once the puddle was above his head, I lowered my hands quickly and the puddle of water fell down onto Edward. All of this happened in about one second so Edward didn't have a chance to react.
I looked over to Edward to see him soaking wet. His hair was in his eyes and his shirt stuck to his masculine chest. I sucked in a deep breath, calming myself down. I could see every single contour on his arms. Edward chuckled and I raised my gaze to see him staring at me with his eyebrows raised. I smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry." I mumbled. Edward just smirked and ran over to me so quickly I could react. He scooped me up and ran towards the creak, I realized his intentions and started screaming playfully.
"Edward! Ahh! Don't you dare!" I yelled. Edward just laughed, and then I felt myself flying through the air. In the same second I landed in the water. Getting soaked completely. I jumped up as soon as I could, the dress not helping my situation. I ran to the shore and ran into Edward and tackled him to the ground.
I landed on top of him laughing my head off. Edward was laughing as well and it sounded so musical.
"I love you Bella." He said just before I crashed my lips to his.
Haha, awww, how cute :D
