Thank you so much guys! Your reviews meant a lot to me! I love you guys so much!

So here's a chapters about the girls... sometimes even the toughest nut must crack! Also, that little Esme-leaving-Carlisle history is something that I made up... so it's not true. Tee hee...

Chapter 18 – Let Them Be!

ALICE's POV

I watched the screen, looking at Edward vomiting the hell out.

"It looked serious," said Rosalie. For once, she was genuine.

"No! Edward! Not again! He ate two plates of pasta today... Stupid! Why did you eat so much? Alice, please tell me he's going to be alright. Alice?"

I snapped out from my visions, and managed a wane smile at Bella. She looked close to tears. But I was seething inside. I couldn't believe what I saw. Do Emmett really thing he could fool me? Jesus, when Esme found out they're all going to be barbecued and thrown to the wolves.

When I didn't answer Bella, she immediately thought of the worst scenario and put her face in her hand. Rosalie bit her lips, and patted Bella on her back.

"They're going to be okay," Rosalie soothed. "They're vampires. They'll find a way,"

I watched the scene, touched. Rosalie was really trying to like Bella, but little did she know the boys HAD already found a damn way. I watched the TV again, and saw that Carlisle and Jasper were cleaning the kitchen, while Emmett and Edward were walking around the beach.

Scouting around the beach, or I should say.

Suddenly, I got hit by another vision.

"We found it! We found it!" Emmett cried excitedly. They had swam out to the open sea and far away from any cameras.

"Where?" Carlisle asked.

"At the back of the house, where there're a pile of stones. The stones are really high and there's no camera around. We can dump all the food there!" said Emmett.

"Really? Are you sure it could work, Edward?"

Edward nodded. "Yes. We've sniffed out all the holes and sands and there's no camera. We can dig a hole and just dump all the food inside,"

Curse them! I thought silently and began to switch the camera channels. We have placed fifty-seven cameras around the house, and I can't believe they might actually find a spot there's safe from the camera's eye.

"Dang it!" I said as my fears were confirmed.

"What is it Alice?" Rosalie and Bella asked, afraid.

Before I could reply, something in the TV pulled my attention. Jasper.

Oh, my god! Jasper! My Jasper was vomiting again. He had made egg sushi today, and with a bet against Emmett, he had also chuck in a whole tube of wasabi in his dead system.

"Blood! Yes, I am the survival!" Emmett screamed! "Jasper cough up blo-od, Jasper cough up blo-od!" he danced around the toilet and sang.

No! My Jasper coughed up blood! This was really getting a huge toll out of them!

I made my decision. Let them be. Let them hide the food. I will not tell Esme… Let the boys… live!

ESME'S POV

I was in my room, and thinking of Carlisle, feeling guilty. Right after I came back from Isle Esme, I regretted my decision. How can I live without Carlisle? I've never been separated from him before! Well, not if you count the three years. I was a newborn and I hated my life then. I needed to get away, like Edward once did. But that was before I realised my feelings for Carlisle. But now I had doomed him to an island in the middle of the ocean and condemned him to cook and to EAT! My heart was wrenched out when I saw him lying in the couch, lifeless like a corpse.

Esme, technically Carlisle IS a corpse, I reminded myself sternly. He's a big boy now. He can take care of himself.

I wept silently. Oh, god! I regret, so much now that I've hurt Carlisle both emotionally and physically. I wanted to call him and asked if he's alright. Excited by the idea, I pulled out my phone and dialed Carlisle's cellphone.

"Hello?" Carlisle picked up at the second ring.

"Carlisle!" I said, letting my emotions relieved for a second. Then I remembered I was supposed to be angry, so I said coolly.

"How're you?"

"I'm fine, thank you," said Carlisle, surprised and hurt by my coolness.

"Did you make progress?" I asked.

"I think so," he answered uncertainly. "I don't really know. Cooking is totally beyond my medical skills,"

He's trying to make me laugh! Oh, that's Carlisle! Always trying to make people feel good even though he felt like crap.

"Right. You can do it. I believe in you," I let a little sweetness seep into my voice.

He noticed it. I'm sure he smiled. "Thank you, Esme,"

"Is that Esme?" I heard Emmett yelling in the background. "Give me the phone, Carlie! Give - me - the - phone! Hello?"

I heard a grunt, and I am so sure Emmett just wrestled the phone away from Carlisle and "accidentally" punched his gut.

"Emmett! Did you punch Carlisle?" I demanded.

"No! Well, accidentally," he amended as I growled. "Esme, we're really sorry, okay? Don't make us eat anymore! At least let us cook but not eat! Please?"

My heart softened. My will almost crumbled. I opened my mouth to agree, but I couldn't seem to say the small little words. I'm afraid I would say "Come home!" instead of "yes!"

"Emmett, give me back the phone," I heard Carlisle said.

"No!" Emmett cried. There was a confusing moments, which I heard Edward and Jasper shouting, and Carlisle grunted again. Then, I heard something broke.

"Shit! Is that Esme's white vase that we brought in Egypt?" Carlisle whispered.

Oh. My. God.

All my warmth and guitiness and the wish for the boys to come home vanished. Instead I said, "No. You are to continue your punishments and follow everything that I've ordered. No turning down!"

And I slammed the phone shut.

On the other hand...

"Damn, Emmett," Carlisle swore. "I was just getting Esme warming towards us. She almost say she'll lift the punishments! Now see what you've done? You've broke her vase and probably earning another week for us here in exile!"

Emmett looked at his feet unhappily. Edward and Jasper looked like they want to pull Emmett away and tear him to pieces and feed him to the wolves.

"Now there' only one option," said Carlisle grimly. "We will do Plan B. Let's hope Esme won't find out!"

So what do you think? Hmmmm... Since Alice would not tell... do you think Esme will find out?

Review, please! Thanks xxx
