Authors Notes: First I would like to thank everyone for their input on what I should do next. I thought about all the different ideas that I received and I even wrote several different versions of this chapter, but I think that this one ended up being the best one. Not only that, it is the longest one as well. Second sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter up, as you know I was a little lost on what to do also I am in the process of writing another fan fiction as well, and as soon as I have it named the first chapter up I will let everyone know. But don't worry I can do two at once, its just I don't want to lose this idea I have in my mine right now so I thought what the hell, do both. Well like always I hope you enjoy this chapter and PELASE REVIEW.

After Edward's car was out of sight I took a deep breath and reached for the door. Knowing before I entered the house I would have to collect my feelings as to not give myself away to Jasper, once I was sure I was under control I entered the house. The moment I entered I noticed that both boys were at the top of the steps with Rosalie and they were all beaming, what are they up too?
"Hey Bella, we have been waiting for you." Jasper smiled as he came down to greet me.
"Really?" I asked a little confused because me spending the rest of the day with them was only just decided a few moments ago.
"Yes, Alice called us once they were pulling away to say that her and Edward wouldn't be back till tomorrow and that we need to keep you company, so we are taking you with us." He smirked as he pulled me up the steps and handed me to Rosalie. "Now go get ready."
"Rosalie what is going on?" I asked once we were in her and Emmett's room.
"We are going down to the river." She smiled an evil grin as she handed me a small piece of cloth.
"What is this?"
"Your bathing suit, now come on put it on." My eyes went wide when I examined in more closely. It was a small mid-night blue string bikini, I am more then sure I will look awful in it. "Oh don't look at it like that. Alice bought it for you and she thinks that it will look great on you and I am sure she is right. So go put it on and toss this on over it so we can get going." She said a little stern, I knew things were better between us, but she didn't have the patience that Alice had when it came to me protesting against something she wanted me to wear. So I just nodded and went into her bathroom and changed. Once I was in it I was scared to look in the mirror so I just threw on the matching over dress.
"Are you girls ready yet?" I heard Emmett call as I walked back into the room to see Rosalie holding the door shut so he couldn't get in. "Come on let me in!"
"Emmett we are almost ready now go back down stairs with Jasper and we will be there shortly." She half growled. A few seconds later she let up on the door and looked over to me. "Edward is right that shade of blue is perfect on you." She smiled and then tossed matching flats my way and then we were on our way out the room.
"About time!" Emmett huffed when we walked out the back door.
"Shut up Emmett!" Rosalie growled again. They could be funny at time with the way the acted toward one another, that I had to hold back a giggle, and of course Jasper noticed and smiled at me. "Alright let's get going." Then she led the way down the back walk to the right of the house that lead into the woods. Lucky for me it was a paved walk so I didn't have to worry about tripping on any leaves or branches. It was about a two minute walk, but I knew they would have been there faster if it wasn't for me, but when we got there I was not prepared for what I saw. There was a beautiful white sand beach to the left of the boat dock and the water was crystal clear, nothing like a normal river would look.
"Not what you were expecting is it?" Jasper asked when he noticed I had come to a complete stop, I just shock my head. "Well it feeds off the ocean so it is still clear sea water, and we brought that sand here from the beach as well, seeing we cant do down there."
"None the less it's beautiful." I smiled as we walked over to where Emmett and Rosalie were now setting up a little area to set and rest with towels and an umbrella.
"Alright let's get in." Rosalie smiled as she took off her over dress to show she was wearing the same suit as me but in a deep blood red. Then both the boys stripped down to their trunks and Emmett was wearing a simple black one and Jasper was in a simple green one. I was nerves to take off my over dress but I knew that if I didn't hurry and just take it off Rosalie would do it for me. Also it wasn't so bad the sun was setting and it would be dark soon. Normally I would be starting at three glittering vampires in the sun but with the sun setting it wasn't hitting them directly so they weren't glittering. As I was taking off my over dress both Jasper and Rosalie jumped into the water and the second it was off I felt cold arms around my waist. I looked up to see a smiling Emmett and then I was submerged in water.
"Emmett!" I shrieked once above water and playfully smacked his arm which ended up hurting me, but I didn't let them know that. Of course this little action caused them to burst out laughing.
"Now who is up for a game of chicken?" Emmett beamed as he pulled me up on his shoulders. But before I could protest I saw Rosalie was already on Jasper's shoulders.
"Now remember we have to stay within human strength. We don't want to hurt Bella, and I don't think any of us want to see an angry Edward when he gets back." Jasper giggled.
"I'm not scared of that hot head!" Rosalie laughed.
"Hey now that's me fiancé you're calling a hot head!" I pouted acting mad, but that only mad them laugh harder.
"But you have to admit he is a hot head." Jasper teased.
"No more then Alice!" I teased back, as he eyed me funny.
"Alice a hot head now that's funny!" Rosalie began to laugh even harder that she fell off Jasper.
"Hey, you didn't see her earlier today, she was quite scary!"
"Alice scared you?" Emmett asked in surprise as he looked up at me.
"Yes she did, but she didn't mean to. She was really angry at Mike and Jessica. But I am not suppose to say anything till after they talk with Carlisle."
"What happened?" Jasper asked still concerned that his wife was mad enough to scare me. "I mean I know she can have a temper at times, but she wouldn't just lose it."
"I'm sorry Jasper it was my fault really but she did we all did and that is why Mike knows…" I had to stop short, I knew if I continued I would tell them what happened.
"Mike knows what?" Emmett was now getting serious as he set me back down in the water. I nibbled on my lower lip as I now had three curious and a little agitated vampires looking at me.
"Well, actually the whole school knows that Victoria is after me and Edward." There that wasn't a lie but it wasn't what I was really going to say.
"How?" Rosalie was really confused now.
"Well the fire was started by her. Mike and Jessica took us to see what was written on the gym walls, even though Mike though I shouldn't know."
"What was written there?" Jasper asked when I didn't continue, I knew from the look he was giving me that he felt my fear and worry.
"It was a message from Victoria." They all frowned and growled at her name. "It said that both Edward and I will die at her hands, it was burned into the wall with gasoline." They all growled again as a chill ran down my spin. "Like I said it's my fault."
"No Bella it is not your fault." Emmett said as he pulled in for a hug.
"Emmett is right; we will deal with her and all the others. Don't you worry; now back to the game at hand." Jasper smiled as he sent a wave of calmness my way and pulled Rosalie back up on his shoulders. Before I knew what was happening we were in the middle of a game of chicken. Rosalie and I were going at it but she was being careful not to hurt me but the boys on the other hand were really going at it but at the same time making sure that they didn't hit me. There were a few times when I should have fallen but Emmett was always quicker and able to get me back on his shoulders. I never thought that a game of chicken could be fun but I was quite enjoying myself that was until Rosalie went for me and I ducked and fell face first into the water, causing us to lose. When I was pulled back out of the water they were laughing and now splashing one another.
"Bell duck!" Emmett hollered as he pulled me under once again. This time I swam around them and now was behind Jasper and Rosalie when I resurfaced. But this time I didn't come all the way up, only high enough were I could breath through my noise, then pulling my arms back and the thrusting the forward as hard I could I got both Jasper and Rosalie.
"What the?" He asked as he turned around to find me laughing. "That was a cheap shot Bella."
"No that was a good one!" Emmett laughed.
"I agree with Jasper, now you will pay!" Rosalie smiled and then leaped toward me, and before I knew it both her and Jasper were tossing me back and forth and dunking me when they could. Although it was fun I felt like they were playing keep away when Emmett started trying to grab me in mid-air.
"Hey I'm not a rag doll!" I pouted as they continued to toss me around. This caused them to start laughing harder so when Jasper tossed me again to Rosalie she missed me and I feel into her hard.
"Bella you okay?" She asked as she regained herself. When I hit her I hit with a little too much force and it knocked her over even.
"Bella I'm so sorry I didn't mean to toss you that hard."
"It's okay Jasper I am fine." I lied my side was hurting but I didn't want them feeling bad to I ignored it.
"Are you sure?" Emmett asked, and I nodded. By this time it was dark out and they couldn't see my face when to tell if I was lying or not.
"We are in trouble!" Jasper laughed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Well Rosa Edward and Alice are back and he must have heard us asking Bella if she was okay so he is now angry and headed this way."
"Duck!" Rosalie laughed as she pulled all of us underwater. Great another game, but this one was hide and seek from and angry Edward. Once under the water I motioned for them to follow me, and we began to swim over to the boat dock. I could tell they were laughing at the fact that I though of a hiding place, even though we all knew he could find us easily, but then again when I saw Jasper mouth clear your thoughts I knew they were doing all the could not to get caught. Unfortunately I had to go up for air but once I went up I saw a straw like plant that I could use for air like a snorkel and quickly grabbed that and hid under the water again to see them laughing once again. But before I was completely under the water I noticed that both Edward and Alice were now at the edge of the river looking for us. Because of the air in my system I began to float to the top but luckily Jasper noticed and grabbed me and held my body still so I wouldn't be noticed. I could vaguely hear Edward and Alice yelling at us to come out and see them pacing up and down the bank, it was quite comical. Then it dawned on me, why wasn't he listening for my heart beat, which would be a dead give away. But no sooner did I think that did he walk over to the boat dock and grab my arm out of Jaspers and pull me to the surface.
"Trying to hide there?" He smiled seeing I was okay.
"Yes, but I see it didn't work out to well."
"Of course not your heart beat gave you away." Jasper laughed as he submerged himself. "And I see now that you see she is fine you're no longer angry at us."
"I was never angry just worried when I read your mind and you thought you threw her to hard. What were you doing?" Edward asked with a raised brow.
"Having some fun." I said as I stood above the water forgetting what I was wearing.
"I was right that looks great on you!" Alice beamed as she ran and hugged me, causing me to wince in pain. "Oops to tight, sorry."
"It's okay." I smiled knowing well enough it was from when I hit Rosalie and that I would have a bruise shortly. I then looked over at Edward expecting him to be glaring at Alice for holding to tight but he was staring at me with lust in his eyes.
"Now, now Edward. Don't be looking at her like that!" Rosalie teased.
"Like what?" He played it off as if he wasn't doing anything.
"Pervert." I mumbled causing everyone to bust out in laughter, even Edward.
"Anyways what were you four up to while we were out?"
"Well Alice, first we played a game of chicken." Rosalie started.
"Chicken?" Yea that didn't sit to well with Edward.
"NO need to growl Edward, we were careful, and she didn't get hurt, but it was funny when she feel off of Emmett's shoulders, making us victorious."
"Yea, I was dodging you when I fell, but then they played keep away from Emmett." Then we all began to laugh again.
"You didn't!" Edward growled.
"Didn't what?" Emmett tried to play innocents.
"Please tell me you didn't use Bella as your ball!"
"Okay we didn't." Rosalie smiled, as Edward let out another growl.
"You could have hurt her!"
"Edward its okay, I'm fine and besides it was fun, well till the end." I smiled but I could tell he saw through me lie.
"Bella, are you sure."
"Yes Edward I am sure." I smiled and then kissed his check slightly before pulling my over dress back on.
"So Edward, Alice what happened earlier?" Rosalie asked. "And Alice what caused you to become hot headed like Edward?" I looked away knowing they looked at me in shock.
"Bella you didn't tell them did you?"
"Not really."
"What do you mean not really?" He was getting angry again I could tell.
"Edward calm down she was only told us about Victoria's warning. And when we started talking about playing chicken we said we need to be careful not to hurt Bella, and somewhere during that I called you a hot head and she then defended you, and some how brought up how Alice lost her temper earlier but never said over what." They relaxed.
"See I told you I wouldn't say anything till you got back." I tried glaring at him, but it didn't work when he smiled at me and pulled me for a kiss and said he was sorry.
"So are you going to tell us what happened or not?" Rosalie was starting to get irritated that she was in the dark.
"When we get back to the house we will tell you what happened. Carlisle and Esme are actually waiting for us to return so we better head up." Alice smiled but it never touched her eyes. They all nodded and we grabbed our stuff and headed back to the house.
"Okay before we tell you Bella should get some dry cloths on." Edward smiled as he picked me up and carried me up to our room. "You know that suit looks exceptional on you." He whispered into my ear as he sat me down on our bed causing me to blush, and him to laugh.
"Edward stop gawking at Bella and let her get dressed, they need to know what happened!" Alice yelled.
"She is right Edward, and besides you might get a chance to see me in it again some time." I smiled as I wiggled out of his arms and into the bathroom. On my way in I grabbed a pair of sweats and put them on so we could get down stairs, the sooner this was over the better. Edward was pacing again when I re-entered our room, and he looked like he could kill something. If I didn't know he just went hunting I would think that he would need to go now. "Edward what's wrong?" I asked him as I walked up to him and cupped his cool check in my hand.
"It's Newton, he just figured it out." My eyes grew with fear.
"What?"
"I have been keeping close tabs on him and Jessica and he just put two and two together, come on we need to talk to the family now." He then grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs where the family was sitting around the dinning room table in the same chairs they were sitting in when they voted on my changing.
"Edward what happened?" Carlisle asked as soon as we sat down.
"Newton knows our secret!" He growled as I saw everyone in the room even Carlisle face fill with shock.
