Exhilarating

JPOV

We ran, like the wind. We cleared the field without being seen and all hopped the fence to get to the back forest that leads to the mountains. Once clear of anyone and everyone I stopped, just behind Edward to wait for the others. They arrived laughing. "What on earth is funny? If Y'all hadn't noticed we nearly totally blew our cover back there, I don't particularly find that funny!" "Oh lighten up ya big pansy" David laughed. "Shut up David".

"Jeez Louise man, you gotta get loose, I'm surprised you're not more accustomed to having fun with a family like this." He grinned at the rest of them. "HAHA! I like this one!" Emmett pointed to my little brother. Alice came and squeezed my hand, forcing me to gaze down at her, she gazed back with soft eyes that screamed love, a wash of calm flew over me and I relaxed. "Sorry for yelling David, I was just worried." "Dude it's totally fine, I understand why bro, you gotta look out for the family, you're a great brother." My quirky little brother, who stood equal to me now in height at 6"3, smiled at me, the kind of smile that made me feel at home again, it had been so long since I'd seen him, I hadn't thought about him in over 200 years but now all I could do was think, my mind screamed a thousand thoughts, a million words that I couldn't place or piece together.

Jasper was confused, I could tell, I'd seen that look before, over 200 years ago from when we were kids, it's the look he got when Lucy Hardie rejected him when he was 12 after he'd tried so hard for 3 months to impress her.

I knew he was having a hard time adjusting to my presence and I couldn't blame him. "Look Jaz, lets get back to your place, I can meet Carlisle and Esme and we can sort this out.

WHAT! None of us had mentioned either Carlisle nor Esme, how could he know of their existence?... Had he heard the buzz around town of us, from another vampire during his travels? Then, I heard it, his voice, clear as day, but his mouth hadn't moved… "Yes Edward, I can play mind games too." He could read minds? Well at least I wouldn't be alone in my head anymore. We spoke this way for a while, he told me of how he had acquired his powers, yes, power(s). The Vampire that had accidentally changed him had a unique skill that he could pass on powers through transforming a human to one of our kind. Whilst David was undergoing the change a voice which he recognized was his own subconscious spoke to him, asking which two skills he would like, he chose mind reading and the ability to manipulate time, although the latter was only achievable for a short period, up to an hour, meaning that he could not rewind time indefinitely.

"Well Jaz, lets get going", my brother looked up from Alice with a glint in his eye and his lopsided smile, that said that he was happy, scrawled on his face. "Last one home has to kiss a warewolf!" Emmett screeched. We all took off, running like the devil, Edward broke out ahead, Jasper on his tail, followed closely by the others, they darted between the trees and then they stopped, all noticing that I had not moved, without a word I sprung into the trees and gained a lead, the others began running again, we reached the house within minutes.
