Emmett POV

Is it wrong if I want to kill Eddie for making my sister cry?

Me and Jasper speed walk up to the fourth floor of the house where our attic is. Only me, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme and Bella know it exists. Bella discovered it when she roped, a better for for roping us into her silly human game is tricking, us into playing hide-and-seek a few months before we abandoned her. It took us quite a while to find her.

Bella comes bouncing down the stairs, surprisingly not tripping once. Our jaws drop simultaneously. Her outfit is amazing yet a little seductive. She's wearing a white blouse tied up to her belly button with our crest on the breast with a blue tie and a dark blue skirt rolled up, exposing her thighs. On her legs she wears white socks to the knees with Vivienne Westwood high heeled school shoes. Her brown hair is in two braids. Alice must've helped her. She sees me, Jasper and Carlisle staring at her. Jasper is the first one to break out of his shock. "Darlin', what in the world are you wearing?" Bella giggles and twirls one of her braids. "Well since you, Emmy Beast and Daddy pranked me the other month, Alice, Rose and Mommy said I should get you back by making you play a human game with me and suggested that I dress up like a school girl that you fantasize about. They said that it would work. They said it works when they do it, Daddy, Mommy said that you're a sucker for this look and threatened to withhold you from sex for a month if you don't do what I want." She says, looking at a shocked Carlisle. Carlisle gulps and takes in his youngest daughters attire before whipping out his phone and calling Esme.

"Hi, Es, care to explain why our daughter is dressed like a schoolgirl?! Yes, I know we did that but that doesn't give you the right to tell her about my and the boys fantasizes. Okay, okay, we'll do it! What?! He's in on it?! You and our girls are evil, evil I tell you! Yea, love you too.

He hangs up and looks at Bella, who is sitting on the coffee table, smiling like the Cheshire cat in that Disney movie 'Alice in Wonderland' that she watches. "You, your Mother and your sisters are evil, Isabella." He growls out playfully. Bella giggles and looks at him. "I know, so will you play a game with me?" She asks with a pout that makes us go weak and agree with anything she says. We nod. She wears a victory grin. "Okay, We're gonna play my and Jakes favorite childhood game Hide-and-seek." She squeals, her face lighting up at the sight of our horrified ones. She giggles. "The rules are: I'm always hiding, you boys seek me. I could be hiding anywhere in the whole house. Understand?" We nod grimly. "Good, now to make this interesting, I'm going to be wearing one of Jakes hoodies so you can't smell my scent and cheat and you have look for me a human speed, no using your vampire speed." What?? We groan as she runs upstairs. "Bella! You're evil, Darlin'" Jasper shouts after her. We hear her giggle. Carlisle looks at me and Jasper. "Our wives and Bella are downright evil." He says before counting.


Bella is a pro at this human game. After an hour of playing, we still haven't found her. We can't use her scent because she's wearing the mutts hoodie and that just smells revolting. So we have no hope of using her scent to help. "Where the hell could she be? There's not that many places she could be." Jasper whines furiously, he's getting cranky. We've been looking everywhere. Carlisle chuckles at the empath. "Have you two checked in the attic on the fourth floor?" My and Jaspers eyes widen. What attic? What fourth floor? There's no attic or fourth floor, is there?

Well, watcha know, turns out the old man was right: there is a fourth floor. Huh. I wonder why he didn't say anything to us about it.

There's only one single door on the fourth floor. The door is a little purple, Bella's favourite colour. Bella has to be in here: there's nowhere else she can literally be. Unless she can turn invisible. "Carlisle, what is this place?" I ask my father figure. He smiles. "It's a safe place for Bella to come and get some space from us when she doesn't want to leave. Only me, Esme and Bella know it exists." My jaw drops along with Jasper's. "Wh..what?" Jasper stutters. I laugh. Time for some fun at Jaspers expense.

"Bella. Has. A. Safe. Place. For. When. She. Needs. Space. From. Us." I say, saying each word as if I'm talking to a three year old. Carlisle laughs before opening the door. We hear her heart rate.

Bingo.

The 'attic' is a massive room painted purple with several framed pictures on the walls and around the room of her with Edward, with Alice, with Jasper, with me, with Carlisle and Esme. There are a lot of sneaky pictures of us Cullens being ourselves.

There's a picture of me and my Rosie laying on our bed cuddling and laughing.

There's a picture of Alice and Jasper standing on their balcony wrapped in each other's arms, watching the sunset.

There's a picture of Carlisle and Esme in the lake in the woods, Carlisle has a wet Esme in his arms, Esme has her head hidden in the crook of her husbands neck while Carlisle is...inhaling his wife's hair? They're both oblivious to the sweet, sneaky picture.

There's one of Bella and Eddie lying in their meadow, Edward is smiling and looking down at Bella who is asleep on his chest. I wonder who took this one.

My favourite one is the one that's in a gold frame of the whole family, including Bella, in the mountains. The guys are standing behind our girls, arms wrapped around them, all eight of us smiling. Bella and Edward are gazing into each other's eyes like in a cheesy chick-flick. Underneath the photo it has

'The Cullen Family is Family. Per l'eternità (for eternity)'

Me, Jasper and Carlisle all smile at that one.

All of a sudden Carlisle lets out a girly scream as Bella jumps on his back. Me, Jasper and Bella are laughing our asses off, me and Jasper are rolling around the floor laughing while Carlisle flips Bella opinion his arms and hugging her. "You, your sisters and your Mother are Evil, Isabella." Bella wears a sly smirk as me and Jasper compose ourselves. "I can't believe the great, Carlisle Cullen, screams like a girl when his daughter jumps on him. I'm so posting this online and to Esme, Rose, Alice and Edward." Bella says hysterically. Carlisle growls. "Don't you dare, Isabella Cullen." She just wears a smirk.

Carlisle is right: our wives and sisters are evil.


Jasper POV

I can sense Bellas emotions through the door; betrayal and sadness.

I open the door and gasp at the state of the room: pictures of her and Edward are ripped up into tiny little pieces. Oh no. Bella is sitting on the window seat and looking out of the window.

"I thought having you guys back in my life would be so easy and drama-free but I was so wrong. Every day since I sent those letters has been filled to the brim with drama. I'm ruining the family by being here. Maybe it's better if I left." Bella says sombrely, getting up and grabbing her bag and leaving the room without a look to any of us.

It takes us all twenty seconds to process what our sister has said: she's leaving us.

We all flash downstairs where we hear Carlisle, Esme and Edward having a shouting match. Oh no, that's really bad. Our parents are pissed with their first turned son. They haven't heard anything Bella said in her safe place. I can't imagine their faces when we tell them.

"Bella has left our property and is making rash decisions so I can't get a hold of what she's deciding on. We need to find her before she does something that puts herself and the family through hell again." Alice says almost hysterical. I clap my hands, drawing my siblings attention to me. I'm in Leader mode. "Rosalie, Alice, tell Carlisle, Esme and Edward what's happened, get Carlisle and Esme searching, don't let Edward out of the house, one of us should stay here with him so he doesn't leave. Me and Emmett will start looking for her and once Carlisle and Esme have joined, Emmett and Alice switch places." I says and we all start looking for our little sister.
