Chapter 12: Something Special
BPOV
I crouched down and begged myself not to get harmed. A blue bubble resonated around me, protecting me from the attack. The scarred one came closer. "Bella, its me Jasper. Dont be afraid i wont hurt you." Jasper?... I thought long and hard and sniffed the air, Cinamon and tobacco. Jasper! My bubble collapsed as i staggered into his arms. "Hunt, please" I whispered somewhat shocked at the new tone of my voice. Putting my bubble up had taken alot of energy out of me and the burn in my throat was impossible to ignore. We were running through the forest when i heard. Damn she's beautiful. I looked back to him and said thanks. "Why did you say thanks?" he said confused. "You said i was beautiful, that or you were reffering to the trees. They are pretty beautiful, so many colours." i giggled. "Bella i didnt say it, i thought it." I stopped. "Well thats bloody great, i have emowards power." i sighed and punched a tree over. Jasper laughed and hugged me. "It's not that bad darlin' , I'll have to be careful what i think of you from now on." He winked and i felt his lust overcome me. I gasped and slid to the floor. "Jasper... think of something that really hurts you ok... dont ask just do it please." He nodded and concentrated hard. I felt his hopelessness, his anger.. his guilt. "Well i'll be damned, your feeling hopeless guilty and angry right?" I smiled. "No way!" He smiled and hugged me. "Well you didnt think after you bit my neck and above my heart that i wouldnt get your special gift" i winked. He chuckled.
We hunted and sat down. Well damn that was messy. "Well it was your first time." Jasper replied. "Okay, that was odd. I thought that was messy and you heard me and replied." I rubbed my head. Trust me to be difficult even in immortality. Your not difficult darlin' just a bit special. "Okay thats creepy! I just heard your thoughts in retaliation to mine." "Well those blind people who said you were plain, well they can go stuff themselves. Your perfect darlin'." He smiled and hugged me again. I sensed his feeling of love for me, thats when the memory kicked in. They all approached me, Jasper first. He leaned into my neck and whispered softly "I love you." before kissing then biting my neck. It was like i was watching from afar. As if the person before me was someone completely different. "Jasper..." i whispered. "Yes?" he replied curiously. I decided to try and force the memory into his head, seeing as i could hear his thoughts and i could project my own. He smiled and i knew he could see it. "I do you know... Love you." He smiled. I ran up to him and tackled him to the ground accidentally. "Oops" I smirked. I crashed my lips to his, he no longer felt cold and hard. He was soft, warm and gentle. i felt a twinge of pain coming from Jasper and i jumped up. "Sorry, im still getting used to my strength." i smiled shyly. "We should get you back, your shirt's...well.. in scraps." he groaned. Another wave of lust was sent my way and i moaned, making Jasper grin. "Cheat." i shouted after him.
Before i got to the house i called for Alice and she ran me to her room. "Here, and you really need to check yourself out in the mirror your beautiful!" she chirped handing me a new shirt. Slipping it on and carefully doing up the buttons i walk into her bathroom and stare into the mirror. Was that really me? Two blood red eyes stared back at me as i took in my reflection. My hair was darker, falling almost to my waist. My skin was pale white, no doubt ice cold. My breasts had become huge! Thank you immortality, you work better than god. I chuckled and i heard Jasper laugh. We'll discuss this later ok, now out of my head you go Jas. All of a sudden my mind felt alone, i knew id kicked him out. Trailing my eyes down my own body i see that my muscles are more toned and my hips a little bit wider to even out the boobs. Tears pooled my eyes, i was beautiful. I walked out and Alice hugged me. "See told you so." She chirped. I walked downstairs, allowing my connection with Jasper to open up. I'd need his help. Hey darlin' missed ya. I cant believe you heard me, i feel so embarrassed. Guess thats what you get when your m... nevermind. I met him in the lounge and the others approached anxiously. "Its ok i wont bite you, promise" I smiled. With that a wave of hugs barracaded me. First from Esme, then a bone crunching hug from Emmett, a small polite one from Rosalie and a fatherly hug from Carlisle.
"First of all Bella we'd like to give you this." Carlisle said with his hand outstretched containing a black box. I opened it and was filled with joy. It was a braclet with the Cullen crest on it. "Wow, thank you so much." I began to sob. Jasper pulled me into his arms and fastened the bracelet on my wrist. "Your one of us now Bella, we do of course have a small problem. We will need your name changed. Any ideas?" he smiled. "Well id like to keep my first name if thats ok, and i dont mind being a Cullen... if your ok with that." I asked. Shame she cant have my name right now. I raised my eyebrows at Jasper who instantly shied away. "Thats perfect, Jasper you'll get it sorted and Bella i believe you have something to tell us." Carlisle said almost shaking from excitement. I see Alice has had an influence on him. Jasper smiled and left me to go sort my name change out. "Well ive found out i have a gift, well more than one it seems." I announced. Everyone looked happy, even Edward who bothered to raise his head from a book he was reading. "I can shield myself as you've seen but i can also read minds and project thoughts and images onto others and i might be slightly empathic." i whispered. Edward rose immediatly. "Can you read my mind?" He asked. "I could if i wanted to but i dont desire to at this moment, so i guess my shield is blocking the thoughts i dont want to recieve." i whispered. He nodded and sat himself down. I eagerly plunged into his mind. How interesting she gets my gift and Jasper's, I wonder why i cant hear his mind anymore. Could she have something to do with it? He thought. I couldnt stop myself. Why yes Edward, it does have something to do with me...thats not a problem is it? I smiled his way, his mouth hung open. Carlisle looked at me curiously so i let him see. I was just teasing Edward, he wants to know why he cant hear Jasper's thoughts anymore... its my fault really.
Carlisle beamed. "We will have to start training you soon, your gifts seem very powerful. We may need to call on Eleazer. Edward call them and arrange things. He will be most thrilled to see how advanced you are Isabella." I nodded. Rosalie grabbed my hand and pulled me to her and Emmetts room. I tried to ignore the leopard print bedding but i smiled anyways. "Look Bella i know i have been a bitch to you in the past. And i know its no excuse but i was jealous. You could have the one thing i couldnt, a life and a child. Please dont think ill of me. I've heard you can see peoples minds so id like to show you rather than tell you my story. If thats ok." she asked nervously. I nodded and opened a link between her mind and mine. My head was flooded with images of a young Rosalie, still as beautiful as a human. I felt her want and need when she saw her friend with her son. Her images focused on his face. Big brown eyes, dark black curls and a beautiful smile. I knew this is why she turned Emmett. I reached for her hand when i saw her get attacked by her fiancé as he left her there to die. I saw through her eyes as they insulted her and beat her. I started sobbing with her. I closed the channel and pulled her into my arms. "I'm so sorry Rosalie. I had no idea." We cried in each others arms untill the light began pouring in. "I'm glad to have you as my sister." she whispered. I smiled and led her back downstairs where she was comforted by Emmett. I smiled as i felt how deep their love was. Rosalie may be a strong person, but she needed someone to rely on and that was Emmett.
Honey im home. I heard Jaspers thoughts. I smilled then greeted him with a hug. "Oh Bella i almost forgot, we have your room ready if you wish to see it" Esme bounced. That would be lovely Esme. I smiled as her eyes widened, she then dragged me up the stairs leaving Jasper laughing hard. She pushed the door open and i was in love already. Mint green walls with a huge, and i mean huge, sliver mirror hanging from it. The bed was beautiful, ivory wood that had been carved with spirals. It was a double bed with white and silver bedsheets. "It was handmade you know, the bed frame. Bet you cant guess who" Esme winked. I'd have to thank Jasper later. "That over there is your big walk in wardrobe courtesy of Alice." She smiled pointing over to the door closest to my bed. Esme spun around. "And that over there is your private bathroom. I'll leave you to get aqquainted with your room." She beamed. "Thank you Esme, so much. Its beautiful." She hugged me then ran off. Jasper Hale get your ass here now! He was by my side in minutes giving me the innocent puppy dog eyes. "Dont try and hide it i feel your mischieviousness." i smirked. "Thank you for the bed, its beautiful" I smiled as i kissed him. "WHAT THE FUCK!" We broke apart to Edward glaring at us. His hate and rage consumed me making me fall to my knees.
