I have received an overwhelming amount of reviews for the last chapter. I just want to say thank you to all who reviewed! It really helped me going into this next chapter. A special thanks to twilightfan11...who weirdly seems to be able to read my mind, but you really helped me so thank you! I hoped the last chapter was a little bit freer of grammatical and spelling errors. I'm so pleased with the reaction I have received from this story! Thanks again and without further ado...chapter 5!

Disclaimer: I really shouldn't have to tell you time after time, I still don't own a thing

Chapter 5

BPOV

The pain was undescribable. I could feel the fiery pain shooting around my body through my bloodstream. The only thing I could hear was my raspy breaths in the background and some bits and pieces of conversations people were having by my bedside.

I did know one thing though.

Edward had been there the entire time, with me; I could almost feel his pain that he felt for me radiating off him. I know he hadn't left my side in the days I had been here.

I wasn't really aware of my surroundings; I didn't really know where I was or how long I had been here. It's almost like an out of body experience. I couldn't focus. I'd been trying to open my eyes, but I had no energy, and the pain was almost too much to bear.

I her a faint voice in the background, I think it was Carlisle, but I couldn't be sure.

"Edward, you need to go hunting, I'm sure Bella will be fine while you go for a couple of hours."

Whoever was saying this to Edward sounded really concerned.

"Carlisle, she's been unconscious for three days, WHY HASN'T SHE WOKEN UP YET" Edward roared the last part.

I heard a crash and someone growling deeply. I could only assume it was Edward.

Carlisle still sounded calm even though I can imagine Edward had lunged at him.

"Edward, you need to calm down. Bella is fine. She should be waking up any moment now."

I tried calling out to Edward, but I couldn't find my voice. The pain was unbearable now. I tried to cry out in pain, but all I managed was a small whimper.

I knew I would be okay if only I could see Edward.



With all the energy I had left, I opened my eyes to see my angel. My saviour.

Edward looked terrible, almost like he hadn't slept in days.

I knew that was ridiculous but he didn't look good.

His eyes were so dark, they were almost rimmed black.

He looked up and saw my eyes open.

His face lit up almost immediately.

"Oh Bella" He looked like the weight of the world had just been lifted off his shoulders "You're finally awake" (A/N: For some reason, I had a lot of trouble phrasing this line, I just couldn't imagine how Edward would react!)

I smiled and nodded my head. I would have said something, but that was all I could manage.

I saw Carlisle walk up with a serious look on his face. I knew this wasn't quite over yet.

"Bella, I'm glad you're awake" He held a glass full of a deep red liquid "You need to drink this. You're incredibly weak right now because the venom has dried the blood in your veins. You'll feel better once you drink it."

I nodded again, still not able to speak.

Edward helped me sit up as Carlisle handed me the glass.

As soon as I caught its scent, my mouth started to fill with venom.

It was the most delicious thing I had ever smelt in my life. Well I'm not sure if this still counted as my life.

I eagerly put my lips to the glass and downed the glass of blood.

I instantly felt better and sprang up from the bed.

I threw myself into Edward's arms and breathed in his scent.

The venom was still flowing in my mouth because Edward smelt better then the blood. In a good-vampire way, not in a your-human-I-want-to-eat-you-way.

He was shocked at my sudden change of moods.

At first he was stiff, but when I started to kiss him, he relaxed

This was unexpected, but I'm not making any complaints. I'm just glad Bella is okay. I was getting worried there for a while that she wasn't going to wake up.



"Oh Edward, you worry too much; you knew I was going to be fine" I giggled and my jaw dropped.

My laugh sounded the same as Edward's and Alice's!

Edward must have seen me so happy because he chuckled and kissed my hair softly.

Then a confused look came over his face. "Bella how did you know that I was questioning whether you would be okay or not?"

"Uh, Edward, did you forget? You just said that a minute ago."

"No, I didn't say that out lo..." he trailed off as his face flushed with realization.

"Bella!"

"Edward!"

"Bella, you can read minds!"

"I can? Really? Cool!"

"Try it on Carlisle"

I looked at Carlisle and focused listening for his voice in my head.

I waited, but nothing came.

I was getting frustrated now and stomped my foot

"Edward! It's not working!"

Edward looked even more confused now then he did before.

Carlisle interrupted us.

"Bella, I think I can explain what's happening here. I believe that you can here Edward's mind because it is his venom that runs through your veins. You have received his power this way."

I nodded that made sense.

"But wait; does that mean Edward can read my mind now?"

"Well, I'm not sure, Edward?"

Edward looked at me, then Carlisle with a grim look on his face.

"No, still nothing"



I tried to suppress a smile. I was glad I didn't want him to be able to read my mind.

Though sometimes it might come in handy. I thought to myself.

"Your right Bella, it would be helpful sometimes!"

I looked at Edward shocked.

"Edward, I thought that you couldn't hear my thoughts"

Carlisle quickly jumped in to explain again.

"Bella, if I'm correct, I believe that you can read Edward's mind all the time, but he can read yours only when you allow him too."

Edward did not look happy at this news, but I was ecstatic. I could control it!

I couldn't hide the look of glee on my face as Edward glared at me and I started to laugh.

Finally after I was in tears, and Edward calmed down we started to talk again.

"Bella, you should get dressed. That cup of blood won't last you long, we need to go hunting."

I nodded and still smiling went into the bathroom where Alice was waiting.

She grinned at me and jumped to hug me.

Surprisingly, I didn't stumble under her weight and I hugged her back tightly.

"Welcome to the family Bella" she said as she pulled back

"I'm glad to be here Alice."

I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I caught my reflection in the mirror and screamed.

"Oh My God"

I couldn't believe it.

It was me looking back, but I looked, well, like a vampire.

My cheeks were sucked in highlighting my cheekbones and giving my face a more defined shape.

My hair was a shiny dark brown colour, and brought out my pale skin.

I was examining my flawless skin when I noticed something that I didn't like very much. My eyes were a deep scarlet, not topaz like everyone else's.



Alice noticed my look of confusion and quickly answered my question "All newborns have scarlet eyes at first, but they should turn topaz after about a year"

Oh, that made me feel better.

Edward was pounding on the door.

"Bella? What's wrong, are you okay?"

I opened the door a crack and smiled weakly

"Oh yeah, sorry about the scream, I just saw my reflection and I was a bit surprised." I'm sure I would have been blushing at this point, but there was no blood to rush to my cheeks.

Edward chuckled "Ah yes. That can be surprising for the first time, but you'll get used to it"

He kissed my forehead "Now hurry up, I'm getting hungry out here."

I nodded and closed the door again.

I took a shower, at vampire speed of course, while Alice tapped her foot outside the shower door.

I dressed at vampire speed once again, in the jeans, t-shirt, and sweater combo that Alice handed to me.

She brushed my already shiny hair and I was ready.

"So, Bella you ready to hunt for the first time?"

"Yeah, but I'm a little nervous. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel killing and innocent animal."

"That's understandable, but you'll get used to it"

We walked out of the bathroom and Edward put his arms around my waist as he led me down stairs.

Everyone else was already in the front hall waiting to leave.

Everyone turned around and faced me as I walked down the final stairs.

They all had looks of shock on their faces and I had to laugh.

I rushed to hug all of them

"You look beautiful Bella" Esme said as she hugged me.

"Thank you" I grinned.

I hugged Emmett next and was fine when he squeezed me.



I went to hug Rosalie expecting it to be awkward, but it wasn't. She hugged me warmly, and I squeezed her back. She smiled at me.

Next I hugged Alice who was grinning the entire time.

Then Jasper, who surprisingly squeezed me hard. "Bella, it's nice to be able to hug you without my throat burning and getting an urge to eat you"

I laughed "Thanks Jasper. I'm glad that doesn't happen anymore."

I finally hugged Carlisle.

"Carlisle, I just want to thank you for everything that you've done. I know I couldn't have done this without you."

"You're very welcome Bella. Now if you're ready, we should go."

I nodded and took Edward's hand as we walked out the back door.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Once we were outside, I noticed a change in everyone's behaviour almost immediately.

I listened intently as Edward told me what to do.

"Now Bella, you're going to notice yourself change. You won't feel human anymore, but like an animal. Let your senses take a hold of you and just follow them."

I nodded and lifted my nose into the air.

I immediately caught the scent of something that smelled delicious.

I followed it and began running at vampire speed. It was a lot more fun doing it yourself then experiencing it on someone's back.

I came to a small clearing and spotted a pack of grizzly bears.

Could I really do it? Take another animals life to keep myself alive?

My senses overpowered me, and before I knew what I was doing, I had my teeth in the neck of one of the grizzlies and it tasted delicious.

Once I was done I got up and felt much better.

The others had caught up with me.

I hear Edward's low chuckle.



"Well Emmett, I guess she enjoys grizzly as much as you do"

I grinned and Emmett and I finished off the rest of the pack.

Once we were done, we headed back to the house.

I felt so much better after hunting.

"Wow, now I know how you guys felt!"

Everyone laughed and we proceeded into the house.

I was talking to Alice about what we were going to dinner when all of the sudden my vision blurred and I saw a scene that wasn't the one in the house.

I saw Aro, Jane and more Volturi guards walking through a very familiar looking forest.

My vision returned to the scene in front of me and everyone was staring at me and Alice.

Edward looked alarmed "What happened to you two?"

Alice looked at me while I looked at her "I...I... think w-we just had a vision, at the same time"

I was shocked, I could have visions too?

"I can see visions too?"

Carlisle interrupted Edward who was about to talk "I apologize Edward, but I think I know what's going on here. I believe Bella has received a power that allows her to use other vampire's powers when she is in a close vicinity to them. Like how she can read your mind Edward. I believe if she concentrated, she could read other people's minds through you. Now she and Alice have shared a vision. If she got close enough to Jasper, she could probably share his power as well."

Edward was still looking at my face as I digested all of this. But I wasn't really paying attention. I was still shocked at what I had seen.

"Bella, what's wrong, what did you see"

"I saw Aro, a-and Jane and more of the Volturi and they were coming. Here"

Everyone looked just as shocked as Alice and I. Everyone except Carlisle, who turned to Alice.

"Alice how much time do we have?"

Alice regained her composure and answered in a low voice.

"They'll be here by morning."
