Chapter 9

After that Edward had left the room. He had apologized and said he needed to gather his thoughts. I had respected that and went to gather my own. I was out in the woods again with my iPod. I was perched in a low tree branch of an elm. At least I thought that's what it was. I stared at the leaves as they were shaken by the wind. The branches rocked when gusts came by. I crushed a leave in my hand, the green residue turning my fingers green. I didn't know if Edward would ever talk to me again. It would be easier if he didn't but I wanted answers.

I was distracted from my thoughts when I saw Edward run by with someone on his back. That's interesting, who was that with him? I think I'll go see. It's been a bit over 7 hours since we spoke. It was 8 in the morning now. I sped through the trees, going from branch to branch. I hardly touched down on one branch before I was on another, I didn't make a sound. I could just see him in the distance. I kept going until I was on the edge of a clearing. He was in the clearing letting a human girl off his back. I quickly used my ability to block my mind from him; he would not realize that I was stopping him. The clearing was lovely, filled with wildflowers of every color. I quietly moved into a more comfortable position to watch from. They were talking at a human volume so I could hear almost everything.

"Bella, are you alright?"

"Fine, running always makes me a bit dizzy," the girl replied. Her name's Bella and she knows he's a vampire. Bella has run with him before too. Are they dating or something? Wait a minute is this the Bella Carlisle mentioned to Edward when I heard them talking? Is she? Yes! The girl from town who I couldn't control! The plot thickens. I saw him flash a quick smile; Bella probably didn't even see it because it was so fast. As I watched them Edward sat in the tall grass, his skin reflected the sunlight. I felt bad spying on them but who could blame me. The human, Bella, had been admiring the flowers but now moved her attention to Edward. He had a troubled look on his face though he was trying to hide it from her. She moved to his side and took his hand in hers. As she did this I felt a small and distant pang of jealousy. He, after all, used to be mine. She examined every inch of it and how it sparkled. I sparkled too and it still mesmerized me. Bella's dark hair blew in the wind and whipped her in the face. She pushed it behind her ear and moved her hand up Edward's arm. She stared at his facial features. After a few moments she frowned, she realized something was wrong.

"What is it?" she asked Edward in a concerned tone. She could tell there was something on his mind bugging him.

"Nothing," he lied. She glared at him; he would have to do better. He sighed lightly, "Bella really it's noting to worry about. I've just been thinking."

"About changing me?"

"Among other things, yes." They were going to change her? Into a vampire! Did she know how painful it was, how much you loose? I lost a lot… "Let's just enjoy this and not think about things like that." Yes let's. He is still not telling you everything Bella. They continued their conversation and romantic gestures. I felt awkward, guilty, and jealous watching them and decided to leave. If they kissed I might actually get angry. As I left I had the feeling Edward had seen me but I tried to shake it off. I was now officially depressed. If I was human I would have cried. As I ran home, weaving through the trees venom built up in my throat. I paused and spit it out, I had no idea why. I decided to distract myself from Edward. I went to the house and saw Emmet and Jasper on the couch watching ESPN. I could make this interesting!

"Hey guys, what are you up to?" I asked as I strode into the room and stood in front of the TV.

"Hey!" Emmet exclaimed as he moved to see the television. I blocked his view once again. "We were watching the game."

"Really? What game?" I teased still blocking their view.

"The basketball game which you are not letting us see," Jasper said exasperated.

"That's interesting. Who's playing?"

"It won't matter if you don't move!" Emmet yelled. I laughed, it was so easy to mess with them. Emmet stood, probably to move me, but I stopped him. "What did you do?"

"Sit," I told him. He had no choice but to obey.

"Don't use you're ability on him, I want to see the game," Jasper said.

"I'll use it on you too if you try anything." That shut him up. Jasper sent a wave of calm over me, which didn't really do much. "Jasper I was already pretty calm. You know I'm just messing with you guys." Idea! So Jasper wouldn't be mad at me! I sat on the couch between them.

"Thank you!" Jasper said. I only let them see the game for a little while. Emmet stood because I made him. He moved over and stood in the spot I had just left. He was right in front of the TV. He blocked it much better than I did.

"Gill! What's the point of putting me here?" Emmet asked.

"This way Jasper can't blame me or move me because I'm not blocking the game, you are."

"Ya but you're the reason I'm here."

"So." That's an answer for ya! "What's new Jas?" This was so fun!

"Gill," He groaned.

"What?" I asked innocently, "Can't I talk to you?"

"Please move him!" Jasper said raising his voice. I let out a sigh. I moved Emmet to sit right on Jasper's lap. It took me a while to master my ability, my gift, in the beginning. Making people walk was pretty hard and the more complicated the motion the more I had to work. "Gill!" Jasper glared at me.

"Jasper is not comfortable!" Emmet said. I couldn't stifle my giggles any longer, they just glared more. We heard Alice erupt in laughs upstairs. She came galloping down to see us. When she walked in she laughed even harder.

"I had a vision Gill was going to do something like this but it didn't go this far," Alice said before giggling more.

"Alice please tell her to get Emmet off me," Jasper said while shoving Emmet who I forced back into place on his lap. I let go of Emmet but he stayed in place.

"Emmet I'm not keeping you there any more," I informed him. Jasper wasted no time in pushing Emmet to the floor. Alice and I laughed again. It was nice to be distracted.

"You have to do that again some time!" Alice exclaimed. Emmet got to his feet and sat on the couch once again. I was still sitting next to him and Jasper. Emmet swiftly yanked on my hair. He knew anything too obvious I would just stop. "That was childish Em," Alice told him. He just huffed.

"Are you both happy now? You can see the game," I teased.

"What ever, why don't you two go and do girl things. You don't want to see the game," Emmet said.

"Don't be so sad Em, we were just joking around," Alice said this in a whiney tone and gave Emmet a ridiculous pout. He couldn't help but laugh at her face. "Jas I think I will go do something with Gill. Do you mind?"

"Go ahead, I'll be watching the game for now," Jasper replied. Wait a second Alice I never agreed to this! Well actually this will be a good way to get my mind of things. Alice grabbed my wrist and led me out of the living room.

"See you later!" we both called as we left. I haven't gotten to spend too much time with Alice yet. We ran into Carlisle on our way to wherever Alice was taking me. It was his day off. He was still in his usual attire except his shirt was more casual.

"What are you up to?" he asked as we passed. I looked at Alice to answer because I had no idea what we were doing. "Gill if you're not busy later we should talk." I nodded.

Alice finally replied, "We're going out for a while. We're going shopping!"

Note: Shopping with Alice! Yeaaa thanks for reading, please review!
