K POV

I stayed up, never falling back asleep. I played with my iPhone for another good hour and a half. After that, though, I decided I should get up.

I moaned as I slowly got to my feet and limped over to my closet (which Alice had so graciously filled).

I grabbed a cute, dark pair of jeans that had various tiny rips in them. Then, I grabbed a shirt with a faded tiger on it and slipped on a small (short) black jacket over the top. I grabbed two random socks and put on a pair of sneakers slowly over my bandaged ankle. Then, I went into the bathroom.

After brushing my hair, I curled it. Then, I cleaned my face and brushed my teeth before slowly heading out of my room and down the hall.

When I opened my bedroom door, I realized that most of the house was up already, Esme was even cooking breakfast (which I smelled). I smiled.

I began to shuffle forward and scowled, this wasn't easy, and it hurt. I hated feeling so useless, helpless.

I was having to use the wall for support as I walked (shuffled) (or limped) when Alice suddenly dashed over to help me. She put my arm around her shoulder, supporting most of my weight as we went into the Living Room.

"Thanks Alice," I said after I was seated on the couch. She nodded, smiling at me, though I could see some sorrow in her eyes because of my injury. Then, she headed off into the Kitchen.

I closed my eyes and leaned back into the couch sighing. Then, I inhaled, trying to figure out what Esme was cooking… it smelled like eggs… and cheese… and bacon

"Yum…" I thought to myself. I loved bacon…. Maybe she was making an omelet…

Sure enough, just a bit later, Esme walked into the room with a tray, which had on it; a glass of orange juice, a plate filled with two omelets, a strip of bacon, and a piece of toast, and some silverware and napkins.

"Esme-" I began to protest but she put up one finger as she put the tray down across my lap.

"Hon, we've been over this. I WANT to and you're family now, so stop complaining and just accept life for what it is," she said in a motherly tone.

I sighed and didn't argue any more. It was true that I was beginning to think of Esme as my mother, and this only supported my thoughts of her more. As I cut up my food and began to eat, Esme smiled and then headed back into the Kitchen.

Carlisle came down the stairs then with a syringe. He told me it was painkillers and, for that, I was grateful as he injected them into me… though I still felt as though I was being waited on hand and foot…. I hated feeling so useless.

Just then, Seth's aurora came into my "radar" and I couldn't help but smile as I ate more of my omelet. His presence was coming closer every second; I knew he was coming to the house. I could even, after a few minutes, hear his feet as they ran through the woods after he'd shifted… My heart longed for him already…

He came in the door and only looked about five feet before spotting me. The second he did, the biggest smile spread across his face, making me smile too as he came over and plopped down next to me on the couch.

Seth wrapped him lovely, tan, muscular arm around my shoulder and then gave me a kiss under my left ear (for that was the side on which he was seated).

"Good morning beautiful," he whispered in my ear. "How are you feeling?"

I snuggled closer to him before answering.

"Just dreadful…" I moaned at first, my head tilted back so I could look up at him. I was being very dramatic, "but now that YOU'RE here, I'm perfect."

Seth sighed, his breath tickling my chin. "I missed you, too."

I smiled a bit as I took another bite of my omelet.

While I ate, Seth kissed me, trailing up and down my cheek and jaw… He left a trail of warmth where his lips touched me. Even as he was doing that, I stayed as close to him as possible, I was cold… I was hoping Seth wouldn't notice. I knew he'd over-react.

He did, though.

"You're freezing," Seth noted in a worried tone, rubbing one of his hands up and down my right arm as he pulled me even closer.

Just then, Carlisle came into the room and over to us. "Her temperature dropped from lack of blood," he explained. "Speaking of which, Krystle, I highly recommend that you be feeding more often for a couple of weeks until you are fully healed."

I nodded, about to respond when Seth spoke.

"How is she supposed to hunt in this condition?" he questioned.

"Well, if necessary, there are always blood bag-" he began to say, but I cut him off.

"I refuse to drink human blood anymore," I said, my tone suggesting my finality of the subject.

Seth looked a bit shocked, but not completely. He also looked a little relieved…

Carlisle just nodded understandingly.

"Well then how is she supposed to feed?" Seth asked his face still a bit surprised.

Emmett jogged into the room, grinning. He walked up behind me and clamped his hands down on my shoulder.

"I could always hunt for ya Krystle," he offered cheerfully, "and if I'm not back in 30 minutes, it's free!"

I laughed. I couldn't help but picture Emmet as this pizza-delivery guy speeding down the highway with a Domino's pizza in hand, and boy what a funny picture that was!

I smiled up at Emmett. "I think I'll have to take you up on that offer."

Emmett laughed. "Awesome! What would you like? I can get about anything available. There's moose, deer, mountain lion, grizzly –"

I couldn't help but laugh, too. "Um… I don't care! Just something with blood in it," I told him.

Emmet nodded. "Okay," he said. Then he beamed once more. "Time me," he challenged, "and if I'm not back in 30 minutes or less… you can make me do one dare, no questions asked."

I beamed at the idea and flipped out my iPhone. I went to the stopwatch feature and looked back up at Emmett. "Ready… set… GO!" I started it and Emmett dashed off. I kept grinning, this would be fun.

Seth sighed. "You just had to do that didn't you?" he said. I nodded, still smiling. "Well… if it makes you happy," he said after a bit.

I laughed, looking up at him. "Believe me, it brings me much joy," I purred.

Carlisle chuckled from behind us. "Well, Krystle, try not to count on him being late. Emmet is very competitive and doesn't like to lose… but if he gets distracted… you may have a chance, not that I want him to lose or anything, or that I wouldn't enjoy seeing him do whatever you want him to do, but just so you know…"

With that, Carlisle left, a smile on his face as he went.

Seth and I sat in each other's arms for a bit, the stopwatch still going. After a bit, Seth spoke.

"If he doesn't make it back in 30 minutes… what are you going to dare him to do?" he asked.

I whispered it to Seth-

Alice's laughter suddenly peeled throughout the house. Then, she was at my side. "OMG that would be hilarious! You HAVE to do that! Don't worry, Rose and I can slow him down," she all but purred. She'd obviously seen what I was thinking.

Rosalie came into the room, too, then. "Help slow WHO down?" she asked, curious. She'd obviously heard our conversation.

Alice quickly explained. "Emmett is hunting for Krystle because of her condition and he promised her that if he wasn't back in 30 minutes that she could dare him to do whatever she wanted and she'd planned on- " Alice suddenly when low and fast in Rosalie's ear so neither Seth nor I could hear. I already knew what I was doing, of course, so it didn't matter.

Rosalie beamed, giggling a bit. "Emmett would so go for that. It'll be so funny," she laughed. Then she turned to look at me, grinning. "We've got your back."

I smiled at them. "Great, thank you kindly."

Then, I realized something.

"Wait, Alice how did you even SEE that?" I asked her.

Alice just shook her head. "First of all, I HEARD you give the bet to Emmett and I can see HIM just fine. I know when he's gonna be back or not."

I nodded. "That's understandable. Best of luck with your stalling."

Alice and Rosalie nodded, still smiling, before dashing out the door, whispering excitedly to each other.

Of course, if merely TWO of the Cullens know about something, the rest WILL find out. What with a mind-reader and a psychic on their side…

Then, Edward came in with Bella and Renesmee.

"Did I hear something about pranking Emmett?" he asked, grinning. Pranking Emmett seemed to be everyone's favorite pastime.

I nodded and Edward chuckled.

"Good one," he laughed. "Is that pay back for all the times he's teased you two?"

I nodded again, a grin coming back onto my face.

Bella looked up at Edward and Renesmee looked confused, too.

Edward told them what my plan was and Seth laughed again.

"It's an awesome idea right?" he said proudly, kissing me under my jaw. He had his big, signature smile on his face.

Bella was beaming, too. "I can NOT wait until Emmett has to do that." She looked up at Edward. "We HAVE to record that so we can have some dirt on him."

Edward laughed and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "I wouldn't worry about THAT love, Esme is already getting the video camera."

All of us laughed. Oh, I couldn't wait until those 30 minutes were up.

A POV

Krystle's prank was ingenious. I couldn't stop thinking it over as Rose and I dashed through the woods towards where Emmett was hunting.

"SO, I assume YOU will be the one to stall him," I began as Rose and I ran. I was leading since I knew where he was at.

"Then what will YOU be?" Rose questioned.

I beamed. "The back-up that will nail him if he tries to escape," I informed her happily, though I knew she wouldn't need any help. I saw what she was going to do… and how Emmett would react.

Rose scoffed. "As if he will even TRY to run…" she all but purred.

Then, I saw the plans alter a bit and I gagged. "REMEMBER, Krystle still needs her food back," I told her sternly, not liking the image I was getting of her and Emmett.

Rosalie laughed and the plans changed.

As we drew nearer to where Emmett was, I heard him roar, followed by the snapping of a bear's neck. I rolled my eyes, the boy was crazy over-dramatic when it came to killing his prey.

We slowed as we neared the clearing. Emmett had a deer, a coyote, and now a bear with him. When we stopped, his head snapped up.

He inhaled, then the hunting look went out of his eyes. He straightened up and moved toward us.

"Rose…? Alice?" he asked, confused.

Rose pranced forward and I merely took two steps closer to observe.

Rose went over to Emmett, batting her eyelashes at him.

"Hey…" she purred, her voice seductive. "What are you doing out here all alone? I could have gone hunting with you…"

"Uh…" Emmett managed to get out, his eyes looked blank, like Rosalie had managed to erase all of his thoughts.

Men and their hormones

Rose began to walk two of her fingers up his chest. "You know I haven't seen much of you today…" she said, still purring.

Emmett suddenly gained his composure, beaming at her. He'd obviously forgotten about the little "bet" between him and Krystle, though.

All we needed was five minutes… and then, no matter how fast he ran, he'd never make it back in time.

I beamed evilly, but neither person noticed.

Emmett wound his arms around Rose's waist and began to purr too. I could tell Rose was still in control of our purpose, but I still had to look away as they began to kiss… because it had to be LONG(for a human, at least)…

I looked at my clock and the five minutes flew by. Rose suddenly pulled back from Emmett and looked him in the eyes.

"WHY were you out here again?" she asked him innocently, cocking her head to one side for effect.

Emmett thought about it for only a second before his eyes widened. "SHIT!" he shouted, looking at his phone clock (which he'd whipped out). He scowled, but a light was shinning in his eyes. He didn't look mad at all.

"You gals PLANNED this," he accused teasingly as he scooped up the three prey.

Rose laughed as we ran back together at full speed. "You're not mad at me?" she asked.

Emmett only smiled softly and lovingly at her. "I could never be mad at you Rose," he told her in his warm, loving, teddy-bear voice.

Rose smiled happily back, her love showing through her eyes.

"So…" Emmet started as we neared the river, "what's this terrible thing Krystle has planned for me?" He finished with a grin, obviously excited to find out and not the least bit upset that he WOULD have to do something.

"Hm… should we tell him Rose?" I questioned as we flew over the river.

Rose laughed. "Nope, we're HERE so I think Krystle should," she all but purred.

Emmet sighed, but he was still beaming. "You guys are EVIL," he laughed.

I grinned as we slowed down. "That's what they call me!"
