Disclaimer: Any recognizable characters are not mine, even if I really wish they were (sad face) only the story belongs to me. They say dreams are the middle ground to reality. Well my reality must be pretty fudged up if my dreams came up with this? . lol

I'll update when I can, but life is full so I can't promise it'll be regular as sunshine, but I will update.

I write with music playing, but I don't do playlists, so you'll have to figure out what works for you?

and I really have at this moment no freaking clue where this story is going to end up at, so maybe you don't mind being my wingman and flying by the seat of your pants with me along this journey?

First Fiction, please be kind, constructive criticism is always good, but telling me I have an effed up mind, isn't going to help. I already know that.

Now, on to the story? xoxo

_BBE_

The subtle light overhead illuminates the board below where a vicious battle of wit and stubbornness plays out. The two siblings locked in a stare that could make a sun go nova in 2.3 seconds.

Bella's hand covers the silver, gleaming piece of metal, so that her brother can't move it. "Emmett, I told you no! That's an illegal move and you know it" she practically growls at him.

He on the other hand grins impressively at her. "Oh bellybean, you know I don't cheat, that piece there can move sideways and front ways for two spaces as long as there's nothing in front of it. Now place nice, we know you don't like losing"

She takes another few seconds before the younger sibling finally huffs and throws all the pieces off and to the ground. Crossing her arms, she makes her way over to the porthole to look out at the vast expanse of space. "I hate you big brother, you always win, can't you be nice?"

"Awe sis, if I let you win, then what will you learn? Dad wouldn't be happy if I just gave you the win. What is it he always says? "he looks over at her with sympathy and sadness.

Bella groans and rolls her eyes, "anything worth having is worth learning, working, and fighting for" they both say simultaneously. She chuckles lightly and sticks her tongue out at him over her shoulder "I guess I have to love you, heavens knows no one else does." She grins widely up at him while he playfully pouts back at her, loving to give her whatever she needed from him. She is his closest friend, confidant and the person above all persons he loves most. He would die for her without even giving it pause, because he knows above all else, she, his loving, feisty and doting sister would do the same for him. And that is a rare thing in the world they live in.

"I miss mum Emmett, she would have loved it out here" wiping a small tear from her eyes, pointing to the beautiful colors in the distance. "She always loved the beauty and mystery of deep space."

Emmett walked over to his sister and wrapped her in his large, solid arms and kisses her on top of her head. "Oh bellybean, you're right, she would have loved it out here. She's here though, watching us, I'm sure of it; she would never willingly leave us completely." He takes a quiet minute hugging her close, stroking his muscular fingers through her chestnut, hip length hair, and his chin resting softly on the top of her head. He was a good foot and a half taller than her and had to bend slightly at the waist just to be able to comfort his slight of stature sister, seeing her moistened brown eyes in the reflection of the window "can't you feel it? The warm spot in your chest right now, pinging its soft pulse, that's her letting you know how much she sees you still, and letting you know she loves you."

She chuckles at him "Bubbabear, that's your overgrown ape arms and my heartbeat you're pointing out"

He starts to playfully knuckle her head, when he hears her gasp. "What is it bellybean?"

With a shaky finger she points out the large, person sized porthole. "Emmett, what are they doing here? I thought the treaty was intact?"

"I don't know sis, hang on let's see if we can get dad through the comms" he walks over to a small ecru colored console beside the wall and presses a few buttons. Crackling comes through the speakers in the cabin.

"Kids, I know, don't speak over the comm, I'll be right there" a clearly strained but deep commanding voice comes over the room. The siblings just stare at each, a look of in trepidation being exchanged.

The pair didn't have to wait long as the cabin door opened and in walked a tall and well-built older man, with a look of intense frustration and worry on his mustached face.

"Kids, the Quiluetes are here, I'm not sure why, but they seem to be taking an aggressive stance towards us." The man runs his hand worriedly over his face, "I need you to quickly pack up your things, only what you really need alright. I've got pod 73C on standby for you two, trajectory already programmed in, please wait there until I say it's safe, you know the drill Emmett. If I say leave you strap your sister in, even crying and screaming if need be and you hit that eject button. Do I make myself clear? I don't know what these guys want, but I'm going to find the Admiral and find out."

He looks at them both solemnly and hugs them tightly with so much love and warmth afraid that they may lose the only other parent they have left. "I love you both so much, please never forget that, you are my guiding stars forever. Now go, do what I need you to do, and I'll see you soon, I promise"

The man rushes off and leaves his children behind, to get ready to abandon ship if necessary. Bella screams and cries trying to rush off after her father, but her mountainous brother grabs her and holds her, keeping her safe to spite herself.

Cooing to her, he calms her "bellybean, come on he loves us, he'll be right back, and this is nothing more than a drill honest. There's nothing to worry about, come on, you wouldn't let your big dumb brother be left to pack everything? What if I forget a toothbrush huh? "

She giggles softly and leans into him for just a moment to regain her senses. "Bubbabear, you're not allowed to pack, you know this. Last time you did, you packed nothing but food. We had to wear the same clothes for a week! I refuse to be that stinky ever again."

They each ran off to their rooms to pack up what they can per procedure they grab bits of things when a bang and shudder come to their cabin.

Bella screams and they look at each other, then quicken their pace grabbing memory pieces, as they know this is the real thing this time.

"Are you done Bella? We need to go, like now! "He grabs her hand and lugs her bags over his shoulder to accompany his own. They race down the hallways of the ship, up and down stairs, going the back way that their father showed them.

The ship tilts to the side and they can hear screaming in the distance, Emmett practically drags Bella forward. As they nearly reach the capsule, another shudder and screaming with metal scraping metal sound far too close for their liking. Bella loses her grip with Emmett going through a tunnel where steam is heating up the air and making it impossible to see, red lights blanketing the color of the smoke. She screams out to her brother before another hand captures hers.

"I got you baby girl, let's go" Charlie helps her stand up and they take off meeting up with Emmett. "Get in kids, now! "

The three make their way into the capsule and Bella stores all the bags under the compartments, while Emmett and Charlie work on getting the capsule up and moving. The ship is still shuddering and is starting to lose power; it's listing slowly to the side.

"Emmett! Get your sister buckled in now then follow suit, we gotta get out of here before the debris field traps us."

The bear like boy nods affirmative and picks her up like she was a doll and plants her in her chair buckling her up. He sits and follows the same procedure, then looks up into his sisters' face. She is crying silently, he mouths softly to her "It'll be ok I promise"

Just as their father was getting ready to punch the button, a severe knocking and banging on the capsule door, followed by a high pitched squeal coming through the door alerting them to the fact that there was someone needs their help.

"Help me! Please! Don't let me die!" Emmett and Bella gasp as they recognize the voice, and he immediately unbuckles and opens the door, pulling the scared little pixie-esque female into the space.

Charlie yells from up front towards the girl "Anyone else Alice?" his fingers working frantically on the controls.

Tears streaming down her face, "no Sir, they're gone, they're all… just… gone" Emmett gets her to the seat beside Bella's and straps her in securely. The girls reach out their hands together holding each other's tightly, tears streaming down both of their faces while he straps back in.

Charlie nods giving the girls a sympathetic look before hitting the button to launch. A small hiss sounds from all around them, then heavy metal clicks in a circular fashion and then there's a half second free-fall before the jets kick in and they launch away from the crunching and grinding of their previous home being ripped apart.
