"Don't make stupid decisions and run into another vampire who wouldn't hesitate to kill you. I would rather die than to have another person that I love be killed." Carlisle said. Tears filled Bella's eyes. "I think there may be one in town but I still am not sure yet." Was that what Charlie was talking about the other day? A guy being murdered by some kind of animal?
Bella moved over to the window and looked out. "Carlisle, could you watch over Charlie to make sure he doesn't get hurt? He is looking for whoever killed that guy and I'm afraid..."
Carlisle nodded. "I will have Emmett or someone keep an eye out for him. As for now, I better go look for whoever is causing all this trouble." He stood up. "Would you like to stay with Alice till I get back? You will be safe and she can keep you company for the day."
That surprised Bella. "For the day? How long are you going to be out?"
"Probably till tonight unless I find them. I have been looking around with no luck." He said, opening the door and walking down the hall. Bella followed him outside. "So, you are going to stay with Alice for now?"
Bella thought for a moment. "Yeah. You probably wouldn't want me to go out on my own anyway."
He nodded. "That's true." He lifted her up onto his back. "If you don't want to get sick, keep your head down and don't look around." She did just that and in a few minutes they had stopped. "Alice is coming out to get you. She probably read your mind and know what's happening."
"You will be back later?" Bella asked, worry and saddness in her eyes.
Carlisle leaned down to kiss her on the forehead as Alice stepped out of the house. "I will. As soon as I find this other... vampire, I will be back as soon as I can." He gave her one last kiss on the cheek and ran off.
Alice came over and walked with her back to the house. "So you and Carlisle are something now?" She asked, eyes sparkling.
"Shouldn't you already know since you can read my mind?" They both laughed. "But I don't really know if we are because he hasn't really said if we are or not..."
"Then ask him when he gets back. He will be okay Bella, don't worry." But even though she believed Alice, Bella still had a bad feeling something was going to happen. Alice sighed. "Lets just go inside and see what everyone else is doing." It turned out, they were all watching the news. Someone else was murdered. "Who is it this time?"
"Some old man..." Emmett said, both sorrow and humor in his voice.
"Hey, you are an old man too even though you don't look like it." Rosalie said to him. Everyone but Emmett laughed. It seemed like Rosalie was getting used to Bella.
The news was over awhile later and everyone just sat there, bored and staring off into space. "Anyone have the game, Twister?" Bella asked.
Everyone looked at her. "Actually yes. We have almost every board game downstairs in the basement. I'll go try to find Twister." Edward said, smiling. Everyone seemed in a better mood. A few seconds later, Edward was back with a Twister mat and spinner. "Rosalie?" Edward asked, handing over the spinner to her.
She just looked at it. "I don't feel like playing. Get Jasper or Bella to." She dissapeared and so Jasper vollunteered to do it.
"Are we all ready?" Edward asked. Him, Bella, Alice, and Emmett got ready on some dots.
"Left hand, red." Jasper called out. The games lasted awhile. They were all very flexible, even Bella. A few times, they were in awkward positions but still didn't fall.
About an hour later, they were in weird positions, when the door slammed open and Carlisle walked in. He looked upset but paused to look at them and wondered what the heck they were doing. They all stood up and looked at him, showing him that it was just a game they were playing. "There are three of them and they are coming this way... three vampires."
