CHAPTER 21

Carlisle already took the medication so he was allowed to be near Edward. He sat in a chair that was against the wall and then he started to ask Edward a few questions. I sat next to Edward on the bed like I was before, but I was holding on to his hand with my two.

"Edward what happened?" Said Carlisle

Edward replied, "Well I had this big headache."

Carlisle asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

I put my hand to his head and I brushed some hair out of his face. Edward looked down at me and smiled. I tried hard to smile back, but it was too hard, I couldn't do it. I was too worried.

"No it's fine now. But I can't hear anyone's thoughts."

I got more worried about Edward. It must have showed on my face because Edward leaned down and kissed the top of my forehead.

"When did the thoughts go away?" Carlisle asked.

"A few moments after my headache started."

"Did anything else unusual happen?"

"No."

Carlisle then turned to me. "Bella? Did you see anything happen?"

"No." I turned my head towards Carlisle, "Edward was just having a headache. And then he asked me to go and get you."

"This is definitely odd. I can't really think of any reason as to why this happened."

I was so worried. I wanted Edward to be okay. Now I wished that he was able to hear people's thoughts again. Just so that he was a little back to his normal self. Him not being able to hear minds must have been a sign that he was getting worse. This couldn't be happening. I didn't want him to leave me. And I promised him that I wouldn't leave him to join the Volturi. What was I supposed to do?

I was cut mid-way through my thoughts as Edward said, "I can hear people's thoughts again."

Carlisle said, "Is your headache back?"

"No, my head feels fine right now. But what's going on?"

"It might be a side effect of your condition. Maybe it would be able to take away your abilities. But that wouldn't explain why it came back."

"Maybe he's able to turn it off?" I said.

Edward said, "I don't really think that's possible. I mean I can tune out people's thoughts. But I can' turn them all completely off. The ability is still there all the time."

I said, "Doesn't that bother you?"

"Sometimes, but you get used to it."

Then Carlisle said something, "Wait a minute. What were you thinking when Edward got his headache, right before he lost the thoughts?" He was looking directly at me.

"I was thinking that he probably had a headache from hearing all of the thoughts in his mind."

"And what were you thinking just before he got the thoughts back?"

I shot a quick glance at Edward, he was looking directly at me, his expression seemed confused and concerned. "Well, I was thinking, that I wanted him to be okay. And that he should be able to hear people's thoughts again so that he was closer to his normal, healthy self." I paused for a minute. Neither Carlisle or Edward had said anything. "Why do you want to know?"

Then Carlisle said, "I think that maybe you were able to turn off Edward's ability."

I asked, "Is that possible?"

"It might be, there is a chance that this is your ability."

I got worried, what if my ability hurt Edward? So I said, "Is this bad?"

Carlisle said, "No it's not bad, it's actually a quite powerful ability if you learn how to control it correctly."

Edward then said, "Is it with everyone? Or is it just with me?"

"Let's find out."

Then Carlisle said Jasper's name a little loudly then usual but still loud enough for Jasper to hear him. Jasper was in the cabin within seconds. He must have already taken the medication.

Jasper said, "Hey Edward. How are you feeling?"

Edward said, "Okay I guess."

Then Carlisle said, "We think that we might have found Bella's power. We just want to try something out. Okay?"

I was a little confused to what I was supposed to do so I said, "What am I supposed to um do?"

Carlisle said, "Just concentrate on Jasper and getting rid of his power."

Then Jasper said, "Whoa, wait a minute. She's going to take away my power?"

"Just for a few moments. She'll give it back soon enough."

"Um okay."

I concentrated on Jasper and his power. I just concentrated on him not having the power. About wanting it to go away.

Then Jasper said, "Well it worked."

I was amazed. I actually had a power and I found it only a few days after my transformation. This was just wow.

Then Carlisle said, "Congratulations Bella, we have found your power."

Then Jasper said, "Um Bella? Could I have my power back now? I'm kind of missing it."

"Oh sure!" I concentrated again but this time on him having his power and wanting him to have it back.

"Thanks, I'm going to head back to the house, if you guys need anything just say something."

And within seconds Jasper was gone. I turned back to Carlisle.

Carlisle said, "Your ability can be quite powerful. If you learn to control it I'm sure that you can turn various abilities off and on at the same time. Now if you don't need me anymore I'm going to go back to my office and work on finding a cure."

"Okay, thanks Carlisle," I said.

Then Carlisle left so it was just Edward and I once again.

"So, I guess I have a power."

Edward smiled at me. His arm was around my shoulders and my head was lying on his chest.

"I think your power is amazing."

"Well I'm glad that you like it."

"Of course I like it"

We sat in silence for a few more minutes. Then I realized that Edward must be tired, being that he was still able to sleep. He needed his rest.

"Edward."

"Yes Bella?"

"I think that you need to sleep. You need your rest and you haven't slept in a while. You must be exhausted."

"But I don't want to sleep."

I couldn't help but smile at his comment. I never wanted to sleep when he was around. Now he was the one who had to sleep, not me.

"Ha. Now you know how I feel. But seriously Edward. You need your sleep."

He let out a big sigh. "Fine."

I laid down on the bed and Edward laid his head on my chest. Then he closed his eyes.

We stayed like that for a few minutes. Then Edward said, "Um Bella?"

"Yes love?"

"Would you mind turning off my mind-reading power? You see it's kind of hard to fall asleep with all of the voices going through my head."

I let out a small laugh, "Of course." I concentrated hard on turning off his power.

A few seconds later he said, "Thank you. It's nice to have some peace and quiet."

I smiled at his statement, "Shh. You need to sleep."

Within a few minutes Edward was asleep. I was never really able to look at him sleeping fully. I had always fallen asleep next to him in the past few weeks. And before that, well before that he wasn't really able to sleep. He looked peaceful when he slept. Just as perfect.

Edward slept for about nine hours. He slept in my arms, nobody interrupted us. He moved around a little bit, but not a lot. And unlike me he didn't talk in his sleep. I wondered if he was able to dream. If so what did he dream about?

I was thinking about this when Edward's eyes opened.

I smiled, "Hello. How did you sleep?"

"I slept perfectly well thank you very much."

His head was still on my chest. He felt so warm because he was sick and he had a fever. I guess this is like what I felt to him. It was like our positions were switched. Then I remembered what I was thinking about.

"Edward?"

"What is it love?"

"Are you able to dream?"

He didn't answer me for a moment. Then he said, "Sometimes, but I usually don't remember my dreams."

"Do you remember any of your dreams?"

"Well actually I do remember one from last night."

"Can you tell it to me?"

"Um if you want. It's pretty boring."

"Please? It's only fair. You got to hear my dreams when I slept. I don't get to hear your dreams. Please?"

He smiled, "Well it started out with me playing the piano. It was a black piano. But I was playing it on a cloud. I was wearing a simple white tuxedo." He paused for a second then continued, "Then you came and sat down next to me. You were wearing a white gown. You looked so beautiful. I continued playing the piano. Then you leaned your head on my arm." He took another pause. "And for the rest of the dream I just remember playing the piano and you leaning your head on my arm and stroking it gently as I was playing."

I smiled and kissed him on the forehead. Then I said, "I love you."

"I love you too."

We laid in bed for a few minutes. Then the burning feeling started to build up in my throat again. I figured that I needed to hunt again. But I didn't want to leave Edward. The burning feeling in my throat was getting worse. It was becoming harder and harder to ignore. I decided that it would be better if I hunted.

I sat up in the bed causing Edward so sit up with me.

A look of concern spread across Edward's face, "What is it Bella?"

I looked at him and smiled. "Nothing, I'm just thirsty is all."

"Oh." A sad look came across his face. "I wish I was able to hunt with you."

I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips. Then I said, "I'll be back soon."

Then I got up from the bed and ran back over to the house. I gently knocked on Carlisle's door.

"Come in."

I walked into his room. He was at his desk reading a medical textbook.

"What is it Bella? Is Edward okay?"

"I'm just getting thirsty is all."

"Oh, okay. Do you mind if Alice goes with you? I'm just trying to work on a cure."

"Of course! I'll ask her."

I walked out of his room and walked to Alice's. Alice walked out of the door before I had a chance to go over to her room.

"Come on Bella! It's hunting time!"

Alice and I hunted for a few hours. We didn't go too far away from the house. But far enough from any other kind of civilization. I would have lost control if I got too close to humans, I knew that for sure. I found the second time easier for hunting. I was able to control myself a lot more. Alice showed me how to attack properly. And how to take the animal's blood without hurting the animal too much. After I felt my thirst go away I told Alice and we headed back to the house.

We walked up to Alice's room. I was about to head back to Edward's little cabin when Carlisle stopped me.

"Wait a second Bella. I need to give you the medicine again. It's been about 24 hours."

"Oh right."

So we walked into Carlisle's office. Then he injected me through a shot the medication. I was about to go to Edward but Carlisle wanted to talk to me about something.

Carlisle said, "I think that we might have a few solutions to getting the medication from the Volturi."

Carlisle was now sitting behind his desk and I was sitting in the chair directly across from it.

"That's great! What is it?"

"Well I've only thought of two options right now. I don't really know how well they are going to work. But they're better then nothing." He paused for a second. "Well my first thought was to tell the Volturi that you didn't have a power and neither did Edward. This way they wouldn't want either one of you anymore. You would turn off Edward's power for the time and your power wouldn't be noticeable enough. They would come up with another price. But this idea is very risky. The second thought is that we threaten the Volturi."

"How would we do that?"

"Well we could tell them that if they don't give us the cure, you would turn off all of their powers. I know that you're new to this power. But if you practice, I'm sure that you would be able to do it. But that is also risky, the Volturi wouldn't be very happy."

"Do you think that these options would work?"

"I believe that they might. But we still have time. I just wanted to tell you some of the thoughts that I was having."

"Okay, thank you Carlisle. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to get back to Edward now."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later Bella."

I left his room and ran vampire-speed back to Edward's little cabin.

When I got there I opened the door. Edward was lying down on his bed. His eyes were closed but when I walked in he opened them.

Then he sat up in the bed and asked, "How was hunting?"

"It was okay I guess. How was um resting in this cabin?"

He chuckled, "It was okay I guess." He smiled back at me. Then he motioned for me to sit next to him on the bed.

I walked over and sat next to him on the bed under the covers. I looked around the cabin and then I realized something.

"Edward?"

"mhmm?"

"Do you want to leave this cabin? I think that you would be able to stay in the house now that Carlisle has found the medication."

"Actually I kind of like it here. It's nice and comfortable. And it's nice to just be alone with you."

I smiled and kissed him in the lips. "It is nice to be alone, just you and I."

He smiled again. "But I would like to know what our room looks like. I haven't gotten a chance to see it yet."

"Would you like me to describe it to you?"

"I would like that very much thank you."

"Well it's a very big room, bigger then your room back at Forks. We're on the top floor, the fifth one. It really is just beautiful. When you walk in the first thing you see is the giant bed. It's a beautiful gold color. It's leaning right against the wall right across from the door. Across from the bed is your music selection. It takes up most of the wall. Next to it is the stereo system. Then to the left of the door is the bathroom. It's a big marble bathroom. Next to the bathroom is a walk in closet. One side of it is yours and one side of it is mine. Alice has already organized it. Then next to the bed, but across still across from the door is a big, black sofa, it's similar to the one back in your room at Forks. Above the sofa is a window where you can see the woods and this cabin." I paused for a second, "I don't really know if I explained it well, but there's really not much more to the room."

He smiled at me, "It sounds perfect."

Edward and I were still sitting under the covers. Our backs against the wall. Then Edward once again put is arm around me. I rested my head on his chest. Edward started playing with my hair. Then he started humming a tune that I didn't know of.

"Is that a new tune?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's something to do while you're away."

"Oh. I like it, it's nice."

He smiled at me, "I'm that that you like it."

Then I realized something, "Is your ability still turned off?"

"Yeah, it's still off."

"Do you want me to turn it back on?"

"No, I kind of like the silence, it's easier to rest this way."

I smiled, "Okay, I'm glad that I could help."

"You've helped more then you could imagine."

Then he kissed my hair and continued humming the new tune. I looked out the window and it was getting dark outside. The sun was starting to set. We had sat in bed for a few minutes, then those minutes turned into hours. I thought about ways that we could get the cure from the Volturi. Both of Carlisle's ways sounded reasonable. But both of the ways would get the Volturi upset with us, and we really did not want that. There were probably so many other possibilities that I wasn't thinking of, but they weren't coming into my mind. I guess I would just have to think harder.

I hoped that you enjoyed it! Please review! My goal is once again 30. I'm working on finished up this story soon. So i hoped that you enjoyed it and hopefully a new chapter will be up soon! Please review!
