Bella's POV- Forks

"You manipulated him!" I shoved Jasper roughly, he grimaced, but I didn't care.

Alice put a hand on my shoulder. "He wouldn't have said yes otherwise. Bella you need to calm down. We didn't do anything wrong."

Edward came up from behind and gripped be, tearing me away from Jasper. I didn't fight my love.

"It's fine Bella. You're here now, that's all that matters." He whispered against my neck and slowly kissed my collar bone, my chin and then my lips.

Damn him.

I shuddered quickly and found myself pulling Edward towards me. He smiled against my lips and moved his hands that were on my shoulders, to my waist. His teeth found my lower lip and he nibbled them. The sensation was unknown and a low rumble escaped my chest.

Alice's voice interrupted us. I was glad. I had completely forgotten she was there. "Kate and Eleazar will be leaving soon, they want to talk to you. They'll meet you outside."

I nodded and tore my body away from Edward. Jasper had dispersed from his position. Alice left now as well. Edward weaved his hand into mine and gave me a reassuring look. It was what I needed so I began heading downstairs.

Eleazar was leaning against his car and Kate was seated on the hood. Eleazar caught my attention first. "Hello Bella. I think it's best if I let Kate talk first. She seems to have grown quite fond of you."

Eleazar ignored Kate's growl, simply quietening her. "Well. You've done well Bella. Your gift is unbelievable, it's potential that of non we've ever seen before. If you keep practicing and exploring your gift I'm sure it will rival Alice's and Jane's."

I frowned, letting my shield drop I turned to Edward. James?

"She is one of the Volturi guard, she has the gift of making someone feel immense pain."

I shuddered before turning back to the others. Kate smiled the first smile I'd seen directed to me, and walked forward. She embraced me in a hug that was slightly awkward. But I didn't mind. "Thank you Kate. I couldn't have done it without you."

Kate chuckled. "I appreciate it, but I think you could have."

We both smiled at each other. Eleazar cleared his throat. "Now, as you know Carlisle and I, we've been rude lately. But both of us have come up with a rather compelling theory."

"What is it then?" I smiled encouragingly. Whatever he had to say he was uncomfortable with.

He nodded. "I'd like to remind you these are just theories. We have summarize that your inner shield, the one that protects you most, your blue shield. If applied correctly, it can act as a bridge between minds."

There were gasps from people. Even from inside the house. I stood silent though, my face a stony mask. "With this, we believe you have some form of control over people's mind. We aren't sure of the extent, but if you practice enough both Carlisle and I think that you will learn to control people. Whether that be there emotions or actions we aren't sure. It may be that you just see their memories."

I was silent. My mind was off somewhere else, thinking. Edward helped me. "Thank you Eleazar. Until we meet again."

the rest of the family must have said their goodbye's already. They entered their car, Kate smiling at me once more, before driving off. Edward turned to me worriedly and gripped my shoulders. "Bella? Love?"

I didn't have the ability to speak. I let the shield fall again and my mind poor out. I don't want to manipulate people's minds. I just want to shield people, how come that evolves into what Eleazar said? I'm a freak among vampires. I will always be a freak and-

Edward cut me off with a growl and before I knew it he was holding my shoulders tightly. "Never think that Bella. You will never be a freak. Don't worry love, you will always belong to us. Don't ever think we will abandon you."

His gaze was so intense, I was lost. It took a few moments for him to get my attention. "We need to hunt now Bella. You may like the distraction."

I nodded at the words as he lead me inside, calling out for Alice. I suppose Alice was going to hunt with us. She danced down the steps smiling and when she reached us she thread her arm through mine.

Edward grinned down at me. "Race my love?"

I nodded and began walking slowly to the door. Alice seemed to understand what I planned for when we reached the treeline I dashed off. The head start on Edward didn't do much, but I made it to the clearing first. Barely.

"That was hardly fair." He must have wanted to scare me, but his eyes were light with amusement.

I chuckled and began searching for some food. "I love you."

"I love you too Bella." He smiled and then dashed off to his right. I followed.

We reached a heard of elk quickly we both took one down and drank. My thirst made me messy, I got up and my hair was a mess and blood was smeared on my lips. I groaned and cleaned myself up. Edward on the other hand, was in the same mesmerizing state as before.

I growled lowly, I wanted to do better. I went for another one, bigger than the last. I took it down with care, not entirely giving into my thirst. I managed to snap it's neck and drink. No mess was made. I grinned.

I took down two more before burying the bodies. I hadn't kept and eye on Alice or Edward and they were now too far to see or hear. I didn't bother tracking them by their scent and just headed home.

It was early morning when I got back. No one was in sight. I headed to my room. I sat on my couch and pulled out a book. I really didn't need to sit. It was a few hours before Edward came back with Alice.

Alice 'yelled' up to me. "See you Bella."

"You too Alice." Edward had entered my room by now and sat, taking my book from my hands.

He looked at it, as if assessing the book. "I'm supposed to help you with your power."

"I don't see why I would dislike that." I grinned mischievously. I wouldn't mind spending some more time with Edward, although recently we've hardly been separate.

Edward grinned back and kissed me very quickly on the cheek. "The thing is, I don't think your gift can be taught. The theory of it, it's unheard of. You could compare it to my mind reading, or Jasper's control of emotions."

"What do I do then? What do I visualize?" I was suddenly feeling allot of pressure. As if I needed to perfect my gift for something.

Edward frowned. "I honestly don't know. You need to find that for yourself."

I groaned. "What do you visualize then?"

"I suppose, I don't exactly visualize. I have to focus in on someone and their thoughts become prominent. I'm constantly hearing everyone, but I can choose who to focus in on." Edward was having difficulty explaining.

I sighed. I would have to figure this one out on my own. "So how do we start?"

Edward nodded slowly. "We don't exactly have training sessions, not until you figure out if you even have that aspect of the gift. I would suggest you just keep trying to find something in someones head."

"Alright. Willing to be my test subject?" I wondered if I did figure this out, what I could do with it. Maybe I could read his mind.

"Yes. Anything for you love." Then he bent down and kissed me and I was happy for having my own room with a shut door. Not that it mattered with vampires int he house.

A whole week. I was growing worried. I still had the feeling that I needed to perfect my gift for something. I hadn't even found anything in anyone's head yet and not to mention that my shields were still difficult to control.

Mostly this week was just me and Edward enjoying each others time, but I had visited Jacob as well. He couldn't get over the fact I was a vampire. I on the other hand, couldn't get over the fact he was a werewolf.

I gave up trying to find it myself, nothing new was happening. I practiced my shield constantly, but it wasn't enough. I put down my book and headed upstairs. Edward wad out hunting with everyone besides Jasper and Alice. I had forced him to go, my mood was soured by failing my search. Search fro a gift that no one knew about and no one knew if I had it or not.

I was begging to doubt I even had another aspect to my gift.

I knocked on Jasper's door, it wasn't needed as he could have heard me walking there easily. Alice opened the door and smiled, hugging me. We were closer than ever now, it was as though we'd known each other for years rather than months.

"Hey Bell's. Jasper will be right with you." She quickly turned and dashed inside her room. I waited patiently for Jasper.

I hoped he may be able to explain something. Something that Edward or Carlisle couldn't. He appeared through the doorway. "Hello ma'am. Let's head downstairs."

I nodded and followed him. We sat on the couch downstairs. "So what's the problem?"

"I'm having a difficult time. I can protect them with my shield, but I can't connect to it. It's like trying to tie something together when there is nothing there to tie. It feels right but I just can't find where to connect it."

Jasper nodded slowly. "My gift works differently to Edward. The emotions are alive, as if they're actually physical beings. When I try to calm someone, it's not instant. I have to form a bridge and send the calm over."

"Do you think that Carlisle's theory is true?" I wanted Jasper's opinion. He seemed to understand the most about gift's.

He sighed. "I honestly don't know. The idea of you having so much power, it's fascinating to Carlisle. If that pushed him to the point of holding onto something that isn't real? I don't know. What I do know is that if anyone can figure this out, you can Bella."

He locked eyes with me and smiled so warmly, so encouragingly. I knew he meant it. I smiled and nodded slowly, getting up to leave.

"One last thing Bella? Remember your shield is key. From what you say, it seems you just need to figure out what to connect."

I nodded again and thanked him. He had helped me and I was glad to have talked to him.

Edward came back and as soon as he did I asked him to sit. I had done this before, just searched his mind. But after my talk with Jasper, I feel as though this time I can accomplish something.

Edward was so kind as well. He never grew impatient or frustrated. He encouraged me when I seemed deterred. I loved him so entirely.

He sat quietly, hardly moving. I had requested this since the beginning. I closed my eyes and pulled out my outer shield. It formed easily around him and a faint glow came off from his presence under his shield.

Next I began weaving my inner shield. I left some part of it connect to me. I had thought of this as I had waited for his return. The other part I connected to him.

Again I got the same result as before. I sighed and moved away my outer shield so it shielded neither of us. With my inner shield I wrapped it around him entirely.

It was odd, I always knew I was shielded. But now when I wasn't, I sensed an odd amount of vulnerability. I pushed away that emotion and focused again.

His presence was there, but it was more refined. My inner shield was stronger, more connected to me. That was why it was so difficult to control. I searched the presence for anything, any brighter spot or any point where a shield could go.

I found none.

I began growing angry again, my enthusiasm fading. Edward had heard my thoughts of course and encouraged me. "You're doing great love. Try something else."

I sighed and focused again. There were no points, that was obvious. But it felt like there should be points.

The glow of his presence was waiting. It was waiting for me to do something.

The idea came out of no where. It sounded so stupid, but it was worth a shot. I grabbed my outer shield back, and split it into very tiny sheets. I then moved the sheets slowly over to Edward's mind.

Like magnets, they moved into positions, hundreds of tiny panels all over his head.

I heard Edward gasp at my thoughts. "This is what I need to connect Edward. These are the points."

My voice was dream like, not really there. I was growing so focused. This is what I needed to do. I was born into this vampire life to do this.

Without a second thought I connected two of the panels with my inner shield.

A/N: Sorry, it's so hard to explain.. If you don't understand tell me in a REVIEW and I will try my best to explain it better next chapter.

To re-iterate a very important factor, Bella's need to connect these panels overwhelms anything else.

Also, sorry for so much of Bella's view, but I need to explain her gift.

I've been inspired by one of my reader's to start another story, it's mostly going to be pre-written. Here is the info:
Being Bella

The street was in view now and I crossed it. No one ever used this road. No one. Not since half of it had been ruined from street racing. And that's why I didn't expect the car. Sarah was just a normal woman, finally free to live her life. What happens when after a car crash she finds herself waking up as Bella Swan?
