Chapter 7 - declaration
Jasper's POV
I stalked into the garage grimly, hoping to get a little alone time. It seemed there were two more less-than-happy vampires also trying to do the same.
Edward was sitting in his Guardian, obviously not planning on going anywhere because his keys were still in the bowl and Rosalie was sitting in her convertible with the roof down and her eyes shut. They were both silent but their head snapped to me as I walked in.
"Ugh," I said in Rosalie's direction.
"What?" she asked in a fed-up voice.
"What was all that lust for. It's gotta be said, I don't think any of us want to feel it right now."
"None of you business," she snapped back, "Besides, I thought you were Emmett coming to grovel."
"Rose," Edward inserted, "I really don't think he's coming to grovel. If he weren't busy enough feeling sorry for himself, he's doing a pretty good job of feeling sorry for Alice and Bella. I don't think we get any sympathy."
"Actually Jasper," Rosalie said playfully, "You know what would be really funny?"
"What?" I asked, leaning on the side of my motorbike.
"Well, if you just sent that little wave of lust over to the house..."
"Right Rosalie, the house is a really long way from here."
"Alice is too busy with our dear brothers and sisters to notice anything we do, we could go a little closer" remarked Edward who had got out the car and was now standing a few paces from the garage door.
"Fine, whatever, but I need someone else to get a little lusty then." I agreed; as much as I liked Alice to be all mine, this could be funny.
Edward and Rosalie turned their thoughts a little lusty, probably to the night before Esme and Carlisle left and I let the waves rip...

Emmett's POV
Alice, Bella and I sat on the sofa, all of us a little too out of it to turn the TV on. All though Bella had been annoyed, and not really sad at all, being in the presence of two sad and annoyed vampires seemed to do the trick so Alice and Bella each had a head resting on my shoulders.
"I'm sorry about this Em. Your day has been awful, I should never have even suggested Esme and Carlisle go away." apologized Bella for the millionth time.
"It's OK Bella, you didn't ask for this." I replied. Rose had been due to get in another strop with me at some point so that it happened in the worst timing possible was really no surprise.
"It'll all be worth it," repeated Alice, turning her spiky head a little so she could see Bella past my vast six pack.
Suddenly I felt very... turned on by their presence. And it seemed they felt the same, Bella was first to my lips but Alice wasn't far behind and pushed her off with her vampire strength. Bella's lips moved to my bare neck, the whole feelings lasted seconds though as our pissed partners stumbled into the room together.
It took us seconds to work it out,
"JASPER!" we screamed.
"Hey hey people," said Jasper holding up his hands, "she told me too."
The usually non-violent Bella walked up to the troublesome threesome, who in my opinion (not that Bella and Alice weren't good... but I'm married...) were asking for everything they got. Bella started at Jaspers end of the line,
"I hate you. I hate you all," she paused opposite Rose in the middle, "And you..." she didn't seem to have the right words (a situation I would happily have helped her with) and then moved on to Edward, "And as for you, you've heard the last time I call you gentlemanly. EVER!"
She turned out of the room and through the open dinging room door, and was about to wade through the river when Alice sprinted out and picked her up, probably saving her outfit; I didn't want to be left with the more moody vampires and ran after them,
"Wait for me!" I wailed.
Rosalie's POV
I watched the figures of my husband and supposed sisters and shuddered delicately. Some family I had, at least I could rely on some of them... although I never thought I would say that about Edward.
"Ha," Edward said, he seemed very bright considering he just got told good by his finance.
"Aw, she'll get over it." He said flopping over the couch.
"When you're done in my head, I think I have an idea." I said, annoyed.
Jasper, who was still mooching in the corner didn't seem impressed, "Come off it Rose, your last idea only got us in more trouble. Edward's right, they'll get over it."
Edward and I ignored him, "Nice." he commented, obviously having been in my head again.
Curiosity got the better of Jasper, "Fine, what is it?"
"Emmett was thinking we could have some little war games today, so, why don't we give him what he wanted?" And at the same time as sweet revenge, I also got one up from giving him what he wanted.
"Seriously Rosalie, lets just play nice and then once they've forgiven us we can do what Emmett wants in the afternoon." complained Jasper.
"We'll let you play Major." Taunted Edward, knowing he just wouldn't be able to resit.
"Fine," he finally agreed, pretending to regret it, "but I won't enjoy it."

Alice's POV
Emmett was thinking we could have some little war games today... I heard Rosalie say in two minuets time.
No way, I thought. They were in the bad, so we should get the honours of declaring the war.
"You know what?" Bella asked sitting on a rock carefully, we were deep into the forest where Edward couldn't hear us, "I think we should just forget about them for a while," it looked like she was doing my job for me, "Emmett, what did you say you wanted to do today?"
"I wanted to play war games but I don't really think..." said Emmett trailing off. He kicked the rock Bella was sitting on, causing the side to crumble away into fine gravel.
"Em," I urged, 60 seconds, "We could still play."
"No, I don't think we could, it wouldn't be fair, Bella would lose in seconds." he sulked.
"We could play teams?" suggested Bella.
"No really guys, somebody would have to play on their own," he carried on, oblivious to my point.
"You know Emmett, I think the Cullen kids have rather helpfully split into two equal teams already." Oh no, just 20 seconds for him to work it out, and counting...
He worked it out with five to go, "Ladies," Emmett said excitedly, "we're at war."
