Chapter 2
I ran down the stairs, surprising myself so much at the speed that I almost fell over. "Great, still haven't lost my clumsiness" I grumbled.
"Silly Bella" Emmett chuckled behind me. He had set up the dining room table for us to arm wrestle. "Come sit." He gestured to the table behind him. I smiled demurely at him and walked over to sit at the table. I put my elbow on the table with my arm up, waiting for him. He sat down opposite me and put his hand in mine. We were just about to start when he shouted, "Wait, its not official with out an audience!"
I sighed. "Fine." I stood up and called, "Edward, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Rosalie, could you come down here please."
They all descended the stairs slowly. I sat down at my place and waited until everyone was ready. Edward stood behind me, his hands on my shoulders. Rosalie stood across from him, leaning on Emmett's shoulders. Alice was to my right and Esme to my left. Jasper was across from Alice, Carlisle across from Esme. It was basically divided into girls vs. boys except for out respective spouses. I put my arm back on the table and he did the same.
Esme played judge like she did for most things. "Ready" she looked at the both of us. Emmett was preparing himself, I however was confident that I was going to win. "Set" He took a deep breath and I sat up straighter. "Go!" In less than a second Emmett's hand had slammed
into the table, with my hand on top of his, causing it to quiver underneath us, I saw Esme wince, "Sorry Esme"
"That doesn't count!" Emmett yelled, standing up. He wasn't happy about losing, especially to me. To him I was his youngest sister; I was not supposed to beat him in strength completions.
"Emmett that was fair and you know it" I said. Emmett grumbled a little more and walked out of the room, Rosalie followed, soothing his wounded ego. Before she left she shot me a look that said 'I'm sorry about him'
"Bella" Edward murmured "Do you want to go to the meadow?" I nodded my train of thought completely lost as his golden eyes sparkled. He took my hand and we walked out of the front door and into the woods a little ways. Then he dropped my hand. "Are you ready to try running full out now?" I looked at him incredulously, he knew that I wasn't a runner. "You'll be fine, and I know you'll love it once you try it." He took off with out warning, I didn't even realize that he had left my side. "Bella!" he called "Come and get me." I could see he was presenting me with a challenge; I had already confronted one and beaten it, so I figured that I could use another.
I took off running, Edward had been right, it was like second nature, I could barely feel my legs moving underneath me. I caught Edwards scent, so I was able to find where he was pretty quickly.
"That wasn't so bad, now, was it?" he said, smiling. "Do you want to try running together now?" he asked.
"Sure why not." We started running at the same time, the trees whipping by us. I felt like I was going slow so I sped up. Edward sped up a little too but I noticed, and so did he that I was still in front of him, just by a little. I decided to explore this situation a little more, I sped up, watching the shock on Edwards face as he realized that he couldn't catch up with me. I laughed and sped up some more. Then I stopped paying attention to how fast I was going, just following the way I knew to get to the meadow. In no time I was there, at the entrance to the meadow. I could see or smell Edward anywhere, so I sat on a stump. As I waited for him to catch up I thought back on what had just happened. I was stronger than Emmett and faster than Edward. My cell phone, the one that Edward had insisted I get buzzed. I looked at the caller ID before I opened it.
"Hey Alice, What's up?" Immediately I pulled the phone away from my ear as Alice's high pitched voice started screaming into it.
"Omigosh! I cannot believe that you are faster than Edward." She screeched. "He isn't going to be happy about that; I mean no one in our family is faster than Edward1" she just keep going on and on. Soon though Edward came through an opening in the trees, he looked very surprised.
"Alice, I have to go, I will talk to you when we get back." And then I hung up the phone.
"Have a nice run, love?" he asked.
"Yea I did actually" I said "You're not mad that I'm faster than you?"
"Of course not, though I will be if you leave me like that again." He said, laughing a little. "I'm not used to being left in the dust."
"I'm sorry." I looked up at him "I was experimenting." I smiled when he laughed.
"Come love, lets go in the meadow."
