We went to the lake. It was so beautiful. The water was clean and clear. I could see the stars in the water.

Rosalie and Alice got to the edge.

"Ready," Edward said.

"Set," Emmett said.

"Go!" Jasper and I said.

They jumped in the pool and started swimming.

I Promise

Bella's POV

They swam at full speed, so I couldn't see who was winning and who was losing.

Alice got out of the lake first. She was dripping, as was Rosalie. I laughed. They were so wet. Both glared at me and I ran behind Emmett.

"Fighting time," Jasper said smiling.

We went to a clearing. It was a great place to fight. It was like a circle. Emmett and Jasper went to the middle. Edward, Alice, and Rosalie sat on the ground. I went to a tree, climbed it, and sat on it.

Jasper ran to Emmett, but Em pushed him back. Jasper got back up and pushed Em down. They started fighting faster and stronger. I watched excitedly.

They kept flipping each other. I saw Emmett grab Jasper and throw him out of the forest.

"I win," Emmett said.

"It's a tie," Alice said.

They started running. It was just Emmett and I. He ran, grabbed me, and left. We were outside the forest.

"So I'm going to run around?" I asked Em.

"Yes," I answered.

He then put me down. I saw Edward ready to run. I went next to him.

"Ready. Set. Go!" Jasper said. I ran like my life depended on it. Edward was behind me. I reached the end and ran back.

I did that three more times. I ended up winning.

"Finally! Edward lost!" Emmett shouted.

I laughed.

"So what now?" I asked.

"Truth or Dare!" Alice shouted.

Em grabbed me and ran back home.

"PUT ME DOWN EMMY!" I shouted.

"Nope," he said.

In seconds Emmett threw me on the couch.

"HEY!" I shouted.

"Okay, Bella get in the circle," Alice told me. Everyone else was too. I sat in between Emmett and Jasper.

"I'll go first," Alice said, "Edward, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he said.

"I dare you to uh?" She said,

"Oh no! I am not wearing girl clothes!" Edward shouted.

"It's a dare," Alice told him, "And you have to wear them tomorrow at school."

I couldn't hold it. I started laughing.

"Bella, truth or dare?" Edward asked.

"Dare," I told him.

"I dare you to order a pizza and eat it," he said.

I stared at him.

"It's a dare," he told me.

I sighed, and took out my phone. "Hello? Pizza place?"

"Yes," a man answered.

"Can I get a small pizza?" I asked.

"Yes, with pepperoni?" He asked.

"Yes please," I answered.

"Where do you live?" He asked.

"Cullen Residence," I told him.

"Okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes," I said.

"Okay thank you," I said.

"There, Bella your turn," Edward said smiling.

"Ass," I muttered, "Jasper, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he said.

"I dare you to streak naked around town. Human speed," I told him.

His mouth hung open. I smirked. He got up and started taking off his clothes.

"Emmett make sure he does it," I said. I covered my eyes.

Ten minutes later Jasper and Emmett came back. Jasper was fully clothed.

"How was it?" I asked.

"Fun," he told me sarcastically.

I laughed.

"Emmett, truth or dare?" Jasper asked.

"Dare," he said.

"I dare you tell Newton you love him," he told him.

Emmett dialed the number and put it on speaker.

"Hello?" Newton asked over the phone.

"Mike, it's Emmett Cullen," Em said.

"Emmett? What is it?" Mike asked confused.

"Mike, I love you! I've loved you since I moved here," Em said.

"How about Rosalie Hale?" Mike asked.

"She was just a cover up," he said.

Then Mike hung up.

The doorbell rang. Edward looked at me.

"Oh shit," I muttered.

I went to open the door. A guy just stared at me.

"Hey, my pizza?" I asked.

"Oh uh, here," he said. He gave it to me.

I gave him the money.

"Wait, here's my number," he said giving it to me.

"Um thanks?" I said, sounding like a question.

I closed the door.

I sat back down and opened the pizza.

It looked nasty. I got on and put it on my mouth.

After a while I finished half. I ran to the bathroom.

Emmett's POV

Bella ran to the bathroom. I got up and punched Edward.

"What was that about?" He asked.

"MY SISTER!" I shouted.

Then Carlisle and Esme came in.

Carlisle saw the pizza box.

"You invited humans?" He asked.

"Edward made Bella eat half of the box," I said.

"Will she be okay?" Rosalie asked.

"She'll be sick for about twenty-four hours," Carlisle told us.

We nodded. We stayed quiet, well except Bella who was throwing up.

I glared at Edward. We stayed there for the whole night.

Alice got up when we had to get ready for school.

"Rosalie, we have to make Edward pretty," she said, "Emmett go check if Bella is good enough to go to school."

I nodded and ran to the bathroom. She looked like hell. She wasn't as sick as before, but she did throw up.

"Bells you want to go to school?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Yeah. I mean I want to be with my brother," she said.

I helped her up and to her room. She then changed and went to the bathroom to throw up. When she came out I asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," she said.

"Okay," I said.

I took her to my Jeep. Rosalie was in the driver seat. Edward, Alice, and Jasper took Alice's Porsche. I sat in the back seat with my sister.

When we got to school everyone was staring.

They looked at Jasper because he streaked. Edward because he is wearing a dress and make-up. Bella, because she's leaning on me, sick as hell. Mike Newton stared at me, I winked at him and smiled.

We went to class. I went to drop off Rosalie, then went to talk to Bella's teacher.

"Emmett, hello," she said.

"Ms, I would like to talk to you," I said politely.

"Okay," she said. She saw Bella and stared at me.

"This is my sister. She isn't feeling good, so she might be running out of your room," I told her.

"Why doesn't she stay at home?" She asked.

"She doesn't want to. She's stubborn," I told her.

"Er, I usually don't do this, but you can stay in class with her. To make sure she's okay," she said. We both looked Bella. She looked out of it, ready to explode any minute.

"Thank you," I said.

I walked inside and helped her sit.

"Aren't you going to class?" She asked me.

"No for now we're classmates," I said.

She smiled and put her head on the table.

'This isn't normal,' I thought, 'I ate human food and I wasn't this sick. Maybe it's something else. But what?'

Class went like a blur. During passing period, Bella went to throw up.

I waited at the door until I heard nothing. I got scared and checked it out. No one was inside luckily and I saw her passed out.

"This is definitely not normal," I told myself. I picked her up and ran home.

No one was home. I took her to her room. After she was on her bed, all covered up, I called Carlisle.

"Hello Emmett, this it better be an emergency," Carlisle told me.

"Bella fainted. Is it normal?" I asked.

"No. Where are you?" He asked.

"Home," I answered.

"I'll be right there," he said and hung up. I called Rosalie next.

"Hey Emmett what happened?" She asked.

"Bells fainted and I brought her home," I told her.

"Is she okay?" Rosalie asked, worried.

"I don't know. I called Carlisle. I don't think it was the food that did this. I think there is more than what she is telling us," I told her.

"I think you're right. We'll see you later," she told me.

I heard Carlisle. "He's here. I'll tell you what he tells me okay," I told her.

"Okay. Bye," she said.

Carlisle had his equipment. He walked to her. He did a bunch of stuff. I didn't care; I just wanted her to be okay.

"Okay Emmett," he said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I'm not hundred percent sure, but since she's been weak, her body was going to give out," he told me.

"So it wasn't the food?" I asked.

"It was," he told me.

"I'm confused," I said.

"Okay, remember the story. She wasn't feeding; she was emotionally hurt, by you and James. Then with the food, her body couldn't take it," he explained.

"Is she going to be okay?" I asked.

"Yes. She'll wake up in a few minutes," he told me. He left to work and I went to Bella's bed.

I called Rosalie again.

"Is she okay?" She asked.

"Yes, her body was ready to shut down," I told her.

"I don't understand," she told me.

I told her what Carlisle told me.

We said our goodbyes and hung up.

"Emmett?" Bells whispered.

"Oh my god, you woke up!" I said hugging her.

Bella's POV

"Why aren't we at school?" I asked him.

"You passed out in the bathroom," he told me.

I nodded. He got up and started to walk out.

"Don't leave me," I whispered.

"I promise I'll never leave again," he told me.

"How am I supposed to believe you? You said the same thing last time," I told him.

"Because after what I've been through, I don't want to go through it again," he said.

I nodded.

"Aren't you going to promise?" He asked.

"I, uh...um," I stuttered.

I couldn't promise him. Some thing was keeping me from staying.

He was waiting.

"I p-promise," I said, "to not leave without reason."

He nodded and left for a while. I stayed thinking.

James and Victoria were keeping me from staying in one place for too long. They've been getting an army. While I was with the Volturi, they killed half the guard. It was devastating. I don't want to Cullens to die.

They've been stalking me. They will find me and kill Emmett and the Cullens.

This time I will have to break the promise. At least I have a reason, and its to save Emmett and his family. He really loves them and I don't want him to lose them, I know the feeling of having no one left.

~Flashback~

"Bella, we will find you," James told me.

"James, just leave me alone!" I shouted.

"It won't matter who your with," Victoria told me.

"We will kill them and their family," James finished.

They kicked me and left laughing.

~End Of Flashback~

Next On Chapter 4: Bonding,

"Bella, let's go to the clearing," Emmett said.

"Race you there," I told him. We ran and I won.

"Finally I beat you in a race!" I shouted.

"So, um Bella would you like to go out with Edward some time?" He asked me.

"What?" I asked.

"Edward likes you," he told me.

"I don't like him like that. I mean he's sweet, smart, and hot, but he's not who I want to be with. I feel like the guy for me is out there, and it isn't him," I told Emmett.

"Well, you're too good for Edward," Emmett said.

"Emmy don't tell him. I will okay," I told him.

He nodded. "But if he hurts you, I'll make him pay," Em told me.

"I wonder how he will react," I told Emmett.

"He might feel rejected. I mean one hundred years without a mate, how could you not," Emmett said.

"Thanks, that makes me more confident," I said, sarcastically.

"You're welcome," Emmett told me, smiling.

Find out how Edward reacts in the next chapter.
