I had no idea what Edward was seeing, but I was definitely shorter. Then I open my mouth to speak and all that comes out is a bark. "Bella, you're a wolf!" shouts Edward incredulously. I run to the closest body of water, which just happened to be a river and look down at my reflection. I was a wolf! I looked just like my old wolf only smaller. Suddenly I was howling at the top of my lungs.
"Calm down Bella, we'll go back home and see what Carlisle says," says Edward who was obviously just as shocked as I was. I nod and follow Edward as he runs towards home. Although I had become a wolf I hadn't lost my vampire speed and that was reassuring.
When we get back to the house and go inside no one seemed surprised to see a wolf standing next to Edward instead of me. Alice must have seen this. "Tell me what happened," says Carlisle.
"We were chasing some deer and I looked over at Bella and she was like this," says Edward motioning towards me. I begin to think back to what happened. I had been thinking about wanting to be a wolf…so if I wanted to go back to normal…
I begin to think about being a vampire again. I picture myself as a vampire in my head and concentrate on it. The next thing I know I was on two legs instead of four again, but now everyone was staring at me and Edward was wrapping a blanket around me.
"Love, you're naked," says Edward matter-of-factly. If I could blush I'd look like a strawberry I'm sure.
"What happened?" asks Carlisle curiously.
"Umm…I was thinking about how the chase would be easier if I was smaller and I was thinking about being a wolf," I say wrapping the blanket around me tighter. "To turn back I just pictured myself as a vampire again."
"Hmm…I wonder if you can only turn into a wolf or if there are other forms you can take," says Carlisle.
"Later, right now she needs to get dressed and finish hunting," says Edward.
As we run through the forest I look over at Edward who was watching me out of the corner of his eye with a smile on his face. I grin and look ahead at the herd of elk we were pursuing. "We'll need to attack if we don't want to go too far," says Edward. I nod and attack a large buck. Edward wasn't far behind. After I was done drinking from the elk I had caught I look around at my surroundings. We were near the meadow, I could tell by the fading scent of my human body and Edward.
Curious of how it would look with vampire eyes I begin to walk towards the scent. I could hear Edward's soft footsteps as he followed me. I decide to speed up as I walked and suddenly I was running as I reached the meadow. When I get there I stop and look around at the beautiful scene in front of me. The meadow was full of wildflowers and they smelled wonderful. I look around a notice a small rabbit eating a blade of grass. The image made me think of a spotted rabbit I had seen as a child in a pet store window. It had been so cute and looked so soft.
Suddenly the flowers were towering above me. Edward was a giant as he stood above me chuckling. "What were you thinking about this time Bella, Easter?" asks Edward as he reaches down and picks me up. "Carlisle will be pleased to know you don't just turn into a wolf." I begin to squirm trying to get out of Edward's arms. "Okay you win." He puts me back down and I concentrate on being normal again and then I was.
"That's not funny! I couldn't help it, that little rabbit over there made me think of it," I say.
"Well when you do that your clothes seem to disappear," says Edward as his gaze raked over my body making me feel all hot and bothered. Looking at the lump in Edward's pants I'd say he was feeling hot and bothered too.
"Does my lack of clothing bother you?" I ask huskily. Edward grins and suddenly he was looking at me like he had that elk.
"Not at all, Love," says Edward crawling towards me.
After hanging out at the meadow for a bit we decide to go home, but I wasn't about to walk through the forest naked. "Edward pick an animal," I say causing Edward's eyes to widen in surprise.
"Umm…okay…" Edward seemed to think about it a bit before responding. "How about something small? I'll carry you back."
"That's not an animal," I say dryly, but then I had an idea and suddenly I was taller than Edward.
"A horse isn't small Bella!" says Edward. I roll my eyes before motioning towards my back. Luckily Edward understood and he climbs onto my back. Then I was off at vampire speed. When I reached the house I noticed everyone watching from the living room. I stop and Edward gets off of me before I turn into a rabbit. I didn't think Esme wanted a horse walking through her house, and I didn't want to be seen naked more times than necessary. Edward chuckles before picking me up and carrying me into the house.
"So it's not just a wolf…" says Carlisle thoughtfully.
"No, but Bella has trouble controlling it a little. If she thinks about an animal at all then she becomes one," says Edward.
"She'll get used to it in time Edward. You didn't exactly have perfect control over your mind reading skills at first," says Carlisle reasonably. I begin to squirm because I wanted out of Edward's arms so I could go upstairs and get dressed. I was tired of being a rabbit. Edward seems to understand because he puts me down and I hop over to the stairs and go up them. I was beginning to like being a wolf the best.
Once I was dressed I go back downstairs and find everyone waiting for me. "Umm…hey," I say a little unsure as to why they were all staring at me.
"Hello Bella," says Carlisle as I walk into the living room and sit next to Edward.
"You're very controlled," notes Jasper.
"Yes, she is," says Carlisle. Now that they'd mentioned it I supposed they were right.
"Isn't that a good thing?" I ask as Edward wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek causing me to smile.
"It's a very good thing, but you don't have to be in control all of the time," whispers Edward much too low for anyone else to hear. His words caused me to giggle and everyone gave us a quizzical look.
"It was nothing important," I say before elbowing Edward.
"So what do you think makes you shape shift?" asks Carlisle.
"Probably the fact that I used to turn into a wolf," I say causing Carlisle to nod.
"Splendid. What can you tell me about your transformation?" asks Carlisle.
"Umm…what do you want to know?" I ask.
"Well you didn't move or scream at all," says Carlisle.
"Those things wouldn't have made the pain any better," I say without thinking.
"So it did hurt then?" asks Carlisle. Then I realized what I'd said. I really didn't want to hurt Edward's feelings…
"I'm sure it wasn't as bad as everyone else's pain," I say quickly.
"How would you describe it?" asks Carlisle. Edward's grip on my tightens infinitesimally.
"I don't know," I say. I really didn't want to talk about this anymore. "I'd like to be alone with Edward." This seemed to be Alice's cue because she jumps up with a huge grin on her face.
"Then come with me!" says Alice excitedly.
"Why?" I ask causing Alice to scowl at me.
"Don't ask questions just do it!" demands Alice before grabbing my wrist and dragging me out the back door followed by Edward. Once we crossed the river Alice climbs on my back and covers my eyes. "Edward lead her the rest of the way."
"Get off!" I demand.
"Bella be quiet," says Alice as Edward grabs my hand and leads me through the woods.
"Edward was right about you Alice," I grumble.
"What do you mean?" asks Alice.
"You're so tiny and yet so annoying at the same time," I say. I hear Edward groan quietly ahead of me.
"It's a gift. Keep going Edward," says Alice. I wanted to shake my head but I couldn't because Alice had her hands over my eyes. When we finally stop I take a deep breath through my nose. I could smell a lot of different things, but they didn't really make any sense. There was a floral smell, not to mention saw dust and concrete…where was I?
"Surprise!" crows Alice cheerfully.
