Chapter 14
The girls came back very late that evening. No doubt they would have stayed out later had the shops not all closed by nine. Alice was positively bouncing when she pranced into the room. Rosalie rolled her eyes at Alice and came in with Esme.
"Bella, you are totally going to love the dresses we looked at." Alice exclaimed.
"Actually I have pretty exciting news for you guys as well." I told them all. I heard the Jeep pull up with Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle. They were in the door in a second.
"What did you want to tell us Bella?" Esme questioned me.
"I think we figured out what Bella's new power is." Edward smiled and got up from the piano bench he was still on.
"Is that right?" Carlisle asked. "What do you think it is?"
"I think I can tell what a song was written about." I told him.
"What do you mean? Like you know the composers motivation for a song?" Carlisle questioned.
"Yes, I think I do. Edward, play a song." Edward sat back down on the piano bench and started to play a song I hadn't heard yet. Almost immediately I was submerged in a vision of wildflowers and dancing leaves that looked like fairies. Edward finished and I came back to reality.
"What was that song about, Bella?" Carlisle asked me.
"The composer's motivation was a meadow that seemed unreal to him and almost magical." I told him.
"That's incredible, Bella!" Alice exclaimed. "You kind of know what it's like to have a vision now."
"Yeah, I guess I do." I laughed at her hyper activity. Her day must have gone from great to awesome.
Edward chuckled behind me and I guessed her thoughts were confirming my suspicions.
"What an interesting talent?" Carlisle muttered to himself. I could practically see the wheels spinning. I knew he would puzzle over this for quite a while. I decided to let him ponder it by himself.
"So, you guys find some stuff you liked?" I asked Alice, Esme, and Rosalie.
"Oh, I almost forgot about that. We found some gorgeous dresses but we forgot to ask when we were here, what theme colors?" Esme said.
I looked at Edward and he smiled.
"Red and black." He said automatically. One of the things we had talked about at the cottage was the theme for the wedding. We agreed that old gothic vampires would be awesome, if not slightly ironic.
"Interesting." Rosalie smirked and rolled her eyes. I was just glad she was done being a witch with a capital B.
Edward laughed and nodded at Rosalie. I could only assume that her thoughts showed that she made the connection.
"What a rip off of a power." Emmett laughed, completely oblivious to our conversation. "I had hoped it would be something more like her. Like super clumsiness."
Everyone stopped and laughed. That did sound like the old me.
"If we were going on stuff like that, you would probably have super dorkiness." Rosalie laughed at her husband.
"Who says I don't? And you would have super conceitedness." He purred in her ear.
She slapped him gently then giggled.
"I don't know which is worse, Edward," I whispered in his ear, "my old family or my new family."
He laughed and hissed my forehead.
"Your new family." He smiled.
"I heard that Edward." Alice shouted at us.
"Good." He smirked.
