How dare Alice forbid me from seeing my Bella?! After she took her from me in the first place! I went back to my room at vampire speed, absolutely fuming. I went straight to the bedroom, to the duffel bag. I wanted to go to see my angel. I desperately missed her. I was so close…

'Not a chance, Edward' Alice spat in her thoughts. I growled in frustration. Then I heard Jasper's thoughts.

'Whoa, Edward, calm down I can feel your rage and need. Please.' he begged. I tried to compose myself, with Jasper's help, no doubt. There is no way I can control my temper now. I sighed, remembering the one thing that could calm me down. Bella. My angel. My heart. I wanted to call her, but then I saw the time, 1:13. I sighed, knowing she would be sleeping. I opened the bag and saw some clothes, paintballs, and some bandanas. I let out a soft snort at that. Alice really does outdo herself. I picked up the note on top of the bag…

Dear Pursuers,

Obviously, we're in a game of War- Mate edition. Now you all know the rules. If you haven't noticed, I have put your 'necessities' in the bag. You are now team Red. Now, the color assignments are as follows:

Rosalie, you are pink, and your clothes are on top. Rosalie, who was reading over my shoulder, grabbed her clothes and walked off to the bathroom.

Jasper, sweetie, I grimaced, you are yellow and your clothes are under Rose's. He smiled a little and grabbed his clothes then went to the other room.

And Edward, you are blue, your clothes are on the bottom. I grabbed my clothes and continued reading, annoyed that I was even doing this.

We will meet tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. sharp, at the clearing. If we win, Edward, you can't punish us in any way, and we keep Bella until school starts, without visitation. I grimaced at those words. And if you win, you get Bella, and you can punish us without any complaints.

-Alice

I looked at the clock. 1:45. I sighed, annoyed. Time was not moving quickly. I grabbed my clothes and dressed quickly in the bathroom. I saw Jasper and Rosalie going over strategies. I walked over to them and sat on the couch, next to Jasper. I listened for Alice or Emmett's thoughts. Surprise, Surprise, they were blocking me. I sighed. Then I began thinking about Bella. I smiled, imagining her fumble with the gun. Then I felt a wave of enthusiasm hit me. I looked at Jasper, but before I could say or do anything, I felt the wave of excitement hit me and I knew I lost that battle. I had to play against my Bella in order to win her back. That was utterly absurd.

"No, we should come from behind, and surround them," Rosalie insisted. I immediately shook my head.

"You can let that plan go, as I'm sure that Alice has seen that already," I said reasonably. Her face turned into disappointment, then lit up again.

"Then let me give you a few ideas, and we won't decide which one until the second we attack," Rosalie said mischievously. I grinned at her. My own enthusiasm beginning to come. Jasper snickered and nodded his head. I grinned evilly, my excitement finally surfacing. We sat the rest of the night planning…

"PERFECT!" I yelled. We'd spent the whole night coming up with a perfect plan. We are so going to win! I heard Bella stir in her sleep and Alice gave me a semi- angry glare for waking up Bella. Oh Well, kid has to get up sometime. I smiled as Alice went to Bella's room. I heard Alice shrieking and I smiled, not even bothering to listen to her girly babbling. I hopped up and went to the shopping bag that had my stuff in it. I peeked and saw a pair of black pants with a black long- sleeved t-shirt and black Jordan's. I smiled as I went to go change…

I was woken up from my slumber when I heard Emmett's booming voice.

"PERFECT!" he yelled. I rolled to my side and sighed, realizing that Edward still wasn't here. I saw Alice come in and smile enthusiastically at me. I smiled a little as I sat up and stretched. I looked at the clock, 12:45.

"Come on Bella! We have to get you ready! Today is the day!" she screeched almost too fast for me to catch. I blinked a few times, processing, and then scrambled to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and grimaced. My hair was-ugh. I can't even say. I was flushed and I had slight purple bruises under my eyes, though I knew Edward would notice. I sighed and stepped into the shower, reveling in it. After I had had my morning routine, I went back into the bedroom and saw the clothes Alice had laid out for me. There were a pair of pitch black sweats, and a black long- sleeved shirt that hugged my curves. I slipped on the pair of black Jordan's, surprised at Alice's ability at getting casual clothes, even if it was for a 'war'. I went back to the bathroom to comb my hair. After I went through all the knots, I through it in a semi- ponytail. I walked out of the room and stopped at the doorway as I saw that Alice and Emmett were dressed the same way, except they made it look like it came hot off the runway. I sighed, feeling insignificant. Just then Emmett came over and took me into a brotherly bear hug. Well, if it's Emmett, then they're pretty much the same thing.

"Emmett…" I gasped. He got the message and set me down as I took a gasp of air into my deprived lungs. Emmett smiled apologetically and I grinned back. It seemed that somehow Emmett had caught on to my insecurities because he then said…

"Don't worry Bella, you look HOT!" he said goofily, wiggling his eyebrows. I laughed a little. Alice rolled her eyes at him.

"Yea, Bella, besides, Edward's always talking about how beautiful you are," she said teasingly annoyed. I felt the blood rush up to my cheeks.

Emmett looked at me and smiled reassuringly. I sighed, releasing my insecurities. I heard my stomach growl and I blushed again. I heard Emmett chuckle and Alice came to my side.

"I ordered you some breakfast, it's in the kitchen," she told me. I nodded and went into the kitchen, if that's what you want to call it. I frowned as I walked over to the table. I felt bad that they spent their money on me like this. I opened the silver lid and saw and omelet with hash browns and toast with some mixed fruit and some orange juice. I stared at the food for a moment before digging in. It was delicious! Just as I was finishing my glass of orange juice, Alice popped her head around the corner.

"Come on, Bella! We have to leave before Edward so we can get ready for War!" she squeaked. I smiled at her. I looked behind her and saw Emmett in the same excited sate that she was in. I sighed and went along with them, not wanting to ruin their fun. It didn't surprise me to see that they already packed our bags and checked us out all in under 5 minutes. We walked hurriedly to the car and I sat in the back. Emmett turned out of the parking lot and sped our way back toward Forks. I actually felt a little bit excited to be included in one of their games. I found myself bouncing slightly in anticipation. I guess between Alice's confidence in how well I would do and the thought of me being able to beat Edward at something. I smiled wider now.

"So, Alice, what's the plan?" she smiled evilly at me and I did the same. She told me the plan and I felt my smile grow wider, if that was even possible. This was going to be good…
