As Rosalie used a butter knife to smooth down the mayo, Alice flicked her gaze towards her. Caius continued to push Alice forward before telling Rosalie to get back to work.

Aro pushed the swinging door back to allow himself to enter the kitchen. Rosalie's body quickly jerked back as she quickly pushed the plateful of sandwiches towards Aro.

"See. If you remain quiet we'll get along just fine." Aro commented, gliding towards Rosalie.

"Take a seat on the counter." he ordered, pushing the plate of sandwiches to the side.

Aro watched Rosalie slide onto the counter as her worried eyes averted from him to the door.

"What do you know?" Aro asked leaning against the countertop beside Rose.

"About?"

"You know…" Aro pushed on impatiently.

"No, I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about." Rose whispered, nervously as Aro stepped towards her.

"Are you getting smart with me?" he questioned clenching his fists.

"No! I just want to know what you want me to tell you!" she exclaimed as her bottom lip quivered with nervousness.

"Damn it Rosalie! Answer the question!" Aro shouted causing her to lean back away from him.

Rosalie turned away from Aro and gazed her eyes towards the window. She saw Emmett and Marcus talking things over before Emmett's eyes fell towards hers.

"What made all of you decide to leave the day after we stashed the money on the boat? Did you know about the money? What do you know?" Aro interrogated approaching her cautiously.

Rosalie stared off at Emmett as Aro's questions remained flowing out of his mouth."I swear!…If you don't answer me-" Aro started, pointing his gun towards the air.

"You'll do what? I'm tired of just sitting here like some pathetic bitch! I've been swallowing my tongue ever since you all came into this house. I'm done! Why should I answer you…Any of you for that matter? All you guys do is demand things of us and I bet you all are planning on killing us! Why should I help you move the process up quicker?" Rosalie yelled, inhaling a sharp breath after finishing.

Aro dropped his gun as he stormed towards Rosalie. He drew his hand back and sharply smacked her in the face.

Even though the pain was immense, Rosalie overlooked it for the sake of not letting Aro have power over her. She tried everything to push the thought of the sting in her cheek to the back of her head.

"I like a girl who likes it rough." Aro commented, after seeing no hint of pain on Rose's face.

"You're not going to get any answers from me, so you might as well give it a rest. If you want to kill me…Kill me." Rose remarked, calmly, walking back towards the plate of sandwiches.

Before sighing to himself, Aro rested his hand against his head. He bit down onto his lip as he pointed the weapon at Rosalie."Ughhh!" he screamed, completely frustrated that this one girl got to him.

"Finish the sandwiches!" he demanded, taking a seat on the kitchen stool.


"Walk" Caius ordered, holding a tight grip onto Alice's arm."I can walk fine thank you! I know where we are headed! You don't need to direct me and you clearly don't need to tell me to walk! I'm not an animal!" Alice declared, snatching her arm out of his grip.

Caius slammed the basement door closed before following behind Alice down the basement stairs."Now the quicker you answer these questions the quicker we can go upstairs…" Caius started, grabbing a beer bottle out of the bar fridge.

"What do you want to know?" Alice growled, watching him in disgust as he popped the beer top with his teeth.

"What made you all come here?" Caius questioned, as Alice answered with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Did you know the money was on the boat?" he wondered, watching Alice shake her head 'no'.

"Do your parents know about the money?" he asked. Alice continued shaking her head 'no'.

Caius set his beer bottle down, before sulking towards her. He inhaled a sharp breath and lowered his face to be eye level with her.

"I'm going to ask you one more question and I want an answer." he growled, turning away.

"I don't want your parents thinking something is wrong, so did they ever ask any of you to contact them?" Caius questioned, staring at Alice through his peripheral vision.

Caius sharply turned around and stormed towards Alice. He used his muscular hand to grip Alice's neck, and lift her into the air. Alice used her perfectly manicured nails to scratch at Caius' hand. "I want audible answers!" he shouted, as he released her.

Alice wrapped her arms around her waist as she began coughing uncontrollably.

"We came here because we wanted to enjoy our summer break before going off to college. No we didn't know the money was on the boat. No our parents don't know about the money. And no they never told us to contact them. They just told us to be safe." Alice answered, grabbing a water bottle from the bar's refrigerator.

"Good girl!" Caius laughed, patting the top of her head as if she was a dog.


Laurent watched Aro go back into the kitchen before turning his undivided attention to Bella.

"Question time." Laurent said, with no hint of amusement on his face.

"When do your parents expect all of you back?"

"In two weeks, but we could stay longer if we wanted to." Bella answered, avoiding eye contact.

"How much will all of this food last?"

"If each of us eat the right amount about three weeks but we can always go out there to hunt and fish." Bella quickly said, as her eyes gazed towards Emmett talking outside with Marcus.

Marcus was pacing back and forth as Emmett looked on nervously. His gaze turned towards Bella, and he nodded his head at her, to help her relax. She read his lips, which mouthed 'you're going to be okay.'

Bella ran her hand down her face before getting ready to answer more questions.

"What about drinks and water?""That could last us along time, including the alcohol." Bella stated, crossing her legs.

"Do you have any weapons around here?" "No…Not that I know."What about a way of contacting someone?""You took our cell phones."

"Well, that's all. You did yourself a favor by not getting smart." Laurent commented, setting his gun down onto the coffee table.

"What are all of you planning on doing here, with the money, and with us?" Bella asked, causing Laurent to quickly pick up the gun."Don't! Don't ask questions, especially if you enjoy your life." Laurent warned, sliding it into his pocket.

"Move over!" He ordered, sliding into the small space beside Bella.

"I hope your friend hurries up with those sandwiches! It's getting late and I'm hungry!" Laurent complained, resting his feet onto the coffee table.


Victoria pushed Jasper through the back door of the house and she followed him down the stairs and deeper into the backyard. She kept her gun close just in case he decided to do something while she wasn't paying attention.

"I really don't have any questions! I just wanted to get you alone!" Victoria giggled, throwing her arms around Jasper.

Jasper immediately pushed her away. Victoria giggled to herself as she moved towards him once again.

"You're so lucky you're cute! I'm not a rough chick! I like it long and slow! So work on that roughness you got there cowboy." Victoria purred, into Jasper's ear.

She moved her hands down his back and onto his butt. Jasper quickly smacked her hands away, causing her to laugh out in agony.

"Why must you treat me so mean?" Victoria whined, rubbing her hand."I have a girlfriend!" Jasper bellowed, storming towards the house."Which one is it? The blonde? What about the brunette? Or is it the short girl?" Victoria asked, crossing her arms.

"That's none of your business." Jasper remarked, turning away from her.

"How about I make it my business?" Victoria growled, pulling her gun out."You would literally kill for me? You just met me!" Jasper exclaimed, grabbing onto her arm.

"What can I say? I fight for what I want! And I want you." Victoria roared, snatching her arm out of Jasper's hand.

Jasper watched Victoria pull out her gun and run towards the house. Is she serious? She would really do that for me! She only knew me for how long?… Jasper picked up his pace and started chasing after Victoria. She walked into the living room and pulled her gun out on Bella.

"What are you doing?" I shouted, as Victoria smiled at me."Is it her?" she asked, pulling the trigger back.

"No, she's just a friend!" Jasper yelled, watching her lower the gun.

Bella looked between us as if we were crazy. Victoria turned on her heel and walked into the kitchen. After making sure Bella was okay Jasper followed after her.

"What about her?" Victoria asked, moving closer to Rosalie."Jasper what's going on?" Rose remarked, looking between me and the gun pointed at her.

"Victoria put the gun down!" Jasper shouted, moving towards her.

"You didn't answer my question!" she hollered in return.

"No, she's my sister!"

Victoria smiled to herself before trudging towards the basement."Okay, you know who my girlfriend is! You can't kill her! I will never be with you!" Jasper proclaimed, turning Victoria around to face me.

"I do like being the other woman." She giggled, before walking back into the living room.


James followed Edward up the stairs and down the hallway before turning him around.

"Look, I don't really know what they want me to ask you. So, if you have anything that I need to know, tell me," James murmured, nervously, pacing in front of me.

"I don't have anything to say." I responded, watching him head back towards the stairs.

"Wait!" I shouted, stopping him from going down the stairs.

James slowly turned around. He dropped the nervous expression off of his face.

"You shouldn't let them walk all over you-" I continued, causing him to raise his hand to silence me.

"I can tell you don't want to do this. You should take control." Edward finished.

"No, be quiet! I should be asking questions right now!" James shouted, running his hand down his face.

"I have a proposition for you. If you help us, we won't tell the cops that you had a part in this, and we'll even pay you for your help." Edward proposed, offering his hand towards James.

James didn't respond. He turned on his heel and proceeded the down the stairs. I inhaled a sharp breath before following him.


Emmett followed Marcus lead out of the house. Marcus pulled each weapon he had out of his pockets and laid them onto the table on the patio.

"Sit." Marcus ordered. Emmett's gaze landed on the kitchen.

He saw Rose staring at him. So badly, he wanted to assure her that everything will be okay. But, he knew…At this moment…He couldn't. He turned his attention to Bella, and thought since she was closer maybe he could at least attempt to assure her. Emmett opened his mouth to mouthed the words you're going to be okay.

During this entire time Marcus was asking questions and Emmett didn't hear any one of them. As Marcus continued spitting out questions, Emmett continued to shrug them off. Marcus walked towards the table, and quickly grabed his gun. "Answer my questions." He growled, pointing the gun at Emmett's forehead.

"Once you aren't protected by that gun, I'm going to kill you." He replied, through gritted teeth.

Marcus erupted into a loud laugh. He set his gun down and continued laughing before finally calming down.

"Lets get back to the questions." Marcus started back up.
