A/n: the Lizzie Borden house is in Fall River Massachusetts or somewhere close to that... It is one of the top ten most haunted places in the world. PM me or review if you have any more questions

Disclaimer: I don't own the Lizzie Borden House or the Cullens. Stephenie Meyer owns the Cullens and I have absolutely no clue who owns the Lizzie Borden House, but, no lawsuit-provoking-things intended

Previously on Cullens in The LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE:

"Okay. Now time for the big announcement!" she announced. "As you all know, all of the parental units are away for the weekend. Carlisle and Esme are 'hiking' and Charlie is fishing with Billy. So that leaves us Cullens," - Edward coughed, and Alice amended her sentence -"and to-be-Cullen, all alone and of course Bella is staying with us…" she said with an evil smile my way, trailing off and looking at everybody before exploding with the big news.

Chapter 2 begging

Bella POV

"WE'RE GOING TO STAY AT THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE BED AND BREAKFAST THIS WEEKEND!!!" she exploded, jumping off Jasper and dancing around the room. I stiffened and started breathing heavily, nearing the point of hyperventilation. (A/n: read author's note above or search for info on the Lizzie Borden house if you are confused like Rose and Emmett)

Rosalie and Emmett looked confused; they probably didn't know anything about the Lizzie Borden house. Jasper was concentrating hard trying to calm Alice and me, but it was no use.

"And what is so special -slash- scary about this place?" Emmett asked skeptically.

"It's haunted!" I screamed breathlessly. Edward joined Jasper now trying, to calm me, but I couldn't be calmed. We were going to spend the weekend in a haunted house - where two people got mysteriously murdered in the same day, using the same weapon, and it is yet to be found out how and who murdered them even over 100 years later!

By this point I was totally hyperventilating and on the verge of tears. Edward was rocking me back and forth in his arms like I was a baby. Jasper was still trying to calm me, knowing, also, that Alice was not confused by my reaction and would be explaining soon. Alice joined in, also trying to calm me down. Rosalie was mad because I was getting all the attention. Emmett was trying to lighten the atmosphere, crack a joke - usual Emmett.

"Shh, Bella, love, calm down," Edward murmured in my ear. Now I was pretty sure I was about to faint from oxygen deprivation. Jasper, Edward and Alice were all desperately trying to keep me from fainting when Alice had a vision and announced, "Edward, Jazz, she is going to faint in about 30 seconds from lack of oxygen …" She trailed off as Edward grumbled. I really wish he wouldn't always get mad at people because of me. That was my last coherent thought as black dots clouded my vision and I faded into unconsciousness.

* * *

I was starting to regain consciousness and the first thing I noticed were the cold bodies. Edward's strong arms were wrapped around me, Alice's stony hand gripping my own. Edward's lap was cold and hard underneath me. Next, I heard musical, melodic voices that could only belong to vampires.

"How much longer, Alice?" Edward's velvet voice asked as he stroked my hair gently.

There was a silence while she concentrated. "Um, about one more minute, but she will still be scared to death and she may faint again if we don't calm her down fast enough this time…" Her bubbly voice responded, sounding quite worried but also slightly irritated.

Now I woke up fully seeing that I was indeed sitting on Edward's lap, with his arms wrapped around me, Alice holding my hand and Jasper right next to us, reaching out to touch my shoulder is a brotherly gesture and making his calming effects stronger.

I was still sitting down and I wanted to get up, but when I tried to push away their arms so I could stand, Edward just stood up with me, knowing I would stumble.

"Are you alright, love?" Edward asked me, his voice full of concern.

"No," I mumbled, wrapping my arms around him. I buried my head in his chest and cried into his shirt. "I am not going to stay at a haunted house this weekend!" I said, starting to cry.

The room was silent.

Edward spoke first. "What do you mean a haunted house?" he asked, confused.

"The Lizzie Borden House is where Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were brutally murdered on the same day, with the same weapon over one hundred years ago and nobody has been proclaimed guilty of committing their murders to this day!" I screeched, trying to calm myself.

Everybody still looked confused, so I continued, "Lizzie Borden was suspected of killing them, her own parents. Guests at the house and staff members that work there have all reported strange incidents with supernatural activity. It is one of the ten most haunted places in the world! Some people say that they hear woman weeping or see a woman in Victorian style clothes tending to the house - ghosts! Some people hear footsteps when nobody is there or vague conversations from empty rooms! And the doors open and close on their own! It's haunted!" I wailed, clinging to Edward again. (A/n: yes I researched this after I watched 'the ten most haunted places' show on TV. It was just a random idea to make this story, so I researched it a bit more… back to story!)

Emmett was the first to react and he burst out laughing. "What's so funny, Emmett?" I growled, which only made him laugh harder.

Edward answered my question. "Oh, he's just wondering why you are scared of ghosts when you have five vampires to protect you," he stated, then sweetly kissed my cheek. "All better?" he asked. I shook my head. I wasn't better, not at all; I was still scared just not as scared as I was a minute ago.

"I see your point, but I'm not scared of the ghosts, I'm just creeped out to be sleeping in the same place where people where brutally murdered barely a century ago!" A disbelieving glance from Jasper had me amending me claims, "Okay, okay, so what if I am scared of the ghosts? So what?"

"Come on, love. Let's get you home to pack your stuff," he said, dragging me out the door and running back to my house.

He went in through my window and set me in front of my dresser, grabbing my duffel from under my bed. I packed, blushing when I grabbed undergarments; I looked over to see he was politely looking away when I opened that drawer. While he sat in the corner watching me without a word, I hummed to myself. When I was done I turned to him and he slung my bag over his shoulder, picked me up in his arms, and took off out my window.

When we arrived back at the Cullen's I was not surprised to see everybody ready with the bags already in the car and them waiting for us on the porch.

Edward set me down then darted off upstairs to get his stuff together. He was back in seconds, holding another duffel bag.

"Please, Edward, do we have to go?" I asked for the millionth time.

"Bella, you have to come, or else," Alice threatened. If she wasn't a million times stronger than me with her vampire strength, I would never give in, or find her that scary.

We climbed in the car and drove off to the airport, with me complaining and begging the whole way there, and Alice threatening to take me shopping or give me a major makeover every time I thought of another escape plan.

We arrived in Boston, Massachusetts at Logan airport and got out, got our bags and squished into a very nice rental car. We drove up to Fall River. It should have been an hour long drive but thanks to my super speedy vampire driver it only took about 25 minutes.

We arrived and got out - well, Edward had to carry me out because I was frozen with fear.

We went up to the door, checked in and went to our three respected rooms. Alice and Jasper were next to us, we had a connecting room. Rosalie and Emmett were across the hall. Of course, none of them could sleep so they would be spending the night with their partners while I slept in Edward's arms. Gulp. This was going to be a long night. I would not sleep much at all. Even with Edward there and me in the protective enclosure of his arms, with him humming to me.
