Edward's POV:

"Carlisle, this isn't fair!" I protested as he dragged Emmett and I into the house by our arms. "It was Jasper's fault, not mine!"

"Edward, you're the one who broke the rules, not Jasper." He said angrily. He released his grip on Emmett's arm to open the door. He pulled me in and Emmett followed behind us with his head down. He leads us to the living room.

"Jasper provoked me!" I continued to defend myself.

"Both of you, sit!" He demanded and pointed to the couch.

I plopped down with my arms crossed and an angry scowl on my face. Emmett sat on the edge of the couch with his elbows on his knees. He kept a look on his face that was similar to a look of a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I knew it was all an act, but Carlisle was actually buying it.

"I'm disappointed in both of you." Carlisle said after taking a moment to calm down. "You both know the rules of this house, and you both broke them today."

"I didn't break any rules!" I huffed. "Jasper's the one who broke the rules."

"Really, Edward? You're completely innocent?" He asked with one cocked eyebrow. I sunk down lower in my seat, knowing he would tell me just why I'm not completely innocent in his eyes. "Let's go over what you did today. One, you told me you were going to find them only to hunt. It's hard for me to believe that was your true intention when you confronted Jasper as soon as you found him. Two, you know Jasper has issues with his control. It is extremely inconsiderate for you to say it was all his fault when you provoked him while you were thirsty. When was the last time you hunted?"

"Two weeks ago." I mumbled the answer.

"That is obviously too long. We all need to be considerate of Jasper's gift, and that means going hunting regularly so he doesn't pick up on our thirst." Carlisle sighed. "But that is more my fault than yours. I shouldn't have let you go that long without hunting."

"That's not fair! Just because he's to uncivilized to handle himself, I have to bend my schedule to fit his needs?"

"Edward, your attitude is going to land you in more trouble." He warned. "And yes, I do expect you to bend your schedule to fit his needs. We're a family, and we help each other out as much as possible. You have one hundred and sixty eight hours in a week; it won't hurt you to devote two if those hours to hunting. You need to show some respect for your brother."

"He's not my brother." I responded bitterly.

Emmett and Carlisle both paused for a moment. Neither if them knew how to respond.

Harsh, dude. That's harsh. Emmett thought.

Stay calm, don't say what you'll regret. Carlisle bit his tongue and took a deep breath so he didn't voice his his thoughts. He's just being difficult. He's angry, that's all. Edward is just spiteful because he knows he is in trouble. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Edward, you're being very disrespectful and I expect that to change right now." He scolded and shut me out of his mind so forcefully that it actually hurt.

"I don't have to change a thing." I mumbled. Carlisle set his jaw and took a step back, taking a deep breath.

"Emmett," Carlisle said. "Would you mind stepping outside for a moment? Edward and I need to have a talk."

Hey guys, I'm back! It's been what, seven months? Dang. Anyways, this is the sequel I promised. I just added to Control instead of creating a new story :P anyways, please review!
