sorry for not updating so quickley in my stories, but i'm trying=)
please leave reviews! here's chapter 6
I focused the beam of light on the patch of bushes that lay just two feet ahead of
me. I focused on following Jasper, who was already hacking his way deeper into the
woods. I pushed the branches out of my way, shining the beam of light on Jasper's
back.
"Jasper, do you even know where you're going?" I asked, as I climbed up a steep
incline of land. "Does Edward even know?" I asked, slightly anxious about meeting up
with Edward again.
"Yeah, we're meeting up at Pine Tree road." Jasper said, as he turned left on an
over-turned tree. Pine Tree road wasn't a road. We just called it that. Pine Tree
road was just a little dirt path with lots of Pine tree. It was dead smack in the center
of the woods.
"That's where we're meeting?" I asked, I thought he'd have picked someplace
special. I felt goosebumps rise up my arms. It was getting cold. In Forks, the weather
was predictable. But today, the weather seemed ominous, unpredictable. I didn't like
that. I didn't like surprises. It seemed only Alice did. She had strong premonitions.
When we'd finally managed to make it to Pine Tree Road, Alice and Edward
were already their, sitting under a pine tree.
"You brought the elf?" Jasper asked, wearing a disgusted face. Alice stuck
her tongue out at him.
"hey, Eddie." I said flatly. Edward's head snapped up, his green eyes narrowed
and angry. But the expression faded. His green eyes were impenetrable.
"Emmett." Edward said, casting a dark look at Jasper, who shrugged. I saw
Alice staring at the waterproof tote bag Jasper was carrying.
She raised her eyebrows at him,"What's that?" "Wouldn't you like to know." Jasper
said, smugly. I could tell Alice was irrated with him. His smile was getting on my nerves,
I had to admit. "C'mon, just tell us." I said, irratibly.
"Well.... you'll never guess what's inside." Jasper said, a smirk crossing his
features. "Oh, what is it Jasper? just tell me, the suspense is killing me." Alice said
sarcastically. Jasper shot her a look."Fine." he snapped,"It's camping gear."
"What?!" I asked, staring at him. Camping gear? it wasn't like Jasper
to go out and camp out in the woods. "I thought you hated the wilderness." I said,
with a slight grin. "It's just for the sake of you two drama queens. I don't understand
why you and Eddie can't just kiss and make up." Jasper said dryly. Edward shot
him a look. I groaned. I mentally kicked myself in the shins. Why had I listened to
Jasper anyway? It was clear that Edward would never forgive me.
"Here," Jasper said, tossing me and Edward a leather sheet,"You guys
can set up your tent." I glared at him. Now he was expecting us to sleep in the
same tent together.
"No way." I growled defiantly. "Too bad." Alice said, examining her nails.
I stared at her. "It's the only way you guys will make up." Alice said with a shrug.
"Sure." Edward said sarcastically. Then he turned to me,"You can fetch
the sticks." It was a command, not a question. I glared at him. "Happy to oblige."
I saw Jasper starting a fire, frustratedly cursing under his breath. The fire wouldn't
start. 'Serves him right' I thought. I grunted, and set off towards deeper into the woods.
I scoffed at my foolishness. stupid Jasper. Stupid Edward. Stupid me. I gathered a
couple of sturdy sticks that were on the floor. Though I wasn't sure if they could hold
the tent together. I glanced behind me, and spotted something at the corner of my eye.
It was something big. But it was still. Was it an Indian? I contemplated on whether I
should confront the Indian, or leave him or her alone. 'what the heck? nothing's going to
happen.' I thought, figuring they would flee the moment I opened my mouth. I started
for the figure. I was about a foot away, when I focused the light on the figure. It wasn't
an Indian. It was a bear, with it's eyes glinting at me. It looked hungry. It let out a growl,
and I stumbled back. But I was too shocked to turn and run. The bear stood up on its
hind legs, and ripped through my clothes with his claws. At first, I was shocked, no pain
came until a moment later, when I realized I could be killed any moment now. The bear
knocked me to the ground,it's claws digging into my arms, cutting through the flesh. I
screamed, frantically hitting the bear with the flashlight. But it was only plastic, and I
doubted it would take any effect on the bear. I screamed untill my throat felt raw,
and at first, I didn't believe anyone was coming. Then I heard footsteps, quick and
frantic.
Then, suddenly, the bear was flung onto the ground. I couldn't see.
My vision was getting blurred, but I could see Rosalie's outline. She was standing
in front of the bear, bent over it. Suddenly, she was at my side. Her eyes were
concerned.
"Emmett!" Alice's shrill voice cut through the air. I saw Edward
and Jasper lifting me up, their breaths pouring out quickley. Pain coursed
through my entire body. I let out a yelp.
"Shit, his ribs are broken." Edward said. Jasper's face was white,
and fading through my eyes. I heard Rosalie's voice, but I couldn't hear what she
said, my vision darkened, and I couldn't see, and couldn't hear. There wasn't a
doubt in my head that I was going to die. I could already feel it.
