Chapter 50

Powers? Cool.

"So, I guess I have special powers. I don't exactly know how I did it and what really happened. Everyone around me was still and only I was the only one moving." I explained to my vampire family and werewolf buddies.

Seth was being patched up by Carlisle as I was explaining this, but he was listening. He always had an interest in the new and old. Anything he could learn made his day. It was very inspiring to me.

"I don't like it. How can she stop time? This could be a danger to us all." Rose hissed out.

"Babe…" Emmett said gently as he rubbed her arm.

"No! What if she sniffs a human and stops us from getting her with her powers? What if she can't control it and stops time everywhere or just us?"

Jasper stood in front of me, blocking Rose's view to me. "Don't talk about her like she is some villain, Rose." Jasper warned.

"I'm not turning her into a villain. I'm speaking my concerns on how dangerous this can be. She even stopped Bella and none of anyone else's powers, besides Alice's and Jaspers, affect her. We know their powers. We understand them and know they won't cause harm. This- her powers are a danger we all should watch."

"If the Volturi hear about these powers…" Carlisle spoke up while wiping his hands with a cloth. "They would want to add her to the collection."

"Just like how they want Alice and me." Edward added. "We shouldn't speak of this to anyone outside of this room." He looked over to the 3 nonvampires. "Please, don't tell your family."

"They can't read our thoughts anymore since we are our own gang." Seth said and help his healing arm. "I promise to not tell anyone."

"Not just that." Jasper spoke before Seth was finished. "We also need to worry about her father. He has been keeping eyes and ears on us. All. Of. Us." This was Major Jasper speaking. My poor Jasper is worried about me. "They could be hearing us right now. We didn't smell them. We didn't hear them. That vampire…that woman…" His fist clenched. "She has some sort of power to manipulate our senses or she can control her smell and sounds."

"I bet she can even use it on her companions as well. I didn't hear them coming until it was too late." Esme looked down at the ground. Her face told everyone how sad she was. From her point of view, I bet she feels like she failed at protecting me. Us.

"Esme, please don't feel guilty. None of this was your fault." I said, looking at her straight in the eyes when she looked at me. "I know you love me. I know you love us all. You shouldn't feel bad for this. You had no control."

"None of us do…" Rose added. "You do. You have control of us all. What happens if you get mad at one of us and pause time?"

"Then don't piss me off." I hiss at her, standing up quickly.

I don't remember standing up. I don't remember wanting to. It all was instinct.

"Oh, please can you all just stop?" Alice got in the middle of the group. "Lori won't do such a thing. She doesn't have those kind of powers…yet. She can't hold time forever. She can only do it for a short time. To us, it would be like blinking. To her, it would be seconds to minutes. Not hours. Not days or weeks. Not months or years. She doesn't have control over it, but with training, she will eventually." She turns her head to me. "I've even seen you reverse time in the future."

"What?" Rose went right to Alice. "That's even worse! Time shouldn't be played with!"

"No, but really…only she has that. In a way, my powers involve time. I see the future. I can't control the future, but I can see it. If we work together, we could undo the bad and make good."

"Going back to the Volturi, I am more worried about my dad. At least they have rules and laws, my father…the kind of man he is…if he were to find out…"

"He won't take you from me." Jasper interrupted. "Never."

"So, what should we do then?" Emmett asks with his arms crossed.

"For now, I think we should just keep an eye on the Volturi. Alice, could you also watch her father and his companions?" Edward asks.

"You guys are making me watch so much that it will all mix or not be accurate. I will try my best though." She looked at me when she spoke the last sentence.

What was that for?

A/N: I've come to the decision of including other fantasy characters, however it will all happen after the Twilight Saga is done. I mean, don't you guys want to know more about her father and what his plans are?
