Crash

We held each other in peace for what felt like millions of blissful hours. We held each other close, not letting the other stray from the other. I could stay like that forever. In the arms of someone I loved. And now I knew he loved me as well. We could be together forever.

The feeling of each others presence made electric eels move through us. I felt it but did he? It could just be my imagination. But I did feel it. It felt as though the eels were tying us together even closer. The shock was pleasant but I had never felt it before.

I looked in the sky to see the darkness filling the sky. We would have to go back and the others were probably wondering where we were.

"I think we should head back now. It's getting late." I said to Edward, my love, as the sun set in the woods. The colors danced across the sky in rainbows of color. I swear music was in my ears. A humming of a lullaby was in my ears and I realized Edward was humming a song. It was peaceful and sweet. It was slow but I loved it.

Edward nodded reluctantly and he twisted me around and held my hand. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

"I love you..." He said and looked deeply into my eyes. The gold depths of his eyes were like topaz pools. You could drown in them and still be happy. They made me feel safe and happy.

"I love you." I said in a soft voice. We could repeat it if we wished forever. I looked into his eye and looked at him quizzically and he knew what I meant. It was time to leave for the house. I guess I could call it my house now because I did live there but it still didn't feel right.

We headed toward it in a ‘slow' vampire pace, if that's even possible, and reached the lake. We leaped together, with our fingers locked together tightly, gracefully. It felt safe to be in his arms.

We reached the house in a matter of seconds. The mansion came into sight. If I were still human this would all be so over whelming. But with my new enhanced senses, it only felt natural and instinctive.

When we got to the door Esme was standing there with a heartwarming smile on her face. Her eyes were bright and cheerful. The happiness was plain in her face. You could tell right away that she was so happy. She was a motherly person from the looks of it.

"Yes, we are together, I guess you could say." Edward said out-of-the-blue. By the looks of it, they were having a mental conversation. I had learned earlier in the day about the Cullens' powers. I learned that only Edward, Jasper and Alice had powers but I did too so they had many powerful people in their group.

Esme looked at me and her smile brightened. She rushed to me and hugged me. It was warm and comfortable to be in someone's arms like a mother's. My mother had always been at work when I was human so she wasn't there to hold me when I was sad. No, Phil was there to torture me instead.

"Bella, is anything wrong?" Edward asked. Concern was deep in his eyes and Esme looked at me curiously but worriedly.

"No," I shook my head as I said that. "I was just remembering my time with my mom and how warm her hugs were when she did hug me. You remind me of my mom, Esme." I told her. She looked even more cheerful then.

"Human memories? You shouldn't be able to remember them that vividly. I wonder..." Edward said and trailed off. He looked deep in thought and I looked at Esme. She raised an eyebrow at her ‘son' and just shook her head slightly.

"Sometimes, he can be so much like Carlisle." She said chuckling lightly. It was a soft musical tone like beautiful wind chimes.

"Come. Let's go in inside and we can talk in there." Esme said to Edward and I. Edward followed along with me trailing behind.

"Carlisle," Edward said. He said it in a soft tone that I knew Carlisle would hear. In a matter of seconds, no, less then that, Carlisle was at the couch.

"Yes Edward?" He said. The look on his face said curiosity. Edward sat down on a couch and began to talk in a relaxed tone.

"Bella says she can remember her human life. All of it. The way she described her mother was a way that sounded very descriptive. "Edward said. Carlisle smiled.

"I see you have become close. Well, I forgot to mention one thing to you earlier today." Carlisle began. Edward interrupted before Carlisle could continue.

"Yes we are tighter. What did you forget to mention?" Edward asked. The smile on his face showed happiness that we were together. He squeezed my hand lightly.

"Well, the reason you cannot hear her thoughts is because she can control thoughts. So it is like yours but more powerful meaning she can hear and control them. That would be why you can't hear hers. The reason she can remember is because of her powers as well." Edward looked confused ever so slightly. I was staring at Carlisle intently. I was listening to the explanations given.

"Because she hears thoughts and controls the, for some reason, it allows her to remember her thoughts. That is another reason why she is lucky to have one of those powers. The Volturi have been looking for one everywhere. It would make their job a lot easier. So we must keep Bella's power a secret. As well as yours and Alice's as well." Carlisle said.

At that moment, the doorbell rang and Carlisle went to get it. Alice rushed down and started to say ‘stop!' but was too late by the looks of it.

Three men walked into the room. All three had papery skin, two had black hair and one had silvery white hair. They all had red eyes. Following them was a young girl and boy that looked the same.

"Carlisle, I haven't seen you forever. We've been in the city and we thought we should check how things are doing. How have you been doing? How's your famil..." He looked at me and didn't take his eyes off me. In fact, all of them were looking really excited at the moment.

"My, my, what have we here?" He said and wandered over to me and placed a hand on my cheek.
