Chapter 12
Hello again everyone! I hope everyone had a good couple days since I last updated. I just want to point out something that was mentioned to me in a review… okay, at one point chapter 10, I think it was; I accidentally said that Bella used telepathy. She used telekinesis. Sorry about that. Thanks, darkpheonix825 for pointing that out. I have also been getting some very entertaining reviews. Keep them coming! Most people seem to think that the note was from the Volturi, Vicki or Victoria. Hmm. All interesting guesses. But nobody knows…
Anyway, just wanted to say that I love you guys for reviewing so much! Thank you thank you thank you. Oh no! Now I sound like this stupid talking website that my idiot brothers found that keeps repeating thank you again and again. Trust me; after it gets to a million, it gets annoying. Anyway, on with the story!
Sorry for the incredibly long authors note, but I also wanted to thank Tegan (That was the name, didn't leave a return fanfic account) for pointing out another play on words. I completely forgot that Alice's real name is Mary in the actual books. No wonder they're so close! It's like she found her other half!
Don't own anything; hopefully you've realized that by now.

Dearest Bella;
We hope you have enjoyed your time with your new 'family.' Please note, however, that it will not last. Enjoy the time you have left in happiness, for soon it will all be over. There is nothing you can do. Do not try to fight us, we have powers you cannot ever imagine. This is just a friendly warning. Enjoy the last of the time you have left.
Goodbye, my sweet. We shall be meeting sooner then you think,

A day has passed since I've received that strange note. I've been trying not to think about it, which is actually pretty easy, with our moving and all. But that strange note is never far from my mind. Edward noticed, just this morning. He asked me what was wrong, but of course I couldn't tell him about the note. It had warned me not to say anything and if anything happened to Edward…
It probably meant nothing, anyway. It was probably another one of Emmett's stupid pranks that he thinks are so funny. A 'welcome to the family' kind of thing. I shouldn't be worrying about it. There are so many other things that we could be thinking about. I mean, I've been dreaming of this since I first arrived in Forks all those years ago. Moving in with Edward and the Cullens, that had been my dream since forever. How great is it that it was finally coming true. I shouldn't let a meaningless threat, or more likely, practical joke, ruin it for me.
Alice and Mary had taken it upon themselves to run the whole process. And Emmett took it upon himself to ruin the whole process. (AN; Another play on words, ruin, run, get it? Ha, I am on fire!)
Alice and Mary had been trying to get everything organized for the past few hours. I mainly stayed out of their way; I might be a vampire now and slightly more un-clumsy then before, but not by much. I had already fallen on and broke one of their organizing clipboards and had been chased out of the house by a very angry-looking Mary. After that episode, I thought it was best, and probably healthier for me to stay out of their way.
So currently, Edward and I were going on a walk in the woods. Just the two of us. Everything was quite peaceful. The birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing and the Mary was screaming—wait, that's not right. Edward and I looked at each other, then immediately began sprinting back towards the house.
If Mary was screaming, that probably meant that someone had come back! Oh no! It had to be the mysterious 'V!' Oh no! Mary was going to get hurt—and it was all my fault! I had to save her.
"Emmett, get back here, you idiot!" Or not. It was just Emmett again. I did feel a little bad for the guy; to have Mary and Alice chasing you was not something that people generally looked forward too. I wondered idly what Emmett had done this time.
I glanced at Edward to see if he wanted to continue our walk, but he was still staring straight ahead. Then I could see the reasoning behind this—it would be quite entertaining to see Emmett humiliated by a couple of 5'feet tall girls.
Then I could see the huge mansion looming up ahead. We raced around to the back of the house. I turned the corner and started cracking up.
Mary and Alice had Emmett cornered and were kicking him. Who knew that they were so strong? Emmett was cowering in the corner, his hands above his head, the universal sign of surrender.
"You…Do…Not...Touch…My…Clothes…Ever…Again!" Mary screeched in between kicks.
"Okay, sheesh, it was only a couple shirts!" Emmett whined in defense. Apparently this was quite the wrong this to say.
"Ow, what did I do this time?" He asked, puzzled. Rose had come up and smacked him upside the head. I knew that there was a reason we kept her around.
"You touched her clothes?" Rosalie asked, her voice menacing.
"Yeah, why? It's just clothes, I mean, who cares?" Three identical gasps.
"Oh no," He breathed. Then he was off like a shot. Three white bullets shot after him. Alice, Mary and Rosalie. I guess I know why you shouldn't mess with a woman's clothes.
Edward chuckled. Then I noticed a small white video camera in his hand. He had videoed the whole thing. I laughed. "Where'd you get that from?" I asked.
He grinned. "Oh, I always carry it around with me, just in case there's a embarrassing Emmett moment. He looked very serious now. "I have a collection."
I laughed out loud. "A collection?"
"Yep. Of Embarrassing Emmett Moments. There's over one thousand." I grinned.
"Can I see some of them?" I asked.
"Sure. Come on, we'll go watch some now."
I grinned up at him. "Okay. Just give me a moment to get my sweatshirt."
"Hurry back, love," he replied, kissing me gently on the lips.
I raced up the stairs, being careful not to trip. I grabbed my sweatshirt and was about to run out the door when I saw another note. Uh oh. It couldn't be from Emmett, I knew that. I had just seen him being pummeled by the girls. Who could it be, then?
Bella;
I see that you're enjoying yourself with your new family. Don't expect it to last. I will get you back for the misery you've caused me. And don't think of telling your dear Edward about this, either. Remember, I have weapons more powerful than your wildest dreams. So don't think of telling. We wouldn't want someone to get hurt, would we? It's all up to you. So enjoy your last days in happiness because soon it will all be taken away from you—forever.

Hope you liked it! You guys are lucky that tutoring, paddle and one of my basketballs (AAU) was canceled. That's the only way I was able to actually find time to write this. That's also the reason behind the short-ness.
Sorry, Emmett lovers. I couldn't resist torturing Emmett. If anyone has any ideas for Emmett Movie Awesomeness, please tell me them and I'll try to add them to the next chapter.
This chapter is dedicated to basketball, because my dear old dad (Yeah, right) scheduled a basketball practice smack dab in the middle of Gossip girl! The nerve of some peopl!. Thank God for Tivo! So yeah, my basketball team is planning to murder my father and surprisingly, I'm on their side! Sorry for my little rant there, but I was pissed! Anyway, review, por favor!
