Thank you so much for the supportive reviews! I could pee my pants I get so excited, reading them gives me motivation to go on. I don't want to set a goal on review numbers, but if I did it would be 30… winks totally kidding, thanks so much. See ya!

Chapter 13:

"Well," said Aro in a tone that could only be sadness, "I suppose we should get back. Things tend to pile up a bit when this much of the Volturi leaves. It was so nice to see you again, Carlisle. Oh! And so very interesting to see how Bella turned out! We hope to see you again very soon, good day everyone." With a little nod in our direction, the Volturi members followed Aro out the door. Jane gave me a dirty look, and I smiled a little and she followed as well.

When they were gone, everyone was radiating relief. There was a lot to discuss.

"DID YOU SEE HER FACE!" squealed Alice, unable to conceal her pleasure.

"That was AWESOME!" agreed Emmett, enthusiastically.

"When she found out Bella gained powers, I thought she would scream!"

"I know!" Emmett and Alice continued animatedly about what she yelled, and then spent ten minutes breaking down her facial expressions. Edward didn't think it funny at all. He didn't want a fight to break out.

"Bella," said Carlisle, "I want to get some time in to help you with your powers."

"Yeah, we need to do that, whenever you have time is a good time."

"I have time, now? How's that?"

"Where do we start?" I said in an excited tone.

"Well I'd think we should start with your first power."

"Okay." I agreed.

"Well the first part of your first power is doing things from far away. Bella try and poke Edward with your mind."

"Why am I the target? Poke Emmett." He suggested.

I thought about poking Edward in the arm.

"Ow." He said looking at me, as he rubbed his arm.

"That was awesome, poke him again!" yelled Emmett. I thought of poking Emmett this time. "Not me! Edward!" It tried thinking about poking him all over; on the top of his head, his arms, the back of his knee, anywhere that would have him reaching for it. Sure enough Emmett was on the ground rolling trying to stop the consistent poking.

"Stop! Stop! STOP! That's enough- hey, cut it out- hey-I'm ow, that hurt- Stop!" He yelled and I poked once on the back of his head, and stopped.

"That was awesome." I corrected, while he rubbed where I poked him hardest.

"Well," said Carlisle, clearing his throat, "it seems you know how to use that power."

"Yeah," said Emmett, "I don't like that one." I poked him once again in his stomach. "Sorry."

"Can you lift things?" he asked.

"Like a…" I said looking for something I could lift, "this." I focused in on one of the cups on the coffee-table. I thought about lifting it up. To my surprise, the cup went up, but the little soon went sailing into the wall. "Oops."

"Yeah, like that." Taunted Emmett. I glared at him, threatening to commence poking mode. He put his hands up as if he were surrendering.

"That one needs a little work," said Carlisle, smiling. I decided to try again. "Now focus. Don't think about anything but lifting the cup and putting it back down, gently." I nodded in response.

I stared at the cup and thought about lifting it and putting it back down. I thought-carefully. Slowly-gently-and…The cup did end up back on the table, I just, panicked and it smashed it into little tiny pieces.

"Oh, wow. That was really good." Emmett said. This time I poked him hard in the back. He tried to get his arms around to rub it better, but he just couldn't reach it. I did plan that part. "Little annoying, why I oughtta, why I oughtta!" Thought Emmett as he stomped up the stairs into Rosalie and Emmett's guest bedroom.

"I think you can do it," said Edward.

"Kiss up!" shouted Emmett.

"Go ahead," prompted Carlisle, "focus carefully on how you want to do it. Just relax."

"Okay," I agreed. I thought about everything. I thought carefully about using both hand s and carefully placing it back in place. It worked!

"Very good. One more test and we're done for this power. Try putting the cup from here, and then placing it, gently, on this coaster."

I did more tests for Carlisle on every one of my powers. I glanced at the clock and it was two AM!

"Whoa, it's two 'o clock in the morning and I'm not tired at all!" I said.

"You don't have to sleep anymore, just think, twelve more hours in the day. I don't know how humans do it. Wasting there time in unconsciousness." He said in a tone in mock horror.

"Very funny." I decided to go and find something to do. I went up to our room and was looking around. Some of the things from my room had been brought here. I noticed my rocking chair. I traced the arm of the chair, following the designs in the polished wood.

Edward's enormous CD collection had been brought here. I looked at the titles of all of them. There must have been a thousand.

"I haven't counted yet," said a voice from behind me. I turned and it was Edward.

"I thought you couldn't read my mind."

"Sometimes it's obvious what you're thinking."

"Where's Alice and Jasper?"

"Hunting," he answered.

"When do I first go hunting?"

"Whenever you want. I wonder how you'll be around people."

"Me too," I agreed, "Maybe we could go somewhere tomorrow."

"If you feel ready. It might be easier for you. Alice thought so, she wonders how choosing becoming a vampire might affect you."

"What do you think?"

"I really couldn't say," he said, suddenly serious, "I have watched so many that have been turned without being asked, I really couldn't say."

There was a knock at the door. It was Alice.

"Hi, you two." She sounded a little sad. I tried to read her thoughts and see what was going on. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP… She was thinking of the alphabet.

"Alice, what's the matter, what's going on?"

"I, uh, saw something."

Thanks again so much for the reviews! I can't tell you how much they mean to me! I apologize for the cliffy, but I don't get a lot of chances like this. I am so not telling what Alice saw.

Thanks so much
