Chapter 14-Normalcy 

The Cullens all tried from that day on to make me feel like one of them, even Rosalie talked to me sometimes. I did have vampire tendencies. I could run fast , jump quite far ,and even throw Emmett a little ways (Edward loved that one). Though I went on hunting adventures I could not watch or be down wind from the smell, but I was just happy to finally be included instead of imagining it all.  Carlisle appeared to be right, I did not haft to eat, the urge to drink was lost on me. Not that I minded that one, to be honest. No power surges had happened since the first fit. I knew they would return but I thought if I pretended they didn't exist then they wouldn't.

Alice had been using her visions to predict when the Volturi would be deciding to check in on us, but she had yet to see anything being official. We were in the middle of discussing what we were going to do. My thoughts were that I would go alone, but no one was buying that. 

"That ridiculous, you are not going by yourself." Esme said, she looking at Carlisle sternly. Carlisle looked at her and smiled. This conversation was getting tiresome. 

"Bella, will not be going to Voltueera alone." I felt angry, my wish of not putting anyone but myself in danger was being ignored. Suddenly I felt lighter and very optimistic. Jasper. He was manipulating my emotions. Stop, I thought. I closed my eyes, I want to feel how I wanted to feel. Then I did. My anger flooded back to my chest in a rush. I looked up from my knees at Jasper, he was looking contented next to Alice. Everyone else in the room was smiling. 

Wait, why was everyone else being effected but not me? 

"Jasper, give it a rest." Edward said. Edward got stiffer next to me and released a breath. "Thanks." 

"We do not haft to make any rash plans right now, when we know what they are doing we can make our decision." Carlisle said. "It is just better if we know what to expect." 

"Bella, are you okay?" Jasper inquired.
