"Dionne this is Edward and Bella. That's their daughter Renesmee or Ness," he said pointing out the couple on the love seat. They smiled at me encouragingly. I looked at their beautiful daughter who I could clearly see was their child. She looked just like them taking her mother's curly hair but her father's coppery color. She had brown eyes unlike the rest of the people in the room. I wondered at that.
"Bella was human when she was born," the one called Edward said. I nodded confused at how he answered my silent question. Embry sighed.
"Sorry Dee, I forgot to tell you Edward can read minds," he said shooting Edward a frown. Oh lord. I thought and blushed. "Don't worry you get used to it." I nodded trying not to think of anything and I saw Edward give a small smile.
"That's Rosalie and Emmett," I smiled at the gorgeous blond who looked like she needed to be on a runway and the bear of a man who smiled broadly. Insignificant feelings returning.
"Alice and Jasper over there," and I looked at the reserved blond man and his…perky…I couldn't find another way to describe her, wife. She glided over to me gracefully and hugged me ignoring my gasp again.
"Oh Dionne I can see it now. We're going to love shopping together. You know there are other things to go out in nature with besides cargo shorts and combat boots. And we can find some with heels so you're taller too!" she said and I laughed but frowned a little.
"Can you read minds too?" I asked. She giggled her spiky hair moving a little.
"Oh no, I can see the future," she leaned closer. "We'll talk more later," she said in a conspiratorial whisper.
"And this is Carlisle the Doctor," he said. I raised my eyebrows at that one then shrugged. No point in even questioning it. I've seen enough to last a lifetime.
"It's nice to meet you all. Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful home," I said already thinking of how the scenery here would be perfect for another photo shoot. I would have to ask permission of course but…
"I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem," Edward said.
"Urrr…uh…thanks," I said a little flustered.
"Did I mention this takes a while to get used to," Embry said giving Edward a look. We all laughed. I was surprised how good of a cook Esme was considering she didn't even eat her own food. In honor of my heritage she made an array of Mexican food. It could rival my abuela's food! It was sooo good. Little Renesmee came up to me and lifted her hands up for me to hold her. I wiped them on a napkin and picked her up.
"You're pretty," she said smiling.
"You're pretty too," I said smiling back.
"Wanna see something?" she asked. I nodded and gasped when she placed her hands on my face and showed me the scene from earlier.
"Nessie you have to warn people before you do that," Jake chided pulling her hands off my face. She pouted.
"But I asked her if she wanted to see something," she said her bottom lip trembling.
"Yes but she doesn't know about your gifts," he said softly looking distraught that he hurt her feelings.
"Oh no its fine. It was really amazing, show me more," I encouraged. She placed her hands on my face and showed me memories she had. Ones of her parents and of Jake and even Embry. She showed me him when he had come to see them during the time that I didn't talk to him. I felt sad and my heart ached at what I put him through.
"Wow are you a vampire too?" Nessie asked. I frowned and Jake looked at her.
"No honey she's not," Jake said looking at me weirdly.
"But her eyes just changed colors. Can a human do that?" she asked innocently looking at me again. He shrugged and I laughed.
"Well I inherited it from mi bisabuela, my great-grandmother," I corrected myself.
"I got my eyes from my mommy but mine don't change color," she said. Edward walked in the room with Bella and they both looked at me curiously.
"Does that always happen?" he asked tilting his head to the side.
"Only when she's angry or upset," Embry said putting a hand around my shoulder.
"That is rather unusual," Edward said. I shrugged. "What do you know about your great-grandmother?" I shrugged trying to remember the stories.
"Well I heard that she was una curandera or a type of healer. You know the healing and mystical powers and all that good stuff. But those are just family tales that my papi told me to get me to go to sleep at night. I never actually believed them," I said. He regarded me curiously.
"Go on," he said encouragingly. I kept going aware that it was oddly quiet in the house as if everyone was listening to me.
"Well there is one story that was my favorite. Apparently abuelita had a special gift where she could speak to animals and even had the power to control the elements sometimes. She was a real nature woman always using herbs and things. Well my dad said that one night there was an injured owl that got stuck in the chimney. So abuelita climbed up there all by herself and got it and nursed it back to health. After that she and the owl were inseparable and sometimes my bisabuelo would hear her talking to the owl and he said the owl always looked as if he understood everything she was saying. She lived to be over a hundred and stayed alive until the day I was born. She held me in her arms and blessed me and whispered so low that only my papi could hear and said that she had been waiting for me. She died the next day and the strange thing was that the moment she passed the owl did too and I cried," I finished the story and looked up to see everybody looking at me with strange expressions on their faces.
"Wow," Embry finally said. "What do you think that means? You think she inherited her grandmother's gifts?" he asked Carlisle who I didn't even notice had come into the room.
"I'm not sure. I have no knowledge of the Wicca but it seems that it's a possibility. She's very nature oriented and she has the same eyes. It stands to reason that she just hasn't come into her…gifts yet," he said. "Dionne, I would like to meet with you tomorrow to discuss this more thoroughly. That is, if you don't mind?" he asked.
"Carlisle I don't think…" Embry started looking worried. I cut him off.
"That would be fine. I can put off nature pictures for another day or two. I'll be here for a long time," I said.
"Embry you're welcome to join us if that will make you more comfortable," Carlisle said. Embry nodded once. I ignored him as the wheels in my head started turning. I was more like my abuelita then I thought. The more I kept thinking about my personality and comparing it with stories I heard the more I was convinced that something was different. I actually loved nature and even my mother remarked that sometimes the weather seemed to enhance my emotions and I was always revitalized by a good rain storm. When I got back to Rachel's I kissed Embry good night and we promised to meet in the afternoon so he could take me over to the Cullens. He seemed preoccupied but so was I so I didn't worry much. I decided to call my father and talk to him a bit more about it.
Oh my, so maybe it's not normal for your eyes to change colors...hmm I wonder what that's about...lol some of you guys asked me and I'm so glad you pay attention, it makes me happy! Weiver please!
