AN: Thank you all so much for the reviews! Last chapter was not the best, I know, but I appreciate all the reviews just the same. And a special thank you to KonanYanagi. Your review was so great! Check out her story, Star Lit Sky. She has such good ideas!
Emmett's story is pretty much the exact same as the one provided on Mrs. Stephenie Meyer site. It is not mine.

Bella POV:
I was only vaguely aware that someone was shaking me awake. I became very aware, however, when that someone was splashing me with freezing water. I blinked my eyes open and stared into their golden eyes. There were two of them.
One was obviously Alice. Her tiny frame was shaking with relief and happiness. The other must be Emmett, Jasper or Carlisle, as I had met only Edward. He was, for lack of a better word, huge. I looked at his arm, which was right next to my head. It bulged, and I cringed. He was so big and scary. He chuckled, and Alice smiled.
"She's awake." He murmured.
"I told you! Did I not say it would be three minutes, twenty seconds exactly three minutes and twenty seconds ago?" Alice laughed, it was a high-pitched sound, but soft somehow, like bells. However, when the big one joined in, I got scared yet again. His booming laugh was loud. I thought back to the reason why he had fainted.
A vampire. I shuddered, and they both backed away. It must have been a dream. Vampires don't exist. I was being ridiculous. I pulled myself to my feet and held out my hand. "My name is Isabella Marie Swan Newton."
"I'm Alice, this is Emmett." The little pixie one replied. Ah. So it was Emmett. I would have to remember that. "But of course, you already knew that."
I looked up, confused. "Huh?" I stared at her, desperate for an answer.
"Oh, God, you forgot. I'm Alice. I see the future. Well," she laughed again, "the future as of that moment. I knew what Edward was going to ask you, and I knew what you would say in response. It was quite an interesting conversation, I might add. I had to give a moment- to- moment re-telling for the entire family."
"Rosalie was damn pissed." Emmett shook his head laughing.
"Jasper was so funny." Alice joined in. I waited patiently as they discussed how certain members of the family had reacted to the conversation I had with Edward. When they were finished, I spoke.
"Nice to know that discussion wasn't private." I muttered.
"Oh, nothing is ever private in our family." Emmett said, shaking his head. "Not with Edward's mind-reading or this little one seeing your future." He nudged Alice. "Not even your emotions are private, with Jasper always messing them up."
Wow. They really acted like brother and sister. "You know, Edward didn't answer all my questions." I still wanted answers. They seemed to like me, or at least not hate me. Maybe, just maybe they would give me the answers I still needed.
"I know. And that's why we're here." Alice and Emmett sat down at the same time. "What do you want to know?"
"He told me he was a vampire. Are you two vampires as well?"
They both took a deep breath and looked at each other nervously. When Alice nodded, Emmett replied. "Yes. And so is the rest of the family."
Gah. I was staying with a family of vampires. I was too stunned to be scared.
"Where is Edward?" I suddenly realized he wasn't in the room
"He's... eating." Alice said uncertainly, and prepared for my reaction.
"Eating? What is he doing, just draining the blood of some innocent human? You really are monsters. I have to get out of here." I ran to the door and shook the door knob furiously. It was locked. I turned and faced them. "Let me out now."
"Edward said she might do something like this. Bella, listen." Alice sounded desperate.
"Why should I listen to you? Because you'll suck me dry if I don't? Let me out."
"Bella! We aren't like other vampires! We don't drink from humans! We don't want to be monsters." It was Emmett who spoke. I was surprised.
"Then what do you eat?" My voice came out with an edge.
"We drink animal blood! Bella, don't be like this. We want you here." Alice said her voice sad. She sounded close to tears, but I didn't think vampires could cry.
"Well, there aren't any animals here! This is a boat!" I shrieked. I thought he was good, but he was off somewhere killing a poor innocent human. A human with no life ahead of them now.
"Carlisle jarred animal blood for us. We would never betray our lifestyle. It makes us who we are." Emmett spoke with such sincerity that I had to believe him. I turned around to face them.
"Okay." I took a deep breath. "I believe you." They both smiled.
"Thank you for understanding." Alice reached out for a hug. I hugged her back. Her skin was cold, like Edward's but no electric shock shot through me this time. Huh.
Emmett and Alice sat down again. I sat down across from them. "Edward didn't tell me anything about Emmett, but I know all about you, Alice. What happened in your life, Emmett?"
He laughed. "Get ready. This is a cool story. I was hunting in the woods and I got mauled by a bear. I was fighting him off and I gave up. When he was done playing with me, he left. I couldn't move, and I was begging for death just so I could escape the pain. Then I heard a low rustle in the bushes. I thought it was another bear coming, and I braced myself for the pain, but it never came. I was swept up into cold arms, and flying extremely fast. I thought I was dead, and even though I was almost convinced, I tried to open my eyes. When I did, I couldn't believe what I saw. I thought she was an angel, bringing me to heaven. I didn't even mind the pain. I just fought to keep my eyes open. She ran for a long time, and I wondered when she would take off flying for heaven. Then she brought me to God." He laughed and then continued. "Then fires of hell began to burn over me, and I was surprised that God let the angel stay. I couldn't make my slow mind comprehend why something so beautiful was allowed to stay in hell with me. And every time God came back to check on me, I prayed and hoped he wouldn't take her away. He never did. And when the pain went away, he explained."
"Wow. You sure remember way more than Edward."
"What did Edward tell you?" Emmett laughed.
"Only that he wanted to join the military. He told me his parents names as well."
"Oh, boy have you got a lot to learn...." Alice shook her head in disbelief.
"Oh, my goodness, now I want to know. Is it good or bad?" I was curious.
"You can call it whatever you want." Emmett said, and with that, they told me everything.
AN: Okay, I would really like 10 reviews. If I get said ten reviews, I will post the re-telling Alice talks about, complete with reactions and everything. 10 reviews. You can do it!!!
