Alice why exactly are we in North Carolina? Asked Edward
Because dear brother we came to visit the gates of hell.
Edward with a dumbfounded look on his face, Alice its official you've finally cracked, you've lost your mind.
Alice getting defensive & annoyed" I have not, now leave me alone, let me drive & stay out of my head if you don't mind.
Ok fine little miss grumpy I'll just back here with Bella & enjoy my self. Edward sits back and pulls Bella on to his lap.
Ok whatever; just don't do anything obscene, rude or uncalled for.
Alice shut up, growled Edward getting annoyed.
Why should I? Alice asked grinning.
Because I said so & you are extremely annoying, Edward says getting irritated.
Fine, don't talk to me for the rest of the car ride. Alice starts pouting.
Bella? Edward whispered in my ear.
Hmm?
I love you.
I love you too Edward.
Would you happen to know why Alice dragged us all the this way to see the "gates of hell"? And what is the Gates of hell anyway?
Yes actually I do know her reasoning for once.
Ok, what is it?
Ok, The last time Alice spent the night at my house so got really bored & decided to play on the internet, so she googeled haunted places around the world and up popped a place called Helens bridge in Ashville, North Carolina. Well anyways the legend goes that this woman was accused of witch craft and was chased down the mountain by the people who lived there and to save herself and her child, which she left in her cabin in hopes that someone find her and take care of her, she jumped off the bridge, when she jumped the gates of hell opened up for her to enter, and ever since that night people say that if you walk out onto the bridge where she jumped you'll hear the gats creak open, smell sulfur & feel like you are falling. That's the gates of hell.
Nice, Edward said with a slight smile on his face, this could get interesting.
Yeah, I agree, I said as I put my head on Edward's chest
Hey Jasper where are Emmett & Rosalie? Asked Bella inquisitively
Are you sure you really want to know? Jasper asked with a sickened expression.
Ok, never mind I get the point, sorry I asked. Shuddering
Hey, why did they get to stay at the hotel and we get dragged out shopping? Edward whined
Because Rosalie didn't want to go. Replied Alice
Wait Rosalie turned down a chance to go shopping? Dumbfounded. Alice what's wrong with this picture?
IDK my bff Jill.
But she always wants to go.
I don't know Bella she sounded kind of upset when I called; I think she was pissed at Emmett for something.
I wouldn't doubt it, so which shops are we hitting first?
I'm not sure Bella, let go in and find out what is here. Alice starting to get excited. The guys on the other hand start grumbling trying to find a way out of going into the mall so they can hide out till they're done shopping, which didn't work.
(2 hours later back at the car loading everything into the trunk of the Volvo)Alice could you have bought anymore clothes? Edward griping.
Yes, why do you ask? Completely oblivious to the meaning of the question.
Never mind just take us back to the hotel, to our separate rooms, please. Edward growled getting very annoyed.
Ok, ok. Party pooper, we can go back now. Slightly hurt by her brothers harsh words.
