Question: What I don't understand about Bella Swan!.!.!.!.!?
I know these Twilight questions are annoying to you, but I just had to ask because it was bugging me for a while: how can Bella have a magical ability to shield her thoughts from Edward's mind reading if she was just an ordinary human being in the beginning!? Correct me if I'm wrong =)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Stephenie said Bella has a very private mind as a human and therefore Edward can't read her mind!. When she became a vampire, her closed mindedness turned into a shield!. She can make this shield go away so that Edward can read her mind, but it requires full concentration!.

I actually read the Twighlight books, and while I like it and I can read the whole book in a matter of a day or two, parts of it are unbelievable and annoying!. Hahaha!. I don't know how Bella can have that ability to shield her thoughts!.!.!.a lot of the book is taken too far where it's supposed to be abstract and kind of cool but it's just unbelievable and lame in some parts!.!.!.I don't want to ruin the last book for you, but I'm reading Breaking Dawn and there are also a lot of things in it that I don't like!. But it's alright :) hope I helped somehow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

humans, when changed into vampires, carry their strongest traits into their new life!. Most times, it ends up being just a strong trait!. But at others, they are manifested into special powers like Edward's, Alice's and Jasper's!. Bella could always sheild her thoughts from Edward because she had a very complex and private mind (As Meyer says)!. So it was fitting that her vampire power was to sheild her mind from any kind of onsluaght, and to spread it over others to protect them to!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

In Breaking Dawn, Aro makes a comment along the lines of, "Hmm, it seems you were destined to be a vampire!."

Maybe it WAS destiny!.

Alice had the ability to see into the future even while she was human, so it could just be a random fate thing!.

*shrugs*

Stephenie Meyer didnt really go into depth about all of that!. =[Www@QuestionHome@Com

some humans do have supernatural abilities, like Alice being able to see the future even before she became a vampire!. These abilities are simply magnified after becoming a vampire!. It is possible that it is a biological thing passed down through generations gaining strength but that is just a guess!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some people's powers that they would have as a vampire are so strong they can be in effect when a person is still human!. That is also why some of the people from the Volturi's powers didn't work on her!. They said that in Breaking Dawn!. I hope this helps answer your question!!! (^_^)*Www@QuestionHome@Com

cuzzz like it said in the first book


she was likee on a different wave lenght with her thoughts !

her thoughts were way different from the otherss and


well idk bout her using the shield to sheild other people but her thoughts were always a mystery to Edward !Www@QuestionHome@Com

some people are borne with physic powers and or in most cases it was true love if Edward could read bella thoughts she'd be a puppet to him she was a mystery and thats what made Edward fascinated by her Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe she was born to be a vampire!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
