(Emmett's POV)
Rosalie stormed up the stairs and in less than a second we all heard the bedroom door slam shut. I was just about to follow her; until I felt Edward's hand stopping me.
"Listen Em," he started, "I didn't mean what I said…"
"Hey! Don't worry about it Bro," I told him. "We all know I was the best thing that has ever happened to this family." I punched him playfully on the arm.
He gave me a half-hearted smile before I turned to leave.
"Emmett," Alice called after me.
"Yeah?"
"Carlisle is going to be home soon," she said, "he's going to want to talk to all of us. So, make sure Rose comes down."
I simply nodded and continued on my way.

(Rosalie's POV)
How dare he compare that plain girl to my Emmett! This in no way is the same…
Emmett walked into the room and leaned casually against the door frame.
"Carlisle is coming home," he said.
"So?"
"We have to be downstairs when he gets here."
"Why?" I was glaring angrily at the floor.
"He wants to talk about Bella."
Almost naturally I felt my eyebrow twitch at the mention of her name, "So, you're calling her by her first name now?"
I heard Emmett sigh as he made his way to sit next to me.
"Rose, I don't want to fight with you about this…"
I finally took my eyes away from the floor and looked Emmett in the eyes.
"You have my back on this… don't you?" I asked.
His face twisted into a confused expression, "what are you talking about?"
"I know how much you love Edward and I get that… he's your brother," I started, "but I need to know… What ever happens down there… you'll be on my side."
His once confused expression changed into a pained look.
"Rose, I'd rather not choose," he almost pleaded.
"Please?" I sighed. "It's important for me to know that you have my back."
I knew it was wrong of me to ask him to choose between his wife and his brother. But, I was going to need all the allies I could get to accomplish what I had planned for the human.
After what seemed like forever he finally spoke.
"Of course I do," he assured me.
He then leaned forward to kiss me gently on the forehead.
As he pulled away we both heard a car pulling into the garage; without another word we headed downstairs.
* * *
I made sure I thought vicious, angry thoughts on my way down, knowing Edward would hear.
'Idiotic. Selfish. Dimwitted. Asshole!'
I knew if I kept thinking these things it would keep him from hearing what I was really planning. My plan to get rid of that damn human girl.
I entered the dining room where my family waited for Emmett and I. As I walked in I glared a hole in the back of Edward's head, continuing to think numerous insults. He didn't look up as I passed by.
Everyone took their usual seats, including Jasper who casually leaned against the wall to my left. I sat in my seat, at the opposite end of where Carlisle would be. Swiftly before anyone could notice my eyes shot in Jasper's direction. Just as if we were thinking the same thing, we made eye contact. He briefly nodded as if agreeing with my upcoming plan, signaling I had his full support. Looking away, I smirked to myself knowing Edward wouldn't be able to fight me and Jasper off. And if Emmett kept his word (which he always did), there was no way Edward could stop us.
I felt a pair of eyes staring at me, I looked up only to find Alice (who was sitting diagonally from me) glaring. She must have seen what Jasper and I had planned, which only meant Edward knew.
I turned my attention to my brother at the opposite end of the table. He had a dark look on his face as he tried to stare me down. He should have known better, it would take more than a dark look to make me squirm. I heard a small growl about to rip from his lips as I deviously smirked, taunting him.
Before anything could continue Carlisle made his way into the room.
"Good evening family," he greeted as he entered.
As he passed by he took a moment to kiss the top of my head, "Rosalie."
After all these years I was still his 'Little Princess' as some may put it. The child who could cause so many troubles, but in the end of the day I could still do no wrong in his eyes.
My smirk turned into a smile.
'You may be his favorite son, Edward. But, the power a daughter has over her father will surprise you.'
Edward just continued to glare.
As I continued to mock my brother I noticed the look on Esme's face.
All mocking aside I felt concerned, "Esme, are you alright?"
Everyone turned their attention to our mother who sat quietly in her seat.
"Huh?" she said dazed, "Oh ummm… I just don't want Edward to leave again."
I quickly snapped my head and glared at Edward.
'See! Look at what you're doing, you fucking idiot.'
He ignored my thoughts and grabbed hold of Esme's hand.
"I won't go anywhere if you don't want me to," he assured her.
Carlisle cleared his throat, "so I think we all know why we are here."
"Because Edward decided he wanted to ruin all our lives in the matter of a few seconds," I said quickly.
"Oh give it a rest Rosalie," Edward countered.
"Edward, do I have to repeat myself again! She's going to say something, she's going to expose us."
"No she won't! She told me," he said, "she gave me her word."
"Oooooh! I see. She gave you her word, so that must mean she won't tell anyone," I said with sarcasm dripping from each word, "Cause you know… she gave you her word."
Edward remained silent as he shot me a dirty look.
"That's enough," Carlisle finally interjected. "Edward, Rosalie has a point. You can't guarantee her silence, you don't know what she's thinking."
Edward didn't argue, he knew Carlisle was right.
"I know a way to guarantee her permanent silence," I suggested, giving Jasper a look.
Edward's palms slammed onto the table as he shot up from his seat, "your not going to touch her Rosalie! Not if I have anything to say about it."
I just rolled my eyes, unfazed by his tantrum, "you know just as well as I do if you go against me… one on one, it won't end pretty."
"For you maybe…" he threatened.
"Need I remind you about 1948 in Michigan? And again 1953 in Province? I think we both know I can hold my own again you." I harshly reminded him. "And how do you think you'll be able to do against the two of us?"
Edward looked at Jasper, who had a hard expression.
"Yeah, that's what I thought…"
"Now, Rosalie we don't want to do anything rash," Carlisle told me.
"I'll make it quick, I promise. Everyone who sleeps has a chance of not waking up. I could make it look like natural causes. You know I can control myself," I told him.
"Pfft," Edward grumbled as he slumped into his seat, "we all know how proficient an assassin you are."
Carlisle hushed Edward before giving me his attention once again, "Rosalie this is different from Rochester. I only let you get away with that, only because I thought you deserved it. But, this is not the same, Bella Swan has done nothing to us."
I angrily crossed my arms and slumped into my chair with an angry pout, "it's not personal… it's just best for our family that she not be around."
Carlisle seemed deep in thought before he gave me a nod. Immediately my eyes lit up ready to spring onto my feet.
"I think you're right, Rose," he started, "and I know you mean well. But, again she did nothing wrong. Accidents happen and to blame a child for something she had no control over is not right. In order to protect this family, we need something worth protecting. Getting rid of her is just one more way of losing the essence of who we are."
My face fell once again, " I was just trying to be responsible."
"And I admire you for that," Carlisle told me," you have always had the family's best interests at heart."
I sighed. I felt Emmett pat me on the shoulder, "everything will be fine."
Carlisle began to speak again.
"Now, what shall we do?" he started. "Move on?"
"No," I groaned. "Please, anything but that. I like it here, it's like we're finally normal."
I gave Carlisle a pleading look and he just frowned.
"Well, I suppose we don't have to decided right away. And Edward is sure about Bella Swan's silence."
I didn't mean too but I snorted, which caused some stares.
I was pretty convinced that I was not going to be visiting the Swan girl tonight or any other night anytime soon. Not if it meant we had to move again. But, I began to worry about Jasper, who had had the same hard expression the whole time. It seemed like he was determined to keep our secret.
With one more sigh I emerged from my seat and headed upstairs.
"I'm just going to stay down here for a bit," Emmett told me before giving me a peck on the lips.
"Jasper…" I heard Edward call.
I didn't care about what Edward had to say to Jasper so I continued on my way.
I shut the door to my room and fell onto my bed. I knew it wasn't possible but I just felt so tired, this whole thing was exhausting.
Just as I closed my eyes I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket.
I groaned, 'what?! What do you want?!' I thought angrily at my phone.
I pulled the phone from my pocket and peered open one eye to see who it was.
"Unknown Number"
It read.
I pressed the talk button and put it to my ear, "hello?"
