And The Rain Came Down...

I felt the water rush up my throat and my eyes spring open. I turned to the side automatically and spit up the water. I felt the agonizing seconds it took me to breathe in. It came jagged and quick, a hand on my back rubbing lightly.

"Thank god you were okay! I thought I lost you!" I looked up to see Emmett completely soaked, same as I. My mind started to remember what happened just before, how he kissed me and said he loved me. My heart sank, realizing it was all a dream.

"What happened?" I asked raspily, clearing my throat right afterwards.

"We fell in, and you hit your head on something. Just before you passed out you sucked in a bunch of water. I've been trying to revive you for what seems like forever." he laughed a little but quickly looked serious again as he saw the paleness in my skin. I wasn't sure if it was from the near death experience, or thinking about how his lips really did touch mine. I looked down at the ground a little and swallowed, finding it hard to.

"Come on, lets go back." he held out his hand to help me up. When he brought me up, our bodies were just inches from each others. He looked down at me and smiled, wiping a drop of water from my nose. We then started walking back towards the town, him still holding my hand.

There then was a sudden growl from behind us. We both froze.

"P-please tell me that was your stomach." I whispered. From the corner of my eye his head shook no. We turned slowly to see a bear, just on the top of the cliff. My heart pounded out of my ribs with fear. It suddenly opened it's mouth and roared a deafening sound. I felt my hand suddenly yanked and I found myself running with Emmett. Clouds were suddenly rolling in again and we were sprinting across the long fields.

Thunder rolled through the fields, causing my stomach to turn in fear. I then found Emmett's face and found a light of sorts. There then was a sudden stumble as I felt my feet lift out from under me. I landed hard on the ground, flowers rushing up into the air.

"Eliza!" Emmett knelt beside me.

"Come on we got-" lightning hit the ground hard so close Emmett fell over from the rumbling. He grabbed my hand and we began running again. Lightning struck over and over around us. My breathes came in almost shrieks as we ran. The ground shook furiously. We were just coming up to the town when I saw the flash of lightning almost right infront of us.

"EMMETT!" I felt myself scream. I was blinded by the sudden sparks. I felt ourselves keep running, although I didn't know where. There then was a sudden yanking at my collar and being thrown into something. I landed on something hard, but smooth. THen something heavy landed on top of me. The thunder seemed quieter now, and I heard mumbles from whatever was ontop of me.

"Emmett?" I whispered.

"Yeah." the thing ontop of me replied. I noticed then that we were moving, quickly. When the blindness finally subsided, a pair of well polished shoes were infront of me. I looked around more, we were in a fance horse carriage. Black velvelt covering every inch of the interior. I looked up to see a kind handsome face looking at me.

"Are you alright?" he asked, "sorry to have thrown you in so abruptly, but it is quite dangerous outside. Where are you two staying in town?"

"Hotel de Giggle." Emmett grumbled. He suddenly looked at me and I looked at him. We both flushed and got off of each other. Sitting across from the man. I now noticed a woman sat next to him. She was just as radiant.

"Thankyou for picking us up." I said feeling the bump on my head. I brought my hand down to see blood. Emmett had a sudden look of worry.

"Let me see that. I am a doctor." THe man sat next to me and began examining my head. I felt my self go pink again, having him examine my head. He was quite handsome.

"I am Carlisle by the way. Carlisle Cullen. This is my wife Esme." I looked over at the woman who was smiling. She had a very warm smile, it made me jealous of how beautiful she was.

"Hang on, you're barely older than me. How are you a doctor?" I asked him as he stopped examing my injury. He simply smiled.

"I'm a quick learner. There's a small cut on your head that is just bleeding a bit more than usual because of adrenaline I presume. You'll have a slight bump, but it wont last long. Just ice it as soon as you get in." He went and sat next to his wife again.

"Thanks. Oh! I'm Elizabeth. This is Emmett." They smiled again. I could tell Emmett was thinking hard about something as we sat there facing these beautiful people.

EMMETT'S POV

I stared at Carlisle, something seemed different about him and his wife. They had the same skin tone-pale. And eyes-a piercing topaz. At the same time it was hard to think suspiciously of them when they were so kind and...beautiful! The car came to a stop.

"Please follow us." We went out of the cart and were infront of a hotel called Gigi's Manor. It looked amazing from the outside, through the windows you could see red curtains and amazing furniture. Now they really were too good to be true. It was then I noticed two figures standing in front of the building. One was a boy with bronze tossled hair, looking very serious. THe other was a girl I presumed from the blonde hair sticking out from her hood.

"These are my children, Edward and Rosalie. This is Emmett and Elizabeth." Carlisle said nicely. I stuck my hand out and shook with the boy who gave a slight smile. I took the girls hand, feeling her flawless skin.

"Rosalie, it's not raining you can take that ridiculous thing off." Esme said laughing slightly.

"Not until we are inside." she snapped in a suprisingly lovely voice.

"Well then, shall we?" Carlisle ushered towards the front door. I grabbed Elizabeth's hand as thunder erupted again. We stepped inside the beautiful hotel and sat down in the lobby. They sat across from us, their kids. Edward went and sat in the corner, and Rosale sat at the bar just beside us, taking off her hood. I felt myself, and Elizabeth gasp as we saw her face. She was...amazingly beautiful. The same topaz eyes as her parents. Her blonde hair flew down her back gracefully, not appearing as if she had had a hood on at all. I gulped and turned back to Carlisle.

"So, you staying her for long?"

ELIZABETH'S POV

Night stars glistened down on the town as we said our goodbyes to the Cullens.

"It was lovely meeting you both. Be safe walking home." Esme said sweetly. I could see Rosalie still sitting at the bar pretending not to care, Edward giving her a stern look, like he knew what she was thinking. I felt the envy of how beautiful she was, but let it go, knowing I wouldn't see her ever again, and that Emmett still held my hand.

"Take care." he said nicely as we stepped out onto the street and began walking to Hotel De Giggle.

"They were nice." I said to him as we walked down the dimly lit street.

"Yeah, and saved our lives! We would have been done if they hadn't picked us up! Seriously, we were in deep shi-"

"Emmett!" I laughed. He smiled and nodded in apology.

We eventually wound up back at Hotel De Giggle, a new boy behind the counter. I saw Helen and Charlie playing chess by the unlit fireplace.

"Hey you guys are back! Where'd you go? It was terrible out there!" Helen exclaimed at us. Charlie was quickly replacing pieces as her back was turned.

"We met some people and stayed with them for a while." Emmett answered.

"Well, come join us! We were just going to open a bottle of brandy!" said the man behind the counter.

"Yeah! Hey Danny, make them some dinner and I'll close this place up." Charlie got up and locked the door behind us. I went and sat next to Helen who looked at the chess board with atonishment.

"That's amazin-how'd you win?" She was amazed on how Charlie beat her so fast.

"That's because he was moving the pieces around." Emmett said sitting next to Charlie, leaning his one arm on his right knee.

"Hey!" Charlie shouted smacking Emmett. They both looked at Helen who had fury in her eyes.

"No more chess for you!" I laughed. Danny came over and poured a glass of brandy for everyone.

"I'm Elizabeth by the way. THis is Emmett."

"How yah doin." he said shaking Emmett's hand.

"Yeah I heard a pretty girl was staying here, Charlie wouldn't stop talking about it." Charlie's eyes bulged out of his head and looked up at Danny.

"What!?" came in unison from me, Charlie and Emmett. Helen giggled her infectious laugh.

"Don't deny it." Danny said sitting next to me, draping his arm over the couch. He looked at me and brought his glass up.

"She is cute." he then sipped his wine. I looked down and began to blush. I looked up from under my hair to see both Emmett and Charlie with anger.

"Don't you have something to cook?" Charlie said through his teeth. Danny got up smirking. I sat back feeling a bit more comfortable. I went to grab at my necklace, when I realized there wasn't anything there. I clutched my collarbone, panic written on my face.

"Elizabeth. You okay?" I looked up at Emmett, my breath becoming faster.

"My grandmother's necklace. It's gone. I-I had it on this morning but...." my mind trailed to when we had fallen into pond. I got up and headed for the door where the only light came from the street lamp. I felt a fair of hands go around my waist.

"No! Elizabeth! It's too late to go now! Don't! Plus remember what was out there!" Emmett said in my ear. I was barely paying attention as I looked out more clearly. Near the lamp post, stood a person. They were wearing a beautiful royal purple cloak. THe hood covering their face. But their beautiful long blonde hair stuck out.

"You're right..." I said airely. Turning to the bar and sitting down the the food Danny had just finished. Emmett sat next to me, scarfing down his food like crazy. We spent the rest of the night with Helen, Charlie and Danny, wondering what other employees would be out tomorrrow, and if I ever would get my necklace back. I looked back over my shoulder one more time, the blonde curls never going away the whole night...
