Chapter 8

The darkness didn't hurt; it was a relief from the pain I had been feeling. Also with this newfound pain-reliever came with it the time to think. What was this new power I had experienced? It was unlike anything I had ever felt before. Does that mean I am powerful enough to destroy the Volturi?

While I was thinking about my power I could feel my senses coming back to me. First was my sense of hearing I felt like it had been amplified again, "Konichiwa," wait was that people from Japan I heard. Yup, my hearing had been extended.

I took a big whiff of air through my nose and I could smell something I had committed to memory, Edward. So he was here and he did want me like I wanted him. His honey-lilac scent hit me like a ton of bricks and I could feel myself coming back to consciousness.

"She should be up in 30 seconds," I heard Alice's bell like voice in a new way. It sounded so much different with my better hearing. I had a sudden thought I hefted my shield out of my mind Edward tell Alice thanks from me.

Will do, Bella. I heard Edward let out what sounded like a deep breath he had been holding, "Bella says thank you Alice," Edward said before grabbing my hand. I had only 10 seconds left.

Alice chuckled with her bell like voice, "You're welcome, Bella."

I shot up straight and gave her a big smile as I opened my eyes to see relief shining in all the Cullen's faces especially Edward's, he looked like he had just gotten out of pain. I stared into Edward's eyes and then the knowledge of my power hit me.

I could copy other people's powers. That was why I could hear everyone's voices when they weren't opening their mouth, that's why I could feel their concern, and that's why I saw that vision.

"OH MY GOD BELLA!!! THAT IS SUCH A COOL POWER I CAN'T WAIT TO HELP YOU PERFECT IT AND JASPER AND EDWARD," I had clamped my hands over my ears as Alice said this because of my newly amplified hearing. Hmm I wonder if my other senses or powers, for that matter, amplified also. I will have to talk to Carlisle and practice it for myself…

As I was deep in thought I realized that Alice was still screaming excitedly and Jasper was trying, with no avail, to calm her down. Well he makes it look so easy to calm a NORMAL person down. I will just concentrate on sending calming waves to Alice…

Suddenly she stopped jumping and looked serene and calm. I started gaping, open-mouthed at her. She just smiled at me as to say thank you. Everyone else was staring at Jasper, in wonder as to how his power amplified like that suddenly. He just shook his head and pointed to me who was still gaping at what I had done.

My jaw was probably on the floor by now. I felt Edward shaking me to get me out of my frozen state.

Carlisle took that time to find out what happened, "Umm, Bella would you mind filling in the rest of us what your new power is?" he was a little uncertain.

I was still in a slight state of shock, but was able to muster up an explanation, "I…I…I… can copy other vampires or humans for that matter who have gifts." Everyone's mouths hit the floor, literally, not, just kidding. Well it was everyone's mouths except for Alice, Edward, and Jasper who knew what was going on.

Suddenly there was four more of me, next to everyone who had their mouth open. I gently closed it for them and went back to one person on the table. I wonder whose power that was. I thought only Jazz, Edward, and Ali had powers.

"Whose power was that?" Emmett's loud voice boomed suddenly. I was about to answer that I didn't know when the answer became quite obvious to me and I'm sure everyone else except Emmett. I looked up to Emmett and saw that everyone else had indeed figured it out and were shaking with silent laughter, "Emmett, Emmett, Emmett," I said shaking my head with fake disappointment, "it should be obvious," I gave him a chance to answer but when he didn't I continued, "it's yours Emmett."

Oh my god, I am so so so so so so so so so so… sooooooooooooo sorry that I didn't update when I said I would. I mean I realized that it was The fourth of July when I was going to update and then the next day I didn't wake up till like noon and it was like…yea. Then I had camp that week to get ready for a competition for my figure skating on Saturday and I got like 8th. I was all sad then so I was like I'll update later and then I forgot so here I am and I am working on Chapter 9 so be ready.
