Before Carlisle had continued "Bella, let's work on your powers." I had thought that he was going to direct the attention off of me – I was wrong. When Carlisle had said "Let's not worry ourselves with that just yet. Let's focus on the werewolves for now." he had meant "Let's not worry ourselves with Bella having to defeat the Divinus Tria just yet. Instead, let's focus on her powers which are our only hope to defeating the werewolves."

When I comprehended the true meaning behind his words, the gravity of the situation finally fell on me. I was the only hope of winning the war, and I hadn't even been a vampire a full day yet.

"Shouldn't we do this somewhere else? I don't want to ruin anything in the house." I asked, recalling that I was supposed to have telekinesis.

"Yes, let's all head outside." Carlisle commanded, and we were all outside – myself arriving first. Being a vampire was easier than I thought, almost luxurious. Well except the fact that we couldn't go outside in the sun, had to move around constantly, and in the Cullen's case, we had to refrain from attacking humans. Okay, so maybe being a vampire isn't all that great.

When we had all gathered I heard Rosalie thinking Great, so now she gets to be pretty, powerful, and super-fast? Ugh, totally not fair. Edward and I both chuckled, and the family seemed to catch on that we had both heard someone's thoughts. If Rosalie could blush, she would have been tomato red.

"What power should we start with?" I asked Carlisle.

"Hmm… well I suppose you have already received part of Ardelle's power. You have gained her power to gain the power of other vampires – however, you don't need to touch them like she did. Why don't we work on her other power? Seeing into the future. Alice?"

"Of course." Alice walked up to me. "Okay, Bella focus on someone or something. We'll start off simple – try the stock market for let's say, this Friday."

I focused as hard as I could on the little I knew about stocks. I focused on Friday, which was three days away. It was difficult, all I saw at first was blackness, but I didn't give up. After a while I saw flashes of what looked like a computer screen, which had a list of different business and stocks, and how much they had risen and fallen by. I couldn't seem to keep the picture in my head to read the statistics that were written in plain font. I tried to keep the image from flickering, but to no avail – so I opened my eyes.

Everyone was staring at me with questioning eyes. "I saw what looked like a computer monitor. I know that it had the stocks on it, but the vision kept on flashing on and off in my head, so I couldn't get a clear reading." I expected that Carlisle would be disappointed, but he looked rather pleased.

"Good. That's very good for your first vision." Edward entwined my fingers with his, a proud smile on his face. Hmm… I wonder if I can read his thoughts…

I concentrated on Edward, and was very aggravated when I didn't hear a thing. How can I be one of the most powerful vampires to exist and not be able to read his mind?!

I focused harder and harder, and then finally broke through… a little. Bella… perfect…I wonder…

His thoughts were sketchy in my mind, and though it was better than not hearing anything at all, it didn't ease my frustration.

I turned towards Edward and worked even harder at trying to hear his thoughts. I was sure I must be giving him some sort of funny look from concentrating so hard. "Bella, what are you doing?" Jasper finally asked.

"Yeah what's with the funny face? Emmett chimed in.

I blushed, way to make yourself look like an idiot I thought. Just then I heard Edwards mind a little clearer blush…so pretty… glad she still can.

"Bella what are you doing?" Carlisle asked me this time.

"I was trying to read Edward's thoughts." I explained.

"Trying?"

"Yeah. It's not going so well. I can only hear some parts, it's like I have bad reception on my radio or something."

"Maybe you only get FM and I'm on AM." Edward suggested, and I remembered how he had once said the same thing about me.

"Hmph." I muttered agitated.

"Bella, love, I have to deal with it everyday. And I can't hear anything." He reminded me. I took that into consideration but that didn't relieve the annoyance this was causing me.

Edward leaned in and kissed my forehead gently. "You still smell absolutely amazing." He said, pleased.

I blushed, and of course scowled at the fact that I could.

"Bella dear can't you just be happy that" he pointed to my rosy cheeks "that makes me so happy?" Edward pleaded softly.

"No." I said sourly. Losing the blush was one of the things I had been looking forward to when I became a vampire. My blush had always haunted me, and it still does even though I'm dead. I guess I'm overdue for more bad luck.

Edward chuckled, "Okay, I suppose we all have a right to our own opinions." He kissed me on the forehead again, and Emmett started making kissy-faces, and gagging noises.

"Ahem." Carlisle interrupted, trying to be polite. "I think we should continue with the training. There will be plenty of time for that once the war is finished and the Divinus Tria is dealt with."

I flushed again, and cursed under my breath. Edward put his finger to my cheeks where the color was. "It's warm." He said blissfully. I sighed and turned to Carlisle.

"Should we continue with the premonitions or should we try another one of our powers?"

"I suppose we should try to at least introduce each of your powers to you before you start mastering them. Why don't we try freezing time?"

There was no one who could teach me this, so I was on my own. I closed my eyes again and began to focus like I had in the living room. I concentrated on how everything had been before I closed my eyes, like it was a photograph. Then, abruptly, all sound around me vanished. There hadn't been much sound in the first place, but the unnecessary breathing of the vampires around me was no longer heard. I hesitantly opened my eyes and found that nothing around me had any movement, and things were just as they had been when I had closed my eyes.

I looked around for a moment in astonishment. Wow, I can't believe I'm this powerful. I walked around, making sure I had really done it. I suddenly had a strong sensation to pull a prank. It would be so easy… and so funny…

Just as I was beginning to really get into the idea, the family came back to life (well, if you can call it life).

I was standing beside Emmett, which is the exact opposite of where I had been standing before. "I take it it worked? How did you know how to unfreeze us?" Carlisle asked.

"I didn't, you guys just sorta started moving again on your own." I was a bit frustrated at this fact. This was getting more and more annoying with each power I tried.

"I see. Well I guess that's because you're so new. You probably aren't strong enough yet to make it stick." Carlisle spoke matter-of-factly. I sped over to Edward's side.

"I want to try again." I was determined to prove that I am strong enough.

"I suppose it couldn't hurt." As I was about to close my eyes Carlisle added "Bella, I would like you to try something."

"Yes?"

"Why don't you try to freeze a single object? Try freezing one of us." Rosalie was about to protest, so I jumped at the opportunity and chose Rosalie to be my guinea pig. Before she could stop me, she was frozen solid.

"You did it! Marvelous!" Carlisle congratulated, and I couldn't wipe off the smug smile on my face.

Emmett's eyes were wide with shock and worry. "Stop! Stop now!" He begged. I felt guilty and was about to change her back, when something occurred to me.

"Everybody, stand exactly how you were before." I ordered. I didn't want Rosalie to bite my head off for freezing her after she had made it clear she didn't want me to.

The family did as I said, and I allowed Rosalie to move again. She had been in mid-sentence when I had frozen her, so she finished the sentence. Everyone in the family broke out in laughter.

"What is sooo funny?"

Through my giggles I managed to tell her that we were laughing at absolutely nothing. She glared at me, but she didn't have anyway to prove that I was lying.

"Carlisle, let's move onto telekinesis!" I suggested enthusiastically.

"No, no. You've already practiced a lot today. We don't want to wear you down, it is only your first day as a vampire."

First day… first day. There was something I was forgetting. What was it they said about vampires when they were freshly-changed?

Then it hit me – hard. My mouth started watering with thick and bittersweet venom. In the pit of my stomach I felt completely ravenous. I barely refrained from falling to my knees from the thirst.

"Carlisle? I need to hunt. Now." I said it in a demanding tone, a tone that sounded completely out-of-character for me.

"Okay, I'll take you-" Carlisle began.

"No, I'll take her." Edward didn't wait for a response, and began running deeper into the woods, with me at his side. Edward would look over at me and smile, and I would smile too. I was finally a vampire. I would finally be able to spend the rest of eternity with him. I would be Mrs. Cul – oh my god! We're engaged! How could I have forgotten that?! I stopped running when the realization struck me.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked in a panicked voice.

"We're engaged!" I shouted.

Edward's eyes smoldered with sadness. "Don't you want to marry me?"

"Of course. I didn't mean it like that. I just, I guess I forgot." I explained, trying to make the somber mood that had washed over him vanish.

"Oh, okay." He flashed me one of his crooked smiles, which I had missed in the eight painful days of my transformation. "When do you want to go shopping for a ring?"

"Never?" I suggested timidly.

"Silly Bella." He pulled me towards him, held me in his arms, and kissed me gently on the lips. "We'll go as soon as we get home. We'll want Alice's help. She'll know where we can go – somewhere where there's a good selection and no one will recognize us."

Being slightly dazzled from the kiss, I didn't protest. But all of a sudden I found myself turning my head towards a taunting scent. I ripped myself from Edwards arms and followed the scent. The venom began to flow in my mouth and I could feel my senses taking over.

"Bella! Wait! You don't know how to hunt!" Edward shouted at me. I didn't care.

I sniffed the air for a hint as to what animal it was. It was a deer. It's scent was intoxicating. As I neared the deer I made sure I was extra quiet. I ran tip-toed and hid behind some brush. I crouched, and pounced onto the deer. I kicked its back, paralyzing it, and bent down on my knees. I licked my lips and lowered my teeth down to its neck. I drank it dry.

By the time Edward had caught up with me, I had already consumed every last drop. I felt slightly ashamed that I had just run off like that. Edward inspected my work. "Are you done?" I nodded. "Okay, let's go. We have to go get a ring!" he said enthusiastically. I grimaced and he laughed at my expression.

We ran back to the house hand in hand. It was odd, having both of our hands be so cool and smooth.

We slowed as we neared the house. We walked through the dense woods onto the miniscule lawn, which took all of three steps to cross. I once again observed the house. The windows were tinted darkly, and I could see my reflection.

"Edward, why are my eyes still crimson?"

"It will take a while before your eyes become golden." He answered simply. I sighed, my red eyes were just another thing that separated me from the family. "In time, love." He said, while opening the door for me.

Inside I could feel the tension, the nervousness, that was coming from my family. I could sense the amusement coming from someone else… and hate from another. There were a variety of different emotions drifting in the air.

I looked into the living room to find my family and some unexpected visitors. In the living room Aro, Jane, and at least ten other members of the Volturi lounged. Aro smiling happily, and Jane glaring hatefully.

(A/N: okay, so there you go. What are the Volturi doing there? What do they want? Are they the "unexpected players"? PLEASE REVIEW I WANT TO REACH 50 REVIEWS. I'll probably update faster if there are more reviews!!!)
