I don't own any of the Cullens, the books, or the movies unfortunately. It all belongs to Steph Meyers…
"I can't believe you are leaving me alone with Emmet for a week!" I pout. Edward chuckles and sits next to me on his couch, "It's been a while since Carlisle and I have had some father, son time. I also need to talk to him about some things privately…."
"Why can't I just stay at my house and or at the rez?"
Edward shakes his head, "Bella you know it is not safe for you to be alone with Victoria and you know Billy and Jacob went with Charlie for that fishing trip and the other wolves….I don't trust."
I sigh rolling my eyes, "They are perfectly safe…."
Edward raises his eyebrow, "How about that one wolf that almost attacked you…."
I scoffed, "Who? Paul? That was part my fault and he was only trying to scare me….I don't think he would have ever hurt me…."
Edward kisses my forehead softly and says, "Love. It would make me less worried about you if you stayed here with Emmett. I know he can be a pain in the ass but other than that he is harmless and with Rosalie going with Esme to Italy for some shopping, he probably won't even bother you because he can freely play video games all day…it would be like he wasn't here.…"
To tell you the truth I didn't really want to stay at the rez without Jacob being there but I didn't want Edward to know that. I know he still worries that I may have more than just friendly feelings about him. I try to convince him that my feelings for Jake were platonic only but Edward still has his doubts.
I sigh defeated, "Fine."
Edward smiles and kisses me passionately….my heart beat raises. He breaks away too soon and says leaning his head against my forehead, "I love you and I'll see you in a week."
I say, "Love you and I'll be waiting…."
He smiles kissing my lips again and sighs as he looks towards the door, "Carlisle is waiting for me. I should go…"
I tug his shirt, as if I could refrain him from going, kissing him again and he seems to get lost in the kiss but soon comes back to reality and breaks the kiss he chuckles and says, "The sooner I go…the sooner I can get back…."
I say, "Or we could just kiss all day and you don't go…"
He kisses my forehead, nose, and then my lips before saying, "As tempting as that sounds. I need to go or Carlisle is going to have my hide for missing the good wildlife…"
I kiss him one more time, "Okay go. I'll miss you."
He says as he gets up, "I'm already missing you. Love you." And before I could blink he was gone.
I slouch back into couch and grumble. Now what?
I then hear a loud bellowing laugh and door swings open and he quotes Edward, "I'm already missing you? I swear that boy has read too many Jane Austin book."
I throw at pillow at him but he catches it of course and I sigh frustrated. "Is that what you are going to do all week, annoy me?"
He flops on the couch beside, "Sounds tempting but I' m sure that will get old quickly."
I then grab my messenger bag next to me and dig in it to grab my phone to see if Angela or anyone had text me to do something tonight. When I did a sheet of paper fell out and Emmett quickly caught it before it hit the ground and the looks at me and raises an eyebrow and I say as I pull my phone out of my bag, "What?" As I look at my depressing phone with 0 text and missed calls.
He smirks, "I had no idea you were into witch craft..."
I roll my eyes, "I'm not…"
He then reads the sheet of paper "A Wiccan party at the Birch's house, if will be a Wiccan good time." He scoffs at the last part…."Wiccan instead of Wicked….how clever…." He said sarcastically.
I explain, "They are the new weird family of Forks High. Sits at the table you guys use to sit at, wears all black, and are very quiet except the few times they try to convert me to their religion. Jessica says they have Ouija boards and she is sure that it's them who sacrifice those animals people have been finding in the woods…" I raise my eyebrow at him
Emmett says, "Oh I forgot to bury a couple of animals that night and everyone gets in an uproar…..I was busy with Rosalie afterwards…."
I say, "Too much information."
Emmett then ask, "Why they want to convert you?"
I shrug, "They told me they could tell Edward was different and they thought I was special…"
Emmett says in a mocking tone, "Aww you are special."
I give him a sarcastic grin, "Shut up."
He grins like he is up to something, "Let's go."
I roll my eyes and say, "To that party...eh no."
He says, "Why not? Better than sitting in this empty house all week."
I look at him curiously, "Why do you want to go? Are witches real?"
Emmett says, "Yes but it's hard to pick out the real ones from the fake ones and they normally are very private with their witchcraft. I've personally never met one….."
He then nudges me on the arm making me fall over on the couch and then gets up, "Get ready! Wear something dark….maybe a cloak….I don't know something a witch would wear…."
He then leaves the room in a swift and I sigh. I'm going to regret going to this party but he has made me curious….who knew witches were real too. Frankly I should not be surprised since my closest friends are werewolves and vampires but it still surprises me to find out that there are others out there….
_
Emmett drove Carlisle's hybrid. He explained that witches are probably tree huggers and wouldn't be too please if he drove up in his big Jeep.
I wore a black long sleeve tee shirt and my dark skinny jeans with my black converse. It was dark clothing….though Sabrina the teen age witch always wore pink and bright colors so did Samantha on B-witch….Witches aren't necessary gothic….I don't think. Emmett wore a black Ozzy Osborne teeshirt and dark jeans…he thought the Ozzy shirt would make him fit in more...
I knocked on the door and Maria, who had dark tanned skin, long dark hair, and brown eyes, open the door and her eyes brighten when she sees me, "Bella you came! Jack had told me but I never believed him…." I had never told Jack that I was coming maybe he is psyche like Alice.
Though her smile falters when she looks at Emmett. I look over to him and he just shrugs, Maria then says, "Come in." We follow them in and the house dark with candles lit everywhere….
She then talks to the others in a language I could not recognize and then I notice everyone look at Emmett. David, Maria's brother, speaks in the same language and everyone smiles nodding. Maria says, "Come sit in the circle."
I whisper to Emmett, not trusting these people, "Maybe we should go….." I was pretty sure they wanted to do something to Emmett….
Emmett nudges me towards the group and whispers low enough that only I could here, "Don't be silly. Pretty sure they are just wannabe witches…"
I hoped he was right and we sat in the circle and was ask to hold hands. I hesitantly held the guy's hand next to me and Emmett. They then all started to chant in that language I couldn't understand. I then hear Emmett whisper, "Oh shit…" I look at him and his eyes were widened and he looked almost ill. Then the candles went out a. We were in the dark….Emmett's hand released mine and then within seconds the candles lit…themselves. I gasp looking around and then notice Emmett was slumped over, his eyes were closed shut….
I shake Emmett, "Are you okay?"
I notice the people around me were smiling…seeming pleased with themselves.
I demand, "What did you do?"
Maria says, "Bella he will be fine…we just put a tiny little spell on him."
I ask carefully, "What kind of spell?"
David smiles, "We turned him into human….first time we've done that…"
I say, "You know he is…." I trailed off not sure if I may say too much
Maria nods, "We knew Edward was and knew he followed you around like a puppy dog….which is why we invited you to come….because we knew he would follow though you surprised us with a different vampire."
I say looking down at Emmett's slumped body, "How long will he be human…."
David says in fake eerie voice, "Forever!"
Everyone giggles and then Maria nods but then laughs with everyone else. I wasn't sure if David was serious or not.
I shake Emmett trying to wake him up finally his eyes flutter open and he groans, "What happened?"
I heard a few smirks in the group and Emmett stands up and look around, he rubs his eyes and I stand up, "Emmett?"
"What did you little witches do to me?" No one said anything just smiled with their pleased looks on their faces.
Emmett grab the collar of David's shirt pulling him up, he was his tiptoes looking up at Emmet and he was now frightened and Maria stands up her voice now shaking, "Please don't hurt him. We just put a little spell on you…"
He looks at Sam still having his hand on his shirt collar, "What kind of spell?"
"Changed you into a human…" he says and Emmett lets go of David shoving him into the group.
Emmett glares at everyone, "Change me back or I will tell my leader…."
Maria says, "We can't….it has to wear off…."
I reply, "But you said it was forever…"
She shakes her head, "We were kidding…it only last for a week or so….two weeks at the most."
Jack who was Maria's younger brother says, "I knew we shouldn't have done it….mom told us not to mess with vampires."
I could see in Emmett's eyes that he was about to go insane and even though he was human now….he was still big and I knew he could do some damage.
I grab his hand which almost caught me off guard with how warm it was and say, "Let's go Emmett…."
Emmett says as we head to the door, "One thing I know about witches is you can't put more than one spell on me so if it in a week I am not back to a vampire….I will kick all of your asses…."
The front door opens before we could get to it and an older woman who I always assume was their mother was standing there with an angry expression. "I come home and find out you are having a party in which you invite a human and a immortal to?"
Maria says, "But mother…."
She shakes her head, "Don't but me. You know how dangerous this is….we have an agreement with the Cullen's if they don't bother us we don't bother them and you just broke that agreement!"
She then turns to us her face softens and she says, "I apologize for my children…"
Emmet replies, "Well doesn't change that I am still a human. Can you change me back?"
She shakes her head, "I'm sorry but I can't the only way to change yourself besides waiting for the spell to wear off is kill yourself…when that happens the spell breaks and the venom will take over and transform you back into a vampire."
Emmett laughs humorlessly, "Lady don't screw with me. I know you just trying to get me killed…."
She shakes her head, "No I'm not…I would not try to get you kill…Your family is way more powerful than mine….that is why we have the agreement…we won't put spells on your family if you don't hurt us."
Emmett says, "Well looks like you broke your agreement."
She says, "Well I don't mean to be disrespectful but you did come to my home…"
I grab the invite they gave me out of my purse and reply, "Because they invited us…well technically they invited my boyfriend and I….we didn't know they were real witches…"
She grab the flyer out of my hand and turn around to the group which was about 10 of them about 7 of them looked to be college age…I wonder if they were all biologically related or not she says in almost a growl and her latin accent comes out even more, "You invited them? So you actually sought them out…..WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
They all backed up with looks of fear and she looked back at us calmer but you could tell she was trying to keep in the anger, "Again I apologize and will talk to Carlisle if I have to….the spell though won't last long….they are young witches their spells are weak."
I nod, "Okay…..did they put any kind of spell on me?"
She shakes her head and says, "The reason Carlisle and I had the talk is because Edward had caught Jack trying to put a love spell or some junk spell on you and he couldn't because you immune to witchcraft."
I look over at Jack and he was beet red and Emmett says to him "I ought to pound you for that…"
I then grab Emmett's arm, "Let's go."
Emmett made sure to give them one last glare before leaving the house.
When we get outside I say, "Let me have the keys."
Emmett says, "No."
I respond, "Come on Emmett. You don't know the side effects the spell may have. I know you may get your vampire life back if we crash but this is the life I only have and I'm not ready to die just yet."
Emmett sighs but throws me the keys and says as he gets in the passenger side, "Not sure your driving is going to make us any safer…."
I say on our way back to the Cullen's, "So can I kill you? Will fulfill one of my wildest dreams…"
He smirks, "I bet it will and no. I don't trust that witch….."
I explain, "She wouldn't lie and try to really get you kill…..she seems to be a bit threaten by Carlisle."
He shrugs, "Maybe that was all an act to make us believe they had some sort of agreement but quite frankly he has told us nothing about witches being in this area…"
I reply, "Maybe he was afraid that you would get too curious and go to a Wiccan party and get yourself in trouble…"
Emmett says, "Oh shut up."
I giggle and he then yawns, "Man I have not been tired in ages!"
I smile at him as we pull into the garage next to Carlisle's black Mercedes.
He then looks over at me and says, "Let's do something?"
I say, "Like sleep?"
He shakes his head, "Nah not ready to sleep yet and waste 8 hours of my human life…"
I say getting out of the car, "You were just complaining about being human….I would think you would want to waste as much time as possible to get back to your vampire form…"
He gets out and says, "Granted I don't want to be human forever but might as well have fun while I am…."
"Let's go to Las Vegas for a week…." He suggest.
I shake my head no, "A week?, my dad would kill me if he found out I went to Vegas! He still not over me going to Italy"
He says, "Next week is your spring break."
I mention, "But I have to work…." I say coming in to the house.
He says, "You don't need that stupid job. Why do you like working with that perverted little boy…."
I turn and glare at him, "He just has a little crush on me that's all….he is not a bad guy."
Emmett purses his lips and says, "You haven't been inside his brain…"
I say, "Nor have you…."
Emmett responds, "True but my brother aka your boyfriend has and told me some stuff…."
What 18 year old boy has not had perverted thoughts in their mind and Emmett had no room to talk. I respond, "I'm not going to Vegas we can't even gamble or legally drink…"
He says, "We can with the proper ID's."
I say, "I'm sure Las Vegas Casinos are much trained in spotting fake IDs."
He explains, "How do you think we enroll in school, buy cars….we have to have the documentation….very legit looking documentation…"
I say, "And how do we get that documentation?"
He said, "Follow me…"
I do as I am told and head upstairs into Carlisle' s office I respond as Emmett starts digging through a filing cabinet, "Carlisle is going to kill you if he finds out you are rummaging through his things."
He smirks, "He is already going to kill me for messing with witch craft."
He then pulls out two files, "Found them" and hands a file to me that was titled, Swan, Bella.
I look at him confused why Carlisle would have a file on me but lay it on his desk and open it up, there were 5 or 6 legit looking ID's, from several states. I pick up the California one that said, I was 21, inspecting it. I asked, "Why does he have documentation for me?"
Emmett shrugs, "Just in case. No telling what could happen and you have to be 21 and sometimes as old as 25 to do some things" I noticed some had different names on them but I chose the one saying Bella Swan. Emmett grabs an ID and then puts both files into the cabinet.
I sigh, "I still haven't decided whether or not I am going."
Emmett says, "Come on you need to do these types things while you are still human…they are less enjoyable as a vampire…."
I throw my arms in the air looking up at Emmett, "This is insane…just randomly going to Vegas and really you want to go to Vegas for your human experience. Why not Disney World or sunny beaches?"
Emmett explains, "They have theme parks I'm sure around in Vegas and I've swam almost all the oceans and seas at least once….but I always wanted to play black jack or the slots….never could do that as a vampire because there are way too many people in those casinos…not safe for a vampire to be in enclosed crowded places. "
I could not resist those puppy dogs eyes looking at me…pleading to go and I sigh defeated, "Alright but I know we are going to regret this….."
He grabs the side of my face and kisses my forehead, "Thank you Bella! Now get packing be best if you pack the clothes that Alice has for you in Edward's closet!"
The expensive high end clothes that I refuse to wear but Alice keeps buying for me, she is says she is just building up my wardrobe for when I become a vampire…if that ever happens.
