Hey, I'm soooooooooooooo sorry for taking soooooo long to update, but this summer I couldn't and then when I got back home and school started it was just sooo hectic! Too much homework and tooo many school hours, I finish at 5:10 pm everyday except monday where I finish at 6:10 pm soooo I really had no time time to update. Anyways, here's the next chapter I hope you all like it.
St. Joan. D'Arc
"So what'd I miss" Asked Andrea.
I raised my eyebrow at her and told her that she didn't miss much. She nodded then let herself into the living room, meaning that she was here for business and not for people to ogle her cause she was the only vampire on earth able to trip over a carpet. She sat promptly on the first available seat and then waited for everyone to sit down around her.
"Well then, lets get this show on the road!" Andrea squealed happily. Some of the boys winced at the high pitch of her voice. I smiled and then said:
"Ok well, I guess you all want to know what my power is right? Well to put it simply my power is that I can access anything through my mind, not only other peoples minds, although I don't do that, I block it out. I prefer to let Teo connect our minds through touch if he needs to talk to us privately. Anyways as I was saying I can access other peoples minds, as well as computers… Even the ones with the most complex, anti virus protection systems. I can hack into the most powerful computers ever, and once I have, I will store the information that I have acquired from it like a hard drive. I can also connect to the internet, have my own online search, in my head. I can have online conversations in my head. All of this, done extremely fast. Like the most modern computers ever made. My head is a computer!" I stared at all the Cullens that were present and had to suppress my laughter, they were all gapping like fish out of water.
Alice seemed to be the first one to get over her shock and she smiled widely and said:
"Wow! That's amazing! You can find out anything! Wait! Why didn't I have a vision about this?" she asked perplexed. I smiled knowingly and stated simply:
"I blocked your mind."
Jasper was the next to speak:
"Can you show us?" All of them nodded enthusiastically, except for Edward who was still sulking. I smiled ruefully and then asked:
"Who has a computer?" Before I had even finished my phrase Emmett was up and had gotten a small skinny laptop. He dropped it on the small coffee table at his feet and then plopped down onto the floor looking at it profusely. As all the Cullens gathered around it, I said:
"Well, great Emmett, but you might want to turn it on. Won't work just like that, aye!" Oh no… I'm becoming like Andrea, the aye word. God help me. They looked at me funny and then all, as one, turned their heads towards the laptop, which was now turning on. Emmett logged into msn and then waited.
The Parkins looked at me knowingly and Andrea smiled hugely, a dangerous twinkle in her eyes. I just sighed, nodded my head slightly and closed my eyes in response to her look. When Emmett told me that he was ready, I opened my eyes, stared at the wall blankly and then turned on my computer. I could feel a buzzing going through my head, as I found the Internet section, small little actions making everything happen, as if I had a hard drive in my head, instead of a brain. The connection came instantly and soon I could feel that feeling that I got every time I was about to use my power. I could see out of the corner my eye the little pop up sign there is, when someone comes online.
It said: ' Belladonna has just signed in.' They all gasped and looked at me in utter aw. I just smiled and then looked at the wall again.
Belladonna says: Heya, guys.
Emmett the strongest says: Bella! Is that really you?
Belladonna says: Of course it is. So anyways this is my power. It's kinda weird ins't it? I only use it when absolutely necessary, otherwise I like using a computer.
Emmett the strongest says: But you power is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool! I would use it all the time if I had it!
Belladonna says: Yes well I'm sure you would.
I focused and then seconds later saw, as I turned to look at them, the sign saying Belladonna has disconnected.
When I had completely disconnected, I turned to look at them, to see that they were all looking awestruck. I just smiled sweetly and then turned to my family, however before I could say anything, Esme interrupted me and said:
"That is absolutely fantastic! It's the first time I've seen a power like that! Carlisle is going to be so interested! Oh, I can't wait till he gets home!" She was practically as giddy as Alice. I had never seen her like this before.
"Yes, well it is pretty cool. But, that's not the only thing… There are consequences." I said as casually as possible. Andrea was up and next to me in a second. Before I could say anything else though, Edward spoke, for the first time in a while, with what looked like concern in his eyes.
"What consequences?" he said in a deadly calm voice, although his eyes betrayed him. I raised my eyebrows at him, successfully hiding what I was really feeling… Hurt, anger and love? Yes, I was definitely feeling love, although there was no way I was gonna admit it until I had gotten what I wanted, and that was for Edward to go through what I had been through, for him to gain my forgiveness and not for me just to give it to him. That would just be too easy. I smiled slowly and then turned to Andrea, without answering him.
"Well, I can answer to that!" Exclaimed Andrea, as if sensing that I didn't want to talk. The group nodded and then sat back down on the various couches around the room.
" As Bella said, she can access the Internet and her brain is like a computer and all, but of course like a computer, she needs a source of energy. And, well, she can use her own energy but, even if she is vampire it takes up a lot of energy and if she uses it for too long she goes into a comatose state, awake of course, while she regains energy, which is really annoying cause she can stay like that for up to a week. So we figured out two years ago that if we connect our powers together, as in my undying source of energy and her computer like mind, it's better for her and she doesn't go into the comma state. When we are connected, well we can pretty much hack into anything, as Bella pointed out earlier, although it's a hundred times faster and well when we are connected we basically are the governments worst enemy cause we can get all their most important and protected information in the blink of an eye." Andrea said in one long breath. I looked at everyone in the room gravely and added:
"Basically, if we ever get caught or anything we are in serious trouble!"
Three hours later we were still in the Cullens' living room, although Carlisle had arrived and Victoire as well as Arthur had been invited over. We had stopped talking about me and we're just talking about random stuff when all of a sudden Andrea's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and smiled happily, picked up jovially and then listened to whatever the person was saying. Of course we could all hear what was being said but we all pretended we couldn't hear. I watched as her face went from not a single care in the world to heartbroken to scared to sad and to desperate. We could all hear what had happened and so when she hung up we didn't even bother to ask what was wrong. I was up and hugging Andrea for dear life as she sobbed, one of the rare times she did, into my shoulder and then as quickly as she had started sobbing she was out of the room and running to her car, I followed, as did everyone else and then we were all separated in different cars and we're speeding off towards the hospital.
As well I'm really sorry it's sooooooooo short!
Please review!
