Chapter 6

"You created a vampire squirrel." Carlisle said sarcastically

"Uh, we might have…………." I said

"You mean you might have. I didn't have anything to do with it." Jasper pointed out

"Um, yeah, but you could've stopped me." I said

"Well, it's not up to me whether you do things or not." Jasper said

"Yeah, but you thought it was funny as well. And you seemed to think it was a good idea at the time." I replied

"Oh just please stop acting like 3 year olds. Emmett, it was stupid of you to do this and Jasper, you should have stopped him." Carlisle said

"Well, what are we going to do about it?" Jasper asked

"We're going to have to kill it." Carlisle said

"WHAT! NO! You can't kill Fatty! He's special to me!" I said

"You called it Fatty." Carlisle said sarcastically

"Yes, I did, cos it was very fat." I replied

"Emmett, you are such a stupid vampire. You'd think that you would be cleverer after doing high school almost 10 times, but no."

"That's exactly what I said." Jasper said

"No it's not, I said that." I said

"I said it." Jasper said stubbornly

"No you didn't, I said it first." I said

"No, I did." Jasper replied

"NO YOU DIDN'T! I FREAKING SAID IT FIRST OK!" I shouted

"Ok, ok, you said it first." Jasper said

"I'm sorry Emmett, but we're going to have to kill Fatty." Carlisle said evenly, keeping his cool as usual. Sometimes it annoys me how he never gets angry, but he's always calm and level – headed. He needs some passion.

"Well, fine then. But you're going to have to do it without me cos I won't kill Fatty. He's a special squirrel." I said

"Emmett, you're going to have to come. You're the only one who can kill him, cos you're the one who made him. Unless you want a whole colony of blood – sucking squirrels and a little visit from the Volturi." Carlisle explained

"Fine then." I said

We called Edward and Bella, who had since come back from wherever they were before.

"Edward, Bella, we're going to have to go and track down Emmett's evil vampire squirrel." Carlisle shouted up the stairs, even though he knew they could hear him even if he whispered.

"Yeah, I heard." Edward said

They came down the stairs, and Bella was giving me a funny look. I still wasn't used to her gold eyes and pale skin, even though she had been a vampire for the best part of the last year.

"Why are you looking at me funny, little sister?" I asked her

"Yeah, he is weird, I know." Edward said

Bella had since learnt how to put her mental shield around other people and completely take it off herself.

"Hey, what did you just think to him?" I said angrily, but I was a little curious what they had to say.

"She asked if you were mentally retarded for calling the squirrel Fatty." Edward said

"No, it's just really fat." I said

"I've left Nessie with Jacob at La Push, so we don't have to worry about that." Bella said

"Well, let's go then!" I said, but still a little bit pissed cos I had to kill Fatty.

We started running in the general direction of Seattle. Carlisle told us to stop, in a clearing, and then he gave us a little briefing on vampire squirrels

"Vampire animals can only be killed by their creator. As you probably noticed, they change in a matter of seconds, and go cold, whit and get red eyes. There are many vampire animals around, known by humans as albino's. What they don't know is, they are actually blood sucking parasites. However, they only have to drink every year or two, so they remain fairly inconspicuous. The problem is, they breed very fast if not held captive, so we have to find Fatty as quickly as possible. The only way to kill them is to – guess what – break them up into little pieces and burn them. For it to really be dead, Emmett has to rip it apart and burn it, otherwise it will come together again. We're only here to catch the thing, as unfortunately it is just as fast and clever as us. However, as it takes on some of the creator's attributes, it will probably be a little bit stupider than normal. Everybody clear?"

"Yeah."

"Yup."

"Sure."

"Hey! I'm not stupid!" I said

Everyone looked at me when I said that.

"Let's go." Carlisle commanded
