Life with the Cullens
Chapter 2 – What Emmett Did
Emmett:
I had just gotten back from hunting. Thank God, too. Bella has been coming over waaaay too much. The smell of human blood is intoxicating when you are really thirsty. I swiftly walked into our house to find Edward sitting on the couch next to a sleeping Bella watching the TV.
"Hey, Eddie! Whatcha watchin'?" I teased.
"Food Network. Please don't call me Eddie."
"Why the hell are you watching the food network? You don't need to eat."
"Did it ever occur to you that Bella might have to eat, y'know 'cause she's still human?" Edward said with heavy sarcasm.
"Oh. Umm…..well, yeah that would make sense."
"Boom," muttered Bella.
"Is Bella talking in her sleep?" I asked.
"Yeah, she does that," replied Edward.
"Well I'm just gonna leave now," I said
Bella had woken up and she and Edward were up in his room. I was bored to the extreme. When you are a vampire, you do get bored quickly. The worst part was that Rose was shopping with Alice so she couldn't entertain me. She is really good at that.
While thinking about what I could possibly do I remembered Edward watching the food network. He had been writing down the recipes so he could cook for Bella.
Maybe I'll cook something. At least I wouldn't be bored anymore, I thought.
I went into the kitchen and started rummaging through the cupboards, looking for Edward's recipes. I found them above the oven. I knew what they were at once; they were the only things in that cupboard. I ruffled through them, looking for something easy. I found a recipe for French fries. I knew humans loved them, I used to. I went out to the store and bought potatoes, oil and salt. When I got home, I chopped up the potatoes and threw them in the frying pan with the oil. I don't know what I did wrong, but for some reason, the oil caught fire and blazed upwards. I had no idea what to do.
Bella:
Edward and I were in his room and he was kissing me passionately. Like my dream. He was being a little braver, going the tiniest bit out of his comfort zone, like my dream. Maybe I did have a premonition; maybe my dream was coming true. I pondered that though for a moment. Damn, I thought. This might not turn out well.
Suddenly, there was the dreaded sound of the explosion. Edward unwillingly tore himself away from me and ran downstairs.
"Emmett, you idiot!" he yelled. Edward ran back upstairs. "Bella, sweetie, there's a fire so you have to get out. We should extinguish it in a minute but I want you to be safe. Jasper! Could you come to my window please?" he called.
"Right here, Edward!" Jasper called back.
"Bella, I'm going to drop you to Jasper and then I'm going to help with the fire. Jasper will catch you and you'll be fine."
"Edward, what happened?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later," Edward said as he opened the window and pushed me out of it.
I fell quickly and it hurt when Jasper caught me. I swear I was bruised from his rock hard arms. I would have been better off landing on the ground. I'm gonna feel this in the morning.
"You okay, Bella?" inquired Jasper.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Jasper! Bella! You can come in now, it's safe!" Edward called.
When I went into the kitchen, I witnessed a disaster site. The wall behind the oven was scorched. It wasn't pretty. What had Emmett done?
"What happened?" I asked.
"Turns out, Emmett here got bored and tried to cook," Edward explained. "He started a grease fire."
"Emmett, please don't try this again," Jasper pleaded.
"How are we gonna fix this," I asked.
"Alice," said Edward. "We will unleash the monster within."
