Chapter 6: Explaining Ourselves
"So… it all began with meeting the Volturi." I announced. Get ready for the anger… and the punching, tearing, burning I told myself, prepare for the worst, that was what I had picked up on my years of travelling. I saw the ire perfectly portrayed on their faces, Carlisle remained calm, and I wondered why he wasn't easily phased by this?
"What?!" Jasper growled, along with the other males (sans Carlisle) in the coven… family. Tapping into Jasper's gift, I sent wave after soothing wave of calm over them.
"Yes, so we met the Volturi on our travels, and could you please listen to the next part without interrupting." Danny interceded, they nodded reluctantly, so I continued with our story.
"We were with the Volturi for two long, gruelling miserable years. They wanted to perfect us, their newest weapons that compared in power to Jane and Alec."
"Newest weapons? You are all gifted?" Bella asked, curiosity dripped in her question.
"Yes, the three of us. George can sense the gifts of others, I called him a 'gift seeker'. Dany… she is a little tougher to explain. I think it would be better if it came from her, huh Dany?" I casually queried.
"Fine." She huffed, "I have a unique gift… it only works on humans." Dany ended there to gauge the reaction of the Cullen family.
"How?"
"What?"
"What is this gift?" Carlisle questioned, prompting Dany to continue.
"I can bring out the strength of humans, before they transform, meaning that if or when they become like us… they will be gifted." She finished.
"So you could potentially give them new recruits?" Jasper interrogated. I could feel his anger building again, so I sent yet another calming veil over them.
"It would seem so, now that just leaves you?" Edward spoke as the family turned towards me.
"I, am a mirror." I simply stated.
"Good, now Blondie can just look at you and know if her hair is out of place." Jacob joked coldly, Rosalie growled menacingly at him.
"We will deal with this later mutt! Right now, we are dealing with these three." Rosalie spat at Jacob.
"A mirror?" Renesmee asked. The only way I could show them properly, was to utilize their own gifts. So I decided to mimic Edward's gift. A flood gate of thoughts opened up in my head.
I don't trust them. Rosalie thought.
More guys to fight with I guess, but Rose doesn't look too happy. I grinned at Emmet's errant thought.
George's power is quite similar to Eleazar's gift. Carlisle spoke mentally.
Ha! Blondie definitely got what she desired. I don't think they would hurt anyone, they do live the 'Cullen life'. And Nessie seems okay around them.
"Nessie? Eleazar? Who are they?" I asked curiously.
"Wait, you heard all that?" Jacob looked embarrassed about something, his being okay with us?
"You heard what we were thinking?" Carlisle wondered. I looked at their faces, all of them, and found that I couldn't read Bella's mind, so this is what being a shield meant.
"Yeah, I mirrored Edward's gift." I explained, "You wanted to know what a mirror is. I can utilize the gifts of others. You Carlisle, was thinking about how George's ability is similar to that of Eleazar's gift."
"Great! Another mind-reader!" Jacob joked.
"So you used Jasper's gift on us" Alice stated.
"Yes, I did. I'm sorry, but if I hadn't you would have done things that you probably would have regretted later." I explained. Alice didn't seem upset at that, she probably would have done the same if she was in my shoes.
"No wonder you three were taken in by the Volturi with gifts as great as yours!" Emmett stated as a matter-of-factly.
"I wouldn't have hurt you, not that Jake would have let me anywhere near you." Renesmee half-heartedly joked. I looked into her chocolate brown eyes, and saw nothing but sincerity and honesty.
"Sorry for intruding in on your family like this Renesmee." I apologized.
"That's okay, you three are like my family, you don't want to hurt humans, you are like us, well apart from Jake. You look like you honestly do want to be more like us, interactive in the human world." Her words touched our lifeless, cold hearts. She really understood what we wanted. Perhaps they wouldn't kill us after all. Edward broke me from my train of thought by saying, "We wouldn't do that you know, you are like us now."
"Wouldn't what?" Bella questioned, it looked like she was frustrated with the whole concept of the one way talking thing that Edward could do with his mind-reading.
"Antony was worried that we would kill him and his family." Edward explained in little detail, which was probably a good thing, because I was thinking more in-depth about that. Maybe he gave abridged version, to prevent hurting others. I saw him nod slightly, ever so slightly.
"You haven't given us a reason to dear, and I hardly think that we would have anyway, like Renesmee said, you are like us." Esme spoke like a mother, a true mother. Not that I could remember how motherly a mother is. I couldn't even remember my own mother.
Why don't you remember you mother? Edward thought.
I don't know why I can't remember. I don't think that I remember anything from my human life, it's all a blank to me. I replied with a sorrowful tenor, but I can't help that I don't remember my human life at all, maybe this was how it was meant to be, maybe horrible things happened to me in my past life, that I wanted to be rid of it all in this life, so I 'woke up' amnesiac.
You should speak with Alice. She was, or partially still is the same. She couldn't remember her past life, she couldn't even remember the change, which is supposed to be our most predominant memory. So like I said, talk to her, she understands more than anyone. Edward suggested.
"I will do." I spoke aloud, finally.
"No fair! Now you two can talk mentally and we won't even know what you are on about." Emmett whined, causing all of us, even Jasper, Rosalie and Jacob, to start laughing… A lot.
