Bella and Edward's POV during Chapter 3: Pit Stop

BPOV

(after she fell asleep…)

I felt consciousness take over me again as I heard Emmet's voice.

"Alice, why are we going to the mall?" he whined. I stayed quiet, feigning sleep. Hopefully, I will hear something about where we are going. The mall. What mall?

"Oh calm down, Emmet. I won't be in there long. I'm just going to get us a few outfits. I doubt you want to stay in the same clothes for three days, do you?" she reasoned.

"Fine, but hurry up," he grumbled. I held back a laugh at how childish and defeated he sounded. HA. Now he knows how it feels.

Alice was silent for a moment. I guess she was checking the future. I wanted to see, but I fought back the urge to open my eyes.

"No, Edward is going to be here in ten minutes!" she screeched. I flinched at her sudden outburst and I knew they noticed. I opened my eyes and blinked slowly, sleep still heavy in my eyes. "Oh, good you're up. Come on, Edward will be here soon," Alice yelled at me. Edward was coming to get me. My hero. I smiled but it didn't last.

"Oh, don't get too excited, he won't find us, we just have to get out the car so that we can lose him in the mall," Alice said surely. I thought of a way to escape: I could always scream, or stall, or somehow find a way to call him. I decided to go with my first option. They would quickly catch onto the other ones. Yes, screaming would work. Well, it would've worked before Alice give me a glare so scary, the thought dropped from my head like rock. I immediately dropped my smile and glared at my soon to be sister through narrowed eyes. I knew I was defeated. Again. Emmet chuckled and I turned my glare to him and he just laughed again.

"I'm not going anywhere," I said firmly. I knew it was a lost cause, but I had to try. Emmet smiled a menacing smile. I kept my glare firm, masking my fear.

Alice sighed deeply and began to walk away. "Emmet," she said. It sounded more like a command. Too fast for my eyes to catch, he managed to set me on my feet and drag me by my wrist into the mall, ignoring my protests. I tried to release my wrist from his grasp, which seemed to humor him. Stupid, inhumanly strong vampire. I glared at the back of his head. We stepped into the mall and he looked at me, still glaring at him. I saw the corners of his lips tugging up at the corners.

"Bella, come on, let's go shopping," he said, perfectly imitating Alice's high voice. His huge build contrasted with the light voice. I tried to hide my smile but he turned back to me and wiggled his eyebrows. That did it. I laughed. Seeming to take that as permission, he began pulling me further into the mall. I hesitated and he looked at me, confusedly.

"Um, Emmet? I'm not going to run away, can you let go now?" I said staring at my wrist.

He merely chuckled again and moved his hand to my back, guiding me into each store. I came to notice that we were at Port Angeles Mall. Ugh. Even when I'm being kidnapped, Alice manages to play some form of Bella Barbie. We were now on the lower level of the mall, in yet another designer store. I gave up naming stores after the first one, just letting Emmet guide me. They wouldn't let me out of their sight. Even when I had a 'human moment' Alice came into the bathroom, to my utter embarrassment.

I wondered how long we were going to be away. How long I was going to be away from Edward, to be exact. I saw Alice nod discreetly and scratch her head. Scratch? No, vampires don't scratch. I looked at Emmet, and he had a smile plastered on his face, like he was deep in thought. Thought. Edward. Edward was here. I was going to scream, following my initial plan, but then I remembered Alice's ferocious glare and shied away from the idea. I sighed inwardly. Edward was so close, but yet so far away. Alice can be so scary for someone so small. For once, I wish Edward could hear my thoughts. Sigh. I refocused on the current situation and looked at them before shaking my head in disgrace, my poor, poor soon to be siblings. They were Edward bait. I was brought back to my thoughts-again-when I noticed that I was at the Jeep again. Without thinking, I hopped back into the Jeep and buckled my seatbelt, remembering their need for speed. I heard the trunk close, and not seconds later…

"GO!" Alice roared, making me jump. Emmet seemed to refocus his thoughts and drive off. Where? Again, I had absolutely no clue! I saw Alice talking to Emmet in vampire speed. I glared at them. Stupid, abnormally fast vampire conversations. Emmet turned and gave me an apologetic grin. I rolled my eyes to the window…

(after they drove away…)

I sped down the highway, swerving around all the unsuspecting drivers. I was focusing on finding Emmet and Alice's thoughts. Surely, they couldn't block their thought for too long, could they? My unspoken questions were answered when a careless Emmet involuntarily let me in..

*************************( That whole conversation-until they're in the last store…)******************************

I cut in front of a white Honda Pilot. I ignored the honking as I squeezed in front of him. I needed to see my angel. After seeing her in Emmet's mind, I felt the need to wrap my arms around her and comfort her. The urge to hold her in my arms was overbearing. I made my way toward the Port Angeles Mall, knowing I was so, so close.

' Edward, calm down, please, I can feel your anxiety, remember?' Jasper pleaded pathetically. I rather enjoyed the silence that Jasper interrupted. It was partially his fault that Bella wasn't with me right now, anyway. I ignored him and continued driving, listening intently for Emmet's thoughts. He was singing the Pepto-Bismol song. I sighed. Emmet can really be an idiot sometimes. I was even more frustrated when I realized that Alice was completely guarded, not a thought came to me except random songs.

I pulled into the first spot I could find, not even bothering to find Emmett's Jeep.

"Wait here," I told them. They both nodded and I ran, at human speed to the back entrance.

I walked in, and Emmet slipped once again. Bella was at the Guess store in the upper level, staring blankly at some shirts. Then Emmet retreated back to singing, blocking me once again. I smiled darkly as I realized that I would have Bella in my arms once again. I ran up the stairs and into the store where my angel would be. I quickly looked around and noticed that she wasn't here. She. Wasn't. Here. Emmet tricked me. I heard the faint sound of Emmet's Jeep pulling away too late. I ran back to my car, absolutely fuming. I sat in the seat and pinched the bridge of my nose. Bella, my Bella, was in the same building as me and I missed her. That was, by far, my worst attempt at getting to her. I didn't even try to smell her. I groaned, completely frustrated at myself. I was so eager to see her that I didn't even consider the possibility of them trying to trick me. How stupid. I was surprised to hear Rosalie…

' Edward, we'll get Bella back.' she thought confidently. I slowly nodded my head. I would get Bella back, I just knew that it was a lot later than I wanted. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw Jasper scrunched miserably in his seat. I sighed and tried to calm myself. Jasper relaxed visibly and gave a small smile.

'Thanks' he thought. I gave a wavering smile back and started the car. I backed out of the lot and began speeding again, toward…Seattle? I grew aggravated again, but tried to contain myself for Jasper's sake. I was swerving in and out of lanes, slowing when I heard police officers' minds. We were starting to make some ground when I saw the gas light come on. Damn. I pulled took the next exit and pulled into the nearest gas station. I filled the tank and got back in the car. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 12: 00, midnight. I'd guess that we were about and hour behind them by now. I sighed as I pulled out and sped back down the highway…

Chapter 4: Supplies

BPOV

I stared out the window, looking at the blur that was cars and trees that we passed by. I sighed. Alice was on her laptop, shopping, no doubt. Wait, when did she bring that? Probably before they left for the carnival. I sighed. I returned back to my previous thoughts about Edward. I missed his voice, his laugh, his smile. I needed to hear his voice. I smiled, remembering the phone Edward had given me 'in case of emergency' I remembered rolling my eyes before, but now I was thankful. I pulled the phone out my pocket and pressed speed dial number 1. It didn't finish the first ring before I heard his velvet voice…

"Bella?" he answered anxiously. I sighed at the sound of his voice.

"Hi, Edward," I said a little sadly, still missing him. Once I heard his voice, I wanted, needed more.

"Yes. I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. I thought you…Oh, Bella, I'm sorry…" he trailed off. He sounded so guilty.

"Edward, calm down, it's not your fault, please stop apologizing" I pleaded. I heard him take a deep breath, and I think I heard him thank Jasper also.

" How are you feeling, are you alright?" he asked, pure concern in his voice.

" I'm fine, I'm just hungry," I saw Alice look back at me, then Emmet, and she pulled out a deli sandwich and bottle of lemonade from somewhere and handed it to me. Where did she get this at? When? " Never mind the hungry part," I muttered and Alice chuckled. I heard Edward breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay, Edward?" I asked. I was concerned this time.

"Yes, please stop worrying about me. I just want you to keep yourself safe, okay?" he pleaded. I hated the sadness in his voice.

" Okay, Edward, for your sake I will try to manage the equilibrium in my body for more coordination and alter the danger magnet until you get to me, just give me a few minutes to configure it, alright?" I said sarcastically, trying to lighten his mood. It worked . He chuckled lightly and I reveled in the sound.

"That's all I ask, love. Can I speak to Alice?" he said. I handed the phone to Alice. I opened my sandwich and took a big bite. Yum! I ate my sandwich as I listened to Alice and Edward's conversation…

APOV

"Hello," I answered sweetly.

"Alice, where are you taking her?" Edward asked, irritated.

" Seattle. Edward, don't worry. She'll have fun," I tried to calm him down.

"Sure, Alice, my fiancée has been so gracefully taken away from me, by my own siblings, no less, and I'm desperately missing her but, there's nothing to worry about, as I'll see her sometime in the next two days. Of course, nothing to worry about." he said, annoyed.

I didn't say anything, waiting for him to calm down. He sighed.

"Where are you going, Alice?" he asked, trying to calm down. It didn't sound like he was achieving that goal.

"I won't tell you that yet. But calm down, Edward, she'll be fine. She's gonna have fun," I repeated.

"Put Bella on the phone," he said, ignoring my response. I handed the phone to Bella…

BPOV

I just finished my sandwich. It was delicious. I took a sip of the lemonade. Right after I wiped my hands, Alice handed me the phone. I took it slowly.

"Edward?" I said.

"Bella, I have to go, but I will talk to you soon, okay?" he said sadly.

"Ok, Edward, I love you," I said warily. I suddenly felt very tired. I looked at the dashboard and saw that it was 1:30. Wow. A whole day had passed. I heard Edward chuckle lightly.

" I love you too, Bella, you need to get some rest," and then the phone went dead. I handed the phone back to Alice and I laid across the seat again and drifted off to sleep again…

EmPOV

I saw Bella drift slowly asleep. Man, humans sleep a lot. I pulled into the 'supplies' store parking lot. Man am I glad they're open twenty four hours.

"You have exactly fifteen minutes to get everything. Do you understand? If you go a second over, I will drag you out by tour ear," she threatened. I knew she was serious, past experiences have told me so. I shuddered at the memory and nodded at her. I hopped out of the car and quietly closed the door behind me, so I wouldn't wake up Bella. I walked into the store and grabbed a basket. "Hey, Welcome to Paintball Zone," a non enthusiastic teenage boy said to me. I swear, people need to be happier these days. I gave him a light nod and proceeded to the aisle with the guns.

I knew we only needed one, for the human. I smiled as I picked out the most Bella-proof one I could find. It was light, but powerful, and held a decent capacity of paintballs. I put the gun in the basket and proceeded to get the rest of the items. I grabbed six different colored paints. I grabbed some padded clothes, again for Bella, and some red and black bandanas, for teams. On my way to the register, I snatched some gloves for Bella. The boy gaped at me as I came up to the counter. I knew he was watching me get some items, but yeesh, he could at least try to hide it. I smiled at him as I handed the basket to him. He closed his mouth and scanned the items. I gave him my credit card. His mouth opened again and I fought back a laugh. He swiped the card and handed it back to me. " T-thank you and h-have a good night," he said, still baffled. I decided to have a little fun. I gave him a broad smile, and heard him gasp. I chuckled as I turned around and walked out the store. Humans are too funny. I put the bags in the trunk and closed it again, gently.

I got back in the car, still chuckling at the boy's expression. I turned and saw Alice biting her lip and holding back her laughter, no doubt by what I'd done. I just shrugged and started the engine.

APOV

Oh…My…Gosh!

That boy's face was so funny! He looked like he was going to wet his pants. I let out a snort and heard Bella stir in her sleep. I thought I had woken her up but then I heard her sigh and mumble some more about Edward. I sobered up from my silent laughter as Emmet pulled out the parking lot and onto the main roads…

Phase Two: Supplies-Complete. I thought happily.

Sorry this chapter is so long. I wanted to thoroughly explain chapter 3 for any of you who were confused. I hope this helps? If not, tell me, please. Thanks =)
