The crisp smell of pine needles and moss encircled my head as Emmett set me down onto the ground. The fact that it had taken Jasper and Emmett a good three minutes to run here had me guestimating that we were about four miles from the house. I grimaced slightly as I observed my surroundings, thousands of trees that all looked exactly the same with roots that appeared all too treacherous as they bent out of the ground. Emmett laughed heartily as he read over the expression on my face. Okay good, so not only was I going to kill myself tripping over those stupid twisted roots but I was also going to get lost. Awesome.

"What if we get lost?" I asked. Emmett chortled loudly.

"Bella, please. Don't embarrass us." He guffawed. "We know exactly where we are." I sighed loudly and crossed my arms in front of my chest. He grabbed my side, a fierce giggle erupted from my chest, and I jumped about two feet to the left. He was doubled over in laughter when I turned to glare at him. "Aw don't be difficult Grumps." He punched me lightly on the shoulder. He was still in a fit of deep giggles as I pushed him back.

I smiled slightly and decided that I shouldn't allow my innate sarcasm ruin the sunny day.

"So here's how we'll start…" Emmett began. I scuffed my feet nervously. Let's do some math here. Two vampires, with superhuman speed, vision, hearing, and smell, a small human girl who had a knack for near death experiences due to her clumsiness, and a game called hide and seek. This was going to be fun. "…Bella you can hide first. We'll give you, uh, three minutes?" Jasper nodded. And Emmett continued, "okay so three minutes, and you're going to hide from us, and then we'll seek you."

Thanks Mrs. First-grade-teacher, I do believe I remember how to play a game of hide and seek. I thought…so much for no more sarcasm. That actually made me smile, maybe a little more of Edward had rubbed off on me than I had noticed.

"Ready? Go!" Emmett yelled, his low voice dripping with enthusiasm. My heart lurched in my chest. I began to jog carefully through the identical trees, keeping my eyes wary for any stray roots that could plant me on my face. He yelled from behind me, "Careful not to trip Bella. Edward will kill us if he comes back and you have even one scratch on you!" Emmett's laughter shook pine needles and leaves from some of the trees.

This is going to be pathetic. I could hear Emmett yell, "One more minute!" He sounded WAY too excited. I spun around trying to think of where to hide. I looked up on a whim and spotted a very tall tree. To climb or not to climb? "Thirty seconds!" I had to make this at least a little bit fun right? Standing behind a tree wouldn't even begin to count as an effort to hideSo I jogged quickly over to the tree and began to pull myself into the branches, higher and higher until I heard, "Ready or not! Here we come!" My heart slammed in my chest.

I wondered foolishly for a moment if vampires could climb trees. Of course they can. Vampires can do everything. But what if they were so strong that they just yanked the branches down as they tried to climb them? I was so wrapped in my thoughts I didn't notice the trunk rustle beneath my arms and legs. I glanced up.

"Boo." Emmett's playful exclamation made my heart jump out of my chest. I gasped instinctively and immediately shut my eyes as I felt my balance faltering. Oh no. I realized a moment too late what kind of animal Emmett hunted like…a bear. Which can climb trees, Brilliant. I felt the air blow past my face before I landed solidly in Jasper's marble arms.

"Ouch." Jasper set me down quickly and bolted a few yards away. I knew human-vampire contact was still an uncomfortable situation for him.

Emmett would have had tears coming from his eyes if he'd been able to as he held his breath and desperately tried to bury the laugh in his chest. "Smooth, Bella." I rolled my eyes. "Found you." He grinned.

"Nearly killed me is more like it." He grabbed my arm and pulled me along.

"Come on, its Jasper's turn now." I looked back only to find Alice's husband gone and a few leaves rustle. Stupid lightening speed, so unfair.

"How long does he get?"

"Seven more seconds. Hop onto my back. We'll need to run to catch up to him." I wrapped my arms around Emmett's thick neck as he got into a runner's lunge, preparing for take-off. "4,3,2…" I clutched my arms a little tighter around his neck and tucked my head into his shoulder, "1!" With that he rushed through the trees, within millimeters of most.

He was breathing really heavily trying to smell out Jasper no doubt. We ran through countless amounts of trees before I felt Emmett snigger mischievously and take a sharp turn to his right. He flew through a meadow before pausing in the space between a couple of trees. He put a finger to his lips signaling me to keep quiet as he snuck around the small clearing. We circled it about ten times before Emmett's face fell and he let out an exasperated huff. He set me down onto the ground and sighed apparently frustrated. "Where the hell is-" Emmett's frustrated sigh was cut short, a pale pair of hands reached around his ankles as quick as lightening and yanked them out from under him. "HOLY SHIT!" I heard him scream as his stone body made a sickening thud against the ground.

Jasper rolled uncontrollably on the ground next to me, his laughs shaking his entire body. I couldn't help but burst into laughter as I noticed the dumb struck look on Emmett's face. A phone rang from Jasper's pocket; he snatched it quickly and flipped it open.

"Boys?" Esme's crystal voice rang clearly from the other end.

"Yes." Jasper replied, stifling his laughter unsuccessfully.

"Bella needs to get back, Edward called and was upset that you two had taken her so far away. Bring her back so she can call him back." Jasper's laughter ceased but his smile didn't fall.

"Alright be right there." Jasper shut the phone and turned to gloat victoriously towards Emmett. Emmett glared back before breaking into laughter himself.

"This is so far from over bro." Emmett growled. He lifted me effortlessly onto his back and with one statement made me gasp tentatively, "Race you back home."

I clawed at Emmett's t-shirt as the wind attempted to wrench me from his back. Definitely not as fun as running with Edward.
