Chapter 5
Anabellas POV
ARGGGH! How were we supposed to bring this up with mom and dad. I'm laying in bed thinking of how to deal with asking mom and dad about the whole super twins thing when I hear them talking….WAIT , WHAT? Why can I hear them.
"Edward, how do we tell them. I still don't understand how they haven't noticed anything strange. I just don't know what to do. Help me out here honey" Oh, so they were hiding something.
I could almost picture dad walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist, nuzzling along her jaw, under her ear. "Bella, love, calm down. They are starting to change, and one or both of then can probably hear us. I'm referring to you Ana."
I smiled slyly, a little embarrassed and walked to Mason's room. I knocked on the door and got no response, I knocked again and still no answer. I tried the door but it was locked. I decided to try out my new strength. I punched through the door and undid the lock on the other side. Ha.
"Mason what are you do-" I was cut off by a sudded hand over my mouth, I twisted my head to see Mason grining at me.
"You have to be quiet-super quiet- so mom and dad don't hear you." He whispered in my ear. I gave him a puzzled look . "I was trying something, ill show you if you promise to be very quiet."
I nodded my head and he let go. "So, what are you doing?" I whispered so low and fast I wasn't sure he even heard it…since when could I do that.
"Stay back." He cautioned as he held out his arms for emphasis. Suddenly he was by the window with a match in his hand…"Ready?"
All I could do was nod and watch as he lit the match. He raised it to his hand and reached out and touched the flame to his finger tip. Suddenly his whole hand went up in flames and he thew his head back and laughed at the shocked expression on my face. He controlled it into a little fire ball in his palm. Then he closed his hand and it was gone.
"How did you do that!?" I guess I was a little too loud because Mason shushed me as we heard mom call up to see if we were ok we assured her we were.
Mason was grinning like an idiot when I turned back around."I was listening to some Beethoven, Moonlight Sonata actually. I was Snapping my fingers because I was planning on remixing it later and I snapped my fingers once…and the tips lit on fire. Then I couldn't do it anymore and I was playing around with a liter, when I ran my hand throught the flame, you know how I do that when I get bored or deep in thought?" and I did so I nodded, he'd always done it, no one knew why he didn't get burnt but whenever he did it around aunt Alice she squealed and mumbled something about that being a real talent of his someday.
"Well," he continued, "I was just doing that and when I ran my hand through it I caught fire …but it didn't burn."
"Ok, major weird scale. I think we should talk to mom and dad soon." I was fidgeting and I know he noticed. I didn't want to talk to them just yet and he cold sense it.
"No, well figure it out sooner or later, lets use them as a last resort." He bent down to my level and looked into my eyes. "We'll get through this together sis, don't be so worried." He gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze and straightened back out.
"So, what do we do now?" She looked up at him questioningly.
He sighed" I dunno sis but I think we should figure out what else we can do before something bad happens and mom notices that we've noticed." He shrugged and walked into his room plunking down on the bed and patting the spot beside him.
She sat beside him and leaned against his shoulder. "I think they already know that we know something, dad knew that I was listening . Although, I'm not sure how he knew ..or how I heard for that matter." I trailed off, thinking.
"So, what all have we noticed so far, ill write it down."He grabbed a pen and pad of paper off his bed side table.
"Cant sleep, super fast, crazy hearing, the hole 'whispering uber fast' thing, uhh…fire, cold, hard skin, strength…oh, and the other day I found a patch of dying flowers in the greenhouse downstairs and when I touched the soil to see how long ago it had been watered…and all the flowers sprouted, full height , full bloom in like 5 seconds!" she was still remembering it when her brother pulled into a strong hug.
"What was that for?" She asked when she was set back down on the bed.
"This is amazing, sis, it really is. I'm just extremely excited is all. I mean come one, don't tell me your not!" He had dads crazy crooked smile on his face and I couldn't help but smile back.
"I guess your right but it does scare me a little, how could it not." I was laying on my back with my hands behind my head, thinking again. Suddenly Mason was hauling me onto his back and running down the stairs, both of us laughing hysterically. We ran into the living room downstairs giving loud Indian like war cries when we stopped up short, noticing our parents giving us weird looks.
Mason pulled me off of his shoulders and I walked quietly to the sofa, sitting beside my dad, my head leaning on his shoulder.
Then…we all burst out laughing. "What..was…that…all…about?" Mom asked in between laughs, trying to catch her breath.
"We have something to show you and it made us a little over excited is all." Mason stated matter of factually. When I gave him a warning glance he just chuckled and continued, "Go find a flower ill go get a lighter. We'll have to show them sooner or later anyway Ana. Come on, pleaaase?"
I took a look at his face, bad mistake. He was making the cutest saddest puppy eyes I had ever seen. "Fine" I sighed, our parents stopped laughing at his face and gave us questioning looks and then shared a look themselves.
"Whats this about kids?" Dad asked us suddenly aware of the uneasy tones we were using.
I looked at him apologetically then a our mother, "Uhh..hold that thought?? We'll show you. Come on Mason lets get our stuff."
I looked at our parents once more before I turned and walked towards the greenhouse while Mason walked toward the kitchen in search of a little portable fire.
