AN: I'm sorry I haven't been writing for a while but my new account is taking all of my attention. Fear not readers of this fanfiction this chapter is on its way, now I must get down to writing it.

Chapter Seven: Free at last.

"Free at last." said Emmett and Jasper simultaneously. Unfortunately they were on other ends of the building, Emmett still being in the vent and Jasper stretching out his limbs and gazing out at the setting sun on Forks high school's roof. He considered, for a split second, going back for the others but decided against this. You may think that I'm showing Jasper in a highly negative light and that in actual he would heroically venture back into the vent to find and save his wife from her fate. But you, dear reader have not been in a vent and therefore no not of how unpleasant it was, squeezed into the tight space and if you have been in a vent I daresay Jasper is marginally bigger than you.

Jasper jumped down from the room and hopped into the silver Volvo that was parked outside the school, looking forward to a good long soak when he got home.

Emmett is also to be congratulated. Although he was still in the metallic prison he was at least moving now and getting closer and closer to the spot where Bella now sat sniffling and generally wollowing in self pity.

"Hello?" she yelled tearfully as she heard scuffling up above. Emmett paused.

"Bella?" he looked around him. "Where the hell are you?" he pressed his ear to the wall of the vent and strained to hear her.

"Emmett!" she said in relief and shouted "I'm down here." Emmett's face appeared above her.

"What are you doing down there?" he asked cocking his head to one side, unable to see her in the darkness. Bella decided not to condemn Rosalie yet.

"Erm, I fell." She said sounding slightly embarrassed. Emmett hoisted her out with one arm. She couldn't help asking. "What happened to your trousers Emmett?" Emmett's face grew dark and solemn but he also decided not to condemn his wife.

"Erm. . ." he hesitated. "They fell." Bella puzzled over this for a moment and then shrugged, starting to lead the way to . . . well I'm not quite sure where she actually thought she was going but where they ended up was next to Rosalie's super glued skirt. Emmett had an idea.

"Bella turn around." He said and she obeyed obediently. Emmett pulled off the skirt with one yank and put it on over his tartan boxers. It was a bit of a squeeze but to Emmett's delight it stretched quite nicely.

On the other side of the vent Rosalie, Edward and Alice were finally giving up.

"Maybe they got out." said Alice leaning against the side of the vent and sighing.
Edward glared at her; two hours without Bella had made him extremely crabby and irritable.

"Alice is right, we can't keep going round and round in circles like this." said Rosalie, frustrated. "We'll never find th-." But Rosalie never got to finish because Bella and Emmett appeared round the corner at that very second. Edward sat up quickly and banged his head. Bella giggled and crawled as fast as she could towards him. Edward leant over Rosalie, who had to slide down the wall, to kiss Bella on the cheek and stare into her eyes. As touching reunions go this was a particularly touching one and Alice let out a soft "Awwwww." Rosalie gagged which was a bit hypercritical, I thought, as if she and Emmett had been talking to each other there reunion would have probably have been just as touching.

"Let's get out of here." said Edward still staring into Bella's eyes.

"What about Jasper?" asked Alice half heartedly.

"He's a big boy." Rosalie snapped and led the way up to the roof.

The Cullens emerged into the twilight air and slumped against the railings. Everyone was beat. Rosalie noticed Emmett's new garment but chose to say nothing. This I offer as evidence of how beat the Cullens were. Bella's face brightened suddenly and she said, enthusiastically.

"Hey guys, I've just thought of something." They all looked at her. She put on a ridiculous Transylvanian accent and said spiritedly "I vent to suck your blood." She collapsed into hysterics; the Cullens just looked at her in disbelief.
