A/N: Brittany, ome your review made me SO happy! Thanks soo much! Okay, sorry ladies I know you guys missed Edward on Monday…cause it was Kakasi's birthday! Edward's went to her house, sang her happy birthday, gave her a kiss (on the cheek, don't get excited!) and just hung out with her! Sound good? Well review and you'll get him for your birthday! Happy Birthday! God I sound like a commercial now~ :)
Thanks so much for reading! Please review?
And then I noticed his mouth wasn't moving.
I heard a loud gasp and it took me a while to notice it was me. I slipped my hand out of Edward's and then the voices stopped as suddenly as they started. What was that? I concentrated on not hyperventilating. I could feel my eyes widening and my mouth turning into a perfect o.
Edward turned to look at me concerned. "Bella?"
I could only shake my head in response.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" his voice was full of concern.
I let out the breath I'd been holding in. "Something weird just happened." It sounded meshed together and incoherent.
His eyes widened. "What happened?" I was still in shock. Can vampires go into shock? It felt as if I could. All of the frustration that had been previously painted on his face was washed away by worry.
"I'm not sure" I grimaced.
He waited for me to say something.
"I don't know what happened. I was talking to you – trying to get your attention – and then it got really quiet. Then you snapped out of it, breaking your focus and then my head was filled with these voices. As if everyone was talking at once. I could hear everyone. I heard Alice and Jasper." I realized I was now whispering. "Jasper said something so then I turned around to look at Jasper…" I took a deep breath. "…but his mouth wasn't moving. I could still hear him though."
His brows furrowed. "What did you hear?"
I quoted Alice and Jasper perfectly. "Why is he acting so weird? …feeling like that? Oh god, calm down. I can do this…"
His golden eyes brightened as he realized something. "Bella? I think you just found your power." He grinned, pulling me into a tight hug – burying his face in my hair.
What did he mean? My power? I always knew there was something wrong with my brain…
"I don't understand" I confessed.
"Bells, that's exactly what I heard…." His smile got wider.
I narrowed my eyes, trying to put two and two together.
"…when I was reading people's minds" he added. He sounded so happy.
"Wait, so I can read minds?" My voice was doubtful.
He hesitated.
"I'm not sure" he grimaced. "Why don't you try it?"
I simply stood there for a while – having no clue what to do. Really, how do you read people's minds? Shouldn't it just come to me?
"Uh, Edward? …How?"
"Concentrate on one person… concentrate on me... just try to hear me." I nodded.
I looked directly at him, my eyes narrowing as I put every ounce of my concentration into reading his mind.
Blank. He was either brain dead, thinking of nothing or we were wrong about my powers.
"You're either thinking of nothing or it's not working" I voiced my thoughts out loud.
We both grimaced.
"What were you thinking when you heard all those voices? What were you doing?" he asked after a while. He took my hand and pulled me to an empty table. We sat there with trays of food in front of us, not eating of course.
"I was trying to know what you were thinking. You had such a frustrated look on your mind. I took your hand and…"
Both of our jaws dropped.
"Maybe if…" we both said at the same time.
I nodded. I leaned in toward him and grabbed both of his hands in mine. I tried again to concentrate on reading minds and my head once more was filled with loud, noisy voices. I yanked my hands away.
"It worked?" he asked excitedly.
I nodded.
"It's too much" I whispered. "Too loud"
He understood. "Concentrate on one mind, honey. Try to read Alice's mind – her tone is usually easy to pick up"
I took his hands warily.
…anytime now, Bella. Oh! There it is! You're doing great, Bells! Sorry, I didn't tell you! I honestly just found out five seconds ago. I knew it wouldn't take you guys a long time to get it!
I turned around, breaking my connection with Edward to look for Alice. She was suddenly and unexpectedly in front of us, Jasper by her side.
"Congratulations!"
"Wait, Alice! What exactly can I do? I don't quite understand it"
She smiled. "Here, I'll show you."
She took my hands and we were gone.
We were at our house, everyone in the living room.
"Bella! We have a big surprise for you!! Alice's excitement was contagious.
"Yes. We were all part of it; now we know you don't like surprises but we're pretty sure you'll like this one." Esme said, smiling and it looked as if she were about to cry.
"You ready?"
I nodded.
And then it disappeared. I was back at the high school and Alice was standing in front of with a mischievous smile on her face.
"What is happening to me?" I asked frustrated.
"Silly, Bella. Here's the deal – you can borrow, well not borrow, you can share other powers. You just used Edward's and now mine"
"Cool" I said. Alice glared at me for my obvious indifference. I didn't really want a power that bad. I enjoyed just being me.
Suddenly I was extremely excited. "Really?!" I pretty much yelled. Why was I acting so weird? Just a moment ago I was me and now….
I turned to look at Jasper.
"Ha ha" I said. "Jazz! That's not fair!"
He chuckled. Over the past year, Jasper and I had grown fairly close but he was shy and more conserved. The total opposite of Alice. I guess opposites really do attract each other.
"Bells, hasn't anyone ever told you life isn't fair?" He grinned and I suddenly starting laughing uncontrollably. People were staring now.
"Jasper Whitlock" I used his full name to let him now I was serious while trying my hardest not to burst out laughing. "Hale" I added that in case any humans heard. "You know how much I hate it when you do this. You stop this right now! Don't make me come over there!"
"Ooo scary" he snickered.
I got up with one hand over my mouth trying to stop the giggles and smacked his arm strong enough to kill a human. And then in a millisecond I had the best idea. Instead of pulling my hand away, I rested it on his arm.
Alice giggled and Jasper looked at me with wide, frightened eyes.
Lol any guesses? Grr I wrote a lot of this chapter a couple of days ago and I forgot what Alice's surprise is! Any ideas?? Anywaays I wanted the chapter out today cause I'll be out of town for the next four days.
OME THE TWILIGHT MOVIE IS ALMOST OUT!
Yay :)
Who's going to watch it?
(I know, stupid question)
So I was thinking….i'm getting spoiled, I know….but I was thinking, how about we try to reach 600? We're at 550…. Please? You have no idea how happy that would make me. I'll give you an idea…I'll be almost as happy as if I could watch the movie tonight, or if Edward appeared in front of me, or if I could meet Stephenie Meyer! Please????? Btw, you don't have to have an FF account to review…just in case you don't know and aren't reviewing because of that! :)
In case you haven't noticed, you guys made me addicted to reviews soooo REVIEW!:)
