Finals week! Hideous and glorious at the same time: hideous because I have to study for four tests, each about 2 and a half hours long, and glorious because once I’m finished, I get weeks off until class starts again (and next semester, I get to take creative writing, which is obviously better for me than calculus). Thankfully, I get a break for Chapter the Thirteenth:
Bella’s silvery scars from where James bit her are like concrete memories of how she was nearly killed in Arizona. Jasper has the same scars as well, though multiplied all up his arms, which in the same way are memories of his own past. What is particularly interesting is that Benito descended from Dallas, which is where I live (I finally also understand that final clue that was given by the Twicon peoples as to where it would be held).
This gigantic war between the Volturi, Benitos’ newborns, and the other vampires had to have been brutal. Just imagining all these vampire fighting to the death is slightly unsettling, especially since to kill a vampire you must tear them up and burn the pieces. I can’t even begin to imagine what any humans who might have glimpsed this war would have thought (as they ran for their lives).
I’m sure becoming a vampire was the last thing on Jasper’s mind when he went out to be a soldier. But vampires, in more ways than one, seem to me as natural killing machines. It’s like a black widow effect: they captivate their prey and then strike after drawing them in, giving the vampires the only moment they need in which to strike. When Maria changed Jasper, I doubt he ever foresaw it coming from someone so beautiful. Unfortunately, I doubt the general was pleased
I’ve noticed that vampires can’t really make treaties with one (Cullen’s aside). Even Maria is betrayed by Nettie and Lucy in the end. This seems to be the most dangerous part of newborn vampires: there is hardly any way to control them, especially with their burst of power in the first year. Imagining one of these loose in Seattle is not a very pleasant thought (especially since I’ll be flying in there for Summer School In Forks next year :O ).
I like how Jasper’s vampire powers mimic the natural gifts he had when he was human. As I’ve said many times on BlogTV shows, I’ve always thought that if I was a vampire, my powers would be something akin to invisibility. But not exactly. I think it would be something more of the ability not to be seen, to keep from being noticed in a way, since despite what hosting BlogTVs and radio shows and blogs may say, I am somewhat awkward and nervous when in front of a crowd of people. I’ve been told the description of the ability not to be seen is also known as ninja skills, so I might have an alternative to being a vampire after all.
I’m sure it was a great thing for Jasper to find a friend amongst his new vampire family — one that he didn’t expect to kill him in his sleep or anything, at least. I found Peter’s job quite interesting:
“He was assigned to deal with the newborns — babysit them, you could say. It was a full time job, so to help pass the time, he took up reading books relevant to his predicament.”
Peter's Favorite Book Series
It is obvious now what is going on in Seattle: this vampire army of newborns who are feasting upon the locals in their indomitable thirst. But why are they so close? I still question as to if they are there to incite war between the Cullens and the werewolves, or if they are there as a distraction, while Victoria sneaks in and gets Bella. She is really the only person I see who could be causing this, and whatever it is, her plans spell nothing good for Bella’s survival.
I can see there is about to be a war, and a very bad one at that (I caught myself from saying a very bloody war, as the puns abound enough already). Obviously, there are bad feelings between the vampire coven in the north and the werewolves, partially at the fault of Laurent, who as we all remember was killed by the werewolves when he attempted to make Bella into a tasty snack.
Not The Tasty Snack He Had In Mind
Thus, the ultimatum is this: if the Cullens allow the northern vampires to kill all the werewolves, they will help with cleaning up this messy business with the newborns. If not, the Cullens are on their own, and are going to have a simply grand time trying to suppress an army of newborns who are stronger and wilder than they are, and far more numerous.

Hmmm. What superpower would I have? Well, I am very good at knowing people. I tend to finish their sentences and know what they are thinking before they do (much to the complete annoyance of my friends). So, I would probably be a mind-reader.
But if I could choose my superpower, I would choose teleportation. Not sure that’s actually a vampire power, but that’s what I would want most; as I LOVE to travel but am really impatient. π
I would think that it would be super-weirdness or super-reading!!! lol!
that video was awesome, although, some of those objects were quite random! XP But I suppose if I were to go through my room and make a video like that, I would have random stuff like that!
You know, I really think I wouldn’t have a vampire superpower! =( I would love to have one, but I honestly think I would be power-free. I know for a fact that my boyfriend would have super sarcasm as a power…and overconfidence…(I wonder how that would work, to have super over confidence when you’re a vampire…oh lordy!)
If I did have a power, I would certainly want something like Alice. To know what might happen to someone if they choose a certain path. I’d love that, so then I could know what Christmas present I’m gonna get from my boyfriend! lol
Would being stubborn be a power? Because I am super stubborn! lol.
I really don’t know if I would have a power… But then again, I would never want to be a vampire, so unless I can get these powers as a human, what’s the point in wanting them? lol
Well since I`m a contortionist, maybe I would be even more super flexible? That would be kinda awesome. But then again, if Vampires have super strength, speed, and reflexes, then why wouldn`t they be super bendy already?
Can you not imagine Alice sliding down into the splits, or doing backbends?…I can…..
Video = Awesome.
Monty Python = epic
and as for a vampire power… I’m sort of shy/quiet so I’d like invisibility. Being able to turn myself invisible would be cool π
good luck on your calculus test! I’m not taking calculus. Ever.
I plan on doubling up on sciences senior year of highschool to avoid it, lol
because i read a TON now, i would probably have the ability to go through books ridiculously fast. that would be a fun power! or i would just be a vampire without any powers. the only obvious trait about me is that i am really strange…
I would probably be like you and have Invisibility…for I hate crowds and tend to blend into the background
oh, and funny video! i particularly enjoy the gnomes and the dictionary! sometimes when i am bored i read the dictionary…
Your picture manips? Yeah, they never get old. And neither do your chapter reviews. *huggle*
If I were a vampire… Huh. Power would probably be something like, mind control. xD Because I’ve been told I can be very convincing. I’m also pretty outgoing so possibly something that could relate to that. And I can’t think of anything right now. But yeah, let’s just go with mind control.
*bends you against your will to buy me a llama*
Now go, mind slave!
~Jo
hmm…. I don’t think about this often, but maybe invisibility. Or the power to make everyone avoid me. High school (shudder) has me dying to just slip past unseen. I hate being looked at or being the center of attention. It’d be kick-butt to be like a flying vampire, though. But probably invisibility.
I like your silly puns! It’s why I read this.
Anyways, as for superpowers, it would be something like yours, only a little more extreme. I would be undetectable. No sight, sound, or smell. (Best guess at least.) Why? No one ever hears me coming and I can literally be standing next to someone talking to them when suddenly they start looking around asking ‘Where is she?’
I think my gift would probably be that i could read peoples minds. I almost always have a very good sense of what people are thinking and how they are feeling. I can usually tell that about people, and it makes things a lot easier to base how i act.
I know, its already taken, and im EXTREMELY uncreative. But, its the truth.
Oh my, I have no idea. I really have no sense of who I am. Hmm, probably the ability to have a really good memory and understand things. Because I’m really smart when it comes to school work, but the rest of the time I’m just so dumb and I have no idea what’s going on, so I’d probably have a really good memory and be smarter.. I guess.. Kinda sucky-ish, I nkow, but it’s all I could come up with.
Wow…powers…well, I would be telekinetic. I’ve been told I’m quite a mover and I use my mind more than I’d like to admit, so telekinesis is my perfect power.
Wonderful post, as always, but a question. What’s your honest opinion of Jasper? He’s my personal favorte, but Im curious to your take on him now that you are farmiliar with his background.
Anyhoo, I dont know what my vampire ability would be. It would be just my luck to not get a special power, but for this question I turned to my family. I am known, to practically everyone, as a devourer of books. So acording to my family, I would be able to read a person. The whole ‘judging a book by its cover’ thing, but completly accurate and aplied to people. I dont know how practical this would be, having to pause everytime I laid eyes on a new person, but maybe it could work to my advantage. Personally, I believe that any power I would have would involve either my ‘naration’ (The term I like to use for when I narate a situation in my head; admitedly a bad habit of mine because it can be incredibly distracting.), my strong emotions, or (as my family suggested) books.
Though I would be happy not to trip, burn myself, scrape some part of my anatomy, or forget where I put something important! π
I don’t even know if I’d HAVE a gift. π But if I did, I think that I’d have the ability to manipulate the minds. Like this, I can manipulate people’s appearences, so, like, if I was a vampire, I could make myself look human and everyone would see me as a human. Or like, I could make somebody have…purple skin, and only they would see themselves with purple skin; everyone else would see them as normal. And with this gift, I could make myself invisible, so I guess I have your gift too! You can tell I have too much time to think about these things. π
ooo!!! i love this question. i have often thought about this. I think I would be able to tell if a person is lying or being truthful. I would be like a walking truth detector. lol. The reason for this is because I just have this weird way of knowing when someone is lying, even strangers. idk, its weird but i just can tell. One time i was talking to my cousin through the computer and i asked her a question…and when she resposnded, immediatly i knew she was lying. its strange but it can come in handy at times. π
btw: loved ur post! π
epic lulz at the babysitter’s club book. i definitely remember reading the original/non-vampified versions when i was younger.
hmmmm. if i was a vampire… i’d probably have alice’s power actually.
yeah un-original, but i get CRAZY deja vu. for example -clears throat- just a week ago, i went to my usual lyrical dance class and bam, i knew most all of the choreography the teacher was going to teach us. i had the worst dreaded deja vu feeling the entire day and BAM my best friend’s boyfriend broke up w/ her that night after a one year relationship.
coincidence? i think not ;D hahaha
also, i’m a really musical person so… maybe i could have a power like that? an overly tantalizing voice? OOH like, a distinct sense of hearing that would allow me to tell if people are lying or not and their current emotions based on certain tones in their voice?
oooh my overactive imagination takes over again.
*headdesk*
awesome post kaleb!
Umm…If I were a vampire, I’d probably have a power similar to Jasper’s. I usually just have to step into the room to be able to tell if someone’s really happy or depressed or whatever.
I love how 90% of these posts say they’d either have some variation of your power or Jasper’s…
So. Something completely original…I knit…maybe I’d be able to knit an entire sweater in, like, an hour? Or maybe I could think about how I want it to look and then I have the pattern in my mind! That would be cool.
Or…maybe I’d have the power to cheer people up? I’m a hopeless optimist. Most of the time, anyway.
Stephenie never mentioned any of her characters knitting, but I think Alice should learn how. That would be freaquin’ hilarious!
π
OMG emily we have the same power. my friends say sarcasm pours off of me so i would say super sarcasm for my power.
Haha! Kaleb, what would I do without your posts?… Probably die.
Anyway, if I had a superpower as a vampire it would probably be to become unnoticable, as well, because I am extremly shy. Sometimes I wonder if anyone really notices me anyway without having that sort of vamp power.
Love ‘The Vampire Babysitter’s Club’. Peter and I have a very similar taste in books.
Keleb did you get to enjoy the snow today? As a fellow southerner (I live in New Orleans) I was extremely happy to walk outside and see snowflakes all around me π
Anyway, I loved your confederate picture and I guess if I were a vamp I would probably have a power similar to Alice in the pyschic region, but I wouldnt be able to see in the future.
I dont know why, but I have this uncanny abitity to have great timing wherever I go, I’m always able to get the last thing on stock, (whether its a video game or a box of cereal) I always know whose calling me before I answer the phone, (and no, we do not have caller id! Its sad really, but we needed to save money) and I seem to be able to walk outside at the exact same time a ride for me would be pulling up before they even called to tell me they were there. My friends say its weird and strange, and I completely agree with them, but I think that would be my power if I were to have one. Sorry I rambled Kaleb, I was really trying hard not to π Good luck with your finals!
Like you, I would have the ability to go unnoticed. Or some combination of Edward and Jasper. I am a very good listener and highly observant. I pick up on tones in people’s voices that have a hidden or deeper meaning.
Hmm… Not to be totally stealing your vampire power, but now that you mentioned invisibility that sounds like it would be something I’d get if I were to turn into a vampire. I hate being in large crowds of people. I get so nervous and anxious and uncomfortable. And I’ve already been known to be able to be sneaky and hide really well and be really quiet. So yeah, invisibility for me. xP
Based on some things I can actually do now (creepy, I know) I have to say my vampire power would probably be what I call “reading” people: their thoughts, feelings and reactions to certain subjects, analyzing why they do and feel as they do.(I even creep myself out thinking about it…) At the moment it only works when I’m in some from of contact with them, so I don’t know how it would work if it became enhanced…
Hmmm – I reckon I’d be able to blend in anywhere. I’m a pretty easy-going person and try to be relatable to most people and in most situations. Not sure how that would help as a vampire – maybe as a way to mix with other vampire groups without being noticed so as to do some covert information gathering operations….
I’d probably have the ability to make other vampires bring the people right to me so I wouldn’t have to chase them down. Really, I have it down to an art as a human. I’m so lazy. Wow, this is making me sound lame.
if i was a vampire my special ability would be to know what people should do when they are in a fix. my friends always ask me for advice. i’m their ‘go to’ person for when they need help. they call me the motherly figure lol
Hmm I would have to say my power would be similar to alices the only limit is it would only work on men. hahaha
I love to sing ♥
so hopefully my vampire “power” would be something like having the most beautiful voice and composing wonderful music for the world =D
I would probably have super organization skills if I was a vampire. hmm. I’m not sure.
The one power I really would like to have would be Marcus’s. I really like the idea of being able to see relationships.
I would definitely be invisible. Or I would have this insane connection to the world since I’m quite observant. All I would have to do is tune into a certain part of the world, and I would know everything that’s going on in that one place. That would be awesome.
Ok that’s funny. When you were talking about the super power you might have I totally started thinking about what kind I would have before I read the question π Anyway I thought that reading minds would be reasonable. Because my friends always tell me I’m really observant and I can pick up on things a lot of others can’t. Great question!
Hmmm… I think that I’d have the ability to tell people something and they would believe it to be true. Sort of like those ‘pushers’ in that new movie Push that’s also from Summit Entertainment. I dunno. People tend to believe anything I say, which isn’t really a good thing. but, if I was a vampire and someone noticed something was off about me, I could tell them that I wasn’t and they’d HAVE to believe me. π
I think that’s what I’d have as a gift. Totally.
I’d probably have an enhanced ability to spazz out.
My vamp power would be…a combination of invisibility (since no one notices me in a large crowd) and keen observation skills (like the ability to see out the back of my head). xD
I Don#’t really know what My vampire power would be, but since reading this, I think I know.
In some way, don’t ask me how, but to an extent I can read minds. I don’t mean the way like Edward can. You know the way if you know somone really well, you can read their mind?
That’s what I mean. And somehow I can know what people are feeling. Eg. If I were walking beside my best friend and we we talking as normal, I would be able to know what she was feeling. I know what Tension feels like, and Worry, and stress. I can feel emotions like that, but never really annoyed. I can feel happyness as well, and excited. Eg. If I were really annoyed, and my best friend was happy, I would be able to feel it, even though I was annoyed. It’s hard to explain. Worry is sort of like a pain to me, the more worried you are, the more it hurts me.
I think my power would be a mix between Edward’s and Jasper’s.
loved the background music, kaleb. i am so freakin jealous of you right now, i got braces a week ago, and your teeth are perfectly strait, unlike mine. i have to have them on for two years and i hate them, although everyone says i look good with them and i feel they dont hurt at all, cuz they dont, they only feel weird. its funny that you found eclipse gum and i love those instant lunches. i still dont get what is up with you and knomes….
whoops, i forgot to answer the question and comment on the post. this is one of my favorite chapters in eclipse along with unhappy ending because you get to understand more from jasper’s point of view and how he bacame a vampire and same with rosalie for unhappy ending. you get to know why she is so bitter. if i was a vampire, the power i would have is probably invisibility because i feel like i’m ignored so much by my friends and teachers, i always feel like i’m invisible in my science class even though i have a 98 average and i feel like i’m not appreciated by my friends who are girls…
I think that my power would be… *drumroll*
People would instinctively trust me. Now, people are drawn to me. For some reason, people need to tell me their deepest darkest secrets. So that form of trust, magnified… I could probably get anyone to tell me anything, and people would trust me.
I would be one dangerous vamp. Thank goodness I won’t ever have to deal with that.
I have always loved that Monty Python sketch. ;-D
I’m not sure what kind of vampire I would be, but I would get an awful lot done. Either that or I would get absolutely NOTHING done. I would very good at having fun. π I would also be bitingly sarcastic (heh, get it? Bitingly… ok.).
I know this makes me sound like a creep, but because I’m so quiet I’m always watching everyone extremely closely. And I’m not going to lie, I evesdrop a lot. Usually I can tell the difference between what people are saying and what they are thinking, so I don’t know… reading minds? lies? intentions?
For my power, I think I would be able to tell the elevation I’m at; I’m really sensitive to elevation changes NOW, so…
I love you Kaleb!
Mmmm… i think my superpower would be making people tell me their secrets or something like that! I’m a very good listener and people tend to like me and trust me a lot! Yep i think that would be my superpower!
i seem to be invisible in life as well. so probably something along the lines of what you were saying… the ability to go unnoticed, haha. love the new video!
Well, Im not entirely sure what my vampire power would be. Im not much good at anything other than drawing and singing a few select songs. So maybe really good artwork? I might become a famous artist, like Da Vinci or something.
Maybe. I think I suc in general…
Anyway, I just might be one of those people who dont have a power. Or get one. Fast reader? It only takes me a couple hours to finish even big books, like Breaking Dawn, whic only took me about four and a half altogether.
Or, just maybe, completely fanatical. I love this today, but what would I love tomorrow? Its a question that goes unanswered for me. XD

Hmm… Not to be totally stealing your vampire power, but now that you mentioned invisibility that sounds like it would be something I’d get if I were to turn into a vampire. I hate being in large crowds of people. I get so nervous and anxious and uncomfortable. And I’ve already been known to be able to be sneaky and hide really well and be really quiet. So yeah, invisibility for me. xP
Based on some things I can actually do now (creepy, I know) I have to say my vampire power would probably be what I call “reading” people: their thoughts, feelings and reactions to certain subjects, analyzing why they do and feel as they do.(I even creep myself out thinking about it…) At the moment it only works when I’m in some from of contact with them, so I don’t know how it would work if it became enhanced…
Hmmm – I reckon I’d be able to blend in anywhere. I’m a pretty easy-going person and try to be relatable to most people and in most situations. Not sure how that would help as a vampire – maybe as a way to mix with other vampire groups without being noticed so as to do some covert information gathering operations….
I’d probably have the ability to make other vampires bring the people right to me so I wouldn’t have to chase them down. Really, I have it down to an art as a human. I’m so lazy. Wow, this is making me sound lame.
if i was a vampire my special ability would be to know what people should do when they are in a fix. my friends always ask me for advice. i’m their ‘go to’ person for when they need help. they call me the motherly figure lol
Hmm I would have to say my power would be similar to alices the only limit is it would only work on men. hahaha
I love to sing ♥
so hopefully my vampire “power” would be something like having the most beautiful voice and composing wonderful music for the world =D
I would probably have super organization skills if I was a vampire. hmm. I’m not sure.
The one power I really would like to have would be Marcus’s. I really like the idea of being able to see relationships.
I would definitely be invisible. Or I would have this insane connection to the world since I’m quite observant. All I would have to do is tune into a certain part of the world, and I would know everything that’s going on in that one place. That would be awesome.
Ok that’s funny. When you were talking about the super power you might have I totally started thinking about what kind I would have before I read the question π Anyway I thought that reading minds would be reasonable. Because my friends always tell me I’m really observant and I can pick up on things a lot of others can’t. Great question!
Hmmm… I think that I’d have the ability to tell people something and they would believe it to be true. Sort of like those ‘pushers’ in that new movie Push that’s also from Summit Entertainment. I dunno. People tend to believe anything I say, which isn’t really a good thing. but, if I was a vampire and someone noticed something was off about me, I could tell them that I wasn’t and they’d HAVE to believe me. π
I think that’s what I’d have as a gift. Totally.
I’d probably have an enhanced ability to spazz out.
Maybe invisibility. Because I’m very shy.
My vamp power would be…a combination of invisibility (since no one notices me in a large crowd) and keen observation skills (like the ability to see out the back of my head). xD
I Don#’t really know what My vampire power would be, but since reading this, I think I know.
In some way, don’t ask me how, but to an extent I can read minds. I don’t mean the way like Edward can. You know the way if you know somone really well, you can read their mind?
That’s what I mean. And somehow I can know what people are feeling. Eg. If I were walking beside my best friend and we we talking as normal, I would be able to know what she was feeling. I know what Tension feels like, and Worry, and stress. I can feel emotions like that, but never really annoyed. I can feel happyness as well, and excited. Eg. If I were really annoyed, and my best friend was happy, I would be able to feel it, even though I was annoyed. It’s hard to explain. Worry is sort of like a pain to me, the more worried you are, the more it hurts me.
I think my power would be a mix between Edward’s and Jasper’s.
loved the background music, kaleb. i am so freakin jealous of you right now, i got braces a week ago, and your teeth are perfectly strait, unlike mine. i have to have them on for two years and i hate them, although everyone says i look good with them and i feel they dont hurt at all, cuz they dont, they only feel weird. its funny that you found eclipse gum and i love those instant lunches. i still dont get what is up with you and knomes….
whoops, i forgot to answer the question and comment on the post. this is one of my favorite chapters in eclipse along with unhappy ending because you get to understand more from jasper’s point of view and how he bacame a vampire and same with rosalie for unhappy ending. you get to know why she is so bitter. if i was a vampire, the power i would have is probably invisibility because i feel like i’m ignored so much by my friends and teachers, i always feel like i’m invisible in my science class even though i have a 98 average and i feel like i’m not appreciated by my friends who are girls…
I think that my power would be… *drumroll*
People would instinctively trust me. Now, people are drawn to me. For some reason, people need to tell me their deepest darkest secrets. So that form of trust, magnified… I could probably get anyone to tell me anything, and people would trust me.
I would be one dangerous vamp. Thank goodness I won’t ever have to deal with that.
I have always loved that Monty Python sketch. ;-D
I’m not sure what kind of vampire I would be, but I would get an awful lot done. Either that or I would get absolutely NOTHING done. I would very good at having fun. π I would also be bitingly sarcastic (heh, get it? Bitingly… ok.).
I know this makes me sound like a creep, but because I’m so quiet I’m always watching everyone extremely closely. And I’m not going to lie, I evesdrop a lot. Usually I can tell the difference between what people are saying and what they are thinking, so I don’t know… reading minds? lies? intentions?
For my power, I think I would be able to tell the elevation I’m at; I’m really sensitive to elevation changes NOW, so…
I love you Kaleb!
Mmmm… i think my superpower would be making people tell me their secrets or something like that! I’m a very good listener and people tend to like me and trust me a lot! Yep i think that would be my superpower!
i seem to be invisible in life as well. so probably something along the lines of what you were saying… the ability to go unnoticed, haha. love the new video!
Well, Im not entirely sure what my vampire power would be. Im not much good at anything other than drawing and singing a few select songs. So maybe really good artwork? I might become a famous artist, like Da Vinci or something.
Maybe. I think I suc in general…
Anyway, I just might be one of those people who dont have a power. Or get one. Fast reader? It only takes me a couple hours to finish even big books, like Breaking Dawn, whic only took me about four and a half altogether.
Or, just maybe, completely fanatical. I love this today, but what would I love tomorrow? Its a question that goes unanswered for me. XD
