Remember, like I said before, I did NOT write this story. The author of this story is my best friend who doesn't have a FanFic account so I am posting it for her. I am the editor/publisher and I created the story/chapter titles.

Chapter 4: I See Dead People

I hung up to a shocked Alice and chuckled. "We need to go tell the family. They will be so happy to see you, they have missed you. And why can't Alice see me?"

Bella grinned and said, "I told you that I can break the barriers to peoples' minds, but I can also prevent people from using their power on me; actually, that happens naturally. I have to break my barrier to anyone who wants to use their power on me. I think that because I have left it up for so long, it can block people around me."

"Carlisle is going to be fascinated by you." I said smirking. She sighed, she always hated being tested.

She shocked me by saying, "Well, come on. Let's go meet the family, again!" I had to laugh. We started running and I kept pace with her. When we got to the house she stopped and thought, maybe we should make this interesting. How about I stay out here and you go in looking like your normal self. Happy Edward not Sad Edward. I will pop out of nowhere when you say I was with Bella, scaring them to death. What do you think?

I laughed, I love it! Now to look normal. I walk up to the door and turned to Bella who was hiding in the bushes. Restraining a laugh, I walk in the house. Everyone was there waiting for me. Esme came running at me and gushed, "We were so worried! Where in the world were you?"

"I was at Bella's house." I simply stated, their faces looked shocked, I wonder how gloomy I had been to shock them at talking so easily.

"Why do you fell excitement and happiness, what happened Edward?" Jasper said he looked like he was just about to jump up and start dancing he was so excited.

I laughed, making them stare at them dumbfounded, that only made me laugh harder. "I saw someone I needed to see again today." I put not wanting to ruin the surprise yet.

Carlisle looked suspicious, he was the only one who pulled out of the shock. "And who is it that you saw Edward?"

I wonder how they are going to react to my response. "Bella Swan."

Emmett looked at me like I had finally lost it. He said he just saw a dead girl, wow. The meaning 'I see dead people' has come to mind I wonder if the…….

Alice was just standing there, no thoughts coming to her mind.

Rosalie was furious. That girl has cost us so much pain. Even in death she tortures us.

Esme was really concerned. Should we tell him, I would have thought he knew about her death, then again, he could be just hoping that it wasn't true and started to have hallucinations. Oh Edward, what do I do with you?

Carlisle was in doctor mode, didn't he realize none of those drugs would affect me.

Jasper was trying to decipher my thoughts from my emotions. Why does he feel so amused? Is this a trick? He is really happy though, that much I am positive of. What in the world is that…..

He had felt a little nervousness from somewhere and then I realized that it was from Bella, she quickly let her guard back up. She was coming, this was going to be good.

Just to my annoyance Emmett came up to me and said, "Since she is dead, was she bloody or horrific looking? You know, like that movie?"

Everyone gasped, but Jasper and he eyed me carefully taking in my every emotion. Just to make him happy I felt furious. "Why do you think she was bloody Emmett?"

Everyone was shocked that was clear, so just to concern them more, I said, "She was beautiful, even in death she was still stubborn. I still couldn't read her thoughts though I wish I could for she really didn't talk to me, she just sort of stared, like she was frozen. She was very cold and pail, she almost looked like a corpse. Ha. I could have a corpse bride! Though I am not the living man so that really doesn't work…" I started mumbling about nothing and then looked at their faces.

Alice was blocking her thoughts from me, she probably is curious as to why she can't see the future and why I was acting so strange.

Emmett burst out laughing, but was silenced when he looked at me again, apparently I looked convinced.

Rosalie just stood there; she didn't even feel any emotion.

Carlisle was starting to come up to me slowly trying to calm me down. Jasper, poor Jasper, he didn't even realize he was sending out confused rays.

Esme started to walk away with the thought of what if Bella was here. At that I had to smirk and that only raised suspicions.

When finally I heard on my mind, now?

I wanted to scream yes, but refrained to do so only in my mind, YES! Now Bella!

When she had opened her barrier Jasper had felt it and was to his feet in an instant only to be pinned down by Bella. He screamed bloody murder and ran to the corner of the room. No one had been watching and turned around only to find Jasper in the fetal position in the far corner of the room staring at me mumbling "Bella….Bella….Bella."

I smirked again then looked to Alice and found Bella not a foot away from her. Bella was sneaking up on Alice when she ran to Jasper along with the rest of the family. Bella looked so disappointed I had to stifle a laugh. With everyone around him and Alice holding him he began to get control over himself. When everyone asked what had happened he murmured, "I saw Bella." Everyone looked shocked. Bella was standing right next to me and I heard, should I run away now?

No, we can't let this get too far. Open Jasper's mind and tell him, here I am Jasper, as loud as you can. Go hide behind the wall quickly.

Within seconds of thinking that everyone turned around and looked at me suspiciously. Carlisle thought that my gift had increased, if only he knew. Then I heard in Jasper's head, "Here I am Jasper!" And to my surprise he jumped at least 10 feet and yelped. Emmett was holding back laughter at Jasper's shocked terrified face, so was I. Everyone was so confused when he responded, "Where are you Bella?" Carlisle kept looking from him to me, wondering what was going on. All of a sudden Bella appeared behind him and whispered, "Right here." Everyone turned to watch her and gasped. I was amazed to hear a true silence for the first time in years for the voices in my head were gone.

I came up to Bella and pulled her close and said, "Like I was saying before, I saw someone that I needed to see." By this time everyone wore huge smiles on their faces even Rosalie. Alice came and ripped Bella from my arms and pulled her into a tight hug, screaming, "Bella! You're ALIVE!" Jasper was shocked then he looked at me and I chuckled, then said, "Sorry about the confusion, I didn't choose you, Bella did."

He started laughing like I never had heard him before. I was shocked. When his laughing had died down, he said, "When you walked in the door you might not have realized it but I could feel the love rolling off of you I was so confused when you said that stuff about the corpse bride, I thought you had lost it. Then somehow it turned out to be me who thought they had lost it. Imagine hearing a dead person's voice screaming Hear I Am, right after you got attacked by a corpse. It was like I was living in horror movie and I had no defenses. I felt human."

At that we all laughed. Emmett came up to Bella after Alice finally let her go and gave her that most back-breaking hug I have ever seen. "I….can't….breathe…." Emmett laughed and squeezed her once before letting her go. "Silly Bella, you don't have to breathe now."

"I know Emmett but it still feels nice to have the option." Bella stated simply.

"Bella…how…?" That was all Carlisle got out before Bella said, "It is a rather long story."

Carlisle looked to me and I nodded, having heard it, I knew there would be a lot of explaining to do.

A/N: I will update fairly soon, just be patient!
