Vision

Singing in the rain. Just singing in the rain. What a wonderful feeling I'm happy again. I'll walk down the lane, with a happy refrain. I'm singing, just singing in the rain.

Edward sighed as the credits rolled down the screen. We both sat on the couch. He was on the left. His long legs extending down to me and I sat Indian style with a pillow perched in the middle. My chin resting on it. I don't know why Edward was being such a butt head. I'd told him millions of times to just go with the family. Alice had seen them playing baseball in the thunder. But of course I wasn't there because of the sound and Edward said he'd stay with me. Like I was a two year old.

He sighed again as he pressed rewind on the remote.

"Edward why don't you just go. I'll be fine."

"No, I'm staying. We need a movie date."

"Edward. We've seen all these movies before. What's the point of watching them again?"

"Because we're spending time together."

"You can spend time with Carlisle, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Esme, and Rosalie yeah know."

He sighed and got up.

Yes. I'd won.

But instead of leaving he went to the VCR and took out the tape. A low growl sounded from my chest.

"Calm down." Edward replied as he put a different movie in.

It was Jaws. He was an idiot.

"Am not."

I flung the pillow at him. He casually dodged and it hit the wall. He came over and was about to sit on the couch, when I put my feet to the floor and skidded the couch back. He fell down.

"Ha. Ha." I responded from my win.

He sighed and moved the couch back then sat down.

I looked to the TV and watched as the camera zoomed in on the beach. I'd never been to a beach.

"You've never been to the beach?"

I just looked at him.

"You've never been on a vacation?"

"Edward, my parents weren't really one for vacations." I laughed lowly and shook my head.

"Oh."

There was a long pause filled by some screaming from the TV.

"Don't read my mind."

"Ugh. Fine." he was planning something.

When the movie was done, everyone was back. It was now raining and the thunder had passed. I got up and went to my room. The gray from outside filled each corner of my walls and it looked lovely. I went to the desk where all of my paints sat and collected them. Then went to my piano, which sat by the large back window and began to finish the flowers I had started to paint this morning. They were almost done, just about 50 more to do. It took about ten minutes to finish.

When done, I took my place on the bench and took in the rain that clashed into the window and began composing a melody. Alice waited outside my doorway, listening.

"Yes, Alice." I stopped and she came in quickly. She sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hi Jewels." I shuddered inside. I hated that nickname she had given me but decided just to go along with it.

"What do you need Alice?"

"What size do you wear?"

"I don't need any cloths Alice. You should know that more than anyone." I paused for a moment. "You know what size I am." Alice had dressed me up way to many times. We fit into the same size almost. She was just a little bit shorter than I.

"Please go shopping with me!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I have enough cloths."

"But you don't have any bathing suits."

"Neither do you…"

"That's why we need to go shopping."

"Just take Rose."

She sighed. "Fine."

When she left I got up and flung myself on the bed and moaned. It was hard not listening to peoples thoughts. You had to put up big blocks and be constantly paying attention. No fun.

Slowly, I rolled myself out of the bed and went downstairs. The house was completely empty, except for Carlisle, who was sitting at the table reading a stack of papers and what seemed to be a new book that was quite large.

"Hey Carlisle." He looked up with a surprised expression.

"You're so quite, I thought you went out with everyone."

"I didn't even know everyone was going. I'm on mind block right now because of Edward."

"Oh. I see. Well you are welcome to talk to me." he smiled and motioned to a chair beside him.

"You look a little busy." I laughed. "Besides, I'm running on empty, I'm going to get some munchies in."

"Okay then. Have fun." he looked down at the papers and continued.

I went out into the freezing autumn air. Even if I wasn't wearing a knit long sleeved shirt, the coldness wouldn't even bother me. Our temperature would be equal. The clouds were creating a gray over cast and the forest was dark. Like always, I closed my eyes and waited as the colored picture took place inside my eyelids.

Not to long ago we'd (Edward, Carlisle and I) taken test for show how my vision was affected. I saw an organisms color or "trail" fully for three days then it would slowly wear off. If it rained then I could lose the trail much quicker. The color of plants and trees would change with the seasons or if the plant was dieing. Humans didn't have the same specific coloring. All were red, but with different tinting. Same with vampires, but we all had a distinct color. New colors lead to new things and over time I had a very long list of colors and things that existed in the world.

I wasn't really up for hunting right now, but it had to be done. It wasn't to hard for me, but I stilled needed blood to maintain. So I took the path of the deer and ate two, just to be safe. After about two hours of just listening to the animals moving around and looking at the beautiful colors it was time to go back. The moon now sat in the sky, it was almost full. Just looking at the moon was a grace to the eyes, but through my eyes a painter or poet would die of a heart attack from its beauty. In my vision the moon shone like lace incased with millions of small diamonds. It sat in a satin black fabric with glitter of multiple colors patterned on it.

I went back to the house to find that no one was back. I went upstairs and got a blanket from the closet and went back outside, placing the blanket on the cold ground. It flatten once down and I smiled when I realized it was one of the blankets Edward had placed on my cold floor so many years ago. My body extended on the silk comforter and relaxed. About a mile off, near the entrance of the house, the grass floor crunched beneath a car that was going over the speeding limit, and was now pulling into the garage. Everyone was back and they'd soon be in the house. I closed my thought range. Soon Edward would be coming out here to sat hi and ask why in the world I was out here.

"Hey." Edward called from the kitchen.

"Hey Edward." I giggled.

"What in the world are you doing out here."

"Camping. You're welcomed to join."

"Sure, I'm going to help Alice move her bags in."

"Okay." I closed my eyes.

He came back in about two minutes and laid out next to me.

"How was shopping?" I asked still not opening my eyes.

"Okay I guess. Alice said you didn't want to go, that's why we didn't get you when you didn't come down…why didn't you come down?"

"I can't hear anything when I block thoughts. It's very stressful. You're causing me stress." I made a pouting face but didn't open my eyes.

"Sorry." he laughed. "But it's worth it. I got you something."

"Really? That's nice of you. What id it?"

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"Oh. Fun."

"So what did you do while we were out?"

"Hunted."

"That's cool."

"Yeah, eating two deer is the principal of fun."

His laughter vibrated in his chest.

"Hey Edward?" I said after a long pause.

"Yeah?"

"Can I show you something?"

"Um. Sure. Why not?"

"Okay. You need to look into my head and I want you to ignore all my thoughts and look at the picture okay."

"Yeah."

I wasn't quiet sure if he was looking. I couldn't open my eyes, because if he was then it would ruin what he was seeing. If I looked to his mind he would yell at me because I might hear something.

"Stop thinking!" he yelled at me.

"Okay." I laughed.

There was a long pause. I changed the picture from the moon to the first time I saw him. The picture was blurry but was a representation of how he looked to me. Then I saw his color and how he looked now and started thinking of the stupid times we've shared and the happy moments. Then about the blanket.

I smiled and opened my eyes. His were still shut and if some person came walking back they'd think he was sleeping. A grin grew on his face and I began shaking my head.

"That was beautiful. Is that how you see everything?"

I nodded. "That's not even half of it though."
