Chapter 13

BPOV

Fooling Charlie into thinking I was sick was easy, I hadn't slept very well and it seemed like the powers that I had used last night drained me, and he was almost worried enough to call the Dr. but I told him that Carlisle could check me out if he was that worried and he was cool with that. Once he was gone for the day, I quickly showered, dressed and prepared to head out to meet Eleazar, my stomach was in knots wondering just what this man would be able to find out about me.

Even though he wasn't in the house with me, I knew that Edward and his family were outside spread out around the house setting up a perimeter; as Jasper had called it to keep any wolves that might be lurking at bay.

Looking in the mirror; I was appraising the cardigan and jeans that I had chosen; not that Eleazar was likely to judge my wardrobe I figured Alice would be happier if I wore this then a Henley and jeans.

"I love that color on you" Edward said and I jumped as he scared me with his stealth and he chuckled at me, picking up a shoe I chucked it at him; missing him by about three feet.

"Ready" he asked, taking my hand in his and when I nodded, he pulled me onto his back and headed to the window.

"I do have a door you know" I said as he prepared to jump.

"Well I don't want you to be seen walking out the front door, and jumping is way more fun" he said and he leapt from my window like it was only one step down.

Heading into the woods, Jasper, Rose, Emmet and Carlisle flanked in around us keeping a wide berth was we made our way back to the Cullen's. I saw the white Mercedes in the driveway, and wondered if all vampires had such good taste as the ones around here.

"Eleazar, my friend; welcome back" Carlisle said hugging the visiting vampire, who now that I had a better look at him. He was tall, lanky built like Edward with longer brown hair, he looked like a Spanish god.

"This must be Bella" he said his accent still thick even after what probably was centuries of living away from his native lands.

"It's nice to meet you" I said shaking his cold hand, the icy cold hadn't registered to me for some time now.

"I was told that you are very special young one, and now that I have met you I can that your gifts are just more then physical ones" he said his topaz eyes not leaving mine.

"Can you explain" Edward said, and I knew that although he was reading Eleazar's thoughts he wanted him to share with the rest of us.

"Even as a human, you are very powerful. It's lain dormant for some time but it seems to be gaining strength" he said turning to Edward. "You said that last night she could channel her energy to hit targets".

Emmett obviously remembering his urges to love on Edward made a small noise, as the rest of the family laughed.

"Yes, she used a type of force field when we were being attacked, and then she can block and re-direct Jasper's gifts" Edward told him as we all listened on.

I hadn't noticed the lack of Esme's presence until she entered the room accompanied by a tall female with long curly strawberry blonde hair; while she didn't have Rosalie's beauty she was running a close second, and the minute her eyes saw Edward they twinkled with a look that was only too familiar, it was the same look I felt like I gave him.

"Tanya, welcome" Carlisle said greeting her. "We didn't know that you were here".

"When I heard Eleazar planning his trip down here, I had to come and visit you all, I have missed everyone" she said in her twinkling bell voice. By the looks I saw around the room, her feelings were not shared by all, and especially by Edward; his body was tense and I wondered just what the story was behind it.

"Please go on" Edward said turning back to Eleazar whose eyes had not left me when Tanya made her entrance.

"I read the information that you sent me last night about the Elita legend, and while I do see a great shielding strength within her, there is more; much more that has not come to play yet, most of her gifts will not come around until she is changed but what I can read right now, she has the power of telekinesis; that ability to move objects with her mind; which she did last night with the wolves, they were a threat and you needed a clear path, Bella gave you one. She also is what we could call a sponge for the lack of a better word, as with last night when Jasper was trying to slip her a mental mickey she used his own power and sent it back to him, or to Emmett. Therefore she imbibes power, and she may still as time goes on, but its physically and emotionally draining for her right now, so she shouldn't try to do this unless absolutely necessary" he finished and the room was silent.

"Very interesting" Carlisle said to his old friend, "What do you think will happen if she does become one of us, or if she doesn't? If she were to be taken by the wolves could they use her powers to their advantage" he asked.

"Ah the wolves, while they are special creatures in themselves, Bella's powers would still be just that Bella's, sure if she chose to she could use them against you; to benefit the wolves, but that would be all. However she would not come into any of her other gifts, as she wouldn't become a vampire, only when she is turned will the rest come out." He said while turning to face Carlisle who was the leader of this family.

"You are going to change her; her bond with you is already very strong and she is clearly the mate of young Edward." He asked and I looked around to see the answer.

"Edward" Carlisle asked him, and I knew that he was talking to Edward with his thoughts.

We hadn't spoken about me becoming one of them, and I wondered what Edwards's stance would be on it. I also wondered if my sponge ability as Eleazar had put it would work with Edwards power, it would be nice to know the thoughts of others; well sometimes.

"Bella and I have not discussed this yet" he started and I cut over him.

"I would gladly become one of you, if you would have me" I said wondering what they were thinking.

Clearing my mind, I tried to focus as hard as I could on their thoughts; it took thirty seconds before I heard the first thought.

"I really hope he changes her and soon, she is in desperate need of a wardrobe; I mean at least she tried but she should have paired it with some cute brown knee boots" I heard Alice critiquing me.

"I adore Bella, and so does Edward; just look at the two of them, Oh the wedding Alice and I could plan them, we could do it in the backyard with white lights and flowers" Esme was planning our wedding, my heart skipped a few beats hearing this and Edward glanced at me.

"Dude, the sox are playing the pirates, hopefully we get this all over with" Emmett said, and a laughed at his impatience with my future.

"I wish that Bella would pick one emotion and stay with it, first she was happy, then annoyed, then ecstatic and then amused, I would calm her down but after last nights nap; I don't think that will happen for a long time. I need to talk to Edward about Tanya also, she is putting out some powerful jealousy and hatred towards Bella right now" Jasper finished and both Edward and I looked at Jasper at the last statement.

Looking towards Tanya, I saw her still focused on Edward; I was having trouble tuning into her thoughts, maybe she was blocking Edward, if he couldn't hear her then maybe I couldn't either; with the pretense of getting some juice from the table I walked away from Edward, and focused harder on just her.

For a minute I could sense that I had broken through, I could feel her emotion through Jasper and I could make out one word, and it sounded familiar.

"Volturi"

AN: So, I hope that this chapter did not disappoint, my thoughts are all over the place right now and it has the ability to branch off several different ways.

Please Review, I apologize for not answering reviews I was trying to get this chapter out. I will answer these reviews with a little added excerpt, of someone's POV..
