On a High Note (A Twilight Fan fiction)

The Cullens home

Author note: anything in italics is Revers thoughts. Enjoy!

The Cullen's started walking away from the fire. Two of the boys were laughing and rough housing with each other, proud of this major achievement. I turned around nervous to leave. What about Riley? He'll come looking for me.

"He won't be looking for you,"

I turned toward the Cullen's again to find that it was Edward talking. He can hear my thoughts?

"One of the wolves took care of him. Your free of him, so don't worry."

I sighed in relief and ran to catch up with the Cullen's. I followed them until I saw a sizable elegant home with tons of glass windows giving it a open concept. The home was surrounded by a mass of trees with a forest nearby. I stared in awe at the exquisite design as they led me inside and into the living area. Carlisle gestured for me to sit down.

"Since your apart of the family now it's only fair that we get to know you if that's alright? Since you don't want to talk Edward here will translate."

I frowned how I wished I could talk... I nodded to Carlisle and allowed him to continue. But deep down I knew I couldn't stay.

"What's your name?"

Edward looked at me and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Her name is Rever. It wasn't her human name, her human name she doesn't remember. Riley named her after her gift."

Carlisle nodded, "do you mind telling us your gift?"

I winced a little and looked at Edward. I could tell he didn't like what he was seeing since his face was all scrunched up. He was seeing the first time I used my powers. How I massacred tons of vampires just by trying to speak.

Edward looked at his family, "her power, it's hard to explain. When she woke up from her transformation all she did was open her mouth and a very high pitched scream came out. High enough to massacre tons of vampires." Edward looked at me, "I can see why Riley called you Rever. You're very powerful and very dangerous."

Carlisle came to a realization,
         "it's not that you don't want to talk, you just can't because it's dangerous. I understand now. I apologize for the assumption."

I nodded to both Edward and Carlisle in agreement. I looked around at everyone in the room. I've never felt so much love and warmth from a group of vampires in my short existence in this life. I finally noticed the same human girl that was at the clearing, her hand resting in Edwards. The love, the warmth, It's refreshing. But seeing them hold hands it didn't make me feel happy for the group of vampires, for some reason my stomach twisted just looking at them. Sighing in confusion of this new emotion, I stood and came to a conclusion that I new I made before I came here with them.

Carlisle looked at me in question, "Edward what is she saying?"

Edward continued to look at me in concentration, "I don't know it's like shes putting up this barrier, I can't read her right now."

I smiled at him knowingly my eyes twinkling as I walked over to the door. I bowed my head at all of them then turned to face Edward letting him pass the barrier in my mind,

"You just witnessed the sound barrier of my mind it's something I can control easily. I can feel it, their in my head. I can feel the pull as I pull it up or the snap of it going up instantly. One day, when I was with the newborn army, I wanted to drown out the animalistic sounds of murder. Next thing I knew it happened. I felt this pull in my head and then I couldn't hear. After experimenting and trying to gain control over It, I found that if I pulled the barrier over the Temporal lobes of my brain I wouldn't hear. My other senses remained in tact like I was telling my Brain what I needed. Pretty cool isn't it? I smiled at Edward and suppressed giggles

"Damn it what is she saying!"

I snapped my head to look across the room and looked straight at Emmett and smiled at him sadly. They'll never hear me. Only Edward and I will truly be able to communicate but I can't put that burden on him.

"She was telling me about the sound barrier in her mind. It's very interesting. It's the one thing she can control. If she pulls the barrier over a certain part of her brain and thinks what she wants to do the barrier does it. Which is why I couldn't read her for a moment." Edward was looking at the others when he said this.

"How fascinating!" Carlisle smiled at me, "you have quite the gift it seems."

I frowned at him my lips going into a straight line, my eyes burning with anger and pain. I wouldn't call this a gift, it's a curse.

I realized that I must look a bit scary and softened my features. Smiling at each of them I thought to Edward,
           
             Please tell them that I'm grateful they saved my life but I won't put your family in danger. I'm a ticking time bomb. Who knows when I could go off. 

With that I turned and opened the door and walked out. I could hear the shouts of "what's going on?" "Where is she going?" But I didn't stop. I made my way into the forest. The trees concealing me from the Cullen home. A minute passed and that's when I felt a presence approaching, then a hand was on my shoulder.

"Wait, where are you going?"

I turned around to see Edward. His bronze hair tousled after his run. I looked him in the eyes and was about to tell him through my thoughts when the wind picked up. My golden locks was being tossed around as if they were dancing. I smiled to myself and enjoyed the breeze. Something I would do as a human. I closed my eyes and took in all the sounds. Leaves swaying in the trees and brushing against each other, two squirrels scampering across the dirt the tiny sound of their paws pitter pattering; their hearts beating erotically, rushing water from a river near by. This moment pulled me into peace. When the wind picked up I allowed myself to breathe. I smelled many scents. Many good and many bad, but, the most delicious and alluring scent stood right in front of me.

Edward Cullen.

I snapped my eyes open forgetting that he was still standing in front me. If I could blush from embarrassment I would. I watched as he took in a breath as well and froze. Vampires are already rock solid and stiff but I've never seen one become so stiff before. We stared at each other our bodies tense. For some reason my instinct was to immediately hug him and kiss him but I refrained from doing so. My brows furrowed in confusion. I gently stepped closer to Edward to confirm if the scent was him. He remained stiff but watched my movements. Once I got closer I took in a breath and closed my eyes practically purring in content. Snapping my eyes open they stared upon honey gold eyes. I quickly sped away from him not realizing that in my trance I moved even closer to him. Too close for comfort. Pulling myself out of my trance like State, I put my face into a stoic expression remembering that he asked me a question before I started sniffing him like some dog. Again I'd blush if I could. Looking him in the eye I I noticed he has not moved a inch, seems like he stopped breathing too. Do I smell bad? I hope not. Shaking my head I let him into my mind once more,

"Please tell your family that I'll be forever thankful for what they did for me, I owe them my life. I must leave now. I don't want to put you or your family in danger. I don't want to be a burden to you. Thank you again. Goodbye."

I sprinted off into the forest after I told him my goodbye. This parting of ways hurt the most.
