Chapter 2: The Chainsaw Comes to Life
I woke up with the bed feeling quite warm. I sat up and looked around, Edward was no where to be seen. My eyes flashed all over the room to find him, when my eyes landed on Angela. She sat in her bed, reading, with no Ben at her side. "Angela where's..." She held up her hand to cut me off. "They're downstairs in the 'special room' getting food from our bags. They said they'd be back in a minute." She said, not taking her eyes off her book. I sighed and pulled out the book that gave me the idea for this wonderful, evil plan of mine.
I had only read a single page when Emmett walked in, Edward and Ben tailing him. "You need something Em?" I asked putting away my book.
"Yeah, Ed said you figured out how Jazz is going to 'die'. I want to know." He whined
I smiled "I think that any new death that I think of will be hidden until the time they happen. I have to tell Jasper because its how he is going to die. Edward I'll tell later because I can't keep things from him, and you know Alice has her ways to find out. But if you want to know so badly, go ask Alice, because I'm not saying a thing after word. i want you to get the full unexpected and shocked feelings when it happens, and if you wait it will be well worth the wait." I got up and walked around a frozen in place Emmett, and walked over to Edward who had my breakfast. A strawberry and banana smoothy and a real banana. "Thanks." I whispered and pecked him on the lips. He gave me my favorite crocked grin and I walked out the room, while eating my breakfast.
Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett had the room next to us on our right. I had just finished my banana and was about to knock on the door when Alice ripped it open and dragged me inside. "What's the rush Alice?" I asked, but I already knew. She saw what I had planned for Jasper. "Bella I saw what you have planned for Jazz and its perfect! I got a bottle of the stuff last night. Just don't ask what its made of or how I got it." She let go of me and walked over to her purse to revile a large white bottle of liquid. "Thanks Alice, but now I have to go tell Jasper. You know where he went?"
"Their all down in the 'special room' doing somethings while they still can. Our 'special guests' are still sleeping and as long as we keep the noise down they wont wake up until noon." I gave her a final nod and walked out of her room. i was about to head downstairs when I head four different snores. Wait 4! Wow, thats a shocker. I quickly made it down to the basement and crawled under the old wooden chest the boys put in the way of our secret hole. Jasper and Emmett were the X-box 360, playing some game kind of Bond game. I knew nothing of it. Rose was reading a fashion magazine and Angela and Ben were talking lightly on the bed further away from the X-box 360.
Two cold arms suddenly were wrapped around my waist. "Hi Edward" I said.
"Good morning love." He said and kissed my forehead.
"Love?" He asked. I turned in his arms to face him. "When will you tell me what you have planned for Jasper?" His eyes were pleading me.
"Soon Edward. Right now i have to tell him so he knows what happens to him." I light kissed his lips and pulled from his embrace. "Jasper." I called. His head perked up right as Emmett paused the game.
"I need to talk to you about what's going to happen to you." He nodded and walked with me into the other basement. I pulled out a pad of paper and a pen. I could feel the confusion radiate off of him, literally. "Jasper your sending off confusion waves." His head dropped and then came up with a apologetic look upon his face. "Its cool Jasper, I got this paper and pen so I can tell you how you 'die' without the other hearing. I want it to be a surprise. Had Alice shown you the bottle?"
"Yes she did, but there was no tag on it as to what it was, and Alice wouldn't let me see it so I couldn't smell it." I smiled and silently gave a thank you to Alice. I turned around and wrote on the paper, then showed it to Jasper. He looked at it and his face changed drastically. "You mean I have to drink that stuff?" He asked quietly. I nodded. "It wont effect you in any way right? i mean you guys are already dead so it can't hurt your body, and you can just throw them up later. Right?"
He nodded. "It wont hurt me but I will have to throw it up later."
"Well when you do it make sure that it very far from here so no one finds the evidence." He nodded again and crawled back through the hole. I then decided to go see Alice on our clothing detail. I came up out of the basement door and walked to the stairs. As I began to climb then I could faintly hear four different snores again. These guys must need a lot of sleep! I sighed and climbed the last step and walked over to Alice's room.
For the second time today, I got grabbed and dragged into her room. "Bella, I already know what your going to ask. We need at least one of the four of them to see you and Edward in your other clothes before 'the attack'. I think that you should wake up Jessica so she sees you. If you do one of the others, it'd be really bad. Also call Edward up so we can get him ready too." She dashed off to her oversized closet and began to look through two racks of clothes. I pulled out my cell and call Edward.
"Hello." His voice was slightly annoyed.
"Edward, you alright?" I asked a little worried. I heard him sigh on the other end of the line.
"Sorry love, its just Jasper and Emmett hollering at the X-box 360 and at each other. I beginning to get a headache."
"You know that you could just leave right, and I called because Alice needs us so she can work on our clothes."
"Alright love, I'll be right up." The line then went dead. I closed my phone and sat on the bed, as Alice ran all over the room trying to get ready.
Suddenly, clothes were thrown at me and the bed. "You might want change before Edward gets here." Alice called. I sighed but obeyed. The clothes that she gave me (or thrown, which ever you prefer) weren't that bad. It was a pair of black skinny jeans with a midnight blue, spegetti strap shirt.
I had just finished when Edward came in. "Love, you look stunning."He said and wrapped his arms around me. I blushed and he chuckled, "I love that blush."He said and stroked my check.
"I don't need to see my brother do those things Edward!" Alice called.
"Then maybe now you know how I feel, like when you and Jasper or Rose and Emmett do those things!" He retorted back at her. She huffed and grabbed the clothes on the bed and threw them into Edward's arms.
"Go change." She growled.
"As the physic pixy commands!" He said before laughing. He quickly kissed my check and ran out the door.
"Bella." Alice said as she reappeared at my side. "I going to quickly do your makeup and then you bring in breakfast to the morons. remember to wake up Jessica." I nodded and unwillingly sat in her chair of doom.
****
One hour! One flippen hour! A few minutes my ass, she's dead! "Alice are you done yet?" I whined, one could only take so much from her. She fiddled with a bit of eyeliner and then stepped away from my face.
"Yes I'm done, you can get up now." She walked away and I stretched. I was so stiff, it hurt. I ground and pulled out my cell.
E-
Alice is done with me. Where are you?
B-
His reply came back in a second.
B-
I've been waiting in our room while Alice tortured you. Is it safe to come out now?
E-
I smiled and began to type back.
E-
Yes but hurry, 'before' she comes back! Take ma away!
B-
Just as soon as I sent it Edward burst through the door and picked me up bridle style. "Hurry Edward!" I said between laughs. "Before she comes back!" He chuckled and ran us into our room. While holding me with one arm he pick up a old desk and placed it in front of the door. He then took us over to the bed and set me down, bringing my lips to his. Our lips moved in harmony as his hands trailed up my thais and my hands weaved themselves into Edward's hair. I leaned back and he crawl on top of me, pulling my legs around his waist. The whole time our lips were connected.
Suddenly we heard a knocking on the door. "Edward...Bella, come on make out session over."Alice said from outside the door. I felt my face get hot and detached myself from Edward's lips, but he just moved on to my neck. My back began to arch itself and Edward smiled in the crock of my neck.
"I don't think I want or can leave Alice." I said putting a lot of emphasis on 'can'. I heard her stomp her foot and try to push the door open.
"Edward open this door and don't mess up Bella's makeup or I'll have to do it all over again." I shot up and Edward stopped kissing my neck.
"I refuse to ever sit in that chair of yours, and be your little dress up doll ever again!" I yelled.
"Well then don't mess it up, and you need to wake up Jessica and give them their breakfast. "We both groaned. Edward got up and moved the desk. and I gave his a chaste kiss. "I'll see you in a few minutes." I whispered to him. He smiled and opened the door to a very angry looking Alice.
"Its about time, I though that you two would never come out." She said and placed a tray in my hands. I scowled at her and mumbled "I wish." I walked out before I could hear her reply. Jess and her friend's door was already open so I just walked in. I saw Jess on the left bed with Mike. I mentally threw up, I didn't want to be here. So I just kept thinking 'its only for today'. I took a deep breath and walked over to their bed. I shock her and she began to stir.
"Jess," I whispered. "I got you guys breakfast."
She opened her eyes and propped herself on a elbow. "Thanks Bella, what time is it? Do you know?"
I pulled out my cell and checked. "Its 11:37, Jess."
She shot out ofd bed, "Its that late! I got to get dressed and get these guys up. Thanks Bella." I gave her a smile and walked out of the room. Edward was waiting for me outside their room. I noticed I never really looked at what he was wearing. He had on a pair of dark blue jeans and a emerald green, button up shirt. I closed the door behind me and walked with him downstairs. Everyone was on the first floor now so our 'special guests' didn't find 'the room'. I decided to get Alice before I couldn't speak freely.
I found Alice in the kitchen within Jasper's arms. I motioned her to come over. She turned in Jasper's arms and gave him a chaste kiss before she pulled away from him to come over to me.
"We have to change soon Alice." I whispered. "You have to do a extreme rush job on the wounds but still make them look real to the human eye."She nodded and ran downstairs to the basement (at human speed). She came back up moments later and told me ten minutes. I nodded and walked to Edward's side.
The two of us talked with Angela and Ben when we heard the stairs squeak. We all looked up to see our 'special guests' come down the stairs. Lauren looked over our way and smiled with lust in her eyes. I glared at her and gripped Edward's hand harder. Edward squeezed my hand reassuringly. He put his other arm around my waist and pulled me closer. Lauren scowled and turned back to Tyler. We all began to talk again when they came down.
I looked to see if anyone was looking at us, but no one was, no one except Alice. I nodded to her and she left Jasper's side. "Come down in about seven minutes." I whispered to Edward. He nodded and released me from his arms.
Alice and I began to work as soon as we got down in the basement. Alice got me out of my first set of clothes and into the second. They really did look like a chain saw attacked them. "Alice did you really take a chain saw to these clothes?"
"You know i'd never had the heart to do it." She said. "So Emmett did it. He was extremely happy when I asked him to do it." I laughed and sat down in her chair. She did the makeup fast but it still looked real. Alice was about to add the blood when Edward came down. "You clothes are in the other room, go get changed while I finish Bella." He nodded and headed for the other room while Alice added the fake blood.
Edward came out a few minutes later in his torn clothes. I got up from Alice's chair and Edward unwillingly sat down. "Don't worry Edward. It wont be that bad." He groaned and Alice brought out the makeup. I walked over to a mirror while the two of them argued. The makeup really did make me look like I was attacked by a chain saw. To the human eye it would looked like it wasn't rushed, even thought it was. I turned back to Edward and Alice, she was almost done with him. She added the last bit of blood to his face, then jumped up and ran from the chair toward me. "Love I don't know how you do it, that is pure torture." He whined. We both laughed thought when Alice stuck out her tongue at us.
"So what's the story your telling the others, Alice?"
"I'm going to say I came down with you to tell you about something when Edward pulled you away from me and you began to make-out so I left. So you might want to swell up her lips a bit Eddie." Before either of us could reply, Alice was gone. I turned to Edward and saw his crocked grin.
"Well," I whined. "I'm waiting." He grinned and crashed his lips to mine. I was about to pull him closer when he pulled away. "Love, you lips are already swollen enough. Now we have to get going." I pouted but sighed and nodded, he was right. Besides we'd finish this when we were alone, and no one could disturb us. "Get the chain saw Edward. Start it up." He nodded and pulled the power chain, which brought the chain saw to life.
AN: Ok guys, I'm sorry about this, but I have to have someone else's point of view for 'the scenes'.
On with the story!
Alice's Point of View: One minute earlier
I had just gotten away in time to avoid Edward wrath about his name. I smiled, the were going to start in one minute and twelve seconds. The four losers were over in their oven little conner, while the others were in the kitchen. They all stopped their conversations when I walked in. "Their going to start in about a minute." I said. They nodded and continued on with their conversations.
"Alice." Jasper whispered. "When?"
"Twenty seconds." I whispered back. He nodded and pulled me into his side and gave me a kiss. I pulled him closer and our kiss deepened. We both pulled away though before we went to far. Now we waited for it to happen.
There was a ear piercing scream, Bella. The sound of a chain saw was mixed into her screams. We all ran to the basement, only to find it lock. Jasper tried to open the door while we all screamed for Bella. Then there was another scream, not Bella's, but Edward's. I could hear the chain saw cutting through flesh and other things downstairs. We could hear the blood spill and fly down there. Angela was crying when I looked back. Jessica and Mike were crying too, Lauren was screaming her head off, and Tyler stood back to let the other guys open the door.
"Emmett!" I screamed. "Break it down!" Everyone moved away from the door while Emmett prepared to charge. Just before he broke it down we heard one final scream from the both of them, before nothing. Emmett knocked down the door and we all ran down stairs. I almost thought it was real, it made feel like it was real.
Bella was one the floor with Edward on top of her, blood all around them. The wounds were fresh and quickly spilling blood, and the chain saw was sticking up and had been shoved into Edward's back.
I slowly walked over to them and felt Edward's neck for a pulse, there wasn't one. "Their dead." I whispered. Jasper came over and pulled me into his arms. "Alice," He whispered.
"THEIR DEAD!" I screamed and cried in Jasper's chest. We all cried, even the guys. Emmett walked over, with Rose clinging to his side, and pulled the chain saw out of Edward's back. He then moved Edward off of Bella and put him beside her on his back. In between them he put their hands together.
"We have to get help! Who knows what will happen to us! We could be next!" Jessica cried. She pulled out her cell and tried to call 911, but couldn't.
"What's wrong with my cell phone?" She screamed. We all looked, her cell phone's screen was black, like it was off. We all pulled out our cells, but they wouldn't work either. We even tried Edward and Bella's cells, but no luck. "I have to get out of here!" Jessica screamed. She ran upstairs out of the basement, with us on her tail, leaving Edward and Bella in the basement alone. We found Jessica at the front door, kicking it and pulling on the door knob. "Get me out here!" She cried and fell to the floor. Rose and I pulled her back to our group. "Emmett, Jasper, Ben, see if you can break down the door." Rose said. They all charged at the door, but flew back when they hit it. The three of them whispered among themselves and then spilt up and ran all over the house.
They came back a few minutes later, out of breath and fell to the floor. "We looked everywhere, all the doors are lock and all the windows are blocked, there's no way out!" Emmett said between gasps for breath. Jasper then got up and grabbed my hand. "Come on, lets go move the bodies before something else happens." I nodded and we went down first. When we got to the bottom thought, I screamed.
Everyone came rushing down to see why I screamed. "What..." Rose began to ask, when she saw it. Edward and Bella's bodies were gone! Even the blood and the chain saw was gone! It was just to much to take. One by one we all slowly backed away from the spot where we saw them dead and ran back upstairs.
Bella's Point of View:
I had just gotten out of the shower to see Edward watching the others on the plasma tv. He snickered while I giggled when the others ran from the basement. "You can use the shower now Edward." He nodded and got up to go, but not before bring up all the cameras in the house. We both laughed when we saw everyone running all over the house. Edward finally went off to take a shower and I sat on the bed. I pulled out my cell to call Charlie before he would freak out over me not calling him.
I dialed his number and he picked up after the first ring. "Hello?" He asked.
"Hey dad." I said.
"Oh, Bella hey. How you doing over at the Cullen's?"
"We're doing great, we're playing a game similar to truth or dare. Emmett and I came up with it, and Alice helped me with the details. Anyway I just wanted to call to check on you."
"You too sweet Bells. Its always about someone else first and then yourself, and I'm doing fine, just fishing with Billy and hanging, but you don't need to call me if you don't want to."
"Dad I know it makes you feel better that I call, so I do it. I call you again on Wednesday, ok?"
"Yeah, I'll see you when we both come back, ok?"
"Yeah, see you later dad."
"By Bells." He hung up. Well at least I don't have to call him until Wednesday. I got up from the bed and put my cell on charge, when Edward called from the bathroom. "Bella?" he called. I walked over to the bathroom door and opened it a bit to hear him better. "Yeah Edward?" I said.
"Alice somehow got this fake blood in my hair and it wont come out. Do you know anyway to get it out?" I thought about it for a moment and giggled, then turned a deep red and shut up. "What is it love?" He asked.
"Edward, I think Alice ment on purpose to get it in your hair so I would have to wash it out." My face was getting redder. I think I might just get permeant blush! I sighed, "Let me get you something to wear and I'll then come in and help you get the blood out." I walked away from the door and went over to his bag. I grabbed a pair of his green silk boxers and threw them into the bathroom. I heard the shower curtain move and I turned my attention to the tv. "I'm decent love." Edward called. I turned back to the door and took a deep breath, then walked through the door. The shower curtain was still in the way when I walked in. Edward then poked his head out, trying to give me a smile but it came out really bad. I walked over to him and looked up at his hair, it was covered in sticky, messy, fake blood. I grabbed the shampoo from beside him and did my best to either look at his face or at something else other then his body. Edward let down his head and I began to scrub out the blood. It was hard to get out but after wasting about a half a hour in there, we finally got all the blood out of his hair. It felt so smooth under my finger when I finished. Like silk. I pulled up Edward's head from where it had hung in front of me and pushed him back into his shower. "Finish up and I'll see you in a few minutes." I said. He showed me his favorite grin and I walked out the bathroom.
I walked over to the tv to see everyone banging, tackling, and kicking everything to get out of the house, but then something happened. I saw Jessica come back down into the basement, looking scared of course, but still coming down.
"Edward!" I called. "Hurry, we might just have a problem on our hands!" He was by my side in a second, wearing his chain saw clothes. "What is it love?" He asked.
"Look at the screen, Jessica is going to pay us a little visit." We both watch as Jessica walked around the basement, looking around for a exit. "What do you think we should do love, she might find us and our plan is ruined." Edward said looking worried.
I looked all over the room for something that we can use. Finally I saw what I wanted and came up with a plan. "Edward, do we have somewhere something that can close up the hole in the wall?" I asked nervously.
"Yes there is one. Do you need me to close up the hole?"
"No its to late now, I want you to get it out and ready to block the hole when its time. Jessica's going to be joining us very soon. Can Alice still hypnotize people?"
"As far as I know yes she can, and what do you mean by 'Jessica's going to be joining us very soon'?"
"Ok well heres the plan, since your still in your other clothes, you can go out and look dead to Jessica and scare he so bad she faints. If she doesn't faint then knock her out. When she out cold the bring her in here, and later before she wakes up we'll have Alice hypnotize her so she will really act like the walking dead and help us with our plans, and she wont know!"
"Love, I swear you're turing into a smarter version of Emmett with each day that passes." He said and kissed my lips hard, then disappeared.
I ran to the tv and focused on the camera in the other basement. Edward had just come out of the hole and Jess had her back to him. He turned to face the camera and winked at me the began to walk weird and groaned. Jess turned around and went pale faced. She didn't even scream, she just fainted not making a sound. Edward picked up her feet and dragged her back into the room. I was a surprised as he was. "I was so sure that she was going to scream, oh well." I mumbled. Edward picked her up and placed her in the bathroom and shut the door. "Alice has still go that silent pager, right?" I asked. Edward looked up from where he was blocking the door and nodded. I ran tot he other side of the room and and grabbed the pager.
A-
Jessica almost found us and we have her knock our in our room. We need you to hypnotize her, and what time will she wake up?
B-
I put down the pager and Edward pulled me into him on the bed. "Love, you need to eat." He said. I was about to tell him no when my stomach decided to disagree with me. Edward laughed and pulled out a plate of corn-beef hash and a bottle of fizzy flavored water. I happily sat in Edward lap and ate the food and chugged down the water.
I just put away my plate when the pager rung my favorite tune of my lullaby. Edward reached over and grabbed it and handed it to me.
B-
She wont wake up for the next few hours. When things settle down I'll come up and hypnotize her before she wakes up. I'm so sorry about her, I didn't see her. She was so unsure of what to do she blacked up her future!
A-
I sighed. I was so worried she wake up while in here and figure out what happened and get mad at me. Now there's nothing to worry about now. "Edward, do you think we could leave the house for a bit? I mean everyone thinks we're dead, so that's not much of a problem. I'll just let Alice know we're gone."
"I don't see a problem as long as we are carful about where we go." He said.
"Then lets go see how Esme and Carlisle are doing." I jumped from his lap and ran to the window. He chuckled and we climbed out the window. I jumped onto his back and he raced through the forest. As we ran I pulled out the pager and paged Alice on where we were going.
Edward finally came to a stop in front of the great Cullen mansion. He let me down and we meet Esme at the door. "Your back so soon?" She asked. "I thought you'd be gone all week!"
"Well we were proclaimed dead this afternoon, and we had nothing better to so we came to see you two, and I wouldn't mind some of your wonderful cooking Esme. Please." I begged. I knew I didn't need to but I just felt like it.
"Alright Bella," Esme sighed. "And we're glad to see you too. I'm sorry for the way I acted."
"No Esme." I said sternly. "I was so worked up in my little plan that I didn't pay attention to the others around me. I'm the one who should be sorry."
Esme was about to say it wasn't my fault but Carlisle intervened. "How about we just leave this at that you are both sorry, and you should get inside, its getting pretty cold out at night for a while now." Carlisle said. We all nodded and walked into the Cullen house. "Edward why don't you play some music." Esme said. "I mean you haven't played since after you proposed to Bella." It was true, that night he play for hours to celebrate, while I sat next to him and listened to all of his wonderful music. "It would be nice to hear it again, please Edward." I asked. His crocked grin showed up on his face and gave me a quick nodded before running into the other room. I walked in after him and sat by his side on the bench. His soft melodies filled the room and I was a prisoner to it.
He played for the next few hours and while he played, Esme brought me dinner. It was spegetti and meat balls, with garlic bread and tea. She placed a small table to the side of the piano so I would spill anything on it, and I ate as he played. By the time Edward had stopped playing and I had finished my dinner, the clock read 8:47. "Come on."Edward said. "We need to get back to the house."I nodded and fallowed him out to the front door. We bid our good-byes to Carlisle and Esme, then I jumped onto Edward's back and he took off.
I was glad I had my coat with my, because Carlisle was right, it was really cold. Edward came to a stop in fornt of our haunted house and I slide down, in desperate need of frictional warmth. Edward noticed and rushed me inside. Once inside Edward turned up the heat and I went to go change into other clothes.
Once I had changed I came out of the bathroom and climbed straight into bed. Edward had turned off all the electronics and came over to my side. "I'm going to go hunting with Carlisle and Esme tonight. I'll be back by morning. If you need anything, page Alice or call me. Ok."
"Ok." I said and snuggled into the blankets. Edward kissed me softly on my forehead and then ran climbed out the window, closing it behind him. Then sleep finally came to me.
