Icy Mist Chapter 6
Today was the day, however much I dreaded it. The day before school starts. I could only imagine all the girls that would fall head over heels for Edward. I knew how it felt. I used to be one.
I was going to be insanely jealous, as would everyone else. But the difference was that this was my first time at high school (as a vampire), and everyone else would have already felt jealousy. And how was I going to contain it when everyone was a fragile human who could easily be destroyed?
"Whoa, pull in the reins," Jasper said in his southern drawl. I shot him a look, but accepted his calming waves.
Renesmee was out hunting with Carlisle and Esme all day, and I was a little worried, but it wasn't the first time so it wasn't so bad. The rust of us Cullens were all sitting in the living room talking.
"What's the matter, little sister?" Emmett said tauntingly to Alice, thinking it was her whom Jasper was speaking to. "Did you not get enough night time?" he said sweetly, using his vampire charm and smiling, dimples and all.
I laughed. Oh, he was going down. Edward and I had been downstairs all night, watching Alice and Jazz, but Rose and Emmett were upstairs all night long.
"You know Emmett, I really didn't. I enjoyed drawing a 'museum quality picture' as Bella put it. You on the other hand, were too busy to see the amazing art," Alice said smiling, satisfied. To throw some oil on the flame Alice crumpled up the magazine in her hands and threw it at him. She then said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that's where the trash was."
"That's good," I hissed to Jasper and Rose, who were sitting next to me on the sofa.
"Hey!" Emmett protested. He threw the magazine at me, and I went to throw it away in the garbage can about five steps away. But it looked like the Lord was on Alice and I's side today. I immediately had a great idea.
"Oh, guys! Look!" I said, grinning with anticipation. I was done with Emmett and his jokes.
Since there were windows everywhere, they didn't have to get up to see. "There's the garbage man!" I said, winking at Alice. She laughed when she saw what I was going to say.
"This can't be good," Edward groaned.
"Why do we need to know about the garbage man?" Emmett asked, looking bored, besides the obvious laughter in Alice and I's eyes.
"Well, don't you care?" I asked, faking the look of shock. Rose rolled her eyes, seeing what was coming.
"No, why would I?" Emmett questioned, looking at me as if asking about my sanity.
"He's rolling your home away!" I said. At that exact point, the garbage man put the trash can in the back of the truck.
"I'm sorry, Emmett. I never act like this," I said, actually apologizing. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm just really nervous for tomorrow."
"Wow, Bells, you really can't be mean, can you?" Emmett asked, more of a question not to be answered. I sighed, and retook my place on the couch between Rose and Jasper. Jasper was staring at Edward, and Edward was staring at Jasper. Figures. I was getting used to the private conversations in the house, but that didn't mean I liked them. I never got the insight of that one in Forks when Jasper had laughed. Whatever.
"I know what will make you relax," Alice said suddenly, looking up at me. Everyone one turned their attention to her, afraid of what was going to happen next. "Truth or dare!" she exclaimed, excitement dancing in her topaz eyes.
"YES!" Emmett yelled, standing up. Those two plus truth or dare was not a good mix. Last time the dining room table was broken, Rose's finger came off, and Esme's china was in pieces.
"No." Jasper and I spoke at the same time. Rose was almost hyperventilating and Edward was wide-eyed and shocked.
"Oh, come on, Jazzy," Alice said, walking over to Jasper and giving him a quick kiss.
"It'll be fun." Well, Jasper was lost. Rosalie was eyeing Emmett's dimples and quickly giving in. But Edward was not nor I.
"I am not playing this game," Edward said, glaring at Alice.
"Oh, but you will!" Alice sang.
"How?" I asked warily. I was sick of Alice knowing everything.
"Because if you don't, we'll tell Carlisle and Esme that all the damage from truth or dare was from you guys… messing around," The pixie said.
"They'll never believe you. Right, Edward?" I asked him. Edward looked at Alice for about five seconds and his mouth turned into a thin line.
"Edward?" I hissed, elbowing him. "Will they?" Edward nodded his head slowly in response.
"Damn it," I growled.
~five minutes later~
Why we all had to do this, I don't know. I happen to think it's ridiculous that I have to sit in a circle with the rest of my family like a couple of kindergarteners playing duck-duck-goose. But everyone said it was just easier this way. Alice was explaining the rules that we never followed, saying that we couldn't break anything and that we couldn't dare each other to eat human food.
"Alright, then. Truth or dare, Edward?" Alice said. Seeing what she was going to do, he chose truth.
"Why do you like mountain lions so much?" Alice asked, frowning. I guess she couldn't come up with anything better.
"I don't know. I just know that they taste most like… humans," Edward said, stuttering.
"Okay," Alice said, reassuring him.
"Jasper, truth or dare?" Edward wiggled his eyebrows at him.
"Dare," Jasper answered.
"I dare you to pretend like Alice and you aren't together for the first week we start school," Edward said. Oh, he was in trouble.
"WHAT?!" Alice and Jasper both screamed, jumping to their feet. "NO!" Alice screeched. But it didn't matter. The one rule that was unbreakable was that you couldn't back down on a dare.
"Hey, you're the one that made me play," Edward said, lifting his hands up in the air. Rose and Em were just trying to not to laugh.
Alice looked murderous, but sat back down. She would have to take it out on Edward later in the game.
Jasper looked like he was going to kill Edward. He decided to let Alice take a stab at him later when he turned to Rosalie and said, "Rose, truth or dare?"
"Dare," she answered impulsively.
"I dare you, for the same week that Alice and I are pretending to be not together, not look at a single reflective surface or ask Alice, Bella, or Esme for their opinions on how you look. Also, you have to break every single mirror in your room so you can't cheat," Jazz said, winking at her and using his heavy Southern accent.
This time it was Rosalie's turn to fume. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! HELLA NO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She screamed all the way to the top of the stairs, and when she was breaking the mirrors. She continued to scream until Jasper clamped a hand over her mouth at the sound, when Rose had returned downstairs.
Oh, Jasper was in for it. Rose was literally huffing steam from her nostrils, she was so angry. "And on the first day of school? Oh god, you better bless Jasper…" she was muttering.
"Rose!" I said. She snapped out of her trance, if vampires can be in a trance, immediately. Emmett looked scared, like she was going to get him back for something he did. Apparently, she gave up that chance, and she looked to me.
"Bella," she said carefully, "truth or dare?"
"Truth," I said. I absolutely hated dares. No matter how bad a truth could be, dares were always worse.
"Did you like… getting busy with Edward more when you were a human or a vampire?" she asked me, tilting her head with innocence. Ha. Like she had any.
If I was a human, my face would have been darker red than a tomato. But since I couldn't blush, I was going to try to play it cool. Before I answered, though, I peeked at Edward through my hair, and he was turned away from the rest of the group, but obviously listening by the way his body was rigid.
"A vampire," I said, trying to sound courageous and not embarrassed one bit. To my utter surprise, it actually worked. Emmett's booming laugh echoed through the room, but I didn't care. Everyone else had bought it, except Edward, of course.
"Why?" Rosalie asked, sounding like someone who was straining to hold back her laughter.
"No, Rose. That was not part of the truth I was asked. Next time think it through," I said carefully. She scowled at me, but didn't respond.
"My turn," I said, sighing. Every time I tried to do either a truth or a dare, I couldn't do it. I looked into that person's face and got suckered out of it. But this time I couldn't, because I had great payback for Rosalie. I should have done Emmett, speaking he was free of anything, but I had just the best one for her. I would have to say sorry to Jacob later, though he would have no idea why.
"Rose: truth or dare?" I asked. I knew she would say dare, because she never said truth. Someone has to get the fun started, she would say.
"Dare."
"Rose," I winced, looking at her face. No. I had to do this, so I looked away. "I dare you to kiss Jake on the cheek. Let me finish," I added, seeing she was about to interrupt, "And tell him you liked it. But you can never tell him it was a dare in your entire existence," I said, carefully choosing my words. I looked back at Rosalie to see her mouth open in shock.
"The one time you go through with daring someone, Bella Cullen, is the day you choose to speak to me with a foreign language. How could you?!" she was mad. Possibly more mad than when Jasper told her about the mirror dare.
"I'm sorry," I squeaked, but I didn't take it back.
Everyone else looked shocked too, but didn't say anything. Another unspoken rule that we followed was that you don't talk when the truth or dare doesn't involve you. You can react, but you don't often speak.
Rose shot me one more glare before turning to Emmett.
"Truth or dare, Emmett?" he looked frightened. Apparently he had done something to upset her.
"Truth," he said, sighing when he thought he had gotten out of whatever Rosalie had planned. But according to Rosalie's face, he hadn't. Rose handed him a piece of paper.
"Emmett wrote this to me last night. Tell them the truth about what it says, baby. Go on," Rose said, smiling with victory.
~thirty seconds later~
Let's just say that Emmett had wrote Rose an eight line poem saying in perfect detail about what he was going to do with her that night. I think I was starting to like truth or dare, if Emmett could be embarrassed. But this was only round one.
So, could you tell me how you felt about this one? I am really happy with all the reviews that have been coming in lately, so thank you for that. I read and cherish every single one, even if it is in my email. Anyways, drop in a review! Love you all J
Peace,
