A/N: Okay, I'm sorry for taking a while. I'm bad I know, the weekends usually mean a lot of updates from me but I had tons of stuff to do. So I'm sorry!! Maybe if I get bored in Prob and Stats, like I normally do I'll update faster this week. I hope you like this chapter. It took several revisions to meet your expectations. :)

A Lost Bet

Freeze!

BPOV

I got out of the bathroom wearing a robe and found that Alice had already laid out clothes for me on my bed. Should have known. I smile to my self and quickly put on the clothes. Wow, I can get used to the vampire speed. I hear Charlie talking to my family downstairs and I quickly run down it and stop before I enter the living room. Charlie looks up at me and gasps.

"Hey.. Bells. How are you?"

"I'm good, dad. What brings you here?" He looks down at his hands and then stares back in to my eyes.

"Well... I just wanted to stop by. Someone said you were going to go on your honeymoon soon? Like you're leaving today?" I curse my self under my breath and I see the others chuckle to themselves. We made up this lie that I was going to leave for vacation on the day I was getting changed so they can make up a story about how Edward and I died on a freak boating accident or something. It was the perfect plan... but now, it doesn't sound so perfect. Especially since I'm immune to human blood. Maybe we don't need to...

"Yes, Charlie, we were going to go today. But there seems to be a change of plans... or well, Jasper and Emmett forgot to book our flights ahead of time so we're going to have to wait." Edward steps in and saves me. I smile at him and slowly walk over to his side. Well, slowly for me. He wraps an arm around my waist and Charlie smiles at the both of us.

"Well, then I came here in vain." I feel stupid.

"No, dad, don't feel stupid. I really love that you stopped by." I move away from Edward and hug my father. "I'm glad you did." It gives me a chance for a proper goodbye.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, you see... we're going to be moving soon. You know, to Dartmouth?" Edward touches me again and I look up and smile. I can't believe she's going to Dartmouth! Wait did I just hear that?

"What was that?" My dad stares at me. What is she talking about... I didn't say anything. Yes... yes he did... in his MIND?! What? I gasp and look up at Edward and he looks confused as well. Love, can you hear me? I nod, secretly. Yes, I can. I think and he looks taken aback.

I can hear you. Oh really? What am I thinking? He looks at me intently and shakes his head. I think I can only hear you when you're thinking in my mind. I smirk. Good. In the meantime Charlie is still staring at me like I'm a psycho freak. Edward walks away to talk to Carlisle. They're whispering softly, but I can still hear them. Carlisle's thoughts floods through my mind and soon so doesn't everyone else's. I start to become overwhelmed. I can't take these voices in my head! Ugh, how does Edward deal with it? I clutch my head and close my eyes really tight.

"Bells, are you okay?" Charlie asks. She looks so different now. I wonder what happened.

What's going on with Bella? How come I couldn't see this? Alice's voice rings out. I shake my head and speaks the only thing on my mind.

"EVERYONE FREEZE!" And they do. No voices in my head... but there's another thing that's happening. Everyone is frozen. I mean seriously frozen in time. Charlie's expression is frozen in to place. Carlisle and Edward look to be in mid sentence. I look around in awe. Did I just freeze time? I think I did. This, is so cool. I gather up my wits and open my mouth to speak. "Okay."

Time unfreezes and the voices come rushing through my head. "Bells?" Charlie looks at me concerned. I look at my father and sigh.

"I'm fine, dad, really. I'm glad you stopped by. We're leaving soon... so I don't know if I'll be able to see you before I go." I quickly respond with a white lie. Charlie smiles at me and gives me a hug.

"Well, I'd better get going. Call me before you leave, hun. Keep me updated on your life." He stands up to leave.

"I will, dad." He nods and walks out of the house. When he pulls out of the driveway everyone turns and looks at me in complete amazement.

"You can read minds? And think in other people's mind?" Carlisle asks me. I shake my head.

"Yes, you can love you just did with me."

"Yeah, but that's not the only thing I can do."

"What are you talking about?" Edward asks coming closer.

"I can freeze time. Or at least I think I can. Maybe I can just freeze people..." Edward slinks an arm around my waist. "Try to freeze just one person to see if it's true, love."

"Who should I freeze?" I ask looking at my future victim. Emmett jumps up and down raising his hand.

"Oooh, me! Please pick me!" I smile and nod.

"EMMETT FREEZE!" I shout and he stops in midair. Everyone gasps and walks closer to the frozen Emmett. I smile to myself. So I can freeze people. That's cool... So why can I read minds too? I was never perceptive to people's thoughts as Edward was...

"I think you should unfreeze my husband now." Rosalie says cooly, and I chuckle.

"Yeah, sorry. Okay, Emmett." Emmett lands on the ground with his hand still raised.

"Pick me!" He smiles and I start laughing. His face scrunches up in confusion. "What?"

"I already did." He frowns and looks at everyone around him.

"But I didn't feel anything."

"I don't think you do. You guys didn't know you were frozen earlier." They look at me in awe. Wow, this is pretty cool. Love, can you please not freeze us with out telling us next time? Edward thinks and I look up in to his eyes. Of course, Edward. "Um, I do have a question though. How do you explain me being able to read and think in to people's minds?"

"I'm not really sure. I think it's because you were always perceptive to everything going on around you that the thoughts and you being able to freeze something is what you brought over. You were always one to crack under pressure." Carlisle chuckles. "I think you always wish you could stop time to think."

"Yeah, that does sound about right." I lean in to Edward and smile. All of the sudden, a smell of wet dog and rust and burnt rubber seeps through my nose. "What is that smell?"

"Damn mongrels, never learn to stay off our property!" Emmett exclaims and he walks towards the front door. Jasper follows shortly after... maybe trying to calm down the situation or something. Edward gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before following his brothers.

Jacob Black. I haven't even been a vampire for at least 24 hours and trouble comes. Just fantastic.
