This one is going out to suicide.rin , YOU ROCK!! If you can't tell, I'm a little excited. : D, Well, anyway, on with the story!
The ride here was long, bumpy, boring and did I mention long. I truly hated driving on winding roads, can't go nearly as fast. But it was all worth it because now I was in one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been. It was a clearing that was surrounded by very large, old trees on three sides and on the last side there was a drop-off (hopefully Bella wouldn't fall off of it) that fell about a hundred feet before starting to slope again. My first thought was… rock climbing! I was so going to challenge someone to race me to the top. There was a beautiful little spring that wound its way through our clearing, giving us ample supply of water that we could filter out for Bella.
"Wow." I mumbled quietly when I slid out of the driver's side of my truck.
"Oh, shiz" was Bella's response when she saw the drop-off. I giggled.
"Bella, calm. I won't let you fall." Edward told her reassuringly. I heard Emmett mumble something to Jasper that sounded something like 'and he won't let me push you….don't give me that look. I'd catch her too'
It was around 11:30 when we arrived, about time for Bella to eat, again. Eating isn't something that I really miss about being human. It was so annoying and not nearly as fun as hunting.
Alice and I volunteered to put up the tents while the others started a fire.
"Tonight is going to be so much fun!" I said while grabbing the first tent.
"I know. We'll have to stay up late telling stories, and then in the morning, I'm making waffles!" Alice said, quoting one of my favorite parts from Shrek. I laughed and threw another tent at her; she caught it, of course. One tent down, four more to go.
It took us no time at all to put up the tents so we went over to see how the fire was going.
I almost laughed at loud when I say that out of seven vampires, all over at least fifty and one human all they had was a stack of badly piled wood and about twenty broken matches.
"Stand back and let the master work." I said in a loud and awesome voice. I felt like a scout master teaching all the little tigers to start a fire for the first time. I moved the wood around so it had a base like a cabin and a top like a tepee. Then I went over to the edge of the woods quickly to get some moss and little sticks to use as an insulator. They all backed way up when I grabbed the matches and some lighter fluid I had packed.
I covered the wood in 'girl scout juice' as I like to call it and made a little line out of the ring of rocks. This way I wouldn't be right next to it when it burst into flames. Yes, I know, I'm a vampire and could just move out of the way quick enough, but this is way more fun.
I lit my match and said loudly like some chief of something before a big battle "This, my children is how you make a fire." With that I dropped the match directly on the line of fire fluid and it raced across the line I made and over the rock ring. The wood burst into flame making a few people jump. "My job here is done"
After having to teach everyone my amazingly awesome fire starting method we grabbed some hot dogs and pokers so Bella wouldn't starve.
"OHHH, I want to make your hotdog. I'll do it better then Emmett, I promise" Alice begged when Bella was about to start roasting it.
"No, I can make my ow- Wait, Emmett never asked." Bella said, very confused
"I know but he will." Alice chirped
"Yeah, she's right! Not that she'd do better, but I wanna roast it!" Emmett cried
"Fine, you can each do one. Happy?" She sighed in defeat
After 20 minutes, one flaming hot dog coughemmettcough and a brief argument about having to sing the 'Alice is always better' song, Bella was finally done eating.
For the rest of the afternoon we either took walks around the rather large clearing, played Frisbee (Kade and I won!) rock climbed (I beat Emmett and Jasper in this also and they now owe me 20 bucks each) or listened to some random music that Alice brought.
Night fell and Carlisle had to go back to town because of an emergency at the hospital and Esme didn't feel that she should stay and throw off the whole couples thing we had going on, so it was just us 'kids'. To bad we are all old enough to be Bella's parents or grandparents.
"Let's roast marshmallows!" Alice and I yelled at the same time. No one had talked in over a minute and it sounded really fun.
'How much do you think I can eat, gosh, I'm about to explode" Groaned Bella from Edward's lap.
I whispered quietly for Jasper to make her feel hungry and he did to politely.
"Hmm, well, maybe a few marshmallows wouldn't be all bad" Bella said, rubbing her tummy "All those hot dogs and chips are wearing off."
"YAY! We can each make you one" I said, extremely excited.
"Pass" Said Jasper, Rosalie and Edward at the same time. Boring pants, it's fun to try to explode a human by messing with what they think they feel.
Alice's and mine were both a beautiful golden brown but, once again, Emmett lit his on fire. I really think he just liked to hold something flaming, although it did look fun.
Bella peeled the burnt part off of Emmett's and ate his first then she ate Alice's. Mine was next and Bella stood up and walked over to get it off my poker. And then….
"OH SHIZ!!" She yelled falling head first into the fire. She tripped over a rock the size of your pinky nail, we had tried to avoid this be moving all rocks that were possibly big enough to trip someone, but Bella is obviously able to trip over flat ground.
I wouldn't have seen what happened next without my vampire sight. Bella was falling and Edward jumped off his hinny, threw himself at Bella grabbed her right before he hit her, then he swung her around so she would land on top of him on the opposite side of the fire pit. In all my years, I have never seen a vampire move that fast, let alone to save a human. If this wasn't love then I didn't know what was. If that fire would have brushed his skin for any amount of time, he could have gone up in smoke.
"wow" Bella said, breaking our amazed silence. She rolled off of him with a hmff and looked into his eyes. "Thank you, darling." She said kissing his nose. Then she bounced up and got my marshmallow.
'Holy cow, Edward that was quick' I thought to him, he smiled and would have blushed if he had not been a vampire. (Of course if he wasn't a vampire he couldn't have heard my thought and wouldn't have been able to move that fast anyway.)
The rest of the night was rather mild compared to that, no more near death experiences for Bella tonight, but there always is tomorrow.
Thanx for reading this far, and thanx for those who reviewed, all two of you. Seriously people, ten chapters and only two review, that's weak. So, please review, that'd rock, and so would you.
