Chapter Eight

Emmett's Pictonary Game

We sat around the table. It was amazing to have my brother back. I kept glancing at him and I noticed that he was doing the same. Of course we both had to be on the same team, which meant that we had to sit across from each other.

Edward came in and sat down as did Bella. "No fair using thoughts." I told them both.

"We have blocked them." They both replied and laughed and the stunned expression on Edgard's face.

"You can read minds?" He asked and seemed to be consentrating.

"Fuzzy bunnies?" Bella asked and laughed.

"That is so strange." He said.

"Come now lets play." Edward said and took the dice.

"Low roll goes first." I told my brother.

"A one which means our team goes first." Edward said and moved his piece one space and drew a card. He then started to draw.

"A beatle." Alice said.

"Correct." Edward replied and then it was our turn.

"It goes around in a circle, your closest to Edward so you go first, I am second closest so I go second and so on." I told him and he nodded. He drew a card and smiled. It only took him the time to draw the antlers before I knew what it was.

"A deer." I said and grinned we spent the rest of the day playing pictionary. By the second game both Alice Jasper Carlisle and Esme had joined the game. It was a lot of fun. Edgard and Alexa started yawning around sundown.

"Mind if we hit the hay?" My twin asked and I stared. "My talent is being able to sleep."

"Goodness knows that's a good one for you. We had to put you in icewater before you would wake up some days." I said and laughed a gleam coming to my eyes.

"Don't you think about it, Emmett Nathanal Broadvark." My brother said in a errire imatation of our mother's voice.

"Yes Ma." I replied and we both started to laugh so hard that we made the table shake.

"Twin shake, duck and cover." Alexa said and took Rosalie's hand. They hid under the table in mock terror which made us laugh all the harder. Soon the whole house was shaking.

"Boys stop before you break something." Esme said and my brother gasped out.

"Ma." Which of course started us off again it took twenty whole minutes for us to stop laughing. It felt so good to be able to laugh with him again. As kids we were seldom apart, so much together that my brother got a strange hair cut to tell us apart.

"See you still look like the bowl of pudding." I said and he smiled at me.

"Yep pudding head I shall stay forever." We both laughed when my brother first attempted the hair cut he didn't realize that our mother was using the bowl, he got splattered in tapioca. The little girls licked it off his hair and body. He yawned.

"Come on pudding head, I will show you to the guest room." I took his hand and he stared at our hands and I realized that I was staring as well. It was amazing that he was here with me. I took him and Alexa up to the guest room.

"Would you like to sleep? I don't know how long it lasts for vampires." He told me. I thought of being asleep forever but then I realized that this was my brother.

"Sure I replied and he bit me. It stung for about a moment before I was pushed into a pool of darkness.
