Bobbing for Apples

"You got rid of the vampires and kept the bitch from hell?" Emmett asked as we sat across from each other in my room.

"She's human, Emmett." I mumbled. "And she's jealous. It's human behavior to react like that." I forgot how easy it was for vampires to forget how humans react to certain situations when they're jealous or afraid.

"I still think this is a bad idea." He mumbled before pulling himself off the couch.

"I'm still surprised you can think." I shot back at him as he left the room.

I sat next to Amber on the coffin shaped couch in the coffin room. We were waiting down stairs for Edward and Emmett to tell us what our next challenge was. I wasn't too excited to find out what our next challenge was going to be. I sucked at anything physical and going trick-or-treating, though I was excited that Emmett couldn't make fun of me anymore.

We turned to the stairs and watched in awe as Edward followed his older brother down the stairs. His beautiful face was covered with a crooked smile as he glanced at me. I smiled back at him, blushing. I felt silly for being embarrassed by my reaction to Edward's smile.

"Hello ladies…Bella." Emmett said to the crowd, giving me a dirty look. Edward shot him a glare. Emmett shot him one back. I had a feeling this revolved around the fact that he wasn't allowed to make fun of me anymore. "I'd like to congratulate every one of you for making it this far in the contest. For or second challenge, we're going to have each of you bob for apples." I relaxed, I can do that. "In pig's blood." Emmett continued.

My eyes widened in horror. I turned to Alice to see if he was kidding, her eyes were narrowed and her face was straight. He wasn't kidding, he was being serious. We were bobbing for apples in pigs' blood. I looked at Edward, he was staring at me. I opened my mouth and scrunched up eyebrows. I was waiting for him to hit Emmett across the head for not going along with the bet's deal. He gave me an apologizing look.

"The contest will start at twilight." They left leaving it at that.

The girls looked at each other and started to murmur about how disgusting it sounded, I was along with them. I looked at Jessica, she looked like she was about to be sick. Amber gave me a hug and her lips hover over my ears, I could feel her cold breath brush against me.

"It'll be ok Bella." She whispered.

I shook my head before hugging her back. Part of me wanted to walk out of the room and get as far away from here as possible. I wasn't a big fan of blood, human or pig, and the fact that I was bobbing for apples in it, made me even sicker. I pulled from Amber and decided to follow the girls lead and headed up the stairs, my body shaking in anticipation.

--

It was twilight outside. I stood next to Amber and Jessica, I still felt extremely sick to my stomach. Jessica latched her hand onto mine. I gripped it tightly, hoping that it would comfort her as much as it comforted me. Amber didn't want to be touched at the moment, her eyes were dark and she was breathing heavy.

Emmett and Edward walked in. They seemed to having just as hard time as Amber. Edward gave me an apologizing look before, taking his place next to Emmett far away from the girls. The producers came out of hiding and stood in front of us. He glanced at Alice repeatedly.

"For the next challenge we have asked everyone to bob for apples in a coffin filled with pigs' blood." I swallowed my lunch as he said the last part. "You have thirty seconds to find an apple. Whoever finds an apple will be able to go on a date with Edward." He continued to look at us. "And to make things more difficult, each one of you will be given a pair of plastic fangs."

Emmett walked towards us and handed everyone, including Amber, a pair of plastic fangs. His movements were quick as he didn't linger around any of the girls. I glanced at Amber; she was looking straight ahead at the coffin filled with the apples and pigs' blood.

"Amber." Emmett called out to us. "Will be the first to go."

Amber straightened as she walked forward. She put the fake fangs in her mouth. I watched as she kneeled in front of the wooden coffin on the floor. The producer lifted the lid for her. A loud whistle came from where Emmett and Edward were standing. I looked away not wanting to watch her bob for an apple. It would be easier and harder for her to do this.

"10 seconds, good job Amber!" Emmett called out to Amber.

I glanced up. Amber pulled the apple out of her mouth and dropped it in the bucket next to the coffin. She pulled the fangs out of her mouth and walked to the other side of the coffin. For a split moment, I thought I saw her lick the fangs that had once been in her mouth. I shuddered. Her lips were drenched in blood. She wiped it away with her arm. I decided to look away, afraid to see what she might do.

I looked at the coffin filled with the apples and pigs blood, I fought the urge to crawl to my knees and rock back and forth. I was feeling extremely sick. I probably looked just as pale as the vampires by now.

"Jessica." Emmett called out to us again.

Jessica released my hand walked to the coffin. She fell to her knees and dunked her head in, as soon as the whistle was blown. I turned away and stared at the floor. I counted the seconds in my head as started to breath heavy.

"10…" Emmett yelled out to her. "9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…Times up Jessica."

I looked up. Jessica pulled her face out of the blood and hit the side of her coffin with her hand. She pulled herself onto her feet and stood a distance away from where Alice was. Many girls joined Jessica in the loser section after their turn with the coffin filed with pigs' blood. No one besides Alice was able to get the apple within the thirty seconds. One girl started to vomit, half way through trying to get the apple.

"Bella it's your turn." Emmett called out to me.

I had a feeling it was going to be my turn, especially since I was the last girl standing. I fell to my knees in front of the coffin, I waited for the assault that the blood would have on my nose, that awful copper smell, but I couldn't smell anything. I leaned my head into the coffin and breathed deeply through my nose, I couldn't smell anything.

I looked up at Alice. "It's not blood." I mouthed at her.

She smiled at me and put her finger to her lips.

I smiled back at her and put the fake fangs in my mouth. All the stress of being near pigs' blood went away. I hovered my mouth over the red liquid and waited for Emmett to give the signal. A whistle was blown and I dunked my head in, holding my breath. I put my head fully into the red liquid, my mouth coming contact with an apple. I bit down hard.

When I was little, I use to play this game all the time at birthday parties, so I learned to perfect the art of apple bobbing. I pulled my head back, my jaw clamping tightly onto the apple.

The red liquid fell onto other parts of my body, probably staining Amber's wife beater. I spat out the apple and fake fangs onto the grass. Whatever that was, was extremely salty. I spat onto the floor and ground my teeth over my tongue. My nose scrunched up.

Claps came from behind me and in front of me. I pulled myself off the floor and spit all the liquid out of my mouth. I looked at Alice; she was clapping and laughing at me. I wiped my mouth with my arm. I looked down at my arm. It was red from the liquid.

"What was that?" I asked her.

She smiled. "Emmett will tell you, in about thirty seconds."

I turned to Emmett and Edward. They were clapping as they walked forward. They looked at me surprised.

"Way to go Bella!" Emmett smiled at me.

"That wasn't blood." I told him.

Emmett's smile faded a little and he looked at Alice. I followed his gaze, Alice shook her head. Emmett turned to the rest of the girls and nodded.

"She's right, that wasn't blood. It was red food coloring, black cherry Kool-Aid, water, and a lot of salt. You didn't really think that we would let you drink pigs' blood." He smiled at the girls. They shot him death glares. He laughed loudly. "Amber and Bella are the winners of this round and have both won a one on one with Edward."

Edward walked towards me and handed me a towel and then hand Alice one. I mumbled at thank you before turning back to Emmett's speech.

"Thank you for your participation and sorry that we tricked you but you should have seen your faces." He chuckled to himself. He turned to Amber and me. "Amber since you pulled the apple out of the coffin in the shortest time. You'll go on the date with Edward tomorrow. And Bella since you pulled the apple out of the coffin in the longest time and because you look like you just dunked your head into a coffin filled with pigs' blood, you get the pleasure of going on the date with Edward tonight." He patted my arm as he said this.

I frowned. "Do I get to wash my hair?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"Change clothes?"

He shook his head again.

"Wipe the fake blood off my face?"

Emmett nodded. "That you can do."

"You're too sweet." I mumbled before grabbing another towel from Edward.
