Playing With Fire

Chapter One

For Kicks

Bella's POV

I stared out the jet's window- the plane ride was terrible, but I learned some new things about my twin brother. I knew that he dreamed of mutant squirrels, and cheerleaders. I already knew about the cheerleaders, but I hadn't expected the squirrels. Turns out I wasn't the only person that talked in their sleep.

I searched the ground below, hoping to spot my father's pickup truck. I was thrilled that I was going to be spending a whole year with him. "Emmett." I poked my brother, trying to get him to wake up, with no sucess I might add.

Emmett, twisted in the seat, facing me now, and I snickered. He could stay on the plane, I thought as we landed. Still, he slept through it. I shook my head, trying to envision my father's responce to the two horses that were delivered to his home this morning. I hoped Wild Fire and Snow Flake weren't to terrible.

Who was I kidding? Both the horses had been abused, and me and Emmett both shared a deep connection with the horses from the time that we first saw them as spindly legged foals. Wild Fire was a dark bay arabian, about 16 hands, with black legs, and a black mane and tail- and he was mine.

Snow Flake, was Emmett's horse- am appaloosa, black, with a white blanket covered in black spots. (AN~ If you want the pics, e-mail me at - and I'll e-mail you to them- it's easier for me, because I don't have high speed internet, yet!) Emmett loved the horse, and I did to. She was a real sweetheart. If she trusted you.

I could ride Snow Flake, but Emmett couldn't ride Fire. I smiled remembering the day that Em tried to ride him. He couldn't even get into the saddle until I held onto my horse. Then the bucking started. Emmett wasn't seriously hurt. Unless you counted his pride. Which I did not.

"Emmett!" I yelled at him, and he jerked up. "We're here." I said, grabbing my bag from the overhead compartment, and practically skipping off the plane. I couldn't wait to go the ranch. My dad said it was completly different, but I didn't care. I wasn't too concerned with how the place looked.

When Emmett finally joined me, we got our luggage, and I spotted the black chevy truck immeaditly. but I did not spot my father. I shrugged, and tossed the bags into the bed when I spotted the box. I opened the lid and peeked in. There were two puppies in there that caught my attention. "Oh- aren't they cute Em?" They were white german shepards. My favorite kind of dog.

He picked the other one up. "Are you the Swans?" A velvety voice asked, and I met a pair of emerald green eyes. "I'm Edward Cullen. Cheif Swan sent me to pick you up."

So what do you think? I do not know when I'll be able to update, so I'll make you a deal. If you want an update soon, I'll e-mail you the chapters, I don't know if I can post with my mother at the house. She's ready to ban this website.

Just send me a message with your e-mail, private or what ever... I swear I won't stalk any of you- I'm not really into that ;) I know that it isn't long, so thanx for listening to my endless rambling.
