Hello there my dear readers,
I chose to try something new. How about I post the next chapter when the story reachs 11 reviews? It would really mean a lot to me. But just in case it doesn't work the new chapter will come up soon though.
Your Katniss139
Once I enter the living room Edward glares at me.
Okay that's new. We got along quite well over the past weeks so why is he so hostile now again.
"Do you have a problem?", I raise an eyebrow at him.
"I can't read your thoughts", Edward announces. "Actually I can't read anyones thoughts."
"Your wife is a shield", I roll my eyes as I sit down in an armchair.
The Cullen boys were all gathered in the living room, playing video games.
I couldn't see any of the girls or Felix though.
"Bella is out hunting with Renesmee", he shales his head. "Jazz does your power work on her?"
"I am busy", the empath growls at Edward not even looking up.
I glance at the tv screen, obvious Jasper is just about to loose against Emmet. I don't get it why these guys are so obsessed with their playstation.
"Jasper please this is important", Edward groans annoyed.
"Come on", Emmett laughs loudly as he pushs his ellbow against his brothers. "Try your power. You lost anyway, loser."
For a second I am actually worried the always so calm Jasper may rip Emmetts head off but he just hisses in frustration.
After they ended their match, the empath turns around to face me.
"I sense nothing", he shakes his head. "That's really weird. Jane would you try if yours works?"
"On whom?", I raise an eyebrow irritated.
Usually I am forbidden to torture anyone but obvious they think it's my fault that their abilities don't work.
"Me", Emmett gets up to stand in front of me. "I always kind of wanted to know how it feels like."
I nod and smile my torture smile at him but nothing happens. That never happened wkthout a shield being involved. I clench my teeth in anger and try it again but still nothing.
"It doesn't work", I scream out furious as I focus on the other men with the same result.
"I'll call Carlisle", Edward grabs his phone. "Emmet you go out and see if there is another vampire around. Jasper you call the girls."
I watch them annoyed. They are totally overreacting. I am sure there is some really simple explanation why our powers are not working.
To be at least a little bit useful, I call Aro at home in Volterra.
"My beloved Jane", he greets me, happy. "It's such a pleasure to hear your lovely voice again. How can I help you?"
I roll my eyes at his voice but try to not let my annoyance be heard. "My master we have a problem here in Canada. Something is blocking all our powers andit has nothing to do with the shield. Have you any idea how that is possible?"
"No my dear", Aro replies obvious amazed again. "but that is very interesting. I would love for you all to come and visit me, sweet child to find out more."
"I'll talk to them", I promise my master before hanging up.
By the time I finished my talk, Felix and the Cullen girls are already back. Alice immediately wraps her arms around me, rocking me slightly.
"I am sure you'll need some time to progress everything", she whispers to me. "I won't tell anyone though."
"Thanks Alice", I pull away from her.
"Renesmee try to show me what you did today please", Edward asks his daughter, pulling all the attention to him.
The small girl places her hand on his cheek but by the frown on his face it doesn't work either.
"I found nothing", Emmett announces as he enters the house again.
"What is going on?", Felix asks as he steps closer to me.
Back in Volterra when we were on missions Felix was always the one who was supposed to protect me. He was basically my own guard as well as Demetri and even Alec. All three of them had order from the masters to keep me save even if it costs them their lives.
"None of our powers work", Jasper explains him. "We were already trying to find a intruder but there is nobody."
"Maybe we should call Demetri and Alec", Felix suggests full in Volturi guard mood.
"That's not necessary", I glare at him with my most intimitating stare. "I am sure the Cullens are more than just capable to take care of this situation as well."
He looks down at me, irritated. "Wait a second, Jane. Why are you here and they are not?"
I flinch deeply as I take a step away from him. I can't tell anyone what happened at least not yet. I need to sort things out with Alec first.
"Right now my power may not work, Felix", I growl at him. "But I am still a high ranked guard member and you have to obey my orders. And I order you to not call anybody or otherwise I will inform the masters about your disobeyance and disrespect towards me."
"I understand, ma'am", Felix says after a second and bows down to me. "I am sorry for asking."
I turn away from him and face the Cullens with a stony expression. "I'll be in room if you need me."
I storm upstairs and lock the door quickly. The second I fall on my bed, I start sobbing loudly.
This whole situation is just so overwhelming. I curl up on the bed and wrap my arms around my legs tightly.
Right now I wish Alec was here to hold me in his arms and comfort me like he did for as long as I can remember. Everything I believed in was a lie, my whole life is one big farce.
I hear how someone enters my room and sits down besides me. I know from the scent that it is Esme who pulls me in her arms. I cling to her as she strokes my back gently.
"Please stop crying", she whispers to me. I haven't even noticed that I was sobbing. "I don't know what happened in egypt but I am sure you will sort it out."
"It's not just that", I sob loudly. "There are so many things at the moment. I am loosing control over my life."
"Would you like to talk about it?", Esme offers me.
"No", I shake my head just clinging to her. "I just want to be alone."
She nods and tries to get up but I hold onto her. "It's okay. I'll stay but Carlisle will have to check on you."
We just sit here for a while until Carlisle calls me to his office. This whole behavior is so unlike me. I never was so emotional before, not in my early vampire years and not in my human lifes. Well that's not completely true, I was so hormonal for a while but that had to do with hormones and vampires do not have any.
I let Esme lead me there and sit down on the bridge, confused.
"Why am I being checked over?", I ask him weakly.
"Edward thinks it could have something to do with your stay in egypt", he informs me as he runs some ridiculous tests on me. "Esme could you leave Jane and me alone please."
Esme nods and leaves before I get the chance to protest.
"Jane please lay down for a second", Carlisle asks me suddenly all nervous. "And pull your shirt up."
I do as he said, confused. I never saw Carlisle like this before. He was always so controlled and calm.
"What are you doing?", I asks him as he does an ultrasonic testing on me. "This doesn't work on vamp-" I stop midsentence when I hear an flutter coming from the machine. "Is that-?"
Carlisle nods as he sits down on the bridge besides me. "It is impossible! This really is truly impossible!"
"Maybe this thing is broken or something", I stutter as I sit up desperate. "Try it again."
"Edward!", he calls loudly instead. "I need you here for a second."
The mind reader has already entered the room before I can protest against it.
Edward runs the same ultrasonic testing on me as Carlisle did and there it is again. The same light fluttering sound.
"That's impossible but well we were wrong before", Edward says as he sits on the chair he has pulled over. "Carlisle this is amazing."
Great now the mind reader goes all Aro on us with his amazing. And what is it with this Cullens and sitting down when something shocking happens. Did they forget that we are all vampires and don't need to sit down?
"Could someone please talk to me?", I hiss at the two men who started to discuss with each other.
They look towards me, excited. "Jane, you are pregnant."
