Little Bella

Chapter 21

"What did I do?" I asked, dread in my voice.

"Oh, nothing... except that your writing is unbelievably advanced," Carlisle informed me. "Your writing was like that of a 8th grader. What grade are you in?"

"Uh, Grade 1?" I made it sound like a question.

"Wow," Jasper breathed.

"Bella?" a soft, feminine voice chimed.

I turned to the door, confused. It was Esme.

"Mommy!" I cried, jumping out of my chair and running toward her.

"Hey, sweetie," Esme hugged me tightly. "Is Bella still in 'school'?"

"Nope, she's done for today," Carlisle still seemed like he was in shock.

"What's the matter, Carlisle?" Esme asked, concerned.

"Oh, nothing."

"O...kay, then. Bella? Let's go make you some lunch."

I nodded and followed her obediently. Downstairs, Alice was waiting and holding a bowl of soup for me. It smelled so good my mouth started watering.

"Alice! I thought I told you I would make it!" Esme sighed at her.

"Sorry, but I saw that if I let you do it Bella would get too hungry," Alice smirked.

"Are you okay with this, Bella?" Esme turned to me.

"I guess? I never ate anything made by Alice yet so..." I trailed off.

Just then Carlisle walked into the kitchen, calling for Esme.

"Oh, I gotta go. See you, sweetie!" Esme kissed my forehead before disappearing with Carlisle.

"Alice, what was that about?" I asked Alice in my baby tone.

"I don't know, Belly. If I did, I'd answe-" she suddenly cut herself off and her eyes went blank.

"Alice? ALICE? ALICE?!" my voice edged higher into a hysterical tone.

Getting off my chair, I stumbled toward her and shook her arms. She didn't move, nor did the faraway look in her eyes disappear.

"ALICE!" I cried, worried.

Rosalie came running into the kitchen, her eyes wild. "What's the matter?"

I pointed at Alice.

She took one look at her and relaxed. "Oh, she's just having a vision."

"Vision?"

"Alice can see the future. It's her gift."

"Oh," I said. "Does anyone else in our family have gifts? I-I mean, y-y-you're all v-v-vampires, right?"

"Wait, I gotta ask Carlisle something. Be back in a sec," Rosalie told me before disappearing.

I just stood there, stunned, counting to ten.

"Okay," Rosalie suddenly spoke, standing in front of me again before I'd even reached eight. "Well, Jasper can feel and change other people's emotions. And Edward can read peo- well, you've gotta ask him that yourself. That answers your question?"

I nodded, deep in thought. I decided to go and see Edward after I finished my lunch.
