Disclaimer I don't own Twilight, so what else is new?
A/N- I apologize to those who didn't like Bella's ability but that's the way it is. I really do appreciate your reviews it's a tremendous help. Now to those of you who asked Why is that her power? Do you remember how Edward told Bella that sometimes vampires pass traits on to those who they change? Well, Cecile said she always felt invisible. Since she was the one to change Bella this emotion transferred to Bella and became something more, it was also this because Bella always thought she was extremely ordinary and basically blended in with the scenery even though it wasn't true. If you have any questions leave it in a review or PM me. Thanks again to my lovely, gorgeous, glamorous, fabulous, perfect glorious reviewers!
Bella PoV
I looked back up at everybody in horror. What was the matter with me. I began to squirm in Edward's lap but his grip only tightened. "What's wrong with me Carlisle" I asked frantically.
"Well" he said looking thoughtful "I think it may be your power, or gift if you will" he explained to me.
I wished that my visibility would come back. And miraculously it did. I felt Edward let out a sigh of relief.
"Can you control it" Esme asked curiously.
"I don't know" I replied truthfully.
"Well what were you thinking when you became… invisible?" Edward asked nervously.
I thought back and then remembered. "I was thinking that I felt uncomfortable with everybody looking at me like that" I told him.
" We were kind of in shock" Emmett said defensively, but a smile tugging at his lips.
"Well, then maybe you can turn it on and off depending on your emotions at a certain time." Edward suggested.
"Maybe" I replied sceptically, out of all the cool gifts I could have gotten I ended up with invisibility.
"I wonder why this is your gift?" Rosalie said thoughtfully. She seemed to be in a better mood probably due to the absence of a certain gorgeous blonde vampire. I wondered where Cecile was I hadn't seen her since the accident.
"Well Bella always did think she blended in with everybody else, maybe that emotion was strengthened." Alice answered her.
Edward scowled at this and I shot him a sweet smile. His face softened and he kissed my neck.
"Before you go back to school, we'll need you to practice controlling your visibility" Carlisle told me.
I nodded and looked through the glass window absentmindedly. Everything felt so different now I could see far into the forest, I could hear animals scampering about. I felt for lack of a better word alive.
"So are you up for a hunt Bella?" Emmett asked me playfully.
I gulped. The whole family burst out laughing. "Don't worry Bella, Emmett won't let you out of his sight" Edward reassured me.
"What? Why won't you be there?" my voice frantic.
He chuckled. "Don't worry, all of us will meet up with you two after the hunt to play some baseball. There's a storm tonight right Alice?" he asked cheerfully. I had never seen him so happy and content.
She nodded smiling.
"You should probably go get changed, silk pyjamas aren't the best choice of clothing for hunting" he told me with a wink. If I could have blushed I would have turned tomato red.
"Sure, I'll be back down in a minute" I said and clambered off Edward and began to run up the stairs. But in an instant I felt Edward's arms wrap around me scoop me into the air. He chuckled at the shocked expression on my face and continued up the stairs.
Once in his room, or I guess our room he set me down. "So, what do I change into?" I asked, because as far as I knew I hadn't brought any clothes over.
He smiled slyly at me and walked over to his closet and opened the door and gestured for me to enter. I curiously complied and let out a small gasp when I entered.
Edward's old closet had been turned into a huge walk-in one. On one side was all of Edward's clothes and on the other larger side there was all of these beautiful clothes that I had never seen before in my life. I turned to glare at Edward.
"What?" he asked innocently, fighting a smile.
"Whose are these?" I asked angrily knowing full well who they all belonged to.
"Bella, you are honestly part of the family now. Our money is your money. And we all love to spoil you." he told me playfully.
I dulled my murderous glare down just to a angry gaze and turned back to my side of the closet. I realized then that I had no idea what one is supposed to wear for hunting. I turned around and looked at him questioningly.
He laughed, and grabbed some comfortable looking designer jeans and a soft cotton v-neck tee and handed them to me. "I have to run an errand for Carlisle, I'll see you at the game" he told me before locking me into a passionate kiss. When he pulled away I had a glazed expression my face. He smiled and left me to change.
I changed quickly and ran down the stairs. Emmett was waiting for me in the foyer with a huge grin on his face. "You ready for some irritated grizzly?" he asked excitedly. I shuddered, there was absolutely no way I was ready for a bear let alone an irritated one.
He laughed "Don't worry Bella, we'll start out slow. But you'll be chasing thos bears in no time" he winked at me.
I nodded nervously, and followed him out to his jeep. I was filled with pride when I got in the jeep with no help. Emmett revved up the engine and took off flying down the driveway. To my intense surprise, instead of feeling terrified I felt.. exhilarated.
We rode in silence enjoying the speed. We pulled off into off road trail, and went along for 10 minutes before coming to an abrupt stop. Emmett got out and I did the same.
"So what do I do?" I asked bluntly wanting to get this whole gory ordeal over with. I was thirsty, but not unimaginably so. The thought of blood still freaked me out but that rusty salt smell was starting to seem quite appetizing. I was just terrified of messing up, or the bear eating me instead of me eating it.
"Be patient Bella. We have to run a little further down the trail and then we'll try to pick up some scents" he told me laughingly before picking up a run.
I followed and kept up easily. We ran for who knows how long, before Emmett raised his hand and motioned for me to stop and be quiet. He closed his eyes and listened. A slow grin was beginning to form on his face. His eyes opened. "There's a herd of deer grazing in an upcoming clearing, we'll ambush them" he told me his eyes dancing with delight.
"Um.. Emmett how do I exactly ambush something?" I asked hesitantly.
He chuckled softly "it will come naturally Bella just let your senses take over".
I nodded, still really not knowing what to do but not wanting to seem stupid. Emmett began to run again so I followed in behind. We came nearer to clearing and I was suddenly hit with a rusty, familiar smell. Only this time I definitely didn't find it nauseating.
It happened completely naturally just like Emmett said it would. One moment I was behind Emmett the next I wasn't. It was like this magnetic force was pulling me towards the clearing and there absolutely nothing I could do to stop it. I heard Emmett's chuckle as I passed him but I paid him no mind. I was completely focused on the herd ahead. I sensed that they had sensed Emmett and I. I thought back to Carlisle's words, what better time to practice then the present. I thought the same feelings I had thought earlier and looked at my hand. It had worked!
"Good thinking Bella" Emmett whispered to me from behind I had to strain to catch his words. Emmett and I came crashing into the clearing taking the whole herd by surprise. They had absolutely no idea which way to run because they had no clue what was attacking them. I pounced on everything in sight. As I was drinking the blood I felt my body begin to relax and go back to normal. After I had, had my fill I sat down on the ground to clear my head and willed myself to be seen.
After a couple minutes, Emmett sat down next to me. "Well, I have got to say you are quite a natural Bella."
I smiled "Yes it did come quite naturally."
"Yes, yes it did" he chuckled. "So I'm guessing you noticed Cecile's gone" he told me suddenly serious.
"Yes".
"She wanted me to give you this" he told me as he reached into his pocket and handed me a note.
I read it quickly. I was sad Cecile was gone, I really felt that we'd become friends. She was honestly a good person. I would be eternally grateful to her for saving me. I hoped as much as she did that we would see each other again.
"Do you miss her?" I blurted out.
Emmett looked a trifle shocked but instantly turned thoughtful. "There will always be a part of me that loves Cecile she was after all my first love. But our love was kind of like cotton candy really sweet but not strong enough to hold together. But with Rose and I it's different. We've both been through so much for each other and I can't even imagine life without her" he explained.
I nodded that was how I felt about Edward. Life without him would be intolerable. We sat in silence, contemplating what had been said before Emmett spoke again. "I think it's time we make for the field. They'll be expecting us shortly, and I wouldn't want to make Edward hyperventilate when he started going through his Bella withdrawal." he teased me.
I smiled at him and we both got up and began to run through the forest towards the field.
We came running into the clearing, to find the whole family already there. As soon as I saw Edward I lunged at him and we tumbled backwards on to grass me on top of him. He looked up at me shocked but then his face broke into that crooked smile that I adored.
"How was hunting?" he asked ignoring the other's amused stares and tightening his grip around my waist so I couldn't get off him.
"It was loads of fun! Emmett says I'm a natural!" I said excitedly sounding just like a three year-old who painted a picture for their mom.
"Is that so?" he asked and glanced at Emmett for confirmation. I couldn't believe that he didn't believe that!
"It's true, she is." Emmett told him.
"Told you so!" I said grinning ear to ear at him. He smiled and pulled me down closer to kiss me.
"Could you two please try to keep your hands off each other long enough to play an inning or two of baseball" Rosalie snapped at us, fighting a smile.
Edward glared at Rosalie and I reluctantly got off him.
"How about Edward and Jasper team captains?" Carlisle suggested.
Everyone agreed. Edward and Jasper flipped a coin and Jasper won the rights to choose first for his team. "Hmm, who will I choose?" he mused grinning. "I am going to pick…Al-Ros-Car-..Bella!" he said sticking his tongue out at Edward. He picked me just to annoy his brother. Boys.
I smiled at him and went to stand by Jasper. "That's not fair." Edward whined.
"It's completely fair I won the rights to pick first square and fair, and I picked Bella." he said childishly.
"Fine, I pick Emmett" he said.
Emmett grinned and went to stand beside Edward.
Jasper picked Carlisle next and then Edward picked Alice. We all begged Esme to play but she refused saying she wanted to referee so we were left with uneven teams.
I was up to bat first and Edward was pitching. He was grinning evilly at me. I thought back to the time Edward had attempted to teach me the art of baseball and how I my attempt had been completelyin vain. Hopefully I had somewhat improved.
He lifted up his arm and let the ball fly towards me at an alarming speed. I swung my bat at the upcoming ball hard making a huge crashing sound and ran like hell to first base. I made it there easily and stuck my tongue out at Edward.
The ball had gone deep into the woods and Emmett had gone to retrieve it. But before he even reached the edge of the forest two vampires stepped out. One female, one male. The female was holding the baseball "looking for this?"
A/N- I know you are probably thinking what is this girl's problem with always having strange new vampires in her story when she just got rid of the old ones! Well don't worry these two are essential to the plot. Hope you enjoyed. REVIEW, REVIEW! I might not be able to update for a few days because I'm away in Utah but when I get back I should have the next two chapters ready to be posted! REVIEW!
