Chapter 4: Talents

After Emmett left, Edward and I sat and talked to Jasper, Carlisle and Esme. The atmosphere in the Cullen's kitchen was very calm, I suspected Jasper was using his unique talent to relax my confused feelings about this new life.

"Oh, Bellllaaa!!" I heard Alice yell from the direction of the front door. She ran into the kitchen with shopping bags in her hands.

"Um, yes?" The sound of footsteps came from the hall, and Rosalie walked in, followed by, a much happier (now that Rosalie is back), Emmett. She had even more shopping bags with her. How many clothes did they buy?

"We got your clothes!" Alice held up the shopping bags.

I opened my mouth to thank her, but stopped. The bags fell from her hands, their contents spilling across the floor. Her eyes were wide, and there was a blank look in them. Jasper was at her side in an instant.

"What is it?" He held her shoulders, and looked in her brilliant gold eyes. "What do you see?"

Her lips quivered and she murmured two quiet words. "The Voulturi."

I froze, and panic flooded through me. The Voulturi. The sinister image of the trio of tall dark vampires entered my mind. Tiny Jane, with her blood-red eyes glowing. Edward on the floor, being tortured by the piercing gaze of Jane. The people in that room, the image Edward tried to hide from me. Felix and Demetri, in the ally, when Jane walked up to us.

My eyes flickered to Jasper, and to Edward. I thought of what Jasper could do. I didn't want Edward to know I was panicking, So I immediately tried to hide my panic by making myself calm. I knew it was hopeless, but I made myself think Jasper couldn't feel what I was feeling.

Suddenly, Jasper let go of Alice, and his hands were at his head. Alice blinked a few times and turned to Jasper.

"What's wrong?" her soft voice was calm, but I could sense the urgency beneath the words. "What happened?"

"The emotions. . . in the room- They. . are. . gone. Everything disappeared- It's like. . nobody. . is feeling anything. I can't control. ." Jasper said, his words strangled.

Jasper's words confused me. I lost my train of thought, and the panic broke through my calm expression. Jasper then straightened up and shook his head.

"Woah." I thought I heard him say, but it was so quiet, I couldn't be sure.

"What is it?" Alice said softly.

"The emotions in the room. I can feel them again." Jasper replied. "I . . I don't know what happened."

".. Are you okay?" Alice asked slowly, her eyes concerned.

"Yes. . I'm. . . Fine." He put his arms around Alice.

I looked up at Edward. He was looking at Carlisle. "What do you think happened?" Edward asked.

"Im not sure. . . But, for now . . Alice." Carlisle turned to her. "What did you see?" I tensed, ever so slightly. Edward pulled me closer in his arms and kissed the top of my head.

"I saw Aro send Jane, Demetri, Felix, and their guard to check on Bella." I flinched when Alice said my name.

"Well," Carlisle said slowly, "We should be fine. Considering. . ." His eyes flashed to me. He was right. We shouldn't be in any danger, I was a vampire now.

"Wait. Something's changed." Alice held up her hand. Her eyes went blank.

I waited impatiently while Alice concentrated. Her ocher eyes were a thousand miles away. Finally she looked down, and shook her head. She blinked, and looked back up at Carlisle.

"Aro changed his mind. He decided to go with them. He wants to see Bella himself."

"How much time do we have?" Carlisle asked, calm as ever.

Alice closed her eyes and put her fingertips against her temples. I counted to thirteen in my head. "About five days." she replied softly.

Carlisle's eyes were tight. It was silent, Alice's words hung in the air. I kept quiet, trying not to break the silence. It lasted several minutes, until I couldn't take the silence. I took a deep breath.

Edward kissed the top of my head, then put his lips to my ear. "Everything is going to be fine, I promise. Bella, they won't hurt you." My breathing became more ragged, despite his words. "Shh, Bella, shh." He soothed me. Instantly I felt calm wash over me. My eyes flickered to Jasper and back.

Alice groaned quietly and everyone looked at her. She was looking down her head in her hands.

"Alice. . ?" Carlisle said.

"Things are changing again. Images are flashing. . by so . .fast. I can't . . see them clearly." She mumbled. Suddenly her head snapped up, her eyes wide. "Oh!"

Jasper bent down, so he was eye-level with Alice. "Alice, What's going on?"

"I don't know!" she nearly yelled, exasperated. "Things keep changing!"

"Alice, It's okay." Jasper said quietly to her. "What do you see?"

"They won't be here for a while. They're going to the eastern states first. Some nomads are there, and people are beginning to notice the. . ." She hesitated, and her eyes flashed to me, wary. ". .bodies. They're going to fix the damage." Alice finished. I tried to keep my expression even.

"Okay, That's good." Carlisle said. "We will deal with them when the time comes. For now. . ." He turned to face Jasper. The room went silent. Again.

Alice broke the silence. "Jasper." She murmured.

"Jasper," Carlisle continued. "What happened." His voice was calm.

"After Alice had her vision, Bella started to panic." I looked down, as Jasper went on. "I started to calm her, but the panic, coming off her stopped. All the emotions I felt were gone, and I couldn't calm Bella, because I couldn't feel anything from her. After about a minute, I could feel the emotions again. I don't know. . . I don't get. . What happened?"

"Hmm." Carlisle muttered. "I wonder. ."

I waited. Suddenly, he turned to me. "Bella," He hesitated. "What were you thinking after Alice had her vision?"

"Um, well . . I was thinking that Jasper couldn't feel what I was feeling. Like. . ." I froze. Edward straightened up, moving his chin from my shoulder.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw he was looking down, his light eyes wide. "Of course." he mumbled. I looked back at Carlisle, who was waiting for me to finish.

"Like. . his talent wasn't working." I finished slowly. The whole room tensed. The silence was piercing.

"So. . Bella. ." Alice muttered.

"Bella. . .?" Jasper said, shocked.

"Did Bella?" Emmett said, not smiling for once.

"Hmm." Rosalie mumbled.

Esme just stood in the corner, her eyes wide, still not saying anything. Edward was quiet.

"I. . .?" I stopped, in shock. "Wha-. . uh-. .me?"

Carlisle waited. No one said anything, letting me absorb the shock. Finally, Carlisle spoke.

"Um. .Yes." Everyone else was quiet. And confused."I think we found Bella's talent." Carlisle finished slowly.

Alice's mouth fell open. Jasper was silent, no change in his face. Esme's eyes widened. Rosalie's expression was reserved, and she was quiet.

"What?" Emmett said loudly, breaking the silence.

"Well, this is just a theory, but I think Bella is able to. ." He stopped, I assumed, thinking about how to explain. "Let's see. I think Bella can control vampires with extra . . senses, like Jasper, Alice, and Edward." Emmett and Alice still looked confused.

"Okay. . ." Carlisle continued, seeing their bewildered expressions. "Once again, this is a guess, but let's say, for example, Edward. Say Edward was hearing . . . Emmett's thoughts. If Bella thought to herself, Edward couldn't hear Emmett's thoughts, Edward wouldn't be able to hear anyone's, not just Emmett's."

Emmett's mouth fell open. "She can?"

Carlisle just nodded.

"Hmph." I looked at him. His arms were folded, and he was frowning. "Lucky. . ." he muttered.
