Bella…
I jerked backwards as Carlisle cleared his throat again conspicuously. I glared at him hotly. This was far worse than having Emmett catch us-
"Damn," Edward whispered as Emmett strolled in. I bit my cheek so hard I felt the blood trickle out from the tiny crack I had forced. Being frightened because of a stupid bar of chocolate would be silly in another situation, except that it was Emmett's chocolate we had stolen. He was going to be furious.
Emmett snickered loudly at both of us standing squashed next to each other as he slowly ambled to the fridge. I started inching the other way, Edward right next to me. Carlisle was chuckling now; an ominous sound.
Emmett's eyes fell on the two bars of chocolate sitting on the counter behind us. He froze. Edward froze. I froze. There was a beat of silence as I swallowed nervously. Emmett trained his eyes on Edward. He growled.
"Did you just growl at me?" Edward squeaked. I shuffled a little more to the side. Carlisle was openly laughing now. "Run!" Edward yelled. I ran. We bolted like rabbits out the door. I slammed into Alice, who was giggling at Jasper. She stumbled backwards, crashing into Jasper. All three of us fell backwards onto the floor. Edward tripped over my legs and fell on top of me.
"What in the world…" Jasper began. Emmett was advancing towards us, holding both bars of chocolate in his large hands. His eyes were glinting. "Um, Edward, what did you do?" Jasper asked.
Alice squealed in delight. "You're so dead, Edward!" she said excitedly.
"Thanks a lot, Alice," he said dryly, still watching Emmett warily. Emmett seemed to be enjoying himself. I heard a thud and a soft thump. Esme had come down. I groaned. What a happy reunion.
"What's going on?" Esme's soft, motherly voice asked. Carlisle snickered as a form of response. "Emmett, stop scaring them. Kids, get up."
We got up. I staggered a little as Alice poked me in the ribs, hard.
"I'll get you back for this," Emmett warned, wagging a finger at me and Edward. "Just wait."
Okay, I'm sorry, but this is sort of a filler, and I couldn't resist putting in the crack about Emmett being overprotective of his food. I needed something to cheer me up. But no fear-the rest of the story won't be fluff. And also…
I dumped the f*****g guy after I saw him making out with another girl. And the crazy thing is, I was about to go and make up with him. What a moron. Really, two girls in three days? Anyway, first, remember the ring Jasper gave Alice in the previous chapter. It's going to play something in the story. Second, the Cullens WILL find out soon. And I mean soon. I hope nobody can guess how they managed to find out!
