Sorry for not updating for like AGES, but I went to Ireland for a few days and recently I'm obsessed with reading.

Short chapter as well ;l

"God, if I was there, I'd mess his face up," Edward boasted in the living room that evening.

"Well you weren't, and I was glad you weren't," Carlisle said, sipping on hot chocolate.

"Are you seriously okay though?" Edward said wincing as he spoke; it had taken 43 band aids to cover all the cuts on his body.

"I'm fine. Bella sorted it out," Carlisle laughed.

"As long as you're fine," Edward muttered.

"Hey, the pay arrived...50,000?" Emmett said in a confused voice. Everyone looked at him in bemusement.

"Why?" Jasper asked looking at Emmett. Emmett had a cheque in his hands, and there was no name on the top line, but it was definitely 50,000.

"Oh, Carlisle," Edward said happily, rushing over to Carlisle and hugging him tightly. Despite the cuts on his body being so painful he was able to suffocate Carlisle in his hug.

"There's also an invitation to his photography exhibition," Emmett said pulling out a white card that did have all their names on.

"No way. I hate that guy," Carlisle said defiantly.

"But we can't take the cheque and not go, that's just plain rude," Jasper told Carlisle. Carlisle nodded and agreed with Jasper.

A few days later, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, Edward and Bella walked into the photography exhibition. After getting past the security, they all went their separate ways.

"Hey are you that one in the picture?" someone asked Edward. Edward was confused. They then pointed at the picture on the farthest wall. Edward walked towards it and saw Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper walk closer to it.

In front of them was a large picture encased in an ornate frame. It showed Bella holding Edward in her arms and Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper running in the background. Edward was covered in blood.

Underneath it was a caption saying, 'Dinner under the moonlight.'

After reading the caption Edward entered a fit. He winced as he yelled, "What am I supposed to be dinner for these people?! HOW DARE HE TAKE A PICTURE LIKE THAT!"

"I think it's rather good," Jasper said.

"When did he take it?" Emmett asked Jasper. Jasper shrugged. Carlisle held up the envelope containing the money.

"At least he paid us."

The envelope disappeared from his fingers.

"Auntie?" the four boys said simultaneously. Auntie was looking at the cheque in the envelope. She took a pen out and printed her name in the top line.

"What?" Edward questioned.

"Don't worry, I'll take it as part of your rent, I'd say you're a few months ahead now," Auntie smiled beautifully, "That's a striking photograph boys, if I say so myself that might be that photographer's masterpiece. It was an excellent idea to make Bella into a lady."

"But...our...money," Edward gasped. Auntie didn't listen.

"Well, I'm off to do a spot of travelling in Korea, Sbohem!" Auntie said making her way through the crowds.

When the boys didn't think that this day could get any worse, it did.

"So you actually came!" the photographer said, walking towards them.

"Can we kick his ass now Carlisle?" Edward growled lowly.

"Sure."

They wanted to shy away from him, but they stayed put, "You are the reason of my exhibition being a success today, and even with that disastrous photo shoot you managed not to tarnish my name!"

"What is your name?" Carlisle asked, Emmett, Jasper and Edward all looked at him. They didn't know his name either.

"That's not the point," the photographer said carrying on, "Where is the beautiful Bella? There's people asking for her, didn't she come? Is she still offended?"

"I'm sure she came with us," Jasper mumbled to Edward. Edward looked around for her.

"No." Edward said quickly, "She didn't."

The photographer's face drooped and he walked sullenly away. Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle stared at Edward in perplex. Edward pointed shakily at Bella's figure. They saw something that disturbed them, which chilled them. Bella was fixated over a picture that was set in a graveyard and there were zombies and skulls everywhere. Edward took a hold of her and began to leave, pulling her along.

"I want it! I want it!"Bella complained, trying to throw Edward off her. Edward flinched with her attempts as they stung his arm.

Jasper hailed a taxi and Carlisle and Emmett got in. Edward forced Bella into the taxi and they drove home.
