Bella POV(Age 5)

I opened my closet door and pulled out todays outfit.

I chose a green shirt, a jean skirt, white stockings, and some brown sandles.

I skipped my way to the bathroom, and pulled my hair up into a pony tail.

I opened my door and peeked my head out. I couldn't see anything to my right, and right as I went to look on my left and I was swept up in somebody's arms.

"BELLA'S AWAKE!" Emmett yelled, right in my ear.

"Ahh!!" I screamed, as he ran down the stairs, with me over his shoulder.

"Emmett! Put her down!" Came Alice's voice from somewhere, I couldn't tell, we were going too fast.

"Emmett! Stop!" I yelled, kicking with my feet. He finally set me down on my feet, and I swayed to the left, and fell over. And guess what Emmett did...he laughed.

He didn't see it, but when I fell over, I scraped my elbow on the table. It wasn't bleeding, but it did hurt. So I started crying. I sat on the floor, crying.

"Bella, did I hurt you? I'm sorry! Please, calm down! Please! Edward will be here any second and if he finds out I made you cry he'll-" Emmett started, before he was tackled to the ground by Edward.

"What did you do?" Edward yelled. They rolled out the door, and onto the grass.

Alice came running into the room, followed by everyone else.

She bent down and picked me up, and whiped my face off with a tissue.

"You okay Bella? I saw this was going to happen, but did Emmett listen? No." She mummbled.

"I'm fine." I whispered, hiding my face from a glaring Rosalie.

"It wasn't all Emmett's fault. If Bella wasn't so gosh damn clumsy-" Rosalie started to yell, but Jasper cut her off.

"Don't you even THINK about finishing that sentence Rosalie." He snapped, with a glare that could kill. She didn't say anything, she only glared at me.

"Stop it Rosalie." Alice growled seeing the look I was given. Rosalie only rolled her eyes and adverted her gaze. She must have said something to tick Alice off, because Alice put me down, and went after Rosalie. Jasper went after them to break up the fight. They rolled out of the room, into the front room. I just kind of stood there unsure of what to do. I peeked my head outside to see Edward and Emmett, sitting on the ground, talking. I backed away, and looked around the corner to the living room to see Alice and Rosalie, sitting on opposite sides of the room, glaring at one and other, and Jasper in the middle, looking back and forth between the two. And then every couple of seconds they would look at the t.v. then back to glaring.

I turned around, and walked over to the fridge, pulling it open. I found a carton of milk, and took it out. I went over to the pantry and took out my cereal, HoneyComb! Yum! And then I went to the cabinent and took out a plastic bowl. The cabinent was right next to the fridge, under the counter. It held all the plastic stuff. I poured my self a bowl of cereal, grabbed a spoon, and sat down, by myself, eating my cereal.

The second I took my first bite, I was surrounded by the family...staring at me.

I didn't even blink, I just finished eating, staring off into space the whole time.

I guess I was in a dreem like state, while I put my bowl in the dishwasher, and walked into the frontroom.

"Bella! Bella! BEELLLA!"

"Hello..."

"Anybody home?"

"Bella, dear?"

"Leave the brat alone."

"Shut-up Rosalie!"

"Bella! Hey whoo hoo Bella!"

I finally looked at them. I had to guess who said what.

I'm guessing Emmett said the first one, then Jasper, then Edward, Esme, Rosalie, Edward, and then Alice. Carlisle was at work.

"Yes?" I asked answering all of them.

"What happened, you like, zoned out!" Emmett asked.

"Nothing. Just thinking about things." I answered shrugging my shoulders, and walked towards my book shelf. I stood there, staring at the books, hand on my chin for like 10 minutes.

I could hear the others laughing at my expression, behind me.

I finally chose my favorite, Beauty and the Beast. When I turned around, I noticed everyone had sat down. Esme, Alice and Jasper sat on the couch to the right of me, Rosalie and Emmett sat on the couch to my left, and Edward sat on the middle couch, arms open for me.

I couldn't help the smile tugging at my lips, and ran forward and jumped in his lap.

I handed him the book to read. He opened, the book, and whispered the words in my ear. His voice smooth as silk, and velvety. It was hard not to be lulled to sleep by that.

I woke up, on the couch alone, at around 5. It was getting dark out. I climbed off, and walked around the house, looking for everybody. I found Alice putting some clothes together in her room, Jasper reading in the library, Emmett helping Rosalie in the garage, Esme decorating the patio, Carlisle was now home, and was in his study. I had yet to find Edward. I walked out to the patio, to ask Esme.

"Esme?" I whispered, staring up at her.

"Yes, sweetie?" She asked, setting down a pot.

"Is Edwawd gone?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"He went to the store really quick. He should be back-" Esme started.

"Now." Edward finished, from behind me. I turned around to fast, getting my feet tangled, and fell backwards into Esme.

"Oh, are you okay?"

"Yep, I'm fine. Thanks fow catching me!" I answer, standing back up straight.

Edward just stood there, holding in his laughter. I couldn't help it...I was only 5 after all!

I stuck my tongue out at him, and ran off.

"Bella! I'm gonna get you!" I heard him call.

"Nuh uh!" I yelled back. I looked behind me, and noticed he was running more like walking human pace after me...and was getting closer. I sped up, and turned my head back around in time...to run into Rosalie. Oh no.

"Watch where you are going! I don't need some dirty little brat running around the house! And getting in my way! And you know the rules, no running in the house." Rosalie yelled, picking my up, and carrying my...by the shoulders...to the living room.

"Rosalie-" Edward started to growl, but was cut off.

"Shut it Edward." Rosalie snapped.

Rosalie took a chair, turned it to face the wall, and sat me in it.

"Your in timeout for 30 minutes. Then you will go to your room, and take a nap.

No toy's no playing. You are grounded!" Rosalie scolded, glaring at me.

"But-" I whispered.

"No talking!" She ordered. I only nodded, and faced the wall, my head hanging down in shame.

"Just be glad I didn't make you stand in the corner. Your feet would hurt." Rosalie muttered.

I glanced up, to see her glaring at me, and I noticed everyone else had entered the room. And they looked angry. I didn't know we couldn't run in the house...everyone else did it...so I thought I could. And now they are all mad at me. I looked back down at my lap in shame, and I could feel my eyes start to water. I rubbed away the tears, and looked around the now empty room.

"SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"

"SHE WAS RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!" Rosalie roared back at Edward.

Edward said something back but it was muffled.

"FOR HER THERE SHOULD BE!"

"Guy's she can hear you..." I heard Alice whisper.

"WHO CARES? SHE'S TEARING THIS FAMILY APART, AND SHE SHOULD KNOW IT!" Rosalie answered. I didn't get to hear the replie, because, after that was said I ran out of the house. Leaving the front door open, I ran to the woods.

EDWARD POV:

"SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" I roared at Rosalie. I was playing with Bella, and she accidentally ran into Rosalie, and there was NO rule against running in the house, everyone did it.

"SHE WAS RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!" Rosalie roared back.

Edward she can hear you guys... Alice thought, looking pissed at Rosalie.

"There is no rule against running in the house." I said, venom in everyword, saying it vampire fast.

"FOR HER THERE SHOULD BE!"

"Guy's she can hear you..." Alice whispered, mainly to Rosalie.

"WHO CARES? SHE'S TEARING THIS FAMILY APART, AND SHE SHOULD KNOW IT!" Rosalie answered. Nobody got to answer, because we could hear running feet, and the door open, slamming against the wall.

"Bella..." I whispered. I went to run out of the room after her, but Rosalie grabbed my arm.

"Where do you think your going? We are not done here!"

"I'm going to find Bella. After you just yelled the she was tearing apart the family! She isn't, you are. And I think it's high time you knew that." I growled, shaking her hand off me.

"I was here first. I excepted her living with us. I never said I'd be nice to her-" Rosalie started.

"Your only mad because she gets attention, and you don't. Your just jealous of her! And you need to get over it, and get over yourself. Your not the center of the universe, and you never will be...you need to learn that. Now I don't have time to talk to you, I have to find Bella." I sneered, pushing past everyone who stood frozen in shock.

BELLA POV:

I don't know where I was, how long I've been running, or even if they noticed I'm gone.

All I know is it is cold, wet, dark, I was thirsty, hungry, tired, and scared. I found a hollowed out tree on the ground, that I could sleep in, and get shelter from the now falling rain.

I climbed in, and pulled myself together in a ball. I kept my back to the closed part, so I could see if anyone or thing, comes. It was a little warmer here in the tree than out in the rain.

My once white stockings were now almost as brown as my hair, my sandles were somewhere in the woods. I lost them when I fell into a creek. I had got pretty scratched up, but no blood, or I would have passed out. I had bruises all over from falling, or running into trees. I had to run from a snake and ended up losing it, when I ran through a dirty lake. There were fish in it, but that was it, and for that I was lucky. I had been walking, crying, mostly from what happened at the house, but partly from pain in my feet, because of rocks and sticks.

"Bella!" I heard someone call in the distance...Jasper.

No! Why are they here? What could they possible want with me? To make me feel worse?
"Bella!" This one was closer, and sounded like Alice.

"BELLA!" This one was to my left a little ways and was Emmett.

"Bella!" Carlisle.

"Bella!" Esme... and she was right next to the lake, I could she her outline.

"Bella!" And Edward. Esme dissapeared for a few minutes, then they were all there.

Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme. Rosalie didn't come, no surprise there.

"I can smell her around here..." Esme whispered.

"I can see her, and she's watching us, right now as we speak." Alice said. Oh no.

They all snapped there heads around to Alice after she say's this.

"She is in a tree in looks like, and in is right around here..."

I looked around and noticed there were at least 35 other tree trunks around here.

Maybe they would look in a few and give up!

"Hurry! She is going to try and run again!" Alice yelled.

They all rushed over and began looking. Emmett went to look in the one right next to mine.

He was coming towards mine, and I didn't know what to do...I got it. Fool Emmett.

I turned around so my back was to entrance, and made it look like I was a piece of moss.

I heard Emmett behind me, grummble something about me not being in this one.

And then he walked off. He was always easy to fool...

EDWARD POV:

"Where is she?" I heard from everyones thoughts...except for Rosalie, who was giving herself a manicure back at the house.

"Nope...not here." Emmett would say when he found an empty trunk.

After about 5 minutes we had gone through them all...and no Bella.

"Guys...she heard me say that I could see her watching us. Right now, she is in one of the logs...and is closest to Esme's leg. She can't see Esme's face, only her leg. She is in one of the trunks that Emmett checked...she tricked you Emmett. She rolled over so her back covered the entrence and looked like moss...since she was wearing a green shirt. Check Emmett's tree trunks." Alice whispered, too low for Bella to hear.

Bella POV:

They all had huddled together in a circle and were talking. I was the closest to Esme, I couldn't see her face, but I could see her legs. Then all of a sudden they all broke apart, and headed towards the logs that Emmett had checked. Emmett had checked 6, so they all took one.

And Edward had the one I was in...I tried to roll over so my face was hidden, but couldn't move. My hair was stuck on a twig. Edward moved some of the tall grass away from the whole of the trunk...and came face to face with me.

Edward POV:

I hate the woods. There are too many animals, with heartbeats, so we couldn't find Bella that easily. I moved the tall grass out of my way, and came face to face with Bella.

Her eyes were wide, and puffy. She had been crying.

"Bella..." I whispered, getting everyone's attention. They all ran over to see her, staring up at me, shaking. I pulled her out of the tree, held her close it my arms, while she cried.

"Oh...Bella." Alice and Esme whispered at the same time, dry sobbing.

I carried her back to the house, at human speed, the others following.

Bella had gotten about 2 miles into the woods. We had lose her scent at a creek, but picked it up again, from a tree near by. Alice had found her shoes stuck in it.

Then we lost her scent at the small lake, and we found no body near by. So we figured she was hiding somewhere, before Alice had her vision. I gently rubbed Bella's back, while she cried...she cried herself to sleep.
