No one's POV
It was fun while it lasted, but after searching for two hours with vampire speed repeatedly seeing white snow starts to get quite boring for the seven vampires participating in their game that is until Kate stumbles.
"What the," Kate starts until she sees a figure blur into existence from the snow, moving from their prone position on the ground.
"Man, I thought you guys would never find me. I seem to have taken a little power nap. You guys are pretty slow for vampires. Oh, it's just you Kate. Well it seems like you found out about my first power Kate. Congratulations! Just say it out loud, so I can relay this information to the other participants in this little game of yours," Bella comments.
"Well considering you were white as snow a few moments ago, I would have to say that one of your powers is camouflage," Kate stated confidently, until she heard Bell chuckling.
"Well you got the power I showed you. The camouflage is only a part of this specific power. It was the first one I discovered, until more powers started showing up. All of these powers had a pattern though. My vision became sharper like a hawk. I became fast like a cheetah. I actually climbed up a wall like a gecko. I can regrow limbs like a starfish, but it wasn't a fun power to discover. I'm pretty sure I get my immortality from the jellyfish now that I think about it. You get the point," Bell explained.
"Your power is having the attributes of any animal. You know that actually seems like a really useful power. You should probably research more about animals. I'm sure you could find more powers to use," Kate offered. Bell stood there thinking, until she nodded in agreement.
"I shall do that. Thank you for that thought Kate. You understand I must go. I can hear the others getting restless. Who knows Kate, you may get another dare. Just don't get cocky," Bell advised before sending a wink and running in the distance. Kate figured that she would give her a ten second head start before chasing after her. When Kate started to run after Bell, she soon realized that Bell must have purposely evaded her when she found no tracks in the snow. Looks like she had started to become cocky. Kate huffed and continued her search that she started to feel would become fruitless.
Tanya was walking around starting to feel frustrated. She hadn't seen her Bell, no matter how hard she looked. She was about to give up hope until she heard something in the clearing up ahead. The noise sounded out of place in the forest. She ran into the clearing and gaped at what she saw. The snow covered ground was covered with beautiful flowers. There were groups of plumerias, magnolias, hydrangeas, orchids, and more. Tanya knew that these flowers shouldn't be there considering none were native to Alaska, and it was too cold to grow flowers.
"Bell, I know you're here. I am confident that you made these flowers with your one of your powers," Tanya shouted into the clearing. She turned around when she heard a voice come from behind her. Tanya saw Bell with a sketchbook and a pencil in her hand.
"Very clever Tanya. You're a smart woman. I'm sure you can figure out what my power," Bell declared.
"Would you mind if I looked at your sketchbook?" Tanya asked. Bell nodded, and she handed Tanya he sketchbook. Tanya saw a beautiful rose drawn on the page. Tanya smiled at the drawing.
"You can make your drawings come to life. I have to admit that I'm very impressed Ms. Dumas," Tanya complimented with a sparkle in her eyes. Bell just nodded her head as she reached into the paper and pulled out a red rose absent of any thorns.
"I draw what is in my mind, and even though it's just a sketch it comes out exactly like it was in my head. Although it isn't a useful power in the middle of combat. It must be used beforehand. I have to say that it is one of my favorite powers. I really hoped you would be the one to find out about this power, so I could do this," Bell confided. She tucked the rose into Tanya's hair and placed a kiss into Tanya's cheek.
"Until we meet again ma chérie," Bell whispered into Tanya's ear before she ran out of the clearing. Tanya just stood there and decided to head back to her house when she realized that nothing would every compare to this moment again, but she couldn't leave empty handed. She gathered one flower from each group and ran to her house with a giant smile on her face.
Alice was starting to get frustrated. Three hours of looking for Bell. Alice thought this would be easy. She would be able to see Bell's decisions and find out about all of her powers. She could usually see Bell's future, but no matter how hard she tried, Bell continued to be blank. How could Bell just block her like that? Wait, block her? Could one of Bell's powers be a shield? It would make sense since Edward could never read her mind. The more Alice thought of it the more plausible it seemed. a vision came to Alice of Bell sitting in a tree. She jumps down the tree, and she creates a force field below her feet to soften her landing. Well it seems Alice just figured out that one of Bell's powers is a shield. Alice jumps around in excitement and rushes back to the house when she receives visions of Jasper, Emmett, and Irina returning to the house with forlorn looks on their faces.
Rosalie has been looking for Bell for three and a half hours. Although she is curious about Bell's powers, she really needs some of those dares. No Rosalie actually only needs one dare. Emmett has played too many pranks on Rosalie, and if she can get a dare that lasts forever, maybe Emmett will stop playing those stupid pranks on her. Rosalie stops her inner monologue when she hears a whistling sound. It sounded like an animal not indigenous to Alaska. She runs to the noise hoping that Bell is the cause of the noise. She finds Bell and a penguin. What is a penguin doing in Alaska?
"Rosalie it seems you found me. Do you like the penguin. It's an emperor penguin I named Mumble you know from Happy Feet. Sadly, Mumble can't dance no matter how much I beg," Bell affirmed.
"Uh, Bell, don't emperor penguins live in Antarctica? I really don't think you should be taking penguins from Antarctica. Maybe you should return Mumble you know with your teleportation power and all," Rosalie responded with a smug grin on her face. She knew she had gotten the dare she needed.
"Very good Rose. You discovered my last power. I'll go return Mumble, even though I think he should just live with us. I don't think Tanya would like that idea very much," Bell muttered before disappearing with Mumble. Rosalie started to spring back to the house, so she could brag about her dare to Emmett.
After Bell returned Mumble, with a heartfelt good bye hug which Mumble ignored, she headed back to Tanya with a smile on her face. Everything about today seemed to have gone well. If only she could get rid of the feeling that she was foregtting something, something that was rather important. Oh well, she'll remember it later.
Bell returns to the Denali house only to be greeted by yelling.
"Those are not the rules we agreed on when we made the bet," Emmett shouts.
"I think that as the winners of the game we can change the rules as we want to," Rosalie retorts angrily.
"Hey what's going on here?" I question. I suddenly have seven pairs of angry eyes staring at me.
"As the winners of the game, we realized that we didn't want to use our dares on certain people who are playing the game. We decided that Alice would have three dares for Jasper, Rosalie would have three dares for Emmett, and I would have three dares for Irina. Tanya has just relinquished all of her dares, and she has been sitting in the corner with that dreamy look on her face," Kate explains to me. I shake my head at their childish antics.
"Technically you guys never said the rules couldn't be changed, and if they decide to add more dares for only one person I think that they should be able to do it. Now everyone needs to stop acting like children. Most of us are over one hundred years old, and we need to start acting like it," I surmise. Everyone looks sheepish and nods here heads. Then Alice's head shot up.
"Hey you guys we're about to have company, but for some reason I can't see who or what is going to happen," Alice chimes in. Can't we just have a moment of peace around here?
AN: Happy holidays to everyone! I hope you guys are doing well. I'm so excited to be out of school and on break! I even wrote a chapter! I must apologize for the mistakes I make when I write. I hate reading my writing again, and I didn't realize some of the mistakes from my last chapter. I'll try to fix them. Anyway I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to keep a routine schedule for releasing my chapters, so I do apologize for that. I would love to hear what you guys think of the story so far. Hope you guys are enjoying it!
