The Burning

Bella's Point Of View

-

The day had come.

Edward was finally out hunting.

Alice, Jasper, and I were walking towards the garage. They were the only ones who knew the plan.

Well, Esme knew, too. But that doesn't count.

Anyway… We were walking towards the garage, not even pretending to sneak because we knew it wouldn't matter either way.

Apparently I was 'noisier than a pack of elephant chasing monkeys'… According to Alice.

We were in the garage about to grab the Volvo, when Alice said, "Hey, Bella? You wanna blow up the Aston Martin, too?"

My eyes got big. "Ooh… Can you imagine the explosion for that one? But no… Edward would probably kill someone. Not me, of course. Maybe you, Jasper." I said.

"Hey!" He yelled indignantly. "I'm just as important to this story as you are!"

"Um… sure you are, sweetie." Alice said consolingly.

He frowned. "Well… If I weren't here then who would carry the car? Huh? I'm the big, strong man! You would be nothing without me! NOTHING, I SAY!" He was panting by the end of it.

Alice glared at him. "Um, hello? I'm a VAMPIRE. I can lift cars, too. Idiot."

I laughed.

Jasper sulked.

Alice smiled and lifted the car and said, "Let's go! They are on their way home!"

"Oh, no!" I yelled, and we ran out the door.

She set the car down in the middle of the field I had watched them play baseball in.

We then commence phase two.

I think.

Either that or it was phase four. I forget…

Anyway, all that means is we got thirty three gallons of gasoline and poured half inside the car and half outside of it.

By the time we were done I was loopy from the fumes. Jasper had to carry me to the side of the field.

When he set me down he said, "See? I was useful for something!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Yeah Jasper. You are officially the Dizzy Bella carrier."

For some reason he was immensely proud of that.

I turned to Alice and said, "Phase twenty six! Where is the rock?"

She was about to answer when she got a glazed look on her face.

And I don't mean donuts, people.

She snapped out of it and said, "We need to hurry! Edward, Emmett and Rose smelled the gasoline and they're coming this way!"

She got the rock out of her pocket and lit it on fire.

"Hey, wait." I said. "How is that rock on fire? Rocks aren't flammable…"

She frowned. "You're right."

The fire went out.

"I have an idea!" Jasper yelled.

"Well, what is it?" I asked.

"We take Alice's shirt and wrap it around the rock and then light it on fire!" He said proudly.

Alice said, "Jasper, I'm not wearing anything under my shirt."

"I know." He said with a smile.

A smile that disappeared when Alice smacked him on the arm.

"Perv."

"I have a better idea." I said. "We'll just use my sock!"

"Ooh, good one!" She said.

I took off my sock and gave it to her. She wrapped it around the rock and set it on fire.

"OH. MY. GOODNESS." Jasper yelled.

"WHAT IS THAT STENCH?" Alice yelled.

"Hey, my feet don't smell that bad!" I said.

She rolled her eyes and threw the offending sock at the Volvo.

It burst into flames immediately.

It was a beautiful sight.

Then, ruining the moment, a screech filled the air.

"IS THAT MY CAR? OH MY EFFING GOODNESS, THAT'S MY CAR!"


Heh heh… I think Edward saying effing is funny… It just seems so unlike him. One more chapter, but it has what everyone is waiting for. The explosion!

On a different note, I officially passed out from the amount of reviews. I even got a threat! That is so AWESOME.

Peace out,
