A/N: Hello fellow readers/writers/fan fiction fanatics. This is my first shot at writing a story, so I'm sorry if it sucks! The idea came to me while I was at work Saturday night… got a little hyper with the twin sister (who has a few stories up here somewhere) and I kind of came up with this idea for fun. But it seemed promising so I went for it.
I got this idea from the movie "Idle Hands", I advise you go watch it!!
(Edwards POV)
"But I'm so bored guys! Can't we please go out? Come on!!" Emmett whined like a kid from the kitchen.
"This is the last time Emmett… NO! Bella is here, she's tired and we are staying in… together! So quit your blabbering and find something to do!" Rose snapped back adding "Don't touch that TV! We are not watching any of your stupid macho action movies"
"Aww Rose! You're spoiling all my fun tonight!" Bellowed Emmett. I noticed Rose's eyes glare in the direction of the kitchen while she hissed "Spoiling all your fun am I? How about you sleep in the guest room for the next month or two and see how I spoil your fun then!"
He stumbled out of the kitchen, eyes wide and mouth agape. "Honey, you can't mean that!? Can you?"
"I can and I do." Rose shrugged and buffed her nails as if she were bored of the conversation.
"Okay! Fine! But if we stay here tonight, we play by the human rules and order pizza!" A puzzled look crossed his face before he asked "Bella… what toppings do you lot usually have?"
"Umm… cheese and… pepperoni? They don't have any bear I'm afraid!" Bella chuckled as she went to sit down on the couch with Alice.
"Tell you what, I'll just get the pizza place to make us a special one and see what they come up with?" He made his way towards the phone and dilled a few number.
The rest of us settled down around the couch's in the living room while Emmett ordered the special pizza. Why would he want us to eat pizza is anyone's guess seeing as it would taste like filth to us vampires anyway. But if it keeps Emmett happy for the rest of the night then I suppose we'll have to.
"Yeah… that sounds different…" I could hear pieces of Emmett's conversation with the pizza place from where I sat. "We'll give it a go! Thanks guys!!"
Forty minutes later Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, Bella and Edward are still gathered in the living room after having eaten 3pieces each of the pizza… the guy taking the order at the pizza place seemed to think that Emmett was a good guy and sent and extra two of the special pizzas with the one they had already ordered.
"Hey Emmett, what toppings did we have on these? They don't seem too bad compared to other food I've tasted." Asked Jasper who was sitting in an armchair looking relaxed while finishing off his last piece of pizza.
"They mentioned something about Oregano and I think Nutmeg? Not that I know what they are but they told me, and I quote" He cleared his throat "Why don't you try our special pizza, it's sure to make you and your friends feel good once your done" he shrugged as he leant back against the wall.
Bella sat up straight on the couch looking wildly around on each of our faces; I wonder what she's panicking about? I hastily made my way over to her and held her in my arms, trying to understand what she was mumbling. "Bella honey, slow down. Take a deep breath, start again, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong Edward? What's wrong? Don't you know that if you mix oregano and nutmeg together when they're cooked then they're basically drugs! They'll get us high! Were all probably high right now!" Bella dropped her face to her hands and I looked around the room to look at the others, they all looked sceptical and from what I could hear from they're thoughts I knew they didn't believe what se said.
"Bella… were all fine. You're over reacting. No ones under the influence of drugs. Oregano and nutmeg are just harmless herbs." I tried calming her down, all of us looked fine and I'm sure that even if they could make you high, it wouldn't work on us as were vampires.
Bella calmed down after a bit, said she was sorry for over reacting and lay down on the couch for a bit to take a little nap. The rest of us sat about the room chatting, Alice and Rose talking over a magazine they were studying and Jasper, Emmett and I talking about our next "hunting trip".
(10 minutes later. They are all still gathered in the living room, Bella is awake.)
I look around the room to see if any of the others are acting high or any differently from 10 minutes ago. Bella seemed so genuinely panicked about the oregano and nutmeg drug thing but I honestly didn't think it was true, even if it was, we vampires wouldn't get affected. I spotted Alice standing by the bottom of the stairs.
What the hell is she doing?! Why is my little hyper pixie of a sister flicking a lighter on and off like a true pyromaniac? I know she's… unique, but that's just… different. I suppose she's just bored too.
"The pool's empty… I can easily throw them out of my window and they'll land in there, that'd save me time and effort to carry them down… I am such a genius!" I look up at her as I hear what's running through her thoughts, and see that she's bouncing around the place like a kid who's eaten a tub full of sugar! I wonder what she's doing to go with the pool and a lighter…
Before I can get too interested in Alice's little plan my attention gets caught by Emmett. He's sitting in the corner of the room, by himself, facing the walls… it reminds me of when a child has been naughty and the mother sends the kid off to sit in the corner to cool down as punishment. But I doubt Rose has sent him over there… especially after he bought the pizzas as a sort of piece offering.
I try picking up on Emmett's thoughts to see if I can figure out what he's doing. All I pick up on is him thinking about crayons, thinking about Rose, no change there, and him thinking about a bear, maybe he's a little thirsty? We had been talking about our hunting trip, maybe he's still thinking about it?
My attention gets diverted from Emmett to watch Rosalie looking at her reflection in a full length mirror. Nothing surprising about that, but what is different is that instead of a huge satisfied smile on her face, there's a frown and a look of unease. What's wrong with her?
She's the most beautiful creature on this planet to males and females alike, except to me, no one holds a candle to my Bella. It's the same for Jasper and Alice, and Carlisle and Esme. But any human male would be left dazzled by Rose, and every female would wish she could be like her, or with her.
Rose's reaction to her reflection truly puzzled me and I hear her thoughts. I know I'm intruding but this is such and enigma to me that I need to know what's happening in that mind of hers.
"Maybe if I just slipped out of the room, I'd be back within a minute… But what if I liked them and didn't want to take them off? Hmm… I think I'd look cute in pigtails, or maybe if I platted my hair?" Rose frowns at herself looking at her reflection. She turns to her side to look at her profile side on and plays with a strand of her hair; she looks like the definition of model in her clothes, figure hugging, alluring, and accentuating her beauty. I wonder what clothes she's going to try, and why the change?
I spot her looking around to her left and I'm guessing she's checking the room to see if anyone would noticed if she slipped out, before she can look to her right, I look down so that she doesn't see me looking at her. By the time I look up again, I see that she's gone out of the room; I notice also that Alice has disappeared too. Gone to her room probably.
Jasper is still sat in the arm chair to my right. My beautiful Bella is sitting on the couch by herself flipping through a magazine, she doesn't look like she's taking much in, and I wonder what she's thinking about? Is she still thinking about the pizza topping thing?
"Rarr, Rarr… ROAR!!" I hear Emmett in the corner; I look swiftly up to see him with crayons of a variety of colours on the floor around him… WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING DRAWING ON THE WALLS?!! ESME WILL MURDER HIM!
"Yeah, take that you stupid bear! Think you can take me on? Ha! Think again fur ball!" Emmett mumbles to himself as he adds some red to his picture on the wall. It seems to resemble a bear, with some green and blue, perhaps he's drawn some trees or the sky? I can't clearly see what he's drawn because his huge frame is blocking everyone's view of it.
I always knew Emmett was a child at heart, he likes his games and pranks, but maybe this is one step to far… perhaps Emmett really pissed Rose off with the wanting to go out thing and he still thinks that Rose will punish him with the no sex for the next month or two. That really would be enough to make Emmett snap.
I ignore Emmett and his child like activities and concentrate my attentions back to Bella, I smile seeing her, drinking in her beauty. She's still looking at the magazine, but she's still on the same page as earlier. I wonder what she's thinking. I always wonder what she's thinking! I doubt she's still stressing out about the pizza thing still. It really wasn't a big deal.
I sigh, it can get frustrating sometimes when I ask her what she's thinking about and she edits, it is so much more difficult because her thoughts are so different to anyone else's. And I value her answers so much more above anyone else, even Carlisle. But she's happy with me not being able to read her thought and I suppose that in a way, it's better because I get to learn something new about her everyday and she gets her privacy.
She's spotted me looking at her, I smile my crooked smile at her and she smiles back at me with her dazzling smile that makes me wonder if she doesn't have our vampire power of dazzling our prey.
A hint of blush in her cheeks takes my breath away even when I don't have to breathe. She so beautiful that there aren't enough words in all languages combined to describe her in my eyes. I look down at my knees, thinking about how lucky I am to have her, my own personal angel.
I look back to her face, wanting to see her smile, see her glittering brown eyes… but why is she frowning? I can feel my forehead begin to crease as I try and figure out why she's gone from smiling at me to frowning, have I done something wrong? I look down at myself to see if there's something I've done, I can't spot anything so I look back at her to see that she looks mad at me now!
Shit it!! Why is she mad at me?! I'm panicking, big time now. It's not her birthday, there's no anniversary… does she want me to go sit with her? I make a move to get up and go to her when I see in her eyes that she's gone from being mad at me to furious. I slowly lower myself back down to sit as I was, leaning against the wall behind me and my arms around my legs.
"What the hell have I done to make her furious with me? Maybe I should try talking to her? Ask her what's wrong and try to make it better?"
"No idiot! Are you a complete dumbass? You do that, and she'll just tell you that you should know what's wrong already and that you're being insensitive! Don't you know anything about the way women think?!"
"But she's so pissed at me! She's crossed her arms against her chest"
"Look, I didn't want to be the one to break this to you Edward, but she's planning on giving you a punch right now, and if you don't know why she wants to physically hurt you, then your not a good boyfriend to her are you?"
"WHAT?! But if she punches me, she'll be the one to get hurt! Has she forgotten that I'm a vampire? My marble body would break her fragile little fist instantly!"
I rest my head on my knees, taking my eyes away from my angel with fire in her eyes, I feel myself getting agitated and panicked again at the thought of her punching me and getting hurt, and the fact that she wants to hurt me in the first place for a reason that I cant think of!
I hear a chuckle "Edward… what are you talking about? You're not a vampire!! Vampires aren't real!" I hear the chuckle again. "Vampires are just myths, to scare little children and to make good horror movies!"
"Vampires are real! I am a vampire!"
"No, your not Edward, don't be silly! I actually thought you had some sense in you?"
"You're lying! I am a vampire! How would you explain me being so pale then, as well as Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice?"
"And Bella, you forgot that Bella is pale too. You know she isn't a vampire, how'd you explain that Edward? She's just as pale and beautiful as the rest of you. Come now Edward, you know vampires aren't real, you didn't really believe those children's stories?"
"Um… no… of course I didn't, I just forgot that's all."
"That's good; I was starting to think you were getting a little crazy there! Oh and Edward…?"
"Yes?"
"Why does Bella have a knife in her hands? Does she normally handle a knife? Is she safe with that?"
My head shoots up and I look at Bella, she's sitting on the couch still but she's put the magazine down on the coffee table and she's just sitting there, staring down at her hands which are grasping each other.
There's no knife in sight, she wouldn't be foolish enough to just grab a knife and twirl it in her hands just because she's bored. Especially her being as clumsy as she can be, she even knows that! She doesn't trust herself with a pair of scissors!
"What knife? There's no knife. Why did you scare me like that?" I rest my head back down on my knees a run my hands through my hair to try and calm myself down.
"Oh my god, are you friggin' blind man? Don't you see that beast of a knife that your girlfriends got? Maybe you are really getting a little crazy Edward. First the vampire thing and now you can't see that knife? What, you think I'm making it up? Or that it's an invisible knife maybe?"
I shake my head, trying to clear my head, to block out the voice in my head… the voice sounds so familiar, maybe its someone I know, it can't be anyone in this room… is there someone else here? I look up and look around the room. No, no one else except for Bella, Jasper, Emmett and I. The voice sounds smooth, velvety smooth, almost exactly like… mine. This can not be good, I've just had an argument with myself… maybe the voice in my head, me, was right. Maybe I am going a little mad? Maybe I'm really not a vampire?
I look back up to look at Jasper, Emmett and Bella. She really is as pale as us, perhaps were all just semi-part albino? That would be a better explanation that the vampire thing, more sane, sensible.
I let out a breath. I feel calmer. I'm not a vampire, I'm not crazy… but does Bella really have an invisible knife in her hands? And does she still want to punch me? Maybe she's going to stab me! Shit!!!
I panic, I look up at Jasper to see if he can see the knife or not… he's looking alright, he looks a little on edge though, maybe he can see it?
Maybe it's because he's away from Alice; he's always the most at ease when he's got her by his side. She can level out his emotions in an instant. So I wonder why Jasper is here and hasn't gone with Alice, maybe she's planning something? Maybe Jasper isn't allowed in on the plan…or maybe that's why he's sitting there looking on edge, maybe he knows the plan, maybe he's supposed to act like a distraction for when Alice attacks!
I rest my head back down on my knees, trying to work out what's going on.
Bella has an invisible knife that I'm sure that I'm the only one that can't see it.
Jasper is still here and is totally on edge and is acting like a distraction for Alice.
Alice is in some other room… with a lighter. She was saying earlier how she'd throw something out of her window, into the pool because it'd save her from having to carry it down through the house.
Perhaps she's going to try and kill me!!! Throw me in the pool… then burn me! No bloody way am I giving up without a fight! Didn't she remember that I can read minds?
Rose… what was she saying about trying something on… maybe she's got to wear some kind of body suit to help Alice, like a camouflage suit so that they can sneak up on me?
That leaves Emmett… hmm… that's tricky. Perhaps they just left him there to amuse himself. He might be the target like me!
I hear a door open and look up sharply. Rose. She's just entered the room wearing a pair of baggy sweats and a t-shirt that's much too big for her. She has her hair in pigtails too. She doesn't look like the glamorous Rose that was looking at herself a few minutes ago in the mirror. But she does have a smile on her face. Perhaps she's hiding the camouflage suit under the baggy clothes! She'd never wear those by choice, or blackmail.
Emmett looks up at her and the look he gives her is as if he's never seen her before, his eyes glaze over with love and he looks down quickly like he's shy or something. What the hell? Emmett never gets shy with Rose!
"Emmett, what you doing? Esme won't like you drawing on her walls!" I hear Rose whispering to Emmett while he looks down at his hands which his twisting about nervously.
"Yeah, I know but I got borded and you wasn't here to play with. Um Rosie…" Emmett's now looking up and Rose, looking shy and vulnerable "Your much prdy today" Emmett smiles and looks down at his hands again.
Rose looks down too and plays with a piece of her hair. I hear her thoughts quickly "Emmie likes me? He call me prdy, much prdy!! Maybe he likes my new clothes! They is more comfy than my posh clotheses, no wonder Bella wears them, maybe I should tell Alice!" Rose smiles to herself and whispers back to Emmett "Thank you Emmie, you looks muchly prdy too!"
Emmett's face is now beaming like someone's switched a 100watt bulb on in his face "Rosie… do you… wanabemygirlfriendmaybe?" the words stumble out of his mouth in a rush and he sneaks a peek up at Rose's face to see her with a beaming 100watt smile just like Emmett had.
"Yeah Emmie, I wana be your girlfriend." Rose squeaks back with excitement and pecks Emmett on the cheek. She then turnes to grab a crayon to join him with his picture.
I take a deep breath and try to understand what I just saw. Rose and Emmett are married… but they just acted like 5year old kids!! "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" … maybe this is one of their sick sex fantasy stories playing out, god!! How wrong are they!
This is not the time to worry about them two, I got bigger fish to fry, if Alice is really after me with Bella and Jasper in tow, then I need to get working. They think they can out smart me? Let me just see them try!
First things first I need is some cover from the enemy…
Okay, what did you think? Review me and be honest. If you guy's thought it was any good, I was thinking I might do some other POV's too…
I reckon that Green Day's song "Paranoia" which I first heard in the movie "Disturbing Behaviour" fits well with this chapter.
Thank you x
