After a ton of writers block with this story I finally finished this chapter. The story is going to move fast in the future chapters, so I can finish it and get everything in that I want to before it starts to drag on. Sorry for the wait and I don't need reviews but they are appreciated.

I work on this one the least when it comes to my writing. I have a fiction romance (original story and characters, not twilight or any other story based) that I have been writing for about a year now that I am so in love with!

And as you know I co-write with twimelodyflute on the story Love is Blind. That story is moving along nicely and I feel is close to a close.

MUCH NEEDED RE-CAP:

A smirk playing at the edge of his lips as he winks at me... he can read me? Oh... my.. god.

He has a gift... a gift resembling my fathers but in a strange way... its like he only just started to read me?

Head spinning in many directions, my brain feeling like a spinning top that a child just wont stop playing with.

Putting my right hand to rest on my temple. covering my view of the interesting vampire leaning on the banister.

Wondering why just now Leroy can read me. What does he know. What the hell is going on!

I will explain later...shhh...wouldn't want to freak out the rest of your family right now would you?

Swiftly yanking my eyes up to look at where the voice came from. Leroy again looking at me with that knowing look...

His concentration quickly turning back to dad and Emmett.

…...

Gasping at the car key and looking up at dad. Only to see full forgiveness and love. Biting my lip feeling so happy and excited that I still got the car!

I GOT MY OWN CAR!

"One condition... Make sure you don't abuse this privilege... Okay?" Dad smirks as I jump up to hug him.

"Ohh my gosh! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you SO much!" latching my arms around him in a tight hug.

Chapter:

Special Powers

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?" His eyes searching the forest ahead as he sniffs the breeze ahead of us.

"You know what." Glaring at his shoulder as I come up next to him, crouched down.

"I have not a clue of what you are referring to." A smirk playing at his lips.

"Leroy, you talked to me through your mind. How did you do that?"

"Just a power I have." He blows off my question as his head snaps forward and he launches himself over the dead tree and toward the smell of a bunch of deer.

I run after him and toward the deer.

Resting against the moist bark of a dead pine, Leroy sitting ten feet in front of me against another tree, we face each other.

"Why does my family not seem to notice this power? My dad, he can read everyones mind, aside from my mother's of course."

"Your mother isn't the only form of shield that exists."

"So you are an advanced shield, one that can communicate with other minds."

"Sure, you can call it that."

"But then why... Why does my dad not seem to notice your shield abilities?" Looking for his answer in his eyes and posture.

"I do not trust easily Renesmee, so I will tell you this in confidence, but will also block your knowledge around everyone else; and Edward, he sees what he wants to see. I feed off your mother's abilities to block him most of the time. I set a mask so that my mind reads but only what I want it too, like a filter. I am still perfecting my shield power, where as your mother is a natural. My main power is to mask thoughts for short periods of time, and I am working on my ability to use other's powers around me as my own."

"You are scared of my family?" I could see his uneasiness, and his worry of telling me, "You can trust them, they wont hurt you."

"No, I am afraid of other vampires knowing my power." his eyes find his shoes as he kicks lightly at the dirt below him.

"Italian Vampires." Knowing his worry and understanding it from our problems with them when I was young.

Without an answer he pushes himself from the ground and walks away. His silence is enough of an answer.

Pulling back into the garage from the hunt, I noticed, Leroy did not return to the house. Shutting the door of my car I could smell Jake's arrival.

"Hey Renesmee how was your hunt? You shouldn't go alone you know, I would have went with you if you'd asked." Jake pushes my bangs from my face to behind my ear.

"It was good and I am okay on my own. I don't want you to hunt with me I am uncomfortable with you seeing me like that."

"We used to hunt together all the time Renesmee."

"Well not anymore Jake, I don't want to, I just don't, it feels wrong."

"Okay," His arms snaking around my waist as he presses his lips to my forehead, "You shouldn't be afraid of hunting with me, but okay."

Pulling back and kissing his jaw, "I just need to be who I am Jake. I need to find myself, and we are together all the time."

"Is it your father and uncle saying these things." His hands dropping to his sides and stepping back.

"No, this is me not them, and even if it was them, they are trying to give me an open mind. I am only 9 but really I am 18, and will always be about 18. No matter how human I have been in the past I become more vampire everyday. You will age Jake, you've already started to."

"Am I interrupting something." Leroy's back is turned as he grabs a box from under the work bench.

"Yes." Jake's clipped tone responds before Leroy can even turn around.

"No." I shake my head and give him a small smile, while walking away from both of them.

"Why are we arguing?" Jake steps into the living room while I pick up the cover on the piano keys and start to play. Ignoring his question I continue to string through the keys like liquid flowing on a smooth surface. He steps around the bench and sits next to me, "Baby I love you, talk to me." he places his hand along my shoulder and pushes the hair out of my face.

Ending the song I glance at his face, his child-like eyes and the contours of his strong jaw make me want to melt into him. He ignores our problems though, I love being with him but I hate the frustration of not being accepted. I mean, is not enough to feel like you don't even fully fit into your own family, but to be with someone who turns into an animal and has a pack that only partially accepts who you are.

"I just wish this, what we have, was easier." leaning into his chest, he wraps me in his arms.

"Me too. Take a walk with me? We could go down to the beach." Lifting my chin he pecks my lips with a kiss, then another.

sighing and pressing my nose to his neck, "That sounds nice."

Walking out of the house onto the porch, I can see Leroy is still by the garage working on his car. Rose and Emmett have joined him and are just goofing around. Emmett throws a hammer at Leroy as he ducks his head to miss the old tire Leroy chucks at him. Leroy catches the hammer before it can crack the window of Carlisle's new mercedes.

"Hey, me and Jake are going down to the beach. Let mom and dad know when they get back from hunting."

"Yeah, just be home before eight, I think Esme wants to do a family night; cards, board games, exedra " Rose calls back as she grabs Emmett's collar and tells him to grow up, while glaring at Leroy.

"Okay. Thanks."

To be a more normal couple we decide to take my car. Jake wants to drive of course, I don't mind, it is the least of my worries.

Because it is September the breeze today is slightly chilled. I grab my sweater and tug it around me as we step out of the car.

"I could keep you warm you know." Jake's eyes dance across my body making me a bite my lip to keep from melting.

"I prefer the sweater, thanks." giggling and pushing his white muscle shirt covered chest.

He shows a playful pout as he reaches for my hand, "The sweater winning? Now that's a blow to my pride."

"Haha, what ever," taking his hand and pressing my lips to one of his knuckles.

"So, catch anything good on the hunt today?"

"Yeah some dear, I think?"

"What? Your not sure if they were deer?"

"Well yeah I'm sure, hunting today just kind of blurred together, I don't remember the whole thing."

"You feeling okay?" He pushes our intertwined hands to my forehead to feel it.

"Jake you know I rarely get sick." playfully biting at his hand.

"Yeah you feel fine, maybe a little colder then usual but nothing to be worried about."

"Thanks doctor." smiling and releasing his hand to take off running (at human pace).

Catching me, I instantly meet with the sand, and roll onto my back.

Kissing each shoulder, then my nose before releasing my wrists.

"I love you Renesmee." Our eyes connect in a moment of silence, the only sound around us is the waves.

"I love you too," kissing his lips before stating his name.

Pulling me with him we sit side by side watching the waves.

"My sister is having a gathering next week end; come with me?"

"Maybe. Depends on the day." I can here my own hesitation in finding a good excuse.

"Why do I feel like the day has nothing to do with it?"

"I'm sorry, lets just talk about this later, its too nice out here to deal with this right now." Turning away and gazing at the birds picking at the rocks near the waters edge.

So a little knowledge and a little fluff. See you next chapter.
