Chapter One:
Bella's POV:
Today was cloudy, as usual. I woke and did my usual morning routine. Then I fixed the bed while Edward showered. H e got out of the shower and smiled at me, noticing me playing with my ring again. I smiled back and grabbed his hand, going downstairs to get breakfast.
So Edward proposed to me before we were off to college and all of us are engaged. A lot of things changed. We were more mature, we had futures, dreams. Only 2 things didn't change: 1) Emmett 2) My Relationship with Rosalie. Rose and I were never great friends, plus she was in front of her mirror 24/7, which really annoyed me. Other than that, Alice, Emmett and Jasper are really great friends.
The kitchen was full of orange stuff, orange decorations, orange furniture and even orange juice. I took my place beside Edward and sipped at my juice. Looking around, I saw Rosalie flipping her hair n different directions, Emmett making goofy faces, Jasper having breakfast like any normal human, and Alice fussing about how her length won't match with the new Halloween trends.
"I'm just so short!" Alice whined for the…10th time.
"Alice, if attaching you to those stretchy-torture beds would stop the whining, then consider it your Halloween present." I joked.
"Ha Ha, Bella, really funny." She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. I laughed and patted her on the head but she didn't look at me. I raised my brows at her and began thinking of ways to cheer her up.
"Hey, look, I'm spilling orange juice on my entire lame shirt, the one that you hate." I said as I turned the juice cup downward towards my shirt. She cracked a smile and laughed at my facial expression. She knew how much I hated feeling sticky.
Suddenly, I was lifted into the air. I looked up; Emmett held my arms while Jasper held my legs. I tried getting out of their grips, but they were too strong. I noticed that they were going outside, towards the…pool.
"Guys, what are doing?" I asked, my voice getting squeaky.
"We're helping you get un-sticky; we know how you hate it." Emmett said, a smirk appearing on his face.
"No!" I screamed, but too late. I was already flung into the air. Before I could suck in a breath, ice cold water ran through my air ways. My body went into shock as I tried thrashing through the painfully cold water. My limbs were limp, and pained from the effort I was making through the cold water. Strong arms were wrapped around my torso, pulling me upwards. As soon as my head broke through the surface, I automatically started coughing the water out of my lungs.
"Bella, Bella, are you okay?" Edward's voice said, I fluttered my eyes and looked at his worried face. He glared angrily at Jasper and Emmett, who were being scolded by their fiancés, well only Jasper was scolded. Emmett wasn't scolded by Rose, he was scolded by Alice.
Edward wrapped me in a blanket and led me back to the house. I showered and dressed in some warm spooky cloths that Alice got me. It was this black shirt with zigzag style sleeves and the words "Get Spooked" written in orange bloody handwriting. I wore black sweat pants and went downstairs, where Emmett and Jasper stood, hands behind their back and face to the ground. They lifted their eyes to look at me and Jasper started, "Sorry Bella, we had no intentions of hurting you at all."
"Yeah, bells, really no intentions of hurting you at all." Emmett said before he gave me his puppy dog eyes. I awed and hugged both of them. Then we went to the living room where the guitar hero game was set and ready to go. I smirked at Emmett who shrugged and waggled his brows at me, inviting me to play.
After breaking my super high score inn beating Emmett, Alice dragged us upstairs to put us in our Halloween customs. No, we aren't trick or treating! We are going to this huge party in the club in Seattle. I was dressed in a vampire custom. I wore a lack tube top that was decorated with red lace. I wore black leggings and a short blood red lacey skirt along side with black ballerina flats and a silky black cloak. Alice styled my eyes into Smokey red-black style and added blood red lip gloss, letting my hair loose; I was ready. To talk about what the rest dressed in as: Alice was some kind of zombie-in-style, Rose was a firewoman. As for the guys, Edward was my vampire boy, Emmett was a fireman and Jasper too was a zombie. Halloween party, here we come!
Emmett drove us to the club in his jeep. We were listening to all kinds of music on our way. The jeep was practically bouncing with our movement. Yeah, we were way excited. As we entered the club, the music was booming from every where. People were at the bar or dancing in their colorful customs. We immediately joined the crowd dancing and swaying with the music. Suddenly the Dj announced that Thriller was playing, and Edward and I knew the choreography deep in hour hearts, so we danced in the middle of the dance floor and people slowly joined us.
Edward and I were laughing our guts out. The night was extremely fun. We danced & had our drinks when Emmett decided to go trick or treating. We huddled together and watched him from a distance, muffling our laughs as one old lady hit him with her purse, saying he was stealing the kid's candies.
Emmett walked over by us, sad because he only got 5 or six candies. Of course us being the great friends we are, each took one, leaving him one single candy. He looked at it and shrugged. We cracked up, his face was hilarious.
So we rode the jeep when Alice decided we should to watch a movie, saying that Halloween 2 was running. We agreed, nothing can make Halloween but a good scary horror movie. We immediately headed to the theater.
After the movie, we decided that this was enough for one night, besides; I've never in my life stayed up this late. We were on our way to the car when Emmett said he saw something moving through the bushes and ran in to the bushes. We waited a long time before Rosalie followed him to the bushes. Suddenly we heard out a scream and we ran towards the bushes.
We divided, looking for them. I was growing worried, "Emmett?! Rosalie?!" I called as I made my way through the bushes. Suddenly I heard Alice's scream. I ran towards its source but there was nothing. I met Edward when I arrived there, his eyes were worried. "Maybe it's this year's Halloween prank, calm down, I-
And before he could complete his sentence, I saw a dark figure sneak up behind him. I screamed and pointed at it. It lifted something like a baseball bat and hit Edward on the head. I stifled a cry and tried to move my legs, but they were glued in their place. The dark figure approached me and sprayed something in my face. I felt dizzy and then sleepy, before slipping into blackness.
Edward's POV:
My head hurt like hell, as was the rest of my body. I was in the worst sleeping position. I tried lifted my hand but I couldn't; I couldn't feel my hands. I couldn't find my lids to open my eyes. Perfect.
Nothing in my body moved, it was as if I were paralyzed. I couldn't recall anything that happened last night. Maybe this is my very first hangover. Suddenly a rush of memories hit me.
Flashback:
"Hey! That bush moved!" Emmett said before running into the bushes. I heard Rose mumble, "Idiot" as soon as he left off. Well, I couldn't blame, I mean come on. A to-be lawyer actually chasing a squirrel. Give me a break.
We waited for about 10 minutes when Rosalie huffed and stomped to where Emmett's disappeared. We waited outside, probably waiting to hear Rose's scolding and Emmett's whimpering but instead we heard Rosalie's ear piercing scream. We automatically ran towards the bushes and separated, looking for both of them. I made my way through the bushes when I heard Alice's scream. I ran to its source only to meet Bella there. She was staring at me eyes wide, horror stricken. I hated seeing her like this, I tried calming her down, "Maybe it's this year's Halloween prank, calm down, I-
Before I could even finish what I was saying, she screamed and pointed at me, or something behind me. Before I could turn around, something made hard and painful contact with the back of my head. I fell to the ground, blackness enveloping me.
End Flashback
I had to move to find Bella, but I couldn't. I tried to open my eyes and this time with success. They fluttered and adjusted easily to a dimly lit room. The first thing I saw were blades of knives directed towards my face. I panicked and started breathing hard, where am I?
My eyes roamed around the placed, apparently I was tied to a chair, but that wasn't the reason that I couldn't move, something was wrong with me. I spotted a figure lying on the ground. I concentrated more to find out that it was Bella. I tried to move again but with no use, suddenly a deep voice erupted from…somewhere.
"Hello Edward, I want to play a game. Since it's Halloween, I've decided to give you and your friends my own gift, a test. All of your tests are the same, except for Bella. You're tied to a chair with a device locked to your face. As soon as your fiancé wakes up and frees herself, her mission will be saving you and the rest of your friends. None of you would be able to help her due to the poison that I've planted in your blood. If Bella manages to save all of you in 60 minutes, then you get to survive. If she doesn't, well…Your test is the power of endurance. If your heart beats increase, my device will increase in speed, slicing up your face, it's your choice."
Damn it! Just damn it.
