I couldn’t help but see Alice’s point.

“Yes, you’re right, Alice.”

“As usual.”

“Hmm. Tell me something.”

“I always do.”

“Do you see Bella developing any powers? I forgot about that possibility until now, I’ve been so concerned that she would survive the change unscathed.”

Alice shook her head slowly from side to side. “I have to focus. Give me a second … Interesting, very interesting.”

“What?”

“She seems to have some type of immunity. She’s impervious to something, but what…? I just can’t see it yet.”

“Well, I guess that’s good news. I have a feeling that Bella will continue to be a danger magnet, despite her new state. Let me know if you discover anything more.”

“I will.” Then Alice kissed me on the cheek and left the room.

I lay back on the bed, my arms behind my head. I contemplated the fact that Bella’s mind was still a closed book to me. More than ever I wished I could open its cover and read her thoughts.
