Another chapter up! Thanks again to my beta, you are awesome!

We were all gathered in the living room watching TV since we were stuck inside for now. Jasper and Emmett were grounded for ruining Esme's china vase while wrestling in the hall. Alice and I were stuck inside since Carlisle didn't want to test our control so soon after the incident on our hunting trip, and he was still deciding on if we should be enrolled in high school with the others, in which case we would still be stuck inside.
Edward and Rosalie couldn't go out in public since they were supposedly in Alaska, same would go for Emmett and Jasper if they hadn't gotten grounded. We had gotten closer to Rosalie and most of our time was spent with her or in Carlisle study doing tests. Carlisle had started our sessions about a week after our change. We were trying to figure out if I had any powers and exactly how Alice's power worked. He had also wanted to test our control around human blood, but he had decided against it. Alice was particularly grateful for that. She was horrified at herself for loosing control like that.
After the fifth episode of Scrubs Emmett started whining. It was a miracle that he had lasted this long.
"This is boring! We haven't heard anything about you, and Alice refuses to tell me." Alice had been acting suspicious for the past few weeks, and I knew something was up. This happened sometimes when she had her feelings and wanted to get something to go her way. I'd figured out in an early stage that she would probably not tell Emmett anything since he couldn't keep a secret to save his own life. Alice caved this time to Emmett's whining. I knew she had her reasons and my theory was confirmed by the evil grin plastered on her face.
"So what do you want to know? We will answer all your questions just fire away!" Emmett looked thoughtful for awhile before asking his first question.
"Well, did you live in Seattle?" I looked at Alice and burst out laughing after awhile Alice joined me. The others were looking at us like we were mental. I decided to explain our outburst.
"No Emmett, we lived in LA" I said still chuckling. Alice had also calmed down now. Emmett looked confused.
"So what were you doing in Seattle?" I looked at Alice and she nodded for me to continue.
"Well we were actually coming up for a surprise visit. We were going to meet the pack, but someone –coughAlicecough- needed to shop for something but now I'm actually happy that we decide to stop." They all smiled at us. This time Edward beat Emmett to the questioning.
"So what about your parents" This time Alice took over the explaining.
"Well my parents are in France at the time, or I think they are, someone must have told them about me and Bella missing. And Bella's parents are divorced. Charlie lives in LA with us, he moved down around the time when Renee got remarried to a guy named Phil. They live in Jacksonville."
"It is torture to live with newlyweds so we decided to move to LA with Alice." I added.
Esme had joined us in the living room and was now watching the news.
"Oh dear" I looked at the news and there was a pretty old picture of me and Alice on the screen. We had been fifteen at the time it was taken in Charlie's back yard when he still lived in Forks.
"We'll have to fake our deaths" I hadn't thought about how our disappearance would affect our families, they would be crushed when they found our 'bodies'. I leaned into Edward for support and he put his arm around me in a comforting matter. Emmett grabbed the remote and shut the TV.
"So when will you talk to the pack" I looked over at Alice waiting for an answer.
"Carlisle has already requested to talk to Billy and Sam, we'll be meeting them at the border line in about two hours." Okay now I was confused… Carlisle explained that vampires weren't allowed over the border. And the werewolves? Wouldn't they want to kill us? Was Jacob one already?
"Alice, how the heck is this going to work?" Would the elders overlook that they knew us before? Carlisle walked in just then.
"We won't be crossing the line and we haven't broken the treaty since we didn't change you." I felt a sense of calm take over me and I smiled at Jasper as a thanks. I hadn't noticed that I was still leaning into Edward, I quickly straightened up, I would be blushing if I could.
"What are we going to do until then?" Emmett was just about to open his mouth to answer me, but Edward beat him to it.
"Would you like to go hunting with me before we leave?" I smiled up at him and nodded.
So what do you think. Your reviews make me smile!
