I march over to my family. I was still annoyed but there was little I could do about it. I walk over and stop next to Alex. I look at everyone. Everything is silent.
"What?" Did I scare them?
Alex shakes his head. "Nothing. I just have never seen anything like that before."
"Oh. Is that a bad thing?" I ask.
He quickly shakes his head. "No. You are extraordinary. You really are something Sophie Cullen." I smile at him and give him a kiss.
We stop when Emmett starts coughing. "Do you two have to do that in front of us?" I look at him and narrow my eyes.
"You're one to talk. You and Rosalie couldn't keep your hands off each other. Mom and dad had to constantly take me out on trips to get me away from the two of you."
"Ah. Nova Scotia. That was a fun trip." I smile at the new voice. I was wondering when I would see him. Edward walks outside with Bella and Rosalie trailing behind him. I smile at him brightly.
"Until I fell on some ice and nearly fell into the cold water. You freaked out. Wouldn't let me go anywhere alone." The both of us laugh and I enveloped him into a hug.
"You scared me. I thought that we lost you." I pull away and smile at him.
"I'm fine. You have to try harder than that to get rid of me."
"Never," he says.
My eyes flicker to Bella. She looks similar to me. Red eyes, pale marble skin, rich brown hair. The both of us look like us but we look different at the same time.
"Hey Bells." She smiles and hugs me.
"Hey. So the two of us survived," she says.
"Barely," I hear Jasper say. I roll my eyes.
"Still." I give him a look before turning back to Bella. "We survived," I agree. "How long have you been awake?"
"Not too long. A couple of hours maybe. I'm told that you woke up thirty minutes to an hour after I woke up." I nod.
My gaze flickers to Rosalie who smile at me in happiness. She was happy that I survived this. My eyes travel down and I notice a little girl wrapped in her arms.
Renesmee. She was a perfect mix of Edward and Bella. She had Edwards hair. It was bronze and growing into curls. She also had brown eyes. "That's Renesmee?"
Bella smiles and nods. She walks away from me and carefully takes her out of Rosalie's arms. "Amazing isn't she." Bella says. She turns by doesn't move. Keeping a small distance.
Part of me wanted to hold her. "Can I come closer?" Bella looks at me in worry. "I didn't try anything with the twins. I don't even have to hold her," I say. "I'll be careful. Promise."
Bella finally nods. I slowly take some steps before stopping in front of Bella and Edward's daughter. I smile. I had a niece. Renesmee's brown eyes look up at me and smiles. She raises her hand up. I carefully lean down to take her little hand to hold onto one of my fingers. I still as her hand goes past my fingers and stops at the side of my face.
She places her hand on my cheek and I see flashes of images. I see her growing in Bella's womb. I see Bella giving birth to her and Bella holding Renesmee in her arms before she goes still. I notice how she was being taken care of by Rosalie. I witness her being around Ellie and Xander. I could tell that the three of them got along great. They enjoyed each others company. I watched the three of them growing bigger and bigger by the day. It was astounding.
I knew that she would have this power but experiencing it first hand was completely new. I only read about it and watched it in the movie. This was a whole new experience. I slowly take my head away and Renesmee takes her hand off of my cheek.
I looked at her in wonder. "Amazing," I whisper.
"You knew about this," accuses Bella playfully.
"What can I say," I smile cheekily. "I thought it would be fun to surprise you." She smiles at me and shakes her head.
I look back down at Renesmee. "I can't believe how big she's grown. She's the same size as Xander and Ellie. Have you met them yet?" I look at Bella as she shakes her head.
"Not yet. I got to hold Renesmee and then had to deal with a certain situation," she says while grimacing.
"You too huh?" Her eyes widen.
"Who?"
I growl and roll my eyes. "Paul imprinted on Ellie. We had a little chat."
"A little? You threw a tree at him," laughs Emmett.
"Wait. You did what?" questions Edward.
I sigh and go back to Alex. "I may have figured out more about my gift."
Edward narrows his eyes. "And?"
My eyes flicker around me. "I may have caught the scent of a hiker on my first hunt. Ran up onto a cliff edge. Alex tried to stop me but the energy I had when I was human knocked him off without me touching him. I saw reason after I heard him crash down below. He had to help me get out of there. Came back to the house to find out that I'm a physical shield with telekinetic abilities. Basically I can shield myself from certain powers and throw energy to keep people away from me. Also, I can control things with my mind. I got mad when I found out about Paul and threw a tree at him with my mind. I thought about throwing a tree at him and then it happened. Not my proudest moment," I say while shrugging.
"It was amazing," interjects Emmett. "Remind me to never piss you off," I laugh at his comment.
"You should tell that to my daughter," I tell him.
If a vampire could go pale, he would be looking like a ghost right about now. I crack a smile.
"You should have seen Bella with Jacob. It was amazing," says Edward.
"If you ever need something thrown at him just let me know. I am at your service," I tell them while giving them a mock curtsy.
Everyone started to laugh. Alex pulls me up and spins me around into his chest. I look into his amber eyes.
"I love you," he tells me. I'm about to reply when I hear a certain shriek. I whirl around towards Kate and already have my arms prepared. Sure enough, my son lands into my arms.
I huff and stare at him. "You've got to stop doing that. What if you accidentally got hurt." Xander looks at me and giggles in glee. He wasn't going to stop. I have a pretty good idea on who was the active baby when I was pregnant.
"What was that?" questions Bella. Oh right. She hasn't met them yet.
"Oh. Bella this is Xander. This little rascal can teleport."
"Talk about a handful," chimes in Edward. Bella's eyes are wide.
"Oh, wow."
"What's the little nightmare doing now?" I growl at the new voice and glare at Paul.
"He is not a nightmare mutt."
"I actually think you have the wrong twin in mind. It's actually the opposite." Emmett just finishes his sentence when he goes completely rigid. His eyes look glazed over and his expression turns panicked. "Ok. Ok. I'm sorry!"
I turn around to see Ellie concentrating her attention on Emmett. "Els. Let him go sweetie." Ellie's attention goes from Emmett to me.
Sorry mommy. I smile at her.
"It's ok," I tell her. I turn to Bella and laugh at her expression.
"Ellie here can project her thoughts and read your thoughts while she's at it. You can basically have a private conversation with her. She can also create the illusion of you living your worst nightmare. Was it the bear mauling you again, Emmett?"
"Yeah, but this time it was two bears."
I chuckle and walk over with Xander to Irina who is still holding Ellie. I smile at her adoringly.
"Would you like to meet them Bella? From what Renesmee showed me, the three little ones are already great friends."
Bella walks over towards me. She stops beside me and holds Renesmee in her arms. "Wow. They are the same size." I witness Bella jerking her head to Ellie.
"Oh. It's nice to meet you too," she says as Edward starts laughing.
"Amazing, aren't they."
She nods at my response.
"Edward. When were you going to tell us that Bella was a shield as well?" I smile as Eleazer talks.
"What did you call my wife?" asks Edward.
Bella furrows her eyebrows. "A what?" Bella turns and hands her daughter to Rosalie.
"You're a shield. Kind of like Sophie. While she's physical, you're a mental shield. Certain powers such as ones that relate to the mind or cause physical harm will not hurt you," he explains.
"Of course," says Edward. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?"
Kate suddenly appears next to Bella and grabs her arm. "Yep. She's a shield alright. That should have knocked her on her ass." Bella looks at her perplexed.
I turn and give Xander to Alex. "Kate can create psychic electrical currents on her skin. She can basically shock you with one touch." I walk over to her and wiggle my fingers at her. "Want to do that test of yours again?"
"Test?" I hear Bella say.
"We could never figure out why Edward or Aro's power never worked on me. Kate was curious and would try to use her power on me when I was human."
"You did what!" Yells Alex. Oops. I guess no one ever told him.
"Don't worry Alexander. It never worked," says Kate.
"Trust me. Rosalie already did plenty of yelling at her for it."
"Yeah. She nearly tore my arm off when she caught me doing it," Kate grumbles.
"You're lucky that I didn't tear your head off," grumbles Rosalie. I ignore Alex's further protests.
"So. What do you say?" I ask her.
She stares at me and smirks. "Sure."
I hold my hand out to her and wait for her to touch my hand.
She pauses and then reaches out towards me. Her hand touches mine. Nothing happens at first. I then start to feel a little tickle in my hand. It soon turns into an itch that travels up my arm. I felt a small pinch when I felt something stir inside me. I felt a heat form in my belly before it traveled down to my toes and up to my arm. I didn't feel anything else as the energy formed into a ball and released itself outside of me. A pale white energy burst out and slammed into Kate.
It sent her flying into the forest and I heard a small thud as she landed in the distance. I giggled in delight as I heard her groan. I spin around and make my way to my boyfriend.
He looks at me in awe.
"How was that?"
"Brilliant. You are extraordinary." I smile at him as I hear small footsteps making their way back over to us.
I turn and see Kate walking towards while rubbing her head.
"Sorry Kate. Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Remind me to never piss you off."
"Sophie, did you feel anything?" asks Eleazer.
I pause and nod my head. "Yeah. At first I felt nothing and then my hand started to tickle. It started to itch before I felt a small pinch. That's when Kate flew away from me. Eleazer, why did I feel Kate's power now when I couldn't when I was human?"
Eleazer ponders in thought. "It seems that when you were growing up, you're gift was only manifesting. You're physical shield wasn't even formed yet. You were originally a mental shield. But as you got older, your shield started to change. When did you start to notice the changes?"
Memories of the past year flew through my mind. "Something happened when I was in the ballet studio with James. But I didn't think anything of it. It was when we were in Ithaca that we became aware of it. But it was only a floating vase. It wasn't until we went to Italy that this physical energy exploded out of me. It happened when Jane used her power on me. I could feel her power before the energy came out."
Eleazer nods in thought. "When was the last time that Kate tried her power on you?"
"Right before we moved to Forks. It was the day we were leaving. Before everything started happening."
"WHAT!" Screeches Rosalie.
Great. "Rose. I'm fine. This is why I didn't want you to find out about this in the first place."
I turn back to Eleazer but not before I saw the murderous glare that Alex was sending to Kate.
"It seems like when you came to Forks is when it started to change. You never noticed it because you weren't in danger at the time. It only came out as a defense mechanism."
"So, I basically never felt anything with Kate before because I was originally just a mental shield, correct? Then it transformed into a physical shield. Yet, I'm still mental when it comes to the mind. Such as mind reading and controlling people."
Eleazer gives me a smile. "Precisely."
Huh. A wail interrupts me out of my thoughts. I see Ellie crying while holding her arms out towards me.
"What's wrong? What does she want?" a stressed out Paul says.
"Sophie of course," responds Irina.
I gracefully glide over and take her into my arms.
Ellie stops crying and opens her green eyes to stare at me.
I love you mommy.
I smile at her.
"I love you too," I tell her.
I look around me and smile at my family. I couldn't get over that this was real and this was my life now. I loved my family and I would do anything to protect them.
Sorry for the late update. Life has been crazy lately. Just a little filler chapter. Hopefully, I can get the next couple of chapters updated and posted soon. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Until next time!
