As usual unedited and uninhibited- oh and the spacing is funny and wouldn't let me fix it so sorry. R and R.
Emma's P.O.V.
Eighth
period rolled around and my sister was not in gym, I knew the
reason, Bella was a, blood just wasn't her thing. I guess
it was a
good thing she left, the basketball game was more
violent then before
now that the other team decided to fight
back.
When gym as over I walked to my
locker and got out the books I would
need for the weekend.
I closed my locker and was greeted by a
bell-like
voice.
"Hi Emma, I'm Alice and I was
told to drive you home," I looked at her
like she had five
heads. "My brother took your sister home and she
advised
him that it would be beneficial to everyone if you stayed of
the
road,"
"Yea I get that a lot," I
said now walking next to her as we made our
way to the car.
"I have to warn you, the truck goes zero to twenty in
seven
point six hours,"
"That's ok, that
gives us more time to talk," I smiled, what was there
to talk
about I thought to myself as I climbed in the cab. We pulled
out of the parking lot and onto the main street. "How do
you like
Forks?" she asked looking over at me.
"It
is okay, I kind of miss
my old life but starting new again isn't
as
bad as Hollywood makes it seem,"
"Nothing
is as bad as Hollywood makes it seem," she said sounding like
she
was hinting at something that I didn't pick up. "If you
don't mind
me asking, why did you move?"
"My
mom got remarried and her new husband plays minor league baseball
so
he would travel a lot. My mom would stay home with Bella and me
but
we knew it made her unhappy. Besides it's been a
while since Charlie
has seen us,"
"That was very selfless of the two of you,"
"Thanks,"
I said awkwardly. What do you say to that? We pulled up
to
the house and she killed the engine. "Thanks for
the ride,"
""Anytime, I have a feeling we are going to be great friends,"
I
smiled, "that would be nice," we walked to the front door.
Edward
was waiting on the other side.
"Alice we have to go," he said walking out the door.
"Hello
to you too Edward," I said waving to him as he and Alice climbed
in his Silver Volvo. Where was a baseball bat when you
needed it?
Stupid shiny=2
0Volvo owner, I remarked in my
head. "Bella your boy toy
is very rude," I said sitting
next to her on the couch.
"No, just bipolar," she said.
"By the way, I
think you left before Mike told the group, we have to
meet
everyone tomorrow outside Mike's parent's Sports Store at eleven
a.m.,"
"How do we get ourselves
into boring stuff like this?" she asked
groaning.
"I ask myself that all the time," I said stealing the remote from her.
"Don't you have homework to do?" she asked glaring at me.
"Don't you?" I asked back, two can play this game.
"I did, but since I left I finished it,"
"I'll
do mine later," she gave me a look. "Fine mother, I'll be
up in
my room," I said slinging my bag over my shoulder.
I walked into my
bedroom and flopped on my bed, took out my math
books and started my
homework. It wasn't long before my
first distraction came. My phone
was ringing and across the
front screen was the words Miss USA.
"Yes Jess?" I answered.
"Do you get this
math
?" she asked.
"I'm not one
hundred percent sure. I'm just winging it and coming up
answers according to the list of solutions in the back of the
book.
Call Eric, he should explain it
better,"
"Alright, well thanks
anyway. See you tomorrow, bye," she hung up. I
finished my homework and hoped online. Checking my e-mail I
noticed
Renee sent a majority of the.
Hey sunspot,
Phil and I were just talking about you.
Florida is gorgeous you would
love it. If you want I will
talk to Charlie about letting you spend
the summer with us, if
you want that is. Well I have to go to the next
open house,
Phil and I are currently renting. Get back to me, I love
you.
Mom.
I wrote a quick
e-mail back explaining how Bella and I are going to La
Push
tomorrow and I also gave her and update on school. I sent it
and
ran down stairs. "Bella, I'm done!" I shouted as
I reached the last
step.
Bella Pov:
"Bella, I'm done!" Em shouted as she thundered down the steps.
I
rolled my eyes at my twin's antics. Sometimes I felt like a mother
with an extremely ill behaved two year old instead of
a
teenager with a
twin sister.
I just sighed as I stuck the Shepherd's Pie in the oven.
When
I glanced up, Em had boosted herself up onto the counter, and was
chewing on one of the extra carrots. "What's up Doc?" she
joked.
Before I could respond, the door
opened and Charlie came in. He hung up
his rifle, and the two of
us looked at each other before bursting into
laughter: flashbacks
of old Bugs Bunny cartoons, flashed in our brains.
When
we had calmed down a little, I served up the plates, and everyone
sat down. For a few minutes we all ate in appreciative silence-
if I
did say so myself, it was yummy.
After
a few minutes something occurred to me. "Hey Char…Dad? Why did
you have your rifle on you today?"
It
was strange, though out my childhood, I had never seen Charlie take
the rifle out of the house besides once when there was a huge
black
bear in our yard. Even then he just shot off a warning
shot.
"Well, Bells, there have been a
few bear sightings close to the town,
and yesterday a hiker
disappeared and we found bloody prints near his
tent. They are a
little wrong for a bear, but it's the only thing that
makes
sense with paws that big."
0D
"A bear?" Em and I both questioned in twin mode.
"You're
not in Phoenix anymore girls. And speaking of which, stay out
of
the woods. Ok?"
I giggled. "Dad, when have I ever been the hiking kind of girl?"
He nodded. "Emma?"
I answered for her.
"Dad, any bear that went up against Em, would be
running away
with his tail between his legs. Well figuratively
speaking, but
you know what I mean," I quipped.
At
the same time Em, grudgingly promised. I knew her interest was kind
of sparked by the giant bears, but she wasn't stupid enough to
go
looking for them.
As we finished dinner, and dug
into the strawberry cobbler I had made,
it was Charlie's turn
to ask a question.
"So have you girls
met any boys?" There was a slight trepidation to his
question,
as though he wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
"Well,
Bella…" Em began, and I knew she was going to say the name
Edward Cullen, so I cut in.
"Hasn't
found anyone she likes in town. But Em has have the guy
population
following her around. Like mr-it's-La-Push-baby-himself,
Eric
Yorkey, and Mike Newton. She is a20man eater Pops."
"Uh,
uh. Mike is purely your golden retriever with the way he follows
you
around Bells," Em said at the same time, Charlie said.
"Good
for you Emma, you make those boys scared," Charlie said,
completely missing the definition of a man eater.
Later
when we were upstairs hanging in my room, Em began the third
degree.
"Why did you tell Charlie you didn't like anyone? I though you
liked Edward Cullen- though I don't understand why. And
by the way I
think I am rubbing off on you, nice lying."
"I
didn't lie," I said indignantly. "Edward doesn't live in
town," I
qualified, causing my twin to burst into
laughter.
Emma's P.O.V.
"I'm so proud of you," I said making my voice crack.
"Proud?" She asked giving me a quizzical look.
"Yes, that was a very cleverly disguised lie,"
"It was not a lie technically,"
"Was too,"
"Was not,"
"Was too,"
"The only thing that is two is
you," she s
aid,
"Yea, too awesome for words," she rolled her eyes.
"Never mind, Em,"
"So, how much of that
bear story did you believe," I said throwing
myself on her bed
staring at the ceiling. She followed in pursuit
hitting her
head on the headboard in the process.
"Ouch,"
she rubbed her head before lying down and staring at the
ceiling
too. "I don't know it seems pretty unrealistic, but we both
made the promise to Charlie,"
"But
Bella," I whined. "What if it's a crazy murder out for
revenge
like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"
"Emma,
I think you need to lay off the scary movies. Charlie sad it
was an animal attack,"
"He seemed a little unsure,"
"But Bella,
I saw something out my window the other night," I said
pulling
myself up.
"And what would that have been?"
"I don't know. It was
too dark to see. It looked like a deer but was
way too
big,"
"You do realize bears can walk on all fours,"
"Yes, but this thing
wa
s thinner than a bear,"
"Emmy
it was probably your imagination," I sighed giving up. I know
what I saw and I as going to find out what it was. I know I
promised,
but it is unlikely for me to keep a promise once
curiosity gets a hold
of me. The only problem standing in
my way would be finding a time
when Bella and Charlie are not
around. My thoughts were interrupted by
Bella. "If
you want you can sleep in my room tonight,"
I
smiled reminiscing on the younger days, when either of us had a
nightmare or were scared we would sneak into each other's room,
wake
the other and sleep in their bed it was a way of comfort,
Renee had
told us one day when she woke us up for school.
"That's okay Bells," I
said holding back laughter as was
Bella. I looked at the digital clock
on her nightstand.
"Looks like I need to turn in I'll see you tomorrow
bright
and early?" I asked receiving a groan in reply.
I
walked to my room and looked out the window to confirm nothing was
out there before hoping into bed and turning out the
lights.
