Okay, so my plan was to have this out to you guys a few days ago, but that didn't happen. I attempted to post it through the iPhone app as I had lost my laptop charger, but that was a mess. So I finally bought a new charger and will now be able to use my laptop to update my stories! I would have posted last night, however I went to my friend's house and let's just say my head is pounding.

So, here is my newest story The Power is Up for Grabs!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or Big Brother

I stood on stage, situated on a set of steps, with a Julie Chen not far from my grasp and a live audience watching my every move. To say that my nerves were going haywire was an understatement. I was joined by seven other people, all of us waiting to compete for a chance to win five-hundred thousand dollars. To my left was a blond bombshell and next to her was a woman with wild, fiery red hair. To my right was girl who was bouncing up and down with energy and I could only describe her appearance as pixie like. Behind her stood a man with a rather round, boyish looking face and overly gelled spiked hair. Next to him and behind me was another reason for my haywire nerves. I had only been able to catch a small glimpse of him, but I was able to tell that the man behind me was absolutely gorgeous. Beside the god was a man who reminded of the hulk due to his massive size. Finally, there was an Asian man beside him with hair that reached his shoulders.

Julie Chen began to speak, "Hello fans and hello houseguests. Welcome to Big Brother 18. This season we bring back an old twist and introduce some new twists. We will watch as our houseguests compete to win the half a million dollar grand prize, make some enemies, some friends and some of you may also find your next true love in the house." The audience clapped, whistled and hollered. Julie turned to face us. "Houseguests, it is now time to enter the big brother house. Alice, Mike, Bella, and Emmett, you will be the first to enter the Big Brother house. Good luck." She finished her sentence with a nod.

I grabbed my bag and made my way through the door and into the big brother house. As usual, we all ran around the house searching for the bedrooms. The pixie, whom I now knew as Alice, and I picked the same London themed room. One wall red, the rest of the walls containing lighted pictures of famous London attractions such as Big Ben. The bedding was black and white with red accent pillows. I tossed my bag on the twin bed in the corner and Alice placed hers on the bed next to it, leaving two other twin beds left to claim.

Suddenly I was enveloped in a hug by the tiny girl with short black hair. "I'm Alice, but you already know that!" She squeaked excitedly before leaning in to whisper in my ear, "We are going to be best friends, you me and Rose, I can just sense it already!" Despite her energy, I could tell she was a sweet girl and she would make a good ally in the house, at least it seemed so.

"Hi Alice, I'm Bella, it's wonderful to meet you!" I hugged her back before we quickly made our way into the living room.

Simultaneously we felt ourselves pulled into a big bear hug, who I could only guess was Emmett, as that seemed a fitting name for someone so big. "Emmett's the name and fun is the game! It's lovely to meet you ladies, now tell me, who is Alice?" Alice squeaked her answer, "So you must be Bella!" He dropped us and I let out a breath.

"Hi Emmett! Thanks for the welcome greeting!" Alice giggled and I nodded along with her. We moved on to introduce ourselves to Mike and just as we finished, the four other houseguests entered.

We quickly introduced ourselves before making out way into the common room to give our brief bios. Alice sat to my right and Emmett to my left.

Alice stood up first, no shocker there. "Hello!" She waved to everyone, bouncing with energy and excitement, "I hail from New York and I'm the editor for a small time fashion magazine, with hopes of becoming designer as well as editor for Vogue! I'm so very excited to be here and I can't wait to compete with you all!" She finished her introduction and sat down.

Mike stood up next, "Hello everyone, and especially hello to the beautiful ladies," I rolled my eyes in my head but smiled softly on the outside. This game was all about faking it, right? "My name is Mike, I hail from Pennsylvania and I just recently took over ownership of my parents sporting goods store. I'm a huge big brother fan and I'm excited at the prospect of a showmance with one of you pretty girls." I threw up a little in my mouth when he winked at us.

Emmett was up next, "What's up guys! My name is Emmett, I'm from California and I am a personal trainer! I'm a big teddy bear and I love to have fun!" Emmett sat down, he seemed as though he might be a good ally as well. I took a deep breath before standing up.

"Hey everyone, my name is Bella, I come from a very tiny town in Washington. I sell insurance and I'm a huge bookworm, but I also like to have fun every now and then." I sat down and watched as Adonis, who I had learned was Edward, stood up.

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Edward, I also come from Washington, Port Townsend to be exact." I felt my eyes go wide for a second before I dialed them back down to normal. This gorgeous creature was only two hours from me and I had no clue. "I'm currently in the middle of my residency at the hospital there to be a trauma doctor. I also play the piano and enjoy playing sports, especially baseball, as well." He sat down and Rose, the blonde supermodel stood up.

"Well, heya," She smiled at everyone, "My name is Rose and I come from California as well, I own my own clothing shop, and I have my MBA from USC. I enjoy surfing and a scuba diving." She sat down, tossing her hands over her shoulder.

After Victoria, the red head, and Eric, the Asian introduced themselves we sat around and talked, getting to know each other even more. Not long after the TV kicked on and Julie Chen came on the screen. "Hello houseguests, I hope you all have become well acquainted because it is time to throw the first twist your way. As you may have noticed, there are only eight of you in the house, it is now time to say hello to the remaining eight houseguests. Some of them may seem very familiar." The TV faded to black and we all looked at each other with confused faces when the door to the house opened. I felt my heart drop when I recognized the familiar copper skin and dark features.

"Fuck." I whispered under my breath, hearing similar whispers around me.

My stomach twisted in knots, and not the good kind, when I watched him come closer, to stand behind me on the couch. "Jacob." I said curtly, his name tasted sick on my tongue.

"Bella," My name did not roll off his tongue nearly as harshly as his did mine. Perhaps that was because the end of our relationship struck a different cord with him than it did with me.

I looked around, Edward was getting the stare down from a woman with strawberry blonde hair and obviously fake tits. Emmett was giving a girl with glasses another one of his bear hugs, Alice was giving a death glare to a man with dirty blonde hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, and Mike was sitting awkwardly next to a girl with short blonde hair. Rosalie was hugging a boy that looked like he was of Native American descent, much like Jacob. Victoria sneered at a man with short blonde hair that was wavy, and Eric was chatting with a brunette girl who seemed to be holding up both her and Eric's end of the conversation. After a minute Julie came back on the TV.

"Hello again houseguests, I can already tell you have recognized the new houseguests. As you may have realized, the first twist was bringing all of your former significant others into the house with you. Now, are you ready for the next twist?" We all responded with 'Yes Julie' before she continued. "This season on big brother, will be a season of partners. You will each have a partner of the opposite sex, and that partner will either be the person sitting across from you, or their ex if the person across from you is not of the opposite sex. So Emmett and Rosalie, you two will be partners, your exes will also be partners. Alice and Victoria, you will pair off with each other's ex. Take some time to learn the names of your new housemates before changing to compete in the first Head of Household competition."

I took a deep breath and looked across to find Edwards beautiful green eyes staring at me, I gave him a weak smile and shot me a charming one back.

"Well, I guess I'll start, my name is Jacob, I am Bella's ex here, I sell insurance, just like Bella here." I tried my best to ignore him as he introduced himself.

Next up was the girl behind Edward. "My name is Tanya, I am Eddie's ex and I am a model." I watched as Edward winced at her nickname for him, he was obviously not fond of it.

All of the new houseguests went around introducing themselves. Alice was enthralled with Victoria's ex Jasper, who was a lawyer from Texas with a very lovely southern drawl. James, Alice's ex was very conceited and slimy, he continuously stared at me as he talked, and making me feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was the predator and I was his prey. Rosalie's ex, Sam, seemed nice enough, as did Angela, Emmett's ex. I really didn't care much for Lauren, Mike's ex, or Jessica, Eric's ex.

We all went to change and the new houseguests picked their rooms, Rose had already decided to stay in the room with Alice and, leaving the last bed to be claimed by Angela. I just finished tying my tennis shoes when we were called out to the back yard. All the girls were wearing matching sports bras and spandex shorts. All of the guys wearing similar board shorts as well.

When we got to the back yard it was set up like a gym, with a large TV on the far wall with eight treadmills facing it. In front of each treadmill was a podium with a chalkboard on it. We all took our seats next to our partners, I felt insecure next to Edward who had a perfect body. His muscles were defined, but he wasn't bulky like Emmett.

Julie came on the big screen to greet us. "Hello houseguests and welcome to the first HoH competition of the season!" Some of clapped and others whooped. "In this completion one person on your team will be on the treadmill, also called the 'walker', the other teammate will be the 'talker'. The talkers will be asked a serious of questions while the walkers are behind them on the treadmills. If the talker gets the question right, the speed of their teammate's treadmill will remain the same, if they get the question wrong, their teammates treadmill will speed up. Once all the questions have been asked, the talkers will take their seats and it becomes a game of endurance for the walkers, whoever lasts the longest on their treadmill, their team will be the first HoH of the season. Teams take your place and make your decisions of who will be the talker and who will be the walker."

I looked to Edward, "I'm not much of a runner." I said shyly, biting my lip slightly.

Edward chuckled, "Don't worry Bella, you answer the questions, let me worry about the treadmill." He smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for a high five. I smiled and gave him a quick high five before we made our way to a treadmill. I looked around, Rosalie was running for her and Emmett, Jasper for him and Alice, James for him and Victoria, Tanya for her and Jacob, no doubt so all the guys could watch her silicone bags barely move around on her chest.

The treadmills started up at fast walk, signaling the start of the competition.

"Houseguests, would you assume that Rosalie was a former cheerleader at USC?" I wrote down yes on my chalkboard. I answered correctly, so Edward's treadmill stayed the same speed. Jessica, Sam, and Victoria answered wrong, causing their partners treadmills to speed up to a light jog.

"Would you assume Mike played multiple sports in high school?" I answered yes, but unfortunately got it wrong, causing Edwards treadmill to speed up. I gave Edward and apologetic look and mouthed that it was okay and winked at me.

"Would you assume Edward was a fan of classical music?" I answered yes and surprisingly got it right. So Edward liked classical music, interesting. Emmett, Alice, Jessica and Lauren answered wrong. Mike's treadmill jumped from a slow jog to almost a run. I could tell he was getting winded and wouldn't make it much longer.

The questions went on, Mike and Jessica were out first, then Lauren and Eric. Eventually, it was just Edward and I against James and Victoria. Both Edward and James were at a full sprint.

Julie had asked the last question and Victoria and I took our seats, I felt Alice squeeze my shoulders from behind as I watched Edward. He had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, but other than that you would never know the running was affecting him. The running went on for a little while longer until James started to wear down. Eventually he couldn't take the running any longer.

"Congratulations Edward and Bella, you are the first HoH's of the season!" Julie announced, I jumped up and took off running, jumping onto Edward who caught me with ease.

"You did it Edward!" I squeezed him tight and pumped my fist in the air as everyone surrounded us, cheering for us. James and Victoria looked pleasantly pissed.

"No Bella, we did it." Edward corrected me, finishing it off with a kiss to the forehead before he let me go on the ground. I blushed and bit my lip, catching Alice's glance.

We all made our way back into the house I had just finished showering when a male voice came over the loudspeaker. "Bella, Edward, please report to the Diary Room." Edward looked at me, his hair still slightly wet from his shower earlier.

We made our way into the Diary Room. Once there they asked us to sit down, handing us each a key to the HoH room, telling us the camera was rolling in just a few seconds.

"WE WON THE HOH COMPETITION!" We both shouted, holding up our keys up.

After giving each other a high five, we were able to leave the Diary Room to say the famous lines of every HoH winner.

"Who wants to see our HoH room?!" We said excitedly, everyone immediately flocked around us, following us up the stairs and into our room. The first room belonged to me, there was a large couch and a couple chairs all facing a king sized bed. The walls were a deep burgundy that had more a purplish tint to it than a red one. The bed had a crisp white duvet on it with pillows the same shade as the walls. On the coffee table was a basket full of some of my favorite things. My favorite book, Wuthering Heights, my favorite snacks and candies, and a letter from my dad. There was also a picture of me when I was little, my dad was crouched down in a front of me in police uniform, I had a giant cheesy five year old smile on my face and I was wearing my father's hat that was way too big and was cockeyed, covering one of my eyes.

"Oh! Little Bella is so cute!" Rose squealed, I heard someone scoff, I'm assuming it was Tanya, maybe Victoria or Jessica.

"Bella, you let me know whenever you need someone to come share that bed with you." James' voice sent a small shiver down my spine, but I tried to play it off.

I let out a small chuckle, "Very funny James." I said, feeling Victoria glaring daggers at me. Even though we hadn't been in the house a whole day yet, she had already set her sights on James, and his obvious affection for me didn't go unseen.

We made our way into Edward's room, which was decorated in green, almost the same shade as his eyes, and white as well. There was another couch in Edward's room, giving us the option of sitting in either his room or mine to talk with people. On the bedside table was basket full of Edward's favorite things and a letter from his parents. Next to the basket was a picture of little Edward, all dressed up in a baseball uniform that was covered in dirt and grass stains, Edward was looking so proud as he held up a small baseball.

I smiled at the picture. Eventually people started to filter out of the room. Alice and Emmett staying behind to talk, Edward and I had both decided we already liked them.

"Okay guys, so, I'm thinking alliance?" Alice said once we had settled down. Her and Emmett on the couch, Edward and I relaxing on his bed, I was popping some Raisinets in my mouth.

Emmett and Edward nodded their approval, "I'm so down for that." I said with a mouthful of candy, causing Edward to chuckle while he held his hand out, silently asking for some Raisinets. I poured some in his hand as Emmett began to speak.

"Definitely a good idea, I do think we should include Rosie and Jasper in on this alliance." Emmett brought up a good idea. I looked at Edward and Alice, we all nodded in approval. "Okay, I'll go talk to them since it was my idea." And with that Emmett left, bringing Rose and Jasper up with him.

The next day came around and it was time for Edward and I to make our nomination. I was laying in my bed when Edward walked through the door, a bowl of cereal in his hands.

"Okay, we need to figure out who we're going to nominate this week." I said, sitting up and leaning against the head board.

Edward nodded, I watched as his adam's apple bobbed up and down when he swallowed.

"Okay, so I'm thinking we get a weak player out first, you know try not to make enemies with any of the stronger players right off the bat. So, how about Mike and Jessica going up for eviction?" He said, plopping down on the couch.

I nodded, "That's definitely a good idea, as long as next week James and Victoria don't win HoH. He gives me the fucking creeps." I said, giving a dramatic shiver.

"Oh trust me, I want him out of this house just as much as you do. I don't like the way he looks or acts around you, and he's so arrogant." Edward stated, finishing off his bowl of cereal.

Edward and I hung out in our HoH room a little while longer, Alice and Jasper came up to hang out and we informed them of our plan, they agreed with it, as did Rose Emmett.

Around five pm, I finished my makeup and walked into Edward's room from our shared bathroom. "You ready to do this Nomination ceremony?" I asked, leaning against the doorway. Edward looked so good in a pair of coral chubbies shorts with an ivory button up shorts and a pair of Sperry boat shoes on. He turned around to look at me, and smiled as he took in my appearance. I had on a pair of skinny jeans with a simple purple tank top and some black flats.

"As ready as I'll ever be." He said before we made our way out the door and down the stairs.

"It's time for the nomination ceremony everyone." I said, watching as everyone made their way to the table.

"There are two keys in this nomination box. Bella and I will each turn one key, revealing on the screen the pictures of the people we have decided to nominate for eviction the week. I will go first." Edward said, reaching out and turning the key in front of him, revealing Mike's picture.

"I will now go." I stated, turning my key and revealing Jessica's picture. "Mike, Jessica, Edward and I have decided to nominate you guys for eviction. It is nothing personal, just what we feel is best for our game." I stated.

Everyone stood up and began to hug each other. Knowing the Power of Veto competition would soon come up.

Well, what do you guys think? Do you like it? If so, leave a review!

I hope to have another chapter up soon!
