The Calling

Chapter 10: I Know Your Weakness

He had managed to get his wrist loose, so I bit his shoulder instead. "You know I like this shirt."

"Who cares? Besides, the bite marks add to the style." He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Hey Anthony." Emmett said, looking up from the game of Halo he was playing.

"Hey Emmett." Was this sort of thing normal? Emmett grinned at me.

"Having fun?" He asked. I bit down harder.

"Ow! Emmett, shut up! Don't encourage her!"

Alice, who had sprung down the stairs, looking overjoyed at something. Both Anthony and Emmett looked at her expectantly. She looked around sneakily, and then ran away. Anthony opened a door that looked like it should open to a closet, but when he opened it, there was a set of stairs winding downward. He bounded the stairs. The whole basement was filled with junk. Not trash, stuff, the rest of the house was neat, but in this place you couldn't take a single step without stepping on something. Amazingly, Anthony didn't trip once walking through it. He opened another door and tried to pry me off again.

"MMMM!!" I said, when he poked me in the side.

"What?" He poked my again.

"MMMM!!" He smiled suddenly and poked me again. "MMM!" And again, "MMM!" I don't know how much longer I can bear this. My grip on his shoulder slackened the tiniest bit, and suddenly, I was being held down on the floor.

"HA! Gotcha." He sat on me and pushed my head down.

"You may have won this time, swine," I fumed at the floor, "but next time, you won't be so luckily!"

"Actually, I think I know your weakness," -gasp-

"No you don't." He poked me in the ribs. I snickered a little bit. Control, Nikki! Control! Unfortunately, Anthony pounced on me and poked me faster. "Ha-No! -Ha ha-Please-ha ha ha ha ha!-STOP IT!-ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Quite suddenly I was free, I jumped up to run away, and then realized I wasn't being chased. I turned to find Carlisle standing there with Anthony in a headlock. "Dad!" Anthony whined.

Carlisle totally ignored Anthony and looked at me, "Esme made some food for you and Bella, and Alice wanted to talk you."

"Oh. Thank you." Carlisle smiled at me, then turned around, with Anthony still in his headlock, and walked out. I heard Anthony complaining all the way down the hall. That's what you get. And yet again the beautiful raven-haired girl conquers all! I started to explore the room, when Alice ran in and dragged me out.

She was muttering people being so slow, no, wait, I think she was muttering about humans being so slow. Than what are you? A pixie? I was placed in a chair, and a huge plate of fettuccini was placed in front of me. "Geez, what am I going into hibernation or something? "

"Speaking of sleep, you're staying over tonight. I got you're clothes and Bella's going to be here in a few minutes." I was tired of talking, so I stuffed myself with fettuccini. People around here love to watch you eat, don't they? And, indeed, Alice was watching me eat like someone would watch a nature film. It's going to take a while to get used to this. Do they do this to Bella? Esme was watching me from the couch.

"Um… The food is good," It seemed the appropriate thing to say. I had already eaten everything of the plate. Esme took my plate and replaced it with another one fully loaded with chicken drumsticks.

"Don't talk, eat," My god! I love this place!
