Meet your Match

Revelation

We didn't say anything but Carlisle finally pulled me and Sam off to the side.

"I think it is safe to assume Brianna developed some sort of abilities. Edward said he believes she can read minds as he can but ever since she spoke to Bella the other day he said he can't hear her, sort of like Bella's shield is being used, and we all saw what happened with Emmett yesterday, one of our friends who came as a witness had a son who could control basic elements in a way, Emmett was shoved away with air, I think Brianna may have developed powers but I can't be sure of what exactly until she trusts us enough to open up about what all happened."

"How long will that take?"

"Paul I honestly don't know, she may never want to speak about it."

"Oh my god." We all jerked hearing Bri gasp and ran. We saw her sitting on the couch crying next to Rennesme.

"Young lady, what happened?"

"I didn't mean to grandpa, we were talking and she asked what all happened while she was gone what all she missed and I said I could show her and she told me too."

"You're not supposed to Rennesme."

"Leave her alone, it is ok." Bri said quietly as she wiped her face. We watched her bend down to Rennesme hugging her. "Thank you, Ren." She then stood glancing at me.

"I'm so sorry, to you and to Leah and everybody."

"Bri you didn't."

"I missed my birthday, thanksgiving, Christmas, your birthday, and Leah's birthday. I'm sorry."

"We got you back Brianna, that's all I or anyone care about." I said hugging her. I was surprised she didn't push me away but hugged me tightly back instead.

"I missed you so fucking much." She whispered.

"I missed you too," I whispered into her hair. After a few moments she pulled back looking at Carlisle.

"We need to talk, privately if that's ok."

"Indeed, follow me." She pulled back from me looking up at me and touching my face. She had tears in her eyes as she looked at me, her eyes still held bags under them but she smiled at me before kissing me cheek and walking away.

BRI POV

I followed Carlisle to his office as he shut the door before moving behind the desk and sitting down. I chuckled to myself at how he moved at a normal speed.

"You can use your normal speed; you don't have to cater to me."

"I don't want to scare you."

"Thank you."

"What did you need to speak about?"

"I know you know Carlisle."

"Know what."

"I'm different."

"Meaning?"

"I know Edward has said something, I know him. I can hear everyone's thoughts, Carlisle, that's why I have been having a constant headache, it stopped after Bella hugged me the other day. I." I stopped sighing, I was so fucking scared to actually say what was going on with me, I wanted to die, I was not me anymore, Paul wouldn't and couldn't love me anymore. I was a danger to everyone I was around. "I can take other's powers Carlisle, that's why Edward can't read my thoughts anymore. I realized it after Bella hugged me everyone's voices stopped and I had peace. Then today happened."

"Rennesme."

"Yes." I nodded before continuing. "She showed me everything, from her mother and I talking after I had the miscarriage and everything while I was gone, Paul being broken and feeling everything I did, how you guys worried and cried damn near daily for me. Every moment I missed this little girl showed me and I feel even worse. I missed the holidays, everyone was feeling bad and I missed my fiancées birthday. And I know you saw what happened with Emmett, I. I think I can control things, I didn't mean to send him flying like that and break your shelf."

"It's ok, it was an accident."

"I think I got a new power as well."

"What."

"If you see this you can't tell anyone what you saw, please."

"You have my word, but Bri Edward can read minds as well, I can't guarantee he won't see this."

"I know, I just don't want to burden him with it, I don't with you either but let's face it, your 25 and have been that way for hundreds of years, and he's been 17 for a hundred."

"Ok." He chuckled as he came to kneel in front of me.

"I'm sorry." I said as I held his face showing him everything. From the moment I got knocked out after seeing Paul, to waking up in Volterra. Phasing and not having clothes anymore, the rapes, the beatings, how terrified I was curled in a corner crying, rubbing the tattoo on my ring finger. When I let go, I felt drained, I was crying and Carlisle looked upset but had tears in his eyes.

"I am so sorry you had to endure that Brianna, you are stronger than you know."

"How do I stop it? I mean I don't have a thirst but how do I stop it."

"You can't."

"Then I'll end it, I can't fucking live like this."
