Chapter 4 – Library
"I don't even know what to say this time." Carlisle stated, staring at his children for a very long time. Everyone but his wife had destroyed a few job possibilities. He mentally made a note to beg the hospital for his job back. Now onto the next job. "We're going to be librarians for the time being."
"That is going to be fun!" Alice grinned as visions flashed in her mind. The upcoming events would be very amusing.
"Bella, love, what's wrong?" Edward asked while tracing circles onto Bella's palm. Bella's face turned red as a tomato, mumbling an answer "Rosalie and Emmett."
"There, there Bella. I understand." Carlisle said understandingly. Everyone except Rosalie and Emmett stared at him in confusion. "There's a reason why I want to get my office remodeled."
"Don't worry dear, it'll be done by tomorrow." Esme patted her husband's shoulder reassuringly.
"Edward!" Emmett shouted. Everyone stared at him, waiting for an answer. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Edward, I challenge you to book wars!"
"Finally!" Edward replied with a look of anticipation on his face. "What would you like to bet this time? Oh say, your jeep?"
Emmett let out a gasp but continued on. "Fine, but you'll bet your Volvo too."
"Deal." Both vampires smirked as they shook hands.

Feeling very content at the information desk, Jasper continued to assist humans. He used to like libraries very much; it was a place for relaxing and reading books. There were no distractions or disruptions. That is, until a certain vampire tapped on the table. 'Please not him.' Jasper wished it wasn't this vampire. Unfortunately it was.
"Hey Jasper, buddy!" Jasper grimaced at the voice and looked up. Aro smiled at him and was dressed in skater gear, complete with a skateboard.
"Sorry sir, skateboards are not allowed in the library." Jasper reminded him. Aro shrugged before tossing the skateboard somewhere. It hit Marcus's head then landing on the floor where it snapped in half. "How may I help you?"
"Can you help me get a library card?" Jasper silently sighed and brought Aro to a computer.
"Here. You use the computer to enter your information." 'This is almost over… Just a couple more weeks…' Jasper watched as Aro began typing in his information very slowly.
"This is easy! I am Aro Volturi, born in 1000 BC and I currently live in Volterra, Italy." Aro grinned, completely getting every piece of information modernly wrong. "That's weird; it said that this was invalid." He turned around but Jasper was missing, he was no longer there. "Jasper? Where are you?" Aro growled, causing several humans to stop and stare. He, Aro Volturi, never ever gets ditched! "I am so going to get Jasper!" Aro stomped back to the information desk to file a complaint and get some help.
"Aro turn around." On reflex Aro turned around. Two skateboard pieces smacked him straight in the face.

When he was done with checking in with the staff, Carlisle began taking his shift in the internet cafe. Coffee and the atmosphere in the café had gotten him to pick this job. Coffee wasn't invented when he was living but the smell of it brought him in. In a way, Esme smelt like coffee too. In a good way. Besides, he could use this place as an excuse when he and Esme needed some 'parent time'.
"Hey mister?" A voice that sounded very young. Carlisle peered over the counter and spotted the owner of the voice. It was a five year old girl with pigtails wearing a causal outfit of shirt and short. "Where's mommy?" Her round brown eyes stared up at him. 'She looks like Bella when she was younger.' Carlisle thought as he stepped around the counter and knelt down to the girl.
"Did you get lost?" Carlisle asked the innocent little girl.
The girl began to sniff and rub her eyes. "Yes. I walk and I look, mommy was gone!" A few tears trickled down her cheek.
"There, there. We'll find your mommy." Carlisle gave the girl a tissue while trying not to hug her. 'She's so adorable! Just like little Bella.' He threw the tissue away. "Let's go find her." He was about to stand up when someone tapped him on the shoulders. Carlisle turned his head, there stood a woman that looked very angry.
"What do you think you're doing with my daughter?" The woman demanded without giving Carlisle time to speak. She swung her purse back and snapped it like a whip to smack Carlisle in the face. The force of the purse was hard enough that it knocked him to the ground. People stared in amazement that a purse could knock a grown man to the ground.
"Mommy!" The little girl cried and ran into the arms of her mother.
"I was going to help her find her mom." Carlisle protested but the mother frowned even more. 'What was in that purse?! Bricks?! No wait, something stronger.'
"That's what you get for trying to make my baby cry!" She gave him one last glare then stomped away, taking her daughter with her.
"Thanks for finding mommy, mister." The little girl said and giggled, skipping to catch up with her mom. Carlisle could only stare in astonishment as the two walked away. Had he just been pranked by a five year old then been beaten up by a purse?

It's quiet, too quiet… Emmett's large figure prowled through the fortress made out of books. He would win this bet and get the Volvo. Heh, heh. Emmett having fun with the Volvo with Rosalie or a baseball bat. He would beat his brother and brag about. Over and over just to bug his enemy. His enemy in this was Edward, the mind freak.
"Hey! I heard that!" Edward shouted from his fortress of books and threw a book at Emmett. The enemy had made a move! Emmett started chucking everything he could get his hands on, including a computer. "Where'd the anvil come from?!"
Soon everything on Emmett's side was gone; he looked over to his brother. "Perfect, Edward is buried under the things. I'm going to steal his Volvo! First, I need to customize the car." A muffled shout came from beneath the pile. Grinning, Emmett skipped happily off to find Edward's Volvo.

When Aro had planned for the Volturi to try to make 'peace' with humans and stay at the library for the day, Alice had a vision. It was great and Aro was going to wish that he never planned this day. Alice had a fit of laughter, planning the scheme out of Rosalie. She peered from their hiding spot behind the bookshelf; Caius was calmly sitting and reading. Perfect.
Making as much noise as a teenager can, Alice hopped into the armchair a few feet away from Caius. She flipped her phone open and dialed Rosalie, who was in the hiding spot. "Oh, hey Rose! It's been like so long since I've talked to you!"
Rose turned the corner and sat at the table in front of Caius "Alice! Oh my gosh, I've missed you so much! Have you seen the shoes at that store?"
Alice grinned; Caius was beginning to frown "Those shoes were so fabulous! We must go today!" Rose made a daring move and sat right next to Caius.
"I KNOW! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!" Caius scowled, shushing her. "Don't you shush me!" That struck a nerve as the Cullen girls snapped their cells shut.
"Shut the hell up! It's a freaking library!" Caius growled, throwing his book at the ground and stomping out. "ARO, I'M GOING TO HAVE MY REVENGE!" Alice and Rosalie laughed, their plans had worked.

"May I help you Aro?" Esme asked Aro politely. His face broke into a grin; finally someone was nice to him!
"Thank you Esme!" Aro smiled, sunlight radiating from him. "Have you seen Jasper? He's tall, blond, and ran away."
Esme had seen Jasper earlier; he was in the staff room. He hid from Aro and had begged her not to show Aro where he was. "Nope, sorry Aro. I have not seen Jasper." In the staff room, Jasper silently thanked his mother for showing sympathy. Aro's mood shimmered down for a moment. "What do you need help with?"
"Nothing, its okay." He bid Esme goodbye and ran while screaming from the approaching furious Caius.

Being the only human around the Cullens most the time, Bella was used to unusual things happening. This was much different. One, they were in public. Two, the Volturi was also here with a peace offer. As Bella went to find Edward who has disappeared ever since his book fight with Emmett, she saw holes the size of someone's feet throughout the library. 'Must have been an annoyed vampire…'
"Stupid computer!" A very young and familiar voice shouted. Bella turned her head in the direction to which the voice belonged to, it was Jane. Apparently she was so annoyed at the computer that she had used her power upon it. The unfortunate computer screen cracked in half. "HAH! YOU DO NOT PROVOKE THE VOLUTRI!!"
Bella quickly looked away before Jane could turn her devil glare toward her.
