ok. if you have read the books then you would know that edward cannot listen to Bella's thoughts. that is because specially she has the power to block out everything/everyone so that no one is able to get inside her head. that later come to protect her and her family. i do think Stephenie Meyer was on crack when she came up with this idea.
She can shield others from mental powers as well as herself.
*SPOILER* she has a power called a shield wich she can protect every one around her (mentaly ie. Jane , Alec , Aro , Edward etc )
When Bella is a human, Edward CANNOT read her mind. When Bella becomes a vampire, her special ability is her shield. Edward still can't read her mind, Kate cannot shock Bella with her fingers, etc. But, she has the ability to lift her shield so it's like it was never there in the first place. When she lifts her shield, Edward CAN read her mind. Read the last couple pages in Breaking Dawn, that's when this happens.
Miles Bellas's birth name is Anthony Miles Bellas.
Thomas Bellas is 6'.
her gift is basically a shield where she can shield the minds of herself and anyone else inside the invisible shield . The shield protects the mind from the powers that affect it like Jane's power of causing mental pain and mind reading.
Bell can shield her mind. For example, Edward can't read her mind. She can also extend her shield to include others.
The population of Palmas Bellas is 1,420.
Bruce Bellas was born in 1909.
Edward can not read Bella's mind while he is in her shield. At the very end of Breaking Dawn Bella, after learning more about her shield and how to use it, trys very hard and allows Edward in but only when she trys very hard. Bella has a sort of secondary shield in her mind that protects her in the bigger shield so if that shield breaks down shes still protected but everyone else is not.
Metro Bellas Artes was created in 1970.
edward as you know can not read Bella mind when Bella becomes a vampire she discovers that keeping people out of her mind is her power. AKA a 'shield'. she learns to push it away from her to protect other people.
