the forgotten subject

[there was a silence]

One subject that everyone has forgotten about is: Why can't Edward read Bella's mind? And why doesn't any of the Volturi's powers work either? I hope these questions are answered in Breaking Dawn or.. maybe Midnight Sun...  

[Pubic Genital Lice]

Stephenie said some where that in Breaking Dawn it will explain it a little more or some thing like that.

 

[Emo Oompa Loompa]

that gives me another reason to look forward to BREAKING DAWN!!!  

[Fide et Amore]

I've been dying to know. Everyone's been talking about the wedding, the wedding night, bella being changed, whats going to happen to Jacob... but what could Bella's power be? What could top edward's mind reading??? GAH.  

[papershelf i c i c l e s]

yeah.. ive been curious about that too.. somehow i think her power would be either a super neutralizer or a collection of all their powers (like Peter from Heroes).
anywho, i sadly admit to have read an actual cheesy vampire romance (VERY CHEESY) (AND VERY ROMANCE-Y) where the vamps could read each others mind, but they couldnt read the mind of their soulmates... maybe its something like that...? it just occured to me now, as i was writing.  

[fancy-painted-boats-]

no no, cause that guy at the volturi couldnt read bella's mind either, and he is certainly not her soul mate. XD  

[papershelf i c i c l e s]

ah... good point. in that case, im stumped razz  

[Velsaria]

Hmmm... This really is a good question.Personally I have no idea but I think it's probably going to be huge in the plot for Breaking Dawn. Man, now there's another thing to make me impatient.  

[celestialheiress]

well in the Anne Rice novels, all vampires had the ability to read minds except the minds of those they turned ...not that it matters, but still.


maybe if edward turns her then he can read her mind?? eh? eh? probably not.  

[there was a silence]

I've been dying to know this through all the books...  

[.Bucket.of.Joy.]

Theres a wee bit about it in Eclipse and Stephenie answers it in the FAQ for New Moon.
It's because Bella has a very private, secure mind, she is safe there and no one can reach her there either.
Something like that.
But I'm hoping she'll elaborate for us more in Breaking Dawn.

God i don't know its to hard to even get an idea out!!!! i mean i kind of agree with Edwards reason in Twilight he is on FM and shes an AM....i dont know all i kn ow is that shes safe in her mind. But like Alice and Jasper gifts work on her because its not within her mind.  

[there was a silence]

oooh yeeeaaaahh.. I remember him saying that.. hm...  

[Loveholic786]

I hope those questions are answered. btw online there is the first chapter of Midnight Sun it is so good.  

[lili3]

that is definetly in my list of must-knows, i used to think maybe its because these power are effective on her but Jasper can still calm her down, so that theory is out the window. but something else i wonder is will these powers efect her after (yet) shes a vampire?? im very curious about this
