Chapter 4
Bella woke up from another fitful sleep,Edward next to her. Bella's eyes glanced at the clock on the bedside table,it said it was 7:30. Early morning light fell through the window and the sound of the forest outside was so loud Bella could hear it in the room. Bella stood up and stretched before stepping across the room to the bedroom door. She opened it as quietly as she could and then stepped into the hallway. She was walking down the stairs and almost to the bottom when she heard the high-pitched squeal of a TV,a staticy TV to be exact. Bella turned and started stepping slowly up the stairs. At the top she was turning to her right where the noise was coming from when she ran straight into edward.
"Good morning,love" he said,giving her a small hug and looking at her face. "Are you alright"
Bella's face looked confused and scared, "Uhh yeah,everythings fine. i just thought I heard a weird noise"
Edward put his finger to bella's lips and cocked his head to the side,as if he was listening. His face went from straight,to confused in a mtter of seocnds. "I hear it too"
Bella gasped and Edward shushed her, "Stay here,i'm going to go check it out" Edward said,walking slowly down the hallway to a door that looked like it had never been open. The lock on the door clicked loudly and made Bella jump. Edward approached the door carefully and turned the doorknob,pulling the door open. It creaked loudly and he stepped inside. Bella got a nervous feeling in her stomach.
"Edward,be careful" she called after him,the urge to follow him overwhelming her.
"Don't worry Bells,its just a TV that was on or something" Edward said,obviously lying. Truthfully,he had no idea how the TV turned on by itself.
Bella sighed a sigh of relief and then heard Edward gasp. "What is it?"
"Its a note,from james" edward answered,coming out of the room and shutting the door. The squealing noise had stopped but he had another piece of white paper in his hand.
"Whats it say" Bella sked,reading the note over Edwards shoulder. The familiar handwriting was all over the paper.
Dear whoever finds this,
I regret so much sending you all to this house. It was my worst decision. I have done some research and this house is not as it appears. You are all in danger,grave danger. This house is not only magical,but haunted. Good spirits dwell hear that like to keep themselves discreet,but there are also the bad spirits. They make themselves known and try to scare you. You must not be afraid though if you wish to escape here unscathed. They feed off fear and they use it tothere advantage. They learn your relationships with eachother,they learn so much until they figure out everything. They use your weaknesses to there advantage,hurting your loved ones. There are ways to fight these creatures though,so there is hope. I haven't figured it out yet,but when i do,you all will be the first to know. For now,all you can do is fight. Stay close to eachother and don't let them ruin your relationships. Become better friends or lovers or whatever you are to eachother,but be careful. As i've said before,try to find yourselve's during all this. Learn more aobut eachother. Learn to love eachother like family or more. Be trustworthy and don't let the spirits break your bonds to one another.
Best of Luck,
James
Bella's face went a ghostly shade of white at the strange realization that she was in danger. She felt frozen to the spot.
"Bella,I need you to do something."Edward whispered,looking carefully at her face. "Go wake up Alice and Rosalie. I'll get Emmett and jasper. We'll meet back in the living room. Tell them this is important and that they need to get up" Edward said,suddenly pulling Bella into his arms. He buried his face in her hair and kissed her lightly on the lips. "And Bella,do be careful,you know clumsy you can be" And with that,he was running down the hallway toward Emett's room. Bella twirled on her heel and headed toward Alice's room. Alice lay perfectly still on the bed,her soft,even breathing seemed to be the only noise in the room.
"Alice,alice! Get Up! Now" Bella yelled,running over to the bed and shaking alice's shoulders. Her amber eyes popped open and looked at Bella's horrified expression. she sat up quickly and got out of bed.
"Bella,calm down,whats wrong?" Alice asked,her eyes searching Bella's face. Bella gave Alice the paper from james she had had in her hands. alice read it over quickly and looked up at Bella,a scared look on her face.
"Don't give me a look. Just go downstairs" Bella said,pointing toward the bedroom door. bella followed alice out the door and then ran down the hallway to Rosalie's room. She threw open the door and ran over to the bed. "Rosalie,you have to get up. Come on!" Bella yelled,shaking Rosalieby the shoulders.
"Emmett...Emmett...yes I love you too" Rosalie mumbled in her sleep before silently sleeping again.
"Rosalie! Now is not the time for your sleep talking!" Bella yelled,shaking Rsalie even ahrder. Finally,her eyes opened and she looked angrily at Bella.
"Why did you wake me up?"
"We kind of have a crisis. I think its a little more important than your beauty sleep" Bella said,louder than was necessary. Rosalie shot her another cranky look and got up and walked down the stairs to the living room. bella followed her,going to shut the door behind her. As she was doing this,she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eyes. it was like the pale,bloody faces she had seen in her nightmare the first night Edward had stayed in her room. she let out a loud scream befor eslamming the door and turning around. She didn't dothis quick enough and the evil,frigthening thing she had seen stod right in front of her.
