Previously…
I watched in dreaded agony as my life, my heart gets into the car and is driven off by my pixie sister and Emmet. They. Will. Pay.

After she gets in the car…
Jasper waited until the car was out of sight until he finally let go. I turned around quickly to grab him by his shirt collar. I stared at him menacingly.
"Where. Did. They. Go." I hissed, trying to keep my temper under control, with little success. Truth be told, the only thing that was stopping me from tearing him apart right here and now, were two things:
One, despite everything that is about to happen tonight, Bella wouldn't be happy with me if I ripped Jasper apart, and I don't want to disappoint her. I sighed as I realized this and loosened my grip, very slightly as I continued my reasoning.
Two, tearing him apart would expose us. I doubt it will be easy to explain tearing someone apart as they put themselves together again. Yea, that one wouldn't go well. I released my hold on him.
"Where." I repeated, as he still didn't answer my question.
"I don't know, Alice just told me to hold you back while she and Emmet left with Bella, she made me promise before she told me what it is she even wanted me to do," he said pathetically. I felt a wave of calm hit me. I glared at him, and he stopped.
"Now is not the time to play peacemaker, Jasper," I told him icily. 'Sorry' he thought. I gave him a slight nod before I turned to the completely oblivious Rosalie.
"Rose, do you know where they're going?" I asked hopeful, though I doubt she had any clue.
"Nope" she said popping the 'p'. Great.
"Okay, since neither of you did anything to help me, you ARE going to help now," I growled. They both nodded, a little shaken. I'm glad that Carlisle and Esme left to go have some 'alone time'. Now they'll have no idea what I am going to do to my siblings when I get my hands on them. Rosalie and Jasper followed behind me as I hastily walked over to my Volvo. I backed out of the parking lot and headed off to the highway in pursuit of this dreaded game of keep away.

Back to present…
"Alice, where are you taking me?" I asked, completely irritated. I knew that she wouldn't tell me but I figured I could try.
"We're making a pit stop so that we can get a few things" she answered. I was surprised that she told me, but not enough for it to go unnoticed that she didn't answer my question.
"That's just great, Alice, " I answered sarcastically " but I asked where are we going?" I was getting angry.
"Oh, don't worry Bella, yeesh, Edward will come and get you soon, we just want to have some fun with you. Don't you like hanging out with us?" Emmet asked, pretending to be hurt. As usual, I fell for it.
"Of course I do ,Emmet, I jus-"
"GREAT" his voice was booming, " then just relax, and let us have our fun with Edward," he pleaded. I sighed and settled into the seat, missing Edward's cold, strong arms around me.
"Fine, Emmet," I said, defeated. It's not like I would have a chance of winning. I suddenly felt very tired. I sighed as I laid across the seat and drifted off to sleep…

" Take this exit to Port Angeles," Alice said. I quickly turned onto the exit and noticed the sign for the Port Angeles Mall coming up. Aw man. I don't want to go to the mall. We'll be here forever.
"Alice, why are we going to the mall?" I whined, voicing my thoughts.
"Oh calm down, Emmet. I won't be in there long. I'm just going to get us a few outfits. I doubt you want to stay in the same clothes for three days, do you?" she reasoned.
"Fine, but hurry up," I said. She closed her eyes, probing the future, I guess. I wish I had powers. Then I can read Edward's mind. Hmmm…I wonder what he thinks about…hmmm…Oh. Wait. Right. Bella. HA! Oh well, at least I'm strong. That comes in handy.
"No, Edward is going to be here in ten minutes!" she screeched, breaking me from my reverie. Bella stirred in her sleep, and blinked her eyes lazily.
"Oh, good you're up. Come on, Edward will be here soon," Alice screeched.
Bella's eyes brightened, and she smiled.
"Oh, don't get too excited, he won't find us, we just have to get out the car so that we can lose him in the mall," Alice said surely.
Bella's eyes tightened and narrowed. I chuckled. She glared at me which just made me laugh harder. "I'm not going anywhere," she said firmly. I smiled. As if she had a choice.
Alice sighed deeply and began to walk away. "Emmet," she said. That was all I needed. I hopped out of my Jeep and grabbed Bella out the backseat, placing her feet firmly on the ground. I locked the doors and grabbed Bella's wrist, gently, pulling her toward the mall all in five seconds flat. She protested, trying to break her wrist free. I laughed. When we got in the mall I turned to see her glaring at me. I fought back a laugh.
"Bella, come on, let's go shopping," I said, perfectly imitating Alice's voice. I saw Alice glare at me, a small smile tugging at her lips. I turned and saw Bella fighting back a smile. I wiggled my eyebrows at her and she laughed. I began pulling her again but she hesitated. I turned around again looking at her quizzically.
"Um, Emmet? I'm not going to run away, can you let go now?" she asked, staring pointedly at her wrist. I chuckled and released her wrist and put my hand on the small of her back, guiding her into each store, as Alice bought God- knows what. I heard Edward's car pull up and smiled.
" Alice?" I said, wondering if she knew he was here. She nodded and pointed to her head. I nodded and began thinking about my Rosie. Her hips when she walks, her long, soft hair, her lips when she- then I heard Edward growl. He was close. I chuckled and looked at Alice. She merely nodded again, my plan would work. I began picturing Bella at the Guess store, trying to make it look as real as possible. I immediately began blocking my thoughts as if I had made a mistake. ' yea you left me so damaged, damaged, I thought that I should let you know' I sang in my head. Bella looked at us as if we were crazy and shook her head. I shrugged and took her hand, pulling her back toward my Jeep, Alice right behind us. I started the engine as Alice put the bags in the trunk, and Bella buckled her seatbelt. Good choice. Hmm…I wonder what Rosie is doing…
"GO!" Alice roared at me, making Bella jump in her seat. I snapped out of my thoughts and drove out toward our next location. Alice let out a relieved sigh. " Oh, good, he's just getting in the car, that puts us a half hour ahead, then he'll come in our general direction, but he'll need gas. That'll put us an hour ahead of him. Just enough time to get the rest of our supplies," Alice said at vampire speed. Bella glared at us, annoyed again. I gave her a sheepish grin and she rolled her eyes to the window.
"You know, you can't be zoning out like that," Alice chided.
"Sorry," I mumbled. She patted me on the shoulder and gave me a knowing smile. I gave her a broad smile.
Phase One: Pit Stop- Complete. I thought triumphantly.
