Chapter three - Power.

Carlisle decided that since I didn't seem as bloodthirsty as a normal newborn, it might be safe to introduce me to Nessie and Jake. They and Rose were waiting in the lounge when we entered, and Rose looked like she was about to have a heart attack when I came in.

"You brought her here? Carlisle, she could kill them!"

Carlisle looked like he was about to say something, but I spoke first,

"So could any vamp, but I promise that if I feel like I'm going to attack anyone I will say and try to run away, Ok?" Boy, that was a lot of rhymes, but she seems to trust me, or at least put up with me, so she harrumphs and moves away. That's when I see them.

Nessie and Jake.

She looks barely younger than me, certainly no less than twelve, probably closer to fourteen, which was most definitely not what I'd thought. "She's going to be four in September, but she doesn't look it, does she?" Carlisle says with a smile. Jake's lounging next to Nessie on the sofa, but he looks ready to shift at any moment – probably ready to protect her. She gets up and walks towards me, but Jake quickly stops her. I see her mutter something in his ear, but it was too low for me to hear, and he seems to resign to just following her up to me. I'd stopped breathing a while ago, but that doesn't stop her scent winding its way up my nostrils. Luckily it's soon masked by the scent of Jake, which, although unpleasant, at least calms me down a little.

She reaches up and touches my face, while saying, "This is Bella, my mum." And I can see her, every detail of her vampiric form. She's beautiful. Of course, Nessie wouldn't know what she was like before the transformation, so I can only guess at that. Then the image changes, two of the Volturi slipping into the house through Bella's window. Through the drapery of Renesmee's bed, I can see them grab Bella as she looks away, walking towards the door of the room.

"I thought it was our coven, that they were playing a game, so I didn't call out to anyone. I didn't think that they were…"

Carlisle speaks up to cover Renesmee's sudden silence, "She was only one and a half at the time, though physically she seemed about eight. She wouldn't have known."

I reached my hand out to her, felt her warm skin again, and tried to copy her power. I showed her a picture of my house, and my dog running around madly.

"This is where I come from, do you like it?"

She nods, and wipes away a tear that has gathered on her face.

"Was that a dog?"

"Yup."

"Grandpa, can we get a dog now? Bella won't kill it if it's mine, will she?"

"I'm not sure, Ness, they're a lot of work… It needs walking, and poop picking, and…"

"Actually, it doesn't sound so fun anymore. And I'm tired. Night." She walked over and flopped out on the couch, with Jake watching over her.

It was now night time, and Alice called me up to her room.

"Now, I just want to see if you can copy my power, so, um, I'm going to look about thirty seconds into the future, and I need you to try to focus on me, see if there's anything you can feel or see or whatever."

Her eyes focused a little and I saw a pale pink mist dissipate from around her, onto me, but although it was extending towards me, it looked like it was travelling toward her, and as we got closer to the thirty second mark it became more intense, moving to a hot pink colour. She'd already stopped looking into the future, but the mist was still there, and it still seemed to be flowing back to her from around my body, except… disappearing. It's like it was travelling back in time from this point. I concentrate on one bit of mist, like I'm trying to unravel its secrets, and then I do. I feel the raw power of it in my mind, ready to be used. And then the rest of the mist just vanishes, which I guess makes sense if she didn't see further than this point. As I don't know how to do timeframes yet, I just kind of tell the power to 'show me what I will be doing in thirty seconds'. So it does, and I see me telling her that it worked, and how it did, which takes all of twenty seconds to say. I breathe for a few seconds, before telling her what I just saw myself telling her. About how I copied it, and how it just worked, even though I had no real clue of how it knew what distance to travel.

She soon got me to do the same with jasper, though his was like a soft coloured light, blue for calm, yellow for happy, things like that, and it was fairly easy to copy. While we were checking that it had worked, Alice went to tell Carlisle what my skill was. He seemed a little surprised, but then he seemed to figure out another test for me.

"So far you've been copying, but it seems as if you have had to figure it out for yourself, so I was thinking that you might be able to… make a new power for yourself."

I was speechless. If this was true, then I'd be able to do whatever was in the limits of my imagination.

"Now, of course, it'll be harder to create than to copy, but I think you can do it."

So I did. I focused on a rock, and, as most of the powers seemed to be colour based, I created an orange (don't ask me why, it just felt right) liquidy substance, of course only visible to my mind, as no-one else seemed to see it, which flowed out and connected to the rock. I thought about pushing the rock upwards, and it started levitating. I let it back down again, amazed with my ability, and stored the orange power away under 'telekinesis', which it basically just moving objects with the mind. After, just to see if I would have to imagine the power every time I needed to use it, I switched Edward's mind reading back on. I didn't see any pulsing, twisting turquoise lights this time, but I could still hear the thoughts. Esme was wondering what was so special about me, as with everyone who knew rushing around me no-one had thought to tell her. Or Rosalie, Emmett or Jake, but Renesmee had probably guessed. I soon turned off my telepathy though, as Edward was moping around and being depressed, which would not help my mood, as I am so easily influenced by others.

Just to see if the telekinesis needed my orange liquid to work, I told myself to raise a slightly larger rock. And it just rose into the air. I lowered it back down again, slowly. I was stunned. So was everyone else by the looks of it.

Then Alice had a vision.
