Abilities

Everyone has a tale

He could feel his blood pulsating as he stood over the body. The blood falling from his fingertips.  He felt more alive than he had for months. The feeling of mirth ran through him as he stared into the now soulless eyes of the one he had been hunting.  There was no remorse, no guilt, no quarrel within him. There was a void in his heart, a black nothing that took over him, seeped into his brain, his heart.The  animal like instinct took him over and he did what he had to do,what he  wanted to do.  As he moved to the sink of the now empty room all he could hear was the steady drip of blood falling from the mans neck he had just ripped open.  As he washed his hands off, he remembered his last phone call with his daughter.

"Where are you daddy? I can't wait for you to be home. We have this huge project for the homecoming dance and I am in desperate need of supplies." 

" I have a few things to attend to before I come home sweetie, I promise I won't be any later than 1935, What is it that you will be needing and I'll pick it up along with sushi?"

" Some paints and a canvas, as large as you can find, oohh and some glitter too!" 

"Consider it done.  You'll win this competition for sure, but I have to go now, I love you, and tell your mother that I will be bringing supper home, see you soon.."

As the last of the blood fell into the drain he stared at his watch, it read 1905.  

"I had better get a move on." he thought. 

As he pulled into the driveway he heard the neighbor call. 

"Hey Edward!"

 looking over the hedges he saw a middle aged balding man wearing boxers a robe and dog slippers holding a newspaper in one hand and what looked like a chicken leg in the other, staring at him with a grin on his face.

"Yes, Micheal." replied Edward, never looking away from Micheal's hazel eyes and pudgy face.

"I was wondering if  you and Chloe would like to come over for dinner tomorrow night? The wife is cooking pork chops and mashed potatoes."

"I'm sorry but Mrs. Black and I have a prior engagement tomorrow, maybe some other time..." Edward said cooly.

"Oh alright then." replied Micheal. Thinking to himself "If that b*****d of a neighbor doesn't want anything to do with us fine, one of these days I'm going to show him how much he needs me."

Edward hearing all of what Micheal was thinking sneered and mumbled

" One day Micheal, you and your wife may not be around to be needed."

And with that he entered his house.  

There was a "Daddy!" right before a brown blur flew to his arms wrapping her arms around his chest.

"Hey there Angel face, I missed you." Edward said while smiling down at his daughter.

Angel is sixteen and very much the daddies girl.  She had dark brown hair like Edward, and almost black eyes that reminded Edward so much of his wife, Her skin was of her mothers as well.  But Edward knew that genetics were in Chloe"s favor with her being from India.  

"Daddy,  Remember how I told you awhile ago that I can bring things back to life? Well I was at the planetarium today and seen a  dying Lavender and brought it back to life." 

" That was very sweet of you Angel, did you pick it for the house? or your room. They are a wonderful smelling flower you know."

" I know that daddy, and I did. I actually have on the kitchen table. To bring peaceful thoughts to the family." Angel said with a grin.

Smiling back to her he thought "you are so wonderful and very important to me," Angel smiled back and thought. " I know and that's why love me, and I love you!"

"haha" you have me there Edward said.

"Edward, honey I heard you come in, how was your day?"

"Chloe my love up until now it has paled in comparison to the beauty in which you possess."

" You big sweet talker," thought Chloe, 

Edward just smiled and took his wife's hand while holding his daughter close, as they walked from the hallway to the living room, where Angel broke off with the supplies Edward brought home for her, While Chloe went to set the table for dinner. See this is no normal family. They are special, dynamic, unique.  They could read minds and do many other things. Angel could not only read minds, but bring life to death, and Chloe could read minds and hear very acutely. They both had the ability to regenerate health along with Edward, in which they could not die.  Now Edward had the ability to read minds, regenerate his health and many more abilities. Some of which are dark, some not. This story is about his world, his life, his family. And all that it entails.
