BPOV
I went and sat down on the couch while Esme opened the door. My head was spinning. I usually get headaches when I absorb a power. I don't even know how many powers he has though.
He has got the weird shieldy thingy, and the traveling through peoples bodies. But is he an actually person, or that weird ghost thing? What if I turn into that thing? My headache flared up even worse than normal.
I started rubbing my temples. I swear, I am the only vampire in the world that gets headaches. Then again, I am the only vampire in the world to have these powers. The only thing I really know about the guy is that he trapped Seth for some reason and then came after me.
I should have read his mind. What if there are other people that he had with him? I tried, but failed to suppress a groan.
Edward came and sat next to me. He put his arms around me and hugged me. "I know, it's a lot to take in." His face held a lot of worry. I relaxed in his arms. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Guess who's here!" Esme told us. She sounded nervous. She was walking in with someone else, but I was too exhausted to open my eyes. Edwards arms tightened around me.
"Hey guys." My eyes popped open immediately. Standing behind me with Esme was Jane! She looked really awkward. I glared at her when she looked at me and turned back to Edward.
Everyone muttered greetings to her. She looked absolutely the same way she did last time I saw her. Which was like, three or four days ago. I can't even remember because of my headache.
"I'm going to go lay down." I muttered and headed up stairs. "Alone." I said before Edward could follow me. I know everyone is going to think it's because of Jane, but really it's because of the powers I just consumed.
I am really nervous because it has never been this bad before.
I got up to Edward's room and went straight to the bed and collapsed. I swear I fell asleep right away.
When I woke up, I kept my eyes closed. I felt a presence in Edward's room. The horrible part was, was that I couldn't even tell who! I knew that if I even opened my eyes a smidge, they would know I'm awake.
I tried to focus on the smell. I knew it wasn't Edward or Alice. This person smelled more like vanilla. I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach, like I was about to puke.
"I know you're awake, you freak." Jane said with amusement in her voice. I sighed and opened my eyes. She was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"What do you want." I lifted myself up into a sitting position and crossed my arms around my knees.
She looked uncertain. "I just want to say I am sorry." She stated. She didn't sound like she really meant it though.
I laughed bitterly. "Whatever. If that's all you came here for you can leave." I shooed her away.
She stayed sitting. I glared at her. She still didn't budge. Why hasn't my headache gone away yet?
"What?" I finally said, exasperatedly. She smiled a little.
"Are we still invited to the wedding?" She finally asked. Her tone nonchalant. My eyes widened in shock. She's kidding me, right?
The look in her eyes said something different though. She was begging me to say yes. I tried to play it cool. "Whatever. Can you leave now?" I asked her. She nodded.
I watched her get off the bed and walk out the door. Once she got way out of hearing range, I screamed in frustration.
Who does she think she is? Just walking in here and saying she's sorry when she's not, but asking if she can still come to the wedding. She is crazy.
Edward came in 2 seconds after my scream. "What's wrong?" He burst through the door. I didn't answer him. The scream made my headache so bad I could feel the pounding.
"Are you okay?" He asked me. He put both of his hands on either side of my cheeks and searched my eyes.
I sighed. "I am fine. I promise." He nodded and kissed my nose with a smile. "I think I am going to talk to Carlisle about my powers now." I told him so he wouldn't freak out about the headache thing.
I knew something was wrong.
I went straight up to his office and knocked on his door. I was really tired and those flight of stairs made it worse.
"Come in, Bella." He said. I turned the knob and walked into his little office. He had an entire wall filled with books. He had a desk at the back wall with a window. Then he had a long wooden cabinet on the left of his desk.
His office was cool. I went ands at down at one of the two blue chairs. I made sure the door was locked and the room was soundproof. I didn't make it soundproof though. That's cool. "What do you need Bella?" Carlisle said, getting right to the point.
I sighed. "I wanted to talk to you about my powers like I promised you." I said. He nodded and I went on. "I am what they call a sponge. Whatever power has been in my presence or I have touched, I absorb it." I decided for the short version. He nodded.
"I actually have a list of all of them that Caius made me." I smiled a little sadly at the thought of my uncle.
"Go on." Carlisle encouraged. I nodded.
"So every time I get a new power, I usually get headaches. Actually, I always get headaches." I smirked at that. I noticed that Carlisle had a pen and paper and was writing stuff down.
"So the headache feels like a pounding in my skull and it makes me sleepy. When I wake up, it's supposed to be gone and I am all better." He noticed the way I was phrasing it.
"What's wrong Bella?" His tone held worry. I thought about how to tell him.
But thinking made my head hurt. I squeezed my eyes shut. "This is a really bad headache. And I've had it ever since The Traveler guy came. I even feel weaker than normal. I don't want to think, talk, or listen to anybody." I told him.
I kept my eyes closed and rubbed my temples, trying to relax myself as Carlisle started talking.
"Well, I know this is going to be difficult for you, but I need to know absolutely everything about you and I might be able to help you." Carlisle's voice held sympathy. I ignored it though.
I sighed loudly. "Do I have to give you everything?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer to it.
"Yes."
I opened my eyes again and said, "Come here then." He got up and sat in the chair next to me.
"This will give you a headache. Well, maybe considering the way I'm feeling." I saw fear pass through his eyes. "You'll be fine." I think. I finished in my head.
"Close your eyes." I said, closing mine also. I didn't need to check and make sure he listened.
I put my fingers lightly on his face and started whispering, "Power, go, power, go, power, go." Don't ask how I figured that out because I don't know. I concentrated on putting everything about me into his brain.
I started to feel really light headed so I moved away gasping for unneeded air. Or so I thought. "I'm human?" I asked him breathlessly.
When I looked over at him, he was frozen. In shock. He was looking straight ahead. I was going to lean forward and wave my hand in front of his face, but I was just too tired.
After another five minutes of just staring at him, Carlisle turned and looked at me. "That was…Incredible."
I tried to smile, but I couldn't. I tried to move, but I couldn't. "Carlisle!" I yelled. But it came out as, 'Mmmmm!'
He gave me an odd look. "Well.." He got up and went over to his bookshelf and started going through them, and picked out a couple.
He went over to his desk and started to read them. No more than 2 minutes later, he finished.
"So from what I got, I think that the new powers that you just got are too much for your body. It's turning back all your powers on yourself. There's a story in here about it." I couldn't even widen my eyes. All I could do was move around my eyeballs.
Great, I have a lot of powers, and most of them are painful. I felt fear settle inside of me like a brick. Or a car. Or maybe even the Eiffel Tower.
Carlisle through his hands up in helplessness. "I don't see anything to stop it. We'll just have to wait it out. And no one knows how long that's going to take." He looked at me sadly.
I was starting to get really uncomfortable sitting in the chair.
"Do you want me to tell everyone?" He finally asked. I thought about it.
I couldn't say no, because my mouth is closed and won't open. So I used my eyes and made them go left, then right. Let's hope he knows what I mean.
It looked like he was fighting with himself. "I'm sorry Bella, but I think I am going to have to." I started to shake my eyes back and forth really fast. Carlisle started to get up and walk to the door, when I caught on fire.
Hey I hope you guys like it! I'm sorry it's taking me so long. I have two reasons. 1: My brothers birthday is 9/11, so I have been planning his party and stuff. And 2: I just am not feeling as passionate as normal, so my writing is getting lazy. So I had to reread everything and rewrite most of it. I will try to update quicker. Looove youu:) Oh, and please review and tell me if I messed something up or if it makes no sense!
