EMMETT'S POV

"I can't believe our wives abandoned us like this." I moaned, as I sank onto the sofa beside Jasper.

Jasper looked up from his book, that he had been reading for the past hour, and rolled his eyes. "They just went shopping."

"Yeah, but you know how long these shopping trips can last, and I'm bored." I moaned again.

Dad was at the hospital, Mom was out running errands, Edward and Bella were off having some alone time, and my beloved Rosalie was with Alice and Renesmee shopping. That left Jasper and me home by ourselves, and he wasn't much company with his nose stuck in that book.

I called Jake to see if him and Seth could come over, but Seth was out with some friends and Jake was grounded for smarting off to Billy. I was so bored.

I looked sadly at the X Box, we couldn't play it till tomorrow thanks to our spur of the moment fight.

"That's it." Jasper said, as he stood up. "I can't stand to see you look so miserable."

"Thanks man." I smiled thinking he thought of something fun to do. "What do you want to do?"

"Go to my room to finish this book." He replied, causing the smile to vanish from my face.

"Come on Jazzy." I moaned. "I'm bored."

"Fine." He sighed. Then he smiled and said. "There is an idea that I've been toying around with for a little while."

"I knew I could count on you." I smiled. "What's the idea?"

"A few weeks ago, Momma and me went to this place where she digs up all of that moss she has growing outside. There are these huge boulders and fallen trees there."

"So?" I asked, not sure where he was going with this. There were trees and boulders all over the forest.

"This place is miles away from anything." Jasper smiled. "And no one would be able to hear a few homemade bombs going off, or the boulders and trees flying through the air. And even if they did, we'd be long gone before anyone can make it there to check it out."

"Oh yeah." I said excitedly. "Let's go blow some shit up."

RENESMEE'S POV

I can't believe Aunt Rose and Aunt Alice are still trying on dresses, we've been in the same store for over an hour now. It was fun at first, but now it's just boring. I was sitting in one of the many chairs by the dressing room, both of my Aunts were in dressing rooms.

I was about to go see what was taking so long when I smelled a familiar sent. I smiled when I saw Leah walking over to me.

"Hi Leah." I greeted, thrilled to have a distraction from my boredom.

"HI, Nessie." She returned the greeting and the smile. "I'm guessing Rosalie and Alice are in the dressing rooms."

"Yeah." I sighed.

"Bored?"

"Way bored."

"How about I kidnap you and take you for an ice cream?" She whispered.

"Yeah!" I agreed loudly.

"Shhh!" She said, glancing around. "First rule of kidnapping, do it quietly."

"Okay." I whispered back.

Leah's phone made a buzzing sound and she fished it out of her jean shorts pocket. "So much for our covert kidnapping, we'll have to make it a public kidnapping." She said, as she looked at her phone. "Alice heard us talking; she gave me permission to kidnap you."

I giggled, Leah was fun. I knew she would never suggest going for ice cream without telling my Aunts.

"Come on." She said, standing up and holding out her hand. "Ice cream is waiting."

I stood up and took her hand, then we walked out of the store and made our way to the food court in the crowded mall.

"Where's Jake?" I asked, as we walked.

"Grounded."

"What did he do this time?" I sighed.

"Mouthing off to Billy."

"That was dumb. Aunt Rosalie's right, boys are so immature."

Leah laughed and said. "I couldn't agree with you more."

Jake and I were really close, he was so much fun to be around. He's the one who gave me the nickname Nessie. He said that when he saw me after I was born, that I was too small for such a long name as Renesmee. So he named me Nessie.

Mom said she wasn't too thrilled about the nickname at first, she didn't like me being named after the Loch Ness Monster. But she grew to like it, now everyone calls me Nessie.

We made it to the food court and both ordered large ice cream Sundays with all of the toppings, then we sat at one of the tables and began eating.

I normally drink animal blood, but I do still eat human food on occasion. I never turn down junk food, especially ice cream.

Leah and I talked for several minutes as we ate; I really liked talking to her. We had a lot in common. We had just finished our ice cream, when Aunt Alice and Aunt Rose joined us. Both of them had several bags in their hands.

"Buy out the store?" Leah asked, nodding towards the bags.

"Nope." Aunt Alice replied. "We left the out of fashion dresses."

"We're going to drop these bags off at the car, then go to the book store." Aunt Rose said. "Want to join us?"

"Sure." Leah said, as we stood up and threw our trash away. "That's the store I was going to hit anyway. "

I smiled as we walked out of the food court, I loved the book store.

JASPER'S POV

"Easy with the fertilizer, Em." I said, as Emmett poured the brown mixture into an empty paper towel roll. "We want to blow up a boulder, not the entire forest."

"Where did you learn to do this?" Emmett asked, as he taped both ends of the roll to seal in the homemade explosives.

"I picked up a bit here and there." I replied.

I smiled at the ten bombs we had just made. "Let's see how well they work."

"Your idea, you do the honors." Emmett said.

I picked up one of the round bombs and flashed a few yards away, gently placing the bomb under a rather large boulder. I lit the fuse, then flashed back over to Emmett.

We heard a loud bang, and then watched as the boulder shot into the air. It traveled a good ten feet straight up before landing with an earth shaking thud.

"Man, that was awesome!" Emmett exclaimed. "My turn."

He grabbed one of the bombs and flashed over to another large boulder. Then he dug a small hole right beside the boulder, and placed the bomb into it. He lit the fuse and then flashed back over to where I was standing.

We heard a loud bang, then the boulder took off. This one traveled sideways as it shot up, landing with a loud thump into a massive tree trunk. The force of the blow toppled the tree over and it landed with a booming thud onto the forest floor.

We took turns blowing stuff up, and really enjoying ourselves. Soon, we only had two bombs left.

"I've got an idea." Emmett said. "Let's put both of these under a boulder."

"Not a good idea." I said. "It's…"

"Come on, Jazz Man." Emmett interrupted me. "It'll be awesome."

"Okay." I smiled, Emmett's enthusiasm was infectious.

We planted the last two bombs under the largest boulder we could find, then lit the fuses and flashed a few yards away. The bombs went off at the exact same moment, shattering the boulder instead of just shooting it in the air.

Huge chunks of rocks flew everywhere and Emmett and I laughed as we dodged them. Then I heard a yell of pain come from my brother and looked at him in shock and horror, he had a large jagged rock imbedded in his left shoulder. The force of the blast had been more powerful then we had expected.

"Em!" I shouted, as I flashed over to him. "Hold still."

"Maybe the two bombs weren't such a good idea after all." He said, through gritted teeth.

I gently checked out the damage and saw that his left arm was just barley still attached. If I tried to remove the rock, it would be severed completely

"I'm sorry, Emmett." I said, as guilt washed over me. I couldn't believe I was so stupid.

"Not your fault, Jazz." Emmett said. "It was my idea to put both bombs there."

Before I could respond, I smelled a very familiar scent. Despite the fact that I probably wouldn't be sitting too comfortably for a while, I was extremely relieved when Papa flashed over to us.

"What happened?" He asked, as he started examining Emmett. "I heard all of the explosions and came to see what was going on."

"we were just relieving some of our boredom." Emmett said, then he hissed in pain.

"Sorry, son." Papa said. "I'm trying to be as careful as I can."

He glanced around the area for a moment and I followed his gaze, we really had destroyed a lot of boulders and trees. Large craters littered the forest floor.

"What kind of explosives were you two using?" He asked, as he returned his attention towards Emmett's wound.

"Fertilizer and a few household cleaning products." I said in a soft voice.

I couldn't believe I was so carless, I never should have agreed to use two bombs. I should have been more responsible.

"Cool it, Jazz." Emmett said trough gritted teeth. "You're sending those guilt waves everywhere and I'm in enough pain as it is."

"Sorry, Em." I said, trying to rein in my feelings.

"Emmett." Papa said in a gentle voice . "I'm sorry, son. But I am going to have to pull the rock out, and it will hurt. I'm also going to have to finish removing your arm before your venom starts the healing process. If I don't, it'll trap a lot of debris in the wound."

"Okay, Dad." Emmett said, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Just think about something else." I said, as I started sending calming waves to my brother. I took his large right hand in mine.

Papa yanked the rock out and Emmett yelled out in pain, his eyes shooting open.

"Almost done son." Papa said. Then he quickly gave Emmett's arm a tug, and tore it the rest of the way off.

"Damnit!" Emmett yelled, "That hurt like Hell!"

"I know, son." Papa said, ignoring Emmett's use of profanity. "It'll be okay. It'll hurt when I reattach it, but the pain will end soon."

"Not soon enough." Emmett mumbled.

"Let's go home." Papa said.

RENESMEE'S POV

When we left the book store, I had four new books. I loved reading, and read anything I can get my hands on. My reading options are restricted though. I could read books written for adults without any problem, but they had to be approved by my family.

My Aunts and Leah vetoed three of my choices, one for language and the other two for violence. I didn't like my reading choices being limited, but knew there was nothing I could do about it. I tried throwing a fit once when Grandma took me to the book store. But that only ended with me not getting any books, I did get a spanking though.

"Where too now?" Aunt Rose asked.

"The Music Note." I said with a pleading look. It was a huge music store here in the mall, and I loved it even more then the book store.

"Sounds like a plan." Aunt Rose smiled.

The four of us walked the short distance to the store and I immediately went to the large section of sheet music. The older girls started browsing through the cd's.

I found two pieces of sheet music that I wanted, so of course Aunt Alice brought them for me.

"Let's go to Dexters." Aunt Alice said, as we left the music store. "I saw a really cute pair of shoes I have got to have."

"I could use new shoes." Leah said. "I want to find a pair of heels to match that yellow dress I bought last week."

An hour later, I had two new pairs of shoes. And I was bored again. My Aunts and Leah were gushing over a new arrival of heels. I tried reading one of my new books, but the mall was too noisy for me to concentrate.

What I really wanted to do was go home and practice my new sheet music, but I doubted the older girls were anywhere near finished.

"Aunt Alice." I whined, I tended to do that when I really wanted something. It usually worked on my Aunts and Uncles. "I'm bored, can we go home now?"

"In a few minutes, Sweetie." She said, giving me a smile. "We're almost done."

I sighed and sat down on one of the benches and tried to read again. But quickly gave up. Then something outside the store caught my eye. There were three clowns walking through the mall, passing out balloons and playing with the kids. I had to go see the clowns.

I looked at My Aunts and Leah, they were still absorbed in the shoes. I smiled as an idea hit me. I could go see the clowns, and be back before they even missed me.

I walked out of the store and saw that the clowns were now several stores away, so I ran after them. I knew I was breaking some serious rules, like no running indoors. But the main rule I was breaking was wondering off on my own, that a big rule. But my Aunts and Leah would never know I was gone.

And even if they did, I would just get a short lecture. My Aunts never punished me, and neither did Uncle Emmett. Uncle Jasper has made me sit in time out a couple times before, but for only a very short time.

Leah and Jake had my parents' permission to punish me when they were watching me, but neither one ever had. Uncle Billy made me sit in time out a few times.

"Hey! Watch it kid!" a man yelled out, as I ran past him. I glanced back to make sure I hadn't tripped him, but he was still standing. I turned my head back into the direction I was running and saw someone step out in front of me. I skidded to a halt and looked up into the face of a very angry looking Aunt Rose.

"Renesmee Cullen." She scolded, her voice hard. "You know better then to run off like that."

"We were scared when you disappeared." Aunt Alice said, as she and Leah walked over. Both of them looked as angry as Aunt Rose.

"Lets go Missy." Aunt Rose said, grabbing my hand. "You are in a ton of trouble."

Sorry to end it there, but I need some sleep. I will have the next chapter up over the weekend. I may be able to get two chapters done by then.
