Hey! Sorry I took so long to post! Enjoy!!!!!!!!! :)
Chapter 9:
Edward's POV
Everyone's eyes were glued on me. They didn't know if I was going to be able to control myself. It was hard, but I did. Carlisle was the first to speak.
"Edward?" He asked. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." I said. Controlling my voice was hard at the moment.
"Then let's go get her." Emmett said.
"Emmett, control yourself." Carlisle said. "Edward, what does she want?" He asked.
"She wants Bella. She was watching when I changed Bella. I was too concentrated to notice." I said.
"Why would she want Bella?" Esme gasped.
"When I killed James, I was not focused on her thoughts, and apparently he was her mate. She thought it would be fair, mate for mate. She also began to think of Bella as "the other woman" when he was so focused on her. She has become a little delusional because of that and is going insane." I said. There was anger present in my voice.
"Edward please calm down." Bella said. I could hear worry in her voice. Bella shouldn't have to worry. Nothing will happen to her.
"Don't worry, Bella. She won't hurt you." I growled.
"I'm not worried about me, I am worried about you." She said.
"Of course you are." I said. This was so typically Bella. No sense of self preservation.
"Don't worry about me either. I'll be fine." I told her.
"What are we going to do about this?" Carlisle asked.
"Well I think we are going to have to kill her." I said.
"No! Can't we just leave it. If she gets to me, I'll take care of myself. I am more durable now!" Bella was almost yelling. She doesn't like people making a fuss over her and she knows that Carlisle hates the thought of killing another creature.
"Bella. I can't do that." I whispered.
"Yes you can. Just lets all pretend that she doesn't exist. I can do it. You all can do it!" She said.
"Bella, be reasonable." Carlisle said.
"Yeah Bella! Nothing will happen to us." Emmett said.
"Bella, you are stressing yourself over nothing, dear." Esme said.
"Eight to one, Bella. Think about it." Jasper said.
"No!" I roared. "She will not be a part of it!"
"Edward, if I am going to have to let you all be apart of it, I will be in it too!" Bella said.
"No!" I said.
"Now you are being unreasonable, Edward." Carlisle said. How am I being unreasonable? Bella is a young vampire. She is going to get herself hurt. I can't let her. I can't.
"Bella is willing to compromise and you have to start the argument all over again." Alice said. She was clearly annoyed.
"No. No. No. No. NO!" I said. I will not change my mind. I will not give in.
"I am going and it is final Edward." Bella said. "You don't have the option of tying me to a tree anymore, so you can't stop me." She whispered.
It was true. There was nothing I could do to stop her. She was stronger than me at the moment. But I still have to argue my point.
"No, Bella. I don't know what I can do, but you are not going." I said.
Just then, Bella finally blew her top. She got so angry that she punched her fist straight through a tree.
Then she yelled, "YES I AM GOING EDWARD!"
A strange feeling came over me and I couldn't stop from changing my thoughts. What is going on? How did that happen?
"Okay." I gasped. I tried not to let the word go through but I coudn't stop it.
After the strange feeling was gone, I could speak.
"How did that happen?" I said.
"How did what happen?" Carlisle asked.
"I was so focused on not letting her go and then all of a sudden, a cloud of feeling swept over me and made me say okay." I said. I was extremely confused.
"Ahhh... I see. I think Bella may have a gift." He said.
"You...you think Bella did that?" I asked hestitantly.
"Yes. I have seen a similar gift before. Chelsea, of the Volturi, can change people thoughts on wanting to join or not. But only slightly." He said. "Bella? What happened when you got mad?" He asked her.
"Well, I got so angry and all I could think was, 'just let me go Edward!'. I kind of mentally pushed that thought to him and I guess it is my gift." She said.
"Yay! Bella has a gift!" Alice squeaked!
"Do you mind trying again, Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"Ummm... okay?" She said. She shouldn't be pressured into it.
"You don't have to Bella." I quickly added.
"No. I should learn how to use it before we find Victoria." She said. I growled.
"Ok Bella." Carlisle said. "Let's see. Try to convince me into eating human food."
"Okay." She said.
Bella's POV
I concentrated hard on hating that he wouldn't eat human food. I pushed the thought at him. Almost there. I could see it streching out to him. Two more feet. Ahh... yes it is there.
"Wow!" Carlisle said. "I can feel it. I am going to go try some. Could you please stop me, Bella?"
He began to walk to the house. I pulled the thought from him and he walked back over.
"Bella. You can munipulate people's movement too." He said.
"Thanks for not making me eat it." He replied.
"No prob." I said. I was so happy. I am special. I have a gift like Alice and Jasper and Edward. Oh poor Edward. I manipulated him into letting me go. I feel evil for it.
"If you can push your thoughts on people, I wonder if you can shield them too." Carlisle said.
"Edward, try to read Alice's thoughts and Bella try to shield them." He said. Alice stood still and Jasper moved away.
I closed my eyes and pushed my feeling shield outward. I could feel its streching. Trying to hold on to me. My personal shield. That is why Edward can't read my thoughts. I pushed it over to Alice. I opened my eyes and I knew it had worked, because of the shocked look on Edward's face.
"Bella, you did it." Edward said.
At that moment, Jasper went back to stand by Alice. As he reached out to grab her, he was knocked back. He tried again.
"What is going on?" Jasper asked. "Alice? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She replied.
"I think Bella's shield protects physical attacks too." Carlisle answered everyone's confusion.
"Wow, Bella! You have like a super gift." Emmett laughed.
"Bella, can you pull back, please? I want to hug Jasper." Alice asked politely.
"Let's see if Bella can physically shield herself." Carlisle said. "Emmett try to grab Bella."
"Okay, look out shorty, here I come." Emmett shouted.
He ran straight at me, but as soon as he reached out to grab me, he was flung back into the forest. He ran back.
"She threw me two miles out." He said shocked.
"Sorry, Emmett." I said sincerely.
"That's okay, shortie. I'll getcha.
"Ha! You wish!" I teased.
"I can help you with that Emmett." A very familiar voice replied. I froze. Looks like I wouldn't have much practice time. Everyone's eyes turned to the side of the house. Edward growled.
"Hello again everyone." The voice said. "Miss me?"
