After lunch I settled on the couch and put on the television. A rerun of America's Next Top Model was on. It was a marathon. Tyra looked amazing; Miss. J looked, as always, out there with the growing ruffles for every lost person. Nigel was yummy, and Mr. J was spot on, like always. I got through five episodes when the boys came to join me. Jasper sat in the chair next to the couch I was on and Edward took the seat next to mine.

"I don't understand why these girls want this so badly" Jasper said after watching one episode.

"The money, the career, and the title" I said off hand. Edward looked over at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" I asked annoyed

"Did you want to be a model when you were a kid princess?"

I sighed and crossed my arms. "No, my sister did"

"You don't have a sister" Edward said looking confused

"How would you know?" I grumbled

"Because I checked, all your family…" he trailed off

"Is dead, yes I know" I said

"Bella," Jasper said softly "it's our job to know these things, but we're sorry to bring it up."

I nodded and sighed. I haven't talked about it in so long.

"I had a big sister; she was eight years older than me. I idolized her. She was diagnosed with leukemia when I was ten. She passed when I was twelve." I said. Jasper put his hand on my back and patted it once. Edward was just staring at his hands.

"Sorry." Edward said softly beside me.

"Like you said, you didn't know." I said and got up heading to my room. I stayed in there all night. I haven't thought about Nicole for so long. I cried all night until I fell asleep.

"Morning Bella" Jasper smiled as I walked into the kitchen. He was eating eggs that Edward was making.

"Want some princess?" Edward asked eating his egg.

"Yes, please" I said and poured myself coffee. We ate in silence for a while.

"I was thinking we go to the range today" Jasper said the Edward.

Edward nodded then turned to me with an evil smile. "Hey princess, want to learn how to shoot a gun?"

I chocked on my eggs.

"What?" I stared at him then at Jasper.

"Bella, it is a good idea" Jasper said

I shook my head. "I don't think so?"

"Come on Princess, would we let you get hurt?"

I glanced at him and slouched over defeated. "I still don't want to" I said grumpy.

After breakfast we all hiked to the range. It was a five minute hike from the house. I had on sweat pants and Edward's FBI jacket. He was smart enough to bring a winter coat, I wasn't. In my defense I had no clue where I was going at the time I packed my things.

"Put these on" Jasper handed me ear things. After I put them on I couldn't hear a thing until they started firing. Jasper and Edward emptied their guns in the targets set up around the field. I thought it was stupid to waist the bullets now only in case something happened or someone found us.

"Okay, your turn" Edward turned to me reloading his gun.

"What" I said pretending I couldn't hear him "You ready to go back, okay" I turned and started to walk away.

"Nice try" he said grabbing my hand. His soft fingers held me in place. "You can hear just fine. Your turn"

"Hold it like this, never aim at your feet or anyone else." He said handing it to me. I carefully took it and cringed.

Jasper laughed at me and started to walk away.

"Where is he going?" I asked

"Back to the house, he wants to call the office and see if there has been progress." Edward placed his hand on my arm and raised it up. The gun now pointed on the field. "This is the safety. Release it like this. Aim and shoot." I released the safety and pointed in the general direction of the target and fired.

"Oh my god!" I said the gun flew back some after I fired. It was deafening actually shooting it. I put the safety on and handed it back to Edward.

"Come on Princess, I don't want to leave until I know you can fire a gun at someone attacking you." He handed me the gun again and stood behind me.

"Look for the target" he whispered in my ear. "Line up the gun" I did as he said. "Aim a little higher, then shoot" I did and I hit the paper man.

"Ah!" I jumped turning around "I did it" I said as Edward franticly got the gun away from me, because I was paying no mind to it at the moment. I did the sponge-bob-square-pants around town move.

"Bella," Edward said angry, "you could have shot your flipping leg off! I told you to pay attention to where you point it!"

"Sorry" I giggled and promised to pay attention. He reluctantly gave me the gun and I aimed and fired eight more shots. I only missed once. It felt amazing to have this control. I gave Edward the gun after he said I was out of bullets. We headed home shortly after we took down the targets. I was so proud of myself.

Hey everyone. Go review if you want more.
