EPOV (Emmet's)
Dark, murky fog settled over the sliver of light from the morning dawn. The early rising sun disappeared completely, waiting for a nice day. The chilling, misty morning air seeped around the town, creating a mysterious atmosphere to ponder at.
I was always amazed at the types of things I could think about to keep Edward from reading my mind. Honestly, who in their right state of things would even bother to care what was outside, and then try to describe it to themselves? Not me, that was for sure. Unless Masen was around to read that I was thinking about Rosalie, and how we had met before class to... I mentally stopped myself, grinning as I saw Rosalie sitting at the back of the room. She was staring at me too, and neither of us was paying attention to anything Aro was saying.
It didn't really matter anymore. All the lessons seemed pointless when I would be leaving in less then a month to go fight those stupid, pesky, newborns. Normally I wouldn't care about a fight, but Aro was dragging Rosalie into it as well, so I did care. I didn't want her to get hurt, and I didn't want her to see the fighting either.
This time when I glanced around I caught Edward's eyes. I knew that he was reading my thoughts, and he seemed to nod as he saw me. He would understand how I felt, because he felt the same way about Bella. After all, Jasper had told me that he was in love with Bella, and I completely trusted my new friend Jasper. Jasper also knew what Edward and I were going through, because of his love, Alice. Due to the fact that we would have to let our loves fight along side us, we all hated Aro right now.
Which would also account to the fact that I was ignoring Aro, instead thinking about stupid things like the imaginary mist I didn't care about. Obviously, there wasn't any mist getting inside the Volturi castle. I wondered if the weather was as afraid of the Volturi as the rest of us were. Not that I was really afraid of them I just wanted to kill them for putting Rose in danger.
"You done yet?" I muttered to myself, wondering if Aro would hear me.
Apparently he did, "Enough, Emmet. You of all people should be listening to everything that I have to say. Or else I would send you out right now." Aro called back.
Since I was super bored, this didn't seem like such a bad idea, "So if I go fight the stupid newborns I don't have to listen to any more lectures?" I asked.
Rosalie hissed, "Shut up, moron." how cute, she didn't want me to get hurt.
Aro laughed, "Not yet, you aren't ready. But if you find everything I have to say pointless to your futures go wait outside until I'm done. You, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward, and Isabella."
I swore under my breath, "No, its okay. I will shut up." Don't bring Rosalie into this.
Marcus looked at me with a cold, evil expression, "He isn't giving you a choice. The six of you need to go wait, now, or suffer the consequences." he was taunting me and I didn't like it.
The others are stood up and started to file out, but I wasn't going to let the Colturi walk all over me, "Whats consequences, Marcus? You gonna kill me or something? You need me." But the look he was giving me didn't make me feel sure, so I wondered if I had gone to far.
Bella seemed to think I had, "Genious, Emmet." she whispered as she passed by.
Rosalie just glared at me, angry that I was getting myself into trouble, but also concerned for my safety. I smiled at her, "No, we won't kill you. Not yet, anyway. But we do have other consquences." Caius said, and I noticed that he turned his gaze to Jane.
Shutting up time for Emmet, I guessed, "Fine, I'm leaving." I raced out the door, and went up to Rosalie to show her that I was fine.
Edward growled when he saw me, "Lovely, you get us all in trouble. Why can't you just leave the rest of us out of this? Drag down Rosalie with you if need be, but don't mess with me." Or Bella, his eyes seemed to say as they nervously examined her.
Bella frowned at Edward, "Don't be a jerk, Edward. Its not Emmet's fault that Aro got mad at all of us. And Aro wanted to talk to us all privately anyway. You should know that."
Edward rolled his eyes but didn't even try to contradict Bella so I smiled evilly at him while Alice decided to chip in, "Yeah, I see him telling us something important..." she giggled.
I grinned at Bella and Alice, glad for their support. We had all been friends since the day at the mall a week ago. Myself, Bella, Alice, and Jasper all got along just great. Only Rosalie and Edward refused to join in our little group, but since Rosalie hung out with them because of me, and Edward was always finding excuses to be near Bella, it felt like we were a group.
A wave of calm crashed over me, and I looked at Jasper accusingly only to see him glaring at Edward. Edward was in an attacking crouch, which he straightened out of because of Jasper.
"Calm down," he told all of us quietly, "Its no use fighting when the real person we are all mad at is Aro. And even then, Aro only acts as he does because of the newborns."
Rose yawned, a fake sound since none of us got tired. She was trying to make a point, "Leave it for someone who cares." she said.
"Now, now, Rosalie. Be nice." I grinned at her, putting an arm around her shoulder.
"I am so not talking to you at the moment, Emmet." she grumbled, trying to shrug off my arm.
Before I could retort, Aro glided over to us all, and didn't bother with pleasantries before shooting into whatever he needed to say, "You all need more physical training. I'm getting James, Laurent, and Victoria to train you all. You will work with them instead of listening to my little lectures."
Little Lectures? He talked for five hours straight every day, telling us crap none of us wanted to know! How is that a little lecture? But then I realized he said we would be fighting instead of listening to him drone on, so I didn't comment.
"Great." Edward said sarcasticly, but then something lit up in his eyes, "Wait? Do I get to beat up Emmet? I'm game." he laughed a cruel laugh.
"In your dreams, Masen." I commented, "You couldn't beat me up."
"Want to bet?" he shot back, "I could take you on."
"You don't do to well on bets, Edward." Rosalie giggled and we all looked at her with confused expressions. She didn't explain, and neither did Edward.
"You don't either," is all he said.
Bella decided to fill us in, "They made a bet a couple months back on which one of them could get someone to go out with them first. Rosalie was supposed to ask out Jasper."
Jasper growled, putting his arms around Alice. I laughed, "Sure, buts Rose loves me. Who was Edward supposed to ask out?"
Rosalie laughed once more, "Isabella. But she had turned him down so many times." Edward turned away childishly.
Aro cleared his throat, "As much as I would like to listen to your little chats, I have more interesting things to do. Starting tomorrow, you will meet with Laurent, James, and Victoria. You had all better show up."
Alice snickered, "Or what? You will set Jane on us?" Jane was her best friend, so I saw the humor in her words. Aro did not, however.
"I have worse things then your little friend to get a lesson across." he informed us, and went back to torturing students through his annoyingness.
I wondered what that meant as I talked amongst my new friends. Then I saw my old best friends, Felix and Mike, coming out of the room, and noticed they wre trying to get my attention. For once I didn't feel compelled to go talk with them, and wondered if everything really was changing.
Okay, so do you guys think I should put Jacob in it in the future? I have a couple of ideas for him, but should I put werwolves in this very vampire-ish story. Please review!
